Stopped in with my wife and friends at Glen’s Dinette in Babylon. We were greeted warmly and served quickly — classic diner hospitality. My crew kept it simple with eggs, potatoes, and toast, while I went all in on The Idaho. Savory, cheesy, and filling, with marble rye toast that was perfectly toasted and buttered. A dish that delivers.
The space feels like a 1960s diner with modern touches. Prices are fair, service was friendly and attentive with refills offered more than once.
For me, it’s a strong 4 stars. To give it 5, I’d want to try more of their standout dishes — like the banana blueberry pancakes that caught my eye. If those live up to the hype, my rating could climb. For now, when I’m in Babylon and want breakfast, Glen’s is my spot.

My boyfriend and I decided to get breakfast early Saturday morning which I thought would be a terrible idea. To my lovely surprise, there was seating for us at the bar. I also thought the service would be slow, but it was quite the opposite. The wait staff was super attentive and even made accommodations without issue. Also, the decor is 50s themed and feels like a blast from the past. After we enjoyed our delicious dishes, we walked out and saw a huge line waiting at the door. Safe to say we came at the perfect time but clearly this is one of the most popular breakfast spots in town!

Glen’s Dinette is a fantastic spot for breakfast, my family and I recently had an excellent experience there. From the moment we walked in, the service was top notch & our waitress was helpful, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was fresh and delicious.
A few standout items were the Crab cake Benedict and the corned beef hash. Both were cooked just right. I highly recommend Glen’s Dinette to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast in a welcoming atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind, they are a cash only restaurant, so plan accordingly!

Cute old fashioned quaint Glen’s Dinette in Babylon NY has the real deal for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Sit at a table inside or out or at the counter. Jennifer is a charming and fine waitress. Prices are fair. Do have quarters for meter parking near by. Do check hours.

I had one extremely bad experience here. I will lead with the bad story, then go to my other experiences.
back in, I believe 2014 or 2015, I was invited to go to glen's by my friend as her +1. she was going with her father, her father's coworker, and the coworker's son. we are all Hispanic. we are placing our orders, many of us ask for coffee. we are given our coffees. the milk is poured into a little container, so we pour the milk ourselves. I am the first to pour milk into my coffee. I drink the coffee. coffee does not taste right. then the others pour their milk, and they have the same complaint. we realized we were given spoiled milk. the waitress comes by, I tell her "can we have a new milk and coffee? we were given spoiled milk." she rolls her eyes at me, comes back with good milk.
as a young adult back then, I honestly did write it off as an accident, and maybe our waitress just had a busy day and thought we were just being whiny about our milk. but the more I shared this story with friends, the more I was told by all my friends that this was more than just an accident, that this was on purpose. and that saddens me. because I have so many nice memories of glen's. this establishment closes around 3, so I remember my high school friends and I rushing to glen's after school to get a meal. my friend brought with her a glen's mug when she moved upstate to remember the good times.
TL;DR some employees at glen's may be racist, so just be careful.
