Love this place. A real old fashion luncheonette with a hometown feel. I had the Blue Monkey Pancakes, delicious! Light and fluffy and made with fresh blueberries and bananas. My daughter had the Traditional, scrambled eggs, home fries,avocado and toast. Must have been good, she cleaned her plate for a change. The menu was interesting for breakfast as well as lunch. Next time I'm going for the French Toast it looked amazing. We will definitely be back. read more

How have I never heard about this place before!?! I just had the BEST crab cake (over mixed greens but it's also available on a roll) that I have ever had! Oh, and let me not forget the little side of possibly the best mac and cheese I have ever had! And to make matters even crazier I topped off my lunch with a cup of their amazing homemade rice pudding (that never tasted as good as anything I ever made at home)! In short, you need to check this place out! read more

The best basic breakfast food you can find. Eggs, homefries and pancakes done right. If you only go here once in your life, get the Idaho (a huge plate of hash and yumminess). If you are lucky enough to go back again it's blue monkeys. This place has a long history and a long list of locals that stop in every morning except Sunday (they are still closed on Sunday circa forever). It takes up a coulpe of store fronts. The section where the entrance is is the old part. the dining room to the left was added later (late 90's I think) and decorated in that classic 50's dinning room way. Where ever you sit the wait staff is great and food is classic. read more

Absolutely unbelievable. My wife and myself both ordered the eggs Benedict. This was the best I have ever had. Very good food portions. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. They don't take credit cards and thankfully we had cash on us. I may have missed the sign but I found that unusual. Every year, when we go up, this will be our go to breakfast spot. read more

Glen's Dinette - American Near Me - Babylon, New York

Excellent breakfast. Poached eggs and half order of real homemade corn beef hash. Had a homemade scone. Hot coffee too. It's a must stop for me in Babylon village. We will be back ! read more

This place was great! Our friends bought a house about a mile from this place and they recommended we all go for brunch. We have since been twice. Their eggs were probably the best eggs I've ever had. They were prepared perfectly. More importantly, they tasted so good. They must just be super fresh. Seriously... they're incredible. I don't know how else to explain it... The rest of the food varied but was largely great. The raisin french toast was a little lackluster in the sense that it was thin (cut as standard toast) but still very tasty. Very home-made. The bacon and homefries came as ordered, and they were fantastic. The other sides were good, and the orange juice was quite refreshing. I highly recommend the place. It's kitschy inside, and the food is outstanding. I will go next time I'm on the island. And stick to the breakfast menu. I hear the lunch stuff isn't as outstanding, and the little bit I've tried has been good but not as amazing as the breakfast foods. read more

First frequented this authentic '50's diner/luncheonette back in '87. Was a regular back then. Always a great morning local scene. They've added a small room since then but still filled with locals and counter is always vibrant with town talk. Excellent fluffy eggs, decent coffee, fresh made bacon, and lots more on the menu. Great hospitality too. Can't go wrong. read more

There is no diner I would rather eat at on the planet that I know of... Seriously, my girlfriend and I make a weekly trip here every single weekend. Try the Idaho, eggs Benedict, or an egg sandwich. Unbeatable. Of course all of the classic breakfast food options are outstanding as well. read more

We love Glenn's Dinner. There's always a wait, but it's worth it. The food has a home cooked taste and vibe. Breakfast is delicious and the coffee is great. The lunch specials are also yummy. I think I'll go there again today. Just writing about it makes me hungry. read more

Excellent breakfast spot. Although it's very loud, it has a comfortable vibe. Very busy but our food came out hot and fairly quickly. I ordered The Supreme omelette (bacon, onion, swiss cheese) with an English muffin and home fries. Everything was spot on and probably the tastiest breakfast i have had this year. GF had their (homemade) Hash 'n' Eggs which she was very happy with. The service was pleasant, with more than one person checking on us. No complaints here. If you are in the area, don't mind a noisy atmosphere, then hit this place up. I know we will be back soon! read more

Oh Glen's. What can I say. Nothing too much I guess. The last time I went to Glen's was about 2 years ago prior to my most recent visit. 2 years ago it wasn't anything great but I figured it was worth another shot. Well... Nothing has changed. I so much wanted to enjoy it. Yeah it's quaint and all. Little dinette, local, been around since the forties, Babylonians love the place but for me it just doesn't cut it. Service was slow, took forever to get milk for our coffees and hot chocolate for my son. Once we got our orders we were very disappointed. I was lucky it i had 4 tiny cut up pieces if tomato in my vegetarian omelet. Come on! The portion of home fries that came with my meal, almost non existent. Two bites and they were gone. My wife's omelet which was supposed to have broccoli in it... Lets just say we never found the broccoli. Thirty bucks later (that's with tip) we were walking out hungry, disappointed and unwilling to come back any time soon. Rating it 2 stars for quaintness. If it wasn't for it's quaintness, two stars would be too much. Oh Glen's... You must be doing something right with all the 4 and 5 star reviews. Just not doing for me. read more

