Back Dining Room

All aboard the Shipwreck Diner, an old train car transformed into a diner, with booths and counter seating. They also have an enclosed backyard seating area, if you don't feel like waiting. They have been around for a while a staple for good food and good service. After you dine walk historic Northport Village and enjoy the village. CIAO FOR NOW.

Chicken noodle soup

Came on a busy Saturday afternoon. Wait wasn't that long. Got a half sandwich with a small soup and a Cole slaw and Macaroni salad on the side. Quiche also. iced tea and a water. Soup was good. Macaroni salad and Cole slaw were Good also. Chicken salad half sandwich was ok. Quiche was DELICIOUS! Waitress was very nice.

Cute little diner! Been here a few times and everytime, weekday or weekend it's been full! Luckily there were seats at the bar that me and my hubby happily sat in w/o waiting! It's always better service at the bar anyway! Stools were but old and shaky but other than that, all good. Bar service was great. We came at brunch and I always get Eggs Benedict in different ways but I must say just eggs and avocado, the way it was cooked is one of my favorites I must say! We always love coming here, it's one of my favorite spots for brunch!

Great diner! Somehow I had never been here before! Staff are really friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. I was happy to be able to have grits available AND they make their own jam which is delicious . Lots of good items on the menu. There are booths in the front dining room and if you continue walking, there is an outdoor covered dining area in the back. And they don't rush you, however , when I left, there was a line and a wait to get in at lunchtime!

Eggs Benedict
Chris N.

Still the best breakfast. Home cooking! Great service and ambiance. Very big menu. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends so get here early. Cash only.

Corned beef eggs Benedict
Chris A.

Love love love everything about this diner ! First thing that catches you is the cornbread pieces and homemade berry jelly presented at your table when you are seated . Yes , homemade berry jelly ! The menu is amazing, breakfast served all day ! I am a big fan of their corned beef hash. It is the real deal, not from a can. That is very rare these days. Any breakfast platter I have ordered, I leave out so satisfied and full. Eggs are never served greasy, and the home fries that you come with breakfast are soft inside, crispy outside. If you are a foodie and a lover of breakfast sandwiches, then the Siegel Sandwich is the one for you to order. Two eggs, bacon and cheese on a large toasted croissant served with home fries. It is such a delicious and large sandwich very easy to share. All around here gives you the feel of what diners used to feel like. Like you are part of a community and welcome. The service is great and do the employees hustle. Parking is really tough over here so we prepared, especially on weekends. You can expect to wait online for a table, but they do move fast and also they have outdoor dining in the back . So glad that Northport has this staple and its community.

food!

We stopped here for brunch on our day trip to Northport! It was busy around 1 PM and we waited about 15 minutes for our table. The portion sizes here are ENORMOUS so keep that in mind! + the "wreakfast" burrito: think of a breakfast burrito but with eggs benedict sauce, sounds delicious right? was definitely yummy and very filling! + chocolate chip pancakes: standard pancakes but SUPER fluffy! the pancakes were super big as well. Overall, the food here is worth the price and very filling!

I really love this dinner! After googling numerous dinners and looking over the reviews, I really loved the history about this dinner! I love old school dinners with great history and a great track record of serving good food. I came here with my girl friend and we both loved it here. It had that old school vibe and the hostess was a sweet heart. Came here on a Saturday around 12, and there was a lil wait. The also have a back area all the way in the back which I loved. The back area isn't in the actual dinner, but a great option if you just want a grab food and don't mind not being in the actual dinner. Great food and great drinks here, my girl friend wanted the gravy and biscuits but unfortunately it was sold out so she went with boring pancakes. I got the corn beef has egg Benedict that was amazing. So flavorful and and cooked to perfection. Great food and service and I will definitely be back. This dinner is amazing and I just love the tow of north port. Theirs so many great things to do after and it's located by a marina with a beautiful park. It's great for nicer weather parks walks. Also a lot of great lil shopping areas and a great brewery a few stores down from this dinner. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! This dinner is 10 out 10 and a great diner.

