Cavanaugh's — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

From Christmas week, 12/26.

I'm a bit behind with Burger reviews

This burger was awesome.

I have been here before, last September, but did not post a review here about it

I ordered it my usual medium rare, and they cooked it exactly the way I liked it.

The meat blend they used is spectacular...

.It really hit my tastebuds the right way.

The bun was fresh, a bit soft, but held up well against the juicy burger..

The price was right , $14.50 WITH bacon and cheese.

The fries were crispy as I like them.

My dining partner had the French Onion Soup, as it was one of the Specials. She said it was up there with one of the best she's had in a while.

The service was great!!! Our waitress was quick, professional, upbeat, and funny

It was busy, as they have a few popular specials on Tuesdays, one being a $22 porterhouse.. The table next to us both ordered it, and they said they loved it.

Thanks Merissa

They have their own parking lot, but it fills up quick..There is also street parking. I've never had a problem there

This burger is in my Top Tier , Top 5 territory..

Which is getting very crowded.I'm going to have to budge my stubbornness thinking I can decide the 5 best, when there are truly numerous "TopTier" burgers on Long Island, and on my Radar Screen; which is all of Suffolk County, and an occasional foray into the 516...

I came here for the first time with family members of around 10 people. We were seated right away in the back dining room. The place has a bunch of great sports memorabilia hanging all over the place. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and on point. Didn't have to ask for refills. I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries and I loved it. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Total bill was about 200 bucks including a few appetizers we had ordered. Parking lot was very spacious and the place was clean including the bathroom. Also had a good bar atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and return. The potato skins...

Worst experience ever. Wait staff was too busy on phone and very inattentive. Order came out wrong and the fried chicken cutlet was dry and tasteless like it sat for a few days. Server never asked how things were etc like she couldn't be bothered. This is very surprising but maybe not as there was only one other couple eating there around 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon . Two other people sat down, had drinks and left before we did. Apparently not happy either. Definitely not worth the time or money. We had been a patron here for several years, but, would be hard pressed to visit...
