50 Best Diners near Elmont

“Ilona Lynch Stop 20 Diner is the absolute Best diner! They have the best, fattest anf tastiest burgers, which we had last night. I have been getting great meals from there for years, but last night was the first time I have ordered a burger from there, along with 2 good friends, and the burgers blew us away, along with the fries, being cooked to perfection. We have never had such thick burgers before at any diner ever, and they were so tasty and cooked to perfection. The onion rings were also excellent. A special thank you to the night manager, Manny for your service which went above and beyond! My 2 dear friends who were with me last night when you brought us our burgers also love the Food at Stop 20, and we send much appreciation and respect for your treatment of us, and the high quality of our meals! Ilona Lynch“

“Food is delicious but over priced , spent $37.00 , just for a dinner of Spanish Rice , Short Ribs , Veggies and plantains, No drink it's not even weighed , I think the cashier makes the prices up , right in the spot . Good food but poor Prices.“

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“Always have great service and have never had a bad meal.“

“A cozy family run cafe with welcoming and friendly staff, their food is AMAZING and cooked with so much love! You CANNOT find any other spot that can beat their prices, that’s forsure!! Their breakfast is delicious - their French toast is a must have btw- and their burgers are great as well as the wraps, food is always served hot and quickly. As for delivery, they always exceed expectations because the food is always earlier than the suggested time and the drivers are very kind and friendly! Definitely recommend visiting, you won’t regret it!! They also have the best servers - Cleo and Aly are the absolute BEST ?“

“Good food not excellent service“

“Everything ordered by our party of four was delicious! Good service, atmosphere, and comfortable dining! I would definitely recommend The Pantry! Reservations are also recommended!“

“Ate the Chicken and Waffle Brunch! Yummy! The wait staff kept my coffee cup filled the entire time I was seated at my table. Wonderful diner!“

“Great place, excellent service, my favorite coffee shop for years..!!!“

“Excellent fare and service from extremely friendly staff , had a delicious first diner breakfast in America and it was a winner ! Thank you guys ! 😊“

“I love everything about this place. They deliver to my house when I’m lazy on Sundays and I brought two of my kids there and they’re very picky and they love it. Also, the quality of the food you would think that the prices would be way more than they are. This place is a hidden gem. I don’t understand why it’s not packed all the time.“

“French Toast was very good“

“I came here regularly when the original owner George was in charge. Charming guy who stopped what he was doing to yell Hello to everyone who walked in. The food was regular diner food that he elevated. Huge portions and decent price. He retired or left and people who worked for him took over. I rarely go now. Food is decent but prices went up and portions are smaller. The servers are good and personable. Place seems to always be busy since there are several schools and offices in the area. Still decent but you don't get as much value for your money and no charm and personality from George.“

“Dined here several times, the food was always well cooked and filling, the service was friendly and attentive. The prices are also reasonable. Will be back!“

“This is a small diner. We went there at 4 pm on a Saturday afternoon. It is really cozy inside. I ordered Lemon Soup and a bacon cheeseburger. My friend got Lemon Chicken and Potatoes, Greek style. The portions were very large. The lemon soup was amazing. The lemon chicken was so juicy and flavorful. My Bacon Cheeseburger was really good. The bacon was huge and roll was really perfect. So delicious. Then we ended with cheesecake. It was a great meal and not that expensive. Thanks guys, we had a good time.“

“Amazing food, best i ever tried 🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“Great bagel platter for two!“

“Been many many years ago. Food was excellent.“

“Went here looking for burger and fries, many places to choose from, went here, amazing pick, burger was DELICIOUS, one of the best I’ve had in a while actually, fries were good too. Price was reasonable, would definitely reccomend, if you just want burger and fries“

“you can't go wrong at a diner“

“One of the best diners i know in queens/ nassau county. From the minute you walk in door there is a host. When you sit down cold ice water is served right away. Wait staff is prompt with taking your order and serving you. They check in on you during your meal. The food is fresh, hot and plenty! Worth the amount you pay. The tables are always clean and not sticky. The best part is no one has any attitude everyone who works here is happy and cheerful... Love this place“

“Needs to be updated, need to use real cheese. Especially being the most expensive hole in the wall diner. I don't mind spending $25 for a breakfast plate. Just give me real cheese and thank you for still offering rye bread. Owner remembers everyone by face . Good people“

“Such a cute place, loved the coffee. Highly recommend!!“

“My family and I had the pleasure of dining here on a Saturday afternoon, although we were a large group, the staff gave excellent service. Our main server Angie was very attentive and gave exemplary customer service. The entire experience was great, the food was delicious and the staff is exceptional, I will definitely visit again.“

