Alexis M.

Came here for a quick breakfast with my friend and I was glad we came. She just moved into the Hempstead area and wanted something close. This was such a good choice. They had a big parking lot in the rear and there was a back entrance. The service, food and prices were great. The place is a no frills old fashioned diner right on Fulton in Hempstead. Staff is bilingual and the place was very clean. I enjoyed my breakfast combo with pancakes, eggs, ham and home fries. My friend got the steak omelette and it was delicious. Come support this local cafe in Hempstead, NY!

Was getting my car serviced about half a mile up the road and found this place on Yelp and decided to take a walk and get some breakfast. Excellent decision on my part. Clean, old school lunchenette with attentive service. Had a short stack of pancakes, two sunnyside up eggs, bacon and cheese grits. Awesome breakfast. I'll definitely pop in again when getting my car serviced up the road.

Great!

This is the best diner! I came all the way from Brooklyn. Small , clean and great hospitality..

Nasty ass salmon cakes

This place, is a Hempstead staple, the breakfast is all I ever had here, they fell off a little a few years ago, but they definitely redeemed themselves, because the breakfast is on point.

Breakfast menus

Atmosphere: warm, bright, friendly. Comfy booths, plenty of seating. Wall to wall mirrors! Very clean and neat. Classic little neighborhood diner. It was busy around 10:30 Sunday morning. Seemed like lots of returning regulars, always a good sign. Staff: welcoming, cheerful, polite, prompt, attentive. Menus and coffee arrived immediately, and an order-taker came back after sufficient time to peruse the selections. A two-man crew delivered the food and we were later checked on. Food: coffee was fresh and hot, with a cool little pitcher of cream and free refill. Real butter is served. Eggs over easy were perfect, breakfast meats tasty and not over salty, home fries were insane; light brown crispy with soft peppers and onions cooked in nice fresh oil, you could tell. The sure test of excellent home fries is, I had no desire to add ketchup. I agree the grits needed salt, but the texture was really good, and my husband just stirs his egg yolk right into the grits and he's a happy camper. Pancakes were golden brown heaven, moist and fluffy, and here again you didn't need or want to drown them in syrup. Prices: very wallet-friendly. Parking: side streets or rear lot from which you can enter. Bathroom: teeny, unisex, clean, mirrored walls. The food took a bit longer than average to arrive, but definitely worth the wait and does not affect the rating. Loved it and hope to return.

Grits & Salmon with Egg Whites
Jovánna M.

The staff is all great however the food is a bit mid. Also there's people who randomly comes into the restaurant trying to sell dvds and different items. I definitely wouldn't fully recommend this restaurant

Cheese Grits, Sausage and eggs
Rina S.

I went this AM and food was great. It has a home-like/old/traditional feel. I ordered a Western omelette and breakfast potatoes. My sister had eggs over medium with sausage and cheese grits, we shared a waffle. Everything was good. Ingrid, our waitress was attentive and sweet. She realized we were newbies to the diner and welcomed us. I'll be going again.

Me and a friend came here after wanting to try a new breakfast place. We were so satisfied and we will definitely return. Being here gave us a warm, friendly, homey vibe. The waitress was very attentive and hospitable. The food was amazing and tasted like my mom's big Sunday breakfast. I had pancakes, eggs, sausage and grits. The food was steaming hot when it came out. Super plus! The coffee was delicious, fresh and hot! I can't wait to go back

Great little deli, a few seats, reasonable prices. Nothing fancy - exactly as it should be. Easy walk to the courthouse.

Tap Room - Shrooms & Bulbs Burger

Wow! Definitely happy I decided to check this place out. I had a great experience. I love that…read morethere is so much space throughout the restaurant. There are a lot of TVs, which is great to watch different sporting events at the same time. Definitely a great space to hold an informal networking event. The food was amazing. So much better than I expected! I got the shrooms and bulbs burger, which was delicious. It comes with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and raw red onion. Next time I may add fig jam to it to add a different level of flavor. I asked for medium but it came out more medium-well. I decided to try garlic butter potatoes and they were delicious as well. They were roasted but the garlic butter flavor was infused throughout the potatoes. Both the shrooms and bulbs and the garlic potato's came highly recommended by our server, Michaela. She was spot on with suggesting these! I also ordered a Wild Sour Series: Dragonfruit Mango Ale. It was perfect and just what I was looking for in a sour. A member of my party got a whiskey burger and French fries. The burger came with Jameson infused bacon, cheddar cheese, whiskey sauce, lettuce, tomato, and raw red onion. She absolutely loved her burger and she is usually very critical of food when we go out to eat. She also loved the French fries. They had a great crunch to them and they weren't too hard. Michaela was amazing! She was so pleasant and offered great suggestions to us. She really helped to make the dining experience a great one for us. Happy hour is 3-6 from Monday through Friday. There are also daily specials Monday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays there is live music and there are DJs. You can rent out the space for events. All in all, I highly recommend Tap Room and I look forward to returning soon!

