No wonder it has the lowest rating in the area. Got double charged 3000 during a party for amazing food they supply(pretzels, sandwiches, nuggets) , management of this place is horrible, no issues with the workers good luck to them. Do not eat there

I recently visited The St. James in Mineola and had a mixed experience. First off, if you're not a fan of beef or chicken, your options are going to be pretty limited. I was hoping for something different and was disappointed to learn that the shrimp tacos—something I was looking forward to—are no longer on the menu. Speaking of the menu, there’s definitely some inconsistency between what’s listed online and what’s actually available in-house. It seems like they've updated the menu, but the changes haven’t made it to their website yet. That made deciding what to order a bit confusing. I ended up going with a salmon taco, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t for me—I ended up tossing most of it. On a more positive note, the fries were great, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

We stopped in to catch a football game and have a few drinks. Since we were hungry, we figured we’d grab some food — big mistake. I ordered a hamburger platter medium, but what I got was a dry, overcooked, paper-thin patty with hard bacon. The waffle fries tasted stale, like they’d been reheated for the third time. My wife’s Reuben looked promising with all that corned beef, but it was just as dry as my burger. The only highlight of the entire meal? Her onion rings — those were actually good. Everything else was a complete letdown. I don’t usually go for bar food, but at these prices I expected way better. Honestly, this was the worst meal we’ve ever had sad to say. At least the atmosphere was friendly. We should’ve just stuck with beers.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sara Battey · Nov 2024

Not my first time at this place and I’ve ordered several entrees. Overall the service and staff are good. It’s not the quickest, even when we’re the only people there but it’s not terrible either. Everyone is kind and helpful. The food and prices on the other hand aren’t so great. These were the $15 sliders I got. The menu said they should come with pickles which I had to ask for after it was served without. The burger to bun ratio is disappointing to say the least especially for the price. They don’t even come with fries- which is served separately for a whopping $8. For $15 you could at least split a piece of lettuce into 4 and humor the customer. The burger was also unseasoned and dry. They also charge $2 for ice if you want a drink on the rocks. So - it’s now $13 instead of $11 which