“We've been passing this place for over 20 years on our trip to New York and never had a chance to stop by... WE MISSED A LOT! We specifically decided on dining at the Omega Diner tonight and the good thing we did! We met there at 7 pm for a family dinner with our son who moved to New York. Kind of a half way between or PA home and his place in NY. The place wasn't very busy. We were sitted right away. The waiter was with us in less than a minute, and in another few minutes we were served our water, seltzer and hot tea. The waiter took our order, advising on what is good and what he would recommend. Great guy! Very friendly, very patient, very customer oriented. My wife got her cream of turkey soup in another few minutes. At that point I added the matzoh ball soup for myself. It was served right away. It looked so good that my son took it from me! I ordered another portion of it and asked to get me an additional bowl to split it. Well, in a few minutes it was served with extra bowl full of additiina steaming broth. This soup tasted very-very good. And the size of that matzoh ball!!! It was of the size of a baseball ⚾️ !!! Yes, and my wife's cream of turkey soup - delicious!!! We did not even want to eat anything else after that but... we already ordered our main meals... Well, everything was served fast and tasted great. My Omega club sandwich (recommended by the waiter) - delicious, Omega appetizers - perfect, deluxe cheeseburger - very nice, baked mix seafood for my wife - tasty and nicely presented, looking very appealing. Obviously, at least half of all this went home with us... We needed room for the sweets. Cappuccino, chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cheesecake - all was great, presentable and delicious! And all this for under $90 (plus tip of course) for the party of four! In today's world this is a pretty good deal! Especially, with such a great service, clean and nicely designed and maintained place and nice portions sizes! We will definitely come back to this place again. They have so many interesting and appealing items on their menu that we want to try...“

“I definitely recommend this diner. The service is amazing, food is great and I love the cozy atmosphere. Owners are very sweet people and welcoming. If you’re looking for a quick bite that’s delicious and a reasonable price then you should stop here!“

“Philip - You have the best chicken noodle soup! It really helped us get through the flu. In fact, all your food is the best. My family really loves your tuna melts & hot turkey dinners. You, your Dad and your staff are THE VERY BEST!!“

“I have there several times. The people and service are absolutely awesome. The interior had been beautifully redone while they were closed. You have to come and enjoy it yourself.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Unassuming but great little diner. The gentleman who we ordered from was very friendly, and the portions were good! We got the breakfast special #2 and an order of french toast. This isn't fine dining or anything but I enjoyed the atmosphere. Made us feel like locals!“

“Been going here for years. Everything is good and reasonably priced. The staff are awesome and the decor is like old school hometown and spotlessly clean. Love it“

“What a very pleasant surprise in an otherwise ugly area! While this Flushing mall has seen better days, Uncle Bill's is a clean and clearly well kept and the decor is not the torn vinyl benches and dirty walla typical of New York diners. The staff were very courteous, friendly, attentive and engaging. The menu is standard breakfast items, but the food was very host, fresh, fast and flavorful! Breakfast came with free coffee... does anyone else do that anymore? And the coffee was actually good, not burnt and bitter! So 2 eggs and protein with hash, toast, and coffee was 13.90 after taxes. Note: 0.55 added if you don't pay cash.

5 out of 5 for Uncle Bill's diner... definitely a star in the midst of Queens urban decay!“

“I love trying new places to eat so this was no different. Ordered scrambled eggs with three meats and toast. The breakfast was excellent and cooked how I had requested. Also ordered iced coffee which was good, not strong but had a fresh taste. What made me give this place the 4 stars is the cake we ordered, the tiramisu was stale and had an old taste to it, did not enjoy it, my partner’s cheesecake wasn’t terrible but wasn’t the best, at $6.50 a slice this knocked this eatery’s stat one star down. The place was busy being it was Sunday morning and we never got water service until we had to ask for water, not a huge deal. Place is comfortable and love the seating arrangements which are booths which offer privacy. Overall food seems tasty here but stay away from the cakes or have the cake and mention it to the manager if it has a stale taste.“

“I love ❤ my Pete's Diner,Great tasting breakfast,I'm always ordering my home fries n bacon,Today I ate inside the restaurant with my best friend,the service was good,and of course the best waitress Veronica.it is nice and clean n great atmosphere.“

“Delicious classic diner food, went for brunch on Saturday at 10:30, honestly surprised it’s not busier. Classic old school diner with great food. Great portions and quality for price. Would much rather come to a spot like this than a chain restaurant. Will be back to try their non breakfast menu items another time.“

“We normally dine at The Last Stop on Sunday mornings for a late breakfast. The custom omelets are superb and the service prompt and friendly. It has a home town, friendly atmosphere. What more can you ask?“

“Always great service with a nice welcome and appreciation for the business. Great breakfast and brunch menu. Fast service.“

“Been coming here since I was 6 years old and now 24 years later this place is still standing and the food is still amazing as it was when I was a kid love love this place“

“I am sorry for adopting the pet. I am older and do not know computers. I love this cat and don’t understand computers. She is so sweet but not getting along in her home . I took her without realizing the danger I put her in . She deserves better than I am able to do“

“Staff is always very pleasant and the food is delicious“

“Charming spot thats been open forever! New ownership has breathed new life into Lulus, and now its like a Mexican restaurant and diner IN ONE! Which I think is pretty cool!Prices very fair, but please.....make a proper bathroom where you don't have to walk behind the counter to use!“

“friendly staff, very attentive. large menu, very accommodating.“

“First time here and will be coming back to try another menu item. It took me a long time to decide what to get. They have a lot of food to choose from from breakfast, lunch, sandwiches, etc. Pay cash to save on the bill (as advertised). I did not take any photos but this place is accessible by the MTA Q12/13. Q30/31. There is a BUS STOP in front of the Diner. This diner is located along Northern Blvd. (Bayside area) in Queens. They have parking as well.

Kid-friendliness: There was a kids birthday party at the time, so it is definitely Kid-friendly!“

“Our neighborhood go-to even if we are a few neighborhoods away. Staff are amazing, food is terrific and prices are very reasonable. Burgers never disappoint and I think their Chicken Parm is the best in the area (including recipes from Italian restaurants)“

“Good food....Good service“

“they have delicious food here everything is so fresh they have amazing burgers“

“Peggy knows how to pick great places to eat!“
