Modern Snack Bar

The only "Modern" in this establishment is the name. I was really disappointed with my experience here. The service was frustrating,I had to ask for drink refills three separate times before anyone followed through. The restaurant itself feels extremely outdated; it looks like it hasn’t been upgraded since the 1970s. There’s also a strong musty, old-basement smell that makes the whole environment uncomfortable. The food was bland and definitely didn’t match the prices they’re charging. For the quality, atmosphere, and service, it’s simply overpriced. I also noticed that most of the patrons seemed to be in their 70s, which adds to the overall “stuck in time” feeling the place gives off. $61 for one cheese burger,one order of wings and a BLT before tip . Unfortunately, I won’t be visiting

Had the half duck with sides — perfectly juicy and crispy. Also tried a slice of cake, which was delicious. Otto stopped by our table, and he couldn’t have been kinder — such a sweet man with a twinkle in his eye, a bit like Colonel Sanders. A truly lovely, honey-warm experience. I’ll definitely be back! PS - Sandra our waitress was so friendly, warm and helpful!!!! She’s a keeper!! ❤️

75 years young, always a winner! Suggest trying the fresh fried flounder sandwich - it’s a guaranteed great meal! Desserts galore, and so much more. Service always with a smile.

My family and I have been going to the Modern Snack Bar for as long as I can remember. It’s one of those classic North Fork spots that never disappoints. My go-to meal is the roast turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy, red cabbage, and cranberry sauce, though the prime rib special is just as good. Everything tastes like a comforting, home-cooked meal. The food is always fresh and delicious, from their homemade soups to their famous mashed turnips, which I recently tried and loved. And you can’t leave without having one of their pies — the banana cream, chocolate cream, and lemon meringue are all incredible. I love the old-time atmosphere and the friendly, familiar staff, many of whom have been there for years. If you’re anywhere near the North Fork, I highly recommend stopping in. It’s a t

I had dinner here at the modern snack bar about 1 week before this years thanksgiving and I was expecting great American style home cooking and that's exactly what I got on that night! I can't recommend this place highly enough to anyone that's from out of town that's looking for great home cooking on the north fork of long island new york. I'm not using any hyperbole here, this place is the real deal! Please don't forget to get yourself a few quarts of turnips to take home, they're the best on the east end of long island! Chefs kiss!
