EGP Oceanside
“For appetizer we always order the pretzel (the twist) and the Philly Cheesesteak eggrolls.”
“The food is awesome and they have a greenhouse where I believe they will be growing some of the stuff they serve on site.”
“They also brought out a basket with all of their house made dips which included, Bacon Ranch (my fav), Maple Aioli and Sun Dried Tomato Aioli.”

EAT GASTROPUB has been bookmarked from me for a while now and I was excited to finally get a chance to come here but idk if the hype was built up or I just wasn't impressed..
When you walk in the bar is right there. If you keep walking they have a semi-large dining area for people looking for that restaurant experience. Upon arrival I was looking for a hostess but a guy jumped up from the bar table and told us to walk to the back.
We were seated and given menus to look over. I decided to try a couple of appetizers so I can get a range of items I was interested in. They are very pricey because I ordered the EGP platter and it was $28 and only had a pretzel, cheesesteak egg rolls and buffalo chicken egg rolls. The egg rolls were obviously cut in half so you're really getting two each on a huge plate with cute presentation to make it seem like you're getting a lot. Such a rip off.
I also ordered the buffaque wings which are self explanatory– a mix of buffalo and barbecue sauce. These I liked. They were crisp and covered in the right amount of sauce.
We also ordered the lobster Mac & that I could've lived without. Not enough lobster and I wasn't a fan of the cheeses used. Waste of $14.
Everything on the kids menu is $10 but I'll say that it might be worth it. Upon ordering I was upset with the price because kids menu items are never usually priced at $10 but the burger came at it was very large. I shared it with my daughter and it was really good. Pretzel bun and you could tell that it was fresh and homemade and I loved that. I liked the fries too because they were crispy but not too crunchy and fresh as well.
The service was subpar. The waitress was a nice girl but I was seated next to a table where the waitresses kept coming to to hang out or eat their lunch and I didn't like the fact that all I could hear while trying to enjoy my meal was them talking so loudly. They didn't seem to be paying attention to their tables and I just am not a fan of that.
I'm iffy about returning. I had an ok experience. I might come back to try other items on the menu but then again I might not. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't what I was expecting either. Damn me for having high expectations!
The food here was great. It was a fun place. I went here during the summer and sat outside. I had a hamburger and it was great. It was a little pricey but it is after all a gastropub.
Went here for dinner. The decor is very cute–dark mint metal chairs with tables, chalk writing on the wall–things that I love but perhaps a little trendy for my parents' tastes. I was a little nervous at first, but we had a delicious dinner here and had a great time.
First, the drinks: Great beer menu and I was so happy they had Bell's on tap!
I ordered the crab and salmon burger, which was incredible. My dad doesn't even like salmon and he said he would order it! The bun held up to the burger and the fries with various aiolis were addictive. My parents loved their entrees as well (snapper and pot roast). The sriracha and honey cauliflower with my mom's pot roast was so delicious and we all sat analyzing how we might replicate this at home. (We concluded we'd just leave it to the experts.)
The highlight was the after-dinner iced coffee with Bailey's and Jameson–absolutely delicious.
We loved all the little details–milk for the coffee came out in little old-school glass milk bottles, sugar was in cute little metal tins, fries came in cones in a basket. My mom's "pot roast TV dinner" even came out in a metal TV dinner dish!
Looking forward to going back soon!
THE PHILLYCHEESESTEAK EGGROLLS THOUGH..

Their craft selection is decent. They offered many local Long Island brews, which is good for local business and fosters the island camaraderie. The online menu is outdated, they didn't have half the things there on tap. Variation wise, it seemed to lean more Stouts and Pale Ale's. Very few IPAs; a Tripel on the menu would have been nice. I enjoyed seeing my Ballast Sculpin there, in Pineapple and Grapefruit flankers, and I got to try a very nice Goose Island Sofie (Saison) – reminded me of a soft, floral white wine.
STEAK EGGROLLS
-Wow. I was floored. These were AMAZING. The crunch is supreme, and it is fried to a CRISP. The cheese is perfectly melted and the steak is moist/ The Buffalo Chicken ones are good too and they give you a ranch dressing to dip it in, but I preferred these Phillycheesesteak ones.
PRETZEL
-Be prepared for an ENORMOUS pretzel. Goes well with wheat/Belgian brews
BURGER
-50/50: I was very excited to try this 50/50 Burger (half bacon Half beef). I did not like it. It was VERY SALTY and it had a very weird texture. This burger is a love it or hate it.
-Gastropub: This is more my preference. Good beef, caramelized onions, Simple.
Parlay Gastropub in Rockville Centre (right up the block – north) has tough competition.

