Happy hour deep fried snack from:
Rockwell's in Smithtown, NY
Number of Sticks: 7
Price: $7.95

This is my second time having these and I was very please both times. I usually enjoy a breaded mozzarella stick over battered but these are great! The cheese had lots of flavor, nice and salty and juicy!

Dinner snack from:
Hooters
Number of Sticks: 6
Price: Not sure on this one

I've been here a couple times and every time I order mozzarella sticks. They always hit the spot and are always yummy. Not super crispy or juicy but still good!

Late night bar snack from:
T.J. Finley's in Bay Shore, NY
Number of Sticks: 5
Price: $6.95

 

Some friends and I stopped here the other night to get some food and drinks. We sat outside in their small outside patio to enjoy the night because the inside of the bar was kind of stinky. The mozzarella sticks were good but nothing I haven't seen before ;) Honestly I'm not sure if I'd order them again just because I ordered their mac and cheese which was mind blowing. My advice for here, skip the sticks and go straight for the mac and cheese!

My mom's birthday dinner app from:
Medford Pastaria in Medford, NY
Number of Sticks: 6
Price: $6.95

My mom decided to go here for her birthday and I was very impressed with the place. Very nice with paintings on the wall and some giant fish tanks. This was my first time coming here and enjoyed it. The sticks were good but not overly impressive. Very juicy and they had some crisp to them. The rest of the meal was also very delicious and recommend it to anyone!

Late lunch appetizer from:
Pumpernickel's in Northport, NY
Number of Sticks: 4
Price: $8.95

Pumpernickel's is this great authentic German restaurant that my boyfriend and I love. The waitresses all wear their German outfits and the building itself is old a creaky which adds to the atmosphere.  We try to save our trips here for only once in awhile which seems to make the meals even better. This was the first time we tried their mozzarella sticks and they were great! Homemade sticks that were juicy and crispy, yumm! Don't let the picture fool you either, each one them was actually pretty large!

Delicious dinner app from:
O Sole Mio in Stony Brook, NY
Number of Sticks: 3
Price: $8.50

This was my first time coming here and it was fabulous! We ordered these homemade mozzarella slabs and they were great. Thick cuts of mozzarella with crispy breading and juicy on the inside; at least for the most part. They weren't fully cooked but honestly I looked right past it because they were so great! I'm a big fan of homemade foods especially mozzarella sticks. Not to mention the rest of the food we ordered was wonderful. Definitely going back!

Afternoon app from:
Napper Tandy's in Smithtown, NY
Number of Sticks: 6
Price: $7.50

 

We stopped by this well known bar while walking around during Smithtown day. I have to say the place has been nicely revamped over the past year with now nice outdoor patio seating.

Anyway, honestly not that impressed with the sticks. Nothing out of the ordinary. Could have been crispier and juicier!

Birthday dinner app from:
The Cheesecake Factory
Number of sticks(on in this case triangles): 6
Price: Not sure of the price on this one, around $5.00 or $6.00

These actually had a homemade taste to them, (not sure if they were or not) which was really nice. They also aren't all mozzarella but have a mixture of fontina cheese in them as well. It was yummy having a new flavor of cheese mixed in!

Delivered dinner with a mozzarella app from:
Villa Napoli in Smithtown, NY
Number of sticks: 6 (I believe, couldn't snap a picture fast enough!)
Price: Not sure on the price, no more than $ 7.00 though

These are by far some of the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. They were sooo fresh and delicious because they are handmade. The sticks are also a lot bigger than the average. I definitely recommend these to everyone!!

Afternoon  mozzarella sticks from:
Chili's
Number of sticks: 7
Price: $5.79

These really weren't that good in my opinion. Not that juicy and the spices in the breading tasted a bit off, like they had freezer burn or something. I don't see myself getting these again in the future.

 

Mozzarella sticks and cheeseburgers from:

Foster's Grill in Nesconset, NY

Number of Sticks: 6 but here you can order them by the stick so you can get as many as you want!

