We visited when they were a somewhat rushed for service and therefore had to wait a little, but the staff were friendly and understanding (we had young kids with us that needed food thrown into them). The space and decor is dark but well designed as a warm feeling space erring on the traditional pub design. The menu looks to be regular pub-grub but actually is a higher standard: the burger was quality (a generously proportioned) but the pulled pork was fantastic.

The Homestead has the best burger that I've had in a while. We stopped by during our trip to Oyster Bay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our server, Katie, was super nice and attentive despite having lots of tables. The lunch menu felt like such a steal and had lots of options. Our group of four ordered two Sriracha burgers, the Texas burger, and the fig and prosciutto pizza and everything was amazing. The burger patty was so much thicker than I was expecting (I had to include a picture just to show how thick it is) and the fries were perfectly crispy. We went on a Monday and there was plenty of street parking nearby. The prices were extremely reasonable and we were absolutely stuffed after.

Excellent big pretzel! Nice and warm and soft and tasty! This is off the main strip in Oyster Bay with all the stores and restaurants to check out! Food was good. The inside has a lot of history and very nicely preserved. We had lunch there but I think it’s probably has more action at night. I recommend checking this place out.

My fiance and i had a wonderful time there. There atmosphere was cozy even at the outdoor tables. The food was excellent (definitely get the mussels) the service was excellent even though it was our watresses (stephanie) first night there. She couldn't accommodate us enough. The absolute cherry on top was the live music which absolutely rocked and made the nights experience that much more perfect. Big shout out to bob-tony trio

Stopped in for a burger and a beer. This place is a solid 4. I normally laugh when a restaurant asks how you want your burger cooked cause it always comes out well done. I asked for medium, and it fame back medium. If I knew they could nail it, I would have gone medium rare. The burger was well seasoned and excellent flavor. Fries were good too. Great lunch I had.

Great food, great waitress. Good beer selection. Solid neighborhood restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their food and we felt right at home. I can't believe I'd never been here before.

Excellent place here in Oyster Bay. Burgers, sandwiches, and apps are wonderful. The baked clams are well prepared, with bread and the portions are good. Burgers are always cooked to perfection and the place is very nice for sure.

Hidden little gem . We Sat in the courtyard in the sun.. the homestead salad was huge and really good. Loved the baked clams..it contained the whole clam not just a bread filler the ahituna tartar looked amazing but i didnt eat it ( im not a fish gal). The lobster bisque wasnt anything to write home about. There were no pices of lobster in it...Nor the taste of sherry. The things i look for in a lobster bisque.. i had the crab stuffed shrimp with crispy rissota patty. They were ok but not much crab meat in them .i wasnt impressed with risotto it tasted kind of starchy or pasty.. but thats just my opinion. Salmon was cooked well but it had the nuts on top not necessarily crusted. unfortunately my daughter found around siv small bones in her salmon..so just be cqreful
