The Main Event Farmingdale Reviews
A friend of us took us out to dinner at this place and we had no idea what to expect. The salad with grilled chicken was delicious. The steak was tasted to perfection. Service was pretty good. A few weeks later we went back on our own and had another good meal. This is definitely one of our go-to places when we are in the area.
Wow! Why did we wait so long? I've driven past this place a hundred times but never stopped until this past week. It is best described as, if Miller's Ale House and the Tap Room had a super baby, this would be it! Lots more TVs than Miller's, better decor and more seats than Tap Room. Decor is amazing, staff couldn't be more friendly. The menu was great, the amount of choices were perfect. Lots of different food combinations and totally different sauce flavors and food mixtures. Gotta give it a try for sure!!!
Great place! Will definitely be back. Friendly, accommodating service. Food was delicious. Appreciate it, keep up the good work! There was trivia night there, so fun for your patrons.
The food was great!! The service was great! The only complaint I had, is that it being a sports bar, it is really noisy. It is kind of hard to have a conversation with my friends. But other than that, the food was amazing!
First time trying The Main Event as I am in town for work. Parking lot is very busy even on a Wednesday night. But once you get in seated right away. The place is very nicely decorated for Christmas with Christmas music playing. TV’s everywhere for all the games. Nice sized portions for a decent price. I ordered the grilled chicken with Tennessee sauce over seasoned rice. It came with a side house salad which was very good. If you are in the area and can find a parking spot check it out.
We had an amazing time at The Main Event in Farmingdale this past Saturday for a retirement party with about 50 guests. From start to finish, everything went perfectly! Steve, the manager, was incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure our group had everything we needed. A huge shout-out to Shannon, our server—she was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, the drinks were even better, and the entire staff made us feel welcome and taken care of all evening. It’s not easy to manage a large group, but they pulled it off flawlessly. Highly recommend The Main Event for any celebration or get-together—great people, great service, and great vibes all around!
Christian the food runner- just promoted to server (well deserved) was absolutely AWESOME. Very friendly and focused on excellent customer service. Definitely one of the best!
Had a great lunch day with a friend of mine. The owner came over and said hi. The food was good. Everything was tasty. Can't complain.
I have to post a review for this spot. Great for college football/basketball viewing with what seemed like 1500 TVs. (NFL as well) Overall the food was excellent but the French dip sandwich on garlic bread was on another level. Not something I order much but now will compare the rest to it...
I had my daughter’s 1st birthday party here a couple of weeks ago. They have a private area in the back of the restaurant. Steve was so wonderful to work with and the entire staff is so friendly, professional, organized, and provide the absolute best service. The food was beyond fantastic. Besides the best wings ever, this place hosts an amazing party that networks with a bakery that made the most delicious cake! We can’t wait to come back and have dinner here soon. Pictured is the birthday girl enjoying the best meatball slider on the planet. 😋
My husband and I got married in September and decided to have a celebration dinner here for about 40 people. We had eaten here on our own and went to a rehearsal dinner as well so we knew we liked it already. The woman we worked with was amazing and kept in touch to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. On the day of, we showed up early to set up and right away we were asked if we wanted anything to drink, etc. The service was incredible, they were so attentive and caring to everyone there. The food was delicious, our cake was beautiful and tasted great, and it was PERFECT. We had such a great time and got complemented by multiple people that it was a great idea and they wanted to come back on their own time to enjoy the food again. Thank you guys for giving us such a memorable experience with our friends and family!
I came here for lunch while visiting from out of town. Really great spot to watch sporting events. Bartender was really nice. I got the turkey burger with fries and no bun. It was good. Happy with my overall experience there.
Portions enormous The guy next to us had a double cheeseburger and I mean oh my god, it was 2 burgers ginormous. We watched the NY Rangers Game on 4 huge screens, service was great. Atmosphere great. Very clean. A bit hidden from the road, So you might not know what's there, but if you do and you find it, it's an awesome huge sports bar with great food and drinks
We decided to dine here as they participated in restaurant week. We arrived around 6 and were greeted and seated immediately. We were waited on by Matt who was gracious and had a pleasant demeanor. I wasn't expecting to be impressed by sports bar food but I was surprised! We ordered bake clams, crab cake, and broiled salmon and had oreo crunch ice cream for dessert. Salmon was well seasoned with a nice crispy exterior and moist inside. I cant stop singing its praises. We tried the Chilean sea bass but it didn't agree with our palate. Overall 2 thumbs up to the Main Event!
It's been awhile since I have been here but tonight we had a team meeting and this was the spot. The food was really good. I had the Tennessee steak and vegetables, my teammates had burgers and the Romanian steak ..everything came out hot and delicious and that is no easy feat for 12 people. Ample parking, wheelchair accessible. Great for family, friends and coworkers. Nice easy going atmosphere. Loads of TV'S for the sports fans! 2 well stocked bars.
Awesome place. Love the wings the best. Raw oysters good too. Huge place, huge bar, trivia night. Great energy.

One bartender for a rather large bar, was ignored for a majority of the time. Oysters were good. Lobster bisque was cream heavy and thick than broth based, lots of krab in it with small bits of real lobster. I may or may not return.
Good food. Our server was great. Very good beer selection. Lots of parking.
I may be using too old a reference to have any weight saying it, but imagine the bar from "Cheers" but six times bigger. With wonderful music playing and sports on not one, not two, but MANY television sets so everyone can see the games going on. Food was great, the dessert too. Isabella was a great attendant. I never wanted for anything during the whole experience. Thanks for the meal, The Main Event!
Great place to meet up with friends. Lots of seating with many food and drink choices which has not disappointed! Friendly and efficient service will continue to be our meeting place,
For a bar/grill food spot it was pretty good overall my burger i got the one that's served on a hero it was a little dry for a medium rare burger. Our server Jill was great! Overall it was a really good spot.

Get the great grilled wings! Not fried. No breading. Extremely tasty and healthier.
My second time here. I had their sampler which included bbq and buffalo wings, some fried shrimp and calamari. It was just ok their standard bar fare. What really REALLY disappointed me was their Baked "clams". Not only were they not clams, but the seafood filling had imitation crab meat in it. Why even bother to call it baked clams on the menu then? You get the clam, take out the meat and replace it with fake crab meat? I dont get it.
I ordered a Sella Tap. Kinda funky. Not sure if the taps were clean or just not used enough. Probably won't go back. Atmosphere like B-Dubs.
Nice sports bar/restaurant. Parking was a bit challenging but once we got in we were seated. Our waitress must have been new because every question we asked about the dishes we were interested in she had to go back into the kitchen to give us a response. I ordered the seafood francese and the fish fillet, shrimp and scallops were fresh and cooked well. I didn’t care for the francese sauce though, it was butter heavy and lacked flavor, I didn’t taste any white wine or chicken stock in the sauce which is typical of a francese sauce. The sauteed spinach was very good. I gave it a lower rating for service because the waitress didn’t refill my water or come by to ask if we needed anything else. It would be a great place to watch a sporting event and have a drink with appetizers or finger food.
Went there this past Saturday night with a group of ten, and as you can imagine it was crowded. We had reservations and was pleasantly surprised when were seated right away. The place is huge with …
Not bad food but definitely not worth the money. It's a good bar place for nfl Sundays but try and get in there early or make a reservation.
