Carle Place Diner is a home run! I was shocked on how good my dinner was tonight. Service was awesome and I will definitely come back. Menu has something for everyone. Give it a Try! read more

We were in the area on July 4th and decided to stop here for lunch. It was me, my husband, and our two daughters. The restaurant was pretty empty, which we assumed was because of the holiday. We were greeted right away and seated in a booth. Personally, I found the booth to feel a little closed in, and I wish I had asked for a regular four-person table instead. Our menus and waters were brought out promptly. After ordering, my husband and I were served pickles and coleslaw. My husband enjoyed the pickles, but the coleslaw was pretty bland and dry. My husband ordered the steak panini with potato salad. He said the sandwich was good, but the steak could have used a lot more seasoning and flavor. The potato salad, however, was delicious. I ordered a panini as well. The sandwich itself was good, but it came without any mayo or other condiment, so the bread tasted a little dry. Even a bit of pesto or aioli would have made a big difference. Our 13-year-old ordered the chicken and waffles, and the portion was enormous! It came with four pieces of chicken and a huge waffle. She really enjoyed it. Our 9-year-old ordered the s'mores pancakes and absolutely loved them. They came with plenty of butter and syrup on the side. The menu advertised Jarritos sodas, but unfortunately they didn't have the flavor one of my daughters wanted, so she chose strawberry instead. My youngest ended up getting an apple juice, and I was honestly shocked when I saw it was $5.25 on the bill. Our waiter was excellent throughout the meal. He was attentive, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed. One disappointment was the fountain Coke. I don't drink soda very often, but every now and then I love an ice-cold fountain Coke. Unfortunately, this one was flat. The restroom was clean, but the tables felt a little sticky, and the jukebox didn't appear to be working. Overall, we had a pleasant experience thanks to the friendly service and the generous portions. There are a few things the restaurant could improve, especially with seasoning, condiments on the sandwiches, and checking things like the soda machine and table cleanliness. We'd consider coming back if we're in the area again, but we'd probably try different menu items next time. read more

Call me biased but whenever adults treat the babies well, its an automatic addition of 1-2 stars. They even included their own sippy cups. The portions were solid, staff is super attentive, and we were able to pack leftovers on the long ride home. Hands down a place you would want to revisit again and again with the fam. read more

Typical Metro area diner.

One of us was craving a breakfast diner experience, but we wanted to try somewhere new--someplace we had never been before. So, we headed toward the town of Garden City, and soon enough, we spotted a cozy spot on a corner: Carle Place Diner. From the moment we arrived, it felt inviting. The diner's art-deco style gave it a nostalgic yet fresh vibe, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a satisfying meal. The menu was diverse, offering classic breakfast dishes, sandwiches, hearty entrees, and an array of tempting desserts and cocktails. That combination of breakfast with a side dessert and a splash of cocktails was exactly what we were craving. Well not all in one visit. Our service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the egg white spinach omelet, and it was cooked to perfection. Overall, it was a delightful new find, and we left with a positive dining experien read more

Upon entering I love the old school diner vibe. The service was great. There only issue is attention to details in the kitchen. Not sure where the disconnect was but the orders were not prepared to our request. Instead of sunny up they were over. CBH was under instead of we. Home fries were called instead of hot. Little things like this matter. The banana French toast was good. read more

Most Long Island Diners are pretty much the same... with the same menu, so I like to rate these establishments based on the team working and prompt service. The Carle Place diner seems to have mastered both these items while also serving well prepared, tasty food. I have been coming to this diner since I was a teen. New owners and remodeling but the same view. The diner is big and bright and I was greeted with a hello and smile. I was there as part of a part of two so we had a nice table where we could sit, speak and catchup up. Our waitress greeted us moments after we walked in offered suggestions. Great tasty egg omelette and tasty hash browns. Very easy and very good. I will have to make this shop a more frequently visited spot and and I'm looking forward to some more enjoyable meals.

As far as Long Island diners go this one is about as good as it gets! Great service, house made burgers, not the frozen Pattie's you get at other places, food not drowned in salt, cole slaw and pickle to start. Getting in an out of the parking lot is tricky and parking kind of sucks. They could use an update/interior remodel but I'm not coming here for the scenery. Show up hungry and leave satisfied. read more

Came here for a work lunch. I was pleasantly surprised for a NY diner they actually had options under 15 dollars in the menue but I tire form plenty of 15 dollars and up options. The portions were large as expected. Service was decent. It was pretty quiet for an afternoon on a weekday. Had the chicken salad platter. I wish it came with toast and not crackers. They were willing to change but didn't have the bread i wanted. Four ppl 67 bucks ... read more

The pizza burger was delicious until I found a few strings in it. I know cheese is sometimes stringy but either this was weird cheese or it was just STRING! Of course if couldn't finish it and ordered a sandwich (not meat). When I asked for the check the waiter started to laugh. Just a strange experience read more

