Reviews for The Republic in Farmingdale, NY
Very slow service. We were at a table but the bartender seemed more interested in talking with the people at the bar. It was... as though we didn't even exist. And it wasn't even crowded. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. Read more
I absolutely love this place. Me and my girl have been here many times and the food and is always delicious and reasonably... priced. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Looking forward to future visits. Read more
Stopped in for lunch. Great location, right on Main Street in downtown Farmingdale. Lee was SUPER friendly and helpful.... Extensive beer list - some unique beers that you won't find elsewhere + your typical bottled ones. So many delicious menuoptions made it hard to choose which to get! (We'll just have to go back a bunch of times & try them all!) We shared a cup ofthe baked, pulled pork mac & cheese. Cavatappi pasta with a homemade whiskey barbecue sauce mixed in with all the cheese then asubtle crunch from the panko sent it overboard. Delicious and comforting on this cold, wintery day. We each got a burger - "TheUgly" & "The Bistro". The Ugly was beautiful. The cheese sauce and chili that topped the burger had a slight kick due to thejalapenos. Absolutely incredible. (Get it with cajun fries for an extra kick of spice) The Bistro was cooked medium-well (asordered) and was still extra juicy. The apricots gave a nice sweetness to the salty, thick cut bacon. Overall, great diningexperience. Clean, friendly, cold beer and delicious food. They offer takeout and delivery through Uber Eats, also. Read more
Had the shepherd's pie for lunch , for two . Potato crust was nice and lumpy from fresh made spuds. The meat inside was tender... and the mixed in veggies were nice and firm to the tooth. LOVED the brown gravy on it. The waitperson, Leigh , was a hoot tochat with. Ate our meal on the back outdoor patio which had nice plantings in it. Read more
Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and I love the rotating art on the walls. I actually picked up a piece to bring home as... a souvenir!! Their loaded fries are the bomb. The sweet potato fries would make you slap your grandma for more, and theshepherds pie makes Ireland look like England. Seriously, if you've never been you have to come here. Best irish pub in thearea, ans possibly the state!! Whenever I come back to this area in New York ill be stopping in. Read more
Food was greatest for the price. Really hit the spot. Unfortunately their take on an Old Fashion was the worst old fashion I've... had. Watered down, no flavor, cheep cherry. Stick to the beers and you'll be better off for it. Read more
Came in on a weeknight and had a great experience. There was bar trivia which was a pleasant surprise and the place was lively... but we still were able to be seated instantly. There was a decent selection of draft beers, the waitstaff was helpful andknowledgeable. I ordered the ugly burger, it tasted amazing and was also cooked to a perfect medium. The fries were also hot andcrispy. Everything was fantastic would definitely go back again. Read more
As in my star rating of 5, everything finds truth in drink choice, food, and friendly staff. Bartenders know their stuff and... able to recommend drinks of choice depending on preference. Light beer to dark beer, they have what you want and need Read more
