We headed down to the South Shore to try Snaps American Bistro in Wantagh. We had the Crispy Chicken Teriyaki Wontons, the Southwest Chipotle Chicken Empanada, Grilled Pork Chop and the Shepard Pie. The Wonton was the best followed up by the chicken empanadas. The shepard’s pie was tasty but too much mashed potato for […]
