Whiskey Down Diner Came for the pancakes, stayed for the cocktails, reconsidered my entire life because the staff looks like they were cast for a Netflix rom-com but decided to serve eggs instead. In your next life you want to be married to a Whiskey Chick... that would be a life well-lived. 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

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

After another visit- still great tasting, innovative menu with great drinks! The chicken Caesar sandwich is such a great twist on this popular menu item. Again, the waitress was so helpful and accommodating with menu questions. 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

Great diner option in fun, downtown Farmingdale. Big menu with lots of options, and their seasonal specials menu offers lots of tantalizing options. I ordered off the specials - went there for the lobster roll but it was no longer available even though the website menu still had it up. No worries, pivoted to the butternut squash soup with delicious cubes of bacon and pumpkin seeds, and the chicken Caesar sandwich on a delicious pretzel croissant. Service was fine, and it was quite busy for a weekday lunch. Def worth a shot if you need an easy, informal option! 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

Always a great breakfast or lunch. Always great and polite friendly service. My favorite lunch is the Gyro platter. And for breakfast or lunch the best BLT around. Served with fries, slaw and a pickle. And outdoor seating on their patio when it's warmer. 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

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

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

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

Wanted to see what this diner was like since good reviews. I was disappointed to say the least. For a small place the menu was strange to say the least. The prices are higher than diner restaurants and the food was not good. Coffee was good at all with an after taste. The bacon was paper thin like the ready cooked packaged bacon you find at the supermarket. The home fries were slightly raw and under cooked on the grill. The service was pretty much young girls with not much experience. We waited a good 10 minutes before anyone came to us and this was well after lunch rush with only 2 tables. No reason to come back at all. read more

This spot was great for lunch and brunch. Just happened to be in the area and my husband was hungry. He found this spot and wanted to check it out. Loved the name of it. The service was on point.

Ok came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1130am, not my style but i worked crazy hours and slept in some. Getting here i noticed a crowd and knew there would be some sort of wait.... Walked in for my birthday breakfast with wifey and low and behold.... TWO BAR SEATS!!!! We sat Asap! I am pleaseedddddd. The menu is def capable of tantalizing any taste buds but you know im going for something sweet. I haven't had a good waffle in a while so i got the whiskey down waffle and man am i happy i did. This thing was delicious and i inhaled it slight fluffyness in a few quick bites to the point i didnt get it in the picture. I also got some sweet potato tots to accompany my breakfast and a nice ipa off tap which hit the mark. The place is small and fills up quickly but for good reason the food was top notch. They have a good menu which is now leaving motivation for another visit so i cant wait to come bacm read more

Came here on a Sunday Morning for my daughter's Birthday. When arrived we were told a 30 minute wait. Luckily we only waited a little over 10 minutes. It's not a very large typical diner, small and very cozy and decorated well for the holidays. We were seated and looked at the extensive menu and finally ordered the Boozy hot chocolate flight (s'mores, peanut butter and rainbow cookie) Wow it was awesome!! and a Choclate Milk. For food we had 2 orders of the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with fires, a Cannoli French Toast and a Breakfast Poutine. All our food came out together and hot. Portions were hot and plentiful. Definitely took some home. Now I see why I see many yelpers check in to Whiskey Down Diner. Hope to return soon. read more
