I will NEVER complain about the food or service -- ALWAYS GREAT, both, always! But fix the air conditioning already! It's June and it's warmer inside than it is outside! As I've written in the past, if the roof isn't leaking inside, then the heat is broken. If it's not the heat, the A.C. is down! Was just there on Fri. or Sat. when it was a little hotter than normal and I walked in to a jet blast when opening their inside doors. I stuck it out but honestly, I think I'm done until fall. It's the building that's going to be this businesses downfall! The couple on the other side of the divider from me were fanning themselves the entire time they were seated! read more

Their slogan needs to be, "If we can make it homemade, we will!" To start I ordered the chicken and rice soup. It was super good and clearly, homemade. Oh! And only $5.00 for a bowl. Really!! Next we ordered a Reuben with extra crispy fries. They came out perfectly done with just the right amount of crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside. It also came with cole slaw, again, homemade The sandwich was served in seedless rye. When I asked the server, Sam, about where it was made he said it was brought in from a baker in NY. The corned beef was exceptional and, again homemade. The first thing you see when you walk in is their big dessert case. We didn't have room but we sure wanted to get something. When you go, mind your appetite. In other words, LEAVE ROOM. We will be going back, When I asked about where the desserts were made I was told that they are all made in premises, too! Surprise! Sam, our server was amazing. He made us feel like we were his only clients but without overdoing it. It's a nice place to sit and eat. It's so reminiscent of a classic NYC diner. If you're passing through, you should stop. Bon appétit. read more

I've passed by Dinerluxe building multiple times for the past 2 years when it was closed. Finally, they reopened in December, and I'm glad they did. The meal comes with a salad and bread. I started with French onion soup with a perfect amount of Gruyère cheese and a tasty broth. And for lunch, I've been craving comfort food and decided to try their meatloaf with mashed potatoes and veggies. The meatloaf was deliciously comforting. The texture was just right, with a nice balance between tender and hearty. The mashed potatoes with gravy complemented the meatloaf well. The veggies were fresh and well-seasoned. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some classic comfort food! Service was excellent. The diner has a glitzy exterior but has a cozy atmosphere inside. It's clean, newly updated interior, and comes with excellent service. Rob, the server, was awesome! Had a nice chat with him. read more

Overall: I went to this retro style diner on a Sunday morning for brunch with a couple of friends. It was a little crowded and the hostess seemed overwhelmed, but we were seated within 10 minutes. Everything was solid and came in large portions. Our server was particularly friendly and helped us navigate the large menu. We'll be back! Food: 3 Drinks: 3 Service: 5 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Food: I got the corned beef hash as my entree and we split a short stack on pancakes as an appetizer. The corned beef was decent, but it was essentially a pile of shredded beef next to a pile of shredded potatoes. I expected them to be integrated better. The pancakes were a highlight - nice and fluffy. Drinks: We each got an iced coffee and a mimosa. The mimosas come as a giant glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and a full bottle of prosecco. Coffee was mediocre, but the orange juice was great. Service: Our waitress was incredibly friendly. She was attentive and helped us optimize our order for the most economical deal. Value: All in our meal came to ~$45 per person. We did order a couple of drinks each, but that seems very high for some breakfast foods. It was tasty and good portion sizes, but not priced for value. Atmosphere: The restaurant was huge and styled like an old school diner, complete with jukebox and claw machines. The jukebox was broken and some of the decorations come off as creepy though. Otherwise it seemed like a good family atmosphere. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is high quality art deco. I had a Chicken Caesar Wrap that came with fries, a pickle and cole slaw. It didn't have enough chicken or dressing in my opinion but it was okay. The wife had the Grilled Chicken Cranberry, apple and Pecan salad and stated that it was very good. This place has a wide variety of very nice baked desserts. The service was good. read more

That was the worst diner I have been to. The waitress was too busy with her boyfriend and couldn't pull herself away to give any service, didnt write down anything, so of course food came out wrong. Had to ask for water twice. The bathroom smelled like something died. Will never go back!​ read more

