George's is rarity these days; an old school luncheonette. So if you like infused water, ancient grains, avocado whatever and the like, stop reading and head down the street to the endless myriad of other places. But, if you like delicious simple American food at reasonable prices. This is the place for you. Really. Ambiance is simple old school luncheonette. Like out of Life Magazine. And it's spotless and perfect. Service is spot on with a touch of sarcasm, like it should be when everyone seems to know everyone here. Great diner style coffee and super fresh and tasty juices will come out quick and so will your food. Except the home made corned beef hash. You'll wait a few minutes, and just a few extra minutes for that. Because they basically make from scratch on the spot. At least that's what it tastes like. So good So, corned beef hash and eggs is my go to, and it's my nirvana of meals too, but hey I'm a simple fat guy. And it's off the hook Nothing on Long Island comes close. So if you want a real breakfast, make it a point to come here. Today. Don't be like me. I should have started coming here 10 years ago. I didn't and I regret it. Don't waste a decade of your life on lousy breakfasts. No one needs that tribulation. Go today! Tomorrow is never promised and if it doesn't come, be rest assured you just had the best last meal of your life! read more

George's Luncheonette - Homemade Corned Beef Hash & Eggs - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Quality food. Neighborly environment. Good service. I especially like their soups and salads

Looks uncLean. Food is not tasty. There is a young woman who was unmanageable & kept approaching my 10 yr. Grandaughter while she was eating. G.daughter was so uncomfortable that she no longer wants to eat at George's. read more

The food sucks..the waitress was very RUDE..they are racist to minorities...yes they really are...the coffee taste like it sat there for 3 days..I have nothing good to say about Georges...And I'm not the only person who says that. read more

What an adorable breakfast spot. I would say 99.9% regulars, a much older crowd but hey we fit into that pool. Big portions, attentive wait staff and we took two doggie bags home because that's how much food you get served. We don't live in this area but we did notice all the cars out front, that's what made us decide to go. Their tomato juice was served in a big glass and was very tasty. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good breakfast. We wanted to go to Flo's which we've never been too but the location we wanted to go to was closed - not sure why. read more

This place is a must eat at!! Plenty of seating. You can even sit at the counter on stools and watch the food being cooked right in front of you. Food was amazing. Lots of food. Definitely will be happily full when done. read more

George's Luncheonette - You can watch them cooking your food!! - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

When we walked in I noticed the waitress leaning on the counter and she was picking her teeth with her finger nails. We placed our breakfast order and part of it was a fresh fruit bowl. What I didn't expect was our waitress made the fruit bowl by grabbing a banana, peeling it and used her hands that were just in her mouth to hold it while slicing it. She did the same with slicing the strawberries and then added the blueberries. I couldn't eat a bite of fruit and didn't want a confrontation over it either. I hope the cafe rethinks letting wait staff handle food because they do not have clean hands. They are also handling money and menus which are touched by too many people and then seeing her pick her teeth and use her hands to touch food was just wrong. The breakfast otherwise was fine but it should all be prepared by the kitchen staff and not the wait staff. read more

Woman behind the counter was VERY RUDE I drive for Grubhub. I arrived at the scheduled time to pick up. The restaurant was busy and the order wasn't ready. I understood. But 20 minutes later, the order still was not ready. The rude woman behind the counter told me it's ready now, but the cook in advertently put a table order not my order. She rudely said we're only human and they had to make the order. But didn't she realize my customer is also human after I had been there more than a half an hour? So it took 40 minutes to pick up an order at George's luncheonette, and the rude lady told me don't come back again, so I am not recommending George's luncheonette. They are rude. read more

Good home style cooking, with decent portions & prices!! The staff are nice and the place seems to have a decent number of regulars! read more

Enjoyed a great breakfast with my grand nephew, Sean, talking sports and Super Bowl contenders (Conference Championship weekend). The service was spectacular, best, kind, and on time. The food was delicious and they keep hot coffee poured right on time. We will return. read more

Was very disappointed this time! I always said the food was good here, but this it wasn't! I got a burger and the burger itself was good but the rolls must have been frozen at one point and it was flaky and crumbled as you ate it!! The service was fine but disappointed in the food!! Not happy!! read more

