Great place for burger and fries! Had an awesome chocolate martini or two ♀️. Our waiter waitress was awesome. Ambiance was warm and cozy. We started with the nachos and wings and they were perfect. Also had the grilled cheese, and it was perfect. Ended with cheese cake that was amazing!!!!

So we all know places advertise that they have the best this or the best that. For a while now a friend of mine has been telling me about one of our partners having the best French dip. To be honest I love french tips and not a lot of places can compete with some of the places that I’ve had them at. Tonight all that changed.
Let’s jump into my review of Old City Public House .
We went for an early dinner tonight because we’re going to see my friend play down at Smith’s point. Anyone interested The John Fogerty Tribute Project we’ll be rocking about 6:30.
When we walked in we were greeted immediately and asked where we wanted to sit. I always like my back to the wall so we sat at a table in the corner.
Our waitress Ann was awesome. She made the whole experience enjoyable. She made viable suggestions on the menu and told me what the most popular dishes were. She brought to my attention that everybody loves their French dips.
I ordered a beer and the wife had a margarita, and the boy child went out on a limb and ordered a glass of water without a lemon.
Of course had to order the wings. You decided that today he didn’t want to even deal with the bones but just wanted to deal with straight chicken. He really enjoyed them and said they had enough kick. Are they super hot no so for those of you that don’t like to burn your mouth off these are perfect. He did ask for extra sauce because like I said in an earlier review he loves them wet. For July and August they have by 10 wings get five for free. So my son devoured 15 boneless wings.
The wife ordered a shrimp Caesar salad. Now a lot of times I caution her on ordering shrimp but wanted an honest opinion of this place. Sometimes ordering shrimp out at a restaurant you get some funky shrimp. Not here. She really enjoyed the salad she said it was well-dressed and even came with two extra dressings.
Now for my meal. Like I said I love French dips and I haven’t had one in such a long time because nobody compares to a restaurant that I used to go to in Islip and have them. Well that restaurant is long gone so I’ve been kind of at a loss. And suggested the Brooklyn French dip. It is your traditional French dip served with au jus and had red roasted peppers in it. Sometimes the as you I have gotten has been too salty but this was absolutely perfect. At the end of the meal I jokingly said to my son I was going to drink it, so he tried it and said it was really good LOL I wanted to finish it but it was gone. The meat was tender and the bread was fresh.
My meal came with a side of fries. Usually the fries are just that a side dish that nobody cares about. I don’t know if they were double fried but they were golden in color had a crispy outside with a soft Center. It may be the type of french fries they were but they were phenomenal. The meal came with a little tiny side dish of a horseradish sauce that I was probably supposed to put on my French dip. I opted not to because I wanted to taste the meat and decided to dip my French fries in it. Jokingly I told our waitress that I want a tub of this stuff to put on absolutely everything I’ve ever eating again.
This restaurant will definitely be in our rotation. I think we’re going to plan on Monday night because as you can see in one of my pictures they have a special board and Monday is buy one get one free French dips. Check this place out if you’re in the area of ronkonkoma diagonally across from the ronkonkoma fire department.

Tried a French Dip sandwich. Good size portion, fries were good, the beef was tender. Overall, good portion, but nothing special in flavor.

I can only give the food 3 stars only because I only chose appetizers. They were really good. I will update this review after my next visit where I will try some meals..

Relaxing atmosphere and so many sandwich choices. I had the Brooklyn Dip with onion rings and it was delicious. The appetizer sampler platter was good-included wings, fried mozzarella sticks and potato skins. Reasonable prices for the entrees.

I stop by for drinks . Very quiet place,comparing to others bars. Just surprised me it’s close early ( 10 pm) . Food was normal, i can’t say something extravagantly. And a lot of choices of meat. If you want just take a bite and talk ,this place for you.

This restaurant truly makes one of the best French dip sandwiches. I have to say it was perfect and tasted amazing. The service was great and so were the appetizers and drinks. I highly recommend this place and you have to try their French dip sandwiches.
