Old Fashioned Buttermilk Breakfast Pancakes Eggs over medium Thomas' English Breakfast Muffin
Vincent W.

Retro diner with typical long issuance customer service. Food was ok, not the best with cups and dish hygiene. I might eat here again only if I'm feeling retro diner experience within the area.

Classic Eggs Benedict Breakfast
Alexandra B.

Great breakfast, friendly and fast service and charming old style diner. It's small so there's not a lot of space for larger groups.

Brunch menu

The Mineola Diner is cozy and old-fashioned, staffed with friendly servers who are attentive and quick with the service. It's a great place to enjoy classic diner food in a nostalgic setting. They offer a weekend brunch menu that changes every once in a while. Definitely try their pancakes-they're heavenly good.

Yummy

This is an update of an older review. This diner is in the official registry of "original diners" and pictured in most of the books on these places. The place is amazing and the owners Mike & Shane are wonderful owners and hosts. We there for breakfast and it was truly a memorable experience. I was there with my wife and two friends. You're greeted with a smile and welcome. It is small and seating is limited but there was plenty of space for us in the side room. The food here is just amazing this morning we had the Trough which are eggs with a little of everything else mixed in. There were a couple of omelettes that are always incredibly tasty and I had the banana-buttermilk pancakes (with scrambled eggs). These were amazing-tasty-fluffy. Essentially, delicious!!! I am a member of multiple organizations and we all use this diner for meetings. It is the perfect venue with the perfect menu and great service!

Very good small yet friendly classic diner. My son and I stopped by a Sunday morning around 9am for breakfast and both pleasantly surprised of their overall taste and portion size. Parking lot is small but plenty street parking nearby.

Breakfast

Bad awful, the bacon look like it was a week ago. It's so cold hashbrowns looked and taste awful.

Philly cheesesteak - 4/5
Kiki C.

Philly cheesesteak - 4/5, just a standard Philly cheesesteak. New Yorker burger - 3/5, not much flavor, bun tastes like a cheap low quality grocery store bun, patty has no flavor and a little overcooked. Before I opened the box, I was so confused why the bun wasn't round; then it looks like the edge of my bun was slightly burnt, so it was "tucked in", ha?! FYI - pay cash to avoid credit card charge (unless your credit card cash back % is higher than the credit card charge % )

Thomas's is everything that you wish for in a true diner experience. From the minute you walk in,…read moreyou're greeted by their friendly staff members. The interior gives that nostalgic retro diner feel. On a Saturday afternoon, our wait was about 25-30 mins, but it flew by quickly. Thomas's is beyond generous with their portions from the egg skillets to the pancakes. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions. And most importantly, everything here is absolutely delicious. My fiance & I ordered two orders of the blueberry pancakes, which was a mistake because of how MASSIVE each order was; we could've easily split one. We also ordered the sides of corned beef hash and ham steak. Highly highly recommend both. The corned beef hash is SO delicious & homemade, and the ham steak is huge! The staff here are really lovely and attentive. Our coffee cups never went empty. Parking is available on site, but incredibly difficult to get a spot. I wouldn't bet on parking here - be prepared to park elsewhere and walk over. Definitely our new go to diner spot!

I had the croissant French toast, which was incredible. Flaky outside and was and gooey inside. The Irish breakfast came with blood sausage, toast, eggs, beans and ham and tomatoes, it was very filling and flavor packed! Prices were very reasonable, and for that, when I'm in the area again I would definitely stop back in for a hearty meal.

