Flo's Famous Luncheonette
Bluepoint, Long Island
Flo's Famous Luncheonette is a nice little throw-back to the days when roadside snack shacks were as common as 7-11's are today.
You know I'm a sucker for all things nostalgic. With a pea stone parking lot, slapdash lean-to construction, and a beach right down the block, the nostalgia at this Long Island restaurant runs as thick as their shakes.
The food is pretty good here and there are a number of menu specialties unique to Flo's, but ask anyone why they come here and that's when things get interesting. Flo's Famous Luncheonette has been a summertime favorite since 1926. People come here because they love the place and the undefinable feeling it gives them.
Place your order here, in the front of the building
For those who have been coming here all they're life, it's tradition and childhood memories. For others, like me, it's the smells, sights and sounds of summer--something I never get tired of.
On the menu you'll find a nice assortment of deep fried seafood, burgers, hot dogs, wraps, salads, sandwiches and sides. The desert menu offers floats, smoothies, sundaes, Italian ices, and frozen candy bars, all at very reasonable prices.
Pick up your food here when they call your name
Place your order under the big Flo's Famous Luncheonette sign, find a seat at one of the picnic tables and wait for them to call your name. The burgers, served on grilled potato bread are always good, but I almost always order something from the sea.
Last time I was there I had the fried clams and my 18 year old daughter had the grilled chicken caesar wrap. The clams were thickly coated, very crunchy Ipswich style clam strips. They were just a tad overcooked, but still tender and juicy enough to enjoy.
The wrap was very good, stuffed beyond expectation, and the chicken inside was not overcooked. My daughter is a hearty eater and she couldn't finish it.

Right down the block from Flo's is the popular Corey Beach. Give Flo's a call they'll deliver your food to the beach by bicycle.
Flo's is open from 10am to 10pm (weather permitting) daily between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Table cloths are a nice touch and umbrellas make the sun somewhat more bearable
