Very good menu selection. Menu on par with most any other diner. Very quick service. Very good diner food. Been here a few times and always obe of the better diners. This trip Shared a Greek salad and a turkey club sandwich with fries and finished it all, and it was a big stuffed sandwich!!

We came here after a very sold out Rock concert at Jones Beach. The only closest diner to the venue and it got packed very quickly. As busy as they were, we were greeted quickly and our order was made very quickly. Especially considering the fact that it was so busy. And the food quality was fantastic. Very clean place. The crew take great pride in keeping everything spotless. I have so many food allergies and they accomodated me so well. Our waiter was very conscious of our needs. He had few words; it was mostly action. Old school ethics here. And Old school quality. Highly recommend

Had an excellent Sunday morning breakfast there last Sunday after church. Have not been out to eat for breakfast in a VERY long time! Peggy, our server was excellent and so friendly. We tried the Pumpkin waffles for the first time and they were mouth watering! My son, who had never had corned beef hash before, tried it for the first time and loved it! Great service & good food, you can't ask for more.

TRUE STORY (Darq Raptor)

Amazing Service, food always prepared perfectly, staff overall super friendly. It is obvious they care about there customers. I can say great things about the menu items that we already have tried. But its the simple things that stand out. You can not find any place that can make HOME FRIES like these guys. They were even good the next day as left overs. When someone that much effort to prepare a side dish you can imagine the ultimate waffles, French toast, bison burgers, French fries, eggs prepared exactly how you request. And no I did not eat all of this in one sitting. Although I wish I could!

Amazing place! Food is so delicious! Their Greek salad was so fresh and the dressing was just perfect! The service was outstanding too! Our waiter Billy was very cheerful yet professional and took a good care of us! I think he should be a movie star with all his charisma!!!:)

Stopped in for breakfast while car was being serviced. We had Belgian waffle w/ egg whites and sausage; and pecan pancakes w/ egg whites and crispy bacon. They know what crispy bacon means and is supposed to look like! Everything was delicious and the peppermint tea was one of the best cups of tea I’ve had in a while.

A classic diner with amazing food! My parents go here weekly and are treated like family. The owners are incredibly kind people, and they even have AMAZING baked goods as well. Best turkey burger around, and all of their sandwiches don’t disappoint. The rainbow cookie cake ….. just try it for yourself. It’s phenomenal

I loved everything, and it was reasonably priced. Attentive servers and super nice host. I will definitely be back. We live in Brooklyn but just bought a home in east islip.

This is probably the best diner I've went to on Long Island. Service is great and breakfast is top tier. The coffee is strong and good and I always either get Gyro Omelet or Spring Chicken. Both items are good and it's not only a good breakfast place but a good place to get some food at after a night out. Five stars.

Standard diner fare, decent prices, but being the only 24 hr diner left in the area made it 5 stars when we needed it. And it's across from my wife's most recently frequented Tattoo Shop where Andrea did 2 excellent PCs for her in the last few years coincidentally.

Lighthouse Diner really good! Although not comparable to the Imperial Diner in Freeport, I recommend the chicken parmesan! I also recommend the weird Pizza Burger which, at first I was feeling eh about it, but when I tasted it wow! I wouldn’t recommend getting it with the onion rings instead get it their really tasty fries! Their appetizers combo platter was also good and at the right price. Hope this review helped you decide! Btw, everything in this table got devoured 😎

A loyal diner here with my family since 2008. Finally writing a review because the Napoleon dessert pastry is one of the best desserts I have had in my life. I'm not a huge custard dessert fan but this particular combination of flaky pastry, icing, dabs of chocolate liqueur and oozing custard still has me drooling even after eating it. 😜 Enjoy many options here and split these desserts with friends they are huge portions!

This is my favorite diner out of all my years growing up in Wantagh. It’s always the go-to with friends and family. The food always comes out great. The owners are extremely pleasant as well. Dine in, takeout, middle of the night, you can always count on them!!

