Court House Eatery was born from a simple conviction: a great meal and a well-crafted drink shouldn’t require a trip into the city. Nestled on Jackson Street in the heart of Hempstead, we’ve built a space where the ritual of eating and drinking is treated with the same seriousness as the ingredients that go into it.

Our kitchen sources locally whenever possible, our bar program rotates with the seasons, and our floor team remembers your name after the second visit. This isn’t a place you pass through. It’s a place you come back to.

Everything you need,
nothing you don’t.

Three pillars define what happens inside our doors. Everything else is details.

Café Culture

Start your morning right with single-origin pour-overs, house-made pastries, and a breakfast menu that actually earns its place on the plate. No rush. No noise. Just good coffee and better company.

Bar Program

Our cocktails are built, not shaken into submission. Seasonal spirits, house-infused bitters, and a wine list curated by someone who actually cares—not just someone who likes the label.

Private Events

From birthday dinners to boardroom gatherings, our private dining space accommodates intimate celebrations with the same attention to detail as our regular service. Let us handle the logistics.

We let the guests
do the talking.

Real words from people who choose us for their regular nights out.

I’ve brought clients here three times now, and every single time the food and service have been impeccable. It’s become my default recommendation for anyone hosting dinner in Hempstead.

Hempstead local

The Hempstead Sour is genuinely one of the best cocktails I’ve had on Long Island. The atmosphere is sophisticated without being stiff. I come here on my Sundays.

We hosted our anniversary dinner in the private room and the whole evening was seamless—from the custom menu to the last round of drinks. They treated us like family.
