I highly recommend this mom & pop, diner like experience, in the heart of little Oyster Bay Village on the Island! Our server was friendly and continually refilled our water glasses without thinking twice and even the counter person who took our payments for the bill, was warm and kind. There are plenty of breakfast options, and the coffee was fresh, but I went with the "Oyster Bay Burger. It had mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, grilled peppers ( I told them to HOLD the peppers) and fried onions. The order arrived quickly to the table. The burger looked delicious, was delicious and was lip smacking tasty!! When that 1/2 pound bad boy came out, it was HUGE and it was love after first bite ! Fresh ground beef, Cooked to perfection, and so very juicy ! My mouth waters thinking of it now. Again they have PLENTY OF BREAKFAST options and at a reasonable price. Fruits, juices, eggs, toast, muffins, omelets, griddle specialities and more until 11 A.M. The rest of the menu carries traditional diner fair. You've got appetizers, fruit and juices, salads, beverages, Greek style salads, hot and cold sandwiches! The place has that ol' traditional diner feel, with wooden chairs & dining tables. It's like stepping back into a old time diner from the 50's. It's cozy and when I was there it was packed with people, seemed like a lot of locals. There is street parking in the front, but it can be challenging and tough. I recommend, though, I didn't know this until I used the restroom towards the back of the restaurant, that there is EASY PATRON PARKING SPACES IN THE REAR OF THIS RESTAURANT! Overall, this place is a great place to get your diner food fix! And the owner was on the premises and seemed to genuinely care about how his business was running. Wheelchair accessibility: is provided by a rear entrance, with, I believe, parking behind this restaurant. Buon Appetito!!!!!!!! Salute read more

Great institution! We visited after exploring the oyster Bay railroad museum . Was freezing outside and I wasn't hungry. My husband got a huge burger with grilled onions and I had hot water and lemon. I was worried that I'd have to eat something or be charged, because it says on the menu that during lunch and dinner there is a seven dollar minimum; when I asked they seemed OK with that. I wished I was hungry because they had so many wonderful things on the menu and so many delicious looking plates of food coming by our table. Next time I'm visiting family in the area. I will definitely be back. read more

I came here because I wanted a hearty breakfast over a swanky toast/ açaí bowl and got so much more than I bargained for. I had little to no expectations but loved the beautiful tile and natural lighting in this diner. My egg white omelette was fresh and the coffee is strong and delicious! The service here was top notch and I'm a sucker for all things traditional so I really appreciated all the uniformed waitstaff in crisp white button downs. I plan to make a return every visit to oyster bay and sample the entirety of the dessert case :) thanks Taby's. read more

Not so much a fan of this spot. Meeting a friend in Oyster Bay after watching some wonderful high school students band performance from Portledge. A short stroll from the mini farmers' market only a couple of blocks away, my friend chose the place. Nothing to write home about this place. read more

Very good service, excellent, wholesome food, they are the heart an soul of oyster bay

Great portion sizes! So many good options! I had the Greek salad which was amazing! Best grape leaves I've EVER had. I will be back for those! Service was really great too! read more

Haven't been here in awhile, just because I haven't been out and if I was, I was totally forgetting how awesome this place really is! I had the special that they only have on Saturday night (chicken pot pie). They do NOT disappoint! It was delicious and the salad is great, even though it's just simply lettuce, tomato, and radish. This is really a local gem and I vow to return more often!! read more

Taby's Burger is officially a family favorite! Every single burger we tried was juicy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly--no one at the table left a bite behind. The fries are exactly how fries should be: super crispy and fresh, and the zucchini fries? Next-level good (our new obsession!). On top of that, the service is always outstanding, which makes the whole experience even better. We can't wait to come back again and again! Make sure to ask for an extra side of ranch--it's literal perfection! Thank me later! read more

As an Oyster Bay native who knows the relevance and importance of Taby's in the community, I can confidently say that I'll never get a burger there, let alone a meal, again. An order of fried clams came out within 90 seconds of placing the order. Mozzarella sticks that took the same amount of time with cement blobs of cheese in the middle. The speedy food wasn't a good thing. Then, the Smother burger. It lived up to its name, but literally and figuratively put a bad taste in my mouth. With absolutely no flavor, too. I had to eat it with a fork and knife due to the bottom bun being so soggy that it crumbled. The unsalted fries were what they were, so whatever. It was also dead silent in there at 6:15pm on a Friday night. I KNOW that Taby's isn't a "hip" spot. It's not fine dining, not gourmet, and you know what you're paying for. But for me to have vomited half of burger later that evening, my dinner-mate and I both to wake up the next morning with a completely dry mouths due to our meals, getting no sleep (this was our last meal for the day) and questioning our food choices, we won't be back. Nostalgia for a staple in our hometown aside, the quality of food here is severely lacking and has dwindled steadily over the years. The staff is very attentive and friendly, I'll give it that. Farewell, Taby's. read more

