**A Mixed Bag at Howard's: A Local Dining Experience** At Howard's, patrons are greeted with a charming, retro ambiance reminiscent of simpler times, offering a diverse menu featuring everything from burgers to hearty comfort food. While many locals appreciate the generous portions and reasonable prices, including complimentary salads and drinks, recent reviews reveal a concerning decline in both food quality and service. Complaints about overcooked dishes, disappointing flavors, and inattentive staff have surfaced, leaving some regulars disillusioned. Though the restaurant has its loyal fans, the inconsistency has prompted others to rethink their dining choices in the area. Overall, it seems Howard's is struggling to maintain its once-stellar reputation.

Was Tanya L at Howard's Cafe a mag?
I discovered this hidden gem while off the beaten path. The steak sandwich was outstanding, and the teriyaki chicken was just as delicious. Their cheeseburgers are amazing, and they have the best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had! Every meal comes with a salad, which is a nice touch. The prices are unbeatable, and I can’t recommend this place enough! Oh, and I was thrilled to find High Noon for just $3.50! View all feedback.

What Robert D dislikes about Howard's Cafe:
I entered and was seated pretty promptly with my party. We were given menus and never had a waitress come to the table. Five waitresses stood around the station talking for the majority of the time we sat there. After nearly fifteen minutes of no attention or service we got up and left. No one even gave us a look. I've eaten here before so it wasn't any busier than other times I've gone there. Very disappointed to se... View all feedback.

So far this has been a good experience, we come from Lindenhurst to eat here probably 2 maybe 3 times a month. We've been coming here for about 4 months now . It's nothing fancy , BUT THE SERVICE IS GREAT last nite our waitress was named Michelle and it was amazing. The food is always cooked to order .

I used to love this place because I enjoyed their burgers. However, my husband ordered the hot open turkey plate, and my friend had the hot open roast beef plate. Both dishes had very little meat and were only warm instead of hot. To my surprise, I found out they were using Boar's Head cold cuts, which seemed overpriced for what we received. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Definitely a locals place... Great value and nothing fancy... The food was good, service was good and prices were very reasonable. Portions are huge and we ended up bringing home half of our orders. It seems like they get a mostly older clientele here. Been coming here for years but not often enough.
