Your friendly neighborhood breakfast bar or really late night breakfast spot..The staff is amazing and always makes you feel like family and the food is always just what you expect, very good no matter how late at night/early in the morning is!!!! I love going here for breakfast and lunch just always been a staple in the town read more

Great food, great prices, great service! What More could you ask for? My favorite is the steak and eggs. I haven't found a plate at that price anywhere else. Usually steak anywhere in New York is super expensive. read more

Peter's Luncheonette was a perfect place for Sunday brunch. My daughter ordered a Chocolate Egg Cream and as she says "it's belishious." She also got waffles and sausages. My husband ordered a steak sandwich with buffalo sauce and I order my regular French toast. Great Sunday breakfast. read more

Stopped at this place after my doctors appointment and what a disappointment hollandaise sauce was not good at all and the vibe was horrible

We go every Sunday for breakfast. Lilian our waitress make you feel like your family. Food is always hot and portions are huge. Coffee is always flowing. read more

You know how you go to a place one time? That one time has left you with an impression that you'll never forget? Third is that place. Service is just great. You feel as if you're being served by a family member. Great diner!!!! Great food!!! It's like a true hug coming to this place. read more

Came here several weeks ago for lunch with a friend. This place reminded me of an old time diner that seems to specialize more to the breakfast menu than others. That being said, I ordered a simple burger and fries and it was quite tasty. I wish I could have been more in tune with the restaurant surroundings as it really seemed to be the little "local joint" that the regulars frequent. I will definitely return here again, hopefully with that same friend. read more

Always bustling with people this is a certified local place. There's a clique of seniors, salt of the earth types who inadvertently provide entertainment while you wait on your omelet to come out. The waitresses and the regulars had us in stitches. There's décor for the holidays and permanent stuff like Lion's Club awards. Your Coffee stays full, the food is fresh and tasty. You will leave full and you get a warm fuzzy feeling at Pete's- Kinda like visiting Gramma' but sans the mothball smell. This is the last of a dying breed; it's special. Now go and get the Superman platter. read more

Clean, neat and tasty. While I hate having to pay cash for my food I gladly do that there. Food is not fancy but always fresh, well cooked and reasonably priced. Peter's is certainly my favorite go-to place for a good lunch. read more

It's not a hip brunch hangout. It's not New York Citified. It's not quiet, urbane or sophisticated. But if you stuck a spot that was all of those things in earnest, working-class Patchogue, it would fail pretty quickly. Peter's is a rock-solid breakast/lunch spot with salty waitresses, predictable fare and, at times, a decent wait for a table. What that sentence doesn't say is that the atmosphere is like eating in a busy family kitchen alongside people of all stripes and colors. The food is always good (maybe never great, but always good and always hot and the order correct the first time). The coffee is excellent and the attentive waitresses make sure your cup is always filled and that you have everything you need. It's pretty impressive. I have no problem taking my New York Citified friends here; they appreciate it for its character and the bottomless coffee. Try anything on their specials board, especially anything with berries. They're open pretty early, too--my father has gone there at 5 am on a Sunday morning. Enjoy! read more

Good luncheonette style diner spot. Good food, much better than one of those big neon light diners, but I like George's just down the block better. If I was in a car and the driver said we are going to Pete's I wouldn't complain. It's a good spot. read more

Wholesome food and large portions. Can't go wrong. My only gripe is the specials rarely change and my "to go" order gets screwed up when the young man doesn't answer the phone. read more

I rarely give 5 stars but there is nothing about Peter's that I do not like. The service is great. The waitstaff is friendly and some treat you as if you are family. The portions are huge. We usually go for breakfast but have had the complete dinner a few times as well. In regards to the food not being fresh this has not been my experience. I have eaten at other places where I know the food is frozen and the prices are also extremely expensive; for breakfast especially. At least at Peter's you are paying less than $8 for everything as compared to $10 and up without a free juice. **It's insulting to have a reviewer say that people who like their food have not experienced a good meal. Especially when the reviewer only ate there once. Go to Peter's and see for yourself. It's not pretentious and gaudy and you get served by real people trying to make a living. As I write I am still trying to think of one meal I didn't like. I have only lived in Patchogue for 6 months and I am therefore certainly not a regular. George's is great too but I have seen the wait staff be treated poorly on more than one occasion which is why I prefer the friendly atmosphere of Peter's. read more

