Our neighborhood diner is within walking distance, but we have noticed big changes in their food preparation, etc. So we had no choice, but to look elsewhere. So once more,Yelp to the rescue and we ended up here. The decor is typically what you expect from a diner. Our waitress was very nice, but she lacked a little in the attention dept. A good burger and a good tasting gravy for my fries is what I always look for in a great diner and Terrace Diner did not disappoint! My hubby also enjoyed their coffee which for him it's a very good plus. We'll come again and try their breakfast menu. Then, we'll see if we have found our new go to diner!. I'll keep my fingers crossed! read more

The food was absolutely terrible is was like eatting rub chicken would not come here again and the staff was pretty much invisible

Great burgers and they're huge! Yummy fries and I really enjoyed the coleslaw too which is always a plus at a diner

I had the prime rib it was marinated and so good. The cheese cake was delicious. Our waiter Teddy was very personable & friendly. Great service read more

Hadn't been there in 4 or 5 years after a bout of poor service. Was sat quickly but after waiting and being pretty much ignored for 7 minutes we left. Wasn't busy either. 30% full at best and there was at least 3 waiters/waitresses. read more

Wow they upgraded their quality, everything I had for breakfast was super tasty, I would recommend you try them again

Ah, I'm not going to trash a hard working Greek family diner. This place has been here forever and there is a nice picture of a Greek Man at the register. Black duct tape covers some rips on the bench seats. It's an old tried and true neighborhood diner. To the far right is the counter where I can have a cup of coffee and a piece of coconut pie when I get a hankering. Our waitress, she's probably been working there forever. She kept on walking over to me, touching my arm saying finish your waffle, its getting cold! It was in a nice way, its a neighborhood diner. Hankering: 1595-1605; early Dutch dialect hankeren (cognate with Dutch hunkeren), frequentative of hangen to hang. This diner defines hankering. If you live in the neighborhood, its a nice hometown Long Island Diner to get breakfast or coffee at the counter read more

Haven't been here in awhile, but my girlfriend wanted diner for dinner. She wanted to go to her usual diner for her favorite entree with onion rings. Unfortunately her favorite diner didn't have the wrap I wanted. And I knew Terrace Diner did. After a brief encouraging her and ensuring her she wouldn't be disappointed we went. Well as expected my wrap was delicious. And let's say she loved her dinner and the onion rings. I may have just converted her. read more

Food is good. I have never ordered anything i didn't like. They lose 2 stars though for the girl at the counter. I placed a take out order and i go to pay with my card. She runs the card and then has the audacity to ask if i want her "to put a tip on it for the takeout girl". I'm sorry, but I've been a waitress, a bartender, and worked in catering. I have never asked someone to give me a tip. It's tacky and makes things awkward. As I'm waiting for my food, three other people pick up their food after me and paid with a card and she did the same thing to them! Everyone said "no". My suggestion, if you don't want an uncomfortable moment, pay cash. read more

Ah - I just love a steaming cup of coffee when my ass hits the seat. To me, this is what a diner should deliver and Terrace did not disappoint! Nicely decorated and clean, this diner is excellent. It appears to be a Greek family run place and the service is fabulous. Our waitress was johnny-on-the-spot with the coffee and the our breakfast order was delivered super quick. She checked on us a few times and was just the cheeriest person - it really is nice to see someone who is ok with their job instead of the usual gruff "want some coffee??" that you seem to get everywhere else. Prices seemed cheaper than the competition - I will definitely be going back to try the burgers etc. read more

I always have loved the food and owner. However, recently have been very unhappy with management and new staff. This is a time where small businesses need support. I've been a regular and recently the staff started charging for extra sauces on my orders which I find disgraceful when I come so much to support and give them my money. The little microscopic sizes for dressings aren't enough to cover my food. I could see charging me if I didn't use them or took them home untouched. Meanwhile someone else could come in there and have unlimited coffee refills with as many creamers and milk needed which IS A COST FACTOR TOO. My advice is, think who is supporting you and you want to keep coming. My meals cost way more than coffee and its bad enough you took the lunch specials off. Think I may have to start supporting other places that do treat me better if this doesn't improve or stop. I did want to help you... read more

