Ate lunch here with my husband and daughter. Bottom line is that I'm putting this place on my Long Island radar from now on. SUCH GOOD FOOD... at least because we ate at the restaurant. It's a small place, so it might be an issue with my young grandchildren, and I'm not sure how the restaurant is for takeout, but I digress. I got their regular grilled cheese sandwich. My daughter ordered their lobster grilled cheese sandwich, and my husband ordered a salmon BLT. The portions were huge enough that we each had doggy bags, and the sandwiches were so very tasty. We each loved what we ordered. I'm quite certain we will find out way back to Whiskey Down Diner at some point, be it for takeout or dine-in. We'll make it work !! read more

Headed back to Whiskey Down to try their lobster roll because it was back on the menu, and every time I saw it on Instagram my stomach growled. Seating is always a bit of a crap shoot, and it's tight inside. But service is fun and attentive, and it's got a great diner motif. The lobster roll was as advertised - A+. Great count of meat for the price. Topped with all delicious claw meat, tail under it. Butter on the side. Highly suggest! My friend got a special smash burger on an everything croissant and it was huge and awesome. read more

Whiskey Down Diner is so much more than a diner. Yes, it looks like a traditional diner. But there is so much more to their dishes than what you typically find. Located in the main street area of Farmingdale, Whiskey Down is a great place to stop for a burger, breakfast for dinner, or an overembelished milkshake. They feature milkshake specials each month, and they are SO worth it. Make sure you save room for one! The prices are consistent with diner prices, and the portions are large for the price point. Caveats: Read the signage wherever you park. The Main Street area of Farmingdale has a lot of parking, but each lot/meter may have its own rules. Also, the diner is not a large venue, and the waiting area is small. Be prepared to stand, or even wait outside. Whatever you choose to eat, I promise it will be worth it! read more

Whiskey Down Diner - Turkey pretzel melt - Bars Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

I wanted to have a better experience than I did. My party of three each ordered a variation of a hamburger, and all of them were surprisingly underwhelming - especially given the restaurant's reputation. Additionally, the bathroom was very poorly maintained, we had to ask twice before the paper towels were replaced. More concerning, though, was the seating. Our table, along with two other parties, was placed in the back by the kitchen. All three groups were Black Americans. While I can't know the intent behind the seating assignments, the pattern was difficult to ignore and left an uncomfortable impression. If you don't know why this is problematic, I'd recommend reading more history books. A great dining experience is about more than the food - it's also about making guests feel equally welcome and valued. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both fronts. If equitable hospitality matters to you, or if you're simply looking for an exceptional burger, I'd encourage you to explore other options. read more

This place has been hyped FOREVER to me, and I finally got to try it. I'm not sure what I was expecting exactly, I think maybe a bit nicer of an interior? But it really is just a regular diner. Much smaller than a typical Greek-run diner, and I'll say not as nice, either. It seemed a little dirty when I sat down, food on the floor, dirty water cups, water-splotched silverware. I was very surprised that everyone in my family talks about this place like it's the best ever. Menu is huge, and pretty cool that they have special seasonal menus, a lot of what sounded interesting to try. I was debating between a few things, but ultimately went with the chicken souvlaki. I was hoping for a great sandwich, especially with the Greek Key paper placemats, but what arrived was in no way a traditional souvlaki. The chicken was wrong, huge chunks, no grilled char, some pieces gristley. Also a bit confused at the dressing on it when it should have been tzatziki. I think it was some sort of vinaigrette. The pita was thick and dry, definitely generic bagged pita. Feta was sparce as well. Fries were fine. Tried a bite of their tuna sandwich which was good. I'd probably try breakfast food if I ever came back here. read more

I had a gift card that I wanted to use at this place. For some reason I thought they wouldn't look like a usual diner based on the videos I saw on social media. But it looks like a regular diner when you look in, except for the fact that they have an outdoor area. The food is unlike "typical" diner food though. I would say it's slightly elevated that regular diner food, and their price reflects that. I decided to get the lobster tacos. They were huge and packed with so much lobster cabbage, and other toppings. I actually ate only one, and saved the other one for the next day cause the portions were huge. Our server was pretty friendly, pretty nice to visit once in a while. read more

This diner is such a cozy spot with an amazing menu you honestly can't go wrong with whatever you order! They offer a seasonal menu that keeps things fresh and exciting every time you visit. The portions are large and satisfying. We tried the steak panini sandwich and it was absolutely incredible tender, flavorful steak packed inside perfectly toasted bread. Definitely one of our favorite dishes! On top of all that, the prices are very affordable, making it a great place to enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

The food blows me away every-time. Everything you've heard about this place is true it's fantastic. There is a downside that I didn't want to put on here but i've experienced multiple times now. The wait staff just doesn't do a great job coming over getting your order, or even drinks. I went the other day and they ignored my table for at least 15 minutes. I know they are busy but I have experienced this a few times now. Honestly the food is so good it still makes this place worth going. read more

Great breakfast spot! Stopped in on my weekend trip and was pleased. Ordered French toast bites for the table and they were a huge hit. Still thinking about them! Pancakes were good I had a breakfast wrap - large portion and full of flavor. My husband had a breakfast salad and that was fantastic and very filling. All of our friends really enjoyed their meals too. Everyone kept saying how large the portions were. Place had a line but we opted to sit outside to avoid the wait. It was a beautiful day out. Service was good and the staff was kind. read more

