I left underwhelmed. I tried the maple bacon pancakes, a build-your-own Angus burger with sautéed onions and bacon, and an Oreo shake with banana. Everything sounded great on paper, but the execution fell flat.
The quality of the food didn’t live up to the hype—definitely not “high-quality” as they claim in response to other reviews. Their products/ingredients are not satisfactory
The pancakes were obnoxious to the point it was too much to consume and , the burger was forgettable, and the milkshake was average at best—nothing you couldn’t get at any typical spot. For the price, you’d expect something a bit more memorable. The lack of care or effort is noticeable.
I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re nearby and need a quick bite. Otherwise, it’s just another diner with inflated expectations.

This diner is one of my favorites on Long Island!
The food is always so great. The quality of the food feels a lot better than most diners I’ve been to. We’ve been here a few times already and have always gotten the server, Melissa. She’s the best! She gives great recommendations and is always so sweet and attentive. Although this diner is about a 30 min drive, we always take the trip.
Definitely come here and ask for Melissa!!! Go after 9pm for half off apps!

Came here for lunch and dinner on separate occasions and would be eager to come back for breakfast as well. As it is naturally a diner staple.
Atmosphere is exactly the traditional diner look you come to expect, plenty of bright colors and chrome, kicks you right in the nostalgia. But nothing is actually "old" either which is a plus. Both times I've gone staff have been friendly and helpful but just a touch slow to attend to my groups, but not egregiously so. Parking is pretty easy in the attached lot, plus some options on the side streets nearby if the place is really hopping.
Food is very tasty and like any good, has a million choices to choose from. I've tried their Buffalo chicken caesar wrap, the chicken bacon ranch wrap, and the beef gyro. The gyro and the Buffalo Caesar were my favorite. Shout out to their fries though! Normally diner fries are nothing to write home to mom about, but their's are nice and crispy, and dare I say are nearly a highlight of the meal. One thing to appreciate as well, although I'm not vegan, they do offer a lot of vegan options, way more than any diner I've been to before. I was also very tantilized by their delicious sounding dessert options, but I controlled myself and saved it for another day. Prices are great for what you get, as things have got more expensive recently, the menu has managed to stay reasonable, making the bang for your buck feel a lot better.

I always go to this diner and love it. I’m not cheap, but today I ordered mozzarella sticks for $14.50 and they only give FOUR! Almost $4 for each mozzarella stick. Quite disappointed.

The diner is nice , the reason I rated it 4 stars is I ordered a water with lemon and the people I was with got their sodas and I didn't get my water.
The food was good , service could have been a bit better.
I will definitely return and I'll update my rating upon my return to the diner !
