Always our favorite place to eat when we visit IOP. Terry the bartender is a gem and Hunter is an excellent server. The food is excellent each and every time. Make reservations in advance so you won’t miss out when you visit the island.

Both the Cafe and Raw Bar are our favorites- However we have been here a number of times this year and the food is very inconsistent…Sometimes fantastic and other times disappointing- tonight….disappointing. Management needs to pay attention to quality control and consistency of preparation. That said- the service is very good and if you hit it right can be a terrific dining experience.

I ordered a caesar salad and the romaine lettuce was completely waterlogged. I have never had this experience with romaine lettuce. Could it have been frozen and thawed? This salad was inedible.

The menu is beyond fried seafood, it is inventive and yummy. My favorite is the Grouper with crab on top. Great sweet potato fries, they taste homemade. The cole slaw needs something, maybe ask for some old bay, but I like blue cheese cole slaw and they don't have blue cheese in theirs.

It started off a rocky as when we first walked in the and was asked if we wanted inside or outside and we said outside. One of two the receptionist was very snarkey to us. We were taken aback by the rudeness as was the other receptionist standing there with us.

We’ve been here several times and always enjoy it. Our biggest concern is that it is way too noisy. Food was delicious and service was excellent. The tables along the wall are way too close together.

Definitely go eat there. The service was outstanding and the dining room was spotlessly clean, albeit no frills. The food was good, but not great. The options are generous. I would go back and try something else and hope it's a little more flavorful. It would be nice to have some food options that are a little cleaner.... Not broiled with butter, baked instead of fried, light salad dressing, something.

Loved everything about this place. The food was outstanding. Had crab cakes, shrimp and grits, and fried oysters and was really impressed with the presentation and the taste. Service was fantastic too. Everyone was super nice and our server went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Oh and the coconut pie and the key lime pie were some of the best pies I’ve ever had. Cannot wait to be back!

Long Island Cafe has never let us down. We have dined there since it opened in 1986. The food, whether I dine in or take out is always the same- delicious! The greeters and servers are a reflection of its owner- friendly and enjoy serving people. Long Island Cafe is truly 'The Best'.

Nicole was our server, and she is really terrific! She is attentive without being intrusive, and is happy to make recommendations when asked. The food (particularly local dishes) is outstanding! We did the calamari appetizer and peanut butter cheesecake dessert- both terrific! The seating is VERY close together, and the noise level can get quite high. If you are looking for a quiet, romantic spot, this might not be the right place. If you are good with energy, people enjoying one another's company, and great food, this IS the spot!

We had Nicole as our server who was super attentive. We were here on vacation and celebrating our anniversary. Tables are a little too close for my liking but overall not what you'd expect in a strip mall! Food was excellent too!

Our server—April, I think—was stellar. She came by the table at the end of the meal and APOLOGIZED for a wait that we didn’t feel we actually experienced. Service was prompt and the food was absolutely amazing. Poor April was working the patio on her own, and she rocked it. If she were on my staff, I’d have her managing my dining room, she’s that good. Thanks to all at the restaurant for a great experience!
