This is a very great place to come by yourself or bring the whole family for a great meal and great service. Very extensive menu pretty much anything and everything you could ever want or expect from a diner plus some. They have alcohol as well so if youd like a drink with your breakfast or dinner. Very good coffee as well. Outside it looks like an old diner of the type you dont see anymore inside the same way very nice and very clean and it shows Ive actually never seen a restaurant of this type such a clean atmosphere look up at the ceiling in this place and I promise you will never see a place this clean. The ownership is great and the employees are great. Not a bad place to eat at all highly recommended if youre in the area or live here and never ate here please go and check it out.
Went there earlier in the month as I was attending a wedding in Long Island and the diner was close to the hotel. Really enjoyed the food and it made me realize how much I miss diners! (We have them here in Maine, but theres nothing like a Long Island diner!) The cheese blintzes were great and the corned beef hash is amazing! My partner got eggs, toast, and bacon which he enjoyed. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, we would be happy to return if were ever in the area again.
Chrome exterior with neon sign in the classic æsthetic. Gumball machine in the vestibule as is mandatory for all diners. Lots of booths and one enclosed room. Bathrooms separated by sex. Delicious food of American fair. Spacious parking lot and free, fast wi-fi. On June 23rd, 2021 the Suffolk County Libertarian Party held a joint meeting here with the Nassau County Libertarian Party.
I came in for breakfast on a Saturday morning and ordered Eggs Benedict with avocado and had the the hash browns instead of home fries. The dish was very good. The Benedict sauce was very tasty. Next time, however, Ill order the home fries. The hash browns were of the rectangular formed variety that you can find in the frozen section of a grocery store.
Stay away from this place, my first time there and was served somebody’s disgusting nail. You can imagine how they handle rest of their food. I am beyond disgusted by this experience and you can best believe I am never going back.Picture for proof
This is a classic Greek owned diner, meaning great food and friendly efficient staff. The menu for breakfast was extensive with all the favorites on offer. The owner walks the floor keeping a watchful eye on how things are going. Hes quick with a smile and is fun to engage with. My wife ordered a swiss and mushroom omelette, while I opted for hash and eggs. Both arrived quickly, piping hot and delicious. I have neither a complaint or even suggested improvement for the Hauppauge Palace Diner - a rare and sought after experience. If youre a fan of northeast diners, you will LOVE this one!
Very disappointed in the food we ordered. We ordered a chicken ceasar wrap, a grilled cheese with bacon, and an iced coffee. The iced coffee was insanely watery and not appetizing. The ceasar wrap wasnt tightly wrapped at all so it was difficult to eat. The container that held the fries for the grilled cheese had some sort of mold or dust on it. We were truly astonished the cooks saw the container and still put food inside it.
My girlfriend and I were in town on business for three days. We ate here every single day. Not only is the food absolutely phenomenal, and the portions bordering on ridiculous, but the service is also exquisite. Friendly, attentive, and unapologetically local. We have diners in Texas, but nothing like this. If I lived here, I would weigh 600 pounds. No joke. The pancakes are scratch made, and the potatoes are cooked with peppers and onions. The bacon is crispy and plentiful. GO HERE.
The best thing about this diner, like most, is that they’re open late, a wife variety of food, and it’s usually pretty good. This place is no exception. Had a burger and fries that hit the spot!
Great staff. Great Food. Amazing experience.
A compulsory stop for anybody in the area who wants good food at fair prices. Spacious and clean (including bathrooms) with friendly staff. Ample parking out front. The vestibule contains a vending machine selling toys. Unmistakable neon lighting outside against chrome façade in the classic style. The Suffolk County Libertarian Party convenes here regularly.
Ordered french toast and it wasnt what I was looking for so I shared a plate of corned beef with my guest and it was delicious. I cant stop thinking about having it delicious.
We ordered six entrees for a takeout order for pickup. They forgot one order. Two orders were missing the coleslaw and pickle. We called up to get the missing order, and they were nice to drop it off at our place. However the order was missing its included soup and vegetables, even after the person on the phone confirmed what todays soup was!
I like this diner. The diners in my area that Ive been to are great. Have been to two events there and they did not disappoint. Food was exceptional and I just finished the leftovers from last night, it was even great cold. Ill be back 😋
The rest of our food was good. Ordered a turkey club and asked for cheese on it. When I got back to with my order was sad to find out that there was no cheese on my sandwich and that the way they cut the sandwich was very messy. I would have gone back and fixed it but the location is almost a half an hour away from me.
A great place for dinner when youre not sure what you want. Typical variety of diner dishes, always fresh always fast. This place never disappoints.
Excellent service! As soon as we ask for something someone came quickly. Food was good. We will be coming back!!
Best Diner Around. Great staff, great food and great prices. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so.
