50 Best American Restaurants near Hempstead

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

“Es muy rico ellos fueron para mis 15 años“

“The staff are very helpful and they all have patience, when I shop I sometimes have to hop back and forth to make the perfect combinations and I love it when the cashier tells me to take my time and not in a sarcastic way. They throw little pointers and tips if they see you need a bit of help or forgot something. You pay for what you want, high quality food.It's very clean, every few minutes I looked up I could see someone dusting the floor, fixing tables and chairs, or throwing away garbage. It's very spacious and you have more than enough room to move around. Music on the speakers are Hofstra based, with a large amount of the tracks belonging to their band. There are many different types of seating to make you comfortable from booths to stools to tables.Their soups are to kill for, I enjoy the creamy and thickness. They aren't cheap with their ingredients, such as a clam chowder will have enough pieces of clam, chicken noodle soup will have enough chicken. They make soup into what it's meant to be, delicious, creamy and heart filled. You also get to serve yourself, so just take what you enjoy the most. The brownies here are so sweet and soft to each bite. I brought a sandwich from this place to my class one time and everyone was just drawn to it's wonderful aroma. Top notch, I hope this place keeps it up because I love it.“

What truly stood out was the exceptional service from Andre, our server and bartender. He was attentive, personable, professional, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit.

Great customer service can really make or break an experience, and Andre definitely made ours memorable! It’s always refreshing to encounter someone who takes pride in what they do and genuinely makes guests feel welcome.

Thank you, Andre, for the hospitality! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend 32 North for a great brunch experience!“

“Was hungry, so I went out by myself.
Ordered 1/2 $ appetizers (10pm on).
- Chicken nuggets (Asian flavor)
- Chicken quesadilla

Nuggets were fine. Accompanying Ranch dressing was disappointing, so waitress brought me blue cheese dressing (better!)

Lost a star on the Quesadilla as the IRL version looked so unlike their advertised version. Will add photos for difference. Forgot to take IRL photo upon it/their arrivals, but you can definitely see the lack of advertised components.
Flavor was tasty, but lack of innards meant less filling, so I wound up ordering a second Quesadilla. (Though I took >50% home)

Tipped based on the full appetizer amount. My waitress was very nice, professional and helpful.“

“Good tacos and margaritas server Debbie was awesome“

Everything was perfect“

“I wanted to Thank Everyone at the Sunrise Diner for all the years they made my Parents feel like family whenever they went there. My Father has since passed but my Sister took my Mother there today and they gave my Mom hugs, told her they loved her and how cute she was. I was in tears when I heard this from my Sister. I am so Happy that my Mom has this place to go to to get out and feel so loved by so many. Over the years the Sunrise Diner has been a very Happy Place to go to. The service is the best we've ever had. They've treated my Family like Family. I cannot thank the People at the Sunrise Diner enough! They mean so much to my Family. And you can't beat their food!!! I've never had a bad meal their. Love all of you. Hope to get back to Wantagh soon and see you all! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH♥️“
