Me and girlfriend Went to this diner, which had terrible service we was seated for 20 mins, with no service no, water, and no one took our order For drinks & food. We left and nobody said anything and nobody apologized for the wait. Terrible place. Upon us being seated we over Hurd the wait staff arguing with one another very unprofessional, they then proceeded to take someone's order who came after us. read more

Went back to Mitchell's not long ago. My kid loves the place and I wish my husband and I did. The place is walking distance from our home which is a positive. The food was good however I ordered a gyro with fries on the side. There were perhaps 8 fries on my plate. I asked if this was the norm I was told yes. It's French fries just a few more would have made us happy. Not a fan. read more

Mitchell's is always the place to go for a quick bite. Good food, good vibes, good people and good coffee

Excellent service, peaceful, friendly, food is best in town, family style, date night, great for a simple coffee/tea

First time coming here yesterday Sunday morning, for breakfast with family. I like the variety of breakfast food in their menu. I love peanut butter which I don't usually see in most diner menus. Saw it here and gladly Ordered one funny named dish- fluffernutter! Challah French toast with chunky peanut butter and melted marshmallows. So yummy! I wished they put a bit more peanut butter though. My bro ordered croissant royale with cream cheese and strawberries. The croissant could have been bigger for the price and we were expecting the cream cheese to be those creamy whipped and slightly sweet type. It seemed they put the regular cream cheese that you would put on a harder bagel. Staff was nice, service was good, decor was common for diner, I like the booths, Typical diner prices. I would come back again. read more

Met colleagues there for a Saturday morning breakfast meeting at 7am. Original waitress was fine, food was delicious and plenty although no grits or cream of wheat which some guests wanted Reviewing spreadsheets with colleagues and the diner at 60% occupancy another waitress cane over and made a comment about how "we were holding her up" and we needed "to vacate the space." I prefer to shop local but I'm not sure if I'll visit the establishment again due to this. read more

This place is bizarre! The women who work here all hate each other. And the owner can be seen angrily marching into the kitchen from time to time. And once you get passed the uncomfortable personalities... Well the food is just as off putting. read more

Three tries - three orders wrong. Won't be ordering from this restaurant again. items are wrong, cold, missing. used the excuse of being understaffed - don't take orders if you can't complete them! read more

The food and service was wonderful !!! Great breakfast spot !!! Very clean. You must see the cookies they bake and pile up ! Wow!!

I am a party of two, they won't seat you unless my whole party is here. So basically I can't sit and have coffee or tea till my guest arrive? But If I was a party of one I will use a table with two chairs. It doesn't make sense. I understand a party of 5+. Also, the place is empty. So sitting in my car when I can be having coffee. Reconsider your policy read more

Ordered delivery on a Saturday night; cheeseburger was amazing and cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a breakfast platter. Not only did it look wonderful, he says it was really delicious! Definitely recommend. Delivery was fast and food was hot. No issues at all. read more

So 2 main complaints -- 1) employees are not covering nose with the mask during COVID crisis 2) $5.99 for a side of fries - ridiculously overpriced for Restaurant Depot type fries -- not homemade Food is average diner food, on the pricey side (evidence of $5.99 fries) - nothing special. read more

Clean, well-lit, unembellished, Mitchell's pays homage to the diners of yesteryear. With a vast menu, a kind, thoughtful wait staff, and an abundance of free, municipal parking nearby, it is a wonderful destination for those looking to have a hearty, healthy meal. As vegetarians, we felt at home with the options; our portions were generous to boot. I finished my meal with a piece of homemade blueberry pie, whole wheat crust, and a coffee. Can't wait to go back! read more

The Manager at this location is extremely rude. Never smiles and always says something unpleasant. She probably thinks that she does people a favor by letting them eat there. Not going there anymore. There are plenty of places where owners value your business. read more

Service was fabulous. Price was about on par for LI and this area. Portions were large. I felt the food was undercooked and not very flavorful. I would try again in case it's an off day. read more

Today was my second visit to this diner. The first time and this time I had Denise as my server. It's her personality and grace that will keep me coming back. Today I had the fried filet of sole sandwich with fries. It came to the table nice and hot. Once again, COVID precautions were in place. The only gripe, instead of those little honey packs, management should have little cups of honey for those of us who like honey vs sugar. read more

