Our food was served very quickly and the portions are huge. My son had a hungry man burrito and I had the Mac and cheese short ribs. I took home my Mac and cheese short rib and I am on my 3rd attempt at finishing it! My son's burrito was so large I wasn't sure how he was going to get that in his mouth. He was able to eat most of it. The home fries were nicely prepared and seasoned well! Our drink glasses were never empty. I watched the staff and they were constantly engaging with customers. You felt like you were visiting a friend's home. I watched them celebrate someone's birthday, greet regular customers and every customer was given a warm acknowledgment. This place deserves all the hype it receives and I'm sad it has taken me so long to try it!

If you're someone who isn't used to drinking coffee, do yourself a favor and don't order the quad version and then wonder why you're awake all night!

It was a Sunday, the day of the sabbath. On this particular day, our house of worship was this delightful, eloquent and quaint cow colored establishment nestled between a CVS and an auto insurance agency. The weather was warm as the sun and clouds jockeyed for position. The scent of raindrops lingered in the June air as we awaited the invitation to dine from the maître d. As we awaited our beckoning, we were enthralled with the acoustic serenades of an old timer strumming his six string that he presumably bought back in the summer of '69. Although, a wager of an hour wait was negotiated, we were pleasantly surprised when we were called after only a 20 short minutes. We felt honored, chosen to bequeathed the opportunity to eat. We were king and queen among peasants as we strutted in to the castle of brunch. Once seated, we perused a rather extensive menu catering to many a types of pallets. In the background, the melodic and rhythmic sound of water droplets echoed through the establishment as it fell from an ac unit and onto the heads of unsuspecting guests. Depending on your hygiene bar of acceptability and the temperature, a cool droplet of AC exhaust water atop your head may be somewhat inviting. The service was immediate, some would say rushed... as the hostess ran over to our table and hastily took our drink order. She proceeded to ask us if we wanted coffee 127 more times throughout our meal. It's presumed she either owned stock in the Columbia coffee manufacturer or was carrying on an affair with the coffee delivery driver, Pedro. During the meal, I felt like Drew Barrymore on the airplane in The Wedding Singer. Without fail, EVERY PERSON that walked by slammed my elbows with the force of a thousand airline drink carts. In conclusion, the food here is so good, one gentleman had a seizure after tasting the cinnamon French toast with banana and pecans. It's not clear whether the gallon of coffee that was siphoned down his throat played a role in said seizures. Investigations are ongoing. Paramedics were also called in for unrelated incident for a young woman in the bathroom OD'ing on boysenberry syrup, which has become an epidemic in median and high income areas, when brunch is occurring. The use of narcan had to be administered to revive her from her sugar high. read more

If you're in the area and craving a hearty, delicious brunch, Maureen's Kitchen is the place to go. This cozy, charming spot is a local favorite for a reason, the food is outstanding, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. The real star of the menu, however, are the pancakes. These are, without a doubt, some of the best. Thick, fluffy, and perfectly golden brown, they come out piping hot and are an absolute treat with every bite. Whether you top them with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream, they're a must-order item that never disappoints. But it's not just about the pancakes. Maureen's Kitchen offers a fantastic variety of breakfast options, all made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care. From savory omelets to hearty sandwiches, everything is cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, and you'll leave feeling full and satisfied, but not overstuffed. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, with a warm, down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel like you're at a friend's house. Whether you're enjoying a quiet breakfast alone, catching up with friends, or sharing a meal with family, it's a welcoming spot where you can relax and enjoy great food. In short: - solid, delicious breakfast. - pancakes are the star read more

Walking into this storied establishment after 18 long years, a wave of nostalgia hit me. Add to this the eye of an experienced chef--my husband--and our visit evolves into a culinary critique. The aroma in the room, rich and inviting, harkened back to fond memories while stoking our appetites. The staff didn't skip a beat, delivering impeccable and friendly service from the get-go. We were served generous portions, quite the feast for two! Each dish transcended mere 'good taste', each a celebration of flavor, innovation and skill. The haute cuisine showcased a clarity of vision and showcased the kitchen's uncompromising commitment to quality. A chef himself, my husband was thoroughly impressed. He appreciated the deftness of the seasoning and said, "This is beyond superb." This visit has truly managed to reinstate my faith in the timeless charm of the restaurant. Looking forward to our next culinary trip down memory lane here. #RestaurantReview #FeastForTheSenses #ChefApproved read more

This is just an update because I went back home to this place. I've had quite a few breakfasts, and nothing even comes CLOSE to Maureen's! This time, I went with Apple Cinnamon Pancakes which were of course, amazing. I ordered the Oatmeal again this time and it was way better this time around. The first time I tried it, I ate it dry and it was more of a soft granola. But, they give you milk with it for a reason. Ooooooh boy, was it heavenly. And speaking of heavenly. If you ever see that there is Cannoli Stuffed French Toast on the specials, you order it RIGHT AWAY DAMNIT! I'm not a big fan of cannoli's and I always catch a lot of crap for it. But, this may have been one of the greatest breakfast items I've ever eaten. I won't break down the flavor profile like I know what I'm talking about- I'll wait for Guy Fieri to finally get his ass to this place and put it on his show. But seriously, get that French Toast. Now. read more