I was reading some reviews that the burgers are great here but I ordered a pork medallion dish that was a special that evening instead. All I wanted were sautéed onions in my dish, not the other vegetables which was probably why my plate was loaded with onions! So much in fact you couldn't see the meat, LOL! But, it was very tasty and served over some rice. Not enough room for more with all the onions. I would get it again though, just half the onions next time. The matzah ball soup was delicious! A big bowl with a lot of flavor served with lots of chicken, veggies and a big matzah ball! I also have to mention the bread basket with garlic bread that is brought to your table to start and it was really tasty! Portions are very big, there was plenty left over for dinner the next night! My future SIL ordered the Chicken Parmesean and it was really good (I tasted some) that he finished it all! My daughter ordered the half spring chicken served over an apple stuffing. That was really delicious (I tasted some ) so if I don't order a burger next time, I will be getting the chicken. Dessert was OK, I got the cheesecake and it was fresh and creamy! Overall, food was good as was the service! I will go back again if I'm in the area!

This place definitely gives a hole in the wall vibe and that's what I wanted. There are plenty of "brunch vibes" in Long Island and that's not what I was looking for today. Service was super prompt and the food came quick, less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Mexican omelette which was eggs, shredded chicken and oaxacan cheese. I expected the chicken and cheese to be cooked into the omelette - it was actually an egg omelette with the chicken and cheese folded inside. No complaints though; when I had enough eggs, I was able to eat just the chicken. It was well seasoned and not doused in cheese, which I appreciated. Note to self: no sour cream next time. It was unnecessary. The omelette came with a side of home fries. The home fries were the perfect mix of soft and crispy, with onions and peppers. They tasted great. It also came with toast and I added avocado, and made avocado toast... YUM. I had an iced coffee on the side. Nothing special about the coffee- not good or bad. They had almond milk and sugar-free vanilla... yay! Lastly, I took a sausage omelette with sweet potato chips to go for my son and he loved it. I would definitely come back. Thanks for a good experience!

Ambiance has changed a lot since I was little, now going for more of a horse racing theme since they sponsor a race horse in Saratoga. Very cool but I do miss the vintage vibes! Maybe a few pictures of the original diner would be cool? The food is great. This was my first time trying the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger and it was so tasty, especially paired with the homemade fries. Milano ice cream is top-tier! It's like cookies & crème but replaces Oreo with Milano cookies. Service was a bit slow, which was odd considering we were one of two tables at the time. Also, we ordered a burger with grilled onions and ended up with a cheeseburger (no onions) instead. Otherwise, all was well and staff was very nice. (Alfredo at the grill is iconic and always the best, always remembers us!) This is a must-try spot- don't miss them at Citi Field either!

After removing the tomatoes, where's the lettuce? Half an egg, maybe 2 pieces of bacon chopped up and half of a tomato hugely sliced. Not a dense salad at all. Dressing was tucked into salad too. Not worth it in my opinion. Another person ordered a burger and fries and stated the burger was flavorless and so were fries. Not the Hildebrandts we knew.

Arriving at this restaurant my plus 1 seemed to be a real treat. The parking lot was packed to full, so we parked on the side street. Walking inside I felt comfortable and cozy with a splash of excitement due to the retro setting. I can appreciate the beautiful aesthetics and the comfortable environment. The service was quick, and the staff was attentive. Our waitress was gregarious and very kind. I tried the farmers omelette, turkey sausage, home fries, and whole wheat toast. The omelette was impeccable fresh, a true delight to my palate. The turkey sausage was an added treat, plump and juicy. The home fries were delectable given its balance of being crispy and soft at the same time. The toast is a standard taste everywhere unless you get stale bread. My plus one had the BLT which she really enjoyed but her home fries weren't to her liking due to the temperature of the food. I am giving a well-deserved four stars as this was a good find.

I ordered the BLT with home fries, the bacon was crispy, the lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the toast was perfectly golden. The home fries were nicely seasoned and cooked just right, with a good mix of crispy edges and soft centers, however it was like warm, preferences would have been hot. The service was friendly and very efficient our food came out fast, and the staff checked on us to make sure everything was good. The diner itself has that classic, cozy feeling, with clean booths and a relaxed atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you feel welcome the moment you walk in. A great local spot for a satisfying meal and some friendly service. Would love to come back!
