Service- Monique our server was Great! Food- we went for breakfast after avoiding this place for 30 years. Pleasantly surprised. Good coffee, eggs cooked perfectly (over medium), hubs requested potatoes to be a little crispy (and they were). Breakfast specials priced right. We will be back read more

Was in area for NYSMMA at William Floyd High School. Feeling under the weather, I just wanted some chicken soup to take home. Stopped at diner to grab some to go. This tiny container of chicken noodle soup was almost $7! I asked the girl if made a mistake, and said no that's the price. I said that's ridiculously expensive for a small container of chicken noodle. Not the best area, in a strip mall on William Floyd Parkway. You got serious nerve charging that kind of money for chicken soup. I hope it's delicious, but it's still not worth $7. Maybe that's why the place is so empty. I wasn't staying to check over the rest of the menu pricing. Sorry, I won't be back. Wish I would have read reviews first, because the pricing and the service fee I didn't even know I was charged until now really has frosted my cookies! read more

Food is good, service is friendly and perfect, the ambience is circa 1980. Give it a try. Great burgers, breakfast, snacks.

Hi Yelpers and local friends. Welcome to the William Floyd Diner in Shirley, Long Island. Just a couple of miles from Smith's Point Beach and right off the William Floyd Highway. We just love this little local Diner. I've been coming here for over 20 years. Don't understand at all the other low reviews. I hope this review can do justice to the wonderful Vibes and food this this little Diner serves up. A real flavor of America, with home made country style meals and real folks with real conversation. Come on in and relax with their comfy tables and booths. Pull on up to the counter with the locals. Have a cup of coffee get all the neighborhood's news for the day. Our server Rose was absolutely wonderful. She's always so sweet and friendly whenever we come, she's been here for years. Hungry, our breakfasts came out quickly and cooked perfectly to our order. I love their fat link fresh sausages! They're just bursting with juices and flavors. The deliciously crispy home fries served with the eggs were outstanding. Highlighted by their fresh green pepper and onion accents. Such a multitude of flavors in the breakfast eggs and sausage special. I have to also mention their famous fresh-brewed iced tea. I take it unsweetened with lemon. They're absolutely wonderful, light, crisp, and delicious. So refreshing on a summer's day, especially after the hot baking beach. We've been here a dozen times and always leave impressed. The lunch and dinners are equally delicious and prepared flavorful and fresh, just like Grandmas in their back kitchen. I have to highly recommend this little spot to all travelers and locals alike. That's if you haven't been here already. The William Floyd Diner in Shirley is Almost a mandatory stop after leaving The Smith Point Beach. Great service wonderful food and an air-conditioned Oasis are waiting for you. Right on your way, the bathrooms are so clean and convenient for the kiddos. The parking is free here too. Pull up to the table, cold crisp iced teas or other beverages are waiting for you. Highly recommended! The William Floyd Diner. We just love coming here, can't wait for our next visit. read more

Great tasting food. I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've ordered. Service is always super friendly. Prices are getting a bit out of hand though. They need to bring back down the prices if they want more consistenr business. read more

I usually get the romainian steak and eggs (I like mine with 3 eggs) and a large OJ. I have never been dissapoinred coming here, and will definitely be returning again soon.

When I first set foot into this diner I fell in love with the great service they provided. My waitress was Gina. Gina talked and engaged me like a great waitress should. Every time I go in I see if she's there because Gina never gets my order wrong; I can be picky at times, but I know that about me, anyway I'm getting off track. Gina is a great person and that's why I go back. The food is good. They make better then expected diner food, compared to many other diners they are a step above. I eat a lot of food off there menu and I enjoy it. I wouldn't ask them to change a thing. What blew my mind was the recent renovation of the building. It looks great and it seems the food taste better. Maybe it's just my imagination but I feel the look of a place helps sell the food too. But it must have cost a pretty penny to upgrade the place because the price of the food went up. I'm not surprised and it's not a crazy increase but they need to turn a profit like anyone else. Also my last negative, they stopped selling Mountain Dew! I mean what goes better with a burger then a cold Mountain Dew? The lady in charge looks so happy when I told her the place looks great, she was grateful for the compliment. I like how she was humble about it and said thank you like she meant it. It's a wonderful diner on William Floyd and I will continue to go there, for the food and the conversation. read more

The worst diner I've been to , went on a Friday night and there was literally no one there, I now understand why , the employees who are a bunch of teenage girls who were unprofessional served us , started off by bringing the wrong drinks then when we got the chicken noodle soup it was so gross the chicken was pink and as for our entrees (chicken parm sandwich) was terrible the sauce tasted like if it was from a can !!!! A BIG NO read more

Been here twice had breakfast both times. One of the times I had a very crispy home fries which I loved. The chard on the home fries really made my dish special. Price is good Staff are attentive, but could be a bit more welcoming. If your the type of client that want to place your order and left alone, but if you need anything they are responsive this is the place you go. Currently they have extended their hours and now open at 6am. read more

