James Joyce

Great place to enjoy a cozy dinner. Food, service and atmosphere was delicious, friendly and warm..
At night fun place for friends and family gatherings. Always have a wonderful time. One of my favorite places.

My wife and I popped in yesterday expecting just to have a couple of soft drinks but our server Nick told us about the fantastic happy hour deals. We couldn't resist getting the jumbo pretzel and mozzarella sticks for an insanely good price! The food was fantastic and Nick was a great guy, very attentive and had good banter with us. We'll definitely be back!

This place is ok for dinner - just okay. We went on Saturday with a 7:00pm reservation for 6 people, not packed or busy. Music was too loud to have a conversation so we spent the entire time saying "what?" to each other. Ordered 2 kids meals of chicken fingers which were listed as $12 including side, drink and dessert. We were charged $13 each at the end of the night, and were charged for $3 each for the kids drinks. And they were the rubber hockey puck chicken fingers that even kids don't really like. Fries were basic and didn't even have salt on them. The adults at the table has steak, IPA crispy chicken, and Mac & Cheese. Steak was good. Chicken was bland - like zero flavor, not bad, just boring. Brussel sprouts - same, bland and boring. Mac and Cheese we asked for no bread crumbs, came with bread crumbs. Bacon in mac and cheese was rubbery and undercooked. Mashed potatoes were real mashed potatoes, just minus any seasoning at all - like potatoes, butter, milk, done. The waiter was very nice, but it was kind of slow service as we were there for almost 2 hours, which is only a concern because you have to pay to park in Patchogue, so you are playing beat the meter. Overall - bland food, slower service, check your bill before paying to ensure you are not getting overcharged. Not terrible, just not great or stand out.

Great place went there after a wedding with our crew. Lots of fun service over the top

Take your business somewhere else. Dress code is lunacy. You can be dressed presentable and still not let in. I’ve had less dress code rules from major nightclubs in Manhattan. Place is not worthy of a dress code, if you have been inside you know. Not to mention the rules don’t make sense. Bouncers get off on being discriminatory and it’s a power trip for them. Plenty of other awesome bars in the area who don’t do this. I advise to take your business somewhere else. I went to James Joyce once a few years ago had an awesome time, but after experiencing that, I will never go back. Stay away!

It was a quiet sunday, just what we were looking for. The food was delicious, and the service was fast and friendly.

Love the layout and atmosphere. I really liked the high backed bench seating, Just makes the meal feel alot more private. Food was top notch. The beer cheese and gigantic pretzel were excellent. It's probably the freshest calamari I have ever had. The joyce burger was juicy flavorful and the toppings were overflowing . Drinks were poured nice ans strong. Our server Stephanie was attentive and gave great recommendations. excellent service all around

I went here just for dessert and ordered the warm apple cobbler with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. But, this place is huge, great place to eat and I will plan on going back for lunch or dinner. There is on street parking and a town parking lot close. Bathrooms are very clean. The staff are very professional and friendly.