Price: 0.75 per stick

 

So here's the deal with this Foster's Grill, you walk in take a paper pad and circle what you want on the menu, give it to a server and pay, then pick a seat and they bring your food over to you. Honestly, for a first timer this was really confusing and kind of seemed unnecassary to do but the food was decently good though. I really enjoyed how the mozzarella sticks come by the stick. They were tasty as well and definitely had some sort of cheese mixed into the breading, possibly some parmesan (super yummy!). I probably would have even given these sticks four stars if it weren't for the fact that they didn't have any marinara sauce! I'm not sure if they ran out or they don't serve it, either way I would have really liked some! In the end though me and my boyfriend agreed we probably won't be going back just on the fact for the confusing service and no sauce!

A tasty happy hour treat from:
Blacksmith Tavern in Smithtown, NY
Number of Sticks: 7
Price: I believe normal price is $7.95 but during happy hour they were half off!

First off I have to say I've never had a bad experience at Blacksmiths. The food is always awesome and there's almost always something going on there, whether it be drink specials or live entertainment.
But anyway to the deep fried cheese--their sticks were AWESOME. Juicy, stringy, crunchy, cheesy. I personally usually don't like the battered sticks versus the bread crumb ones but these were so delicious! I managed to eat all these guys before my boyfriend could have a second stick (probably something not to be proud of, oops). Glad I found another four star treat, yum!

Appetizer from:
Paradise Diner in Hauppauge, NY
Number of Sticks: 6
Price: $7.95

Kind of expensive but you can tell these were somewhat home made. The sticks were pretty thick which was awesome and they were nice and juicy. The cheese lacked in saltyness but the breading was pretty good. I'd describe them as a homemade version of the mozzarella sticks I'd get in Elementary and Middle school. Not bad!

A yummy snack from:
My friends at the Mowl Hole! My friend Melissa cooked these little guys for us to enjoy. I don't really know if they'd be considered "fried" cheese but they are mozzarella sticks no less.
They are the TGI Friday's Frozen Mozzarella Sticks
Number of Sticks: 7
Price: Around $4.99 depending on the store

Even though they aren't that crunchy because they were baked, they always have tons of flavor, especially when you dip them in the sauce it comes with. I would have to say it's probably the best dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks I've had! The sauce has a "tartness" as some would say. Definitely something good to keep in your freezer!

Cocktails and fried cheese from:
Nicky's On The Bay in Bay Shore, NY
The restaurantt mainly serves seafood which I'm not particularly too fond of but I always enjoy coming here to hang out by the water
Number of Sticks: 6
Price: $6.00

Sorry Nicky's but I only give you two stars. The sticks had their crunch but lacked in the juicy department :(

Afternoon lunch app from:
Applebee's
Number of sticks: 9
Price: $6.99

Quite honestly I kind of feel like nothing will ever beat White Castle's Mozzarella sticks (hopefully I will be proven wrong!) but the ones from Applebee's are very good! Nice and crispy on the outside and stringy and juicy on the inside, not to mention their sticks are a good size and you get nine of them, yum!

Before dinner app from:
Charlie Brown's Steakhouse
Number of sticks: 7 (not 6 and a half, someone just couldn't resist taking a bite uh hem)
Price: $7.79

I'm giving these guys two stars mostly because of the high price and not so juicy sticks. ($1.11 per stick? yikes.) I did really enjoy the breading and seasoning on these though. They were nice and crunchy but the inside wasn't hot and juicy at all, as if the sticks were kind of sitting around and cooled off too much. Sorry Charlie Brown's, don't think I'll be getting motz sticks from you again.

Afternoon lunch sticks from:
a deli called Little Haus of Heros in Nesconset, NY
Number of sticks: 6
Price: $4.95

Very tasty but personally I would of liked them with a little more of a crisp but besides that yummy and satisfying :)

A midnight snack from:
White Castle
Number of Sticks: 10
Price: $5.49

So you might be thinking, mozzarella sticks..from White Castle..really?
YES. They are by far the best mozzarella sticks I've had so far. I have also had them multiple times and each time they are just as delicious as the last. Always crunchy on the outside and melty and juicy on the inside. There is no other word to describe these little guys besides AWESOME.

A little app from:
La Casa Resturant in Northport, NY
The restaurant  is located on Crab Meadow beach so you have a beautiful view of the water while you enjoy your food.
Number of sticks: 5
Price: $7.95

They were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside but probably could have been a hair more juicyally delicious and a little more salty, but still very stringy and enjoyable!
