This diner needs to keep longer hours. Closing at 3PM for a diner is a joke and bad for business. Diners want a place they can go to that fits their needs, circumstances and schedules. The drink prices are absurdly high here. Two decaf cappuccinos should not cost $16! Worst yet they weren't that large and tasted terribly. The brownie my friend ordered was hard, old and dry tasting. When I wanted a regular caffinated coffee I was refused service because they told me the restaurant was closing. When I contested the outrageous prices of the decaf cappuccinos on the bill the waitress was not willing to compromise on the price at all. We will never be returning, this is no way to treat the public or run a business!

Joe and Brunie recommend City Island Diner. Stop in 7 am to 3 pm. Brunie had a delicious western omelette and hash browns with a coke. I enjoyed a turkey burger and a big fresh salad with good coffee. Lots of choices on the menu including specials. Really enjoyed walking city island avenue.

We went to celebrate a birthday with small dog in tow. The establishment sat us outside the patio looking over beautiful water view. Provided nice choice of appetizers and several different breads to nosh on. We ordered spaghetti with clams in marinated sauce; this special included soup or salad. The meal was very tasty. These were two huge plates -- could have shared and still feel full. Will happily try this place again. Our waiter has personality and checked to see if food was to our liking--nice touch. The bill for two people very reasonable.

Classic diner with small town feel and better than most diner food. Nice people with good service. Atmosphere is what it should be. I was happy with poor man's Quiche Lorraine (ham & cheese) and side Greek salad. They let you sit and relax.

Its City Island. Whats not to love? Great diner however, I ordered some green peas with my breakfast and they came partially hard and uncooked. Food was okay.
Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere

The best breakfast on City Island, It's like eating in a country diner in New England. Very friendly, great service. It's where all the townies eat.
Kid-friendliness: They allowed the local Girl Scott Troup in to sell their cookies.
