A classic Long Island diner with good food, healthy-size (large) portions, and fast and efficient service. Entering this Diner is like stepping back into a Time Machine (haven't been here in 20 years but it remains unchanged) but that works for me for a diner. Food tastes great and service was extremely solid (fast & efficient). We did a burger, a turkey club, and a milkshake and all were good. read more

Ordered a BLT and the bacon was over cooked all the pieces were black or dark brown. The Greek salad with chicken had no olives and the chicken was overcooked and dry. The dolomades (stuffed grape leaves) tasted like they were fresh out of a can (super vinegary) The coleslaw was ok and the service was good Overall very subpar diner food. read more

We met family halfway for lunch. There were six of us. We were seated promptly and drink orders were taken. They have a HUGE menu and there is something for everybody! Our drinks arrived quickly and our orders were taken. The waiter appeared with a bowl of Coleslaw and a plate of dill pickle wedges and 6 small plates! Coleslaw was fresh and delicious. It tasted homemade! Our orders all arrived at once, just as everyone had ordered. The portions were L A R G E and everything was hot! Our waiter came around with coffee refills and offers of drink refreshments. We saved room for dessert! Everything was so good and we were taken care of in such a nice way, even though they were busy. This is a gem of a place and we will be back. P.S. We all had doggy bags to bring home! read more

Great food, massive portions, and excellent service. You definitely get your money's worth here -- everything was delicious and cooked just right. One of the best diners around! read more

FoodServiceAmbience Been going here since they reopened, about 10 years ago. Steve, the owner, and his team--brothers and other dedicated staff--are welcoming, attentive, accommodating. The menu is wide ranging from omelettes and pancakes to salads, seafood, Italian dishes, many more. Especially on snowy, icy days, we're lucky to have Hicksville Diner close by. Enjoy! read more

This little small diner in Hicksville provided a cozy atmosphere with a friendly staff. Don't let the size of this place fool you. It may be small in terms of interior space, but makes up for it in sheer deliciousness. The menu features classic diner comfort food, and the portions were generous. The decor is simple and retrospective of the early 80's, but the charm of the place lies in its authenticity and taste. I had the Lumberjack breakfast with Challah French toast, sausage and eggs. My wife ordered the California omlette with home fries and toast. The items were cooked perfectly, the omlette and French toast was moist and flavorful. The coffee was pretty darn good as well. The service was prompt, and our overall experience was a delightful one. We look forward to coming back again soon. NOTE: Small parking lot. There is a dead-end street behind the diner with some spaces. They also have 3 bathrooms; one is dedicated for handicapped people with wheelchairs. read more

Casual diner buzz, owner was speaking with customers in Greek which was cool and authentic. Food was delicious, eggs were very well cooked, service was fast and friendly. Clean too. read more

Old time diner. Comfortable seating, friendly, timely service and delicious food. Clean space, clean, small bathrooms. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible. But Fox News and political talk all day long. I don't care who you believe; just don't have the box preaching to me while I pay to eat. I hear enough of it on the outside. read more

Been here a few times for omelettes before I knew about the Ikea breakfast specials. Omelettes were light and fluffy. Hash was overpowered by onion. Always quick and friendly service. Not as art deco glam as other diners but still cozy. I haven't been there when their small parking lot was filled though. read more

Though a little out of the way, but still at the corner of main thoroughfares Old Country Rd and South Oyster Bay Rd, the Hicksville Diner is a beacon among all the other Long Island Diners and serving up really good diner eats. If you want a BIG American breakfast, you can't do much better. The layout is typical with shiny chrome exterior with a wraparound parking lot. You walk in to find counter seating and booth tables. We slide into our booth and go through the substantial menu, but we know we're here for the breakfast. I wanted the Deuces Wild, which is 2 of everything: 2x eggs + 2x bacon + 2x sausage + 2x ham + 2x pancakes + home fries = 1 Happy me. I could have used 2x toast to sop up the runny yolks of my sunnyside up eggs, but that will be for next time. My wife had the French Toast Deluxe with 4x BiG slices of egg dipped Challah bread toasted on the flat top grill, along with 2x sausage + 2x eggs over EZ. And amazingly, it all disappeared. Mmmm...BurP Now that I'm writing this review, I'm getting a hankering for a bacon cheeseburger... read more

