    FLORENTINE OMELETTE
    Morgan B.

    This is the most classic diner, the nostalgia of the place makes the food taste even better! They are no longer open 24 hours which is a bummer but overall if you looking for a delicious breakfast that's cheap and fast this is your place! Staff was very nice as well!

    I came here on my way to the Catskills on a Thursday night and it was very peaceful. Not many people were there, but it made me feel even more taken care of by the amazing service. The food had a classic diner taste, which reminds me of home in New Jersey. You can't finish a meal without dessert, so I recommend the red velvet cake.

    Awesome classic diner with one of the largest gluten-free menus north of New York City! The boneless buffalo wings are amazing and impossible to tell that they are gluten-free.

    Monroe Diner stepping up to the Vegan plate!! I am insanely impressed by the Vegan options and the knowledge of the staff on the veg and gluten free menus. I had a vegan gf Buffalo chx wrap and boy was it outstanding!! They have an array of options - including vegan cheese! When I brought the half of my wrap home, my entire household thought it was real chicken. I might have to say I'm now addicted to the diner more than I was before.

    It's a diner The eggs were fluffy and the sausage great. Pancakes my daughter said were really good. But our waitress was exceptional. Early in the morning, fiery redhead happy and full of energy Checked in many times, times and made sure we were good Ask for Ashley It was a great stop for breakfast heading to Pennsylvania. I've added it to my google maps so I can stop on my way back. Oh and they had multiple hot sauces.

    Good diner food with a pretty extensive menu. My omelet was good. Home fries ok. The wrap, a portabella pesto egg and mozzarella wrap with potato pancakes (hashbrown dollars) was better. I asked about corned beef hash and it's canned. (That's a no) Place was clean, server very nice and it was pleasant. I'll add $3.25 for a cup of coffee is way up there. And I didn't find it especially good.

    Big Breakfast: 2 eggs your choice, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon strips, and 3 buttermilk pancakes.

    We came here for breakfast before my friend's wedding and it was so good! Food was great, felt homey, nice staff, overall just a very pleasant diner to grab a good breakfast at!

    Came in for a late breakfast and the staff is very welcoming and friendly :) We ordered eggs, French toast and potato pancakes which were really good and the bread was notably fluffy. Super cozy and homey inside. Shoutout to Tiffany

Even family from out of state loves to visit Hogans! They have gluten free bread available and can accommodate that with my meals. I always love breakfast at a diner and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to have avocado toast with poached eggs today! Having a gluten allergy can be taxing on finding decent spots and not getting burnt out of the same options, but that has not been a problem here! Those not gluten free/vegetarian, have also enjoyed the variety of menu items. Many have said they have some of the most delicious french fries they have ever had. Parking can be a bit tight when busy, especially when 9W is busy, but usually it's doable and there are other lots within walking distance.

Instead of being greeted with a smile, we were asked if a booth was okay and than he walked away and threw two menu's on a table, never to look around or tell us to enjoy our meal! Absolutely no communication or eye contact. We should have left right then! Waitress gave us that same greeting . Literally asked what we wanted while looking at the table across from us! It was the worst service I ever experienced! For "okay" food, I think I'll take my business elsewhere!

The scene is a basic diner, but there is something very comforting about that to this Jersey girl. Upon walking in, my daughter was immediately taken by the display of cakes. The staff was all very lovely and took good care of us. My daughter got a hot dog, my husband eggs and bacon, and I got the pastrami burger. Everything was delicious, though the burger itself was immensely big! Next time, I'll know to share it! We couldn't leave without trying a piece of chocolate cake. My daughter was very happy with it, but my husband acknowledged that the bottom layer was very dry, but the rest of it was yummy. I don't think I have ever ordered a piece of cake from a diner before, so I'll take that as a rave review.

We finally get seated and then quickly after we are seated they seat 3 walk in tables next to us. The server comes to our table first of the 4 tables and takes drink orders and says she will be right back to take our order, but then proceeds to take the 3 other tables food orders. Not one after another, but take an order put it in, walk around, take another order put it in, walk around..... The table next to us had their food by the time she took our food order. I told the host/manager and he gave me an attitude and said she is taking the orders now, yet ours still wasn't taken for quite awhile. Food is delivered with a comment of will be back with toast, that was another 10 minutes wait for toast while waiting with over easy eggs which were cold by the time toast came out. She brought 2 plates, any decent server could have also brought toast.... Another long wait for a check, not surprising we were the last of the 4 tables in the section to get ours. I've worked in the service industry and know how hard it is, however this service was terrible. Server could clearly not handle her section and could not handle breakfast volume in a diner, other servers seemed to be doing just fine. Do not recommend between the poor service and lack of management concern was a horrible experience.

Aside from never offering what they did have available and instead saying "We don't have that" for about half the menu, she seemed very annoyed to be taking our order period. She was very unpleasant, to say the least. Waitress had an immense staring problem as well. I would've walked out had it not been a going away event for a coworker. Owner seems aware of this issue. Took about an hour for a milkshake and by that time, after tolerating the way she treated the group, I didn't have the appetite to finish half of it.

No idea what they were. - They also had no capers. Who runs out of that? - And mashed potatoes with no flavor, likely from an alternative universe where bland food earns kudos or where potatoes are a protected life form. The service was horrible but the food was not much better. This place is definitely not worth the cost. The food and service is subpar and the help has an attitude. Just close.
