Food was incredible. Service was fast and incredibly friendly. I would love to live closer to come here more often! Just be aware there is no kids changing table in the bathroom!

It's a basic diner. Breakfast food was acceptable but nothing to write home about. The waitress was quite busy and never brought a condiment I requested and we had to flag her down for the check despite being finished eating for a good amount of time. They recently renovated and the interior has no diner charm, it's just fairly generic but clean looking.

Was a delicious experience. We went twice in a week and got breakfast and lunch. Both times everything was perfect. Fair prices are a bonus!

I have been here a few times for lunch and it is a great place. It is also popular with locals. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. I ordered the onion soup and it was very tasty.

Very enjoyable diner in a fantastic location. I've been here countless times, and I'm always satisfied. The prices are decent, the service is always good, and the selection of yummy food is vast. My last time here, I got a Monte cristo sandwich. Great size and super tasty. I'll be back again. . .and again, and again.

Terrific, modern looking, accessible diner with plenty of parking. Seated immediately. Friendly service, and all the food must be made fresh because I have never tasted and omelette or home fries that taste like what is served here. Really delicious. Coffee served in smaller cups, which I like because it stays hot that way, and they keep it coming. Very new, modern feel and decor. Reasonably priced, and clean bathrooms. Excellent diner.

Have been coming here, sporadically, for past 20+ years. Servers work hard, but can not keep up with the many tables they are assigned. More servers are definitely needed. As far as food goes, tonight was slightly disappointing. My husband's greek salad had only one grape leaf and five olives. His grilled shrimp were yummy though! The salad I ordered was supposed to come with roasted eggplant and mushrooms... but there were zero mushrooms and a few seeded pieces of eggplant. Moving on...the owner, a kind, older gentleman, tried his best to make us feel valued. He was the go to guy for napkins and more coffee since our server was running her tail in and out of the kitchen. The tables all around us were all looking for him too since she was focusing on one specific table with 8 people. The only time she came to our table was to drop the check, way prematurely. Never asked how our food was, or if we wanted dessert. We will return here, out of loyalty to our neighborhood diner. But...not expecting excellence, or even a good experience.

One of the better diners I’ve been to on Long Island recently. My turkey club sandwich was very tasty, and my friends enjoyed their dishes as well.