I've heard good things about this place, so we decided to try it for breakfast this Sunday. Expect a wait on Sunday mornings - but nothing insane. The help was friendly (part of their reputation) but you did get the feeling they just wanted you to move on through and clear the table. Not pushy, but they didn't hesitate to drop the check. The decor isn't "old fashioned" so much as crappy. This place is known as an old school greasy-spoon breakfast spot, and the food/coffee/help all fit the bill - the atmosphere, on the other hand, felt like a run-down Denny's, not an old diner. The food was good but standard - no surprises, typical diner breakfast menu. Coffee was fresh and readily refilled, and the food arrived quick, hot and cooked just right. Without a doubt I'll be back. read more

The best place to have a very good and tasty food breakfast ,lunch and dinner very friendly staff I love it

First time going there, the service and the wait staff was phenomenal. I rarely had to ask for anything they kept up with my fast coffee drinking and the food was amazing. Our waitress Lillian was such a sweetheart, a pure utter delight to humanity and made my boyfriend and I feel so welcomed. GREAT!!! Quaint place to eat. read more

Breakfast and lunch are always amazing! Great for eating in or takeout. Greek salad with chicken is delicious. Just remember to bring cash as they don't accept debit/credit. read more

I love this place! It's a place the locals come and are known by name. The staff are very nice. You don't see this type of eatery much anymore except on film. If you love grits the southern hospitality is for you! I always have that but must have the pancakes as well just love this place for breakfast must try lunch soon but the breakfast is hard to pass up. read more

I've been going to Peters since I was 5 and I'm 25 now. I love this place and the atmosphere is amazing. The food is always on point! Just went there this morning actually! read more

Beautiful place for breakfast! Service is phenomenal. Servers are up beat and very personable. Food is delivered quickly and plate presentation is great. The food quality is fantastic. Restaurant is cash only, however they do have an ATM if needed. Glad we found this jewel of a diner. read more

Local small town luncheonette in Patchogue. I've been going here since I was very little. Very old-school place. DO NOT expect anything fancy or modern. Inside is very run-down with tacky decor, but don't let this turn you away. The place is always full of locals, alot of seniors and families with children. The food is nothing special, comfort food and the basics. I love breakfast here it is always HOT and cooked right. One thing about Peter's is your coffee or tea cup will ALWAYS stay full and steaming hot. They wait staff is always very, very friendly and accommodating. Great spot if you are in the mood to pig out on a delicious home cooked breakfast while you read the paper or if you are in the mood for a nice greasy grilled cheese and some cole slaw. read more

Waitresses are very trashy. Other than that the food is unbelievable!!!! Is they hired new staff the place would Be even better!!!! Great place for breakfast or lunch. Milkshakes are crazy expensive read more

Decent food. Good service! This establishment has been around as long as I can remember. I came here as a child with my parents and now I'm able to come as a parent with my children. They have endured the growth of Patchogues business district and still maintained their low prices! I hope they stay around long enough to bring grandchildren one day! read more

Honestly I've only been here once. The food is pretty good. Standard good diner food. Breakfast was totally awesome! Nothing beats the service. The staff there are just plain ole good people. Make you feel like you're family. I must go there again. They also have take out. read more

Been going there for 14 years now, and still love it till this day and everyone is always friendly and make u feel so welcomed. Definitely recommend read more

I went to Peter twice only because it is close to my job. Both times I ask myself why! The first time I went the summer of 2014 to treat my brother. They messed up our order three times, we asked for cheese fries and did not get them, asked for no ice in my soda got ice, then asked for onions on my burger and got no onions! The kicker to my first visit to Peter was hair in my food. I let them know and they made me look like the criminal. I said I would never go again! Why didn't I listen to myself. Fast forward to 2015 July. I was hungry so I tried going back. The waitress, who knows where I work recognized me and embarrassed me in the store. I gave her some back took my food and left. I know Peter's is a popular place in Patchogue and I don't want to mess that up. It's not the best food by a long shot! The waitress that embarrassed me must be family. Why else would they keep someone so rude there for so long? I plan never to go again. read more

The food was decent service was good aswell, My main issue is that our table wasn't wiped down when we we're seated and there was still debris from the last customer which was absolutely disgusting, I cleaned the table myself, and to be honest i feel georges has a better atmosphere, food and service! read more

The food is always exactly what you ordered, exactly the way you ordered it!!! Not expensive at all! Service is prompt n accurate! Love this place! read more

This place was through the roof. Everybody in our party enjoyed the food. Will definately come back soon.

