The hunt for homemade comfort food that I can rely on, food that I know is clean and free of unnecessary additives has made a turn. I grew up watching diners in action and was always amazed how diners could have such an extensive menu. Recently my appetite has been wavering, but know what I like. Cooking for myself can be extremely hard for me as well. So I started to look in my immediate area. Nautilus diner is the front runner for fresh made food that not many are able to do rising labor and cost of goods. I have not tried enough of the menu to give 4 stars, just yet.. I ordered: French toast, 2 eggs scrambled. What came: what I ordered!!!! Dosen't sound like a big deal, but with my experience lately, I take nothing for granted. There was a lady sitting next to me at the counter, eating a great looking piece of watermelon. She looked and spoke like either she was a long time employee or an owner perhaps. I stuck up a conversation with her about the menu and the food preparation. She proceeded to assure me that all, and I mean all, is made from scratch. Amazing I thought, and they even baked their own bread to make the French toast. My observations of the food coming out of kitchen looked vibrant and fresh. I will return soon and start eating my way back to health, with my local diner and natual foods. read more

There was a FLY in my food. Outrageous. Manager was called over about it and only said "Oh my gawd i'm sorry" then left. To be expected from diner food. read more

Hubby and I come here often that's how good the food is here and the variety is vast from seafood to turf. This visit i had a cheese burger with Swiss cheese and onions.

We gave the Nautilus diner a try yesterday afternoon with a group of 4 people and I have to say it was delicious. The menu is very large with fair pricing. Two of us had full dinners and the other two had burgers and everyone was very happy. Wine by the glass is a great pour. Service was excellent, our waitress Pamela was great. It's been 25 years since the last time we dined there, definitely will go back. read more

Solid diner with wide array of items! I ordered an omelette with mashed potatoes and whole wheat toast. Delicious!

They showed us to our seat and instead of showing us another booth or better yet wiping out our seat from the crumbs the hostess just swatted some of the crumbs and put our menu down. please see pic of what she thought was okay. Food was standard diner food, it was good and the portions big. Cleanliness not so much! read more

I come here for breakfast with my bf and his dad and it's always been great! The people there are super nice. THE CAPPUCCINO IS MY FAVORITE BY THE WAY. It is so cute! That food could be a bit better but it's great for breakfast for sure read more

Wonderful diner, service was very fast, even for dinner, our server was very kind and got us drinks and all super fast. Chicken kebab was very good and went along great with the chicken noodle soup, that was all great, but the onion bread was something else, very very tasty, the diner itself was very nice, interior was modern but still had the cozy diner vibe, overall great experience! read more

Plenty of great food! Great service! Great owners! Been going there since the 70's Nautical theme, just a great diner!!!!!!!

Typical diner offerings with large extensive menu. Would probably go with 3.5 stars. Portions were big. Doesn't look very inviting from the outside but the interior was clean and comfortable. Our server was friendly and attentive. Would not hesitate to stop in should I be in the area meeting a client but would not make a special trip there either read more

Didn't want a burger so ordered a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I would have to see this is one of the worse if not the worst cheesesteak sandwich I ever had. It is extremely dry and bland, tasteless. I am pretty much a regular here but this food today bombed out. Why do the servers like to hangout in the kitchen instead of serving customers? Can't get a refill in a soda and waiting 15 minutes before I can ask for my check read more

Giant menu with everything you can imagine, including some Greek dishes. Side dishes like coleslaw, potato salad (oddly, the potato salad has shredded carrots in it) and tzatziki left much to be desired. The pastrami Ruben was good. I love that they offer gluten free bread. Chicken souvlaki was ok. The Greek salad was simply iceberg lettuce with tomato, red bell peppers, onion, olives, and feta. Hummus was VERY chunky and thick. Not much tahini flavor either. French Dip panini was decent as well. Fries were very tasty - crispy and seasoned nicely. Service was friendly albeit a bit slow. Overall a decent spot to go if you're looking for a wide variety of dishes. read more

Diner on the east end of Massapequa on Merrick Road. It's been at least twenty years since I ate here. Menu is extensive with most standard diner far: all sorts of breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers and salads. I had the Greek omelette with toast and hash browns. The omelette was nice and fluffy and quite large. A huge amount if has browns which had mixed veggies. Good. My gf had the thanksgiving giving wrap which had Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce. She liked her meal too Service was quick and friendly. She stopped by the right amount of times. read more

