Governor’s Comedy Clubs — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

First off, I know you go there for the comedy and not for the food. Since you are required to purchase 2 items, I feel the need to address the cuisine. We saw Vic Dibitetto last night and he was hilarious! The woman who opened was great and had us laughing (I'm sorry I forgot her name). We had a great time laughing (almost choked on food because it came about 45 minutes after we ordered, but I'll get to that.)

We get seated at a table. It was for two. We thought "Great! We won't have to sit with strangers." Problem is, the table was a little circular side table with enough room for about 2 drinks and that was it. It had a table cloth tucked under the foot of the table so that when you were crossing your legs you'd drag the cloth. We ordered drinks (which were good) and French Onion Soup (which was way too salty). We put in our order for cheeseburgers after the soup was brought. I ordered medium rare, my boyfriend medium well. The burgers included pasta salad, fries and a pickle. We wanted to eat before Vic took the stage because it's kind of rude and awkward eating while someone is performing. Also, I think it's a choking hazard to eat something while at a comedy club, especially if the performer is funny. Our server must've come back to us about 5 times apologizing for the delay in our food. I get it. It's busy. We told him it wasn't his fault. We ordered more drinks while waiting (we met our minimum requirements and have gone over at this point.) Finally, the food comes over a half hour later, as Vic is performing. Both are burnt to a crisp, dry as anything. No medium well nor rare, but black. No pasta salad. No pickles. I had to put my drink under my seat along with the electric candle because there wasn't any room on the tray that we were seated at. I ate the fries because I really did not want this lump of charcoal to be my last meal on this Earth because I laughed and choked on it. Get the check. Tip already included (been here before. Not surprised. Just a little aggravated because we had tried to tell the server to cancel the burgers after the half hour mark, but it was hard to hear in there. I made a slicing gesture across my throat on his 4th trip expressing regrets about the delay, but it's really dark in there.)

Anyway, my advice is go for the comedy, but eat something before. You still have to order 2 items per person (I'm buying tickets for an event, don't get why you're forced to eat and drink to be merry, but whatever.) Just get something that doesn't need to be prepared in...

If there was a way to put no stars, that’s what this place deserves. On Saturday, December 28, I along with 13 other people in my group attended the uncle Louis Holiday variety show. The show was one of the best comedy shows I’ve seen. The only thing is that I would’ve rather sat outside and watched it then sit inside this comedy club in Levittown. The building itself it’s very undated you walk in and your shoes stick to the carpet. Thank God it’s dark in there because of the lights are on bright. We all might’ve just walked out. The bathroom floors were like an ice-skating rink. Not sure what they use to clean the floor if that’s even done, but the men’s bathroom was a disgrace. There was two urinals one was covered. The other one looked like something from a deserted building. The one toilet they had was filthy and along side of it look like someone threw up, and it was never cleaned. The worst thing was the ladies bathroom which my 87 year-old mother cannot navigate because the floors were so slippery. My sister asked the gentleman in the front. If there was another bathroom he said no we had told him the floors were very slippery in the bathroom and they were dangerous to walk on, but he didn’t seem to care. I could just imagine what the kitchen looks like if the bathrooms are like that . The food was subpar they forced you to order two items. They force you to order more than one drink because they fill up the cups with ice and just put a small amount of beverage. Then when you ask for water, it’s like pulling teeth. We asked for a pitcher of water and refused to bring it they just kept on bringing single cups That you had to wait an extended period of time for. The bill for our party was just under $700 plus the cost of the tickets to enter. What a joke would never recommend this place. I will...

Awful experience. Did the dinner/show combo which seems like a good deal, but the food was bad. They squeeze you in like sardines in a can, literally to the point where you're bumping elbows into the people next to you trying to cut your food. It's definitely violating OSHA/Fire safety capacity regs. Since it's so tight, the servers are literally carrying trays of food above your heads..my server accidentally dropped a dessert plate all over me. She immediately apologized, and being a server myself I understood it wasn't her fault. However, she didn't do anything else, so I went to the front desk. I informed the manager what happened and she didn't offer to fix it or anything. She only asked which server it was and I said it wasn't her fault; it's packed in there. The manager simply said they were sold out. I had to ask for them to at least cover the dry cleaning charge for my jacket. I had chocolate all over my jacket, jeans and shoes. They could have at least offered to cover a drink or something after already spending almost $200.00 dollars. I could have been rude, nasty, and yelled, but I didnt. It was completely unprofessional and ruined the comedy show for me. I won't be going back there. It's too tight in there and they only care about packing the room out and making money, not about quality satisfaction and customer service. I rarely write reviews, but I was so disgusted by this experience I don't want other people to have to go through what I went though. Thinking about how tight the seats are and how the servers carry drinks and food literally over guests heads, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have had spilled food on me...