Great little restaurant for breakfast, lunch or brunch...it's like a diner but a small Mom & Pop establishnent. Usually very busy on Sunday's before & after religious services. It can be slow at times depending on day the week & time of day but we've NEVER had a bad meal. Started going there in 2003 when I moved to the area & I moved out of the area in 2013...but when I visit LI monthly...& I'm usually down there for 7-10 days I try to hit up this place. read more

My buddy and I went there this past weekend, just for old times sake. The meal was cheap, as usual, but the quality of food was... meh. Due to a gastrointestinal issue, I can't really drink much, so I ordered skim milk. When I got it, I took a sip -- it was BAD. The taste was so bitter and disgusting, and it lingered on my lips and on my tongue for about 10 minutes. It completely ruined my meal. Service was relatively slow, despite it being pretty quiet by the time we got our food. Receipts/bills are hand-written, and the waitress seems to just have a seizure when she writes them, since they are not legible at all. I love the place, but it really depends on who is serving you. The newer staff seems to care more overall. But the potato salad, as usual, was amazing. That's what even brought this up from a one star review to a two. Also, they have new menus now, which was long overdue. Most of the content is still the same, but they actually have a nicer feel to them, and the plastic around the edges isn't deteriorating like the old ones. read more

Based on all the positive reviews I decided to try this place out. After eating there I firmly believe that the positive reviews come from people who haven't eaten a good meal in a long long time. In my estimation nothing there was made fresh, it all came from frozen products and pre-made mixes. There were no more than 5 customers in the place yet we waited 15 minutes for the waitress to stop talking to a regular sitting at the counter to help us. I mean, I seriously don't get it. If you want good diner food as similar prices just drive an extra five minutes over to the California Diner. read more

Best pancakes on all of Long Island Great luncheonette. Maybe a bit outdated but I go here for the food always great. Note the only take CASH!! read more

Good "old school" breakfast place. Wait staff was friendly. Had a good egg white omelette with turkey and broccoli from their "health nuts" section. read more

In the pantheon of great American sandwiches, the BLT stands in good stead. A classic loved by many. B=bacon, L=Lettuce, T=Tomato. Salty, crunchy, simplicity! But at Peter's Luncheonette, the "cook" thought the B in BLT stood for Bread. Because when I ordered a BLT recently, I received what could only be called a Lettuce sandwich with 3 anemic strips of limp bacon as a garnish. And the kicker was we had to tell our server to make it to go, as we sat there for 25 minutes without food and we had to return to work. If you want Michelle Obama style Middle School Cafeteria lunches go to Peter's. If you want something good, try one of the many other joints on Patchogue's main drag. TL:DR: $7.00 for a lettuce sandwich and it wasn't even Romain. BLT my ass. read more

Having breakfast here. The food is plentiful. Im enjoying the southern hospitality skillet. It has sausage, grits, eggs, & cheese served in a cast iron skillet. It was very good. The wait staff is very pleasant here. The atmosphere is very quaint & cozy. read more

Peter's Luncheonette - Southern hospitality skillet - American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Last time I was here they didn't except cash and it made it really inconvenient. However the owner was really nice and actually let us take our food (take out) and come back and pay. Food was alright probably would have been better if we ate there. read more

Only 4 stars because Maureen's Kitchen is the pinnacle of Brunch places. Great food for the south shore since Maureen's is on the North Shore. French Toast Is Bangin. read more

This is a good family diner style restaurant... outdated and small... could be cleaner... but the food was pretty good and the service was great. worth a trip if you're in the neighborhood. won't find anything more than you expect at a small local diner... but the comfort and kindness make it worthwhile. read more

We have been back here two more times since my last review and everything is great. We had a friendly waitress both times and the food is so good. My daughter ordered an appetizer of baked clams, and they were full sized, the way I remember restaurants used to serve them. Most places give you small , inedible clams. The clams are also one of the choices if you choose a dinner special. There is no other place you can get a dinner special of Soup, clams, entrée and dessert for less than $12. We enjoy coming here more than the local diners in the area read more