We ate here last night, there was 5 of us. We all had basic sandwiches fries burger. But my husband had land and sea, and he's been sick since 4:00am food poison. This was like 4th time we ate here, it will definitely be the last. read more

We've been coming here for years whenever we are camping and don't want to cook. The staff is very friendly and the food is good and you get a good portion too. The kids love it! We will be back. read more

We had been driving for a few hours and decided to stop here. About as average as it gets. It's a diner, so I have 'diner expectations' and nothing more. Diner atmosphere, diner service were on par. Food.. Well, the coffee was good, so there's that, lol. My french toast was dry. Same problem I seem to have everywhere, barely dipping the bread into the batter. *sigh* One of my dining companions had chicken, but it was so hard, it had to be like 3 days old. The server removed it in favor of a burger that was reportedly "excellent". After our vacation, on the way home, we had stopped at a pancake house in Montauk, but waiting to come back here would have been better. My recommendation is to give them a shot. Nothing great, but I wasn't overly disappointed with my meal for the price. read more

Avoid this place. The ownership quite obviously has zero clues to operating a diner properly. I don't mind paying prices but fill the plate up. Don't cheat customers with one slice of turkey on a hot open dinner. Go to Moriches Bay diner..you won't be disappointed. read more

Totally Awesome fresh made food breakfast, lunch. Or dinner! Sergio is the New owner and has completely updated this restaurant with enhancing the Quality of the food 10 fold!! The waitresses are Amazing and so friendly and give you the service of a 5 star restaurant. Will come here very often in 2021 read more

Food is pretty good here. Problem is when I order takeout. Both times I ordered takeout here I have gotten overcharged. Last time was 2 sandwiches. Should have been $22.85 (with tax included) but I was charged $28.75. Twice this happened on two different orders (forgot my coleslaw also) so I will not be ordering takeout from there again. To be fair, the food is good. read more

Heads up. If you do not know how to make homefries then do not make them. You do not not cut up baked potatoes then fry them. You should try to learn how to make them before you start selling this. Just spent 55.00 wish i can get my money back. SMH. Food for my dogs........ read more

Just wanted to write a quick review to say how amazing this diner was tonight for me and my job. I work in a group home that houses 7 medically fragile and elderly adults all with different diets today on a terribly hot day we lost power which meant that we lost our air conditioning we needed to take all 7 of them out to dinner to get in ac and bc we couldn't cook. The 5 staff members and 7 residents were beautifully accommodated tonight when we pulled in all the staff came out and held the doors open for us (we have 5 in wheelchairs) they had a whole section blocked off for us they made exceptions that went with all 7 diets even when one of my residents started screaming they didn't have an issue. Our server was so sweet and helpful they gave us pretty much anything we needed !! Also they all held the doors open so we could get everyone out and back onto our bus. Thank you again for all your help tonight and we'll definitely be back! read more

William Floyd Diner is awesome food and the staff is so friendly. Best experience! Shout out to our waitress Michelle for making us feel right at home. If you have not been or if you need somewhere to go and get out of this quarantine cycle then come on down. You will not regret it! Clean place, great staff! and very delicious food! You cannot go wrong. Will be back again! read more

I can't say enough about how much our family loves this place. It's on point, every time. The decor is classic diner, which you wouldn't think based on it's strip mall location. The service is attentive, friendly and professional and the food is delicious. Whether it's a classic omelette breakfast, a juicy cheeseburger and fries or the spinach pie l, you will not be dissatisfied. I will go on record to say that the spinach pie is the best we've ever had. So much flavor packed in that buttery, flaky crust... and they offer it as an appetizer or a full meal with soup/salad and sides. Please go and support the William Floyd Diner. As far as service, food and diner vibes go, it is the best in a 10 mile radius, no doubt. read more

I phoned in an order for takeout * Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with some shredded mozzarella cheese * to my dismay, this was by far, the most expensive salad I've EVER had * a whopping $19 * seriously?? When I got home, I expected to see this ginormous meal, I was sadly mistaken * never would I go back after such a tremendous disappointment....... read more

Super slow service. Over 30 minutes for an omelette. The waitress finally came over and apologized, she never offered a refill on our coffee. We had to leave with out our food because the waitress said it would still be a while. Sorry to say that after years of going here the service has gotten so bad that we won't be going back. The old owners were so much better, the new owners are letting the service go down hill. read more

so this is my 4th time coming here and by far it was comically horrible. the waitress we usually have is amazing- but we didn't have her tonight. whoever was on the grill might need some additional training. when our waitress came over to ask how the food and i said "good" because are you serious? you looked at the pile of deli corned beef, literally boiled wedge of cabbage, melted corned on the cob and had the idea that this is food you want to send out? and like have people pay for? with money? i wouldn't serve this you in my house, i'd be mortified. maybe instead of this place trying to do everything just offer the things you're good at. read more