I have been to glens a few times and the food is delicious. Just came here to warn everyone not to sit outside. I understand it's the weekend and busy but no one took our order or acknowledged us for almost 30 minutes and then our food took almost 40. We were about to get up to pay for our coffee and leave but then one of our dishes came out and the other wasn't our for another few minutes. We were there for almost 2 hours with only an interaction with a worker twice. Definitely great food but I just recommend NOT sitting outside as they basically ignore you. read more

First experience was not the best. The service was terrible and it is very packed due to the location size. Also heard two employees loudly making fun and judging my slight gluten allergy (I can't have whole wheat wraps and that's what was being made fun of). That was extremely hurtful and unprofessional. Will not be coming back. Only giving it three stars because we were able to sit down right away and our waitress was sweet. read more

Glutenfree pancakes that are the best hands down. Plus I prefer the small feel of a dinette vs diners. Dinette are more intimate and it's fun to people watch. read more

Seems like a typical place that is resting on it's laurels and doesn't try harder anymore. Well put by another Yelper. Went twice in a 1 week span to see if its my imagination. This place was something else at one time but the price and portions are just not what it should be. Example..I wanted potato salad instead of fries. What I got was a small teenie weenie little thing inside one of those cups that hold your soy sauce in. Wtf is that!?!?!? Em I in middle school and asked for the 'other option" instead of the main meal on the lunch menu. Ohhh but Im in Babylon!! Im not worthy!! Not the best wait service either. Attitudes and wanted us out asap. See ya later!! read more

Great local spot with a old school dinner feel. Small wait and always looks busy based on the size but don't let that turn you away, it's worth the wait. Love the local Fire Dept. and beach pics. Friendly staff, and amazing food. The Blue monkey pancakes hit the spot and cinnamon raisin French toast was equally good! Watch the hours only open until noon in Sundays and Cash only! read more

Been living in the area over 30 years and always passed this place by. It's my new fav breakfast place. The wait staff were very nice and very attentive. The breakfast was really good. The omelet my husband ordered was good and the poached eggs with spinach and hollandaise sauce was cooked just right. The decor was cute and very comfortable. Will deff try again, perhaps for lunch. Cash only and closes at 3 read more

The food is good, but the service is bad. The waitress wasn't very personable, and they didn't really check up on how the food was or check to see if they could refill the drinks. I feel they could do much more. read more

I've been going here since I was I. Pre school. They have the most delicious food and the staff is always great. They are cash only which is indicated right above the door when you walk in and on the cash registers up front. In 19 years they've barely changed (in a good way) and are always family friendly. I always recommend to everyone I know because of how great the food is. It's a great place to bring family and friends for a genuinely good meal read more

Love me some Glen's. Great food, great service. My only issue is that they close noon on Sunday. My main issue is that I can't seem to remember this and I keep showing up. Great place, great food! Agc read more

I've only been to glens once and it's a cute little diner. I had pancakes but was a bit rushed when eating them. The waitress was nice, but they seemed like they wanted to turn the table quickly. Good for a quick breakfast, but if you want to sit for a while and eat slowly, you may be a bit rushed. Overall, it was good. read more

Breakfast was Great. Belgium waffle super crispy as requested. Fresh fruit was awesome as was the omelet read more

Glen's Dinette - Cool Diner. Great full breakfast menu all day. And great lunch menu too - American Near Me - Babylon, New York

I can't say enough great things about Glen's dinette. When I go there I have a tough time deciding what to get. My favorite at the moment is huevos rancheros! The best I have had anywhere on the island. My other favorite is their root vegetables!! You can get them in a panini or under poached eggs. Decisions decisions. The staff is so friendly and I ways feel welcome! A gem in Babylon Village. read more

Back here for lunch. Based on our excellent breakfast experience we decided to split a sandwich. Had the Reuben. Again, out of this world. Sweet potato fries on the side (homemade). Wow! Left stuffed. read more

Every Friday morning I order pancakes with the works from Glen! Definitely favorite dinner in the Babylon area.

This was our first time for breakfast at this very popular place. It was good. Eggs, pancakes the usual all great. Service is exceptional because everyone is Your waiter or waitress. Someone is always around to help. read more

Glen's is a Long Island favorite. I have been dining at glens dinette for almost 20 years. Great staff, food and service.

Any time you go to Glen's Dinette you are in for a treat. If you are going for Sunday breakfast, plan to wait a bit to be seated because it is a hot spot. The food is always fresh and made to order. The lunch as well as breakfast menu is pretty extensive. Every thing is always delicious, flavorful and presented well. I don't think it is a place to go with large groups who want to sit together. Parking is a bit tricky too but it is definitely worth it. read more

Wonderful place. Food has always been excellent and they have a great small-town feel in the middle of a busy area. Service is fast and friendly and the other, Hapi, is a great guy, always with a smile. CASH ONLY!!! read more

Amazing food...try their hash its home made like no other hash you have ever tasted. Oh and don't forget the eggs Florentine there also amazing !!!! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a top shelf breakfast read more

Glen's Dinette - Menu @ glens - American Near Me - Babylon, New York

This place has been in Babylon for over 40 years. The breakfast is good, but man you pay through the nose for it. OVER PRICED!!!!

