We discovered this charming little dinner when showing our son a home. Have lived in Long Island my whole life. Wishing I would have found this treasure a long time ago. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by warm and welcoming employees. The food is fresh and presented with care. If your your in the area. read more

Have been here 2x in the past month and had 2 different experiences. The first time we had friendly service and the food was good. The second time, service was slow and food was terrible. Omelets were way overcooked, actually burned in spots. Home fries were burned on the bottom like they were never flipped over and had very large chunks of onion in them which was off putting. We hardly ate our meals. How can things change so much from one visit to another??Consistency is key for a restaurant and sadly this place is off my list. Spending $40-$50 for two people for breakfast;It needs to be consistently good. read more

Voted top 3 on Long Island for best breakfast!!! Come on in and enjoy some old fashioned home style cooking read more

Cute old town spot serving up classic diner food in a cozy environment. While pretty unassuming from the street, as soon as you walk in you're greeted with a very cute pink and mint green decor, that feels right out of the past. There's tables, small booths, and stools at the counter, and the staff is super welcoming and friendly. The food is what you would expect from classic diner fare, the breakfast being extra oily but solid. There are lots of options for full meals, down to even 8ish types of toast. Definitely worth a visit for the vibes and clsssic feel! read more

Wow....everything was amazing! I usually don't get a lot of feta when I order it in an omelette but there was feta in every bite. The portions as you can see are great for the price. FYI the sausage gray is salllttyyy so if you need to avoid salt, just convince someone else to order it and have a few bites. Seriously it was amazing. Everything you see was cooked to perfection. The place is wonderful just like the workers there. You can't go wrong here! read more

I'm here in town dropping my daughter off at school at NYIT and came across this cool little restaurant. I was in the mood for breakfast and found the Our Town Grill on Yelp. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a gentleman Teddy who seated me immediately. I picked a seat outside by a fountain surrounded by a garden. The server Lisa was extremely friendly and attentive. This is the kind of place where the whole vibe is that they want you to be happy and feel welcomed. Breakfast came out within a few minutes and was delicious. The bacon was nice and crispy, the coffee excellent and the eggs cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. read more

Our Town Grille - Breakfast with crispy bacon - American Near Me - Malverne, New York

If I could give zero stars, I would. The service was downright horrible--disrespectful and unprofessional from start to finish. The food was just as bad: fried chicken that was ice cold in the middle, a steak sandwich on stale bread, and two mediocre burgers that were certainly not worth $20 each. When we mentioned the chicken was still frozen, the waiter casually responded, "Do you want me to refry it?"--absolutely unacceptable. To make matters worse, when it came time to pay, we were forcefully prompted to leave a 20% tip, as if such poor service and food quality deserved it. We left with dirty looks from the staff, but also with certainty: we will never return, and we'll strongly discourage anyone else from dining here. read more

Cute place. Service was friendly but a bit slow at times. Chicken fingers and fries came out hot and just the way I like them. Honey mustard was great too. Would definitely come back for the chicken fingers and fries. The fried clam sandwich was said to be just OK. Coleslaw good. Prices a tad higher than expected but would come back. read more

I brought my grandson for breakfast a few weeks ago it's taken me some time to figure out this review the food is average as well as the service My problem is the amount of my bill 2 orders of Belgium waffles (which they said were very dry)with 2 orders of bacon (4slices each) ham & Swiss omelet 2 small cups apple and oj for my honeys and coffee for me (not at all good) $94.00 with tip and 2 pieces of candy 2 pieces of candy Well I dont know about everyone else but this is absolutely unexceptionable. Needless to say I will not be coming back My family and I have been coming here since the first groundhogs day with Malverne Mel read more

I had a wonderful experience at our town grille and can not wait to come back! The service was incredible and extremely accommodating! The ice tea was delicious! My grilled cheese was a 12/10! I will be back soon! read more