We stopped by for a late lunch yesterday and had a wonderful experience. First off, this place catches your attention when driving by with its modern twist on a 50s-style Americana diner. While it's not a traditional diner car, it showcases the era's glitz, flashy décor, and chrome in a fresh, well-kept establishment. The staff was very friendly and courteous throughout our visit. Although we waited an uncomfortably long time from being seated to placing our drink order, we weren't in a rush, so it didn't detract too much from the experience. The menu offers a variety of classics--burgers, fries, pot roast, chicken and biscuits, and all kinds of sandwiches from a Reuben to a Cuban, along with plenty of breakfast options. Oddly, a simple grilled cheese wasn't on the menu, which struck us as a bit unusual. We settled on the Tex-Mex Chicken Sandwich, which came with a side of chili-nacho concoction, along with an order of mac and cheese balls and some fries. Everything was delicious! The sandwich was flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The nachos did get a bit soggy from the grease and chili juices--but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The mac and cheese balls were perfectly cooked and hearty enough to be a meal on their own. The fries could have used a bit more salt, but that was an easy fix. This is definitely a place to try. It's conveniently located right on the main road with plenty of parking. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained--a worthy stop for any diner enthusiast. read more

We passed this place so many times when it was still closed and was excited to see it re opened. We were greeted and seated quickly by the friendly staff. we placed our order. My french onion soup was very good. My chicken quesadilla was so so. I like caramelized onion, BUT it made the quesadilla soggy. My husband had a corned beef reuben. He said it was very good. The fries were mediocre. We will go back to give it a second chance. read more

100% mediocre and way too overpriced for what it is. Hamburger was really small and they forgot to fulfill a simple request for it. Sides of fries are really small as well. Water was never refilled. Nothing special about this place at all and there are far better diners within a short drive. Seat was sticky. Not worth stopping here unless you're desperate. read more

Staff and desserts were amazing. I would highly recommend this diner. We will be returning. read more

The manager, Amanda has done a great job with the waitstaff. All of them are courteous and seem much happier lately. Service has been very much improved over the past six months. Food is good and menu has good choices. read more

Recently we visited the Dinerluxe and we had such an exceptional dining experience. When you first enter the restaurant, you are greeted by the friendly staff. You immediately notice the beautiful homemade baked goods and inviting ambiance. Our waiter was attentive and friendly throughout our dining experience. The menu offers a wonderful variety of options for everyone to choose from. There are so many delicious options. Our food came out quickly, and was absolutely delicious!! The baked kefalatiri cheese with local honey, wrapped in filo was amazing, and I highly recommend trying this dish. We also ordered the grilled artichoke with garlic aioli, and not only was it beautiful, but was delicious. Everything we ordered was perfected cooked and flavorful. We loved the inviting and warm atmosphere of Dinerluxe, the variety of dishes offered in the menu and look forward to trying additional dishes soon. This is definitely a place we would recommend to try. It was very easy for us to access and there is plenty of parking. We cannot wait to return! read more

Up on checking in on the Yelp app, Yelp & Diner Luxe offered a 10% coupon off the entire check. To redeem you're supposed to show the offer to your server or any employee.. when we showed our waitress she said promptly said "NO", so I quietly put my phone down as I was a little embarrassed. The food was ok, a little too much salt in the omelette & hollandaise sauce. The chicken & cranberry wrap was mediocre, with way too much blue cheese. My daughter ordered scrambled eggs & pancake which was fine. During checkout, I showed the 10% off to the hostess who had to check with someone who had to check with the manager. They held my phone a good distance away from us discussing wether or not to honor it.. We did end up getting the discount but I'm hesitant to ever do that again.. it was so embarrassing... Overall the experience was mediocre from the staff to the food. read more

I took my grandson there for our annual "Papa Benjamin Birthday Breakfast." The food was great. Megan our server was outstanding. They treated my grandson in such a special way with a balloon, small toys, free refill on his juice, and a free cookie on the way out. FANTASTIC​ experience all the way around! read more

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Meg was our server and helped us decide what to order off the huge menu. We got the greek salad with a side of spanakopita which was delicious - fresh and flavorful. My partner got Jambalaya which was also outstanding. It was loaded with big shrimp and chicken. We took a piece of baklava cheesecake home for later and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend! read more

3 cars in the parking lot should of been a sign, food took forever. A customer seated 20 minutes after us and he was regular got served his food before us, out of towners. I realized why my wife ordered Oatmeal and I believe the cook did not have any cooked ahead of time. It was bland probably cooked in water (cheap) and no flavoring was added to it. I ordered pancakes that were so dry all of the syrup in the world wouldn't do them any good. Don't go there if you are expecting a quick tasty breakfast. read more

Had dinner today. Looks like they are going cheap again and will go down hill again. The chicken special was terrible. It tasted rancid. It seems they got rid of the nice large Coke glasses they had previously. The coke didn't taste the same either. Its a shame because we were going there almost weekly. You now have to ask for the bread with your dinner or you wont get any. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. read more

