Mara’s Too is a bright little spot that takes over the Merrick Road location that used to be Long Island Cheeseburgers. The menu is a bit shorter than Syosset’s, and there aren't quite so many Southern and Cajun entrees, but the principle bases are covered: gumbos ($11), po-boys (about $13), fried chicken ($13 for a half bird), burgers ($9 to $12), homemade desserts and barbecued meats smoked on the premises. Catering is available; a liquor license is in the works.
