PORTERS on the lane: A New American Culinary Experience in Bellport, NY

Porters was PERFECT! Amazing food. Tasted so wholesome and delicious, like it was cooked with great care and to perfection. Good menu variety both for food and drinks (including an ample wine selection). Wonderful, polite, timely service. Beautiful location, with quaint outdoor seating.

I had a little extra time today, was in the vicinity of Bellport, so what the heck; why not knock off another Burger that was on my Buger Hit List I enjoy Bellport, and have good memories there. I House sat for a friend a few years ago, and fell in love with the Village, and all it's offerings. It has a few restaurants, an Ice Cream store, a brewery, drug store, grocery store, pizza , AND a Theater. If you are a resident you get your own ferry to Fire Island. An unheard of bonus, on Long Island. It feels like you are in an isolated place when you are there. As I drove South on Station Road, off Sunrise, towards the Village, I was getting a slight bit of nostalgia for my former, temporary home, and a huge sense of Angst, wondering if the burger was still as good as it was a few years ago. I ordered the burger my usual Medium Rare, without all that lettuce, tomato, and onion, IE rabbit food. I'm happy to report the burger was fantastic!! It had the brightness, and saltiness, of a true, grilled Sirloin burger, and the structure, feel, and juiciness, of a in-house, hand pressed, burger. The bun to Meat ratio was more than appropriate, as one, didnt overwhelm the other. Toasting the brioche bun added to the buttery taste of the brioche bun. The French Fries did not play second fiddle to the Burger, in any way, shape, or form! It was immediately obvious that they were hand cut, soaked, and rinsed, in house, as the soft interior of the fries burst with that tasty prominent, potatoey flavor. A little on the high side for a burger, $18. Any cheeses, or other additions were $2, $3 extra.. You looking at $20, to $23, if you load it up. The fries come with the burger. I do not begrudge the restaurant for charging what they do... As much as I enjoyed it, and would have no reservations recommending the burger, or the restaurant, it did not break into my mythical Top 5... It is certainty a Top Tier burger, in my eyes, but not Tippy Top. I enjoy blended meats in my Bugers The sevice was efficient. The help was professional, and polite. The restaurant is beautiful, in a rustic way, wood floors, wooden beams. Etc As I was the only one at the bar, for a good portion of my time time there, one would expect good service, and it was. Plenty of parking, as there is a Municipal lot right next door, and a decent amount of street parking. A small caveat, the Village is busy on weekend evenings, and in the Summer, so parking can get a bit scarce. Do NOT break the 30 mile an hour speed limit, you will get a speeding ticket Porters on the Lane, Bellport Village 2/4/2024 Btw...The license plate of the car in front of me in the parking lot, must be a Deli or Bagel Store owner, or a BEC freak, love it

Great local place in Bellport. The owner, John Gianott works hard to maintain consistency of service and food very kindly very warm and writing atmosphere. Stop by if you are in Bellport

Top notch cuisine with a cozy atmosphere. On a recent autumn evening the smaller dining room with the fireplace was perfect. Food was delish. Friends were happy!

Expect to have to scream to hear yourself think, much less communicate with other individuals. To add to the chaos, at least 6 glasses were broken on 3 separate occasions during our dinner. However, I was quite pleased with the lobster roll.

A quaint spot in Bellport Village. The atmosphere is pleasant and it offers a nice bar option, which was very busy and appeared to be a local choice for many. The onion soup is a very good option. The oysters were fresh and tasty. The menu offers several other tempting options as well. The seafood fettuccine Alfredo was delicious, a must try. The staff is friendly and was attentive.

Went in a group of six. Did not know what to expect. My wife and I had the Brie & Arugula Salad, Fried Calamari and the Tuna Niciose. We were surprised how well the meals were. There are some other items on the menu that we definitely what to try. In the future, we will go here around 1pm. The place was very loud at 6:30pm.

The food was very good for the first time there. Our waiter TJ was on top of everything. He was very attentive.We enjoyed all our meals and his suggestions.
