I order an American Cheese omelette with chicken sausage and turkey bacon. I also got an english muffin with whipped butter. I was able to construct a pretty great breakfast sandwich with all that food. Oh and it also came with home fries. The service was fine. The waiter forgot our drinks but quickly brought them over after we reminded him. If I lived in this area, I would go back! My vegan and vegetarian friends both seemed to really enjoy their meals. I wish more diners offered vegan menus like this place! read more

Lindenhurst Diner - American cheese omelette with turkey bacon, chicken sausage, home fries, and an English muffin - Diners Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

The food, it's presentation, taste and the service in this fine diner were on the evening we are there, outstanding to extraordinary in almost all aspects. My wife ate and enjoyed the Texas Burger on a crossed brioche bun and a substantial wire basket of fries. I ordered Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken dinner. Presentation and the construction of this meal was way different than I expected, in a good way. Made of two long boneless fillets of white chicken fried and breaded --on the outside only of each fillet. Between the fillets was the spinach and feta cheese- hence its name. It was exceptionally pleasing to the eye and taste buds. On the plate was a bowl of dipping sauce made of butter and dill which was a deliciously perfect complement to the chicken. Service at the diner is different than most others; the servers also clean glasses behind the counter and spot weep the floor. Our server who is known there as " Joey Rigatoni" was exceptional. We will return and recommend. read more

The food was not cooked as requested. 3 of us asked for eggs over medium and one over medium well. They all came back like unhooked eggs, disgusting, unless you like raw eggs. The potatoes were like frozen potatoes already cut in cubes and also tasteless. The chicken sausage was tasteless and not eat able. It took a very long time to get served. Had to ask for a coffee refill. Will never go there again. We went because someone said the food was good. They were wrong. read more

Classic diner with plenty of vegan options! The first time I went they had a whole separate vegan menu- this time it was paired down to options on the regular menu. But no matter- still plenty of choices from sweet and savory breakfast, salads, sandwiches. Vegan hot chocolate was rich and perfect for a cold day. Tofu scramble could use a tad more flavor and the potatoes could be crispier but still tasty nonetheless! read more

Came back to try the updated vegan menu and feel about the same. The menu itself was extensive and looked AMAZING! Love the effort being put forth and really appreciate the care taken. We got the broccoli potato skins to start and they were pretty good. It's potato halves with broccoli florets and cheese sauce with a side of ranch. The ranch was the best part - tasted very rich and homemade. It was a little weird that there were full florets of broccoli on top and made it a little awkward to cut. Taste was okay, cheese sauce tastes like Daiya. I'd say 3/5 stars. For an entree I got the Vegan Chick'n Triple Decker (I think that's the name) and was pretty disappointed. It was suuuper dry and plain. The Chick'n was breaded nicely but still super spongey. It was cut into quarters and I only ate one of them and then filled up on fries. 2/5 for that one. Bf got the Mac N Cheese Burger and it was okay but for TWENTY dollars (!!) was not worth it. The burger itself was good (it's an impossible burger so that's to be expected) but the Mac N Cheese was bland and overall the dish was underwhelming. And on top of that to still charge $3 for fries? $23 for a burger with bland Mac + fries? Kinda ridiculous. 2/5 stars. After that we got two sweet soul desserts which were awesome as usual!! Will keep trying and supporting this place bc it's a local business and I appreciate the effort so much; unfortunately my two visits haven't left me satisfied though. I'm yet to try breakfast there, so I'm still eager to get there for that. read more

Used to love this diner but slowly going downhill. Went here tonight 4/8 and waited 20 minutes before someone even came to give us water. They have one server doing the entire floor with 1 busser. I was also very dissatisfied with the bill at the end. We went with another family but sat at the same table and we each got a big one her one burger special (two separate checks) NOT Family. When it was time to pay the credited the family we were with their buy one get one but not us. We thought it was an oversight but when we questioned it they said "one per table"... how do the decide which family gets the discount? Very strange and the waiter should have told us that when we said we want the big one get one burgers. It is a very unprofessional way to do business and after years of going this will probably be my last time just out of principle. read more

