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.

Best French onion soup ever! But it’s seasonal so you’ll only be able to enjoy this while it’s here for winter! But my favorite...the marinated filet with mashed cauliflower and french fries are year round! Among many other options. We come here quite often for date or family night!

This place was so good! The food was excellent! THe restaurant is on the smaller side and crammed but the food makes up for it. The marinated porterhouse was excellent and their steak nachos were on point! He waitress was also so sweet to us. We will definitely be back!

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.

Cliff's food up and down the menu is always solid and the wait staff is a hoot and take good care of you. The place is dated but intentionally so - it's part of the charm - and I have never found it dirty or things not in good working order. Good beer lineup, not so sure about the wine. My only issue is that it closes at random times; I've been turned away at 730 in the winter and 830 in the high season, for a place that lists 10pm as its closing hour.

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

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.

I've heard so many great things about this place, it was time we finally tried it. The marinaded steak is delicious, but I'll make the drive out to Kenny's road next time for what seems like a larger steak with a slightly tastier marinade. I will say though, we were treated kindly and we were not rushed out despite how busy it was, and they actually sat us at the next available table even though it was much larger than the 2 of is needed. I will agree we enjoyed our meal, but our loyalty lies with Cliff's Elbow East.

I ordered the over 20 dollar prime rib sandwich. It was horrible. About two ounces of unidentifiable scraps cooked to death on a flat top with cheese. It covered, not filled, about a third of the bread. The second star is for the fries. I really didn't mind that the place is a dive with a filthy restroom. I was sorely disappointed in the sandwich. When I left, I did see a clue of decent looking burgers being served. Not beef jerky on a club roll.Beverage and service were adequate. I miss the one in Southold That was pretty good.