We love this place. My son can't wait to see his favorite waitresses. They know him by name and and love him to pieces. The food is great and the service always the best. Grandma gets her gluten-free meal and I love the Greek Salad. The main reason we go every week is to see our favorite people Denise, Maureen, and Lisa. They are a true blessing and brighten our day. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. Great and Fresh food, my waitress was so attentive and friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Food was just ok. I had seafood bisque with no seafood in it. My chicken was just ok. They had my mom stand with a cane for awhile as they were saving the table 5 or more. Then they sat us there. The waitress never came over to us. They don't seem well managed as no one seemed to know who was our waitress. It took a long time to even get a menu even once I asked for one. We had the hostess take our order after a very long time. I just feel there are other diners and ice cream places nearby with much more caring service and better food. I won't be back! read more

A HAIRY PLACE 2nd time in 1 week Black Hair in my food. Waitress had a cold wiped her nose with her hand going into the kitchen and brought out my food. They should be ashamed of themselves. Wear a mask when serving food when you have a cold or dont work until your Better! read more

Avoid! The owner of the diner is a penny pinching shrew. Because I am lactose intolerant I asked for a drop of almond milk for my coffee and was told it would be 50 cents extra. I mean seriously??? I asked why when no other place charges for almond or soy I was told if 50 cents was a big deal to me I was not her kind of customer. Really??? Avoid unless you want to be charged extra for every small thing. read more

The food was delicious and our waitress was great and attentive. however, management had my family and I very upset. they were getting ready for a very large party and preparing the tables. someone I assume was the manager or owner was talking so disrespectfully to one of the bus boys it caught my family and a few other's attention. she was so disrespectful and rude. at one point while he was moving chairs and she slammed into him on purpose and stared at him like do something about it. It broke my heart so my step mom and I spoke out. She didn't acknowledge us but she stopped picking on him after. Then later the large party came and they pretty much began to rush us out our booth. I barely ate half my sandwich and twice they came to ask if I wanted to wrap it to go. I had to feed my 5 month old so I started eating later than my parents. When we said something to management all they said was well what are we supposed to do with the 50 ppl we need to sit? as if we weren't paying as well. Anyway food Yummy, good service from serving staff, but terrible and unprofessional/untrained management for a hospitality profession. read more

The best gluten free pancakes I've ever tasted ! Love that they are open super late too.

Visited for lunch on Tuesday 8/04/20 It's never a good sign if the few parking spaces that are there are empty but we went in anyway. We were seated immediately and given water and a menu. The waitress appeared to have other duties including serving outside tables and the counter; both were empty. So taking 20 minutes to get the coffee we asked for upon arrival seemed unusual. Then, when the coffee arrived our order was taken. It took at least an half an hour to get the food all the while watching the waitress behind the counter moving like a snail (maybe slower) never once offering to refill my coffee or water cup. The place appeared very clean and the food is good. But you can expect to need well over an hour for a 20-30 minute lunch. read more

Terrible place. Owners are so mean! They treat their staff like complete shit. I worked here for 3 weeks and quit just as fast as I started. Sheryl was rude to not only staff but to customers. Refused to allow a lady her walker; made people keep strollers outside. Food was not good. When on break I wanted to order something and she told me it "wasn't food for ladies, get a salad." Total dump. They care more about their jersey location than this one. I would NOT recommend going to this place. So many other great places to spend your money. There's a reason the Mitchell's original location went out of business. Disgusting establishment. read more

Great food, great service. Covid hasnt stopped the owner from doing his own deliveries. Thumbs up. Hope to get out of this Covid stuff so we can go back to dine in. read more

I have never seen more disrespectful managers/owners in my life. I went to Mitchell's yesterday with another adult and 2 toddlers. Our service was not the best (forgot drinks, had to ask numerous times for sides, etc) but that wasn't the worst of it. During our meal I watched them make an elderly woman with a cane move tables in the middle of her me so they could accommodate a larger party. How rude?! When we got the check they had charged us for a drink we never got. When we asked her to change it she stated "oh god I'm gonna get yelled at" the management/ownership here is disgusting for having their employees fear them so much that they're afraid to admit they made a minor mistake. On the way out we were asked how the meal was, the woman I was with was honest and said everything I just listed above. The owner smiled and laughed in her face while ignoring her and talking to other people. Why ask someone how the meal was if you don't care? After all was said and done she just said "okay" no apology or anything. Will never be back! read more