Well, that day finally came, and I'm so glad it did! First off, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a special night out. Our waitress, Milessa, was amazing, super friendly, attentive, and very professional. She really added to the experience. We tried three different menu items. While two of them were a little too spicy for my personal taste, the sliders were my favorite, full of flavor and perfectly done. And I can't forget dessert, the warm pecan pie with ice cream was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, a great experience with excellent service and a gorgeous setting. I'm happy we finally stopped in and would definitely come back (maybe asking for mild next time ).

So, I saw her post on 2/5 and scooped up my plus one and rushed over. Wow! I was mesmerized by the view. The place was busy with beautiful fixtures draping the ceiling while soft jazz like tones filled the space. Sheer luxurious, elegance, extravagant, you name it. I see an upscale establishment with a cosmopolitan vibe. Stepping inside this magnificent place gave an entirely different dining experience for me. As we entered, I asked was there a reservation needed because it just looks like you need reservation. We were greeted and seated. Melissa was our waitress. Poised and attentive was she. She was fantastic, she introduced herself by name. Our food. Sriracha Chicken Spring Roll- $22- pulled chicken, Bayley Hazen blue cheese, Vermont cheddar, Buffalo sriracha, wonton rapper. Kobe Beef Sliders- $25- American Wagyu, whiskey smoked caramelized onions, fontina cheese, bacon jam. Gochujang wings- $19 Korean spices, toasted sesame seeds, scallions The wings and spring rolls were spicey to my desire, very tasty, and the wings were huge and filling. Took some home. The sliders were a bit dry and too much bun, but they have other items, I would gladly return .... Inspire more, Yelp more!

A friend had told us about Plancha and never got around it until recently. It's a small place but a solid menu and lots of wine. They were also able to accommodate us with our stroller. Food we got the pan con jamon, garlic shrimp, patatas bravas, shisito peppers and the plancha burger. The sangria was very good. Juicy, not overloaded with BS fruit and just very flavorful. The bread is like a toasted baguette cut into 4 triangles topped with piquillo salsa, arugula and jamon. Pretty good, I was surpised there wasn't pan con tomato but it was still enjoyable. This is a bit more on the acidic side so if you don't like things too tangy - might not be for you. Patatas bravas, classic with aioli and bravas sauce. Shisito peppers blistered, a bit of finishing salt and lemon. Garlic shrimp was cooked well, personally I'd like a bit more garlic in mine and some bread to mop would be nice but still tasty. Plancha burger was definitely our favorite. It's a blend of wagyu sirloin and chorizo, so it's very juicy with a nice smokiness. Very pleasantly surprised and definitely will be back to try some other things.

Not sure this place is for me I saw the reviews for this…read moreplace and wanted to check it out. So, the last time we were at the mall, we came here for lunch. The restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly. The food and menu, however, weren't really to my liking. Not knowing that this was a health-conscious restaurant, when I was asked if I wanted something to drink, I replied with "Diet Coke." That's when our server explained the health concept of the place and mentioned that they didn't carry soda. I was a bit confused because of the amount of alcohol I saw on the menu and at the bar after hearing about the health angle. He suggested a drink similar to ginger ale, but since that drink would cost more than a beer, I went with the beer instead. Now, moving on to the food: the charred cauliflower wasn't bad (could've used a bit more char), but the main dishes were disappointing. The tuna poke bowl didn't look appetizing, and the rice didn't seem fully cooked. The all-American burger also missed the mark. I asked for it medium-well, but it was closer to medium. It wasn't terrible in terms of cooking, but it lacked flavor. I'm not sure if the burger was properly seasoned, because all I tasted was cooked ground beef, a bit of Thousand Island dressing, and bread. The fries were okay--not bad for a restaurant that chooses to air-fry instead of deep-fry to be healthier. However, the ketchup, which I had to request, tasted like standard commercial ketchup. It didn't have the "smoky, tangy with the right amount of kick" flavor described on the company's Instagram.
