Had a great experience and meal at The Chateau. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and checked up on us regularly. Most of our table ordered Mish salads which we unfortunately forgot to take photos of but everything was delicious. Would return! read more

My friend had been raving about this coffee shop and their famous mish mash, so I finally came to see what the hype was about. The place is small, cozy, and has that old school diner feel. There's counter seating where you can watch the chef cook, along with a few small tables. It seems to be a neighborhood favorite, with lots of locals stopping by to eat. The chicken finger mish mash was my first order. For those unfamiliar, mish mash is basically a finely chopped salad with everything mixed together. Honestly, I didn't really get the hype. It was pretty expensive for what it was, and at the end of the day, it felt like a salad chopped into tiny pieces... I also ordered the Philly burger with mushrooms, swiss cheese, and grilled onions. Unfortunately, this was a letdown. The burger was soggy and oily, while the patty itself was bland, dry, and overcooked! I also found a strand of hair on the cole slaw... (zoom in for hair) I went with half fries and half onion rings. The fries were solid and crispy, while the onion rings were just OK. Meh. Honestly, I probably would've given this place 2 stars based on the food alone, but we showed up just 10 minutes before closing, and the cashier was super nice about it. She reassured us that it was fine and still served us without making us feel rushed. The service was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely appreciated. Overall, the service saved the experience, but the food didn't live up to the hype. read more

I have been coming here for over 20 years. It's cozy and my favorite part of coming to my hometown. They have great breakfasts and burgers but are known for this "mish" salads. Even though it's just a very very chopped salad, there is something about it that is perfect. Everyone is also so friendly. As i mentioned, my favorite part of visiting home read more

Visit Date: December 15, 2020 I have a friend who works here and I promised her I'd pop in during one of my lunch breaks because I work in the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library nearby. She did me a solid and gave me some toothpicks for a friend who's in the hospital now so I figured today was the day to stop by and get that lunch. I had a bacon & cheese omelet with coffee and home fries. It was pretty damn good! The staff was super friendly, my service was pretty fast and everyone was helpful. What more could I ask for. Since it's near the holidays I left a better tip, I try my best to tip fair or good anyway if I can. This is definitely a nice little diner to come visit if you live in the area or are near the area. See Sam if you're in here! read more

An Oldie, but most definitely a Goodie they still have it here and its still very good. Their salads are excellent. read more

Was excited to try this place as everyone raves about it! We arrived and was greeted promptly by Jeffery, who was extremely friendly and attentive. Jeffery knew it was our first time and made our experience great! We were unsure of what dressing to use for our salads and he brought out each one for us to try. I ordered the chicken salad mish and my boyfriend ordered the tuna mish. We also got onion rings and fries. The salads were beautifully chopped but we both felt that the flavoring of the salads was just okay. It was still good and I'm glad we tried it, but wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. If we do, we'll try something different. Thanks for a great first experience! read more

The food was ok, we ordered to go so didn't get the full experience. Ordered French toast and an egg sandwich. It was expensive for an ok taste. read more

This place is cute. They have outside seating covered by a tent, which is great for any kind of weather. The service was good even though I think Jimmy the waiter over charged me ($4.70) for a cup of regular tea(not a specialty tea) because I said I didn't like the taste of the coffee. I ordered a veggie omelette which was good by needed a little Salt & Pepper. My Aunt ordered a bagel & lox and said it was delicious. The other good about this place is the food came out really fast. The only reason I gave it a 4 & not a 5-star is because of the price of the tea. I don't like confrontation so I let it go but I probably won't go back because of it. read more

Mish was delish. Corn Muffins were the best I ever had. Ever. Fries were heaven. Coffee was roasting and hot. Our waitress was friendly. I ordered the BLT mish - turkey club. The dressing is served on the side. This is great because you can add to your liking. The whole wheat pita was a nice compliment. I ordered toasted. Next time, I will order pita that is slightly toasted because it became like a "chip" very crispy. *no bathroom (at least I didn't see one) read more

The best food! Great burgers, eggs and sliced steak sandwich. The owner, Dario, is also entertaining.

i come to new york to visit my grandparents every summer and winter since i was around 13! They always remember me and my family and super sweet plus the food is great read more

So I happened to be in the neighborhood and wanted something other than fast food. Since this shop faces a train station it can be challenging to find a parking spot. Otherwise it was easy to find but is off the main street. When we arrived we were offered the option to eat in or outdoors. They do have a couple of heat lamps outside just in case it gets breezy out. The staff was very courteousness and quick( thanks Jimmy). There were many options to choose from- similar to a diner. The food was good- creamy eggs, hot coffee, great home fries made the way I requested. Due to COVID we were given paper coffee cups and they made it so you don't have to open or close the entry door. Where could they improve? The decor needs updating. Fine for regulars but not if you want to impress anyone. Also- guess it's due to COVID-19-there is no bathroom available. read more

I got the fresh roasted turkey mish for $9.50. I'm not going to lie. it was pretty good but at the same time, it really did seem like just lettuce, tomato, and turkey chopped up in tiny pieces that made it fun to chew and eat. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat around woodmere, I recommend trying the mish at this mom and pop diner/cafe read more

#Food - Excellent; They make it the way you want it. I'm a "Real Pain in the Ass" & always want my scrambled eggs soft, potatoes well done and my toast well done. These guys actually do it. The waitress at the counter was very friendly and polite. Service excellent! Nice people running this place. A bit of a challenge to find, I damn near passed by it. Seems like their is plenty of street parking. I'll be back, this time with my girlfriend. Not sure what "The Mash" was. But, it looks and sounds good! You will enjoy! read more