I was a bit nervous, seeing a place with a huge menu always makes me skeptical but Whiskey Down delivered!! The star of the show was the apple crumb pancakes- so insanely delicious and not too heavy (though super sweet). The sweet potato tots on the side were crispy and delicious and an ENORMOUS portion. Others really liked the breakfast burrito, burgers, and breakfast poutine! My hot honey sliders were the only let down because the biscuit was super pale and tasted very under done, almost raw. The portions were huge for the price and everyone had leftovers. It is busy and we did wait an hour for a large party on Sunday morning but once seated the food came out almost immediately and they move tables quickly. read more

Whiskey Down Diner left a lasting impression on me and my family. While in the area, I searched Yelp for a good diner and came across this gem, which had about 4.5 stars. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything was excellent. The vibe is welcoming, the décor is stylish, and there's outdoor seating. We ordered a variety of dishes--salads, steak and eggs, burgers, and French toast--and everything was absolutely delicious. Everyone in my group was happy with their meal. The only downside? I made sure to personally thank the manager. I know managers usually hear complaints, so I wanted to share just how satisfied I was. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

My first time here, it's a small diner with a bar and great food. The service was pretty fast but the young lady was seating 2 ppl who came in long after us first, not a good look. She sat 2 other couples also. We were going to leave but I'm glad we didn't the food was great. Our waitress gave me two recommendations and she was on point. I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu read more

4.5 stars Bustling restaurant disguised as a diner. By no means do they serve diner quality food. Coffee is strong and Smokey , water is filtered and crisp, and everything is of high quality. Pancakes are legit. Buttery , fluffy with crisp exterior. Very good. Eggs are fresh, scrambled perfectly with fresh avocado, no brown spots, and great hash browns. Server at the counter was very courtesies and professional. Parking around back , usually a wait of at least 20-30 min especially on weekends. read more

We went to Whiskey Down on a Sunday around 1pm. There were a number of people waiting to be seated. The hostess greeted us immediately and told us it would be about 15 minutes for a party of 2 inside. We had a seat in front of the hostess stand and waited to be called. As parties pf all sizes filtered in and out, the hostess proceeded to seat another couple of 2 who had walked in 2 minutes earlier and completely forgot about us. She apologized taking full responsibility for the mix up, which we appreciated. But then we had to wait another 7ish minutes before another table was available. After being seated it took about 4-5 minutes for a server to come to our table. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The table was clean, bathrooms were clean and they even had seating outdoors with umbrellas which was nice. The food was good, but like everything else took a very long time to come out. The best thing we had was the chicken Cesar Sando. They were also sold out of some of the items on the menu. Overall it was a fine experience. The food was fine, the place was cute, but the wait times for seating and food and service was nothing I have seen before at other similar establishments. Give it a try if you're in the area, my experience wasn't the best but many people have wonderful things to say about this restaurant. read more

This is a staple lunch place for our family especially in the summer when we can sit outside with our dog. We have come to expect fast, efficient service with the food coming out relatively quick. The food is the typical brunch fare but with a variety of options including the taco sets. Good vegetarian options are available if you are looking & the is plenty of parking around the back of the restaurant if you have problems with street parking. read more

This is my third time going and food-wise still staying consistent which is great. We went on a Saturday night it was rather busy however they seemed really short staffed in general. Our waitress was pleasant but she didn't check in and took a really long time for her to even come. The reason why I'm losing a star unfortunately is because I got a milkshake $10 and it was bad it tasted like something was really off. She saw my face didn't say anything and for whatever reason I decided not to say anything either and I just sucked it up. They seemed really overwhelmed with the amount of people. I'll still go back but I probably wouldn't go on a Saturday night. read more

I've been here a couple times and the food and service is always great. The "seasonal" chicken ceasar sando is a MUST TRY and they need to make it a permanent menu item already. Pro tip: get a side of ceasar to dip your fries in and thank me later! I do have two (relatively minor) qualms about this place: 1. Some of dishes incorporate a LOT of different flavors which can be off putting at times. Most recently, I got the Ultimate BEC sandwich which I felt was ruined by an overly sweet bacon onion jam that came on it. Be sure to check each ingredient of your dish because the sweetness was unexpected and I would have enjoyed the sandwich a lot more without it. 2. The Heinz ketchup at the table isn't really Heinz which I find misleading and dangerous (for allergy and cross-contamination purposes). The ketchup also came out brown and was really not tasty. In my opinion, a diner should always have quality ketchup and the cost saving for the restaurant cannot be worth the poor taste/false advertising. Overall, worth checking out for their popular menu items. Just bring your own ketchup! read more

Stopped by today after seeing their boozy iced coffee flight on TikTok and was not disappointed! There was a 25 minute wait but our server was super attentive once we were sat. The seating was all booths with a full bar. Please also be mindful that this diner is located in a busy Main Street in town where there's a lot of foot traffic and parking was mainly on one side of the street with metered lots surrounding the area. I loved the chicken parm allá vodka fries! The chicken wasn't as crispy but as you can see the whole order was just smothered in cheese which surprisingly wasn't overwhelming. The boneless wings were more on the popcorn chicken side in terms of size but their chipotle bbq sauce was amazing. It did miss the mark and I would love to see more of the heat from the chipotle come through. All in all would recommend if you find yourself in the Farmingdale, NY area. read more
