Lets just say this. I come here with my friends and family alll the time! I bring my kids here atleast twice a month, my friends all the time or a late dinner with my family! Oh, stop! Sometimes its nice to have someone else prepare the food and do the dishes;) I will start by saying that i absolutely love the staff very attentive, my cup is always full, we always have extra napkins, sauces etc. The food is great, if there's an error in order they quickly fix it no complaints. Generous food portions for price. We love the breakfast menu quite a few options for omelete, my favorite is the western omelete because whats and omelette without green peppers, onions and ham?? the fresh toast portion can feed two! crazy huge and so good one of our favorites.. sometimes a lil heavy on the cinnamon though. Pancakes are always perfect we do prefer the silver dollar as we do bring little hands and mouths here! This is the place you go to with intentions of getting a salad... (by the way try the greek! Its my fave! )then you get a whiff of everything delicious and end up pigging out with a burger or a wrap or a panini! Soups are good my friebd favors the motzaball, me the lobster bisque.. okay i will say here its not the best in town but i just favor the creamy soups;) Huge menu! Doesnt help an indecisive person as myself.. but.. ;) Clean bathroom ( this is a plus + especially with my kids) quick service, friendly staff, fair prices! My kids love it here!! Kids menu includes desert and the server always aim to please whether its and extra scoop of ice cream, more sprinkles.. you get it! occasionally we bring playing cards or uno!! Always fun! Oh yes lots of pastries!!! Yummy mimosas, lots of parking! read more

This diner is the best ! I've been coming here for many many years! The service is great the food delicious and the menu & specials (even the Italian dishes ) are amazing I also want to mention their homemade fresh desserts read more

Been coming here since my cousin put me on to this spot in college. Never been disappointed. Service is quick the place is clean, seating is always available what more can you ask for ? I ordered the shrimp salad wrap with sweet potato fries it's very filling but I'll say the serving is for 1 but definitely can be shared if your not a big eater. The food tasted amazing it was a nice combination of sweet crunch and salty all at once! Mouth watering to say the least lol Contents inside the bag included: plastic fork & knife, ketchup, napkins, salt & pepper, a pickle & slaw. Highly recommend! read more

I found a hair in the middle of my salad. Before this I used to be happy with their food but now I'm totally disgusted.

Visited as a party of 8, everyone was pleased with their dishes. But me. I ordered chicken & waffles (what I felt like having), however, I should have known better. As it arrived, appearance was nice, smelled delicious but when I cut into the chicken breast, it was ice-cold! It appeared the chicken had been previously cooked and frozen for preservation but it was too cold to eat. Staff here was extremely friendly and funny, and offered to replace the dish but I declined as the rest of my party would have been finished dining. I may visit again. read more

Staff was great and super friendly.... even when we were a little tipsy for late night French fries and cheese they treated us really well. Nice decor. Food was cooked to perfection. The cheese fries that I requested well done were done perfectly. The brown gravy was EXCELLENT! Honey mustard wasn't great and eggs were okay at best. Grilled cheese was very good with LOTS of cheese in it, not one of those thin grilled cheese sandwiches. Nicely done. I would go back and by the way ask for Evan as your waiter. He was funny and attentive. read more

I love diners. Option, upon option. And this Diner does not disappoint. Parking can be tough since it gets so crowded.

4 stars because they don't have paper takeout menus or deliver (unless you use shipt or ubereats which are rip offs) and their prices have gone really high. Otherwise they have an amazing menu that has everything from old fashioned cinnamon toast and liver with onions to full course meals and they make their own combinations of burgers, sandwiches etc that you won't find other places. Most dishes are very good and fairly generous portions but the prices are more like you would expect in a fancy restaurant and not a "cheap, local" diner. They are always busy anyway so the food is fresh. I guess their biggest competition is Floral Park Diner which does deliver themselves and you can just order online so we wind up getting more meals there when we are super lazy and don't want to drive to pickup at Stop 20. read more

I'm laughing at the review with "excellent service". This restaurant (diner) holds the award for the worse service ANYWHERE. Seven of us ordered, three dishes didn't come (we waited over 20 minutes), and asked twice. If not for the fact we were in a group, I wouldn't have eaten if my wife wasn't served and after 10 minutes, it's goodbye. Plus she ordered potato skins, now how hard is that? Plus she said they were awful too. Finally after serving us, they never returned to check on us. I am so angry at myself for leaving any tip. This place is a disaster. No way it can have a 4 star average review, I'm sorry. If you look at my reviews, I am very fair , and appreciate 5 or 4 star restaurants. This place has NO Service. Reading some reviews is entertaining, "a haven for weary travelers". You bet it is, you could fall asleep waiting to get your meal. A booth (if they provided a pillow) you would be all set. Avoid. read more