Great Service. Great food! Awesome dessert! Great place to hang with family and friends Thank you!!!! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. The owner was so rude to my elderly mother. She should be ashamed of herself!!!

very disappointed! Staff was very rude . No one was at the host stand when I arrived , the older waitress was sitting around the counter top as soon as I walked in she didn't have the courtesy to turn around but begins to say "yes yes" so we just stand there than the other lady standing behind the counter said yes as well ! Not once did any of them say good morning or welcome. So the one sitting down turned around and said does that come off because I can't let you in with the stroller! No greeting no anything very rude ! Diner was empty by the way , she just kicked out customers . Very nasty older lady!!! I came back in and asked when the manager would be in she than started to tell me there are no strollers allows I continued to say all I want is to know when the manager will be in. Very disgusted by her whole attitude, especially since I've come in before with a stroller because my older son is disabled! She was very disrespectful read more

Omg! Horrible.. My first time here.. My teenager couldn't order chicken tenders off kids menu so I paid $13.99 for an adult size tenders/FF. Greasy .. I had BLT ..Horrible old bacon.. Mayo warm and not Hellmans .. The only good was the pickle and slaw. Waitress nice .. but I will never go back! Just sayin yuck! read more

Ate here for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised! The breakfast was great and the prices are extremely fair for the amount of food they give you. All the ladies were pleasant and friendly, the bus boy was great with water and coffee refills, and our favorite waitress from the lynbrook diner that shut down, Violetta is there! We will be returning for lunch, the establishment is extremely clean. read more

Got food poisoning from their food. The place was almost entirely empty when I went, and I guess the food was sitting around too long. When I called the owner to let them know, they kept cutting me off and did not care at all that they got me sick. I will definitely never return. Even the waitress confided that some of the cakes, etc had been sitting there for at least two weeks. NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

AWFUL! Just awful. I was in on Saturday night with my husband, no one greeted us, we were seated after about 10 mins of just standing up front. When the server finally came to the table, we felt like a burden for just being there. When our food arrived, my bacon was burnt on top of my pancakes and I waited a long time for my server. I was told it was cost extra money for the bacon . I didn't want to cause a scene but being on the board of three local women's clubs I think its outrageous if a customer isn't satisfied with their meal to be charged extra. I heard stories and I guess they are all true. JUST STAY AWAY! I will definitely be telling everyone about this and make sure we stick to the other local places. ***NO STARS*** read more

The problem is the inconsistency. Half the time it's great half the time it's awful. I order the same thing every single time and when I order it in the evening it's incredible and delicious but if I order it in the afternoon forget it... awful. A lettuce wrap came soaking wet and soggy with about 7 McDonald's looking French fries. It was so unfulfilling I didn't even bother finishing it. Really unfortunate. read more

This is not your typical diner. It certainly has an older funky vibe, where the waitresses are spunky (which may be confused with being rude), quick-witted and has an old school humor bordering sarcastic. I actually enjoy that so I didnt take anything personally and enjoyed my breakfast experience. The food was average. It's a typical local diner, so I didnt expect some grand cuisine. But I did enjoy my food. I've been here a few times and haven't been disappointed yet. (Ok maybe the coffee wasn't the best, but drinkable). If you are looking for a local old school feel for your breakfast or dining experience, give this place a try. read more

I was part of a party of 3 on Easter Sunday 2019. We were greeted sat & immediately and given a glass of water. We did not see a waitress for 15 min.There after orders were taken. Two of the three orders came to the table incorrect and the elderly waitress immediately placed blame on us. I personally waited so long I just ate the croissant & coffee I ordered .The croissant was burned the 1st time around & toasted the second time. I never asked for it toasted. I was charged 10.00 for a croissant and coffee. I asked for a manager to complain about the service. He never showed up. The cashier said there was no manager available but I could leave a note. This place is a joke. I would eat at 7-11 before I would eat there. Kenny D Queens NY read more

For a diner that was newly renovated they somehow nailed the old 70's decor. It not that nice inside, none of the staff is all that nice either. The food isn't great. But. If you look at from another perspective. It's not that bad either. Typical diner. read more

We've been coming here for over 10 years and we love this place. Cheryl is the best and does whatever she can to make your experience great at Mitchell's. We order out a lot from here and the food is always great. They always have the best wait staff and are so friendly. It's always a pleasure coming here. read more