It's like walking into Narnia only better.
The décor is awesome. They have seating for all moods: indoor, outdoor and an open "sun room" with plenty of shade. We sat in the latter and admired the beautifully landscaped patio. The drink list is awesome and the bartenders know what they are doing. I ordered the Southside which consists of gin, lemon juice, sugar cane and mint.
I also got the chips and assorted dips.. or diyps as I like to call them. The entire spread was fantastic, the guac was my favorite and the chip strips they use were crunchy and fresh. I was eyeing my friends bunless burger with envy though… next time.
Friendly service, clean establishment, can't wait to come back.
I liked this restaurant overall. Great atmosphere, creative food, and good beer. Almost everything that I tried was good, but nothing was amazing. Lobster tacos were good. The big pretzel was good. The cheesesteak egg rolls were very good. I had the salmon/crab burger, it needed some texture. Some crunch on the burger would have really stepped it up a notch. My wife had the lobster mac & cheese, it was just ok. It was my least favorite of everything ordered. The texture of the cheese was gritty, not smooth and creamy as I would have preferred it.
Service was good, but our waitress made an error when explaining one of the entrees at our table. She said that the chicken entree was part on the bone and the breast was off the bone. The entire thing was on the bone. On the bone is fine by me, but not by the person who ordered it. If it was explained correctly something else would have been ordered.
All in all its a good place. We will most likely return.
Back again for round two at EGP, and what can I say? I'm still blown away by this place.
After going with my sis and buddy the first time, I took my girlfriend here (she was dying to try the edamame hummus) for a belated birthday dinner this past Monday night. What was great about coming this time was having the opportunity to sit outside. EGP has a large outdoor area with some building shade spots as well as umbrella tables on more of a patio surface. That's where we dined, and oh did we dine.
To begin, I grabbed a drink from their awesome craft beer menu (El Sully) and she had a cider (McKenzie's). We then went with the chips n dip which was better the second time around as there were a mixture of chips (what looked like a sweet potato addition) and an inclusion (RIP blue cheese) of a new dip: creamy corn salsa, which was amazing (this coming from two people not big on the yellow plant). The other three dips did what they're meant to do and rounded out this awesome app. Main meal was the crispy chicken sandwich for her (she loved it) and the eat burger for yours truly. It was delicious in juicy, meaty flavor and though rich via bacon jam and cheese fondue, the accompaniment of creamy coleslaw and tangy pickles broke up the palate nicely (the fries rocked my socks as well). Service was spot on which brought the meal together wonderfully.
Overall, Eat Gastropub brought some new facets into an eating experience I was already impressed with and I'm about to head off to bed, ready to dream about my next meal here.
In need of a great Happy Hour and looking up on beer menus that Goose Island Sofie, a beer that my partner in crime for the evening (Steph M) tried elsewhere and really enjoyed, we decided to check out Eat Gastropub!
We arrived early – Steph earlier than me who was already half way through a beautiful golden straw colored Sofie, we take up space at the bar close to the dining room. I was surprised the space is larger than I imagined. Ample parking in back. The happy hour specials were a good deal and since they have many great craft beers on tap so I decide on a half price flight.
The food choices for happy hour are somewhat limited but has some good items that you probably want to drink with a good craft brew. We get an order of some outrageous Buffacue wings and although I am not a huge wing fan these were excellent versions, with plenty of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, a crispy coating with tender chicken inside along with perfect blue cheese dipping sauce. I truly enjoyed these. I also suggest ordering a large pretzel, which was good for soaking up all that beer we were drinking. We ate this too slow and the salt absorbed moisture in the air and made our pretzel a bit wet – still tasted good though.
It was a great happy hour – the place wasn't too packed on a Tuesday so it allowed for us to have a nice leisurely conversation and to relax for a while.
After reading the menu I laughed a bit about the writing under the menu "Health and nutrition are of extreme importance!" – I doubt anyone would find the majority of the items here particularly healthy, but I can attest that they pump out quality tasty food, but damn, those delicious beers tho…
