It was 1 of our favorite spots.S/O to the waiters, kitchen staff, Bar staff, and managment. Billy, was our waiter topnotch service.God Bless“
“Great experience. We have a ladies night out once a month, and enjoy coming here. The food is delicious. We are 8 ladies and order everything from French Toast to Turkey Dinner, and the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. We always have a great time when we're here.“
“Food was delicious. We had 2 eggs over easy, Croissant French Toast with strawberries and almonds and corned beef hash. Coffee very good, great service. 20 minute wait very worth it. Good texting system for putting your name in. Parking is tight, we parked across the “
“I came here with my daughter, had one of the best eggs Benedicts ever! Had an amazing waitress and wonderful staff, can't wait to return and try the rest of their menu.I've been to tons of diners, this one left me with a strong impression.“
“Fantastic service. Beautiful French toast with grilled ham along with an egg white omelet with mushrooms spinach and ham delicious and let's not forget the Delicious Bloody Mary made by Sara .. great service and we were passing through and because of Yelp and its reviews we went .. enjoy !!!“
“We had a good breakfast time today and finally got a lox omelet. It was the first time I tried salmon for breakfast, and I liked it. My wife had a vegetable omelet with mushrooms and egg whites, and that was good as well. Very friendly service and nice atmosphere lots of decorations for Saint Patrick's day. Everything was green, like in a forest. Thank you, guys!Vegetarian options: Mushrooms omelet was good.“
“Just went for the first time in December, but I've been there 3 times since. Easily my new favorite diner the food is really good and the service is great as well. According to my 6 year old son, it's a 5 star restaurant because he loves the bacon! I do agree, though it's a very nice little diner. Excellent burgers and French toast, fresh black and white cookies for dessert and great milkshakes!“
“Before or after dance class in the morning or early afternoon, the Farmingdale Diner is our 'go to' spot for great food and friendly service! The staff and the owners are amazing. Try their freshly squeezed OJ it is a lovely addition to almost any breakfast.“
“Been doing food to stomach deposits since I was a child at this great and wonderful establishment ... Pete's is family and actually knows my family... Keep up the amazing work ? with that smiling staff and keep shining on em ?? ... Passing gradeWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheel chair accessible“
“Excellent service however to the owners please put a lock on the ladies bathroom as it is only meant for one lady to use at a time. The bathroom stall has a big opening where if anyone enters into the bathroom you are exposed. Your every private part and what you are wiping is exposed. Unacceptable. Do something about this. The woman who work there why haven’t you complained! I see you use it also?“
“For a Long Island diner, it lived up to its expectations. Chef was able to make do with all of my adjustments/substitutions, for example changing an omelette to an egg white omelette. Food came out rather quick. Service was attentive. Very welcoming wait staff as well.“
“Still good- but a much different experience during peak times. A bit of a chaotic rush inside and a long wait to be seated, but this is expected at 10 am on a Sunday...and a pretty good sign of how the food is. We have eaten here on a Saturday at 9am and the atmosphere was more relaxed and we received more attention. The food is pretty impressive either way. Good quality ingredients are prepared with care here. Don't start with me on how good the challah French toast was. And the home fries met every expectation I ever had for potatoes!We are quickly becoming regulars...during non-peak times, that is!“
“I had the pleasure of visiting this diner and was delighted to be greeted warmly upon my arrival. The ambiance was inviting and cheerful, creating a sense of familiarity. The coffee was exceptional, which is uncommon. I typically do not have two cups, but I made an exception here. I ordered the cornbread hash and was thoroughly pleased with its remarkable flavor. My husband had the challah french toast and thoroughly enjoyed it, finishing it entirely. We are eagerly looking forward to our next visit very soon! This diner is so worth it!“
“I live in Brooklyn, NY. However, periodically I will drive 55 minutes just to eat at Nautilus Diner. The food is always delicious, and the service is great. The apple crumb cheesecake is an absolute must. I always feel right at home whenever I'm there.“
“This place was SO good I am writing this review in the car right after having bfast. Unexpected surprise but so worth it. We had avocado toast, shrimp and grits, and corned beef hash all was extremely delicious…down to my hot chocolate. We will definitely be coming back to this place. Easily one of the BEST diner breakfast’s we’ve ever had! With IMPECCABLE service from waitress Nicole, give her a raise because she adds spark to this place.“
“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“
