Sapsuckers in Huntington: Breaking the spell

There’s this friend of mine with whom I have the worst restaurant luck. North Shore or South Shore, Suffolk or Nassau, Italian or Japanese — we never seem to have a good meal. Last night I took her to Sapsuckers in Huntington, and I’m happy to report that the spell — or at least the streak — is broken.
My burger ($15) and fries could not have been improved upon. My pal had a special, a tender, savory lamb meatloaf served with a mountain of mashed potatoes.
I can’t handle a lot of beer; my friend even less. So our waitress thoughtfully split our pint of wheat beer into two stemmed glasses.
Sapsuckers Hops & Grub is at 287 Main St., Huntington, 631-683-4945.
