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

The menu options are extensive there is definitely something for everybody there. The French toast was pretty good but once you remove the fun/yummy toppings it loses some flavor. Service was great! Staff was friendly and attentive for a Sunday morning. This place is very much a diner but with a bar and a trendy menu. I will definitely be back because you have to work your way through the menu. read more

They don't take reservations, but my friend and I came in for lunch on a Saturday around 12 PM and were seated immediately. The hostess who seated us was training and was very friendly. She did forget to give us the seasonal cocktail menu, though, which normally wouldn't have been a big deal, except I couldn't find it online, nor was it loading on their website. We waited about 10-15 minutes before our server, Melissa B., came over to greet us. When we politely asked for "the drink menu," she responded, "We don't have a drink menu, we have a cocktail menu," in a tone that came across as a little bothered. I just said, "Yeah, that's what I meant :)" Thankfully, the cocktails were easily the highlight of the experience. I ordered the espresso martini, which was phenomenal, and my friend really enjoyed her Hugo Spritz. If I ever came back, it would honestly be for the cocktails rather than the food or service. For food, I ordered the buffalo ranch wrap with no tomatoes and the ranch on the side. My friend ordered the chicken Caesar sandwich on a pretzel bun. Our food came out very quickly, but my order had two mistakes: the ranch was inside the wrap and it also had tomatoes. Melissa came back to check on us about five minutes later, and once I pointed it out, I had a corrected wrap within another five minutes, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the wrap itself was just okay. The tortilla wasn't pressed or warmed enough to melt the cheese, so it felt like I was eating cold cheese with buffalo chicken strips. I had also asked for my fries well done, but they weren't cooked that way with either order. When my replacement food arrived, we weren't given utensils or napkins, so we ended up borrowing some from the empty table next to us. While we were still eating, what appeared to be a manager or supervisor in a long sun dress pushed another table directly against ours, presumably to prepare for a larger party. It wasn't a huge issue, but it felt a little awkward and inconsiderate while we were still sitting there eating. I also ordered their house made blue cheese dressing on the side. This is obviously personal preference, but I wasn't a fan. It had more of a mayonnaise-like consistency, very similar in appearance to the Caesar dressing on my friend's sandwich. I tend to prefer blue cheese dressing with more texture and actual blue cheese crumbles. Overall, I left pretty disappointed. I had seen their Instagram page with around 30K followers and went in thinking, "Wow, this place must be really good." I also thought the whole "Whiskey Girls" concept was cute and expected the service to be a little more upbeat, hospitable and personable. Unfortunately, that wasn't really our experience (especially with Melissa B as our server) Toward the end of lunch, we waited quite a while for our check. I was genuinely close to calling the front desk from my seat to ask for it when Melissa finally came back. My friend and I had actually considered ordering another round of cocktails*, but after feeling mostly ignored once my replacement food was delivered, we decided to spend our money at the Library Cafe next door instead, where the drinks ended up being cheaper and we enjoyed the atmosphere more. For me, this was probably a one & done experience. The cocktails were excellent, but the food and service left a lot to be desired. That said, everyone has different experiences, so give it a try for yourself. read more

This was my first time coming here and the experience and food was OK. I know it's a Saturday, and the weekend crowds get busy, but though we got seated quickly, it took a while for our waitress to come over and acknowledge us. Then when we placed our orders for 3 iced lattes, she came with 1 iced and 2 hot... I hate starting with that, but first impressions are everything. Regarding the actual food, everything came out looking great, between the simple french toast, fried eggs, and bacon, but I wished the french toast actually carried the traditional cinnamon and nutmeg flavor profile. The look was great, with a perfect crisp to the bread, but there was no distinct taste. Maybe flavor the syrup with those elements or something. I will say that I enjoyed my fried eggs and crispy bacon. Would I come back...YES, because I want to give it another try and sample their lunch menu. read more

Arrived at 12 to a packed rather small parking lot.We were greeted with a smile. Our waitress Nicole was friendly. In 2 of us had the Apple Fig Grilled Cheese with smoked Gouda,apple slivers & a tad too much fig preserves served on sour dough with fries. Delicious with sweet tones. Another,a burger aficionado,said it was perfect with the right amount of juiciness.The fries were golden but not hot.The place is beautiful & seating was all booths with a few high top tables.Breakfast is served all day..sandwiches,shareable plates & classic diner dishes such as Reuben,tuna salad,BLT, burgers & salads are available. 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

Babylon Village - This new restaurant is beautifully designed while the atmosphere can be very lively and loud. Food is fair to good and the portions are large. My desert menu came with no prices which you don't normally find in a diner atmosphere. It's worth a try but its nothing I would go out of my way. 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

Whiskey Down Diner - Apple Fig Grilled Cheese - Bars Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

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

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 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

I was really shocked after coming here. I had heard mixed reviews but I had an incredible experience here.

My mom and I went to the Whiskey Down Diner on Friday around 4:45 for an early dinner because we heard the location in Babylon was opening that we wanted to try the food first. Even though we were sat right away a waitress did not come to our table for 15 minutes. It's a small place and it was not crowded. One waitress finally stopped and asked if someone had come and we said no, she apologized taking our order even though she said that they had a new waitress on and it was supposed to be her table. We got two beers, a burger and a chicken wrap. The food came out relatively quick BUT we did not get our beers until after the food was served. The food was great but then it took forever for the waitress to return to the point we rushed to just get out. I know it's not her fault because she was spread thin and the waitress that should have been at our table wasn't doing her job. The busboy was more attentive. Unfortunately, the service dampened our experience even though the food was great. Hopefully the service is better at the Babylon location when it finally opens. 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

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

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 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
