This diner. Oh. My. God. Delicious. Everything about the food here is amazing. My boyfriend and I were sad when we moved cause we didn’t know if we’d get a good diner like what we had but man oh man. This place tops the cake. Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would recommend you coming here 💜

Ordered on Grubhub although it was listed as “salad creations” I got a salad and my wife got a wrap. She rated the wrap a 3. The salad was alright although they only provided two salad dressing packets which was definitely not enough

I have gone to the Island Lake Diner for years now, you always get plenty of food for the money you spend and their food has never disappointed! Love this place.

I order from here on Uber Eats often and I usually get a salad or a wrap and everything is always great. The other night I placed an order but when it arrived it was incorrect (which doesnt usually happen). I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, Louis, who was very apologetic. He sent out a new order and everything was great. I appreciated his professionalism and kindness. He made sure my new order was sent out quickly and correctly. I will definitely continue ordering from this diner. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed or visit! Huge menu with a lot of breakfast and lunch options. The veggie omelette was really good. Big portions. Food was quickly served as well. Staff was very friendly and were always checking if we needed coffee refills. They have their booths partitioned and they were cleaning well after each visit. Highly recommended!

Boneless buffalo wings were excellent! Good service, nice staff. The only complaint I have is the Turkey bacon was not good, it used to be... I think it depends on the chef who makes breakfast that day. But everything else here, I enjoy. The skillets for breakfast are excellent and so is their raisins and bananas French toast! Definitely recommend this place highly. Good quality food!

Its ok...there are much nicer diners in the area

Normally avoid delivering from this place cause of long long waits.Today I decided to eat here cause everywhere else had a long wait just to be seated and they werent that busy yet.1. No greeting by grumpy men at entrance.2. We had to find our waitress after sitting for 15 minutes.3. Food is causing immediate digestive issues and was not very tasty, even for a cheap diner.4. Front desk guy, literally cursing at a waiter on the floor.Only good part about this experience, was that the waitress tried fixing the situation.Where is the leadership here? Where is any customer service standards? Where is taste? Where is safety?

We did a pickup order and the service was awesome. The staff was fast and courteous! The food was awesome! Great burgers, fries and the onion rings were perfect! Well definitely be back!

Food is usually good and the servers themselves are kind and hardworking, but wow service at the front counter is downright rude. There’s a man that typically is at the front is rude to people picking up takeout orders. He will go out of his way to help customers that dine in before he even acknowledges that takeout customers are standing there waiting to be helped.I picked up an order I called ahead for takeout. There was a man (he wasn’t wearing a name tag or anything otherwise I WOULD put his name down here) at the front counter and he said nothing to me when I walked in. He only made eye contact with me then looked the other way as if he didn’t see me. So I went up to the counter and introduced myself as picking up an order. He only said “Name.” In an annoyed tone and got my order.THEN as he started to ring me up, a dine-in customer came up to pay her bill and waited behind me. He immediately canceled out ringing me up and called her over to help her instead and essentially had me move to the side so he can help her DESPITE the fact he actually halfway through ringing me up? Don’t think I’ll be eating here anymore since there have been multiple occasions where I’ve received treatment like this before from here.

This was our first time here.our waiter Elder was awesome.The service was awesome .The farmersOmelet was delicious. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DINNER TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILYTHE OWNER IS AWESOME.YOU HAD TO CHECK OUT THIS DINNER. I FEEL THIS THE BEST DINNER ON LONG ISLAND!!!

Great service! Very Clean! Brunch kept my family full till forever. Loved it will go again.

We like the diner, as its close by. The meal we had, BBQ pulled pork was ok, large chunks of pork and not enough sauce. The BBQ pulled chicken wasnt that great. It included large dark meat chicken which isnt what we expected. Also not enough sauce. Didnt taste good when I reheated the leftovers. We know not to order these two items again.

Decided to try this place. Waited over an hour for an order. Everything seemed fine and then as the order was being picked up, I get notified it was canceled. They closed. Never again.

Any time I have any kind of meal here, always delicious! Great burgers and ice cream sodas too!!

Really nice diner. Great breakfast menu which you van get all day. Gonna have to go back and try another menu item. Staff very attentive and friendly. My first time here but certainly not my last

Very good food, and the staff is very nice and takes care of you well. My father and I have been using their take out service and now their outdoor seating. Indoor seating is also available, but we enjoy the outdoor option. Try the waffle with chocolate chips, ice cream, and whipped cream - its delicious!

