"This place was so clean and the service was fast !!!! We got greeted at the door , sat us down immediately and food came out 5 mins after we ordered! As a Floridian I was not used to that !! Food was yummy , large portions and at a great price !! Good service too !!"

"Bellissimo Diner vecchio stile. Si trova al confine fra Long Island e New York City (Queens). Hanno mantenuto le tradizioni della cucina newyorchese. Ottimi i cheesburger e le zuppe. Anche i dessert sono molto appetibili. Il servizio e rapido e professionale. I servizi igienici puliti. Chiaramente per un turista che si reca a NYC non sara semplice arrivarci, tranne se possiede l'App di Uber. E frequentato principalmente dai residenti."

"We were driving on the Long Island Expressway when we realized it was lunchtime and went in search of a restaurant so we decided to check out the New Hyde Park Diner . This was a brilliant decision since every thing we ate was delicious! Our server was helpful and while I can't recall the last time I asked for a container, I wanted to take the rest of my tuna melt on pita home with me! I was also impressed that our booth had its own jukebox!"

"My favorite from here is the breakfast and triple decker chicken salad sandwich with fries and coleslaw. 12/21/25 I ordered the triple chicken salad club/decker. The food looked good, but unfortunately the taste didn't match the presentation. I ended up taking the bacon off the sandwich because it tasted like it had been sitting out since the morning -- there was no real bacon flavor at all. The fries were hard, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the coleslaw was good and the water was fine, but overall the food just wasn't great this time. It's unfortunate because this is one of those places that was once known for really good food. Lately, it feels like quality is changing, and not for the better. Hopefully this was just an off day, but this visit didn't live up to what I've come to expect."
