When the crabcake sandwich arrived, I wasn't initially very impressed with the way it looked. The crabcake looked kind of overdone like it had spent an extra couple of minutes in the deep fryer and like there was too much bread on the bun for the size patty.
I was pleasantly wrong. The crabcake was actually very moist inside and it was larger than it appeared somehow. It had a very nice fresh slightly spicy fishy taste to it. The French Fries were obviously cut right here fresh. They had a strong potato rather than oil taste and snapped when you bent them. They don't add salt to the fries but a packet comes on your serving tray without asking.
The kaiser roll was actually pretty good. One thing that I still miss about not living in New York anymore is the bread and rolls pretty much everywhere is really good. When you grow up with it, you just take it for granted. After you have been away for 16 years, it is nice to come home again. But, I digress.
The Pit Stop is right on Long Island's Sunrise Highway. It seems like one of the old roadside hamburger stands that appeared after the first automobiles hit the road. A place that people might have driven to just as an excuse to go for a drive outside of the city.
The fact that this place was featured on the Food Network would
be impossible to not know because they have a whole wall dedicated to
Guy's visit here. I would rate The Pit Stop an 8.7. I liked it.
