The Main Event

My second time here. I had their sampler which included bbq and buffalo wings, some fried shrimp and calamari. It was just ok their standard bar fare. What really REALLY disappointed me was their Baked "clams". Not only were they not clams, but the seafood filling had imitation crab meat in it. Why even bother to call it baked clams on the menu then? You get the clam, take out the meat and replace it with fake crab meat? I dont get it.

First time trying The Main Event as I am in town for work. Parking lot is very busy even on a Wednesday night. But once you get in seated right away. The place is very nicely decorated for Christmas with Christmas music playing. TV’s everywhere for all the games. Nice sized portions for a decent price. I ordered the grilled chicken with Tennessee sauce over seasoned rice. It came with a side house salad which was very good. If you are in the area and can find a parking spot check it out.

We had an amazing time at The Main Event in Farmingdale this past Saturday for a retirement party with about 50 guests. From start to finish, everything went perfectly! Steve, the manager, was incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure our group had everything we needed. A huge shout-out to Shannon, our server—she was absolutely fantastic!

The food was delicious, the drinks were even better, and the entire staff made us feel welcome and taken care of all evening. It’s not easy to manage a large group, but they pulled it off flawlessly. Highly recommend The Main Event for any celebration or get-together—great people, great service, and great vibes all around!

I may be using too old a reference to have any weight saying it, but imagine the bar from "Cheers" but six times bigger. With wonderful music playing and sports on not one, not two, but MANY television sets so everyone can see the games going on. Food was great, the dessert too. Isabella was a great attendant. I never wanted for anything during the whole experience. Thanks for the meal, The Main Event!

Nice sports bar/restaurant. Parking was a bit challenging but once we got in we were seated. Our waitress must have been new because every question we asked about the dishes we were interested in she had to go back into the kitchen to give us a response. I ordered the seafood francese and the fish fillet, shrimp and scallops were fresh and cooked well. I didn’t care for the francese sauce though, it was butter heavy and lacked flavor, I didn’t taste any white wine or chicken stock in the sauce which is typical of a francese sauce. The sauteed spinach was very good. I gave it a lower rating for service because the waitress didn’t refill my water or come by to ask if we needed anything else. It would be a great place to watch a sporting event and have a drink with appetizers or finger food.