Long Island is the land of diners. They range in quality from the awful to the fantastic. The Lindy excels at being a member of the latter. It's always clean, bordering on immaculate. Even when it's packed with hungry customers, it's a relatively quiet, almost placid environment. The wait staff is always friendly and accommodating and the owners usually work the front counter. If you haven't figured out yet, I love this place. I'd put their burgers on par with some of the best I've ever had. Personally, I'm partial to the French onion burger, but you can't go wrong with any of them. What sets this place apart is their specials that run from 5pm(?) to 830pm. In particular, the mixed grill is a sight to behold. You are given a plate with a marinated chicken breast, marinated skirt steak, and a full, bone-in pork chop. With this, you get soup (pay the extra $2 for the French onion), an enormous salad, two generous sides (the tater tots could be dish all its own), and anything out of the dessert case. ...and let me stress that I'd cut off one of my fingers for a piece of their rainbow cookie cake. I've also had the meatloaf...not something I'd ever order anywhere normally...and it blew my socks off. In short, we've been going there for the last three years and there hasn't been one time that we've been remotely disappointed. This is truly a hidden gem in Lindenhurst. read more

Nothing but good food, good memories, and good vibes! A few years ago, I visited with my loving grandma, and we had an amazing meal and took the cutest photos. Today, four years since her passing, I visited again and sat in the same booth, with warm memories of her. My family even visited years ago. This diner has an extensive menu, breakfast all day, and a separate, beautiful vegan menu. Everything is delicious and quality, cooked to perfection with an eye for detail. Even so, everything is fairly priced and most come with sides, such as soup or fries! The Chicken Cutlet Sandwich was simple but delicious and super filling! It came with fries, coleslaw, and a pickle. The shakes are only $9 and very stacked and beautifully presented! Amazingly delicious, of course. They will make almost anything you want or customize menu items to your liking! You can also get 15% via text alerts, which is generous. The staff is kind and welcoming. All around an amazing, modern, and classy diner! read more

This place is an amazing find? It's a great diner with a separate full vegan menu. Vegan gyro with Greek salad was yummy and their sandwiches are great. Looking forward to coming back for a vegan breakfast of pancakes or waffles. read more

THE BEST DINER IN THE WORLD. Never fails, always on point. And the vegan menu????? How can I properly describe it... imagine getting the tallest ladder you can find, climbing up into heaven, cutting out a piece of actual heaven, and taking a bite? That's the only and best way to describe it. I'm not even a religious person but when I walk into the Lindenhurst Diner I'm thanking the good lord it's exists every time. 11/10 would recommend. read more

The food here is so good. Sooo many options. The service, however, is a different story. Unwelcoming, unfriendly. Didn't even get an offer to refill my water. And it was not crowded. I won't be back here for this reason and I will not be ordering takeout like I have so many times in the past. South Bay Diner is much better! read more

Can't speak to the service as we've only done takeout but food has been quite good. Great burgers & sandwiches and excellently prepared breakfast fare here. My only complaint would be that the non creamy soups tend to be rather oily, french onion for example is borderline shiny. That to one end the food has been consistent which is rare for a diner these days and we will definitely continue ordering from them. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Rudest server award goes to "Natividad" and the food quality isn't worth the aggravation and wait time.

Went to lindenhurst diner today for lunch and got the impossible nacho, cheesy fries and the fried chicken sandwich on a pita (didn't know the sandwich came with fries already...) I actually really liked the sandwich but the other two weren't that great. The nachos were terrible. Needs a better cheese and more flavor. And the cheesy fries needs a different cheddar cheese brand but they said they'll be changing it soon which is great to hear. Other than that if you want to go out with family to the diner you got options now. I recommend that chicken sandwich Total for everything was $40? I think which is fine because it was a lot of food actually. Overall rating for the meal was a 7/10. Can't wait till they make more adjustments to the menu and fix recipes and maybe make something homemade instead of store bought packaged products. Like making homemade vegan cheese dip would be awesome for the nachos. And changed the impossible burger and get beyond patties and crumbles. read more

I haven't tried a lot of items on the menu but the grilled cheese is one of the best I've had on the island!! Staff is always friendly.