The food at Taby was mediocre, at best. But what killed it for my party of 4 was an employee started mopping the floors which overwhelmed us with the smell of bleach or some other chemical with strong fumes, shortly after they served the meals. And it was only 8pm on a weekend night. Not only could we not continue to eat, we could not continue to breathe the fumes. We had to leave. Won't be going back. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. It's a terrific neighborhood place! Always see someone I know. Service is very accommodating. Prices are reasonable. read more

For a place that claims they have the "Best Burgers on LI", imagine my disappointment when the burgers weren't even decent, the Patties were crumbly and fell apart too easy. And too damn greasy, for the price we paid to it was pretty ridiculous, I work in Oyster Bay but I'm gonna be avoiding this place from now on, there are better spots on that street. read more

Good food and service no matter who you are, not too expensive and a good vibe. I recommend it!

Service was great! Food was very good. Very kind staff. Had light dinner then walked around!

After we paid the bill, we were asked to leave so they could seat a party of five that was waiting, even though my elderly grandmother was still finishing her coffee. There were several open tables available, so the request felt unnecessary and rude. I won't be returning. The place is also outdated, and the menu is quite limited. read more

Always delish. I love their soup. Beef barley is my favorite with a BLT. I also recently had the chicken pot pie special. Omg. Amazing. Big enough for two people. read more

We love it here! Chicken burger is my favorite - and if we can make it for breakfasts Ila a great meal

What a great place ! Introduced my friend to the great Tabby Burger ' was blown away. Haven't ever had anything here other than a burger. The blend in the burger is outstanding. I'm not sure what they use in the blend but whatever it is amazing. The desserts as well are top notch I have had the lemon meringue pie as well as the tiramisu cheesecake. Coke hungry. Burgers are huge. Fries that come with the burger are the best shoestring fries ,we ordered them well done. Also do not forget to order onion rings. read more

Love to order calves liver but everyone knows only a small group of diners or restaurants have that on their menu. The best place I've ever ordered was way out in Suffolk County until my daughter found Taby's Burger House. Not many liver lovers but if you're one of them stop by Taby's, you'll be glad you did and thank me later. read more

I went there for lunch and ordered a Texas burger. Was it good? Yes. The only thing I would have preferred was a stronger bun because the burger to bun ratio was not proportioned. As soon as I picked up the burger it just broke off the bun. read more

A local favorite serving very good food. More like a diner with a large menu. I had to try their burger. I ordered the Taby's Famous 1/2 lb Burger Oysterbay with mozzarella, mushrooms, grilled peppers and fried onions, Also available as a deluxe burger served with French fries and a deluxe salad, which is mixed greens, tomato, feta cheese and vinaigrette dressing. Very good except their need to toast the buns because the juices from the burger soak the bun causing it to fall apart. My ordered the Vegetarian Omelet ,with fresh mushrooms, onions, peppers and tomatoes, served with potatoes and toast with butter and jelly. Huge and also very good. read more

Excellent Burger Spot! Good omelets, sandwiches and always a great dinner special! Nice local place to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner!

We hadn't been here in 12 years and the waiter remembered me and said, "No cheese in the salad, right?" Pretty impressive. The service overall is amazing here. On the other hand, while the burger was good, I had hyped it up too much in my head. Same with Greek salad. Reason it 4 was instead of 5. I'm not as big of burger person as in the past. Maybe it's that. Maybe it's the weather. My son thought it was the best burger he ever had. Definitely recommended but I can't back it as much as in the past. read more

My family patronized this restaurant for literal decades and loved it, never had an issue, but we wouldn't step foot in it again after being spoken to incredibly rudely by one of the owners and being humiliated in front of other patrons. No excuse, especially considering the person the owner's rudeness was directed at was a senior citizen. Reading some other poor reviews here and elsewhere, it seems like this is a pattern - if the owner decides she suddenly doesn't like you, expect to be accused of any number of things. But she'll happily take your money. It's too bad, because the rest of the staff have always been lovely. I'm all for supporting family-run businesses and supporting local, but there are many other excellent restaurants in town deserving of patronage rather than this once-great spot. read more