I have visiting this place for over 8 years and staff are always friendly. Food is good. I love to ask for bacon 🥓 and over easy eggs and some toast . Chocolate chips pancakes are great. Last time I also got a Italian omelet, wow it was great. The only thing is that sometimes I got my strawberry shake with whipped cream sometimes don't.. I think is base on who makes ur order 🤣 but that's ok too. I like to change my orders here.. wondering what would I get next 🤔 8/16 Omggg the strawberry shake today was amazing !!! And extra whipped cream . I love it . I tried something new now . The oreo pancakes wow really good ones . This dinner never disappoints. The staff are always friendly. It literally feels like you ate at grandma house having breakfast.

Great diner experience! Had the roast beef dip. Not a fan of the bread they used, the sandwich easily fell apart when dipping. The portion size made up for that. Fries were on point.

My favorite diner around, the food is always tasty and good service. Have yet to find a place I like better. You won't find anything too out of the ordinary as far as diner fare goes, but it does have every diner staple you can think of and they do 'em all right. The pizza burger is a personal favorite of mine. Staff has always been incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially even with special requests. Parking can be a little crazy with a relatively small lot and with how popular the place gets especially around breakfast, but the side streets provide decent spillover parking.

One of the best diners I’ve ever been too and had fast service too. The inside and outside of the diner was clean and everyone that worked there was really nice. You get your money’s worth with whatever you order and there’s a lot of seating available at almost any time of the day. I would highly recommend going here.

A lovely spot for a birthday brunch, especially if you enjoy generous portions. Lots of options and deserts too 😋. All five of us loved our meal. Especially recommend the crab cake benedict, best I’ve had in NYC! Staff was nice and made sure we were well taken care of too :).

Probably one of the better diners on long island. Between the service and the quality of the food for the price will exceed you expectations for a diner and sets the bar higher. Get the pork chops for the value and their pumpkin pie cheesecake is probably the best I've had

The hostess and our server were very attentive, although the place was nearly empty, which worried me a bit. I've had breakfast here on a number of occasions and the food is always good. It came out super fast but again, there was hardly anyone there. Also, it's 24 hours as opposed to the diner a bit west, which is not.

Food was good and service was great but when i got the bill I almost fell out of the booth. 67.00 for 2 breakfast meals ,1 coffee, 1 oj, two side of fries and 2 cokes. For the kiddos. And that is before tip. Really. Pretty steep brunch.

It says 24hr. dining online but you can't enter to eat inside after 2am, on Fridays at least. So it seems they cook all night. And that's ok, but not when you get off work at 1am. But what's a speeding ticket for a meal made how you want. A well done burger doesn't mean burnt and this place understands that. If I get another damned hockey puck at a diner, I'll poke my own eye out, ugh. They understand crispy fries that aren't burnt either. Perfect. My favorite beverage, lemonade with either Coke or Pepsi, I forget which they serve, is always mixed to perfection. I love this diner. It's clean, the food is good, the portions are hearty and the staff are super pleasant. Try it. You'll be so happy you did

Came here after seeing the Jason Aldean show at Jones Beach last night and we were very satisfied. First off, I want to say John our waiter was excellent. The moment we sat down, John was literally waiting for our drink orders and had our drinks in 10 seconds, I was stunned by how fast he came. John was very attentive and didn’t miss a step with our order, he was truly exemplary. Secondly, the food was great. Sprite was full of flavor, the beef was tender and delicious, but the French Onion Soup was too salty (Only reason for not giving 5 stars), but I let that slide considering how amazing everything else was. We considered having dessert, but we were so full from the meal. Overall, delicious food and amazing service. If you decide to eat here, ask for John, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Good food no wait. They seated my party of 3 right away on a Sunday close to noon which is great. The place is clean inside with friendly staff. I got the corn beef hash with 3 eggs and it was pretty much what I expected. The lighthouse sampler was just ok... mozzarella sticks were a bit dry but acceptable. I’d stop in here again for a bit if I had to

They Charged close to $3 for 'honey' without mentioning there was a charge until we saw it on the bill. Management seemed to react with an attitude instead of apologizing that the waitress should have mentioned there was a charge at the time we ordered. I think this should have been handled differently, if there's an upcharge, it should be disclosed when ordering. Food was good/hot and service was pretty quick even though the diner was busy. The parking lot is a medium size but seemed to fill up quickly. I think we'll try a different diner next time.

