Since we were in town, we decided to check out this local diner due to some recommendations. By the time we got there, 11 am, 90% of the parking lot was filled and the restaurant was packed! It was a 20 minute wait despite this, and they turned over tables super fast. Once we got seated, the waiter attended to us immediately and we got our food within the first 10 minutes, which was surprisingly fast. Everything we ordered was great, and I highly recommend the chicken parm sandwich. If we ever go back to this area, Im going to lunch here first!
What a wonderful feeling of Celebrating Life decorations w/n this restaurant! I went for the 1st time to have breakfast with my sister & it was awesome. From Customer service, to ordering my food & receiving exactly what I wanted. Good a/c - cool! Delicious food & served quickly! Decor of 4th of July with pictures & streamers. How wonderful! Thank you Oconee Diner for an enjoyable experience!
I travel out of town and past 2 diners to come here . Love the food, staff friendliness & the seasonal themes they put up! My kid loves coming here and asks “are we going to the place with all the flags and balloons?”
Love how they decorate for every holiday. Nice service. UV Air Cleaner to cleaner air.
Love Oconee! Consistently good food, super fast and love that they support our heros!
Place is decorated very nice, a very fun place to bring kids too I bet.The burger I got was so hilariously small, overcooked and completely tasteless though, maybe just a bad day. Fries came out amazing!Really enjoyed the comedy show on the television, never heard of the channel oan before, real funny stuff
Service was fast and friendly and atmosphere was nice. I ordered an omelette, French fries and a short stack of pancakes. The pancakes were SO dry and not soft. So bad I couldn’t eat them. The rest of the meal was delicious and the pancakes were taken off the bill. I’d go back, but I’d never again order the pancakes.
Still one of the best! Been coming for over 25 years!
My family has been coming to this Diner since before I was born. When you walk in their pay tribute to the police force and honor Heroes of September 11th which I think is nice. On the inside it is always decorated extremely festive for each occasion. The food is always good. It is fairly priced. The service is also good. Since covid they have installed a special air filters at kills viruses bacteria and mold. Today after our meal we were even offered free cookies on our way out.
What a fun diner. A must to go to during the holiday season. It is Christmas on steroids. It is the most festive restaurant ever. The food is also very good. They start you with a chick pea salad which was very good. I had a chicken Greek wrap with sweet potatoes fries. It was very good. The owner was very friendly and happy to hear we came all the way from Valley Stream to see their festive diner.
This place is awesome.... from the bus Boys straight up to the owners this place is great. Especially if you have kids you wont be disappointed.
I went here with my son on Mothers day and although it was crowded, the service was excellent. They had 4 course specials that were reasonably priced and delicious. They also were giving out carnations to the women to celebrate the day. Everything was hot and fresh and was served quickly. I would highly recommend eating here. You wont be disappointed.
Typical diner in the best meaning of the term. I liked the place especially the Halloween decorations.
We have been going to this diner for years because we live in East Islip, Ever since the COVID situation the food has not only been adequate but the prices have been raised beyond what should be acceptable. The chicken pot pie that my husband loved went up $6.00 and wasnt the same. Very disappointed probably wont go back after all these years.
Been going here over 20 years. Love this place. Great food and atmosphere
Best diner on long island! ❤️
LOVE the Holiday decorations and the food is DEELISH!! The Owner/Staff are so welcoming and accommodating!! :)
I love this place. Best food ever. Very friendly and the nicest staff anyware.
Excellent service, attentive Wait staff, generous portion, delicious food.. well-priced. plenty of screens on different channels.
What a great place! Really rocks!
I love this diner. Food is delicious. Price is right plentiful of food. Very courteous,friendly and professional. Diner is very clean and I love the decorations
This service was wonderful the food was great the atmosphere was definitely fantastic and it was more food than you can eat and the service was very quick my waiter was nice pleasant I give this place a five-star all the way around
Food was very good. Waitress was not friendly and was rarely near our table to check on things or for us to be able to ask if we needed anything.
Huge portions of excellent food. Fun atmosphere and cookies for all.
Always worth going to for any occasion. Ive been going my whole life and they still give the same great food and go all out with decorations for holidays. Service is always good 10/10 recommend!
Always leave with a doggie bag. Fun around the holidays.
We stopped for breakfast there on Tax Payment day. The town of Islip, N.Y. tax office is just down the street. So after paying them we went to Oconee Diner. Sat and enjoyed a nice meal. We also go sometimes for dinner. Owners are great. Treat their customers good. Staff is good. Food is real good. Go down and enjoy a meal !!!
Amazing food and service. Love all of the patriotic decor & their support for police & military. Good prices also. Will definitely be back.
Really nice LI diner! They go all out with the decor, and the staff pays great attention to you. Food is good!
Really attentive staff. My waiter was quick and another tables waiter gave my niece a few lollipops so she wouldnt be upset. 🎊
Love this diner. My husband and I almost every weekend. Food is great. Service is great. Highly recommend this diner.
My dad loves coming here, the staff treats you like family and they make sure you get what you want. The work extremely hard here, and besides that the food is excellent. 😁
Amazing customer service, some of the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had, amazing staff and always decorated for the current Holliday
Always greeted with a smile, and even if it s busy. The wait isnt ussally long. Food is outstanding, and always decorated to the nine.
Always a great meal. Staff is friendly, food is great.
The food was on point and the service was phenomenal. Im definitely going back.