Just went here because I heard they got new owners and when we started I thought oh good the foods not bad- and then I started eating a bit more of my wrap and there was a plastic bag inside of my wrap!!! How can you not notice putting a plastic bag in the wrap you're making Gross gross read more

OK so I haven't had lunch/dinner hear. But I have had breakfast here several times! Many times at night, which a colleague of my has appropriately dubbed brinner! ( Not all pancakes are equal, these are top notch) This is a simple diner in a strip mall, once a pancake cottage. The food is good and reasonably priced. ? I just really like this place! Nothing super special, but I have been to bad diners and this is NOT one of them. Newly refurbished, clean and cozy! I like the atmosphere in addition to good eats! Update: had a dinner item the other night, I started with the burger deluxe. It was a good burger and the onion rings were awesome. Though when I crave a burger I don't typically go to diners. read more

Ok this well might have been my worst experience in a diner EVER! The food (when it FINALLY CAME) was decent, however the service was HORRIBLE! My girl and myself were 2 of maybe 6 people in the whole place when we arrived and placed our order. 10-15 mins later a group of Hispanic people came in, ordered, AND got their food before us! (Which wasn't even until I complained about how long it was taking, maybe 45 mins!!!) There was no bus service when we were finished, and it took several attempts to get the check - to sum it up, if you're not a minority here, THE SERVICE COMPLETELY SUCKS!!! read more

I ate there twice with my family over the past year and it was really terrible we ordered breakfast and the blueberries were moldy. When are they going to step it up? People want to spend money at a good place, I'm local and I have to leave my town to enjoy a good meal, except for Tony's Sushi. Please get a real chef in the kitchen and please take care of your produce you're making people sick read more

Poor wait staff service and the food Sucks. They're incapable of making eggs over with the Whites completely cooked. I tried them twice in the past and had the same result both times. Too bad because they're close to my home -- Won't be Back ! read more

We just recently returned here after a long absence. There is a sign at the register saying ALL credit card transactions will have a service fee. No minimum purchase indicated nor what the fee would be. While the food may be good for dinner food, I have a real issue with that. I can understand if someone is charging $5 but, the fee the cc company charges the merchant is usually under a dollar, and that is part of business expenses. It should be calculated into your menu prices. read more

Don't go here they forget what you ordered and when your order finally comes I was eating and I found a fucking staple in my food horrible food with a side of staple.......yea never going here again read more

Okay guys, so I am sitting in a booth at the Will.i.am Floyd Diner. Wil.i.am. is not here, I am very sure you can understand my disappointment from right off the bat. So let's get down to the nitty gritty, the juice, very good not gonna lie. The food, not bad, not bad, but the fucking bitch who got my juice. Worst thing in the world. I asked for it with ice and instead I got a lemon. The food looked different expected, attached is a photo of how I received my plate. I think this place is not only a hidden gem in this piece of shit town called mastic, but it is also a piece of shit. read more

What a pleasant surprise. Traveling from a wedding the night before enroute to JFK, we took an exit and googled local restaurants and found the William Floyd Diner. We had a large party of hungry young adults. The hostess was super helpful in assembling tables for our group, our waiter could not have been more accommodating. And the food was wonderful - a wide variety of comfort food. The service was outstanding - refilling coffee and providing extra pickles (which were awesome). Just a mile off the highway, it is worth the trip. read more

Great place to bring the family for Christmas! Beautiful decorations and food presentation adds to it's great taste.

So VERY done with the William Floyd Diner. We are locals who try to patronage our small business, but will no longer patronage this establishment after being charged a "service fee" for paying our bill with a debit card. There is no signage stating this policy and we only made aware of it when we went to pay the bill. We asked to have it waived and were denied by the Manager. Their customer service non-existent and as they say, a fish smells from the head down, so if the Manager won't offer customer satisfaction, don't expect anything more from the staff they employ. SHAME ON THEM!! What a disgrace.... read more

Service was good, our server was precious- very sweet. Food came out pretty fast. Their French fries are delicious- I ordered the chefs omelette with home fries but I was able to try their fries- so much better! Our bill came to be a little higher than expected but it was correct. read more

Went there on Friday for lunch before going to Smith Point Beach. This is a great place to stop and grab a bite. My eggplant parmigiana special was delicious. The breading was perfect, though I felt they went a little overboard on the cheese (personal preference) and would have preferred a hero roll versus the bun they used. My wife got the gyro and enjoyed her dish as well. I would of also preferreed a little less cheese. That being said, I took leftovers of both with me. With the lunch special, I got the Soup of the Day a seafood bisque and liked the chunks of crab meat that was in it. What was nice was that the soup wasn't salty. The waitress who served us was very nice, even after we accidentally spilled some soda on the table. read more

Terrible service tonight we go to this establishment often waited 45 mins for a meal with a half empty place only to get up and leave sorry floyd diner you lost our business . Off to Moriches bay we go . read more
