45 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.“

“OMG if you are in the area, PLEASE give this place all your money! you will wait for a seat but baby it's well worth it!!!! you will leave with leftovers and will go back when in the area!!! it's Aahhhmazing! and it's family run and me and my girls went for a mommy daughter trip for a concert and it was a wonderful start to our second day!“

“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!!!“

“Good food not excellent service“

“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!“

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

“French Toast was very good“

“it was like im eating at my or a friend's grandma's house...loved it and it's diverse loved it ...“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 ?“

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

“neptune diner in bayside feels like it’s been there forever and probably will be long after we’re gone. the kind of spot that doesn’t care about trends or hashtags. just coffee, chrome, and the steady hum of people trying to keep it together.

you walk in at midnight or seven a.m. and it’s the same. cops, night-shift workers, teenagers chasing fries with milkshakes, old couples splitting toast. the waitresses move like they’ve seen it all and have the patience of saints.

the food’s what you expect from a diner — pancakes, burgers, omelets the size of small planets. it’s not about the menu. it’s about the ritual. you order, you talk, you stare out the window while the world keeps turning.

neptune’s the kind of place that holds you when life’s too loud. something about the buzz of conversation and the smell of coffee makes you feel less alone. it’s not perfect. it’s real. that’s worth five stars.“

“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?“

“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!!“

“My fave burger 🍔 from here is the backyard burger but last 3 times I’ve ordered it’s not the same. Normally does not come with lettuce and tomato and now it does. The chipotle sauce is now weak and the bun has change. Please bring back the original version it was perfect.“

“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.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

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

“amazing staff and amazing food keep doing amazing things for this community you guys have changed this town much love ❤️“

“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 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.“

“This place was so clean and the service was fast !!!! We got greeted at the door , sat us down immediately and food came out 5 mins after we ordered! As a Floridian I was not used to that !! Food was yummy , large portions and at a great price !! Good service too !!“

“Great bagel platter for two!“

“Delicious food, and the new owners are super friendly. I come here regularly.
So far I’ve tried the Croissant french toast, Blackened chicken panini, Patty melt, Char-grilled veggie salad.
I tried my cousins onion ring fries and they were so yummy! (I usually don’t like onion rings) they were crispy and with lots of flavor

They updates their coffee, the new coffee is delicious, I would highly recommend it ☕️“

“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!“

“Stopped here after taking someone to the airport and did a Google search of breakfast places nearby… Server was so nice. Menu and atmosphere very simple. Seems like a tight knit group of friendly employees I got the French toast and turkey bacon.“

“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“

“I've been going to Carmine's for years. At one point we thought the were closed and it was so heartbreaking. To be driving by and see them in full swing I found a parking spot and ordered my regular. French toast, grits,eggs and bacon.“

“Nice, old-school diner with a reasonable price/size ratio and a decent variety on the menu. Yes, they have tangible menus -- none of that QR code crap (where you're not sure if it's sending your phone to a sketchy website). This place is family-owned and operated. The manager is very sharp, efficient and friendly. He's on top of the customers' needs without being overbearing. They know their customers and sometimes their orders too. I'll definitely be returning!“

“Always a pleasure good food good service“

“Good food....Good service“

“Nice old style diner in a strip mall near Citi Field. Needed a hot drink and some disco fries when we left the game, they had both. Lots of locals in the area by almost nothing residential. Fantastic friendly service. Old school charm. Food came out fast and hot. They made disco fries for us without any problem. A bit pricey but what isn't these days.“

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

“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 absolutely love this tiny restaurant, by far my favorite in queens. I’ve been going here since I was a little girl and have not regretted it once. The food is amazing and the portions they give is astounding for the low price. Highly recommend !!“

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

“Smaller than some of the other diners around the area but to me seems to have slightly edgier food quality, worth the money over IHOP nearby. Portions are big enough even for 2 that don’t eat massive. Enjoy their good service and food with every visit.“

“the food is very good but I see that they have that back from their takeout menu from the way it used to be I usually get a cheeseburger deluxe and the price I never had a problem with it but now I have a problem with it because instead of a whole pickle I get too little pickle wedges I get a little cup of coleslaw and I do not get the sesame bun like I used to the food is still good but the things I just said takes away from it for the price I pay.“
