What a Gem! Just had breakfast there. Coffee was hot and food was amazing. Maple syrup was hot. Michael was a wonderful server! If you need a place to meet regularly with good friends this is it! Good thing I don’t live close I’d be there everyday!
The best dinner in town, easily. Great service, great food.
The food and service was excellent! Portion sizes were also really big. I love the classic diner vibes as well, will definitely be coming back.
Great diner. The corned beef has was fire. Cant wait to try more stuff. Service was nice and also fast
Great place for a traditional American breakfast. I enjoy their eggs, pancakes, bacon, turkey bacon, toast and corned beef hash. It’s fast and friendly service in a simple traditional small diner setting.
Good farmers omelette and home fries were made perfect. Would definitely recommend.
The food was great, the staff was friendly and the service was fast. I would definitely recommend and visit again.
Stopped in on a Sunday at around noon to grab a quick (late) breakfast to go before hitting the road back to New Jersey. Everyone working there that we interacted with seemed very friendly, and we probably placed our order and got the food within 5 minutes. It was that quick. I just had a sausage and cheese on a roll. I wish the cheese was more melted, but not a huge deal. Hubby got a sausage, egg, and cheese wrap and added bacon, and he said it served its purpose.
I haven’t been here since I was a kid. Came back over the weekend after 15yrs! It’s great to know the service and food haven’t changed. Mike is very friendly and so is the rest of the staff. I also love how they’ve kept the interior the same. It’s very nostalgic and appealing. I will be coming back more frequently.
Not bad at all large servings great service very nice guys
Great food @ reasonable prices. Short stack with bacon (5 perfectly done slices!), including a small juice and coffee for 11 bucks. Cant beat it.
A historic part of Mineola since 1948, this diner is very nostalgic for me. The last time I was there was in 1965 as a young high school senior with 3 of my friends looking for a good meal! That was more than a half a century ago, and the food was as good then as it is now.You get a real family feeling from Mike and the other wait staff, the food is fresh and tasty. Enjoy!
Food is always well prepared and prices are very reasonable. Love coming to this spot. You just cant beat it!
Simple old school diner. GREAT food, great friendly service. You cant go wrong, very reasonable prices. Try the blueberry pancakes.
Great neighborhood diner. The place has good food, decent prices, and friendly staff
First time here and Im definitely coming back! Michael was great and the food came out super fast. Bacon tasted fresh homefries were on point(add grilled onions u wont regret it). I love the small intimate diners such as this one. See you guys soon!
Quaint, Friendly Staff .... Food was Good! Check out the Cinnamon Apple Pancakes! Delish!
Great variety of food options. I have never been disappointed
Home cooking good value

Good EatingThis is a very nice, comfortable place to enjoy breakfast & lunch with a wide array of selections, the food is tasty and cooked the way you want. Its a nice place to chat with friends and family
History, history, history. Very comforting. Food was really good. Pleased with the price. From mid 1940s and still champions of Mineola. Thanks for the wonderful time and warming service.
I felt human eating in this neighborhood fixture I highly recommend it
Mineola Diner is a great spot delicious local diner food. The prices are right, coffee is delicious and the casual atmosphere is perfect for families with young kids. We love their unique specials as well as their daily fare. We frequent this gem and will continue to do for years to come.
Amazing home cooked food even down to the corned beef hash.very few make hash homemade anymoreLove their new renovations and Amazing Brunch menus. Always something new every week.
Delicious specials menu thats different every time... This is the best diner in the area hands down. The eggs Benedict is my favorite
Always delicious. Creative menu. Our go to breakfast joint.
Locally owned... awesome, friendly staff... Great food, great value. Love this plaxe
Burgers are good. Breakfast even better. Sit in the front of the diner, on old fashioned stools at the counter. Or, booth, both are comfy. But, you want to get a feel for the place, that nostalgic era. Sit in the back, you will see its modern with large views. Whether youre alone or with a friend or two,you will be comfortable. The employees know the regulars and their meal requests, this is nice to see. Pricing is reasonable, this is refreshing. The bathroom is tiny, cant have everything.
I really enjoyed that spot! Great food, lovely lady serving us. Small and cozy. We didnt have a wait on a Saturday morning.
Amazing canolie stuffed French toast! Friendly service
Great specialy breakfast menu, friendly staff and most of all delicious!
Small little diner. Very friendly. Came years ago with family and then stopped. I am glad we are coming back here again. They are still so nice and remember you.
Its okay place two stars for being just okay maybe its cause I dont look like them Guido
10 outa 10 the best place in town!
Love this place! Always great food, friendly people, great service 😀
Nice small old-school diner that does a great breakfast. Staff is friendly. Had a great egg sandwich and coffee there in the morning.
Just left this great little diner. Not only was the food delicious the server was hilarious and super nice. They made us feel like we have been going there for years. We will definitely be back .
Food was pretty good but pricing was a bit on the expensive side. Our waitress was a really cute old woman who was super sweet. She made sure we were well taken care of and offered us coffee or tea as soon as we sat down. A pretty quaint joint if you ask me. Would love to come here again.
5*****!! Excellent service, good quality food that is reasonably priced. Would recommend anytime.
Great place for breakfast..
My wifes and my favorite diner in a county full of great diners. Great breakfasts, all the classics plus some great original items. The structure is beautiful; this is an original old-fashioned diner, low-key and friendly. The food is perfectly cooked and delicious, there is a chef cooking here. Great atmosphere, great staff, always welcoming. Strongly recommend you try this place.
Good food, fun staff. Its what a retro diner should be. I always look forward to the weekly specials menu, which has a lot of unique dishes you wont find anywhere else — like Pop-Tarts pancakes and Oreo waffles!