Our Town is wonderful. So happy to have a place like this nearby. Cute decor, fabulous staff, and good food. I recently read a few of the negative reviews and thought WHAT? We go often. The staff is wonderful, warm and friendly, and the owners, Jerry and Richard, are top notch. The decor is so nice, like being back in time. It gets crowded, especially during lunch or weekend breakfasts, so there might be a wait. When school is out, there can be a lot of kids, because this is a place that treats kids with respect. Richard, one of the owners, always asks the child, what they are going to eat. It is so respectful how he does this. I saw two comments about them being "racist". I am an observant person and I have never seen anyone on the staff treat someone differently because of their race, or any other cultural factor. In fact, the staff is quite diverse themselves. And drug addicts waiting tables? As I've said, I've been here a million times & have NEVER been waited on by a drug addict. Have no idea where this comm came from. Regarding the tip, these people work so hard for their money. Tipping is part of eating out in most places other than fast food chains. I'm sorry for your financial circumstances, but perhaps it would be better if you ate at a place that does not expect tips. As for the price of the food, the prices are clearly posted on the menu. it's customary to not eat in a place that you feel is too expensive. But, to post complaints about prices that you were aware of and chose to order the food anyway, is not fair. For anyone else reading these reviews, don't be persuaded by people who go into a place during a popular event like the tree lighting and find fault, where there is none. Give it a try! read more

This is an enjoyable little coffee shop. I like that they have specials that include your drink. The food is good, and the portions are well-sized. Thewaitress, however, is a surly old gal. I'm sure that the regulars are used to her, but she certainly doesn't endear herself to the customers. read more

Nice little quaint restaurant, I've been coming here for years, the owners are very pleasant and also the waiters. It's nicely decorated with pink and green colors. The food is really good prepared by the owner who's also the chef. The portion sizes are good. They have outside seating. The bathroom and eating area is clean, which is a plus for me read more

Love this place. Food is great service is awesome. Best steak and eggs around! My neighborhood spot and I've never had a bad meal here!

Nice luncheonette place. Only been here for breakfast. Homemade corn-beef hash is excellent . Biscuits and gravy are good as well. Home fries are nice with onions . I recommend the onion rye toast as well. Coffee is smooth and tasty. Nice decor and friendly waiter (Rich). A little more pricey than the diner, but worth it for special occasions. read more

Our Town is a trip back to Bedford Falls, to Bailey Brothers Saving and Loan, safe from the Mr. Potters of the world. You're always welcome there, a place to gather with old friends or to strike up a conversation with new ones. Gerry and Richard have created this warm environment and serve consistently good food as well. Their menu has a variety of choices and never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and efficient. So when I wake up and want to brighten my day with a breakfast or lunchtime treat, I head to Our Town - meet you there! read more

Wonderful old timey diner in the middle of town, close to the railroad. The hostess is friendly and treats you like an old friend. It got crowded right when I got there and I waited a long time for my food. Next time I will order ahead for take out, or better yet eat in. read more

This place just charged me 37 dollars for 2 egg sandwiches. Granted each egg sandwich was 2 egg whites and 2 eggs. They charged me 7.50 extra for each sandwich. Greedy !!! When this place goes out of business I will come and celebrate. Thief's ! Merry Christmas you animals read more

My scrambled eggs had no flavor at all; along with tasteless home fries. Both greasy. High prices for mediocre to bad food. Pancake prices high and EXTRA for real maple syrup! Attentive and friendly service. I will not be back. read more

It's Our Town! One of Malverne's town jewels and for a reason. Went back for the first time in ages today and the hostess couldn't have been nicer! Pricing is more than fair, especially compared with other local diners where the staff isn't nearly as kind, helpful, or patient. It was my husband's first time eating here and he has celiac disease- we were thrilled by the fact they had gf bread, bagels, and English muffins!! So lucky to live in a town where we have a place like this read more