I literally travel 15 miles to eat breakfast here on weekends. Great service and above par food. I especially like their potatoes and rye bread. Excellent farmers omelette as well. read more

I was so excited to eat here. Unfortunately, there were not many gluten free options for me. The vegan options looked delicious, I thought I would have more options. We came for the vegan menu for me. I read a few reviews good about gluten free options. There definitely was not. When it comes to food allergies it is frightening to have a server who doesn't know the menu or understands food allergies. Unfortunately, we won't come back due to the limited options and not feeling completely safe eating here. I do highly recommend this diner if you are not gluten free or have any food allergies. read more

The host was friendly but the wait staff not so much. Regardless , I ordered a French Onion soup - which we all know is a pricey soup to begin with by comparison with other soups--but the size that came (?) The picture may not really capture how small the bowl was but it was about the size of a small coffee cup! I thought I ordered from the kids menu. Lol. Did soup bowls shrink here? The prices certainly didn't. I also ordered a BLT with an egg on a roll not toasted. The waiter kept repeating "With an egg?", "With an egg"? Yes, that's what I said. When the food came, my sandwich was on toasted white bread. He should have repeated my roll request:-- "On a roll"? On a roll"? I don't like sending food back for small issues so I just ate it. Food is just ok. No wow factor but you'll overpay for what you get. read more

Host sat us at the end booth adjacent to the bathrooms. A few minutes after being seated and ordering construction started in one of the bathrooms with loud grinding and hammering which continued all throughout our breakfast. When I spoke to the manager when I went to pay about being seated there by the host his excuse was "he's just a kid" and "you should have said something". You would think a manager would tell his staff to keep patrons seated away from the noise. He offered us nothing in return and we will never eat there again. read more

I woke up this morning and the only thing that was on my mind was ordering breakfast from Lindenhurst Diner !

It was made to perfection, the french fries are great! They also give you quality and quantity ! BEST DINER EVER read more

My co worker and I ordered here via doordash for lunch. We were in dire need of a good place for fried chicken and tacos. After reading some of the reviews we decide to go ahead and order. What a disappointment! The Alabama fried chicken came with fried chicken cutlets. Certainly not what we expected. The shrimp tacos were more like popcorn shrimp tacos. Very hard and bland. read more

This was supposed to be a Philly cheesesteak this is a sorry site for a Philly cheesesteak if I could've gave it a quarter star I would've! I don't think it's asking too much to have some meat and cheese on a philly cheese! I am a regular at this place but there are too many other places to go to! read more

Our waitress Dawn was awesome! She is very knowledgeable,efficient , and prompt! Excellent service. I had the Italian panini ( I asked for a fried cutlet instead of grilled ) came with red roasted peppers and mozzarella cheese.( it was poor quality cheese did not melt) however the panini was hot and delicious, only could eat 1/2. It came with a ton of French fries that were long and temperature hot, delicious, coleslaw and a pickle. My husband had the Brooklyn special sandwich, unbelievably piled with corn beef, pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, on toasted marble rye bread , nice n temperature hot, also a ton of French fries, cole slaw and a pickle. There was so much on the plate that it left you no room for anything but to enjoy your meal! We both had iced tea n was great! We were not rushed through our meal! The diner is spacious, the hanging lights are kept very clean and sparkly ( who wants dust falling on their food) . We went on a Thursday evening little past 7pm and was told we had a bit of wait which was only 5 minutes! Can't beat that! It was a wonderful experience, much better than a few others locally whom now are all closing around 3 pm leaving customers to go else where! You will not be disappointed. Bon Apetite Thank you! read more

I do not recommend! I ordered 2 egg omelets ($44) for pickup when I brought it home, the eggs were just disgusting full of grease the hash browns were hard as a rock absolutely disgusting we threw it out!!! Never going back! Wish I can give 0 stars. This is not the first time we threw food out from there! read more

