Cycled 40 miles from south shore Long Island. Got here 9 am and not much options in the area.Spoke to a local jogger and he recommended City Island Diner for its food & comfort. I’m glad I took his advice.Walked in and was politely greeted to an old school diner with counter top seats. I got the front row bar stool facing the cook.Watching the orders come in and the cook dishing out his magic. It’s akin to watching a conductor at a symphony.Close your eyes and listen closely to the eggs cracking and being scrambled. You can smell the home fries with peppers & onions. Hear the sizzling of the bacon.My pastrami omelette arrived in a big way. Fantastic flavor & portion. ??Really enjoyed the meal and especially the hospitality. Loved the venue ??

Has the first time patron I was pleasantly surprised by the speedy attention and delicious food served in this little diner on City island. The pancakes I ordered with sausage were fluffy and tasty. Depression of his quest hiding that many times and had ordered a full breakfast with an omelette juice and coffee. The service was quick, the staff friendly in this little Diner hidden away. If you are ever on the island drop in, you'll be glad you did.

A throw back to a different time! Fresh food, homey atmosphere- feels like being on vacation. Makes me remember my best family beach vacation breakfasts from my childhood.
