Fit Omelette with tomatoes mushrooms Healthy
Ed R.

Great Customer Service and Food is Nice. Fluffy eggs and not burned Coffee is fresh . A nice place to connect after Sunday mass

a menu for a restaurant
Fawn G.

This cute old fashioned diner is reminiscent of a little diner my mom and I used to frequent in Bay Ridge called Hinsh's luncheonette : old fashioned booths, pictures of food that is served, old fashioned register, red leather stools at the counter. Very vintage themed diner.. the diner is nestled in an eclectic block that houses a glatt kosher market, a kosher bakery, a really nice pasta restaurant, Steven's Pasta and smoke shops. When you enter this charming place there are specials on a blackboard and numerous booths and tables. We were seated at a booth and given menus promptly. This was our breakfast before hitting the beach. We both decided we wanted eggs. There are numerous omelette options especially " spa themed" that serve egg whites, rise and shine specials and of course bagels, French toast, oatmeal and other diner delicacies. My friend decided to order two poached eggs with home fries and toast. She enjoyed her meal with a large glass of iced coffee. I ordered one of the spa special omelette: egg white with spinach and mozzarella with grits and substituted toast with lettuce and tomatoes with house dressing. I really enjoyed my omelette but it seemed less egg white and more fried. The coffee was fresh and piping hot. The restaurant was hopping and filled with locals and Labor Day visitors. We watched waiters serving huge portions of toast, eggs and mouth watering shakes. The Rise and Shine specials are really worth it: you can choose for example, 2 eggs with home fries or grits and toast and coffee for $8. I dined in that the next day before hitting the beach. This diner is everything you expect from a diner: cozy dining with comfort food served daily. The ambience is cool and courteous service. If you're looking for a quick meal or take away bite before hitting the beach, then this diner definitely serves that purpose.

Omelette is delicious and the service was great! It didn't have too much salt on home fries but that worked perfect because I just added a little! Would come back again!

French Fries

Picture perfect milkshakes and they taste just as good as they look. This place is a hidden gem in Long Beach within walking distance to the beach. A must try if you're in Long Beach during the summer.

Nutella Shake
Sara R.

Have been hearing about the shakes at DBTS for years. Finally got around to checking them out for myself and I was unimpressed. Let me start off by saying that I do appreciate that they aren't going over the top with their shakes. The shakes here are more affordable and more appetizing than the $15 diabetic shock shakes found in many burger spots these days. (The milkshakes here are $8.) But unfortunately, in my opinion, not worth the price. The shake I had was neither thick nor creamy. My Nutella shake had the consistency of chocolate milk. It was lacking in flavor and just not very exciting. I did enjoy the little tiara clip served on top... but I wouldn't willingly pay $8 for that. The fries were crispy and had a good taste. My friend had the same opinion on her Cake Batter shake. She said hers was watery and she barely touched it. $22 not very well spent. At least we had each other's company?

Cotton candy & tiramisu milkshakes

diner by the sea is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Its not your typical diner, the quality of the food is so much better & fresher compared to other diners. Also, the famous MILKSHAKES are phenomenal. Located right in long beach, you can literally walk to the boardwalk. The customer service is great too. The staff is super friendly. No doubt, i leave happy and full. You must try their milkshakes!!!! 10/10 food 10/10 customer service 10/10 milkshakes actually 10+ haha!

The best BLT in Long Beach. Quick service and nice staff. Sometimes I feel it's a bit pricey but what isn't these days?

We are frequent customers at the Laurel, best Diner in Long Beach, NY! The food is always very…read morefresh and delicious. Great menu options - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We also order food for delivery. It always arrives quickly and hot (if the meal is hot) Today we had the unfortunate incident of someone stealing the order from our porch. After confirming the food wasn't delivered to the neighbors or side entrance, I called Laurel. Their driver confirmed the order had been delivered. Laurel told us not to worry. They would re-do the order. Great customer service If you haven't visited Laurel Diner, and want a great meal, give them a try!

In business since 1932, Laurel Diner is a classic diner in almost every sense. It's spacious and…read moreboisterous with striped booths that exude retro charm. The menu is appreciably huge, boasting everything from breakfast to sandwiches to pastas and much, much, more. About the only thing here that doesn't recall a bygone era is the pricing, which is high even by 21st-century Long Island standards. Laurel does at least offer rather generous portions (plus free coleslaw and pickles), but the food is nothing special. I went with a pastrami Reuben and a side salad in place of fries. The sandwich satisfied a craving though the meat was a bit chewy. It feels almost blasphemous, but I can get a better version down in North Carolina for about half the $20-plus cost. To Laurel's credit, the staff were at least attentive and accommodating. For those who grew up with diners like this or simply want a lot of options to choose from, Laurel Diner holds a certain appeal. Remove nostalgia from the equation, however, and it offers neither particularly good food nor a good value.

My son has been here before and recommended it for our brunch/breakfast - it was a Friday…read more Took awhile for any one to acknowledge us and get seated. Service did improve after we got seated. Food was good and nice portions, although pricy. $75+ (including tip) for two - two plates, a coffee and a Bloody Mary.

We normally head to The Bungalow for an early breakfast, but the last time we went it was closed…read morefor repairs, so we stumbled across this place instead. My first impression was just how big it is! There are multiple levels of seating and a large bar, giving it a lively atmosphere. I was honestly surprised to see how busy it was on a weekday morning, but that only got me more excited, it usually means a place has built a loyal following for a good reason. With only two stomachs to work with, we wanted to try as much as possible. We ordered eggs over medium with bacon, home fries, and toast, a short stack of pancakes with sausage, and biscuits and gravy. I'll just say it, this place knows how to make breakfast. Everything we ordered was done really well, and I honestly don't have many notes. The biscuits and gravy were excellent. The gravy was rich and flavorful, and the biscuit was soft, buttery, and the perfect pairing. I'm not usually a pancake person, but these were fantastic. Add some real maple syrup and a bite of sausage, and it was the perfect combination. I also can't finish this review without mentioning the Bloody Marys. If you're a Bloody Mary fan, these are elite. Seriously, one of the best I've had. We'll definitely be back.