My family and I have been going to this diner for awhile now and every time we go, the staff is very friendly and very accommodating. The service is excellent and the waitresses are extremely friendly. The owners always greet us when we first come in and when we leave, they always let my son have a lollipop. They come over to our table and chat with us for a little bit and they even let us joke around with them. The food is amazing as well as their desserts. I thoroughly recommend this diner to anyone who wants to have great food and a very friendly experience
Great experience! Very friendly! Food was excellent! I asked the owner if they have been busy during COVID-19, he said, they have stayed busy!! We took home desert for us and family 😀! Im on the Atkins diet, I was surprised they had sugar free desert!! Yeaaaaaah!! 😋👍
My boyfriend and I LOVE this diner! There’s ALWAYS great food, AMAZING service and the wait (if any at all) on Sunday mornings isn’t long at all, they def know what theyr doing. Coming from someone who grew up in the restaurant business, it takes certain skills to be able to take care of every aspect in a restaurant. From customer service to the food (and everything in between) it’s def not easy…… this diner makes it look easy and they know how to make customers want to come back….again and again and again lol….. thank you!
It was a good diner, I went for breakfast. The food was good.
We meet for breakfast once a month to talk laugh and have breakfast. The place look is old seems not as clean and the food is not great we ordered eggs and my friend ordered little cheese. It was packed mostly cheese. How do you destroy eggs. Toast cold barely toasted. The waitress was not a happy person and made that clear. Fortunately we have many places to chose from and we will. Sorry I always try to find the positive.
Best diner on Long Island, for breakfast or dinner. Friendly staff, delicious food.
Very accommodating for a group of 8. Excellent service.
My God the banana chocolate chip pancakes were good. The waitress was eerily good. She only needed to know the first thing of your order and somehow knew the rest. Ill take pancakes... banana and chocolate chip, side of ham and eggs. How you want your eggs? uhhhh sunny side up Yep I knew it. And chocolate milk right? me with my mouth now on the floor.. Yes and tonights lotto numbers please.
If you love diners like me, just a great one, smiling happy service, attentive, awesome omelets and French toast. Recommended...
Exactly what a diner should be. Went there for breakfast food at noon. Good food / fast service
Great western omelette, coffee, customer service, clean, safe, fair pricing - we shall return...
The service and food are exceptional. I defy you not to find exactly what you would like to eat, the menu is extensive. I have never been disappointed nor will you. Generous portions of good food.
Food was excellent.Service was good
There are plenty of dinners in Suffolk, many quite good but this one is my favorite, hands down.Service is great. Friendly, family atmosphere. The quality of the food is excellent. Plates are big and generous. I live in the neighborhood and come often.
Decent customer service, the greeters at the diner were responsive, however the diner is old and needs remodeling, and the support staff needs to be aware of who is the customer.
This Diner provides the amazing classic diner experience. No frills, great food, service is always fast and fun.
Awesome food, service and ambience. Their fish & salmon are delightful. Will definitely come back again.
Got a eggplant Parm and it was delicious. The portions were very generous and priced right.
This place is amazing, great size pancakes and great prices
Food is delicious, prices are very reasonable. Staff is kind and professional. The Diner is clean and neat.
Fantastic diner. Great food and great service. Clean and fast. Very nice workers.
Usually I be wary of a diner with such a large menu, but no worries here. After expanding the choices the times that I have been there, I do not question the freshness n the quality. Also the staff is very friendly, n management walks around to say hello n make sure all is well. Hauppauge Palace Diner is quickly being one of my fav places to go on weekends with my friends.
Excellent food and service. Reasonable prices.
The food was excellent and the service was great!
The food came out cold, the waitress i had ran away. very disappointing. 0 stars never coming back.
Genuine old time diner, large portions of hearty food, incredibly large menu, super friendly staff, our waitress was great.Really fine!
Food was not only delicious but the portions were huge! The waitress was excellent & the owner was a true gentleman! I highly recommend going there!
First time to this diner and it was a great experience. Very friendly staff and people. Very clean, and such great food. Stop by today u wont be disappointed!!
Very friendly service. I wish the menu described my reuben sandwich as open face. They forgot to bring extra gravy for another entrée, but politely removed it from the bill. I would go back. The food was edible and the portions generous.
Godsend. Top-notch homemade cheesecake & oatmeal. Kind of an 80s vibe. Very clean restrooms. Very personable server & hostess. When a drunken customer got surly & loud with them, they handled her with class & consideration for other customers, making sure they paid for her meal & she left the establishment. They were never rude to her, even when she hurled insults at them & tried to drag us into her fight. For the record, our food was great.
The atmosphere was good and the service were great 👍
Delicious food very good service, and just a very all over welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this place
Happy Days atmosphere its good.
Friendly staff. Very clean. Great breakfast menu.