Taby's has been around forever! I've been going to Taby's since the early 90's. Everything there is spot on. The breakfasts are amazing. I love the corn beef hash - it's fresh and tasty and nice chunks of corn beef give it a lot of flavor. All the eggs, pancakes and waffles are good too. This time we overslept and ended up having lunch. My burger deluxe came with a small (actually quite large portion) of Greek salad. The lettuce, tomato and feta with some vinaigrette are simple and yet amazing. I could have that every day. It's super fresh. The burger was cooked perfectly and very juicy. The skinny fries were crispy and piled in a huge mound enough for 3 people. So good! He ordered the sauerbraten - it was a strange choice for a diner - it was amazing. The meat was juicy and tender and fall apart delicious. The red cabbage was vinegary and tangy just like it should. Taby's is fairly small for a diner so there might be a wait. But the wait is totally worth it. Never had a bad meal there. read more

It seems the business owner responded to my honest review by saying that I was "spreading hate" and "we should all be supporting one another". Excuse me, the only "hate" was when her father suggested rudely that I should "never come back" to their establishment. I told the truth and as a former teacher she should know that bad manners on her father's part are unacceptable. As for "spreading hate" she should look over the poor reviews they have gotten over the years and realize that none are related to the food, rather the rude and unprofessional attitude of her father. Clearly, this was not an isolated incident and I am not alone in my feelings. Awful....Never coming back! This place has been here for a very long time and I don't understand how people put up with how rude the owner of this establishment is. Others have told me that he is not very nice and is an arrogant man. I found it out for myself tonight. When I got my check, there was a $3 charge for a refill on my fountain diet soda. This is a glass that was filled to the top with ice and very little soda. That's not the worst part. When I asked the owner upon paying my bill about the charge he said "we only give free refills on coffee and tea". I said, that's ridiculous and that will prevent me from coming back. His reply was "it's a free country do what you want!". Wow! It is in fact a free country and luckily now we have a voice to share these type of experiences with others. I emplore my fellow Yelpers not to ever visit Taby's in Oyster Bay! If this is the way the owner runs his business and treats his customers l, one can only imagine how he treats his staff and it leads me to believe that he may be approaching the food quality and vendors in this unprofessional fashion as well. Stay away!! read more

Would like to have tried more on the menu as it's huge, but they say they are know for burgers so I tried that. Good sized portion. The patty really lacked flavor, though. Was pretty disappointed. It's a good looking, local place. I'd give it another shot and try another dish. read more

Yikes. This goes on the never again list. Sodas were the first sign. It looked like Coke and sprite mixed together. I should've known. Raw burger came (he ordered medium). They fixed it but... no. Despite the credit card sticker n the door, I was given odd looks when I tried to pay with my card. I was asked to tip with cash. I get. No biggie. Just a super awkward conversation. I'm still confused, actually. read more

Great, local diner, convenient hours and top notch service. Great looking breakfast, Greek, and standard diner options... Something for just about everyone. Pay attention to how they cook the burgers (steamed under a glass?!?) and order a bit more well-done than you might normally, unless you want a semi-bloody mess (sorry...). Only downside to a great, reasonably priced meal. Next visit, I'll probably stick with one their tempting breakfast choices or Greek specialties. We had no trouble getting a seat for a late (2pm) lunch, but I imagine this place gets crowded FAST during prime breakfast and lunch hours. Can't beat a NY diner!! Opa!! read more

Pretty much a diner, lots of locals. We've come to Taby's a few times after going to Bayville Adventure Park - Taby's may as well be Per Se as compared to the restaurants at Bayville Adventure Park. Burgers are larger than in many diners, you may want to consider the junior size. Even though Oyster Bay is a cute town, there aren't many places to eat, so Taby's is a good option. I just wish I could get a beer with my burger ... read more

Really great food for a very reasonable price. My go-to is an omelette (usually mozzarella, tomato, and spinach). It comes with toast and home fries. If you're really hungry, I highly suggest any of the burgers. Get it deluxe and it's enough to feed a small village. It comes with a huge plate of fries on the side as well. The place is pretty clean and the staff are always friendly. Only downside is the tables are pretty small so I don't recommend for a party of more than 4/5 people read more

Taby's is an Oyster Bay icon. Not a fancy restaurant, but just great, classic food. Very comparable to a diner, but with better food. The burgers are well known because they are huge! Always make your meal deluxe if possible and get the fries and small Greek salad. Turkey club is very good and on weekends splurge a little and get the largest piece of prime rib around! Don't forget dessert! This place is a must try and the service and staff is unmatched read more

The food here is very good, I ordered the Texas burger and the deluxe salad, My son took us here after leaving a recital, everyone raved about the food. Now the bad news, the floors were so sticky your shoes would cling to the floor. I had a short sleeve shirt on and my arms were sticking to the table. What a turn off. I just wish the food was bad so it wouldn't be so disappointing read more

Ehhh burgers and fries are nothing special. Just your basic burger and fries.... The salad that comes if you get the bigger size is bleh.
