Amazing Cheeseburger!!!
George M.

First some background, on the legacy of Astoria's Neptune Diner one of the greatest diners in the in the history of diners: Neptune Diner wowed dinners for several decades before some of the owners great tired of running a 24 hour business while the other still had more life in them. Sealing its fate was the fact that it was operating atop of ever growing more valuable real estate. This came to a head a couple of years ago and the decision to sell was sealed. Fast forward, the owners that still wanted to continue the legacy took over Jackson Hole Diner in Bell Blvd. And I've been meaning to try it ever since. Today was that day. My guests ordered the usual diner breakfast fare. There orders were very good. I knew that the proof of whether the spirit of the original survived would be in the burger and aroma in steak, respectively. The section on what to order came down to economics: burger 12 bucks and Romanian steak $44 (yes $44 ($10 short of a NY strip steak) I'll be back for the Romanian). What was the verdict you ask? I enjoyed one of the best burgers I've ever had. The wait staff was also spectacular. King Neptune Diner Astoria is dead, long live King Neptune Diner Bayside.

My late partner, and I ate here a few times, and it has always been good, but I've never written a review. I stopped in for dinner tonight, and it was as good as it has always been. This is nothing more than a good old-fashioned Greek diner. Great people, big menu, and great food. I decided to order from the specials menu tonight. I started with a cup of the the avgolemono, the Greek lemon chicken soup. It was so good! The chicken was tender and delicious,, it had orzo in it, and the orzo was also tender, and the lemon provided a nice " Tang" to the soup. A total home run. For my main course, I had the lemon chicken. Again, a total home run. The chicken was so tender, it was literally fall off the bone. You could taste the lemon, it was spiced well, just a fantastic Dish. The potatoes that it came with were fork tender. Again, totally delicious. I had enough left over to take back to my hotel with me. Prices are a tiny bit on the higher end, but considering the high-quality and quantity of the food? Worth every penny. I will be back. Thank you.

Dined food is comfort food! I wasn't sure what I was craving so I decided to go for a variety of foods and each one of them was delicious. There was a lot of seating and luckily my friend and I got a booth which is what we were looking for. We ordered the Fried calamari which was hugeeeee. We had to stop ourselves from eating too much before the entrees arrived so that we would be able to enjoy our other dishes as well. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the marinara sauce paired great with it. We got spaghetti with Parmesan cheese on top. It is your basic spaghetti which was what I was craving so that was great. Then we also got the banana and Nutella pancakes which were also huge and delicious. The whipped salted butter was the star of the show because everything was on the sweeter side so the butter really added a nice hint of saltiness. The servers were super sweet. They checked up on us multiple times and even offered to give more cheese for the spaghetti. When packing the food the go because we had a lot of leftovers, we asked for a container for the marinara sauce too which they sweetly topped off for us. Not only did the food taste of comfort but the staff made us feel super comfortable as well!

Greeted immediately after a long walk in extreme heat, then seated in a comfortable booth. The air conditioning was perfect. The coffee was delicious. The food was fresh and plentiful. The service was excellent. No one rushed us. Everyone smiled. The diner seems kind of old, but also seems to be regularly scrubbed and polished. A very comfortable place. We had a very nice time.

Dinner here on Friday evening was delicious, but gets super crowded during the evening. Food was delicious and plentiful. The hot chocolate was delicious. The waiter was very friendly, attentive and prompt. Great dinner in Bayside to experience.

Bacon cheeseburger

I'll start off by saying that valet parking for a diner is a bit ridiculous but on to the food. The burger was a bit massive and well cooked it could have been seasoned a bit more for $16.50. The diner itself had a great atmosphere.

First time at the Neptune Diner.it was an overall great experience. Firstly, our waitress Ashley was friendly, engaging, and most importantly made us feel at home. I decided to go with the Crown Heights burger deluxe. It was cooked to perfection.as well as all of our food. The decor was typical diner decor but there was a great Victoria the place. Definitely, I will be back.