Great food and prices. Cozy and old-fashioned. I love it!
I passed this diner a few times an liked the old diner style look, so one day I stopped in. The vintage style look continued on the inside as well, booths were tight but comfortable. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was great and presented well. I think that the prices are on par with any other dinner. In the end the overall experience was good and I would go back to eat there
Been one of my favorite places to go for a eggs or pancakes. Has an oldschool diner vibe and is a landmark in mineola. Its existed since before I was alive. I drive past hear and see it all the time and although I dont stop in as often as Id like to I enjoy it every single time.
A gem! I go here frequently for Sunday brunch. They vary the specials / brunch menu and the different kinds of pancakes are creative and delicious. It is owner- run and worked. They are as friendly as can be. A family feel, quick service and charming historical venue. Recently renovated and expanded. Very reasonable prices.
Very helpful and pleasant staff. Clean. Good menu. More about comfort food, which I love . Good prices Very Tasty Good value.
Food is amazing and the people are always super nice. We stop by every chance we are in the neighborhood ;)
Mineola Diner is my favorite breakfast place. With the perfectly cooked Eggs Benedict, and the amazing Chocolate Chip Pancakes, this place is all around delicious! The cozy seating and the warm lights really mix great with the food. Im always happy to eat here!
Excellent food and service
Good food. Cozy place. Nice people. Renovated. Excellent and quaint. Mom and mine favorite haunt
Great place Great people Community of Mineola is lucky to have such an historic diner.Menu is greater diner fare.
Cute little diner, the food was ok wasn’t that good. Service was good. The seating was a bit cramped but other than that it’s great if you don’t want to cook and want fast breakfast.
Great staff! Very friendly owners. Good & quick service. Very good food. Love the classic feel.
Family and I came out for breakfast. I ordered the blueberry pancakes they were absolutely amazing. Food came out very quickly waitress was amazing I would highly recommend this place to anybody.
Ever since I tried them for breakfast, they have been my go to spot for breakfast and lunch. They deliver very quickly and they always double check on everything to make sure the order is perfect. I love this place. No other diner in the area even close!! Great job!
Great breakfast here and hopd ppl
Greatest diner staff has been a gem for many years.Food great and reasonable prices
Great place. Food was a amazing and Mineola dinner has never failed me in great taste since I’ve been going here for many years.
This place is hailed as the Worlds smallest diner. While not entirely the case, it is a smaller diner than most I have been to. That being said, the food is excellent and the service good. If there is room at a booth or the bar, I will definitely be spending my weekend mornings here when able!
Cute little place that has all the basics and some really interesting options. Also, they make the best Reuben Ive ever had
Love this place nice people good food
Real old school diner. Very nice brunch menu. Real egg creams too! Small, not too many tables, but eating at the counter is fun.
My home away from home when visiting Long Island. Best food ever amazing breakfast and lunch combinations
A reminder of life when was simply wonderful and a chance to eat out was a special treat!
Great food and great service. Decor is good. It hails back to 40s and 50s.
Excellent food and service.
Small place, great food, great services and great prices compared to other diners!
Great eggs
Great food. Shane and Mike are wonderful.
Quick service with excellent ethic. They have EXCELLENT BURGERS AND THE FRIES ARE FIRE. But i have to say the breakfast pancakes are delicious.
Best diner. It’s like going home to breakfast with the family. Awesome food. Try the cannoli stuffed French toast.
True home cooking and just a comfortable place to eat. Plus love the fun and friendly staff. Best place for Saturday morning.
Scrambled eggs were rubber although I didnt ask for them to be hard and the homemade hash had a unusual texture and lacked flavor. I was surprised as I have eaten there in the past, albeit a year to two years ago, maybe they are under new management. I was very disappointed. They wont be seeing me anymore.
Good food and nice people. Perfect breaky place.
I tapped one because something had to be hit. The place was cold, service was poor. The coffee was terrific
Ok food. Old style diner
Great little gem diner which we enjoy occasionally when visiting from Queens for few years now.From the first time we visited, the staff remembered what we ordered and the ads on, likes and dislikes; i was floored. (months had gone by before our return).We were there again 2 weeks ago after a very long time and we enjoy the addition room expansion.Old fashion diner and fun people there. Locals and the occasional folks like us.Because I order take out when taking classes at the pottery studio near by, it doesnt disappoint and... I was asked if I wanted my usual!(again amazing memory)!!I decline this time to try something different!😊Food is fresh, well prepared and its consistent w its quality.The affordable prices make you feel youve got a steal!😀TY,Mike and Team🤗
Never short of excellent
Love this diner everything is so fresh and delicious
New and improved. Big makeover. Food still good. Nice stools at the counter. Miss the grunge look. Sort of.
When they said thick cut bacon they meant thick cut bacon! And when I asked for eggs over easy I got to my office and it was over easy not well done not runny perfect yolks. I asked for home fries and they were awesome not too much onion no damn paprika just plain let me add the salt and pepper potatoes. Breakfast so simple its perfect that level of simple is an art form. Thank you guys.However the coffee needs some Colombian beans give it a kick, a morning jump. Otherwise damn good, I am looking forward to coming back.
Love these guys!
Such a fun walk back in time. The service was great and the food was good.
The cutest lil diner eva and good service and food
Excellent breakfast! Great service!
The put out great choice for breakfast. They just expanded the place. Looks great.. a must try.
Mike and Shane do an incredible job of making you feel welcome. From the moment you walk in and they greet you by name to the moment you leave, its a very family friendly place.
