    Came here the first night with new owners Ari and John. And although, we loved the former owners, we are very excited for all the new items that will join the already amazing menu at Circle M! You'll have to visit and see for yourself! Ari and John were there, shaking hands and making sure they were getting to know everyone that walked in. This place is like walking into your family's restaurant... everything reminds you of home, especially the food. My little one got the kids burger, which was happily devoured. I had the chicken souvlaki pita with Greek salad and of course the (absolute best) Mykonos salad dressing and my hubby had the grilled chicken entree with fresh mozzarella and broccoli and substituted rice for the potato. He started with the Yankee bean soup, which was a hit with the whole table. My little one was VERY happy with the chocolate ice cream for dessert too. We can't wait to go back and try some of the new menu items. Go check this place out if you want a no nonsense diner with incredible food! Here's more on the new Circle M! https://greaterlongisland.com/wantaghs-famed-circle-m-diner-turns-the-page-after-half-a-century/

    Avocado Toast

    My husband and I came here for breakfast and had a great experience. The server we had was excellent. She was very friendly and efficient. The avocado toast that I had was delicious. See picture. Our server said it would be prepared beautifully and it was - beautiful and delicious! My husband enjoyed his eggs Benedict although he said the eggs could have been a bit more runny. All in all, we enjoyed our breakfast very much.

    Went and ordered cheddar cheese on my food as I have an allergy to American cheese. The first time they brought it out it had American i politely sent it back and apologized profusely because I hate being that person, but again I do have an allergy to it. It was obvious it was American by the look, texture, and it was tasted by someone at my table. They then bring it back and the server says I watched them do it it's all cheddar, when you can look at it and see clearly on the potato's is two different cheeses. 1/4 of it is cheddar the other 3/4s is American which in the picture attached you can clearly see not to mention after tasting it you can taste the difference. N which I tasted it myself and now have a very itchy red tongue (luckily my allergy is not severe). They then took my food off but still charged us for the other persons meal, which is okay not a problem but when we went up to speak to the owner who also was ringing us up he rushed us out n wouldn't even give us the opportunity to speak (maybe he didn't speak good English) but still it was beyond rude. With the itch of my tongue becoming more frustrating we called in and they then proceeded to tell me it was all cheddar cheese they watched them do it. N argued over n over again luckily my allergy is not severe. N I hate to bring race into it, but from the moment we arrived the looks I got and the way everything was handled n treated n the way the owner and his wife treated and looked that could very well be the biggest issue. My bestfriend who I came there with goes to that diner at least twice a week and brings countless people and even she was questioning the true feelings behind it and has never experienced that type of service there. I am disgusted. When I called all I needed was for them to take some accountability instead they were rude told me I was wrong, yet again you can clearly see in the photo the two different types of cheeses on these. They told me they trust the men working for them and they know it was all cheddar yet again you can clearly see the difference in the photo!

    The Roadhouse

    Unifying factors these days are difficult to determine - they all seem like the wrong ones to me, well, most anyway. I'll tell ya a Long Island unifying factor - Diners! Your Grammy can be a gay Eskimo that worships the devil and sit her right along side one of those fire breathing Torah thumping Muslims and they'll chit chat over a slice of those dizzying, teeth aching - glass enclosed pieces of icing clad pies. It's because human nature just wants to connect - and Diners are always there to bridge that gap - to feel the homemade environment. Leave any pretenses in the lot and order a bacon double cheeseburger and a hot fudge sundae for breakfast and strawberry pancakes with chocolate chips and whipped cream for dinner while resting your ever expanding rump roast on the always overstuffed padded booth seats. The Signature sandwich was called The Roadhouse - cool movie (even with P. Swazie) and a bouncer of a meal. The roast beef was tender and layered like the walls of the keep of Minis Tirith. It was difficult to get my mouth up and over it's too to bottom bountiful half poundage - but my right hand pinched and twisted in accordance with the disdain for silverware and class which had my dining partner ordering the check half way thru. I was so tempted to point to the corner and say "Seabass has graciously offered to pick up our check" #dumbanddumber the thought of calling our waitress "Flo" ceased right quick as she was sweet but underneath the smile looked like she'd smack the silly right on outta me. Don't sleep on the starter coleslaw and pickles either, I'd order extra hence forth if-in I'll find myself out that way in Wantaugh ever again.

    I grew up here! Back after 22 years! Eggs still perfect soft scrambled and those pork sausage links - oh! Just how I remember them, fat and juicy! I can't tell if the hash browns are my favorite of the three, crispy on the top AND bottom and perfectly cooked within! My daughter, who I also raised in my hometown here in Wantagh before moving, got her favorite disco fries - the gravy was homemade awesome! Mom got the pancake stack that was as fluffy and delicious as always. The owner breezed by the table on the 4th of July to ensure all was as it should be. Still love my dear Circle M. You can't argue with perfection and consistency for over 50 years. I've missed you.

    Yummy food. A little expensive for a salad though. But when you need diner food- it works.

    I visited Long Island a couple of weeks ago to see my elderly mother. She was celebrating her…read morebirthday and wanted to have dinner with a very close friend, so I looked for a place to get my own supper. Of course Long Island has lots of diners, but they are all unique, and I would say that based on my experience, Imperial is one of the best. I did not want your typical huge diner meal, which is much too much food, so I went with a nice dinner size Mediterranean Salad. The food was excellent - top quality fresh ingredients, put together beautifully and delicious. I was equally impressed by the service. When I travel to New York, I will often run into people who are not particularly friendly or helpful, including many who work at restaurants. This was not the case at all at Imperial. They were kind, and eager to give me a great experience. For a diner, it was not too noisy, and everything was very clean. Prices were very fair too. The only thing lacking .. and I saw this a lot in New York, was non-alcoholic beer. I cannot drink alcohol, and this is something I really enjoy with my meals. Imperial does have a variety of "Mocktails" .. so there are options for folks like me ..but it would be nice to see some beer options for the growing number of people who either cannot drink, or prefer to avoid alcohol. This is definitely a good choice if you are looking for a nice diner. Highly recommended.

    1/3/25. Fajita chicken panini w/ chipotle mayo on the side. Ample chicken. Opted for the classic…read morehome fries. Def ask for the classic grilled home fries otherwise you get the cubed nonsense. Adrianna was adorable.