As always, I'm bias to the OG Neptune in Astoria, but my grandma lives close by & this is our favorite breakfast spot! They have a parking lot that's pretty convenient, but street parking isn't too hard to find if it's full! There's plenty of space inside & the menu is extensive & basically has anything you want! The food is always tasty, service is friendly & quick! Prices are reasonable! Someone once told me that if the coffee is good at a diner, chances are the food is good too! (Point being said - you can't go wrong with Neptune)

I have passed by this place several times but never went in. The diner has a good amount of tables and we got sat quickly once we arrived. The service is great and we got our food fairly quickly. The coffee was strong and tasty. I was not too impressed with the food. I ordered their western omelette with their home fries and white toast. The home fries lacked flavor and the omelette was also bland. I had to add salt and ketchup to the omelette and potatoes to give it extra flavor. There are better diners in the area.

There's a lovely rustic, yet high end vibe. It's also immaculate. Our server was fantastic...just the right balance of friendly, attentive and helpful. It was hard to choose appetizers because I actually wanted one of each. There aren't a lot of Mediterranean choices near where I live currently so my eyes were definitely WAY bigger than my stomach. That said, we shared the halloumi and three different dips served with warm pita. Then we added a last minute choice of grilled sweet sausage for my stepdad. Before we even received our appetizers, they brought a lovely pile of warm pita with delicious sides to accompany: olives, white bean spread, and red pepper hummus (I believe... whatever it was, it was delicious!). The appetizers were outstanding and it was really hard to pick a favorite. Each one of the dips was delightful: taramasalata, hummus, and eggplant. I tasted a bite of the sausage and I understood why my stepdad enjoyed it so much (perfectly cooked and just the right amount of seasoning). The appetizers were new to my mom and she truly enjoyed everything. Her main course was crabcakes and she raved about those as well. I chose the Souvlaki with a side of grilled vegetables and it was exactly what I wanted with perfectly spiced and not overcooked cubes of chicken. The other grilled chicken dish got a huge thumbs up...and that's from a super picky eater. We topped everything off by sharing a large piece of cake that was very decadent....and even though I love chocolate,.... no way I could've finished it by myself. It had an Oreo crust and the rest was a rich chocolate mousse. Next time? Baklava. Looking forward to going back to visit the fam and enjoying Maria's again. Maybe they can open up a location near Saratoga? Just saying...

Outstanding food and fabulous service. Came for dinner with…read morefriends on a weeknight and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the scallops, Bronzino, chicken shish kebab, and lamb shish kebab--each served with lemon potatoes and a fresh Greek salad. The portions were huge and perfect for sharing. We even brought home enough for another delicious meal. For dessert, we shared their signature baklava with blueberries and a scoop of homemade ice cream. Always exceptional. The servers were attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. A lovely evening all around with consistently fabulous food.

It's like the difference of enjoying a food item cooked by a person and place that knows how to pronounce it. The lamb is carved off the spit, properly, the pillowy pita is stuffed with that succulent meat and just a few slices of tomato and onion. And a healthy coating of fresh tzatziki. While my side of fries was cooked well, for some reason I didn't find them to be tasty. I added salt and pepper, but it didn't matter. Even starting on an empty stomach, I couldn't come close to finishing that sandwich. The place does smell of cigarette smoke. Not sure the management got the memo about that.

The typical fast food Greek fare gets raised a few notches here at Gyro World…read more Now, I'm picky with my gyro and my souvlaki because of my heritage and so I can honestly say they hit it out of the park at Gyro World. We started with the traditional Greek salad and combination platter because it wouldn't be summer without these staples. The tomatoes were garden fresh and cold and but the feta stole the show. It was so good I'm sure it came from their pet goat in the yard! The gyro and souvlaki combo platters were perfectly cooked and surprisingly not greasy. The pita was cooked to perfection and sturdy enough to hold up under the weight of our meat livers paradise. By far my favorite gyro place!

The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way. It completely threw me off. That experience alone was enough to turn me away. I think I'll stick with the pricier Greek spots that I know are more consistent.