Well, was I happy to see that the original owners have reopened the diner once again. This was my go-to place for many years until the new owners ran it into the ground. Welcome back Dino and staff! My friend and I had a lovely meal on Thursday evening and funny enough, we were escorted to the exact booth that we'd used for years! We love the Cobb salad and both ordered it. The salad was perfect, large enough for a full dinner and it was so yummy. The place looked wonderful, with the addition of some very nice pictures and memorabilia of movie stars from back in the day. Our waitperson, Allyssa, was very nice, attentive and took good care of us. Every person who works there had a smile on their faces and were very welcoming. I always loved the ambiance of this diner...a reminder of different and simpler times. We'll be back for sure!! read more

Horrible. I don't know what is worse: the cheap, penny-pinching Greeks who own it ("Dino") or the young & very immature wait & hostess staff who work there. Despite the fact that we go to that diner (went, I should say) about 3x per week, we were dismissed today like our situation didn't mean anything to him (Dino). The table was not cleaned well the evening before & thusly this morning when we were there (early, around 7:45am), the table was loaded with chocholate syrup - it got all over my elbow of my brand new white hoodie - and then my calf was literally stuck to the face of the seat bench as someone, the night before, must have spilled a sticky soda & it was not wiped down. They have to check for those kinds of things when they "clean" but failed to do so. So I asked Dino to take my meal off of the bill - becausee he did not suggest it - and he was actually bothered by it! He begrudgingly did it but I had to press the issue. Bad enough, when my husband went up to him the first time, to ask for a wet cloth so that I could clean my soiled sweatshirt & wipe the table HE (Dino) should have cleaned the table of the syrup himself! Then, when I went up to him directly about the sticky booth he shrugged his shoulders and said: "things happen". Right - so things like losing good customers & bad reviews also happen, too. Jerk. Never again will I ever go to Diner Luxe. read more

Our waiter, Ryan, was excellent, especially considering we were a large group of teenagers, lol. Service was fast and our food was delicious! Everybody came out to sing one of us happy birthday, it was an all-around great experience. I will be returning! read more

Ate here recently. The waffles were delicious but the fried chicken was over cooked and way too much breading that held onto the oil. The toasted cheese sandwich with a tomato basil dip was really nasty. Why use processed oil slice cheese for a toasted cheese. That's just cheap and low quality. Do it right or don't bother. read more

Absolutely fire place service was amazing especially Ryan he deserves a raise he was so chill and fun I was so full because the food was so good, I love the breakfast menu, besides that everything was amazing and I'll for sure come back read more

They really need to fix whatever septic issue they have. It smells awful in there and I lose my appetite every time I go. Breakfast is good but I wouldn't bother getting lunch or dinner unless you want rubbery chicken or something. All the waiters and staff are super nice though so it's unfortunate the food quality and ambiance don't match! read more

Solid 3-star diner. Thanks to previous reviews I wasn't expecting a lot, but I went in hungry and came out... not hungry. Typical menu, huge and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner all day. The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the Reuben with corned beef (you have a pastrami option) and it was exactly as expected. Not that good, with far more sauerkraut than meat. The cheese and 1000 island sauce was unnoticeable, or maybe even missing. Anyway, it's a diner. It cures hunger without fanfare. If you're hungry stop in. If you prefer a food experience keep driving. read more

This place has a cute retro diner feel. Came for breakfast on a Saturday morning and was seated immediately. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Menu had decent selections and prices were fair. The mimosas were good and so was my chicken souvlaki. Food came out very quickly, which made for a quick in and out experience. Seems like your standard diner. I'd go back again. read more

DISGUSTING! So we've been here before a few times , and definitely the service and food have been on a decline. First it's been over a year that they have a sewer leak and still haven't fixed it. It's u sanitary and the scent carries through the diner especially if you're seated next to the bathroom. Food came and definitely not what it used to be. The onion rings I got were burnt, and I ordered the slovaki sandwich. $12.99 on the menu, receipt was charged $14.00. We told the manager "Raul" about the scent, the burnt food and his response was no one else has an issue. Very Rude! I would think twice before going back here. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Comfort food at its best. Thick yummy Fettuccini Alfredo accompanied my boyfriend's Lemon Chicken. Huge portions - enough to share with me, the girlfriend who said I wasn't hungry. The macaroni and cheese balls did not disappoint. The accompanying creamy tomato basil sauce is perfect. Ma was wowed by the onion rings that went with her portabella panini. Can't go wrong with a portabella panini she said. read more