About half of the size of the Broadway Diner but 10x better! The ambiance and food were wonderful. Everything was brighter, cleaner, and fresher. Went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch with my bestie. It was getting busy around that time too. The booths were comfy. Plenty of bar seats if that's your fancy! The restroom was nice and clean. She ordered the Roast Beef au Jus Sandwich. I had the Eggs Benedict with Feta and Spinach. And we shared a third plate of the Cream Filled French Toast with Nutella and Banana. The feta and spinach were too salty. Would have been better plain/without. My hash browns were served cold....as if they had been ready made a while ago and served without warming up, at the very least. I didn't mind it that day, but everyone loves fresh out of the skillet/grill/pan/etc. hash browns! I removed a star for that and slow water refills. Next time I'll just get the French Toast. That really hit the spot. My bestie loved her dish. Said I should get it next time. We'll see. Happy eats! read more

Out of the Ballpark. In town visiting relatives. We got in early, so we decided to get a later breakfast. WOW Very large portions. Very large flavors. Very large friendly service. We enjoyed the whole event. We will return. Highly recommend. read more

I went there once and that was enough. I wasn't impress at all. The place was freezing cold and this was in the winter. Secondly. My French toast was soggy so I sent it back. Overall, I didn't like it at all. read more

The food is really bad. Everything is dried, especially the chicken sandwich. I always love Diner Hamburger, but this one ... I will never return for the food. The service is decent though. read more

This is the highest rated diner near me so I had to try it! I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. The good - coffee was strong but not too bitter; the pancakes were fluffy; eggs were cooked exactly how I asked; Canadian bacon/ham was a good size. The bad - sausages were those skinny little ones with very little flavor, the bacon was not crispy and also skinny and little; and even though the home fries had peppers and I think onions (could be wrong) they were not very flavorful. My friend had egg white omelette and enjoyed them although I had a bite, and I thought they were lacking some seasoning. The place is not big but we were seated right away but it was a Wednesday. May be an issue on weekend. Service was very good with coffee refills aplenty, so I rounded up to 4 stars. Just do t come here expecting to be blown away... read more

I just visited this diner last night with my boyfriend because we were craving breakfast for dinner. We both ordered omelettes which came with home fries and your choice of toast. He got the Rancheros Omelette which came with peppers, onions, jalapeños and sausage. I ordered the Cobb Omelette which came with diced avocado, bacon pieces, and cheddar cheese. The omelettes were very good and flavorful but my only complaint was that the omelette itself was a little greasy. Otherwise everything else was very good! read more

For myself and my wife this is definitely one and done! $60 for a cheeseburger deluxe , chicken quesadilla, one glass of water and $3.95 ice-tea this was outrageous. It's a shame a couple can't have a quick bite at a diner anymore. read more

Great food, service clean diner and restrooms! Food is perfectly perfect and delecious.

My wife and I ate here today following reviews indicating it may be the best diner on Long Island. I don't think it met those lofty ideals. I started with some coffee that was so thin it tasted almost like hot water. And the milk and sugar they offered didn't help much. I had one of my favorites, a bagel with lox, cream cheese, and vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers). It was OK; the vegetables were on point, and the lox was huge. The bagel was more of a problem, being toasted but not well, and left kind of soggy. My wife had scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast. The eggs were a bit overcooked, but we appreciate that they used real eggs. The sausage was pretty standard, nothing wrong with it but it didn't blow us away. The toast was great, though. It wasn't overcooked or undercooked, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The standout was the pumpkin pancakes. They were amazing. My wife ordered them but we both sampled them. She was impressed and I was blown away. Phenomenal! And it makes us think their regular pancakes are probably just as good but we didn't try. She had espresso that didn't taste like espresso. The service was good; not too slow but not intrusive either. He was fast, efficient, and got us exactly what we ordered. I think the real problem is that the diner became a victim of its own success. I think the Yelp ratings may have overset my expectations. The food wasn't bad, overall (although the bagel could have used some more TLC and the coffee situation was really problematic!), but we were expecting to be blown away when it was just "okay." read more

Not too crowd, have plenty of food for your order. On the higher side of costs for a diner, but IMHO, worth the extra cost!