First time here. I came at busy lunch time. The staff was very friendly with smiles including the cook smiling at me. They seated me immediately. I was in the mood for a fried egg sandwich with bacon. The menu is extensive offering many lunch and breakfast items all day long. They close at lunch time on weekdays at least but are open later Friday, Sat. and Sun. I would like to come back soon to order lunch. $15.20 for the fried two egg sandwich with bacon and a cappuccino plus tax. read more

Starting with the ambiance-- this restaurant is a throw back to the good old days in the best way possible. It is adorably decorated with pink and green wallpaper and kitschy framed signs and posters. The service feels like home. Janet is warm and welcoming. Richard was excellent-- so kind and attentive. The food was great. They have onion rye bread that's delicious, the corned beef hash tasted homemade, and the home fries were excellent. The standout dish were the pancakes which were some of the best around! We only wish we had a place like this closer to home. Malverne is lucky to have this great spot! read more

wait to be seated, just for someone to walk in after and get seated first. Totally ignored by staff and after i helped myself to a seat i was questioned by a server as if i was doing something wrong and in all honesty felt disrespected. Ended up leaving. read more

Sooooo unbelievable service! My husband and I were looking for a place that was new for us for Sunday breakfast, and just wow. I am gluten free and the chef/cook came out to talk to me about my options was so sweet. The server Keith was great too! The whole place felt like home, everyone in there even the customers said goodbye as we left. Totally coming back!!! read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch There are outside tables which is lovely in the nice weather read more

The food is always fresh. Jerry is a master at quality and speed. You can expect a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Don't be surprised if you get a riddle or joke from Keith, a member of the wait staff. Egg creams are almost as good as Brooklyn read more

If i can put 0 stars i would , i was in town for a Christmas tree lighting with my little family 2 kids and my husband . We stopped here for a quick bite and thought it would be great but when we were publicly embarrassed infront of everyone in the restaurant and two children i felt it was very rude , disrespectful, and distasteful , we put our card on the table to pay and what we felt was a reasonable tip as we are not a rich family and didn't make a fuss about things with our food that was wrong but then again did want to show gratitude . When the server took it and came back and loudly held up the tip and the card and said I'm confused what is this and when we replied it's the tip and payment she i guess told the owner and he came back and said so you guys are tipping this amount on a $114 dollar bill and we responded we thought that was good enough but if not we can put more on the card but in reality we were already embarrassed, annoyed and angry that he felt the tip was mandated , what it was , is they knew we weren't from there and thought they can take advantage because i believe they over charged for the bill anyways . The food was good but not above average , eggs were watery and i asked for a well done and got a medium rare and i am pregnant . Also we got up to leave and we're going to pay the extra for the tip because we got harassed for it and still the owner watched as we got ready to go and ran behind us to make sure we were paying at the register in front the extra on the tip . Tipping isn't mandated and to do that to a family with children and a pregnant mother and publicly embarrass or think you had the right to say those things is disgusting and i hope that this gets to their knowledge and that they stop doing that to people because I've seen another similar review . It's sad that they judged us from walking in aka we are Spanish and it was a YT. Community . I doubt they asked the teenagers there to tip more than what they were going to tip because they know they can't get over on the town locals . RUDE , RACIST, DISGUSTING , DISTASTEFUL, DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY read more

Great little local spot with consistent food and great prices! Always go here for friend brunches. No complaints, and they offer gluten free options which is rare in this area. Would definitely recommend for a casual diner experience with throwback aesthetic. read more

You must go in for the impeccable service! Always busy, but served with a smile! They do not hurry you out. They say, thank you for your patience, thank you for waiting. I had the California Grilled Cheese - huge! on fresh, Challah bread. I won't have the sweet potato fries, blah..the frozen kind. Awesome coffee! The homemade almond cake w/lemon is so fresh and light! Homemade brownie - fudgy, moist! I wanted to try the homemade bread pudding, but they ran out. The spinach pie is so flaky! (my mom is very critical, she loved it!) You must have the chocolate eggcream! They make it the right way, with Bosco syrup and seltzer, and stir! I tried the muffins - so, so..a little greasy. Decor is cute, retro - booths, stools at the counter, you can also sit outside. About 8 booths, about 6 tables, about 4 tables outside. If you go during height of lunch hour, expect to wait 20min. for your food, but worth it! You can order lunch & breakfast all day. You must have all members of your group when you get a table, they can't hold up a table while waiting for another person to show up. They also do not take reservations. Prices reasonable, cash only. read more

