Oh my goodness this place is just amazing – awesome food and a cool old fashioned vibe to it! We are going back again in two weeks – already planned it – and can’t wait! Nancy was our server and she is nothing less than incredible!

Really good prices for all the food you get. We both got a marinated steak special that comes with 3 shrimp and a side – we got mashed potatoes and gravy. Also came with a house salad that we both ate every drop!

My first time at this Long Island institution, got all there classics the baked clam and the marinated ribeye, I now understand why this place has been open forever. I was absolutely blown away by the steak such a unique and can not miss experience if your on the north fork

Classic North fork restaurant that’s been around most of my life.

Great food quaint atmosphere and the marinated steak is the way to go.

I went on a night where they had a special, and though everything was good, the steak was a little bit thin. It was tender and well seasoned and perfectly cooked as always, but I was a little disappointed. Next time I’m going for the porterhouse and reliving my childhood memories.

Another great option is their marinated burgers. I kind of think that Cliff or whoever is running the restaurant these days are kind of like that guy in the Stephen King novel about a guy who has a Time portal in the the basement of his Diner and can go back 30 years in time and source local grass-fed Non-Commercially steroid-filled beef. Their steaks and…and burgers are always top notch, and their red clam chowder is outstanding.

The weekly steak special is a great deal, but if you want the real elbow room experience, come and get the porterhouse or the New York strip you will not be disappointed. I recommend that if there are two of you one orders the marinated steak one orders the non-marinated steak. Then you can compare and decide. Then come back here and weigh in on your thoughts. For me? I’m normally a salt pepper only guy when it comes to steak, but at the elbow room I will only go marinated because it’s the only place you can get that unique Elbow room black marinade.

A MUST visit.

The food was so wholesome! The steak caprese salad was so delicious! The maple bacon smash burger with sweet potato fries was also amazing. The fries had cinnamon butter to dip with. So good. Service was fabulous. We ate at the bar and Jackie was so personable and kind. We will visit here again for sure.

First visit to this long island institution after a fund day visiting wineries. Reservation for 6:30 and we were seated immediately. Place was packed and I felt like I was the only one there for the first time lol. Great atmosphere.

Started with a mixed order of raw clams and oysters. Both were fresh, perfectly shucked and delicious.

Wife went with an order of fried calamari which she enjoyed but was nothing”special”.

I’ve heard over and over about their legendary marinade so I went with a Marinated rib eye that was on special. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. The marinade was very good, but the real game changer was the delicious compound garlic butter.

All and all a low key very good meal. You can see why they have the reputation that they do.

Great local resturant with delicious food and a cozy warm environment. I got the special pickle burger and my mom got wings and French onion soup. The burger was great and the fried pickles on top were a fun touch! My mom’s soup was tasty and the wings were fantastic!

What a great experience it is. It’s exactly what the name says and a tight dining room. I had a T-Bone steak cooked to perfection. My wife had the duck that was also delicious. We had fresh Oysters and Shrimp cocktails for appetizers. For dessert we shared a piece of Almond cake. This is a definite return trip restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we had a lot of laughs with them. The price was very reasonable.

Cliff’s Elbow Room
Est. 1958

Layout/atmosphere
*Cottage; bar area (four TVs; ATM); dining room (seven or eight tables); three parking spots in front

Service
*Solid

Food/drink
*House salad (with French dressing) – solid; no cucumbers or tomatoes
*Baked clams – Good; mushrooms in the stuffing; not just breadcrumbs and a piece of clam
*Porterhouse steak (with French fries & corn) – good; marinade almost like a soy sauce; fries needed salt
*Chocolate cake – OK; too dense without moist texture; sweeter chocolate

Been waiting for forever to review this place. 100 out of 5 every time. The steak comes out black and you’re like”…what have I done with my life?” And then the first bite comes and oh my god so good. Whatever they marinate it with is the best. The cook is always perfect, the salad is always perfect the fries are always perfect. Everything…perfect. it gets a bit tight and loud inside because…it’s small…it’s called elbow room for a reason, but it should absolutely not dissuade you from coming in and enjoying a marinated filet. The prices are outrageous as well. A petite filet anywhere else would be double the price and half as good. Wish the fried mushrooms would be a permanent menu item and not just a special. Definitely try it when it’s on the specials menu. Will always come here when going to the jamesport area. The best. Go here immediately.