Maureen's Kitchen did it again!!! I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners Kevin a week ago. We had a heart felt, and genuine conversation. I advised Kevin how much my fiancée loved their lemon poppy ricotta pancakes. Kevin's response was come next week, they will be on the menu for you. unbeknownst to us all, I had a death in the family that week. I could not think of anything better than to bring my family members who were hit the hardest to Maureen's Kitchen to get some pancakes, and laughter. What a success! Kevin made sure to to tell the staff to have a table for me, so I didn't have to wait. The pancakes were amazing to say the least! Just wanted to write this, and recognize a staple in the community that deserves it. We love you all at Maureen's Kitchen, and thank you for being great. God bless, and please continue to be a success in all the years to come. See you all soon. read more

I know this place is a staple in that community, and I have eaten here twice. Once for lunch, once for breakfast. I must say the food is good, it is homemade and fresh. The wait staff seems rushed and frantic becasue of the business I guess...but it made me feel anxious, not relaxed. I am a breakfast lover and the pancakes were good, not great but good. I have had better and I tend to be a french toast fan but for some reason they didn't have them that day. Odd. Lunch was chicken salad w/ a side of potato salad which I thought was better then the main meal. Mmmm. The line to get in was not worth the wait. I feel that with all those ppl waiting upwards of an hour sometimes, just fell a little flat for the hype. It was good but not WOW. The cows are cute, try it once and you'll be able to say you ate at a place that has been reviewed on TV & in magazines, that's about it. read more

If you come early enough you will get a seat and maybe not have t wait. I am not a "waiter " so I sit at the counter and the service there is exceptional. This family run establishment has been around forever I thought I remembered it from across the street before they built Avalon and I was right.. It was a small shack with delicious and tasty food... at a reasonable price. I had their specialty pancakes today, butter and sugar free syrup on the side. I ordered a tall glass of OJ and I was delighted.

We got here at 8:01 am on a rainy Sunday morning, and it was already almost full! That'll give you an idea of how popular this place is. My wife had nutella-stuffed croissant french toast with bananas and walnuts. Bacon on the side. Out of this world! I had pistachio pancakes -- I was expecting just a hint of pistachio, but was pleasantly surprised that they had a bold flavor. The coffee was very strong and a little muddy -- just the way I like it! This was a great, very satisfying meal. Our server Jerry was excellent. The cow decor is fun! By the time we left (about 8:45), there were already people waiting for tables. Get here early to avoid the rush! read more

I really love this place. They always have ridiculous and wonderful specials. Lunch is amazing, too! I love their lobster rolls! The only way they could be even better was if htey had waffles, but I'm just being picking- try an Egg McMoe cuz your mouth will thank you. It's usually really busy though, so you have to come at an off time or expect to wait. The not taking credit card thing also usually throws people for a loop when I bring them there, but the food more than makes up for it. I usually get take out because it's faster and the food is just as delicious. read more

I just don't understand the hype about Maureen's. The food is fine...nothing special...and definitely not worth waiting an hour for. It could be so much better if they actually made things from scratch. I'm not 100% positive but I believe their pancakes, waffles, etc all come from a bought mix as do all of their baked goods. Their "home made" corned beef hash is canned hash that they mix a little sauteed onions and peppers into. Whatever they're doing, I guess they're doing it right because everyone else seems to love...just not me. read more

I have loved this place ever since I was a kid! This is the one place I always root for in my town of Smithtown. Whenever a tourist or outsider comes to visit, I am always taking them to this place for the best breakfast you can ask for! Sometimes the waits are very long, especially on the weekends, but it is worth the wait 100%. I absolutely recommend anyone who is in Suffolk County or Long Island to come by to this place. Everyone is very nice, the atmosphere is full of cow-themed props and furniture and it is really fun! read more

I'll start off by saying the food was good, but not as good as everyone raves. If you go on a weekend morning after 9 am you will probably have to wait about an hour to get seated and another 15 to 20 minutes to get your food. For me personally it just wasn't worth the wait and I have no real interest in ever going back again! I'd much rather go to Lake Grove Diner to get a really good breakfast in under 20 minutes! read more

Also did not give extras like other diners do. Only saving grace was Banana Silver Dollar pancakes. Service did go above, water was always full, chef and waiter helped get us an order they don't normally do. They went above what was needed. Inside was decorated really nicely, felt very festive and upbeat. Was not expecting that. If food wasn't sub par, would definitely be worth a stop. Best Dish - Banana Silver Dollar Pancakes Would Return - Potentially

Great staff, great food. They're very accommodating to special requests. Avoid the weekends if you…read morewant a slow leisurely meal. No crowds then. Fresh food prepared with attention to details. They have a few combos which helps with the budget. Super kid friendly restaurant.

This is a cute little diner located in Babylon Village. Apparently, it has been operating in the…read moresame location for 37 years. I stopped in for a quick solo breakfast. I ordered the two-egg breakfast special, which included hash browns, toast, two eggs, and coffee for $11. Meat was available for an additional charge. The food was good, but nothing particularly extraordinary. The employees were friendly, attentive, and checked in often throughout my meal. While I was there, the staff sang "Happy Birthday" to a customer and brought out a pancake, which was a cute moment to witness. It was a pleasant experience, and I'd stop in again. Next time, I'd like to try lunch--I already have my eye on the Cuban sandwich on the menu.