At midnight your pickings are slim.. i really wanted this to work. We need nore late night restaurants. But Seat Upholstey and carpet very old and sticky . The ant crawling accross my table did not need food scraps he could live off the residue coating everything. The pea soup was thick as mashed potatoes the taste was good. I ordered hot warer and thinned it. Patty melt had grilled onions so large you could not pick isandwich up they dominated it sliding all out and over. The melt was assembled but not grilled properly together coming apart in my hand Fries were good. Fried cheese was not house made out of a frozen bag. Beef gravy had reddish yellow color and was tastless. Flan was good sugar free strudel was inedible. Parking lot was beautifully redone good job. Pancakes looked amazing. Service was good. Coffee was surprisingly excellent strong and smooth. Will have to avoid ever going again unless alone and late in LI. The wife and kids will never step foot again they were grossed out

We have been coming to Lighthouse diner for Sunday breakfast about once a month for about 20 Years. We frequent many diners and travel from Long Beach to go to Lighthouse. We like the openness and food is plentiful and mostly good. The past 10 or so times there for Sunday breakfast one or both of our orders came out literally cold and had to send back for just a re- heat. Sometimes couldn’t be bothered but eat it. Today we one again were served luke warm eggs. We thought it time to bring some constructive criticism to management. To our shocked they said maybe we were having a bad day and they never had a complaint in 40 years! She was very very defensive and rude. How do you talk to a customer like that ! Lighthouse will forever be off our list of frequently visited diners. Sunrise diner across the street is far more superior in food and service.

Food is ok . Ordered the special in the photo, came with 1 shrimp and a large piece of spinach pie. I chose Manhattan clam chowder which was very good but could benefit from some other veggies. Now is where the issue begins, the waiter Matthew, came around and saw that we were finished eating. He grabs our plates and tells us be right back with the check. We look at each other" saying I guess he is assuming we do not want anything else" but he quickly walks away. He comes back a few minutes later with the check. We ask doesnt mine come with a piece of cake?? He responds "Oh, that's a misprint but Il give it to you" Comes back with a menu for me to pick and walks away He comes back for my order and states again " That's a misprint but I'm going to give it to you" " No other lunch special has that on it"as he walks away.I told him if it was a misprint it could easily be fixed with some white out. FYI,If your company knowingly has a misprint on there menu, especially one that could easily be corrected, and they choose not to correct it, do not try to quickly give me my check hoping I dont remember what came with my meal, and then tell me multiple times it's a misprint but Il give it to you. Fix the menu or offer the cake. Instead, you just annoyed a customer who will never come back and will never recomend your restuarant.

I really really really like this place. I want businesses to be successful. If your team can’t whip an egg for egg only French Toast why am I coming to a diner and paying this price for breakfast? It’s a bad look that you can’t handle a simple allergy request. Updated. Still will not accommodate.

This has been an ongoing thing. I have no idea why I keep ordering food from here. The service is good and the atmosphere is good but the food is bad. There is a particular sandwich that I ordered that's supposed to come on garlic bread with chicken cutlets, Russian dressing and melted cheese. Only one time. Has it come on garlic bread. This time of course the chicken cutlets were underdone. The cheese was hardly melted and the fries were ice cold. And no IT WAS NOT ON TOASTED GARLIC BREAD. And I only had to drive 2 minutes away from this diner to bring the food home to eat it. I don't even bother complaining anymore. I'll just have to complain with my wallet.

Very disappointed. Unpleasant STAFF. Lets begin with the Appetizers. The wings, mozzarella sticks and Matzoh ball soup were good. Burgers were dry and Hot open brisket was horrible. Not to mention the gravy tasted like canned chef boyardee beef ravioli sauce. It was not a gravy and had a reddish tint to it. When I told the waiter I didn't like the Brisket and ate a few bites of the bread around it he took the whole platter back to kitchen. I thought he was going to show a manager. The potatoes were dry and clumpy as well and broccoli was just that. Just a steamed plain broccoli. No flavor, no taste. Upon reviewing the bill. They charged 21.95 for the brisket. I spoke to Maria at the register, who wasn't pleasant at all. If whole meal was thrown out, why was I being charged for a meal I didn't like nor ate? They could have left it on table for someone else to try it or even take home. Just because It wasn't my taste, doesn't mean that someone else at the table might have tried it and liked it. Not to mention the stares I recieved by staff, while I was explaining to "Maria" how dissatisfied We were. No apologies from anyone either. I dine out frequently and know good quality of food. Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this "Diner". Never returning.

