    Hungry man

    So cute! I'm usually not the biggest fan of diners but I really liked this one. The staff was so nice and the food was good!

    Your average dinner that's very reasonable. I came here for breakfast and they had everything from omlettes to pancakes to waffles and so on. The serving sizes are decent and the food is very average. This is your very typical long island diner. The service is very quick and attentive. The place itself is quite small and does get busy in the mornings on weekends, so just be aware.

    I've been here a few times over the last few months and have always had a good experience. However, I was here this past weekend and extremely disappointed. I had ordered a pastrami melt but when I got it there was a lot of fat on the meat. I told the waitress that I didn't want it. She asked if I wanted something else so I decided upon a BLT. When the sandwich came, it only had three pieces of bacon on it. I started eating it and then I noticed that the tomato didn't look right. I opened the sandwich to see one of the tomatoes was cut leaving the core piece in it. Picture attached. I ate a piece of that core not knowing it. I feel the tomato was cut that way deliberately because I had returned my first order. So, instead of making their customer happy, they took their contempt out on me instead and then charged me $13 for three pieces of bacon. Great customer service! I will not be returning to this diner anymore and will not recommend it to friends, either.

    Best pancakes, sausage and eggs in the area. The sausage is crispy, plump and juicy. Pancakes have the distinct flavor reminiscent of IHOP that keeps you coming back for more. Service is excellent. Ricardo, Daisy and team are all super attentive and friendly. One of the least crowded places is a bonus, great food without the wait!!

    Used to go every Sunday before Covid and loved the food and people who worked there. Went Sunday morning at 3:00 am. The pastrami was cut so thick, you could not eat it in the sandwich becauseit was hard. We had to take the pastrami out if the sandwich and use a fork and knife to eat it. The waitress realized that something was wrong so we ended up ordering a lamb gyro. The gyro was very greasy. So we ended up not eating it. The waitress was very sarcastic and we heard her talking smack about us in Spanish not liking the gyro.

It's been about 4 years since I've been to The Burger Spot, but the food and service is still as great as I remember it to be. I used the ordering service through their website and put in my order for pickup. I walked into The Burger Spot and went to the cashier. My order was behind the counter and ready for pickup. My go to speciality burger is Swiss ($15.95). Swiss comes with swiss, mushrooms, and caramelized onions. Burgers are served with fries. The burger was juicy and just the way I remember it to be. The fries are very crispy and the white sauce it comes with is very good. My husband ordered one of the specials, the Tamarind Cilantro Chicken Sandwich ($16.54). This sandwich is grilled chicken with pepper jack cheese, avocado, arugula, topped with homemade Tamarind cilantro salsa on ciabatta. The sandwich was also served with a side of fries, but you can substitute it for others like he chose 1/2 Sweet Potato / 1/2 Onion Rings for $2.07 more. There were only a few onion rings, but they are big. The sandwich was packed with flavors. The Burger Spot is the spot for burgers and fries. There are a few tables inside and when the weather is nice, there are tables set up outside as well. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

    I was very disappointed with The Burger Spot. It's very rare that I should give less than a four…read morestar review but the standard for tasty burgers is now Shake Shack or even Five Guys or Smashburger. The Burger Spot burger was mediocre, at best. The onion rings and fries were good. I paid almost twice for my burger compared to what I would have paid at any of the other fast food burger places mentioned above, waited longer for my burger and the ambience didn't make up for it. So bummed. If the burger were AS good as Shake Shack, I would have been OK paying for the burger because it's GC. I get it but it wasn't even that. I feel a little bad about writing a bad review but if you want to tasty burger, go to SS instead.

Of course, this set off a craving when I got back to NY, so I went to the Five Guys in Garden City Park. Prices were slightly higher but the burger was just as good. Kudos to Five Guys for consistency! ** Don't forget to get your free peanuts! (Self serve). One of the perks of going to Five Guys! I really appreciated that all burgers are made to order, so you're guaranteed a fresh burger. Also, you can get all the toppings you like without an upcharge. The burgers are pricey enough without having to pay extra for toppings! The first time, I got my burger "all the way" with all the trimmings... believe it or not, this may have been too many trimmings?!?! It was a hot mess to eat, and I ended up taking some of the trimmings out. For me, simpler is better. The 2nd time I went, I ordered just 3 trimmings and I really enjoyed my burger so much more. Sometimes, less is more! I must add that their fresh cut fries are fantastic....don't skip the fries! Customer service was friendly, accommodating and fast! By the time I got some free peanuts to go, my burger order was ready. I would definitely return the next time I'm craving a burger!

I entered this beautiful store and found it tidy and neat. A beautiful red smash burger sign greets you upon entering. They had my attention, after all, I saw red! ( Just a little pun). Walking up to the counter I saw not workers in sight or on site, which ever you chose, so I stood there for 3 minutes. Someone finally came to the front and just started staring at me. No proper greeting, no welcome to Smash Burger, home of the good burger. (I'm acting a little wiftey). I begin to ask questions in order to make the best of my visit. I asked if they had turkey burgers and crinkled cut fries. She said no and no was just that, no means no, no suggestive selling, just flat out no. I am not ready to consume beef so I opted out. Improvements needed- when a customer enters the store, greet them and ask them how you can help them if they ask for something off of the menu, stir them to what's on the menu. It's obvious that they are unfamiliar with the menu, try to keep them in the store to make the sale by telling them what you do have; like, we have hotdog's, chicken sandwiches, sweet potato fries. Give them a reason not to leave and don't say no for the customer, let the customer make that "no" decision. Based on customer service and not trying to score the saie, I initially was giving 3 but I'll knock a half Star off, rounded down to make two stars. If I'm in the area, I'll stop in to see if improvements are made and give a satisfactory rating That's all I have to offer... Oh!! and.... Inspire more, Yelp more!
