“In the charming village of Northport, NY, there's a place where the clock hands seem to spin a little slower, and the welcome is as warm as the soup. The Shipwreck Dinner is not just a local eatery. It's a time capsule that captures the essence of a bygone era, a place that cherishes the slow and steady rhythm of a close-knit community. From the moment you step inside, The Shipwreck Dinner envelops you in an ambiance that whispers of yesteryears -- a time when everyone knew your name and your favorite dish. The air is rich with the aroma of simmering soups, each batch lovingly prepared to perfection. As a soup aficionado myself, I can attest to the fact that their offerings are nothing short of amazing. The heart and soul of The Shipwreck Dinner is, without a doubt, owner Dennis and his dedicated staff. Dennis, with his ever-present smile and genuine affection for his clientele, sets the tone for the establishment. He's more than just an owner. He's the captain of a ship where every passenger is treated like family. His passion for the restaurant and the people it serves is evident in every interaction, fostering an atmosphere that's as comforting as the food. The staff's commitment to their work is palpable -- they move with a purpose and a joy that can only come from people who truly love what they do. Their approach to service is personal, attentive, and imbued with the kind of care that can only be found in a place where employees are there because they choose to be, not just because they have to be. The Shipwreck Dinner is a treasure of Northport, a reminder of the times when meals were savored, conversations lingered, and the community was at the heart of every business. It's a place where you can shake off the cold rush of the modern world and bask in the warmth of good food and even better company. For anyone searching for a meal that satisfies the stomach and the soul, The Shipwreck Dinner is the perfect port of call. It's a restaurant that proves that some places can withstand the tides of time, offering a harbor of delicious nostalgia to anyone who walks through its welcoming doors.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Looks like an older diner, that's been there for yrs. The restaurant was clean and had an old fashion vibe. The waitress was friendly and the food was amazing. Oh and they put a macaroni salad on the table for you to enjoy while waiting for your food. It was so delicious. Not sure what was on the pasta but it was so good. The burgers were huge and the sweet potato fries were also like a double portion in other dinners. Then the dessert was rice pudding, the waitress said that everyone raves about it. Well they were right, it was so creamy.. delish!!! Prices were very reasonable. The only challenging part is the parking lot. It's not very big. But it is so worth a visit. Everything was A++++++“
“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.“
“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“
“Get the balava cheesecake!!!!!! You will thank me!!! The service was great and the vibes were perfect. I went only 7 years ago and forgot the name of the place and when I remembered because the food was so great years ago I came back and needless to say I will be coming back more often it was as great as I remembered“
“First time coming here. Their breakfast was truly great. The Hershey pancakes hit the spot and it was perfectly done. Huevos rancheros burrito and the breakfast dish (eggs/cornbeef hash/home fries) were delicious. We also purchase their peanut butter cheesecake and rainbow cake to take home. I’m not a fan of cheesecake and when I tried it, it blew my mind. (Tasted great!) Rainbow cake was delicious as well! Definitely going back to try out their lunch dishes.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Went with my gf when we were visiting her parents. I had a turkey club sandwich with fries and she had the Pueblo burrito with homemade chips.Everything was delicious and the server was very pleasant.Parking: More than enough spots for cars“
“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!“
“Special thanks to The Colony for Excellent food and outstanding Customer Service last night. The JJ Howell Ensembele & friends filled the entire restaurant without Notice after our beloved Musical tribute.It was only right to go back to grass roots, as young adults we came here after late night church services. 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“
“Our 1st visit was a pleasant experience doing breakfast. Had the big breakfast ??. My better 1/2 had eggs Benedict & we were very satisfied with the food, service, staff & waitress. Has that classic old school late 80's early 90's diner look with the stainless & mirrors. Some seats have that classic pvt. table jukebox.Parking: Convenient corner diner on Sunrise hwy. svc. Rd.Kid-friendliness: Crayons & pics for the kids to color with. (Upon request)Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp & stairs leading to the main entrance.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“We live not too far from this diner. I'm originally from NJ so, I when I say I know diners, I mean it! This diner has it all~ fresh baked goods, soups, dinner specials, all day breakfast and assorted platters ranging from gyros, paninis, brick-sized sandwiches and a bunch of seafood dishes also. My husband and I came here for a quick bite after a long day of running errands. He had the bacon, mushroom, jalepenos and cheese burger with a side of huge onion rings. The onion rings, I mean, look at them, they're HUGE, crispy and the onions are fresh. The burger was cooked to order, and they did not skimp on the toppings. There were loads of mushroom, bacon strips and cheese. It was greasy, hot and seasoned perfectly. I, on the other hand, opted for the reuben and it was uh-mazing. Pastrami was not dry, just the right amount of saurkraut, a mountain of yellow mustard (my favorite) accompanied with crispy, salty fries, pickle and creamy coleslaw. Our server was attentive, checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything and service was quick and great every time we've gone. We also regularly order delivery via GH and food always comes piping hot, fresh and delicious. We have relatives that live in Nassau County but they make their way to Suffolk just to go to this diner. They have great breakfast specials that won't be on those delivery apps so, swing by in the morning and check them out. Yelp Elite approved!“
“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.“
