We visit LI a couple of times a year, and every visit includes time on the North Fork and every day on the North Fork we enjoy the Piping Plover Cafe for breakfast or lunch. We have always had great food, friendly service, and not being in a hurry I can't comment on the speed. We keep returning, eagerly.
It is absolutely not McDonald's; it has character and is an origional. We enjoy the Piping Plover Cafe and the staff who make what we order exactly as ordered.
Our only regret is that they don't have a second store, say in Vancouver. Sigh...
The cafe is basically a deli. At different times, I did have a couple of sandwiches that were all right but the service is atrocious. The burly cashier is very curt and unfriendly. The sandwiches are expensive as well. I was waiting for ten minutes for a turkey club and there was only two other customers and one of them had just received their order. A woman who ordered a sandwich after me received her order before me. I turned to my friend and said, "I don't think I’m going to be able to come here anymore. It takes too long." The cashier overheard and without missing a beat returned my money and said, "I don't like your attitude." When the economy is this bad and with sandwiches that expensive and skin that thin, I do not think this cafe will stay in business much longer.
Known for incredible food and great lunch selections. This is by far one of my favorite places to take clients out to lunch. The food combinations they create are always on point. I have never had a bad meal here. The potatoe chips they make on site and could be the meal in itself. You have to try them! I find the sushi combinations are always tasty and are great fun to share with a group. They also have a catering arm to the establishment. If you are looking for someone to handle a summer wedding or a summer family event, this should be one of the top destinations.
If you are in town and need a great place to eat or are heading out to the beaches or spending a day on the boat, stop in and order an incredible lunch to go for your group.
One trip in and you will also be a raving fan!
