Standard Rec Patchogue Reviews
We come here often and have had a few private parties here but wanted to specifically should out the great time but we had during last week’s tiki cocktail class with Joey and Lucy. We were so impressed by the creative recipes because they weren’t just standard pina coladas or super sugary premixed cocktails. The suvenier glasses were cool, the custom drink cards and all the decor were high quality, and then custom food menu complimented all the drinks.I hope they do another one we will definitely attend!
My sister and I went here on a Saturday evening before a show at the Patchogue theater. It was 5:30. We got a table right away. The server was very attentive. We each ordered a drink from the bar. We had that pretzel appetizer. It was soft and buttery and the cheese sauce was good. The Caesar salad Milanese was huge. The dressing was delicious and the chicken was just right. My sister got the tacos which were excellent. We enjoyed the decor. The cassette wall in the Women's bathroom was awesome! They had board games you could play at your table but we didn't partake. We would definitely go back and recommend to others.

I've lived on Main street for 6 years, and this restaurant is easily my favorite to eat at and take friends to. Great food, cocktails, and the games element just makes a regular night a little more fun. I've hosted birthdays and Christmas parties here and the service has been great, they send you home with all of the leftover food wrapped up nicely. 10/10
I’ve visited Standard Rec a few times now, and it’s consistently been a standout experience; especially the staff, who are super friendly, attentive, and genuinely sincere. Whether I’m visiting with friends or family, the warmth behind the bar always enhances the night. During my most recent visit, Luca was serving us. His great smile, positive attitude, and seamless service skills made the evening extra enjoyable; he clearly knows exactly what he’s doing and makes everyone feel welcome. There was another bartender working alongside him; unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name, but he had long hair and was wearing a Yankees cap that evening. He, too, was incredibly attentive and friendly, rounding out a stellar team. We went during happy hour, which runs Tuesday through Friday from 2 PM to 7 PM , and were impressed; not just by the deals, but by the consistently great service. While happy hour is a fantastic time to drop in, the vibe and the staff make this a place we’d happily visit at any time of day. Highlights: • Exceptional staff: Luca’s welcoming presence and skilled service; and the friendly bartender with long hair and Yankees cap—made us feel truly valued. • Happy hour perks: Great specials, in a warm, upbeat setting. • Always welcoming: Whether it’s a casual outing with friends or an evening with family, Standard Rec delivers an experience you’ll want to revisit. If you’re looking for a friendly, fun spot with great service and a relaxed vibe, especially during happy hour, Standard Rec is a perfect choice. I’m already planning my next visit!
The vibe at standard is almost nostalgic as a 90s baby. It’s fun, vibrant, love the arcade games and table games. We ordered the shrimp and rice, original smash burger and kids Mac and cheese. Pleasantly surprised with the food, the rice and shrimp was delicious! Also tried their Pineapple Express cocktail, very tasty. Our server Jake was so attentive to us and our toddler. Overall really cool place with good drinks and great food. Hope to come back for happy hour!
LOVE this spot! Service is always great, the DJ is always a good vibe on the weekend, and the games are so much fun. You can take out a board game or use quarters to play the arcade games which is so much fun! Late night they do Adult Happy Meals which are always delicious and hit the spot.
I don't usually write reviews but Standard Rec went over and beyond for us this Easter. The food was great and reasonably priced but the staff made it special. My daughter likes to walk around and this place was set up for her perfectly. Staff never rushed us as we looked for Easter eggs and played the arcade in between ordering. They were always on top of anything we needed. The Easter bunny made my daughters week. She can't stop talking about it and didn't want to leave. It was a perfect start to our Easter and a core memory for my wife and me. Thank you all for the great service
Standard Rec is my absolute favorite spot for happy hour. I can't get enough of the animal fries and General Tso’s cauliflower, and my go-to drink, the blueberry mule, which they've recently switched to a delightful strawberry mule. The ambiance is everything—great music, fun games, and exceptional service. I recently tried the smash burger, and if you ever crave the taste of an In-N-Out burger, this is the place to be! It's incredibly tasty!
