One of my favorite eateries! A nice variety of freshly made food and everything done right!! You want healthy, try a powerbowl you want something crazy good, get the knish burger or the “all the way” burger. The panini’s are freaking awesome, I recommend the cuban or turkey jalapeño and also, try a milkshake you won’t regret it.

Feels silly calling the pit stop a hidden gem when it’s been featured on the food network, but that’s exactly what it is.
From the outside it looks like an unassuming burger joint, but stepping inside its quickly apparent there’s so much more going on.
We started with the sides of their delicious house made soup along with a fresh summer salad. A delicious clam chowder and probably the best butternut squash soup I’ve ever had.
Split a simple yet perfectly done steak sandwich as well as some phenomenal brisket tacos that were on special. The homemade sauces perfectly complimented the delicious tacos. These should be added to the menu IMO.
After hearing another table raving over the homemade coconut cream cheese cake we forced ourselves to order that and an apple turnover. OMG THE BEST COCONUT CHEESECAKE I have ever tasted. I will travel just for another slice of that delicious cake.
Oh and the whole time the owner Tony was popping over to each table with a familiar greeting or a quick witted one liner checking on everyone. There’s no wonder this spot has been open and serving the local community 20+ years. A true discover yet still somehow hidden gem!!!!!!

Wanted to try a new place, so I stopped by pitstop. This place brings an old school feel with it’s decor. The counter person was very nice and polite. I ordered some spicy wings and fries which were great. The wings were seasoned well all the way through. I would recommend you stop by and try them out. They also have fresh cooked food here as well, with the chefs right where you can see them working. Very nice place.

Small restaurant off the side of sunrise highway. Has lots of food and drink options. The place is very friendly and homey. There’s a number of healthy food options like the power bowls and salads. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Got the steak cheese sandwich on garlic bread
And I got food poisoning from it!!
FACT!! TRUTH on December 30th 2025
I wouldn’t advise anyone to eat there! I got GI food poisoning from them! They say they have strict guidelines, but it’s bullshit. I wouldn’t have gotten sick from it, coming from a Chef for nine years of a local Italian restaurant! Don’t get fooled guys or you will end up in the hospital like me for two days at Mount Sinai Oceanside… THE TRUTH HURTS Time to call the Health Department

I was curious about this restaurant since Guy Fieri featured this establishment on his tv show. I ordered a quinoa burger and onion rings and thought the food was pretty yummy. The quinoa patty is decently sized and very healthy.

An amazing restaurant! Everything made to order! The food was out of this world! No wonder they qualified to be featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! Can’t wait to go back and try something else! The owners are awesome!!

The Salmon Salad was so big and delicious! And their staff’s hospitality is also nice. It’s a self-service style restaurant but I love and recommend it. 😀

I was at The Pitstop in Merrick on Sunday November 09, 2025. The food was very excellent, but the 2 girls working there made me want to throw up. They are the rudest evil people that could ever work anywhere. Even though the food was so good I can never return there. Those nasty girls left a bad taste in my mouth!!!!!

I seen The Pit Stop on Diners Drives and Dives and had to try it out. I tried the Cuban Sandwich as a combo meal with clam chowder and both were phenomenal. The clam chowder was one of the best I have ever had. My girlfriend had the spaghetti squash and she killed the whole plate, she said it was really good. Our friend had one of their specials, the lobster roll combo meal with sweet potato fries and she also said her food was all around delicious. Not only was the food great but the staff is very friendly and the dining area is very clean. If you are in the area I highly recommend checking out the Pit Stop!
