What a find on vacation! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good service, and yummy food! We were in a breakfast food mood so we got pancakes. I got the multigrain pancakes topped with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and walnuts- 3 huge pancakes! I could not finish it! My husband had the apple pancakes and he couldn't finish his either. Enjoyed the meal. Definitely recommend!
Diner food and breakfast specials. This place has been renovated within the last 2 years. It is Down the street from the boardwalk and stroll away from the LIRR. The place is always buzzing with locals. Breakfast specials are priced within reason. We are fortunate to have at least three local diners in town, all which are acceptable. Lines are especially long on weekends and during summer months.
To add to my comment about how wonderful the burgers are here…they use prime Pat LaFrieda meats for the burgers. Enough said!
Classic luncheonette on Park in Long Beach. Was packed compared to Long Beach Diner across the street. Now I know why. Very good service, coffee carafe so I can refill myself! The breakfast specials kick it up a notch as I had eggs Halifax, basically eggs Benedict with lox instead of Canadian bacon. The place was buzzing.will come back to try lunch.
their blueberry muffins, OMG!! Big, bountiful in the blueberry distribution, and buttery! They cut it in half and give it an extra layer of crispy toasty-ness before serving, and it is just divine.
The friendly neighborhood diner feel of this place is very endearing. The wait wasn't too bad, the decor has some old-time charm. I liked the tall coat/scarf racks at each booth, that was a nice touch.
Lots of breakfast/brunch options here, you can't go wrong. Portions are big, be warned! I hate leaving food to go to waste, so I took my leftovers in a to-go box and enjoyed a wonderfully filling breakfast the next day, lol!
I tried Laurel's version of Eggs Benedict (although eggs benedict was also on the menu), which were poached eggs on top of an english muffin with bacon and cheese. The order came with potatoes, which I also happily devoured.
The food was fine, but not at all worth the terrible service and surly attitude of our waitress. Compare that with the good food and excellent friendly service at Bungalow West. No need to return to Laurel Diner.
It always takes me a long time to write reviews for local places that I frequent so often. It's so hard to sum up something that you have grown to love like an old blanket in one review and really explain what such a place – kind of like explaining why you love your dog to someone that has never had a pet.
Anyway, I love laurel and I have frequented the spot often solely due to the closeness to my home…until now. Now I actually go because I love it. They were recently renovated (the spot has a great history which can be seen in the black and whites on the walls) and along with the physical renovation came a newly renovated menu.
They were always known for their award winning pancakes (yes, they are superb) and their extremely long brunch line on sunday mornings (definitely worth it, but if you want there is an always empty diner directly across the street). I could rave about this place forever but I'll just say that the pancakes are amazing, eggs benedict perfect, omelettes are my favorite and customizable, the portions are extremely generous and the service both in diner and delivery wise are quick and efficient. The lunch items are very good – especially the greek, santorini and prasini salads as are the staple items such as chicken fingers, sandwiches and fries.
One of the last old diners around and there's a reason that it's so packed. Nice lunch counter and decor is fun and clean.
Highly recommended. Great staff, salads, breakfasts and everything in between at a reasonable price with fast service.
This place seems like your run of the mill diner and I was ready to keep walking until I read a few reviews on Yelp and gave it a try. The staff are professional and friendly. The menu is pretty basic stuff. I ordered the rodeo burger (guac, raw onion slices and cheddar cheese). It was moist and delicious. Totally melt in your mouth good.
The man next to me was literally moaning while eating his gyro it was so good.
I had a great dinner for about 10 bucks. Nice experience.