DinerLuxe is a beautiful place. Lovely decor. But in the restaurant and via GrubHub, we've had issues with quality of the food, mostly in how it was cooked. Tonight for example -- actually 3 pm so they can't be that busy. We ordered via GrubHub... our food arrived in a timely manner. However, most items were overcooked and dried out... the potato skins, the calamari and my husbands pot roast were pretty much inedible. The potato skins were so scorched the cheese was baked beyond recognition! My seafood trio was bland. Lemony which I like but no other flavors. The stuffed shrimp scallops and salmon all tasted the same. I definitely won't order it again. Very disappointed. We won't order there again. read more

In needed of soaking up what I drank at the brewery down the street, my hubby & I stopped here. BEST DECISION!!! 5STAR SERVICE = the young man waiting on us was friendly, charming & attentive. 5STAR FOOD = this phenomenal wrap I got with chicken apples pecans, to die for, sweet potato fries CRISPY. YUM 5STAR TO A CLEAN BATHEOOM AND OVER ALL THE RESTAURANT WAS SPOTLESS. As a New Yorker, I will gladly drive the hour and a half to come back to this place. read more

This diner is a model for all its competitors. Their menu is as long as it is creative. They serve breakfast whenever they're open, and appear to have a well-stocked bar (never sampled it, I don't drink). The owners and wait staff are all very friendly. A lot of restaurants closed for good during the pandemic; I'm happy to note that this place survived! read more

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! This diner has dropped to a new low. We ordered the 1/2 sandwich, soup, and salad lunch special and received a luke warm bowl of soup and an ice cold sandwich that felt like it came out of the freezing cold fridge. The " toast" and the bacon was ice cold which means it was not freshly made. We complained and they brought another sandwich out and this time they nuked it and the bread was beyond soggy. Upon close inspection, there was a slimy clear substance on the turkey that looked weird. We were so turned off at this point that we were ready to go. Imagine getting a sandwich with a mysterious substance dripping from the side. Not a good thing to see in the age of Covid. Yuck! We complained to the manager and he ran back to the kitchen with it and took it upon himself to make us new sandwiches. Sorry, not interested at this point, we lost lost our appetites. Never ever ever ever returning. Really sad because I used to come here a lot. Never again! read more

I'm not one for leaving reviews but today's experience at this location was lackluster. When we arrived there was complete disarray, no organization at all, the host did an extremely good job at taking control of the situation and managed to get some form of order. We were seated soon after, only to be left waiting for around 20 minutes before our waitress came over to take our orders, we then waited a further 40 minutes for our food, waiting wasn't an issue as I had nothing planned for the day so that was okay. I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese amongst other things. I had never seen such little effort go into a bagel with cream cheese in my life, they literally put an entire block of cream cheese in my bagel and called it a day. When it came to the table, it was a joke at first and took an obligatory picture but then noticed there was a hair in between the bagel and cheese (I have a shaved head so it wasn't mine for sure) the waitress did not come back to check if the food was okay and it's not my job to flag them down to tell her there's a problem, as this was not the only food item I ordered, I wasn't too phased by it. Around 30 minutes later she came by and offered me a box for the bagel, I then explained that I wouldn't be taking it as it had a hair in it, she replied with "I wish you'd have told me sooner.." like I had a chance to. I'm not one to make a scene so I just left it at that and showed my appreciation in the tip, that I (didn't) leave. read more

It looks fabulous but the beauty is only skin deep. I ate there once and wasn't happy that I was served fake food.

We use to come all the time and it was good a little pricey but good quality. Now it's the same price but the quality and portions have greatly gone down. I know that time are hard right now but people will always want quality over anything else. Over had a not good time hoping it changes back soo. read more

This place has been a wonderful diner because of the food and service. I do not know what has happened in the the last few months but the service, food, and ambiance is awful. My husband and I were there yesterday, September 4. The place is empty. Food is bad. What has happened? we will not go there again and will told others not to do so either. But we used to tell others it was great. read more

Ok, we stopped going to Diner Lux for almost a year, since we thought their breakfast service was so slow . We were there for lunch recently, had a fun waiter and great nachos, so we thought we should give them another shot at breakfast We were too optimistic. We were seated with about 4 other tables taken , and we waited. No service or hope of service soon, so we just left , went to 3 brothers down the block. Within 5 minutes we were drinking coffee and had placed our order. Nuff said. At least they are consistent. read more
