Hits out of the park every time!! A must stop on your way east if on the 495 (take exit 46 much easier). Every day it’s a new menu of specials. You can always close your eyes and point at the menu and went on something delicious!

Stop here when I am out in this neck of woods. LOVE the specials. This visit I got the Shrimp Tacos with all the fixins...Delicious!! Shrimp were large and they did not skimp at all! There were 3 tacos, but I devoured one before I could stop to take a pic! Sooo good! Very friendly place to stop at. Food always a hit!

I stopped by today to say hello to the guys, they may be this unbelievable sandwich, it was over the top. Not only is the food at Ralph‘s great but there’s a reality show going on there. Keep it up guys. Love you.

Upscale food truck stop. Owner is friendly with a couple guys cooking in back. Crowded but served quickly. Good quality food with changing daily specials. I was impressed he had 3 large refrigerators outside with beverages!! Deserts including large fronut (donut). Best truck ever

Ralphies has been here as long as I can remember. The food is always good and cooked fresh. Great portion sizes for your dollar. I try and stop in once a week and sometimes more. Its really easy to jump off the LIE and park. You could eat outside at their tables or in your car.

Ralphie's Crossroads Cafe is one of the favorite "go-to" lunch spots for our office. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose from the menu. Standard menu favorites as well as the daily specials are all outstanding! We've been coming here for years and I have yet to be served a bad meal. It's exciting when a new employee starts working with us and we take them to Ralphie's. Just watch them take their first bite! :) Keep up the great work guys! See you very soon! *Make sure you ask to be added to their daily specials email list!*

This is a GREAT food truck that's permanently parked here. There are three outdoor tables, but the main business is takeaway. On a Thursday we had two of the Thursday specials, Crispy Shrimp Wrap and a Marinated Steak, onion and mozz Hoagie. The flavors were amazing, the portion sizes were huge, and the gentleman at the service window was outstanding. They have a menu of everyday items as well, and we will make it a point to go back when next we take our dog for PT at the very nearby Long Island Veterinary Services. Their canned/bottled drinks selection was great but you MUST try the Joe Tea in whatever flavor you'd like, because it will change your mind about your current bottled tea. We didn't have room for the desserts, but they had a nice array of choices. Next visit!
