Imperial Diner in Freeport really impressed me from start to finish. The family that runs this…read moreplace is incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can immediately see why they have so many loyal regulars. They remember customers by name and genuinely make you feel like family. The menu is extensive, but what stood out most was the quality. The Friday shrimp bisque was creamy and loaded with baby shrimp. The chicken and waffle sliders were excellent, and the waffles were so soft and fresh that I honestly didn't even need the maple syrup. The Rise n' Shine Quesadilla was such a great modern breakfast option, packed with eggs, bacon, avocado, black beans, pico de gallo and plenty of cheese. The grilled steak panini was another standout -- the steak was cooked perfectly and was much better than what I'd normally expect from a diner panini. Of course, being at a diner, I had to try something Greek. The gyro wrap was excellent, with thinly sliced, tender and flavorful gyro meat. The biggest surprise for me was the Barolo Braised Short Ribs over whipped potatoes. The portion was huge, the short rib was fork-tender, and the quality honestly felt more like something you'd expect from a full-service restaurant. This was diner food elevated. They also make their desserts in-house downstairs. I tried the individual apple pie and strawberry cheesecake, and I loved that each one was its own little pie instead of just a slice. Both were adorable and delicious. Imperial Diner also has a full bar, curbside pickup and an outdoor patio when the weather is nice. You really don't have to be a "diner person" to enjoy this place. Between the food quality, huge variety and genuinely kind family behind it, Imperial Diner absolutely deserves to be in the conversation with the better diners on Long Island. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried and will definitely be back.

08/15 It's…read moreunfortunate that 600th review is a doom and gloom. While in Rockville Centre, NY tending to Verizon business, I decided to grab breakfast. I saw The Caffe On Park to find out what kind of breakfast was served and if I wanted to sit and dine at this restaurant. Just looking at the pictures and not reading the reviews or who reviewed the business. Entering the restaurant, I found The Caffee to have warm lighting causing an inviting yet romantic setting. I was properly greeted and seated. My waiter was very kind and pleasant. The busboy brought over water and the bread sticks to the table. Something I have never seen only when eating a salad. I did not touch them because I thought the person that brought it to the table probably made a mistake. On my first visit I sat in the middle of the room. Surrounded by a lot of patrons. Everything went well as I faced the window. I ordered the vegetable omelet with rye toast and a generous portion of unique home fries. I also had French vanilla coffee. The home fries were really tasty and the omelet was filling as well as tasty. I was very satisfied with the choice. I thought the clear coffee cup was a classy touch. After dining I looked around and saw that they had ice cream, but I dare not indulge, it is too early for me. My waiter was attentive and busy so I ended my experience with a 44% tip and said that I would come back when I am in the area. 08/19 I came back to the area, still struggling with Verizon, I decided to come back to The Caffe, the same experience and set up as the first but this time I was closer to the window with more lighting. On this visit I did try the breadstick and yogurt. It was pretty good. I just ate one, I wasn't there for that. LOL! I ordered another French vanilla coffee and The Prospect which consisted of 2 eggs of any style, home fries, choice of pancakes, French toast, or half waffle, served with bacon, ham, or sausage. I chose scrambled eggs, half of a waffle, and turkey bacon. This was pretty delicious, but I could do without the confectionery sugar on the waffle. Not everyone likes confectionery sugar. While drinking the coffee, I was able to spot blond hair around the coffee cup. I am thinking that if this was not a clear coffee cup, I would not have seen it and may have consumed it. At this point the experience was that the food was unhygienic due to hair contamination. When the waiter came over with the bill, long story short, I had to remind him that the coffee was contaminated, and he apologized profusely and apologized again for the oversight. I did not take it out on his tip, I still gave 44% on the original bill. Improvement- When there is a flaw such as hair where there is not supposed to be hair, don't give excuses, just apologize and move on. I won't be back! I have nothing more to say except even in this situation... Inspire more, Yelp more!

The staff seemed more interested in chatting with each other than helping customers who were waiting to order. The food was below average I've had much better diner food elsewhere.

Then we were greeted by our server Shanice and again, we were met with amazing, friendly energy. She was attentive but put no pressure on us to rush (which was appreciated because there's too many good options to choose from) and when she had a moment she made amazing conversation with us. And on top of that, the food was top notch as always. Overall, a 10/10 experience from start to finish courtesy of the amazing staff here.

She's always great, checks on us throughout the meal, and this time she even brought my mom a free dessert for her birthday, which was really nice because we didn't even ask for it. The food was good, as usual. My mom loves the amount of chicken parm she gets, so that's always a big reason why we end up here. I got the steak burrito this time, and I may have misunderstood the menu because I thought it was going to be more like a burrito bowl. They were totally fine with changing it for me though, so no complaints there. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with The Pantry. We'll definitely be back, just hopefully not too soon because we've been here mad times lately! I think we're going to let my mom pick somewhere different next time.

You are surely going to be greeted here so you won't have an issue about being noticed and you are quickly met at the door. Seating you is a priority here and they make sure that you are comfortable. The aesthetics greet you as you enter and while you are seated. Lynbrook Eats can be suitable for a business luncheon, breakfast, or dinner. It also presents it's dining experience as a romantic setting as well. Today I started with two glasses of water due the heat. I had the Cajun shrimp and grits. If you love spicy, this is your dish. That being said, that will be my last time eating it only because it doesn't set well on my stomach. I'm looking forward to digging in to hotcakes next visit. Eating solo? They offer a dedicated two‑seater that's comfortable, practical, and ideal for solo diners.

It's the "sister" restaurant to EGP Land and Sea in Island Park, NY--and honestly, both spots deserve your business. EGP Oceanside is a big step up from your typical local pub. The food quality, presentation, and menu choices really speak for themselves. On my last visit, I had the French Dip from the specials menu--somehow even better than the French Onion Dip I usually go for. Mussels (Black Pearls) are always a winner. If you want to eat a little lighter, the EGP Salad with caramelized d 'Anjou pears is fantastic. Their wings can go toe-to-toe with anyone's, the burgers are crazy good, and my all-time favorite sandwich, "The Thick Chick," better never leave the menu (same goes for the Steak Tidbits). Everything is made fresh, and the owners and servers are always friendly and welcoming. In the summer, the outdoor space adds another bar and often live entertainment, which is a great bonus.