Fast, friendly service, really cute decor, and a plant-based menu that is to die for! As a vegan, there are very few options in the area that aren't just French fries and side salads, so I was really impressed with the offerings here. I've had the buffalo chicken wrap and the impossible burger, both of which were delicious. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes! :) read more

Voted one of the best Diners on LI and deserves to be so , many diners have gone downhill , but not Lindenhurst everything is fresh and huge portions . Dawn was very attentive , they have a full vegan menu as well, and many off the charts shakes , very clean plenty of parking , will defiantly come back again soon read more

Visit Date: June 23, 2019 I wanted to visit this diner for awhile but most of the time we go to a diner my hubby wants to go to Terrace that's his favorite. Well I got my chance with my toddler to visit this diner at 1 AM. My backstory to this review is that most of the time my son is home with my MIL and hubby they let him nap late and than I am stuck up with him for at least half the night. I freaked out because I came home from work at 7 and he was napping since 5 PM. So I took a shower and told my husband I had to get some sleep and I slept from 8 to 11. Hubby woke me up at 11 because he wanted to go to bed, thankfully he gave our son a bath at least. So it was around 12 or 12:30 of course our son wasn't going to sleep because he napped late and he was trying to play with daddy while daddy tried to sleep so I asked him if he wanted to go out to get ice cream and he said yes. First we ended up at 711, he got a slurpee than he said he wanted to go to the diner for ice cream so we drove across the street and went to the diner. I was nervous because a lot of times my son doesn't sit in restaurants hopefully that will change. What do you know at 1 AM he was pretty much an angel at the diner with me. I thought I was going to have to box up my food but I was able to eat it. My son got chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and sprinkles, I wanted to eat something I could eat on WW that was 0 points so I opted for an omelette with no cheese and veggies. I got fries in case my son would eat the french fries and toast in case he'd eat the toast. My son got his ice cream first and ate what he wanted of it, than my meal came and he sat right in the booth with me and had the toast while I had the omelette. The omelette was pretty good, I had to add seasoning, I was skipping ketchup because that's one point on WW and it didn't seem they had hot sauce although if I asked maybe they would have bought it. Our waiter was pretty nice he seemed to get a kick out of our son and if he had any judgement as to why I had a child out at 1 AM he kept it to himself. I'd come here again, good service, nice classic diner atmosphere. Good experience overall. read more

Love the food great matzo ball soup the shakes are delicious what I like about this diner you can even order food for delivery at 9 pm

I've been to this Diner many times. What impressed me this last time is they follow cdc guidelines. Hand sanitizer at every table in cool mason jars. Staff all wear masks properly and use hand sanitizer. They use disinfectant wipes to wipe down menus and door handles. It was impressive how they took precautions to insure the safety of customers. Plus the food was amazing. I recommend the mac and cheese burger. Friendly. Overall, very impressed. read more

Lindenhurst Diner - Mac and Cheese Burger - Diners Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

Been coming here since we moved to Lindenhurst. Food has always been good. Tonight we placed a pick up order of a few appetizers to pick on since we didn't want to have to cook tonight. We are a family of 2 adults a 4 year old and a 2 year old. They don't really eat much so we were not worried. When my husband came home with the food we both were actually stunned to see that the portions were horribly small. The cost of an order of mozzarella sticks was $14.00 and we got 4 mozzarella sticks. 4.. every other diner I have ever been to always gives 6-8. 4 sticks for 14.00 is quite ridiculous when you break it down to how much they are charging each. You could literally buy 4 packs of 10 of string cheese for the price they are charging. We also got mozzarella fries and the container was not even full with fries and that was another 10.00+ item. Such a shame we will unfortunately not be going back and will travel the distance back to the embassy diner to actually get our moneys worth and not be ripped off. Especially in times that we are in now, when we go out we expect to get a decent portion when we are paying what this place is charging. read more

Came for Father's Day, the waitress I had was so attentive, super friendly, the food was great and brought out quickly. Fooood was a great portion and really yummy ! read more

