It’s easy to see why this place is a neighborhood favorite. The food and the service are phenomenal. You can’t go to a diner in New York and not have breakfast. The pancakes were light and fluffy and tasty. I also tried the French Toast on the recommendation of our waitress and it was delicious. My coffee cup was always full thanks to the attentive staff that seemed to work together like a well coordinated team. The art deco interior is a pleasant departure from the flashy neon kitschyness of most other diners. It was just the right balance of style and comfort that contributes to a wonderful experience.

Excellent breakfast spot a few blocks from the Long Beach train station and beautiful beach and boardwalk. A must-see majestic interior that brings you back in time. They have an inside counter and booth seating. Outside, they have sidewalk tables primarily shaded in the AM. The staff are serious and hard-working and know their food so ask for a recommendation Excellent menu, good coffee, and food. Large platters.

The vibes and ambiance are very good here. Service was friendly and fast but a little too fast. My breakfast came out within 5 minutes of ordering and we felt very rushed to leave on a Sunday morning even tho we waited for our table fair and square. Food was average diner standards. I was upset to see on my check that adding blueberries to pancakes was an extra $4, which was outrageous. Overall a good spot.

Best waffle fries i ever tried really nice place, great service. coke float was great! turkey burguer.. I wouldn't have again or id specifically ask to get it extra-well done. Good prices!

Great spot with great atmosphere. I wish their menu had some more sandwich/non-burger options but we can all be critics, right?! Otherwise this spot is always clean and has some nice character. Come check it out

The Laurel was much better in the '90s and early 2000s. The renovations look great and it maintains that classic diner vibe. The service is fine, but the food doesn't match the price you're paying.…

I ordered the Sunset Santorini salad it was so perfect The combination of the feta walnuts and fig glaze is so delicious on its own. It didn't need the grilled chicken on it.

People are very friendly....Food is diner quality food...priced high for what it is... basic eggs and hash browns and an omelet cooff over 30 dollars plus tax plus tip so basically 36-40 dollars …

In business since 1932, Laurel Diner is a classic diner in almost every sense. It’s spacious and boisterous with striped booths that exude retro charm. The menu is appreciably huge, boasting everything from breakfast to sandwiches to pastas and much, much, more. About the only thing here that doesn’t recall a bygone era is the pricing, which is high even by 21st-century Long Island standards. Laurel does at least offer rather generous portions (plus free coleslaw and pickles), but the food is nothing special. I went with a pastrami Reuben and a side salad in place of fries. The sandwich satisfied a craving though the meat was a bit chewy. It feels almost blasphemous, but I can get a better version down in North Carolina for about half the $20-plus cost. To Laurel’s credit, the staff were at least attentive and accommodating. For those who grew up with diners like this or simply want a lot of options to choose from, Laurel Diner holds a certain appeal. Remove nostalgia from the equation, however, and it offers neither particularly good food nor a good value.

Looked like a nice local diner. But the food was so and so. And the service was lacking. One persons meal came out way late. Kept forgetting toast that was supposed to come with the omelet. A nearby table almost got into it with the waitress because of a terrible attitude/response. I’ll have to give it a try some time in the future. Don’t recommend.

Ordered cheeseburger medium rare, got medium no pink pretty dry. I never heard of a diner not sending Cole slaw with the burger order..... ordered burger and 2 baked potatoes. $30. Plus $5 tip.…

One more thing that I do not like is those disgusting rags they use to clean the tables with! OMG it is so gross! They also wipe down the seats too. I gag every time I see them to that. At least us…

Every item on the menu is beyond overpriced, defeats the whole purpose of a diner. Great food just criminally priced.

If I could give this place negative stars I would do so. I ordered a sirloin steak to go. The steak was for an employee of mine. The employee complained to me that the steak was like a hamburger so I took a close look at it and then ripped off a piece of it. The "sirloin steak" was actually a giant hamburger made of ground meat and made to look like a steak. After discovering this, I called the restaurant and told the manager what happened. He proceeded to tell me that the steak was made of ground meat. He refused to issue a refund, called me cheap for ordering the "cheap steak". After I called back and told him that I would come into the restaurant and tell everyone what he had done, he threatened to call the police on me, to which I laughed and told him that they would laugh at him for serving me a hamburger that was disguised as a steak. The manager then proceeded to curse at me in Greek -- calling me a "Malaka" -- which is Greek for "dumbass". Long story short, I will never eat here due to the manager's lack of ethics and disgusting behavior -- besides for the mystery meat that they served me. P.S. I have included a picture of the 'sirloin steak".
