Good to be back at an old haunt. Nothing to jump out of of chair over but quality folks and food is decent. I'm always a fan of Long Island Diners and this ranks high on the list.

Food? Fabulous. Service? Wonderful, cheery, helpful waitstaff. Quiet 60s music? Check. This is a great restaurant disguised as a diner. Eggs done just right. Fluffy pancakes. Terrific spinach Greek salad with grilled chicken or salmon. Yum. Highly recommended.

One of the best diner experiences I've had. The decoration is gorgeous and classy, with the vintage diner feel. The service was fast and waitress was super friendly. Menu is huge and varied, but prices are good and it's not overwhelming. I got the brisket melt, the bun was crispy, brisket was tender, and it was charred perfectly. It was a little bland, but I asked for some barbecue sauce. They make all sauces in house, and the barbecue sauce was FABULOUS. The coleslaw was one of the only coleslaws I've ever liked. They have a good variety of desserts I'd like to try, and even the bathrooms are gorgeous. My friend going gluten free pancake, and he said they were the best he's had.

I haven't been here in a while and always like to stop in when i travel to Long Island. I like the renovated look. I got eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. I always ask for the hashbrowns well done because they tend to be undercooked. I ate the potatoes off the top. The staff was really nice and kept refilling my coffee. I miss diners. We don't have anything like this near me.

I love reputable Long Island diners. They serve menu pages worth of delicious from breakfast to late dinner. Unfortunately, I now live in Las Vegas which leaves me across the continent from the Long Island diners that I grew up with. When I returned to Long Island for a week to see my dad, I got to revisit the Long Island diner. The Holbrook Diner has been a local institution in the heart of the business district for decades. Although I lived nearby in the 1990s, July 21, 2023 would be my very first visit here. The Holbrook Diner has an ambiance that is both retro and modern. For example, a neon purple linear ceiling light and chanderliars compliments a faux wooden floor with plate glass windows overlooking Main Street, Holbrook. From the moment we sat down til we left, the service was commendable. The waiter was proficient in his job and never rushed us. In my opinion, it helps that the server hub and counter is in the middle of the diner. Regardless that the menu offered pages of choices, I was decided on eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti. Eggplant parmigiana with pasta has been my goto meal on my summer vacation on Long Island, as my reviews reflect. At a $21.95 price tag, it included a soup or salad. I ordered Manhattan Clam Chowder soup. I do not know what it is with diners and Manhattan Clam Chowder soup. Every Diner that I have been to has served me outstanding Manhattan Clam Chowder soup. This includes the Holbrook Diner. Before my entree arrived, I also savored house salad with honey mustard dressing that my brother presented me with. As far as my eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti, I was very satisfied. Many people will argue that the same dish is superior in an Italian restaurant such as Mama Lombardi's across the street. However, I would argue that that is comparing apples to oranges. My brother was not up for Italian food, my dad wanted something else, and I wanted Italian food, which led to the diverse diner menu bringing us into the Holbrook Diner. Both the portion and flavor were grand. This could easily make a two-parter meal. With the food, I enjoyed a couple of Cokes, which our waiter was on the eight ball in refilling. I am a fan of reputable Long Island Diners. The Holbrook Diner is one of them.

This has always been a reliable choice. Too many diners have some cranky old man at the cash register. Not here. The front people are so bubbly and welcoming. Same with the waitpeople. No request is turned down. I hadn't been here in years and was pleasantly surprised to see the new decor. I keep coming back.