I've been dying to try this place out because they have a full vegan menu. I wasn't too hungry so honestly just got a salad which was pretty good, just not sure it was worth $20. the salad included mixed greens, caramelized walnuts, cucumbers and tomatoes with a vinaigrette type of dressing. The "chicken" was pretty good but it really was just a regular mock chicken patty that I could probably buy at stop and shop. So I do believe if the portion size was a little bigger, it would justify the extremely expensive price. I won't lie, the good was good, so I might come back and try some of their other veggie dishes! read more

Zero stars worst service I had ever experience. completely messed up my order and also didn't bring me the other half of order they charged me for. Called them back and the girl taking the orders was this and never brought me the correct order. I had to go back myself and demand my money back. Never ever go back to this diner. read more

I ordered a Chicken Cobb Salad to-go. The description said "Avocado, cherry tomato, cheddar, bacon, hard boiled egg. Honey balsamic dressing". My salad came with green bell pepper, cucumber and also no hard boiled egg. I am mildly allergic to bell peppers and wasn't able to eat the salad at all. I'm very disappointed. Incorrect descriptions can be dangerous to people with food allergies and it's also annoying to not get what was expected. read more

My nephew looked up the best rated diners on Long Island and this came up as one of the top 5. I don't know how??? There were four of us and no one thought there was anything special about the food. I ordered what was supposed to be steak tips on garlic bread with melted mozzarella, I don't eat the bread or the fries so I asked for a side salad instead and no bread. They brought me the dish and all that was on there was a few little pieces of meat with some melted cheese and a little lettuce with raw white onion on it and they charged me $20.50!!! I don't mind paying a high price when the food is worth it. Needless to say none of us will be going back there again. read more

Vegan menu is awesome! I had the vegan chicken parm and it was really tasty and just like chicken. The house salad with vegan ranch was also good. My friend had the normal Philly cheese steak sandwich which she said was good a little too much bread compared to the amount of meat on the sandwich We were seated quickly, COVID guidelines were followed and everyone wore masks. read more

My sisters, our kids and I went here this morning and had the pleasure of having James B. as our server. It was busy!! But we had such a great experience! James never made us wait for anything. Immediately took the kids order and bought their food out right away which was AWESOME!! Our drinks were always filled and never really had to even ask for anything. Even though he was super busy, he didnt show it, which always makes for a great dining experience for the guests. All the servers are fantastic here. We come here every so often from about 30 minutes away for there incredible vegan options. It's my favorite vegan menu on long island! I get the vegan chikn caesar wrap! So delicious! We typically order apps, we just weren't so hungry this time. My sister got the bfast quesadilla (not vegan) and my other sister got the vegan sausage egg and cheese. The kids got a vegan mickey pancake and a grilled cheese. Everything was SO good!! We really had such a great experience. The restaurant christmas decor was cute too! Thanks James and the Lindenhurst diner for an awesome brunch!!! We'll be back soon!!! Can't wait!!! read more

Probably my new favorite diner. As a vegetarian, despite most diners having mile long menus, there usually isn't that many good options to order. This place is the exception. Their extensive vegan menu made me feel like a little kid on christmas. Their vegan buffalo cheese fries?? AMAZING. Seriously, their in house vegan cheese sauce was so good i almost thought it might be real cheese. My boyfriend who has zero dietary restrictions liked it as well! He got a burger and i got the vegan LD chick'n wrap. Portions were big, just like most diners. We left full and satisfied with plans to come back soon! Service was good as well, our server looked like one of the only ones there and i saw him walking all over the restaurant and as someone who also works in the restaurant business i know how hectic that feels. He did a great job considering how many tables he must've had. I'd also like to mention that their outdoor seating is underneath a large tent, but it isn't enclosed like other diners. I've been wary to eat outside post quarantine at other diners because their tents defeat the purpose of eating outside by having an enclosed tent. This was not the case here! Their tables were 6 ft apart and the tents purpose was to not have the sun beating down on you. Can't wait to try more of their vegan items!!! read more