After being sick for the passed few days, I had to get out. Nothing better than a Long Island diner. My parents dine here somewhat frequently, so this is where I ended up with them. The host greeted us upon arrival and we were seated. As with most diners, the menu is pretty simple. Breakfast, munchies, sandwiches, burgers, some entrees and of course, dessert. I went with a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato, minus the bread. The chicken was nicely seasoned and had good flavor. Bacon could have been a bit more crispy, but it was still good. My stepdad ordered a turkey burger deluxe. While he enjoyed it he commented that it wasn't as flavorful as it usually is. My mother got a cheeseburger and said the same thing...that it wasn't as flavorful as usual. I'm very big on consistency....I hope my grilled chicken is just as good when I return next time. Based on my parent's comments, I'm not quite sure it will be. Service was decent. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. read more

Believe the hype! My inlaws said this place was good. I waited too long, and now I lament the meals I ate at other diners. Alright, my wife got eggs and pancakes. She let me try each. These pancakes are SO soft and sweet. She got strawberries and it's like they just picked them off the bush. Good lord that was good! She also got eggs. Fluffy and perfect, holy hell. I got a grilled cheese sandwich. They made one with pepper jack, which you NEVER get, and damn it was delicious. Hey did you see the monstrous plate of onion rings that I got? And, dude, the service is fantastic. Such nice people, always looking out. I asked if they would switch ESPN on, and it was no issue, and they did it before I noticed. My wife ask for more syrup, and he WARMED IT UP for her! Dude, even the restrooms are super clean. Yeah. This is our new diner. read more

We drove through the night from NC and met a friend here for breakfast. I haven't been to a New York diner in way too long and had a bit of sticker shock when I saw the prices. I'm assuming most places in NY had to raise prices due to being shut down so I get it. I ordered a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Was just like I remembered. Yummy. My granddaughter loved her waffle but no way could she finish it. Service was quick and though the diner could use a bit of updating, it had that Long Island charm. read more

So we were out in Hicksville, looking for a place to eat, and of course, like always we went on the Internet and found this diner. The second we walked in, we were greeted by friendly faces. We struck up a quick conversation with the owner, who is very very nice. After only waiting for about five minutes for a table, we were seated. In a nutshell, the food was excellent. Very fresh and clean. The atmosphere had a very nostalgic feel while being immaculately clean. Prices were fair and overall excellent experience besides the service being really great. Highly recommended. Completely happy with our choice and will be returning again and again and again. read more

What a superb diner!! I travelled to NY from the UK with my Grandson to see ZZ Top. Ethan wanted to visit a traditional American diner so we gave Hicksville Diner a try as it was near our hotel - as soon as we walked in I knew it was a good decision. Really friendly staff and the food was AWESOME, great quality and great value. We ended up eating there 4 times. We were treated like old friends. 10/10. Thank you all at Hicksville Diner!!! read more

I am reviewing it base on my dish. The service was good but my cheeseburger deluxe was tasteless, even after adding salt and pepper. The burger deluxe was pricey, just as expensive as dining at the Hard Rock Cafe. The only difference is that the hard rock gives you a nice thick patty. This on was on the thin side. Felt nauseous afterwards. read more

French dip, Greek salad and mashed potatoes were good. Chicken souvlaki and burger were just ok. Service was great!

Good old fashioned American diner. Good prices and VERY generous helpings make for a fine combination. Facility is immaculate and sparkling clean and service attentive. Staff are attentive and pleasant. They make it clear you're not just a customer, but family. read more
