Jumbo cheeseburger deluxe
Andrew S.

Food was great! Waitress, greeter and cashier were nice and the place was upgraded since I've last visited. Ambiance was splendid!

Cheese pull with my French onion soup!

Shooting over an updated review as this diner is still pretty on point and I would be doing people a dis justice if I didn't let people know that they are still putting out good food. I just recently grabbed takeout for the fam from here where I ordered the gyro. Gyro meat with tomatoes and onions on a pita. It comes with rice or fries and I opted for rice and it was a great choice. They cook the rice with veggies like celery and carrots. You can also opt to upgrade and add a Greek salad. Next time we are ordering those potato skins I use to love. I'm sure they still hold up as well! Great location right off sunrise if you need a pit stop when you're heading east!

Tuna Melt Open Sandwiches
Nicole F.

We were seated right away but it took our waiter about ten minutes to come ask for drinks. Drinks and food came out quickly but everything was awful. My hot open faced sandwich was iced cold and the fires were stale and soggy, not even warm. We were sat in a booth in an extremely noisy dining room, which is fine for a diner but it was basically empty so not sure why it was so loud. The manager was nice and took the tuna melt off the bill, but save yourself the money and find another spot to eat.

Side of bacon

My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast. The breakfast menu is smaller than most diners, but we quickly found what we wanted. I had avocado toast and a side of bacon. While there isn't much to avocado toast and they didn't cook it..it was still good. Generous portion of avocado too. The menu stated it was avocado spread, but I was pleasantly surprised it was fresh avocado. There was fresh tomatoes on top as well. Balsamic glaze on the side. I also had a side of bacon. My boyfriend had two eggs with sausage. He enjoyed it and the potatoes on the side were flavorful. Service was good. We both agreed we would be back.

Hot Reuben Sandwich
Tom G.

Decided to try this diner out since I pass it all the time. I got the Reuben sandwich and it was good. Salads were average and wait staff was decent also. Nothing stood out but it filled my diner fix. Pretty good diner overall

After helping my brother get take his car in for the longest oil change in history, he decided to treat me to a late breakfast. I was hungry and it would be free, so how could I say no. He mentioned he knew a place in California.....I joke, it's called "California Diner." He's gone there with work friends and he swears by it. Looks like I'm going to California. You can find it on the service road off Sunrise Highway. It has its own parking, which appeared to be filling up fast. The building itself is dated, but I wasn't there for architecture. Inside the place is big and modern looking. There are plenty of booths around the restaurant. When you're inside you are in front of the hostess stand. It didn't take long to get seated at all. We were seated at a booth facing the highway, which I didn't mind. Seconds later, Lorraine, our waitress came to the table. She was very pleasant and thorough. We gave our orders in right away and within ten minutes it came out, hot! I'm just happy it didn't take two plus hours like the oil change. But this wasn't a car service, this was amazing food! The home fries were my favorite, with the sausage coming in a strong second. I even enjoyed my omelette, they used plenty of cheese (did I ever mention, I love cheese?). I was surprised, my brother picked a great spot. After, when the check came, I saw why he offered to pay. The price was great for the food we got. He pulled a fast one over me. But it was worth it because I enjoyed it. I will be back soon and recommend you try it as well. I'm just upset, my brother said "next time you pay." That next time is our birthday party; I wonder if I can call out sick that day?

Corned Beef Hash, scrambled eggs & French fries

Good service and atmosphere. The food was what is to be expected from a diner (mediocre) but it hit the spot.

Food portion and quality are great. The diner itself seems relatively clean, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is kind and responsive.

George's is rarity these days; an old school luncheonette. So if you like infused water, ancient…read moregrains, avocado whatever and the like, stop reading and head down the street to the endless myriad of other places. But, if you like delicious simple American food at reasonable prices. This is the place for you. Really. Ambiance is simple old school luncheonette. Like out of Life Magazine. And it's spotless and perfect. Service is spot on with a touch of sarcasm, like it should be when everyone seems to know everyone here. Great diner style coffee and super fresh and tasty juices will come out quick and so will your food. Except the home made corned beef hash. You'll wait a few minutes, and just a few extra minutes for that. Because they basically make from scratch on the spot. At least that's what it tastes like. So good So, corned beef hash and eggs is my go to, and it's my nirvana of meals too, but hey I'm a simple fat guy. And it's off the hook Nothing on Long Island comes close. So if you want a real breakfast, make it a point to come here. Today. Don't be like me. I should have started coming here 10 years ago. I didn't and I regret it. Don't waste a decade of your life on lousy breakfasts. No one needs that tribulation. Go today! Tomorrow is never promised and if it doesn't come, be rest assured you just had the best last meal of your life!

Quality food. Neighborly environment. Good service. I especially like their soups and saladsread more

5 Brothers Fried Chicken & Waffles - Curly Fries

5 Brothers Fried Chicken & Waffles

(325 reviews)

Wow...just wow...truly the best fried chicken I've had in a long while. Always pass this place but…read morenever tried it, reason why will be stated at the end of this review. The fried chicken was served hot with warm chicken juices dripping out with every bite. The chicken was well fried and well seasoned. Not overwhelming with spices that at most chicken places the mixture of spices doesn't end well. But these 5 guys got the seasoning just right, subtle and balanced flavor, not just on the outside skin but seasoned straight through to the bone. And the sauce it comes with only enhances the flavor experience. The waffles were excellent, they obviously use the best waffle mixture but most importantly it was not hard or overcooked. I also had the coleslaw which tasted amazingly like homemade. Again nice balanced seasoning with just the right amount of kick. Now here's the sad part...the parking! If these guys relocate to a strip mall with endless parking, they'll have lines out the door all day long. Won't get into the parking details, but if you're not from the area just be prepared to perhaps park a few feet away and walk over. But trust me it's worth it to experience this great fried chicken!.

Don't ever order food over the phone. They answer the phone and speak to you like they don't want…read morethe customers. Last 3 times my order has been completely wrong and they reacted like it's your fault.
