    Silver dollar Pancakes with bacon
    Rah D.

    This is always my go-to area diner. I have been going here since the 90s. The food is always good and consistent. I usually enjoy breakfast food here. Also used to do the turkey burger deluxe with fries and onion rings. Always a win. I really enjoy coming to breakfast. There is something about their pancakes that are eggy and moist. The syrup hits these just right. I usually get a scrambled egg with cheese and some hash browns. I have never been disappointed The two brothers that own the place are always friendly and amazingly do not seem to forget a face. I hope they stay in business for years to come

    Some magical salad dressing that was on the crabcake salad

    From entry to exit this was an excellent lunch outing. We were greeted warmly at the entryway we were seated at a favorable location within the restaurant. Service was excellent. The food was terrific and tasty and delicious. Be unafraid to make choices and to change your mind and to make request they will accommodate you really wonderful terrific experience it's a diner so the ambience is what you would expect go have a wonderful time. Highly recommend.

    Everything was fine except the food. Ambience is nice, the people are friendly, and the service was good. I give 3 stars because my husband, liked their waffle and pancake, but my omelette had no taste at all--I couldn't eat it. Even when I took it home for my dad, he couldn't eat it either. I tried some waffle and chicken from my husband's plate, which were okay. Overall, the service was nice, but the food was just okay.

    One of the top Hempstead Turnpike diners, for sure. Colony Diner is what I think of when I think diner. Stainless steel counter seating, mirrors everywhere, and a warm host welcoming you into an oversized booth, placing down a menu that looks like it could be a novel. I came here on a Monday afternoon for lunch with my mom and brother. All of us were in the mood for something a little different. My go-to diner order is a cup of matzoh ball soup and turkey cheeseburger, which is what I ordered. Unfortunately they'd just run out of turkey burgers, so I had to last minute switch to the turkey club as my back up. The matzoh ball soup here was a bit of a let down. It was a little overdone, not much flavor to the broth and no carrots, celery or onions, just the broth which really lacked. My turkey club made up for it, piled high with turkey and just the right amount of mayo. They brought out complimentary coleslaw and pickles which I appreciated. My mom got the cheeseburger deluxe which came with fries and two onion rings and looked delicious. My brother got the eggs benedict that was absolutely smothered in hollandaise in the best way. I'm still shocked at how high diner prices are in general these days, but for the state of the economy I think Colony's prices are pretty fair. I'll be back next time I'm in the area and need my diner fix.

    Arugula salad with mandarins orange, walnuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese , with a huge scoop of tuna salad instead of chicken.

    WOW and WOW! You can't tell from the pictures but the portions are humongous and everything tastes great! The interior is very aesthetic and inviting . The staff are really friendly, attentive and accommodating! I can't say enough positives and believe me, I know my diners! For diners it is def 5 stars ! They still have a huge menu and lots to choose from. Very accommodating to children. They have lots of booths, round tables for 6 and large booths that can hold prob 7-8 people. Very comfy. Good parking lot. Near Eisenhower park, so convenient. 9 minutes from museum row. Needless to say , we all took home doggy bags! Sorry no picks of interior but it is attractive.