2nd time here. Love the games they have to play, like speedball, Pac-Man, board games, card games etc. They have a great happy hour selection at the bar. Live music. Great time to spend with friends. My drink 🍸 was good, shared an appetizer and my roasted veggie tacos 🌮 were yummy.it
So tonight for dinner we went to a place that we had never been to. In the heart of Patchogue we went to a restaurant called standard Rec. It's a restaurant with a very nice bar and a really great vibe. They have video games and bar games spread out throughout the entire place and it was just a really cool place to hang out. We ordered two appetizers. The first was a giant pretzel. It came with mustard and melted cheese sauce. The pretzel was piping hot and I really liked it. We also ordered a thing of nachos which were regular nacho chips and plantain chips mixed together. There was plenty of chicken and it was all fresh white meat. Kenny of course had an order of wings. He said the wings were good and had a decent amount of heat. He liked the buffalo sauce so much he asked for a side for his french fries. My daughter had a regular cheeseburger which is two patties with cheese lettuce tomato. It came with a side of fries. She enjoyed it. My wife had the lettuce wraps under the appetizers for her main meal. They were very good. The only negative is she ask for no scallions and they sprinkled scallions on top. they're easy enough to pick off so it wasn't that big of a deal and the waitress apologized profusely. I ordered a burger that had a fried round of mozzarella cheese in the middle of two burgers and their special sauce. It had a great flavor and was very messy to eat I really enjoyed the. For dessert we ordered a dessert that consisted of vanilla gelato two stuffed churros and candied pumpkin seeds. Thank you for the recommendation Meghan.. we had a blast.
We recently had dinner here because its conveniently located near the Patchogue Theater. Upon entering the restaurant I felt the lack of ambiance. Too open and warehouse-ish! but you can tell thats the desired affect they're looking to establish. The menu was limited to an upscale burger type place, which is what I ordered. Great tasting smash burger, cooked the way I ordered. The young man serving was respectful and catered to all our needs and always asking if we needed anything else. The pricing i thought was to the high side($19) for my burger, but I have to get used to todays pricing of everything being pricey! Enjoy!
The place is ok. Nothing worth remembering other than the price. Yes things cost more but service was just slow. Place is clean and welcoming. But for the area with a lot of competition it's easy to pass on coming here.
Arrived on a Wednesday at 630. Seated immediately. 10 minutes before anyone came over, 20 minutes after that still no first drinks. Can’t comment on food as we never even got there.
I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the unacceptable service I received during my recent visit on 08/27 My party and I waited an excessive amount of time for our meals, only to watch multiple tables who arrived well after us be served and finish eating before we were even acknowledged. The restaurant was no where near busy. This is not only unprofessional but also completely disrespectful to paying customers. As someone who works in the customer service industry as a bartender, I understand how important it is to treat every guest fairly and provide timely service. What I experienced at your restaurant fell far below the most basic standards of hospitality. Not only was the bartender disrespectful to my party and I by laughing at us when our food never came out. The manager on duty was extremely rude and disrespectful towards us as well.
Dined at Standard Rec with my family and left with mixed feelings. The atmosphere is undeniably cool, with a vibrant and welcoming vibe. However, the food and service fell short of expectations. My kids ordered the birria ramen, which had a proper beef broth base, but the flavor was lackluster. The eggs were well-executed, and the beef was tender with perfect flaking, but the dish overall was underwhelming. My wife’s General Tso’s chicken was disappointing—overly fried and lacking the balance you’d expect from this classic dish. My Korean steak bowl had fresh, tasty ingredients, but the steak itself was overcooked and chewy, detracting from the experience. While the meal was a solid three-star effort, the decision to charge for a fountain soda refill felt petty and left a sour taste. Unfortunately, this tipped the scales to a one-star rating. With some refinement in the kitchen and better service choices, Standard Rec could elevate the experience to match its great ambiance.