Without a doubt, the food here is the best I've ever had. A bold statement but if you come here you will understand. I recommend the Jughead, Philly cheese wrap, and everything else. Great food, great staff, great owners. What else do you need? Also, the shakes have real ice cream. Breyer's. A throwback to many years ago. Enjoy. read more

Waitstaff is MISERABLE and frankly quite rude! Food is sub par at its best. Im in customer service myself and find it appalling these women have kept their jobs for this long. Sigh* read more

I have been going to Glen's for as long as I can remember. Such a great atmosphere with delicious food and the best waffles ever. Service could be a lot better, the last few times I've been, the restaurant was empty but we were pretty much ignored by the waitress the entire time. I'll still go back for the memories and food but it would be great to get a refill on my coffee and the check without having to get up from the table. read more

"Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?" "People are idiots, Leslie." Echoing the sentiments of those who came before me, Glen's doesn't try to be incessantly endearing, it just is...kinda like a puppy that doesn't realize it's misbehaved. One seldom discovers a place that melds the days of yore with contemporary society without skipping a beat, consequently remaining effortlessly reflective of the former zeitgeist without simultaneously rendering itself a relic. Glen's is still relevant..now if only people would just acknowledge that. Glen's is what it's about. It's about defiance in the face of a society that tries to tell you that anyone not in a rush is not to be trusted, and those who appear to be relaxing aren't ensconced in the same economic turmoil. People are at ease at Glen's, cognizant of the political climate in which we are all entangled yet blissfully deflecting its implications, at least until 3pm hits. Put your guard down and kick back along with the gang here -- it's alarmingly refreshing how much pleasure it'll bring you. Glen's is about opening your eyes and shedding your externally imposed occupation and extrinsically motivated busyness in favor of the oldest pastime: relaxing with good people and good food. It's about not scoffing at people your friends have convinced you are somehow below you. It's about scarfing down your meal but never feeling it, because you deserved the change of pace and everyone knows it. It's about the perfect late-summer day when you know autumn is right around the corner and things are changing for the better, even if it might not have seemed that way 15 minutes ago. Glen's is the turning point, one we don't really get to revel in as much as we should and that we experience far too infrequently. It's the real deal, with little shortcomings like chunks of hot chocolate mix and small glasses of pink grapefruit juice only adding to its appeal. It's about how they're complemented by the paper, handwritten, ad hoc Specials signs; it's about license plates from throughout the country that comprise a rich mosaic of Americana. It's about time slowing down, and you welcoming me and me welcoming you, both of us free from the bustle of the world outside...not in the corny first lines of a bad movie kinda way, but in the kinda way that you embrace wholeheartedly and makes it difficult to part with it. It's about receiving the undivided attention of your waitress -- who calls you hon' -- not just because it's her job, but also (and primarily) because she likes what she's doing, and you both deserve the respect and appreciation. It's about the announcement of down-home orders for the whole joint to hear, the assortment of jams, the wornout countertops, and the solid tunes that take on their own persona when re-interpreted through lively and creative staff renditions. It's about the 20-minute meal, the stir-it-yourself hot chocolate, the sneering at the use of "restroom" rather than "bathroom", and the omnipresent been-here-forever metal delightfully lining everything your eyes come across. It's not superficial, but it is reasonable and it is warm. The only downside of my visit to Glen's was that I had to leave...after all, too much of a good thing is just enough (plus, they closed). read more

Packed on a Saturday @2:30pm. I was glad when a table opened up a few minutes after we came in. Ok, off to a good start I think to myself. I was very optimistic when I came here. I like going on trips to L.I and of course I love trying out new places. However, I was sadly disappointed to say the least. The corn been hash and eggs were looking pretty good in the menu, so I decided to order them expecting what the menu described it to be. My bf ordered the so called (freshly made) chicken fingers and sweet potato fries. The food came in a timely manner, but my hash was unsatisfying. The hash was pink and mediocre while my bf sweet potatoes came in semi burnt. The edges were turning black and the color was not orange anymore, but was almost brown. The chicken fingers were hard and didn't taste freshly made at all. Maybe they just had a bad day, but my food or the service was nothing great for me to come back here for. read more

This place is great for breakfast .u may have to wait a little for a table but dont give up ..I had the eggs and hash which was awsome they make the hash themselves no canned garbage ... read more

Cute place, went on a weekday morning so there was no wait for two people. I ordered two scrambled eggs with sausage. The home fries were a little bland but overall was good. My friend had the banana pecan french toast which was AMAZING. I think it literally uses banana bread as the toast. Highly recommend getting that. We would go back! read more