Such a gem! A cute diner in Northport by the water with friendly staff and fun decor. Keep in mind, they do get packed so sometimes the wait can be quite long. Service was fast, food was good with generous portions, and the staff seemed to be wiping down the booths before seating guests. I was able to try the fish & chips and a hungry man special (pancakes, choice of two meats, potatoes, and eggs). The fried fish was fried well, juicy, and not oily. The pancakes were delicious and so was everything else. There was a mother and child duo sitting across from my table (possibly celebrating a birthday(?)). I thought it was so cute that the staff brought over a treasure chest and let the kid pick out a "treasure." The kid was so ecstatic and the mother seemed so grateful. Overall, it was a nice experience!

If you are a truffle lover, be sure to upgrade your fries to the truffle fries. The fries were truly the best truffle fries I've yet to try! The toasted marshmallow martini was the special when I was there, but it was great. Service was good, no issues with the waitress, and she was accommodating to our table

Since my review of a disappointing first experience at Birdie Bar, I have returned quite a few…read moretimes (largely because there aren't many options in area and the ease of parking), and have found some dishes to be excellent. This includes the olive oil cake, bbq pulled pork nachos, crispy Brussel sprouts, smash burger (although not consistent in size), and chicken picante. The restaurant is relatively new (just reached third year anniversary), so perhaps the kitchen needed more time to prepare dishes more consistently. For the most part the food now matches the social media hype. TIP: Others have recently noted slow service, incorrect orders. I have been visiting at the start of dinner service, and have not encountered this, so some of these issues may potentially be avoided by arriving before inexperienced service staff are overwhelmed. Most people will be seated on second floor which requires walking up a staircase. If special accommodation is needed I suggest informing restaurant in advance. There is some seating downstairs, but depending of time and day this area (bar) can get uncomfortably loud.

Price - $110 (2 appetizers, pizza, 2 drinks, tip) Food - 2/5 - tasted premade. Service - 3/5 - fine and on par. Ambiance - 4/5 - decent vibe inside. Overall - 3/5 - ok spot that doesn't have the best food in town. Did have high expectations going in here but food was a let down. Pizza was ok but appetizers tasted old and potentially premade (i.e. not made fresh). Drinks were fine. Service was good but waitress was noticeably put off when we didn't order entrees. Inside was actually really nice. Open kitchen design and renovated nicely. Pizza oven is on display too. Cool place but not worth a stop. Best Dish - Carmine Pizza Would Return - Not Likely

Service (4/5): Young staff members are hustling to give you the best service they can but it is extremely busy at times. They are always courteous! Dog friendly. Street Fries - usually their fries are great and cooked with a superior crunch and coated with a nice flavored. Other times, they can be a little soggy. Bang Bang Shrimp - skippable. I like the flavor but it is usually more batter than it is shrimp. Chicken BBQ Quesadilla - big fan. There's a good portion of chicken. I might ask for the BBQ sauce on the side next time instead of drizzled on top (which is how it comes). Oysters - Questionable tasting freshness Tuna nachos - meh Tacos from best to worst - the tacos are sizable!

It comes in a giant plastic bowl, with a great mix of spinach, arugula, and romaine lettuce. On top sit two perfectly hard boiled eggs, half a ripe avocado, halved grape tomatoes, feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, and sunflower seeds. Also... the dressing is so good... really fresh and binds the whole thing together. I'm totally coming back to get this again!! They have a bunch of refrigerated cases with fresh fruit salads, chobani yogurt cups, and drinks that would be great for a picnic in the park. In the deli case they have a whole bunch of cold salads... chicken, egg, tuna, and a yummy looking chickpea salad that I want to try next time. According to the man working behind the counter, they opened yesterday (5/26) and are still printing out labels and menus. The whole family was helping out and welcomed me with a smile. I'm glad that this place is fulfilling that deli niche in the tradition of the northport harbor delicatessen, just with an updated and fresher take on the same classics. I'm so excited to come back for more!