Terrace Diner - The small sized sauce portions - Diners Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Food is okay. A few years ago I had a horrific experience with tons of hair found in my wrap. It took me years to get myself to go back there but my fiancé likes it so I have to suck it up. Recently we ordered to go (since no one can be inside a restaurant for more than 3 minutes these days #rona). We ordered over the phone. Drove in our car to pick up our food. Walked inside with our masks And paid for our food- Can someone tell me why or even how the cashier has the audacity to say "and would you like to put a tip on the card?" I'm just confused- what did you do to earn a tip exactly? When I go pick up Taco Bell- it's pretty much the same process- Panera, etc. i hate places that make it awkward and uncomfortable by asking about a tip- My real response should have been, "for what?" read more

I would give the diner an overall 4 but it does break down!! 5 for customer service is a definitely. I've ordered to pick up food a bunch of times. At times it's at odd hours also or near closing when we want food but get lazy! At times they have forgotten or didn't do something as asked but they always make it up for you. My big thing is im allergic to red onion so when I order things I make lots of changes. When I order salads I basically take one of there's but make it my own. They are usually perfect and only once I got the onion but I just took it off. The baked clams are delicious! I totally recommend that! The hot open turkey sandwich is another winner. It's real turkey! Not too dry and usually comes with stuffing which is like having thanksgiving any night. For me I get my salads and add the turkey! I've definitely ordered more times than I've check in because I was soooo occupied with eating - then left in a food coma :) hehe They have great options and the portions are great as well. To get fresh food late night is always hard to find unless it's in my kitchen! read more

This is not what cordon blue looks like .. it usually has white sauce and mushrooms .. this yellow sauce I'm not sure if it's American cheese or what type of sauce but it tastes like eggs .. I usually taste the mozzarella cheese but I don't think there's a gram of it on this one... subpar k read more

Terrace Diner - Diners Near Me - West Babylon, New York

I can't believe that I am giving you guys another bad review. I had a BAD experience with a waiter there a few years ago and vowed never to return. However I wanted to support the local merchants, and we decided to give it another try. Two adults, the bill was over 60 dollars, and we DIDNT get two lavish meals, we got sandwiches! Here is the issue, my meal came with fries, I asked for a baked potato, which should be a substitute, it wasn't...... FOUR DOLLARS for a baked potato?? I asked for brown gravy on the side, a dollar, my wife asked for extra ranch dressings, and extra three dollars, we ordered two cups of tea....3.50 each?? I could buy a BAG of potatoes, and a box of tea for less than 3 dollars. SO you guys while you suffered during covid, pay back your customers by bending them over and emptying their wallets. I'm sorry, but this was wrong, a chicken salad wrap and a turkey club with two cups of tea shouldn't be 60 dollars, we were shocked at the prices, we paid and waved goodbye to the staff, because we wont be returning. read more

Food was ok. A little pricey for a diner. The service was a little slow and off. It wasn't the best place but it wasn't the worst either.

In all my years of eating at diners, pickles and coleslaw are complimentary. Not at this place. Too many options, never again. read more

The food is always good but my experience was great the other day I had a dark haired waitress I think Kathy not sure how spell it, was in the am no mistakes and friendly, in addition she made sure my salad was prepared really nice, presentation was great...she made the chef mix it so it was cool looking....service counts....it was the little things that made my experience better...Thanks read more

The food is good but the service not so much. The first time I ate at this establishment I had to practically beg for a table and my waiter did not check on me for anything. So I thought I would give another chance as some people can have an off day. When I walked in everyone just stood and looked at me no Hi how are you, I felt as i had bothered them. I asked if I could have a table and was seated. The waiter asked me what I wanted and before I could even finish he walked away so I didn't order anything else. I was hoping to add a shake to my order but that didn't happen. This Diner has good food with a nice presentation but its wait staff acts like they're in mourning or something. Not the friendliest bunch. read more

This place truly has it all. Any American dish you can think of, they have it. It is so good too. I had the BBQ Bacon Burger and it was one of the best BBQ Bacon Burgers I have had in a long time. Highly reccommend if you like BBQ and bacon... on a burger. read more

