    Tuna Salad Sandwich
    Philip Z.

    Our server seemed to be in a poor mood. Very slow all around, with barely a word uttered. I was in the service industry. I greeted everyone with a warm smile and a 'good morning.' That's the job. But she never got the message. The food was okay. The place is very clean, with a charming, hard working maitre d. Plenty of parking. But what good is it without friendly service?

    Visited Old Westbury Diner for breakfast with my plus one and tried their swirl French toast. It came out in a fun circular shape, which was a nice surprise, and it was delicious! Fluffy on the inside, perfectly crisp on the edges, and was sweet. I also had eggs and bacon, both cooked perfectly. The service was fast and the food came out quickly, and the waitress was friendly. The diner was very clean, fancy and cozy place. Overall, a really good diner experience definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want to try that famous French toast. Great spot for a tasty breakfast or brunch!

    Best French toast around!

    Diners are becoming few and far between on Long Island as the food service industry is evolving. But the diners that remain deserve their moment in the spotlight. One such venue is this one. There is literally something for everyone on their expansive menu, from breakfast to dinner to sandwiches to apps or dessert. I highly recommend their French toast. Superb! Two huge slices of bread eight a perfect coating, sprinkled with powdered sugar and accompanied by fresh butter and syrup. Opt for the deluxe and finger eggs, bacon, ham, and sausage. I've also gotten takeout from them while visiting someone in a nearby hospital. The turkey club is the best around, easily shareable or save leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend!

    Fried chicken

    Large venue, well lit and clean with both tables and booths. Large parking lot and a ramp into the diner as well as the restrooms so it is handicapped accessible. It has a large menu to choose from but the food was subpar. The fried chicken basket was tough, tasteless and greasy. The Greek salad was good but the chicken was dry. It is a little off the beaten path so I won't be returning.

    Great diner . Very nice interior. Fast service. Plenty of parking . Enjoyed my cheeseburger! Wife had lamb chops which came either salad and two vegetables, was good!

    We stopped in for breakfast this morning. We beat the lunch crowd and were seated right away. Our food was excellent; unfortunately, the service was lackluster. Maybe our server was having a bad day. We will be back.

    I'm not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. My family and friends have been going there for years! We always have a great meal. We usually go for breakfast and it is always delicious! The service sometimes can be a bit slow but overall great place for a nice comfort meal! Highly recommend. I rather have brunch here than at a "trendy" restaurant in the city. But that's just me:)

The interior gives that nostalgic retro diner feel. On a Saturday afternoon, our wait was about 25-30 mins, but it flew by quickly. Thomas's is beyond generous with their portions from the egg skillets to the pancakes. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions. And most importantly, everything here is absolutely delicious. My fiance & I ordered two orders of the blueberry pancakes, which was a mistake because of how MASSIVE each order was; we could've easily split one. We also ordered the sides of corned beef hash and ham steak. Highly highly recommend both. The corned beef hash is SO delicious & homemade, and the ham steak is huge! The staff here are really lovely and attentive. Our coffee cups never went empty. Parking is available on site, but incredibly difficult to get a spot. I wouldn't bet on parking here - be prepared to park elsewhere and walk over. Definitely our new go to diner spot!

    There is a particular kind of restaurant that understands its job is not to dazzle you into silence…read morebut to make conversation easier. The Shed, on Merrick Avenue, is that kind of place. The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.

Service this time wasn't the best, had to track our waiter down a few times seemingly forgetting what we'd asked and never refilling the water. Hubby's second cup of coffee was cold and had to be sent back. Will definitely return and hope for a bit better service than we had tonight.

    WARNING: Extremely disappointing and potentially unsafe experience…read more I rarely leave reviews like this, but people need to be aware of what I experienced at this deli. I bought the cocktail shrimp ($12 for half a pound) and was shocked. The shrimp had a greenish discoloration on the sides, was extremely stringy, and had an off smell. It did NOT look or taste fresh and honestly raised serious concerns about quality and storage. When bringing it to the attention of the cashier she replied "Ella no quiere". Bringing it to another person attention "what happened" Ella no quiere again. It's not that I don't want it. It was disgusting they were selling green shrimp. The gentleman at the counter was very sweet, but even if he gave me a fresh one, it would've been from the same green, stringy batch regardless. They should absolutely not be serving this especially on the Fourth of July. I also tried the lobster salad ($22 for a small half pound), which was basically mayonnaise with corn and celery and only a few tiny pieces of lobster. nowhere near worth the price. The chicken salad ($12.99) was even worse. It was oily, unappetizing, and looked like it had been sitting out for a long time. Easily the worst chicken salad I've ever had. Look at that oil! Overall, everything I purchased felt low quality and questionable in freshness. I was genuinely disgusted and surprised a place like this would sell products in this condition. I would strongly caution others before buying seafood or prepared foods here. I will not be returning.

Would not refuse to go back but will definitely move down on the list of favorites.
