Dick and Dora's (Massapequa, neighborhood Italian)
Royal Viking (Woodbury, Scandanavian smorgasbord)
Big Bow Wow (Massapequa, made to order charcoal broiled hamburgers and hot dogs before the proliferation of fast food restaurants. Added bonus, the grill would catch fire at least once a year requiring all the fire trucks to answer the call. As a kid, it was always fun to watch)

El Torito on Jerico Tpk in Westbury. It's been Papa Razzi since at least the early-90s but I miss their Mexican food.

I grew up out east but my grandparents lived in Wantagh so when I'd visit them we'd sometimes go to Farrells. (late 70's)
I was really young so all I remember is the ceiling fans, the brimmed hats and the upside down ice cream cones made to look like a clown. Reply With Quote Quick reply to this message

I was ordering some buffalo chicken wings and I was thinking about the best wings I ever had in my life. It was at El Torito's in Westbury. I went after work during happy hour in the late 1980's and the wings were ten cents at the bar. I remember they were more like a dark brown rather than the red color that is common now. I also remember watching the cook bring out a large tray from the kitchen. It looked like they may have been baked rather than fried; or maybe they were fried and then later baked? The wings were salty & hot, and were perfect with large ice cold mugs of cerveza. I've been looking for wings like that ever since.

That and the Ponderosa steak house, which wasn't too bad either. Fun for kids and a nice break for mom. Reply With Quote Quick reply to this message