Terrace Diner - BBQ Bacon Burger - Diners Near Me - West Babylon, New York

I really like the food here, wide variety. The bacon is always cooked great. The Ranch Chicken sandwich is pretty good, the seafood dishes are great, and the food portions are generous and enough to fill me up and have extra food left, not like other restaurants that give you small portions. The sweet fried potatoes are good. Customer service is great. read more

Terrace Diner fails at some very basic diner staples. -Really bad Iced Tea -Soggy fries -Gross matzoh balls soup. -Grilled cheese is average. -Wraps are poorly made -Salads are below average These are what I come to a diner for and they have consistently failed me here. The only good things are the egg sammies and the friendly waitresses. If you have the time I would eat elsewhere. read more

Food and service was good...but a$1.00 upcharge for a sweet potato instead of a baked potato? Been to every diner in Suffolk County and never saw this before. (Sweet potatoes are .49 lb at the supermarkets). C'mon guys-get rid of this ridiculous charge. read more

Update: Actually probably won't be going back here. The food is good but my daughter got an inedible burger and asked for something else instead. Unlike every other restaurant universally, they didn't remove the uneaten food and charged us for the replacement. It's not the first time the staff has been churlish, but the waiter interrogated my daughter and made her cry at the table. And still didn't replace it. In other places I haven't had to send things back much, but usually it's not such an adversarial experience. It kind of makes me wonder what answer was worth making a kid cry for, especially without an adjustment. What answer could a grade schooler have given to satisfy an adult server? It was just a total awful experience, enough to not go back ever again and before we went once a week. Time to find a new diner :( read more

I live in Los Angeles and frequently visit the West Babylon Terrace Diner when I am on Long Island. My visits stop today after I bit into the burger ordered and almost lost I tooth. Deep within the burger meet was a metal staple mixed within. I am disgusted and grossed out. I am never coming back. read more

Terrace Diner - Extremely disgusted with the burger I ordered. I almost broke my teeth when i bit a staple hidden in the burger. - Diners Near Me - West Babylon, New York

This is my go to burger place. They are always usually good. This joints burgers to me are the best around. Always juicy and made to order. There seeded roles are fantastic. The cheese is perfectly melted on the bread and the Bacon is crispy and fresh just the right amount of Grease to bread saturation. Sadly when I went this past time the burger tasted a little ripe . All and all still a great spot. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. You work next to a tattoo shop yet you decide to be horribly rude to tattooed customers??? Thats horribly discriminatory, disgusting, and doesnt show well for your establishment. It was specially to the tattooed customer because the one in front got all smiles and kindness. God awful service will not come back and making sure no one I know will ether. read more

This is the closest diner to my home and it used to be good, but the past 2 years, it's really gone downhill. Yes the decor is nice and the servers are friendly but the portions have been reduced to a laughable size and the quality of the food has really decreased. They are serving food you can buy at Costco at premium prices. I'm going to give you a recap of the last few times I ordered from there. I decided this place really isn't worth it anymore and now drive out of my way to a diner on Deer Park Avenue that does make some decent food. I ordered french fries with mozzerella and gravy, a typical Long Island late night munchies dish and the gravy was canned gravy, you can tell. Years ago it used to be home made. Seriously? Canned gravy? I can make that at home. If you order a chicken francaise, it will come with red peppers. Really? This is one of my favorite meals and in my entire 39 years I have never had this dish served with red pepper except here. Gross. Rib Eye steak is loaded with oregano - nasty. BBQ rib special was clearly microwaved and tasted like rubber. I do enjoy their french dip, but it is no longer served on a hero, but on a bun. Price is still the same though for a much smaller portion. If you complain about the food, you will get an oh really? Everyone else likes it. I've been coming here for over 15 years I expect more than that. The owner has run for the West Babylon school board of education. He should really focus more on his restaurant, bring back quality food and normal portions, keeping long time customers happy instead of politics. read more

So we were on our way from S. Jersey to New York to get Camaro car carpet (thanks for screwing over my beau moron!) and my baby parrotlet (thanks for real Frank - LOOOVE him!) and stumbled upon Terrace by accident. And WHAT a great accident! The onion rings were big but not too hard like they usually are that size, a good plain salad and tremendously delish sauce for the pasta. It was absolutely yummy and I couldn't stop saying so w/ almost every darn bite! The eggplant parm was pretty good but thin and a bit too oily. Our waitress was super nice and checked on us about 3 times. The Terrace was very clean and I liked the decor as well. I doubt we'll be in the area again but so would go!!!!!! read more