Awesome place large selection and variety of things to choose from, open real late even on a Sunday night, excellent choice especially that it's near Kennedy Airport read more

Ordered from here and while the food was admittedly good... I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I'd like, because who puts cheese eggs right on top of banana pancakes in the same container so the cheese melts them together and you're forced to eat savory and sweet at the same time?? Every restaurant I've ever ordered from before in my life knows to separate these things. Seems like common sense if you own a mouth?? read more

Bottom line: Great food, value and wonderfully friendly service! Steve and his staff at Stop 20 were responsible for a successful brunch gathering for 20 of my family members. No one complained about anything...just the opposite...they raved about the food and service. I cannot recall the last time my family agreed on anything! If you are looking for an authentic family-run Greek diner, Stop 20 it is! Mark S read more

Best diner ever! We have been coming for 2 years. The service is amazing, and the staff is beyond generous and so welcoming & nice to their customers. The food is so good and they are very fast. Definitely recommend! read more

This diner is one of my favorites. it's very beautifully decorated on the inside and during the holiday season, they have paintings on their windows with candy canes and other adorable stuff. I've been here three times, and the food is quite delicious. I've had the belgian waffle, eggs florentine (VERY GOOD), chili and turkey sandwich. I've also had the cheese danish, which was 2.25 and also bigger than my head - a great deal. I definitely recommend eggs florentine which is a version of eggs benedict with spinach added, the hollandaise sauce was A+. If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast, definitely make a stop here! They have peanut butter and banana brioche french toast, a variety of pancakes, and belgian waffles... not to mention, the place is full of beautiful displays of pastries that will make you salivate. I will try a dessert there one of these days. It's a great local diner, with very nice servers, though the one time I went with my other female friend, the waiter was joking around with us in a very strange manner that made the both of us uncomfortable. That was during noon however, and I haven't gotten that waiter since and I still think it's definitely worth the trip. The pricing is average diner prices, a big bowl of chili for 5 bucks keeps luring me in. Make a stop here, for a special diner experience. read more

Stop 20 Diner - Diners Near Me - Elmont, New York

So let me ask you a hypothetical question. If you go into a NYC diner, out of the hundreds of items you'll find on a menu, what is the single dish you'd be MOST SHOCKED to find that they cannot effectively execute? Would you believe the common bagel? Sadly, that was what our party experienced yesterday. Twelve of us walked into a packed house yesterday, and thankfully we had reservations because Stop 20 was jammed to the rafters. We all ordered a variety of dishes- salads, eggs, sandwiches etc. Eight of the dishes came out in a reasonable time, but four didn't. What did the four have in common? They were all bagel dishes. Three were bagels and smoked salmon, and the fourth was a bagel ordered as an alternative to toast with an egg dish. After a very long time, the bagels rolled out. Now, we've all been to diners a zillion times, and we've all seen those big paper bags of bagels from the local bagel shop. Some of these are as big as a saucer. But not these. They were suspiciously small, about the same size as you'd find in a supermarket freezer. I sat at the end of our table where three people had the bagels. Every one of them said they weren't right- they were very hard and difficult to chew. I asked for a piece to sample,. and I agreed. My guess is this -- did you ever over-microwave something and it comes out with a hardening loss of original texture? Bingo. I'm guessing they had no bagels on hand (for whatever reason), and reached into the freezer and rush microwaved them. The smoked salmon didn't save the plates either, it was the ribbon-like stringy and veiny strips you see on low-end pre-packaged supermarket stuff. We sure expected better quality, At least my Cobb Salad (14.95) was very good, but it was very disappointing to see a third of our table get served awful plates. I felt bad for our server. The restaurant was so crowded and the aisles between tables were so puny, he couldn't even get to everyone at our table. Instead, he had to pass our plates down the table bucket brigade style. But the guy was resourceful! Our table-top leaned back and forth like a drunken rummy, and when we asked about it, he turned the table upside down, whipped out a gargantuan wrench, and tightened that sucker up. That was awesome ! read more

I seen some good reviews from my local Yelpers and decided to try this diner out. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted with a smile from the host. It wasn't crowded around 10am. I was surprised. I was expecting to see more people on a beautiful Sunday morning. They have a private parking lot, so it shouldn't be hard to find parking. The diner is very clean. The booths are big and spacious. That is a plus, because you get a lot of food with your meals. The diner has a few TV's broadcasting the news which is nice. Our waiter came over and took our orders very fast. I got a large orange juice; it tasted good. It comes with pulp. For breakfast I got toast, home fries, with a California Omelette which you can find under "Specialty Omelettes". The omelette was AMAZE-BALLS. It has avocado, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. The combination sounds out of this world, but it tasted so delightful. I was full ! I couldn't even finish my toast. The home fries were just okay. Overall, I would definitely return. the service was on point, the food was even better. Its affordable too. read more