I visited this restaurant while in my mothers hometown area of Patchogue, LI. The service was great and portions huge! I had Pancakes with egg whites and the pastrami hash-everything was delicious. The prices are just as good as the food. I definitely could not finish everything. This will definitely be my go to spot whenever in the area visiting. read more

great food, great prices, and the characters that eat there are hilarious. The owner John is definitely one of the characters. It's similar to the TV show Cheers! Waitress staff very friendly. Great Breakfast menu. Anything not on the menu, If John has it in stock, He'll make it for you. read more

The waitress is rude! She never brought bacon out when asked twice for it. She spilt coffee all on my food and blamed it on my husband. Never apologized for either incident. The manager refused solve the issue or to speak to me. All he said was "Do what you got to do". So I did! The place is filthy. Ketchup bottle was sticky. The table wasn't cleaned you felt the grease all over it. Floors were also sticky. The cooks don't wear gloves or hats. If you want Coronavirus this is the place to get it. read more

Normally I would find a way to contact the place by email or messenger but they don't have any of that. No one working there except for one man is wearing a mask. The waitress that takes your orders, hands you the foods and speaks to different customers throughout the day and doesn't wear a mask. Aside from that I made my order and it was for takeout - they didn't have it ready but I dont mind waiting. I changed my mind and said that I'll eat it there. Her attitude was childish and very rude. She was angry with me, very rude and disrespectful. She spoke to me like a child and talked over me not wanting to hear anything I said. She needs a lot more patience and the main problem is that she doesn't think she's in the wrong at all so its gonna keep happening. I told her that everyone thats not sitting and eating needs a mask and she brushed it off saying its fine over and over. The staff, and servers except one man are not wearing a mask read more

My son and I stopped in there for breakfast recently, I had a western omelet and my son had French toast. Everything was fine. We ate our food and left. About 1 hour later my son started to feel bad. !5 minutes more and he was throwing up on the side of the road. The only thing I could think of was that the egg mixture for the French toast was rancid, he was fine the rest of the day. Need to change that mixture if it's sitting long, guys. read more

Awesome Breakfast, They have my favorite, Eggs Benedict, with a surprise, three eggs instead of two...And absolutely delicious. Bravo! PS: I'll be back! read more

It was raining , we waited toooo long for seating and during that time this place was ignoring us and prioritizing orders for uber eats first. ,I called the waitress to place my order and she responded and said that they are preparing orders after one whole hour! only for coffee and juice... I wrote a review before that and it was removed. very rude and unpolite to remove my comment. bad service over all and i also left a tip. bad experience. read more

Been going to Peter's for a long time but the prices keep climbing George's gives you more food for less money

There is a war in Patchogue. It's not in the sense of violence or blood shed. It's about choice. Peter's or George's, which is the better diner! Well I am here to end that battle once and for all! It's George's Luncheonette, I am here to explain why. When I pulled up to the diner the vibe I got was positive. Not because I felt something in my bones, it's because the parking lot was packed! I knew something good was going on inside George's. We walked into the diner, they had a short wait but the waitresses were very pleasant asking if we wanted to wait at the bar for a table. I really felt like they cared. Looking around George's I see they renovated because everything looked new inside; fresh walls, new seats, and nice clean tables. When we finally got seated we had the luck to have Dawn as our waitress. First impressions matter and Dawn delivered perfectly for the business. Dawn was engaged with us and friendly while we picked our order. Dawn even promoted future deals at George's without trying to sound pushy, A+ for effort Dawn! I got a omelette with cheese, of course, sausage, bacon, home fries, and wheat toast, of course wheat, I eat healthy. They offer coffee or OJ with the meal complementary of George's. Five stars all around just for the free OJ. I began eating the food and had to step back for a minute while I drifted off into my childhood. I felt comfort and safety in the well known taste of the eggs and sausage like my mother use to make. It felt like Sunday morning still under my blanket with my toes sticking out with every bite. All under the umbrella of great people around complimenting the place. The food was perfect, the waitress Dawn was perfect the entire visit was perfect. I normally have to at least include one negative with my visit, it brings balance to the force, the only one thing I would say is they don't take credit cards. That's normal in Patchogue so I knew to ask. But that's not enough to keep me out. I feel like everyone here makes you feel like family. This One great visit sets the bar high for all dining for me. If I enter another diner in the future the first thing I will think now is......."will that waitress be great like Dawn?" I have been to both places Peter's and George's and there is no competition! To sum it all up, It's like comparing the NFL and PAL Football. George's is the pro's and Peter's still hasn't entered the draft. read more