Chateau Coffee Shop - My Breakfast/Brunch - Excellent! - Sandwiches Near Me - Woodmere, New York

Chateau is your usual neighborhood mom & pop diner. Although the name is a bit deceiving (there's nothing chateau-like about this place), the chopped salads aptly called "the mish" are DELICIOUS. There's just something about a salad from Chateau that is incomparable to salads made at home. Yes, the place is tiny and kind of run down. However, I think, this adds to its character. And let's face it, you're going for a quick, delicious salad, not a gourmet meal and a fancy atmosphere. If you happen to be in the area, definitely stop by. BUT Not sure if an out of towner would appreciate this Five Towns staple. read more

Like a wonderfull trip back in time the Chateau is probably the closest your going to come to eating at Woolworths lunch counter, all the staples are here, burgers, fries, hot dogs and shakes, lest we forget a chopped salad that they have become somewhat famous for called The Mish.Everything is exactly as you would expect it to be down to the little china plates the food it served on..nothing fancy here,but fancy is not why you come here, order a burge, fries, and a shake ,enjoy the characters at, and behind the counter and let the warm fuzzyness take you over....didnt think places like this still exsited, Im glad they do. read more

What a disappointment!!! Not in the food but the ownership! My son order's from them everyday ,the same thing everyday .Get's order wrong this one day, son calls and the lovely waitress apologizes and says can you bring the sandwiches back which is a no being he is a HS student who cannot now leave campus being lunch is over and he can't miss class. Waitress understands and says No worries come tomorrow and we'll replace at N/c, great. Next day son walks over to pick up his lunch and OWNER yells at him in front of a packed restaurant stating that next time he doesn't bring the incorrect items back he will not replace them and with that THROWS the bag at him!!!!!!! I call stating what owner did, Owner than becomes extremely rude, loud and obnoxious. I therefore state he lost our business and all other school business to which he stated GOOD and slammed the phone down! Welp see you later, your loss.. The owner is a creep, screams at little kids. STAY AWAY... read more

Horrible service to their customers and guests. It's a shame because a family establishment that doesn't have family values will always have poor tasting food. read more

Good local spot to get breakfast. Friendly staff. I always get breakfast sandwiches here and they're great.

I do not understand the appeal Chateau. First of all, the place is about as big as an above-ground swimming pool on a 10X10 lot. The waitresses (who have probably worked there since 1978) don't give you a menu because you should already KNOW what the serve there. The last time I was there the waitress actually SIGHED HEAVILY when I asked for a menu. The tables are so close together that you hear the people sitting next to you digest their food. Now, let us talk about the customers. The five towns is a curious area in that almost everyone thinks they are entitled to everything, and they aren't afraid to tell you or push you because you are blocking what they want. The people in here will stare at you if you do not look like them. They will listen to your conversation. They will chew LOUDLY with their mouth open. And seriously, the mish? I can chop lettuce finely and mix in some tuna or chicken salad and call it a day. read more

I try to go back to The Chateau as much as possible when I return to my old neighborhood. Yes, I will admit it, I am a former Five Towner - but a nice one!! Brings back lots of wonderful memories, it was always "THE" place to go to for lunch with my friends. I love the quaintness of the restaurant and the 50's feel. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The place opens very early to accommodate those who need a quick fix for their ride into the City (directly across from the Woodmere train station) or just to relax and read the paper over a nice cup of coffee (tea for me) and an extremely filling breakfast (pancakes, omelette's, even the muffins are the best). Prices are very inexpensive which makes paying by "cash only" not a problem. I usually get the Hamburger Deluxe for lunch (served with the biggest, most delicious beer battered onion rings you have ever tasted) and my Egg Cream for dessert. For the healthier eater, you have to get the Mish. My friends always joked that the "Mish" was named after me. Well, it wasn't - but, if you love salads, this is what they are famous for. Everything is mixed and chopped, by hand, with your choice of Tuna, Chicken, and Roasted Turkey on top. It's simple but something about it makes it so damn good!! Larry and Sandy are the owners and they always make you feel welcome. LOT's of regulars come back to The Chateau, it's small so it can be a little noisy. I personally like my seat at the counter so that doesn't even bother me because I'm there for the oh so delicious food!! So, next time you're in the area, try to make it a point to visit The Chateau and experience the feeling of a real old fashioned coffee house - and become another one of their "regulars". read more

I love this place. The interior is a flashback to a 1950s coffee shop. I had a cup of split pea soup which was nice and thick. Afterwards I had a chicken salad sandwich on toasted whole wheat was very good. The service was great and friendly. If you like going to an old fashioned coffee shop this is a great place to go. read more

Never having been to Long Island before, I was just looking for a simple sandwich place. This cafe fit the bill.

I stop in for breakfast here after stepping off train before visiting the nearby doctor's office. To me, it's the perfect dining experience. Quick, friendly and attentive service. Well prepared and reasonably-priced diner items. A visually interesting layout behind the counter with a nod to its linkage to rail travel. I love the place. I just get eggs, toast, coffee and home fries but I walk away extremely happy for visiting an establishment that appears to have a broad base of regular customers. read more

The best finely chopped salad with a home town feel. Satisfies my preg cravings every time. Cannot get over that tuna mish

From the breakfast specials to the New York-bound train schedule posted above the counter, this throwback to the 50s truly does evoke the notion of the "good old days." And as a great-value diner it totally hold its own. But the good old days weren't as good for everyone as the residents of the exclusive suburbs patronising "The Chat." So go and enjoy the retro chic nostalgia of The Chateau but don't long for a bygone past that didn't exist for most of America. read more