Terrible experience. This is in reference to the waiter with the red Bow tie. The service started out terrible and the check was brought over without asking us if we wanted coffee or dessert. I was with three other women, a 94-year-old a 75-year-old and an 85-year-old I said to the waiter I'm not sure why you're bringing us the check we wanted to order coffee and dessert. He raised his voice and got angry and said I thought you wanted the check! And I said no we would like some coffee. He leaned in from the side of the circle table with his hands on the table to me and told me to Relax! I will get you coffee just relax and I said don't tell me to relax and he said, do you want to speak to the manager? I spoke to the manager I spoke to his uncle who supposedly owns the place and told them what happened. They told the waiter that I personally complained about him, and then the waiter came back at me and told me he did me a favor by doing separate checks. I paid and walked out, and nobody said another word to us. How terrible that this waiter for no reason would get aggressive with three old ladies and myself, and the staff did not care. I will never go there again. read more

Wow how to put stars? The experience today for me at the Nautilus Restaurant in Massapequa was a mind boggling upset. Something simple as ordering a dish not finding it to taste and asking for an exchange became an absolute disaster. Like it certainly would've been easier to just eat it or not. So, there with friends who have been coming for years , and noting that I and my husband have also, it was an overwhelming experience. So, your asking, what happened already. I ordered the Halibut as I enjoy fish, from the specials board( 29.99) with 2 veg sides. I it tasted fishy. I asked for it to be exchanged for ( after checking menu) a simple turkey omelette. ( 16.99) The older owner came out to our table with a slab of raw halibut insisting tat he had just cut it and that it was fresh. (Ok) . He firmly said that I could order something else but the Halibut would remain on the bill. The waitress Arial repeatedly this to me and took my plate of fish away to the kitchen and I was told by the waitress it had been thrown out . In Lu of argument I said ok. I ate the two vegetables of spinach and string beans from the first order and later when served, some of the omelette. True to the word I was charged 29. 99 on my bill. ( waitress was given full tip) She even kindly offered us a dessert. Thing is -it's a restaurant and at any time something might not be as tasty ( or as fresh- even though bought fresh) clearly he'd spent good money for the fish and, he made sure, that I'd paid it too. I found it to be so unprofessional and the response was sadly of more distaste then the food. Leaving me as noted to wonder if I shouldn't have sad anything. So, what would you do? read more

The food is always great, any time of the day, no matter what you order. The service is impeccable. Beautiful inside with plentiful seating and a full bar. Sometimes you just come across a place and that becomes the only place you'll want to go. Plenty of diners around Farmingdale and Massapequa, some better than others, but this, is number one. read more

Always great service. Friendly staff and owners. Food is always fresh and cooked to order.

The food was ok. The service was deplorable and keeps going down hill. My husband and I go there because it's close, and the place is nice and it's very clean. But the service is extremely slow and they aren't even crowded. We thought it was a fluke and went back and again the service was slow, actually even slower. Unfortunately it has gotten so bad that we will not be returning. read more

We are on vacation and decided to drop by this diner as it was recommended by my Mom in law. We had breakfast and the portions were huge compared to the price. The food was great and the staff was very attentive to our needs. We also had coffee which was topped off very well and fresh OJ. The place is quite large and also had outdoor seating. It is also open for brunch and dinner with a wide range of meals available. Will definitely visit again on next visit to Amityville. read more

Please go anywhere else but here. This place is DISGUSTING. The bread baskets they put out on the table come from a previous table before, the bread that was bit thrown to the garbage the others stay. All the servers who are touching money are also using their bare hands to prepare your food. All your sides, salads, French fries are all grabbed bare handed by servers! Wait staff eats off of your plates while the food sits under heating lamps! All food is already prepared and thrown in a microwave other than eggs and pancakes! The department of health has been here and violated this diner with a final warning after a party of 20 people all ended up sick with food poisoning just a few weeks ago and the owner didn't even care! She told them it's not her fault. The abuse to the workers, harassment and sexualizing that goes on here is absurd. Stay away! read more

By far the customer service I've ever encountered. Ordered multiple dinners through grubhub for delivery, Yet when they arrived one of them was completely missing and replaced with something else. When we called the restaurant, they basically told me too bad, what we gave you cost costs more so we're not doing anything about it. Then tried blaming it on the language barrier of grubhub. This is the 2nd time ordering delivery from this restaurant, the last time all of our entrees were missing vegetable and potato and we were asked "do you actually want it?" Definitely not worth the price or aggravation of consistently wrong orders and management that refuses to take accountability read more

True LI Diner and a great simple LI Breakfast of soft scrambled eggs, hunky sausage links, home fries and thick buttered toast! Yum!