Food was ordered for lunch for my entire office through Uber. The wrong food was delivered and I contacted George's. The lady who answered the phone was rude and unprofessional. After speaking with her she checked the order and they did in fact bill us for the full order but left many items off the order. She then said we have to deal with Uber even though George's made the error. They were not remorseful and offered no solution, mind you they could have been customer centric and delivered the correct order themselves as my office is 7 minutes away from their restaurant. Stay away not a friendly place. read more

George's is one of those places that you would normally drive right b. It is an easy to miss place towards the end of Patchouge. The interior is your basic luncheonette style, which has recently been updated. This place screams the eighties...including the patrons. I have a fave here. It is the French Toast, I am a big fan of French Toast. If you are too, there is only one way to order it..."All The Way." Trust me, you will love it! It is one of the most consistent meals I have ordered anywhere. Most reviews are dead on, but don't let that dissuade you! This is a 5 Star breakfast luncheonette, on the breakfast luncheonette scale. read more

Had an amazing breakfast and the serivce was on point , The Cornebeef hash was amazing and the service was great too . Deffintly going back . read more

I placed an order via uber eats for 2x red snapper stuffed with crab meat, mashed potatoes, salad and vegetables AS DESCRIBED. I received 2 stuffed red snappers with rice and all other items missing. When I phoned to informed them, they did not take any accountability. I would have been forgiving as I have ordered the same items in the past but the "I don't care attitude" was unacceptable! Worst customer service and now I am waiting on uber eats to refund partial of what I paid since I'm missing items on both orders. Never ordering from them AGAIN!!!! I WOULD HAVE LET IT GO SHOULD THEY HAVE APOLOGIZED FOR THEIR ERROR!!! NOT SUPPORTING THIS KIND OF ESTABLISHMENT!!!! read more

George's Luncheonette - Red snapper with crab meat and rice. - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Same as Peter is a great go to breakfast and lunch spot.. I have never eat dinner at either but if it's as God is the former then I'm down!! I have to say the best part about this place though has to be there super super super friendly staff, If it was rated solely on them they would get 7 stars My one piece of advice is to avoid this seafood bisque because my friend ordered at once and I told him what do you expect with watering seafood from a diner in and he got exactly what he was expecting, Food poisoning/ massive diarrhea read more

This was my first visit and I am happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed not on,y the food but the down home atmosphere and friendly waitresses. Almost makes me want to not rave about them because I am afraid Georges will become well known and difficult to get into. Went for breakfast and it was wonderful. Great pancakes, huge portions, excellent breakfast meats. Can't wait to try them for lunch or dinner. Well back again with a grandchild and she loves Georges. Great breakfast and reasonable prices. She had the blueberry pancakes with sausage. She loved the sausage. Pancakes had big fresh blueberries. I had the usual, bacon and eggs, always cooked perfectly. Hubby had the farmers omelet, peppers, onions, lots of meat and avocado read more

One of my favorite diners on Long Island. These guys pump out breakfast like its their job... Well... You know what I mean. You place an order and within mins the order is fulfilled. Real friendly staff. Clean place. The man behind the counter John (who does the egg slinging) will impress you. It's almost like watching Hells Kitchen but live. This guy does not stop moving! When you don't feel like making breakfast in the morning, you come here and they'll take care of it. **ADVISORY** This establishment only takes cash!! read more

I give the food four stars I give the service zero stars. There was one waitress that was doing her job and helping give out coffee to everyone. But the waitress I had was horrible she had a nasty attitude and once she took your order that was it she wasn't going to do anything else for you. It wouldn't have been hard to make me happy all I needed was a refill on my water and the check when I was done eating my food. read more