Great customer service, nice diner. Food was outstanding! Definitely recommend stopping in. Was my first time in New York, and I wasnt disappointed! Thank yall, Keep up the good work!

Nice community diner. Great food, fast friendly service and most importantly a well laid out menu. Pricing is fair and it is always clean. Its a great break from the ever expanding fast food places that are so ever present

Delicious bacon cheese fries, different Mac & cheese flavors (Buffalo chicken was awesome) and burgers!

Very friendly fast courteous service. Our breakfasts were perfect. Plenty of food. Fairly priced. Diner is very clean.

The food is always amazing. Great atmosphere and decent prices. Everything we have tried there we would order again. Great diner to check out!

I have literally never had good food from here...but today topped it off. I got eggs benedict and ordered everything well done. The hollandaise was basically lemon water. thin, bright yellow and tasted like straight up lemon juice. my english muffin was barely even toasted. The eggs which i asked for hard, were as soft as possible, and covered in water. My entire plate was soggy. Completely inedible. Worst worst diner food I have ever had on Long Island. Servers also have no idea whats on the menu. Awful experience.

A pleasant atmosphere and pleasant staff who pay attention to your needs. The food was good and was very reasonably priced. Will continue to be going to this diner as my go to.

Always great food, try tge breakfast skillets they are amazing as well as the mile high meatloaf. Friendly staff and its always nice and clean!

Absolutely fell in love with the food and the place. Will definitely return.

Wonderful place food was excellent. Service great

Generally very good food experience here. Of course I have to whine a little, its Google. Pizza burger ordered for delivery Sunday, 5/9 was good, except isnt it supposed to come with tomato sauce on it? It did not. The cheese was the only hint that it might be a little different than a regular burger.

Great prices, great food. Nothing more to ask for in a diner. I love this place.

Excellent food and service. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Best all around.

A nice diner where you feel like they care. Anything Ive ever had was really good. They have outdoor dining now too. Recommend.

Normally everything is great. I’ve orders multiple items from the menu with my wife and never have had an issue. Until today. Ordered Nachos (for delivery) and am very disappointed. Not leaving a review to bash but I want someone to see this and make an effort to do better. Nachos came in a big plastic salad bowl and was entirely filled with cheese, guacamole and everything it was supposed to be only is was a complete mess. Every nacho was soggy... too much of everything in the bowl. The cheese was light and airy like the cheese from the 7-11 cheese machine (not typical thick cheese for nachos) the guacamole was super thin and watery and mixing with the cheese making a cereal bowl of soggy chips with cheese and guacamole substituting milk. Tomatoes weren’t diced they were sliced into giant chunks. And everything was room temperature or below upon arrival. I would recommend using better ingredients next time and trying to compartmentalize the toppings on top of the nachos instead of just filling the bowl with cheese and guacamole. If you can’t pull this off then may I suggest just putting everything on the side as a standard for delivery for quality assurance sake so everyone has no one to blame but themselves for soggy chips. Please do better island lake. Very disappointed this time. I hope someone cares enough to make a change.

Classic diner, good food, (I recommend the specialty omelettes & Reuben wraps) attentive fast service, always greeted by the same gentleman every time we go. They seat you fast even when it’s busy. My favorite diner by far.

Place is always packed and I dont know why,... Food to me is cheaply made ... Decor is 70s look people are nice... I dont know maybe its just me

Nice and clean place,good service and good food.

Food was good but not exceptional. Service was very good. Doesnt compare to other diners we go to.

The food is always good and the staff are very friendly. Anyone that I introduced to this diner they always want to come back.

Loved the breakfast menu. Different items than most diners.Food and service were excellent.

Good food, big portions

Food was great. Atmosphere and decor was nice. I had the goulash and my son had the seafood pasta.

Waiter was great but i ordered chicken and waffles and was only brought the waffles when i asked where my chicken was she went to check on it and came back to tell me they didnt have fried chicken. Bit of a disappointment. Waffles were ok not the best.

Good food. Good service.Great combination.

Great food and great service. Always a nice time.