“The food was great. I was craving lox but i was also craving eggs and home fries…. so i got both! It really just hit the spot!! The homefries were a little bland- but nothing a little salt and BUTTER can’t fix! I actually preferred this over the overly greasy, salty, and mushy homefries you get at most other places so i can’t complain much. Eggs were perfectly cooked, sausage was scrumptious, the lox and veggies were SO SO FRESH, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was great! (bonus points for free wifi)The waitress was phenomenal. She truly made our experience. Bubbly, kind, warm, inviting.. a one of a kind server! I didn’t catch her name, but a mature lady with long blonde hair, glasses, and the sweetest accent you ever heard! I truly think she is an absolute gem. All servers should be like her- a true example of hospitality and grace!“
“Had a nice breakfast recently at Mineola Diner.A very cozy diner with friendly staff, inviting service, and a bit of old-time Diner feel.I must mention something important, at least to me, the cost of meals at Mineola Diner are more efficient than other area diners. With the cost of even Diner meals going up, this establishment can offer the same fare as other places but for less. I hope this doesn't change.Parking can be tricky, and there may be a wait. But patrons get turned over fast enough.“
“One of my favorite diners on LI and the best in Plainview. Never have been disappointed with any order. Omelettes, paninis, and burgers have all been amazing and are a good portion size. The waiters and staff are always very friendly and welcoming.“
“Nice place that looks like an ice cream soda place. Good food. Friendly service. Nice to go here for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Closes at 2pm.Vegetarian options: All the breakfast food- eggs, pancakes, waffles, omelets, bagels, fruitParking: Parking in front - Quarter timed parking meters on Hempstead Avenue in front or park on the street Acorn Road by houses. There are some meters and some free residential parking in front of houses.Free Parking Lot across the street down by the movie theater.Kid-friendliness: The place is colorful. It has ice cream soda chairs inside and tables are outside. Nicely decorated. They have ice cream here and they sell candy there by their mini gift shop area. ?“
“It seems that I have repeatedly been prompted to review Majestic Diner, of which there are seemingly two on Long Island. That said, I must start out with a slogan with 5 words. "LAWN GILAND" DINER FEATURING ABBONDANZA There is a silver lining in some clouds and this was the silver lining on an overnight stay in this area using points for lodging. When you leave one of the 2 NYC airports in Queens and board the LIRR to stay this far out, the hassle and work involved might outweigh the savings. (I learned that the Northern New Jersey lodging options make more sense, since you can use NJ Transit at very reasonable prices and it will put you right into Port Authority in Manhattan.) At any rate, I looked at my phone for diner food and Majestic Diner came up. With its metallic exterior and photos of bodacious and abundant food, I was interested. It was about a mile to get there, which I did on foot, complete with an umbrella, and it's on a major boulevard that has all the malls and big box shopping. Once inside, it's decked out as an old school diner, and perhaps even nicer than most adhering to this theme. There are many booths and, because of the big windows and good lighting, it's bright inside, which is what I prefer. I asked for a booth adjacent to a window so I could savor "Lawn Giland" street life. I saw the portions going to customers after sitting down ... and after seeing the menu board specials. These are not $15 packaged deals, given that this is a more expensive area and, well, not Buffalo. However, it's a good value and, coming in at mid-afternoon, the meal served as lunch and dinner. The meal consisted of chicken breasts in a tasty sauce atop a bed of pasta, a salad, cole slaw with a pickle spear, bread, a large slice of chocolate cheesecake, and refillable coffee. Everything on that list fetches at least 4 stars. Also, the ingredients were very fresh and I especially noticed this with the salad. I would have liked to have given the chocolate cheesecake 5 stars, but that is reserved for the now gone Concord Diner in Valley Stream, also on Long Island, where the chocolate was drizzled in to look marbled and which I ate during a lot of rumbling, which, as a Californian, made me think of an earthquake when it was just the LIRR going by. That was the best cheesecake I've eaten to date. The service at Majestic Diner was friendly and attentive. Could it be that taking photos tends to ratchet up the level of service? I ponder this every now and then. The patrons were also friendly. As I took photos, these two ladies from Brooklyn, but native to Poland, began conversing with me from their adjacent table, which was also pleasant. This also makes me ponder if I have a sign saying "foreigners, talk to me," since my friends observe this dynamic and state that it rarely happens to them! Continuing with the armchair sociology, many people have a knee jerk reaction to dislike and distrust anything related to the tri-state New York area. What I notice is that people in this area have routinely been more animated and more friendly to me than anyone in, say, Chicagoland or other Midwestern metropolitan areas has ever been and which is the inverse of the stereotypes. With the food being abundant, I was glad that I walked a mile to and from Majestic Diner. Not only that, I got to size up Long Island better and, for the most part, was amazed that many of the major streets are as large, or larger, than those in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. It's time to wrap this up. So, here is what we have: 1) tasty food, 2) plenty of it, 3) wait staff that is amicable, 4) potential value - depending on what and how you order, and 5) an elaborate and nicely put together old school diner that I found appealing both inside and out. Go in with an empty stomach!“