We live very local and dine at this establishment quite often. I've had quite a few of their dishes on their lunch/dinner menu and I was not ONCE like "WOW, this is delicious." It's usually a hit or miss. When we are in the mood for breakfast and don't feel like driving more than 3 miles for it, we come here. It's kind of hard to mess up on a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, sausage and toast (although this place has done it a couple of times; either burnt the waffle or under-cooked the sausage). read more

Absolutely fantastic service. Great wait staff and excellent food. Loved the coffee. I've been there several times, and always loved the service. I love the theme, which is 1950's style diner. I've never had a problem with service or the food. There's a ramp right next to the stairs if you require it (I do at the moment). Staff is friendly and I go here at least once a month. read more

Terrace Diner - Cappuccino! - Diners Near Me - West Babylon, New York

I'm giving only 2 stars because the food was good. Taking 3 stars away for the service. I've been there maybe 6 or 7 times and I haven't had a competent or friendly waitress yet. They drop the food off to you and don't see them again until we ask for the check. Forget about getting refills of coffee. Go to the Atlantis Diner instead. read more

I come here with my husband a lot, sometimes his brother comes with us or his mom. Every time I've come here I've been pretty pleased with the food they served. The wait for your food is never long, and usually you can get a table pretty quickly too. I've had cheese quesidillas, french fries, french onion soup, onion rings, paninis everything has been great. Last night I got the spinach pie platter with a greek salad. The salad was fresh, the vinagrette dressing was good. The spinach pie and yogurt sauce were good but slightly soggy I still liked it though. The rice served with it was a great rice consistency soft and yummy. The portions here are pretty big I couldn't eat the whole platter I wrapped half of it up to take home. The coffee is your average diner coffee which I tend to like even though I'm self proclaimed coffee snob. The only thing that alarmed me was that my husband said the bread was stale when they brought us the bread basket. We did walk in at 9 PM, so it could be possible the bread was made in the morning so it wasn't the freshest. I've been trying to watch my food intake so I wouldn't eat the bread when he said it was stale, I am on a kick where I refuse to waste caloric intake on something terrible if I don't like it I'm not eating it. read more

I'm not quite sure how to review this place. My wife and I came here recently for dinner, and while it was an overall good experience, I can't help the lingering feeling that this place only deserves three stars. You know what? My wife summed it up in 4 words: Pickle Relish in Gravy. I ordered meatloaf as my dinner, which is usually a pretty good diner staple. It was good, but VERY strange. The gravy had pickle relish in it! Very odd. Was it good? I think so, but im not sure! It's just not at all what i was expecting. My wife's dinner was a hot open turkey, which by all accounts was delicious. So no problems there, and the soups were good as well though nothing mindblowing. The vibe of the place is awesome too, it really feels like one of those old boxcar diners plopped into the middle of long island. The waitress was the classic older blonde lady with tons of makeup, who was extremely friendly. And the place seemed to be filled up with regulars who all knew each other. There was a lot of inter-table communication going on, which is kind of a rare thing to see these days. Really nice. So I don't know. On one hand the food ranges from standard diner fare to odd things like pickle relish in gravy. But the vibe of the place is great, and it seems like a nice place to meet up with friends. I have a feeling this is a great breakfast diner. Sooo. For now? Three stars, but I think I'll have to try it again soon. read more

Pretty par for the course, some things are better then others. I had the Athena Wrap which is eggs, gyro, and some other stuff, and it was real good, fries were pretty good. We also had a french dip at our table that was pretty good as well. read more

Took 20 minutes to get drinks, an addition 20 minutes to get water, watched our waiter provide everyone else's food and drinks before we even got our drinks. Horrible service from a "waitress" in the rear left area (facing entrance door), literally watched and heard a bus boy give better service and show more interest in the customer than this waitress. Food was okay, a little soggy due to food being suffocated in sauces. Overall the place is mediocre, would only go here after a drunk night out with the boys. read more