I recently discovered this diner and Ive been every day for the last three days, its so good! Excellent food and exceptional service, love the spinach pie, affordable breakfast options and they have my new favorite salad.The consistency is however lacking, which is a shame because some of the food is decent quality, but its hit or miss.

Everything a great diner should be. Great food, reasonable prices.

Great service and food was great too!

I will give 5 stars because I really like this place a lot the food is great service is good. I usually order to go and my order is usually same price I get chicken tenders with disco fries on side but gravy on side (which gravy comes with disco fries) but randomly they been charging me extra for gravy when it’s the old guys taking my order.... I don’t mind bc the food is good but It’s a little annoying that they are the only ones who charge me for it when it literally comes with mozzarella fries disco fries whatever you want to call it lol. But overall will go back and recommend this place. The salads to go are HUGE and delicious so I’m sure seating there they are big also and even better.

Social distancing and masks were required. All booths had shields between them.Food is delicious. Breakfast is always awesome. Staff is friendly and helpful!

Staff was nice, but the waiter seriously rushed us to order. And the food was below subpar. Absolutely no taste or flavor. And I mean don’t get me wrong, I do not expect diner food to not be greasy, but I expect it to not be swimming in grease either . My husband got a steak, it was basically raw and no taste, we tried to say something but they seemed too busy . We wound up bringing the food home to doctor it ourselves it was so bad.I do not recommend this.

We went to go see my daughter we shopped and then we were hungry so I asked her wheres the nearest diner and she said ooh theres a real good one around the corner so thats where we went and it was delicious 4@ table 54

Great service and food was amazing!! Definitely recommend going there!

Absolutely the best food around, 5 star service and super super clean.

Always a pleasure eating here. Nothing but smiles and great food. Been going there for years, will be going there for years to come

The food was good,and the service 👍

We ordered from here aka “harbor q smoke house” off Uber eats. Thinking this was a smoke house with real bbq. When we went to pick it up turns out it was a dinner that called them selves harbor q smoke house. The food was terrible. I’m so disappointed and feel like this is false advertisement or something. Every single thing we ordered was not good.

⚡Lisa - Awful demeanor. Terrible service. Over an hour wait, just for pick up order. And still wasnt ready.- Lisa Lichelle 🤠 👎😑

Super hungry and got some brunch left feeling very filled!

Food is very good. Management make sure customers are seated quickly and servers do a great job.

Very good food and service

The staff is great and goes above and beyond. The amount of food is enormous and enough for at least 2 meals, great value.

I like the food here but the service is poor. Today will make the third time they mess up my order. The lady with the red curly hair who rings you up is extremely unprofessional. When I told her my order was wrong, she immediately became defensive and gave me an attitude. I did not understand where the attitude came from because I spoke to her nicely. She proceeded to correct my order, after it was fixed she threw the bag of food at me and walked away. I’m pretty she doesn’t care, she seems like one of the owners to the diner. It suck because this is the only close diner to my house and there food is good. I don’t know if I’ll be going back.

What is the point of sitting everyone at every other table if the woman who is sitting us is wearing her mask below her nose the entire time. Then she took my debit card and not use a machine the customer can use like most places. If she doesnt care enough to wear her mask properly, my debit card takes a hand sanitizer bath smh. Masks up ppl !

Never a bad experience here. Great service, great food. I highly recommend this diner.

I just ate their Thanksgiving Burger and wow!!!! Its a delicious seasoned turkey burger with stuffing and gravy on a bun topped with two huge onion rings with a side of fries and cranberry sauce. I added two sunny side up eggs to my burger and let me tell you, that was one bad motherclucker! So delicious, cant wait to go back!

As always, the food and service is always fantastic.....thats still my favorite Diner on the Island.

Food and service was great.

