There's something for everyone if you set your standards low enough. Give me a well run independent eating place any day of the week over any chain. Like the Phil's in Wading River, if that's what you're talking about.
There's enough of everything here.
Unless you are looking for true exotic like fried grubs, chocolate covered ants, bbq rodent, and chilled monkey brains. Gotta trek to the city (or the jungle) for that stuff. Very spensive.

OK, tough guy, your way or the highway? I can't have an opinion? Please tell me when you went to these restaurants last and name them.
By the way, the Phil's in Massapequa. There isn't a restaurant that comes close to that in this area. (And that place is a fancy pizzeria). If so please name. I've been to them all in this area. Overpriced, mediocre food and service. I know what I'm getting in Miller's and the bartenders and staff are great.

You can certainly have your opinion, but consistency would help validate it. On one hand you're touting formulaic, corporate operations and on the other you're boosting a long term, local, family owned restaurant.
Miller's and Duffy's are just larger versions of Applebee's; the food won't kill you but it certainly doesn't make me want to return. It kind of surprises me that a guy will choose a local pizza place over Dominos or Pizza Hut but favor a faceless corporate sports bar over a neighborhood one "where everybody knows your name."
Needs more of my grandmother's home cooking. Food tourism is a joke for lame people with nothing better to do on a Friday night than virtue signal their cultural bona fides.
An actual Spanish (as in SPAIN) restaurant. We use to go to Marbella in Bayside, but the ride is a bit long.
Yes Spanish is a good one. Apparently NNJ has a lot of them. In Harrison, Kearny, Ironbound area there is myriad according to Gordon Ramsay when he visited a Spanish Restaurant in NJ on Kitchen Nightmares.
There is also Meson Madrid in Pal Park. And the new Hudson Yards has Mercado Little Spain by Jose Andres. I went to Jose Andres' Bazaar Meats in LV. Really overpriced.
I wonder why NNJ has so many but not LI. LI does have this Portuguese place called Lisbon Cafe nearby the Whole Foods in Jericho

Other than that, Russian and Eastern European food. It's an underrated cuisine, and I used to visit Brooklyn for those vittles.
I have not noticed many Turkish on LI. NNJ again, and NYC has many
Spanish, South American, Cuban, West African, Lebanese and really good Indian.