Here's the Scoop: I was in Pathogue and it was time for lunch so I Yelped restaurants and George's Lunchonette came up and it was reviewed by Evan C. So we decided we must check this place out because Evan is on point. We both ordered the Colossal Burger Platter. The burger was stacked with mozzarella sticks, cole slaw, bacon and cheese. We got the slaw and mozzarella sticks on the side. The platter also had shoe string fries. The burger was grilled perfectly to my specifications. It was juicy and tasty. The overall seating area is authentic old. It reminds me of a diner you grow up with as a child. The booths are old fashion as well. However the diner is clean and so is the bathroom. As you know clean bathrooms tell a story about the restaurant. The waitress was pleasant but was not as great as Evan C's. she didn't check on us other than when I asked for a box for leftovers but checked on others, frequently-hmmmm? Don't remember her name, young, but she needs to work on brushing up on her waitressing skills. Service is part of your experience. With that said: My fellow Yelpers, if you're in Patchogue check out George's..I'm a hash lover I heard it was good here, so it's my next order. read more

Fast, friendly and affordable. Pretty solid spot to grab a quick bite for breakfast. We were in and out in under 45 minutes. Had breakfast for 3. Staff was friendly and our bill was pleasantly under $20. I'm sure we will be back. read more

OMG I love Georges I cant believe I never reviewed it yet, LOL! and in answer to the local debate if you had to choose here or Peter's up the road I'd say George's for food, Peter's for feel :) Best b'fast special in the chogue? Maybe so .. . read more

I'll get it out of the way first: George's beats Pete's. The times I go to Pete's I think of how I could be at George's instead. The restaurant is located in a small strip of stores on Montauk Highway and is easy to miss, but parking is plentiful if you drive through the lot to the back. If it's not busy, you can seat yourself. The food is great, coffee always filled, and their breakfast potatoes are outstanding. The portions are more than filling, I never finish and I feel bad not doing so. I always get their western omelet with some American cheese on top and it's delicious. A lot of seniors frequent the place, and I appreciate their loyalty to this place - but it's not hard to be loyal when their food is great! As another reviewer said, I have occasionally had to wait for the check, but that's okay because I like to talk. Staff is friendly, and don't get in the way which is something I like. Something else I like, is the price. Cheap, good food, why not try it? Go to George's. read more

Standard breakfast at a great value. Service was fast to keep our coffee cups filled (I left shaky, and that's a good thing.) food came out fast. It was just hard to get the check. George's is more of a diner feel. Not a destination spot and if you had to choose here or Peter's up the road I'd say Peter's. read more

With horrible experience a day before with another restaurant, I purposely checked another nearby restaurant on Yelp. It was a toss between this and Peter's but chose this one. Like others said, it was very nice overall. Food was nice, service was nice and the restaurant, though humble and simple, was kept nice and clean. The waitress was on top of everything going on with everyone dined there and I was very impressed. She knew what each of customers seem to need and bring it right over before asked. What a service! read more

I just came from this diner awhile ago. I know that the restaurant industry have been experiencing staff shortages. So I ALWAYS make it a point to be courteous and patient. But there was a staff member who was giving me attitude. I had noticed she'd been grumpy as I was waiting for my takeout order. The moment I got there, she already spoke to me in a bitchy way. I didn't pay it any attention. She was grouchy again when she told me to move and sit by the counter. I didn't take it against her. I waited for 30 MINUTES for my food. When I saw that it was ready, I flashed her my ID just to prove that I was the person picking up the order (I ordered online). And she gave me attitude AGAIN! Finally, I had enough. I was fuming. But I still tried to remain calm and tried to tell her very nicely that I waited for so long and didn't complain but that I didn't appreciate her attitude. But she had a sarcastic, bitchy response: "Well, sorry you feel that way, GOODBYE" (definitely a bitchy non-apology). It was then that I blew my top. I couldn't help myself any longer. I told her she was being the B-word, gave her the finger and walked out. I'm definitely not (ordering from and) coming back to this stupid diner ever again. read more

George's is one of my favorite greasy spoons. I will admit it was a little better when George was the actual owner. Basic diner/ luncheonette menu, good prices, good eats! I have had Many different breakfast & dinner plates all very good! Friendly and fast service. Could be a tad cleaner, but not a dirty place, I find it cozy. They say in Patchogue your either a George's or a Peter's. I'm a George's; so I disagree with childhood bro Gerry H. read more