“I ordered something pretty basic on the menu which was the "Cheeseburger Deluxe" medium temperature, and you know something it was absofreakinlutly delicious cooked to perfection Char-Broil flavor the lettuce and tomato and the onion ring and the pickle all fresh... The coleslaw was extremely disappointing very bland they use white cabbage which had no flavor whatsoever...I make coleslaw for a living and I use green cabbage always... I will go there again and again to go get a wonderful meal..?“
“We absolutely love the food here. One of the best diner foods you can get. Their seafood is amazing. Their specialty meals come with a soup, salad, two sides, a main course and a dessert usually all for under $35. You can't beat that price and quality of food. They also very fast with pick-up orders. The staff is also supper friendly. Highly recommend“
“I dropped off a dozen roses for my friend and made me laugh. The things she said made me laugh and other things too I got the best breakfast special when they saw me with my arm bandage from the lab across the street for the regular blood work for diabetes“
“Place was empty. The lady and the manager was too nice. I felt like I have always been coming to this spot for years. I can't speak for rhe other reviews but I am very pleased at the service and the food. Need a little seasoning but ok for a quick bite.“
“Prototypical diner. Went during the dead doldrums of a late August weekday morning. Had steak and eggs and companion had eggs and toast. The steak was noteworthy and cooked perfectly. My eggs were those perfectly mixed diner slabs. The place was nearly deserted, so the service was doting. Can't speak to what it would be like during peak hours.I was a bit hot because they weren't running AC, but I tend to run a bit hot anyway.Diners tend to be a dime a dozen, and it's a maddening waste of calories when their bog standard fare doesn't live up to the basic expectations we assign to them.By that standard, Golden Coach, in passing the minimum bar of steak and egg quality and having excellent service in an otherwise vacant restaurant, did not disappoint.Given all my extenuating circumstances and uninteresting order, though, I'd read other reviews before making your call.“
“Our server was the hardest working server we've ever met! The food was fantastic. The host/manager/owner was very friendly and great with the kids. If you're in town, definitely come here!! I've never felt the need to post a review on Google until today.“
“Est. 1988Layout/atmosphere*Greek-owned; chrome exterior; cashier/bar by entrance; counter straight back; booths with music (CD) players; couple of TVs; parking lot in backService*QuickFood/drink*Spinach & Feta Omelette (home fries, toast) - good*French toast (challah, two pieces) - good“
“Usually the food is pretty good here. The eggs Benedict for breakfast are very good as are the shell steaks for dinner. I was disappointed when I ordered a Ceasar Salad to go. When I opened it there was no cheese. Just a bunch of lettuce and croutons, Not a true Caesar Salad but it was fresh. So many other things to try. Will definitely go back.“
“Had my breakfast at the Lighthouse this morning. Just simple eggs, homefries, toast and coffee. You would think "how could a diner mess it up" but it happens all the time at other places I have been to. Never at this place seems like they always get it right. Just a really great diner.“
“Half price Apps after 9PM. Great value. Love the wings. They are not breaded. The wings and service are always on point. The staff is great.Update: same as always. My favorite server's son is now working there as well. A family affair.“
“It tastes of nostalgia and bad coffee...Upon entering the Golden Reef just the other night i realized just how long its been since i had last been here.Many of us have spent many late nights/early mornings here due to lack of choice at 4AM, and the bars closing down. But my old @$$ went at a more "reasonable" 9 o'clock this night. My fiance ordered a bunch of breakfast foods while i just ordered a few sides.Do NOT underestimate their huge plate of fries with melted mozzarella and side of brown gravy. I add some bacon (which is cooked to perfection) to it and reminisce of simpler times.Kid-friendliness: Golden Reef is an all around "people friendly" place.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ramp and wide double doors upon entry“
“What a Great day..this Restaurant Diner was a great find, drove by several times, But on this Day it was perfect food the Customer service was beyond exceptional warm and cozy on a chilly day. Lots of locals lots of tables, booths dining counter as well. Huge selection for Breakfast, Brunch/ Lunches or Dinner.“