Malverne feels and looks like that small all american town. What would it be without a mom and pop luncheonette. From breakfast, to lunch, to the milkshakes and pie. Everything is prepared for you with love, a friendly smile, and bacon. If you drive past and don't stop in you're missing out. When you go, give the fry cook a wave and tell him Danny sent you. read more

Amazing local breakfast and brunch spot. We love the vibe and service here. Breakfast specials definitely fill you up and the waitstaff is always there to fill your coffee cup. Best deal around read more

It took forever to get 2 cups of coffee. Then when we ordered it took 45 minutes and when I asked where our food was the response was we're sorry we had a table of 11. I said to cancel the order if it wasn't made and I was told it wasn't made or even beginning to be made so we left. And then to add insult to injury, I was charged for 2 cups of coffee. read more

I love this dinner. The staff is very friendly. This dinner is loved by the community. The food is always fresh and delicious. The only downside is that there is no place to wait for a table if they are packed. read more

I will never support this business again. As someone in the restaurant industry I can't even believe what I just experienced. I ordered my 2 year chicken nuggets and sweet potato French fries. It was literally repulsive looking. Everything was burnt and stuck to eachother like a big blob. My daughter didn't even want to touch it cause it didn't look appetizing and honestly I would never think that is acceptable to send to a table for a person to eat. I kindly asked to send it back and they still charged me for it because supposedly the boss stated to our waitress "my daughter touched it" also he told the waitress he explained that to us which was a lie. Side note: we touched it to show how everything on the plate was fried together like glue. (If we didn't touch it; we're you going to serve it to someone else?) The hostess and waitress told me if I wanted to talk to the chef/boss I could. But out of respect because they were busy I paid the bill and walked out. I wish I had a picture to show how disgusting this food looked. Lack of customer service Food was uneatable Disrespectful charge to a customer read more

Good breakfast food, lunch isn't as great in my opinion but cute little diner. Retro atmosphere and the staff is quite friendly.

Love love love Our Town. This has to be the best diner I have ever ate at!!!!! You would totally pass it by on the street if you didn't know what you were really looking for. When you walk in-it looks like a total 50's-60's look so cute and fabulous. Just wait for the host to be seated. Now on to the food: I've been here a good few times and never a disappointment, left always completely satisfied. Chocolate chip pancakes are to die for. The service and the food are exceptional along with there food. Can't wait to come back here again whenever I maybe in the neighborhood. read more

This place is ok some days, great on others. Bottom line is if its not that busy, you will get a very good meal, if it is a saturday or sunday for breakfast or early lunch, buyer beware thats really all I can say. Its not a place you would go out of your way to go too, but it is quaint and I do like the food and atmosphere. I've been there and walked out talking to myself about how good my meal was, how perfect it was cooked, etc...then other times asking myself what happened! Cash only too, fyi. I'll give it three stars because the food is very good when there is not too much demand and if I could weigh different periods, it would be a 3.5 when its hot, and 2.5 when its not. read more

this was my first time here and I definitely will be back. I was skeptical at first when I saw plastic chairs and tables out in the front but the interior design of the place is very cute. Very retro and 1950s. The man who greeted us was very friendly and told us to make ourselves at home which was nice. I ordered the California omelette and it came with home fries, toast and juice. The omelette was so good! I usually don't like omelettes but I decided to get one and I wasn't disappointed. I also love how they butter your toast for you (I'm weird and lazy I know). All in all a really lovely quaint place that I will be back to try more food! read more
