Western omelette side of sausage
Emily B.

I travel for work and when in Garden City, I always try and stop at Carle Place diner for breakfast. Service is fantastic and the food is delicious.

Not your regular Croque Madame/Monsieur

Typical Metro area diner. Food was decent - service was a bit questionable, but again I get the NY appeal when it comes to delivering customer service with a notch of attitude... ambiance was ok... food can be presented better - times are changing and people appreciate a plate that calls attention.

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

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.

A tasty American Cheese Omelette with tasty well done potatoes.

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. KUDOs to the team at the Carle Place Diner

Buffalo Chicken Specialty Wrap
Kristin W.

Sat down at a table right away. Wasn't too busy which was nice for dinner. It was quiet in there. Waters and menus were handed out right away. Waiter was so sweet and kept coming over refilling water. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. They did put tomato's in my wrap when I asked them not to. Fries were so good and not greasy at all. It was delicious! Food came out quick and was hot! Everything was fresh. I would go back again!

High end diner . Nice ambiance. Friendly service. Enjoyed our desserts. Still has juke boxes at tables. Plenty of perking and convenient location.

Is this a very busy diner? Every time my husband and I pass it looks deserted.

Very busy diner! I've been coming here for about 2 years and during the week is always busy. Weekends are jammed!

I haven't stepped foot in a diner in over 20 years. Every time I tried in the past, it was the same…read morestory: overpriced food, lousy quality, and a dying culture kept alive only by Instagram trends. I am so glad this place proved me wrong. They stick to their traditional roots and put real heart into their food. The home fries are seasoned to perfection--crispy on the edges with a soft, perfectly cooked interior. While the eggs on their own are standard, pairing them with their hollandaise, Canadian bacon and an English muffin turns it into an absolute home run. The real star, though, was the pecan banana bread buttermilk pancakes. I was initially worried it would just be a lazy sprinkling of pecans on top, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The pancakes were pillowy soft with banana chunks inside, and--the ultimate game-changer--served with WARM syrup. Something so simple, yet so rare! Hats off to the chef, owner, line cook. This easily beats any over-hyped "trendy" pancake spot out there. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

WE WERE OVERCHARGED TWICE BY $10! We ordered two omelets, and our check somehow came to $45 with no itemized breakdown. When we questioned it, our server--a petite brunette woman who appeared to be in her late 20s to early 30s--insisted it was correct. After we pushed back, she claimed she had confused our order with a different omelet. There isn't a single omelet on the menu that costs anywhere close to $22 each, and that excuse makes even less sense considering we were the only customers there. She adjusted the bill to $35, but the total should have been less than that as well. Even then, the tax was still wrong. On top of that, they added a credit card fee without any notice. There was no sign, no mention on the menu, and no warning beforehand. The food was just as disappointing. The home fries were mushy and barely edible. Despite overcharging us more than once, our server NEVER APOLOGIZED! Hidden fees, inaccurate charges, terrible service, and mediocre food--this place is a rip-off, and we definitely won't be back.

That being said, on September 23rd I was in search of something new and exciting and I was guided to Thomas's Ham & Eatery. I have passed Thomas's Ham & Eatery over a dozen times, and thought that the parking lot was rather small so I just kept it moving. Driving into the confined area, I found parking immediately with room to spare. Stepping inside of Thomas's Ham & Eater, a wave of happiness hit me--bright, sudden, and uplifting, like the effervescence from a freshly popped bottle of champagne. The happy atmosphere of the dining area was so contagious I immediately followed suit and put on a happy face. Looking around the restaurant and soaking it all in , I saw tons of people enjoying their meal while listening to groovy sounds such as; The Eagles - Peaceful Easy feeling, Bonnie Tyler- Total Eclipse of my heart, and so much more, but I got overly excited when Elton John & Kiki Dee's- Don't Go Breaking My Heart came on. I was in full sing along mode as I was seated. Now, I would love to talk about the food and service. The restaurant was clean and tables were freshly wiped. My waitress provided impeccable service as she stayed in catering mode. She supplied everything that I needed with kindness and passion. She was very patient and did not mind coming back to see when I was actually ready to order after looking over the menu. I went totally off the grid and ordered Cajun Omelette. It consisted of Louisiana Andouille Sausage (LAS), Tomato, Scallions & Green Peppers, and served with Home Fries & Toast- $16.45. Despite the small amount of LAS, the omelette was a grand slam. I really enjoyed it, the home fries had a few peppers and onions and just enough burn to let you know that they were not entirely overcooked but you will have that crunch. I did ask for lite butter on the rye toast, instead I received enough butter to lubricate bicycle gears, I scrapped it off and kept it moving, no harm no foul, keeping a positive vibe. The coffee was just as good and I really enjoyed it as well. I give Thomas's Ham & Eatery 3 1/2 stars but the atmosphere and tone boosts it up to 5 stars, I will definitely be returning for another HAPPY MEAL! Inspire more, Yelp more!

First off, I will say that getting there can be a little confusing if you've never been before…read more Since it's near the train station, the street you have to turn down looks more like a shopping area, so it kind of throws you off and doesn't immediately seem like the correct turn. Other than that little bit of confusion, everything else was good. Because the hospital and several doctor's offices are nearby, you'll notice a lot of hospital workers and people in scrubs coming in for breakfast and lunch, which is always a good sign. Walking in, we were greeted right away and told we could sit wherever we wanted. The service was good, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a diner classic diner ambiance and casual vibes. The food was definitely yummy overall. I had the eggs over medium with corned beef hash and home fries, and that was really good. My partner had the bacon omelet, and he said the quality of the bacon was really good and that they were generous with the amount they put inside the omelet. He also ordered french fries, which he wasn't really a fan of. They had a thicker consistency and didn't have much flavor, but they weren't terrible either. One disappointment was finding out they no longer serve waffles, because I was definitely looking forward to a Belgian waffle. We ended up getting pancakes instead, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend them. The pancake was kind of weird it didn't absorb the syrup at all, and the syrup itself tasted watered down. I'd say stick to the main breakfast items and you'll be perfectly fine.

There is a particular kind of restaurant that understands its job is not to dazzle you into silence…read morebut to make conversation easier. The Shed, on Merrick Avenue, is that kind of place. The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.