They are usually good but two days in a row they got me messed up! They missed my sausages one day and because of my complaint on DoorDash the next day I’m sure they deliberately sent me uncooked grits and buttered and cut my bread with their hands! Disgusted

I really did love this place until I received my final doordash delivery this morning, from Island lake Diner. Ok i order some home fries, pancakes with sausage. Food was a liitle above cold regarding food temperature. They also give you syrup and jelly with ketchup and butter packets, here is where I ran into a bigger health concern. The smuckers strawberry packet I received was inside an already used strawberry packet. Another words someone used a packet and put a new packet ontop of used packet. Well lake diner sent the doubled up packet with all new packets. My wife called to advised them that we were unhappy that food was cold but the call was really just to let them know that they need to pay attention to what they are doing with food and condiments.So now the guy starts to yell at my wife which I think is wrong. We were not asking for refund or anything we just wanted them to be aware of the situation and pay attention. I would spend hundreds there especially since Covid and their food has been amazing. Especially the chicken with the stuffed crab filling but unfortunately this was the last time. I will ever eat from Lake diner and you know what is sad about it is the fact that all the guy had to do was say I apologize and thank you for letting us know but he didnt. So goodbye lake diner. Oh! I also called the suffolk county health supervisor and let him know about the situation.

Best diner around! Always good food and service. Their homemade chicken noodle soup is excellent!

The challah bread French toast was good as was the classic eggs benedict. Even the coffee was good and strong.

Great portion size. The food was delicious, and the waitress was very friendly. Cant wait to go back 👍

How could anyone mess up breakfast? Food arrived cold, home fries had a bitter taste, waitress overwhelmed as she was the only one working the Saturday breakfast run she didnt even check to see if anything else was needed. Not sure what happened but this experience was different from my time spent during dinner, but not sure if I will be going back

Their Omelettes are the BEST on the planet. The owners and staff are all pleasant, polite, efficient and very friendly. A great experience with reasonable prices.

I thought it was going to be better, I havent been to a diner in a few years. Im missing the Suffolk diner in Centereach

Friendly staff and clean...and the avocado BLT wrap was delicious. I had enough for a 2nd meal.

Awesome food fantastic service

Good food, pleasant staff

I like the atmosphere & the staff was very friendly. The diner was very clean & practiced high quality social distancing. The food was just ok. The homefries were on the softer side, while I prefer them on the crisper side.

French onion soup tasted like SOAP. The steak sandwich ordered med rare was over cooked steakumms or spare parts from an old steak. Food missed the target by a mile. People somewhat nice. Amazing Greek salad with NO feta cheese really hit the vomit spot. You have got to be kidding me. This place is sure to close because of covid is gross and will make you sick. Prob a Starbucks coming soon to this spot. Repeat ????? NEVER

Always good. Tonight it was wings... kicking bourbon mango wings. Outstanding.

Great food, staff was excellent and professional. Highly recommend the breakfast.

My dinner was good, and the manager was very nice. Dont want to leave out the waitress, she was very attentive also. If your in the area a good place to eat.

Love this place. Great tasting variety of food and huge portions. Always excellent and attentive service.

Excellent food and service nice portions as well

Growing up in Islip and having the luxury of great diners like ocanee I knew I had to find a great diner by my new place in Ronkonkoma, finally found it. This place has amazing food and great service and I will continue to support them for years to come. I’ve ordered so many times from them now and EVERY SINGLE TIME the food and service was on point. Would give 100 stars if I could bravo

The food is extremely delicious! The prices are reasonable. Service is good.

Used to be so much better. It appears that they’re having a rough time dealing with the new way of doing business. I hope they work it out. They are nice people.

Very good food was excellent and the waiter was very friendly

First time I was ever there food and service was great definitely going back

Food was delicious, and had large portions. Plenty to take home for leftovers! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable

Got a skillet for take out. It came with a 2 coarse thread screw.

Food always good but can get good help

Always good whenever I can get there

Today I ordered a new york wrap I asked for cheddar cheese they put swiss instead and I asked for 8 dollars for change and the delivery driver kepted looking at my change and kepted asking for his tip so I felt obligated meanwhile there down the block from my job and have the nerve to charge 2 dollar tip spoke with GUS he said next time hell give me 10% off my order but there wont be a next time .

Food (breakfast)was excellent and service was perfect

The old Greek guy who works the door is extremely rude. They are more concerned with take out orders than dine in customers. Go someplace else...

Love the service, love the food, the price. The outside dining is so nicely done. Would recommend to anyone.

Local diner, came with 4 others after a movie and all pleasantly surprised. Service great, gratis pasta salad delicious. Extensive menu choices and everyo very pleased with entrees. Desserts at diners often look better than they are. Not so here. All excellent and a wide choice. Order go to the local movie and may become regulars.

Excellent meal, fast n courteous staff and awesome food.

Good food fast service