Stop 20 Diner - California Omelette with home fries and toast - Diners Near Me - Elmont, New York

I'm a little disappointed, Ive never set foot inside a diner that was bad. I came here for lunch with a co worker. I have to say the service was fantastic. The waiter and waitress always checked on us for refills. I ordered the new England clam chowder and got a uncooked cup of soup. The potatoes were raw and the cream tasted like uncooked flour. I then ordered chicken salad sandwich. The sandwich was that bad, decent at most. The pickle had a funny taste and the coleslaw was very watery. The only thing that helped this place was the apple turnover, That was extremely delicious. On top of the food, the cups are gross. I think its time to change your plastic cups for new ones. I'm sure they're washed everyday, but they look like hell. I thought I was going to catch a cold looking at the cup. I didn't drink the water and had ice tea Thur a straw. Another thing that really upset me. Your charging me $9 dollar for a sandwich, and want $4.00 additional for fries. I understand a lunch special will get me dessert, but I rather get the fries and skip the dessert. I found it odd that fries didn't come with the sandwich. Most diners you get all the extras I mention additional to the fries. This is my opinion, and I'm entitled to it, since this place has 4 stars, some people might take offense to what I wrote. I'm not interested in getting your feedback. So please keep it to yourself. read more

This place has been around forever and has always been a staple in the neighborhood. They have a great selection and the food is always good as well as the service. The previous manager was not very nice however the new manager Manny is awesome! read more

Average Diner. Stop 20 - took me a long time to figure out what the name meant (an old trolley stop according to a friend) In any case, the diner is nice and all but the food is basic - nothing overly good nor bad- just decent. Smallish parking area. read more

It's very clean. My home fries were not greasy or burned like I've had in other diners. Spinach and feta omelette was cooked to perfection. I would come back again for dinner. read more

My BF recommended coming here this morning, he said it was he best in our area. Walking in I instantly noticed how clean and updated the diner is. The gentleman at the door greeted us and immediately sat us. (Normally they just yell "TWO?" In your face. Hah.) The breakfast menu is two pages with the combos on the first page. That made it easy to order. I ordered a cappuccino because another yelper had posted a photo of it and it looked delicious. It was very rich! The sausages are long links and the bacon is crispy not fatty. The hash portion took up half the plate and the toast was buttered perfectly! We will be back for sure! (I took a trip to the bathroom and they were super clean!) read more

Stop 20 Diner - Cheese quesadillas :) - Diners Near Me - Elmont, New York

Was excited to try this place but found the food quality disappointing. Omelettes were mediocre and home fries underdone and chincy at that. We thought the fries were kinda gross - tasted bad and soggy wet with grease and condensation. Veggie burger was okay but overall we just didn't like the food enough to order from here again. read more

Ate here on New Year's Day in a packed diner. It was very busy, but they were organized and the food was on point. Good: -vegetable omelette -Italian omelette -Cornbeef Hash side -Strawberry milkshake -Belgian waffle (soft, flaky and tasty) -Waiter was fast and efficient -It's a diner, but has a big menu, a lot to choose from Bad: Parking lot is tight, there's a municipal lot behind it read more

Great dinner. The food is awesome and you will not walk out of there hungry. The owners are nice as well along with the staff. Great place

On a cheat day I came here with my friend to grab some grub. We ordered two chocolate milkshakes and I ordered a chicken quesadilla. The staff was very nice and attentive. They are open late which come in handy with late night cravings. The food was very tasty and the parking lot was huge! I highly recommend this dinner for grub with some friends. Also, the prices were decent! Come support this local diner! read more

I placed and order to go and the owner repeated it to me ,I get home and my waffle fries aren't in the bag. So i call back and he says " yes i heard you say waffle fries but I didn't charge you " ... now come on does that make any sense . I also did the math on it and i did get charged for it and he was arguing with about it rather then just apologizing . The employees in there suck , attitudes are DISGUSTING. The food isn't even all that. I do NOT recommend. read more

Wow; if customer service was a diner it would be this place ! I'm truly in awe at how they treat people here. The person who I guess was the manager greeted me and walked me to my seat quickly. The waitress was just as pleasant. I placed my order and ordered a minosa; within a few minutes my entree was ready. I went with the waitress recommendation on the super French toast and it was very filling. At first I was very skeptical of all the high ratings of this diner but now that I went I can see why; they get an A++ in customer service and the menu options are quite extensive. I would definitely come back ! read more

This place is really a hit or miss most times. The waffles are always pretty good. You can always get any fruit or vegetable you want as a side. Depending on the day and the server, your food can come in minutes or in an hour. The staff is usually extremely extremely friendly which is always an amazing feeling. The prices aren't crazy and it's located near a major library which is a plus for me. You can go for breakfast, lunch or dinner and they have menus for all types of meals. read more