We recently moved to area. French toast was amazing (challah bread) will be back
They have Gluten free options including GF fries
Great place service is always great and the food is very good
Looks like an old 50’s diner, because it is. Food is outstanding. We went yesterday, and they are renovating the main entrance, so you have to go in the side door. I had liver & onions, which was better than I make, and the portion was enough for two meals. They have a display case full of delicious looking desserts, but I have never had room for them after the meal.
The staff and service were pretty good. The food was questionable. We ordered 6 dishes (lox Benedict, avocado Benedict, 12oz burger, Italian pasta, and Italian omelet). The Benedicts were tasty, with good hollandaise sauce. The others were not as good, with the burger being incredibly dry and burnt, the pasta greasy and bland, as well as the omelet and sides (home potatoes) being underseasoned and dry. Portions were huge, so I would recommend a Benedict with French fries, not home fries. Please stay away from the burger. It was like licking burnt sand.
Been going here for many years. Always a good breakfast. The servers are also top notch.
Dont live in area, but stopped in. What a great experience.
Excellent service and great food! Staff are very helpful and pleasant. Great value!
I ordered a pickup order via doordash. Gluten free tuna wrap. Got back to work, started eating. NOT a gluten free wrap. Thumbs down. Now I gotta take a charcoal pill and hope i dont get sick. Good thing they have a gluten free menu.
Quick service, great customer service
Its a real pleasure going to this diner, the service is outstanding the food portion are enjoyable. Awesome atmosphere love taking my family there. Ps coffee is always fresh ☕
The diner was excellent, service was great a large menu n big portions.
Love this place... everyone is so friendly and the food is great! quick service and great cole slaw! Loved my waitress Marcela too!!
Great home-made tasting corned beef hash. Fresh tasting salads. Extensive typical diner menu to give you what you expect. Really taking an effort to keep social distancing regulations in mind while seating people indoors, as well as expanding their dining room into the parking lot. Service is super friendly and professional. If only I knew how to pronounce the name of the place.
Such a great place with great food. The staff is super friendly.
Been here two times its Great place with good portions, friendly staff,great food.
Excellent food excellent service excellent Staff
Welcoming, professional low key service and absolutely fabulous food. What more could one ask for?
Best Diner in the Smithtown area. Bar none. Never had a bad meal here; usual wide diner menu and never fail to serve a decent meal. Pre covid they were always kind to our little one which was really appreciated. Been doing take out much of 2020, and no diminished quality nor flavor.
Delicious food, great staff
Good food. Plenty of it. Good service.
Mashed potatoes were unflavored, unseasoned instant mashed potatoes in a paper coffee cup. Cheese fries for $8 were 1/4 of a small tin with a melted Kraft single. $35 Uber eats order for that with some cold chicken tenders.
Clean comfortable dining attentive wait staff with good diner food.
People are very nice. However, Greek dishes that I have ordered seemed to be cooked with Spanish/Hispanic seasoning.I am Hispanic so I know the taste of Hispanic seasoned food.Again, nothing against the people who works there....but please do not mix Hispanic seasoning with Greek!
Great food and service. Reasonable prices.
Excellent food with a low carb menu. Wait staff terriffic. I had the special stuffed scallops over linguini and it was cooked to perfection! Scallops were tender and linguini not too al dente nor limp. You get scallops on stuffed clams, a seafood lovers delight. Great deal! Enough food for me to take home for another meal! As good as any great seafood restaurant! Couldnt be happier.
This is home cooking at its best. The value of your dollar goes far. Whenever we are in the area we stop in to have a bite.
Nice diner, excellent food, excellent service and all around nice establishment.
Excellent. Love this place. Food, service and especially the COFFEE!
It was wonderful I enjoyed it 😊
Great food awesome people
At this Diner you will get one of the best home cooked meals I kid you not there is a full menu plus a full page of specials the chicken croquettes are one of my favorite they start you out with a plate of stood chicken wings as an appetizer home cooked soup salad bread basket also includes coffee and dessert all for a price under $30 did I mention they also offer outdoor seating and the service is excellent . Plenty of parking!
Im a doordasher and two nights in a row my order wasnt ready. waiting up to 25 minutes. the owner said “oh the kitchen thought they made it and didnt” like oh?!?! howd you forget to make a order? also i witness w my own eyes an employee in the kitchen bag a order w no face mask on. the owner then “said something” just for me to see another employee touch food with out a face mask on. stop the spread especially when it involves food. do better :) i would absolutely never eat here or recommend someone to eat here.
Great food!! The staff is always friendly, its always awesome dining there! I would give them 6 stars if possible, not just 5
Its a typical American diner where the food is bland and overcooked. I dont know what other reviews are saying about the food and rating it 5 stars, but this is like every other diner where they give a huge food portions that is all overcooked and dry.
Always excellent service and grub.....!
Quality of food poor and very expensive