Located not far from our hotel, we wanted something simple and fast for lunch. My daughter knows we like diner food and had suggested Carle Place Diner, so we opted to try it. I ordered a Greek Salad with chicken. As usual, it was a huge salad... too much for me to eat in one sitting. While it was decent enough, the chicken was a bit dry for my liking, and the dressing wasn't anything spectacular (like I've had elsewhere on Long Island). The salad was certainly edible and filled me up, but it was nothing award-winning, either. With so many dining options on Long Island, I think I'll give this place a pass in the future, no matter how convenient it might be. read more

The cheeseburger with sautéed onions was good. I did not like the quality of the bun though. It came with coleslaw and a pickle on the side. Both were good. The cheesecake tasted good. It was creamy and not too sweet. read more

I've been to this diner a couple of times, and each experience raised some concerns. For example, ordering a well-done burger but receiving it severely undercooked and bleeding or getting a chef salad that consisted of sparse meats heavily rolled in cheese. i decided to give it one more chance and On that visit, the food was the last straw for me; I'll never return to that place. I ate three bites of my hamburger and three fries before my stomach started hurting, I felt nauseous, and my mouth began to water. I had to excuse myself from the table and literally go outside to throw up. I was sick and vomiting for 24 hours I realize negative reviews can cast a bad light on establishments, but I felt this was necessary. Maybe the owner needs to review what's happening in the kitchen read more

The food was fresh and homemade. I had strawberry cheesecake and Irish coffee. My friend was more hungry and had the cheeseburger deluxe. My cake was an utter delight. My coffee had a lot of Irish in it. My friend's fries weren't as hot as he likes it, but that was the only criticism we could muster. They even put the cheese on both sides. The waitress was friendly and professional. The ambiance was your basic diner. Nothing fancy, but clean. X Will definitely be returning again. read more

was really disappointed. We were pretty much ignored when we walked in and the owner was talking to other customers. finally shown a booth and ordered right away. It was about 9 o'clock at night not very busy at all. Got some coleslaw, chickpea salad, and pickles to start. pickles were good. The coleslaw and chickpea salad had no taste at all. Took too long for our hot open turkey and French dip to come out. French dip was on an awful oversized soft hero roll, not enough roast beef and very greasy grilled onions. The sweet potato fries tasted like dish soap had spilled on them and were inedible. $70 with a tip is ridiculous. read more

This place is more a 4 1/2, but certainly not a 4. Not from this visit. The server was fast to come over and was very attentive. Nachos came properly, they took off what we asked to be taken off, and they were really good. The burger shines. Cheese on both bun sides, plenty of mushrooms and onion, and enough bacon to leave you happy. I asked for my burger rare, and was not in the least disappointed. This is a place I see very often going to and from Westbury, and I am disappointed in myself for never trying it until now. Great food, great service, will definitely be back. read more

It really kills me to leave this review because I come to this diner on a weekly basis. I love the Mediterranean Garden Salad and ordered one for pick up today. After I started eating the salad, I noticed a living, crawling bug in the salad. Immediately called CP diner and asked if I can come back after work for a refund. When I got there, the host told me they wouldn't refund the salad and I would have to just order something else. Really did not want ANY food after seeing a bug.... Anyone else would have thrown a fit and been nasty. That's not my character. I understand things happen. Unfortunately, keeping my $23 for a salad was more important than keeping your regular customer happy. Not to mention- I probably won't be eating salad for awhile after this... Sorry CP diner but you lost one of your regular customers over $23. read more

Typical Long Island diner. Food is okay but I've been to better diners. Very busy given it's near all the shopping malls. Service is fine.

Been coming here for too many years. Found the food and service way above average. However, I am so disappointed that I will probably not come back. I ordered my usual chef salad and it took so long. The dressing I requested which is balsamic came with large pieces of fresh garlic! I already poured it on my salad! The cold cuts were far from generous as well as the lack of quality salad. Tomatoes tasted old and soggy. My wife's fe ordered a chicken salad sandwich which came on a large plate with nothing else! In the past it came with something. If you changed your food or quality of it, your waiters should suggest additional options. read more

This is a good alternative to another, very popular diner in the neighborhood. I enjoyed my lox eggs Benedict very much which had a generous amount of lox, which is uncommon in most places. I didn't like the hash browns potatoes which were tasteless and did not have anything to enhance the flavor. The coffee was very good, although I drink decaf. Our waiter and other staff were professional. There is plenty of available parking. The detraction, which had nothing to do with the food or service, is related to indulgent parents who allow their children to run around a restaurant as if it were a park. read more

I'm surpised by the 3 star avg. review. But a diner like this that has been in carle place for many years probably has gone through some service changes and food quality changes. At this point in 2021 it's been great! Hence the 5 stars. Good service, friendly, efficient. Clean place and wonderful breakfasts. Definitely go for the french toast. It's on challah bread which is even eggier. Love it. Also any of the egg dishes are fine. Fluffy scrambled eggs with great corn beef hash. Nice well cooked bacon and sausage. Also toast and potato hash browns. It's a huge platter and wonderful price point for tons of great delicious food. Great hot cup of coffee and good fresh squeezed OJ. Will be back for sure. read more

I like this diner because it's a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious. I got the fried appetizer combo as my meal and it was delicious. The buffalo wings were flavorful but they were not spicy.
