Farrells, West islip
03/13/24
Found myself meeting someone at Farrells, in West Islip, this evening..
They called and canceled while I was waiting for them to show up, so I ate alone 🤷♂️
I ordered the burger my usual medium rare, with cheddar, the bun toasted, and fries extra crispy..
Holy Moly, was I surprised about how good this burger is.
My surprise came from me never hearing from anyone that Farrells had a good burger!!! I think Gerry Ryan let me down on this one.🤣😎
And, I asked for an Old Fashioned, and was told " "they dont make them"😎Irish bar, so I'll cut them some slack🍀☘ Fair enough, I had a Harp, which I thoroughly enjoyed, cold, crisp, and fresh
The burger came to me a near perfect medium rare. Kudos to the Chef!
The taste of the meat hit all my tastebud cylinders.
Salty, earthy, unctuous tastes, were all there.
I'm not sure what Brand Angus they use, but it's a definite winner, in my mind.
You could tell they "hand press" this hamburger, in house; just from seeing, and tasting the loose structure of the meat as it sat in the bun.
Not Top 5, but definitely a "Top 10" on my Burger scale👍 Excellent burger.
Good price, as well, $15.25, with fries
I think they need a new pretzel bun, but that's just one man's opinion. It wasnt bad, but...
The hand cut fries were also really good...Very crispy on the outside, pillowy soft, and a prominent potatoy taste, on the inside.
The service was excellent, with the busy bartenders being very efficient with their movements.
Most of the tables were filled, and more than half the bar stools were filled, when I was there at 6pm, and service did not falter.
Parking was relatively easy this evening at 6pm ish, as there is a parking lot behind it, and there is street parking..I have passed there when the lot was filled to capacity, and most of the close street parking was taken, and have had to park a distance away.
As I was paying the bill, and complimenting the burger to the bartender, she shared that Burgers are 1/2 off on Mondays and Thursdays😎
They also have a lot of Happy Hour Food specials, that are on their website, like 1/2 price wings one day, $4 Taco Tuesdays, and other things I didnt pay attention to, but noted, for future reference 😎

Great Wings, also the had the artichoke dip, stuffed clams and soft pretzels and lots of drinks. The actually had a decent bourbon selection( I had an eagle 10). Super nice owner, Mike Houlihan. Easy going place with a nice vibe.