Food very blane. Waitress unfriendly and abrupt. Food came out quickly tho. Place has fun decor inside.
Food is a bit above average. Prices also a bit above average. Effort level for the decorations is off-the-charts. It’s within walking distance for us so we were regular customers but now they have streamed in OAN on some of the TVs in addition to the steady Fox News viewing so time to call it quits on principle. If you haven’t checked out Jackson hall down the road for brunch, I HIGHLY recommend. Delicious brunch, super cheap, and they keep channels to “safe space” sports, etc. Bloody Mary’s are $4. No joke! This is where our family will be taking our breakfast/brunch business going forward.
Been come here for 30 years. They treat you like family. And its the best on LI.
Hubby and I took our nephews there and they had a blast
Food is always great. There was a piece of plastic in my friends mothers omelette and when they brought her a new one it had big pieces of eggshell in it. They were very busy so I guess sometimes these things happen
Diners, diners, diners....this may very well have been where that old Saturday Night Live skit was inspired. The Oconee has been here forever and is a mainstay of the South Shore, if not all of Suffolk County! Come hungry leave stuffed and with a big bag of food too! The place is highly decorated for all upcoming seasons and holidays, always packed and owner Pete will load you with all the extras you expect at a diner....water, bread, cookies, tootsie pops and more. The food is right out of the Diner playbook....everything! Enjoy a family meal, no matter how big your party, reservations not required!
Service was great. Food was good and served hot and a full plate. Had enough for a second meal.
Terrific service and food was excellent! If you havent experienced the holiday decorations your missing out!
The ambiance is a lot better then the food!
Food is amazing and the decorations make it the experience a little more special. The location is a little political but besides from that it’s fun to grab some food and see how they decorated for the seasons. As far as the food I usually get the cheese burger deluxe with cheese on the fries and I can die a happy man after that food. Highly recommend!
Although my opinion here is a little based, it was a great place to visit and was my favorite diner as a child, only complaint is that the portions are way too big.
Good food. Fast service.
Delicious! Our server, laura, was amazing! Anticipated our needs, always had refills ready. The raviolis were TO DIE FOR!! As is the rice pudding. Would 100% come here again, also to add.. the matzo ball soup was amazing. I cant put into words how much i love this place
Excellent service! And love the American Flag everywhere.
The best food i had in a long time the service was great
Best Diner in suffolk county. The hospitality is unmatched, the service is not lazy at all. The food is delightful! And its always decorated beautifully
Went to Dinner here tonight. My kids loved the food and Jason our server was so friendly. He was joking around with my son making the entire time feel wonderful. Definitely made us laugh and made our experience extra great. Will definitely be going back.
Great service! Food came so fast it was amazing! All of it tasted great
One of Long Islands super diners. Take your family. Great food, good prices.
The food was delicious, and the service was very good!
The food for the most part was delicious my one complaint comes from one dish, The Big Texan, the buns taste to much like garlic bread and it just ruined my appetite, I had to eat the meal with just the meat and cheese with black pepper to cover any lingering garlic taste, the cookies are nice though and this is the only place Ill eat onion rings because of how they taste like funnel cake
Huge portions of food, great service and the patriotic atmosphere is well noted for fire fighters and the police departments of all New York
Excellent service. Food was terrific. Had an open faced Reuben and had to take half home. Portions are huge!
Never a dull moment! They go above and beyond with holiday decorations . Staff is always nice & fast! And food is always great . Cant complain ❤️👍🏽
First time over there! I liked the service and friendly staff. Good environment for families. Love the food, and the size 😍
The broiled Salmon was fresh and delicious
We had a large party, staff was very personable and attentive. Food was great!
Fantastic atmosphere great fresh homemade corned beef hash and the home fries are out of this world
First time here. Extremely disappointed in the food. My London broil sandwich was over cooked. Bread was stale. Coffee old and lemon meringue pie bad.Service and atmosphere was nice.
I love this place, good costumer service, the staff is friendly.
Great food, huge portions, prices reasonable. Always crowded, but wait times are reasonable.
Very patriotic! Great food & service too. God bless Oconee & America
I loved the vibe, was greeted and welcomed at the door. Had to meet someone, but as it became apparent that the other person wouldnt be coming, I ordered to go. My server was so cool and understanding. I ordered an eggplant parmigian, it came with spaghetti. The dish was delicious and had the taste of home cuisine. Highly recommend this place, especially for families, if youre vegetarian like me, I highly recommend the eggplant parmigian entre. Great experience, understanding welcoming staff, well prepared food. 5 stars of 5.
Excellent food and service, but didnt like the decor.
This place is phenomenal.. The atmosphere alone is outstanding. The decorations add to the great vibes you get being inside. The owners and management truly treat you like family with great greetings handshakes and hugs. outstanding birthday cheers and there funny attempts to sing you Happy Birthday is one of a kind. The Food has always been good I never had a bad dish yet. So I truly give them a Five star rating.
Great food but the amazing thing was the decor!
Best diner Ive been to in Suffolk County !! Worth a trip!!
Late lunch with great granddaughter who loves decorations. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Always really good food and service. Had tasty french toast. Entertaining decorations and photos.
The best diner in Suffolk county. Very underrated.
This was my first time going there I came there for my birthday I had so much fun they where all nice and everything. I will recommend going there. and we got some free ice cream that the owner pay for us and we give them so extra money just Bc it was really really good Service.