Have been ordering from here for a few years and have had inconsistent results. This time I ordered Buffalo wings through Uber eats and got straight up fried chicken. Can’t eat breaded fried food. This was not in the description at all. When I called, I was told every place does Buffalo wings differently. I’ve never received Buffalo wings like these.. no hot sauce at all. If you’re gonna make them so differently, at least provide a description. Will try a different local diner next time.

Laurie Rice

What is with service and a decent meal these days? Oh goodness. I use to come to this diner all the time and the food was amazing and service awesome. I was mortified today to see how things have changed since a few years ago. Waiters don't seem to care and the food is subpar at best. I ordered a Italian burger. The first one came out raw and after sending it back, the next one had raw mushrooms on it instead of cooked. WTF. I didn't even bother to send it back again. You live and you learn. Food prices are through the roof, you would think dining out once in a while would make you feel good. This place has gone downhill. I don't know if it's new management or what but i didn't enjoy being back there and i was embarrassed because i brought someone with me. It's a shame.

Decided to finally try this diner tonight. It was pretty clean and festive inside but the staff were miserable and the food was mediocre at best. The only real appeal I see is that they’re “open 24 hours”, but they’re really not fully open 24 hours like they advertise. I definitely won’t be coming back, Sunrise diner across the street is so much better.

UNSANITARY!! I would give zero stars if I could. We sat down, ordered drinks, and I ran to the bathroom. I watched as one of the cooks/food handlers finished in the bathroom stall clearly pooping…

Just left that dump. Food was terrible, service was ok until the waiter made a gesture to the owner about me, because I complained about the food. The chicken club was stringy and dry, my friend had the fattiest lamb chops that she was served after being given lamb chops that were overcooked!!! This place has gone downhill fast. I will go to the Embassy Diner in Bethpage instead…

Nice looking place. But that's where it ends. Or server couldn't bother asking to refill our coffee. Well done french fries, arrived soggy. The grilled eggplant panini was a big disappointment. There was no flavor, spice or taste. Just one single piece of eggplant warmed up, one small piece of roasted pepper. Not even the grilled flavor. The most bland thing. Terrible. Left it all behind. We couldn't leave quick enough. Needless to say we won't be back.

Waffles were a disgraces and the establishment should never cook another waffle again. I’ve seen better structure in a house of cards during an earth quake. Didn’t know you could butcher a simple waffle that badly. Terrible stuff guys

Went in for a late night bite when entering the “owner “ didn’t even say hi or thanks for coming seemed to be more mad that it was 2am , I am 3 months pregnant and I ordered an orange juice and it was disgusting the use powder to make it I sent it back and the “old man who is the owner “ refused to take it off the bill . I never have encountered a horrible owner . I am a business owner myself and I would never ever refuse my customers and be so horrible . I would give this place no stars . Absolutely trash

I was very disappointed in Lighthouse diner. I went at 4 am and they told me they only do takeout then. I travelled so they agreed to serve me. I got a steak sandwich. It had strips of steak, but it was bitter, spoiled not edible. I told them and asked for a burger, but they insisted I get the same steak Panini because of cost. They brought the second steak panini snd it still was disgusting. Had less steak, i asked if it had vinegar or something, but they said no so just rotten. Yech. My stomach was really hurting and couldn’t eat the replacement steak either. I felt like I had food poisoning. Then they took that away and offered me a burger. I wanted eggs but they said no. I could not eat anything. Was way too nauseous. They gave me a free gingerale and a free cookie. I took the burger and the cookie in the bag and got a bill for $35 with tip. I couldnt believe I had to pay after that. Most restaurants would not have made me pay for rotten food. No apologies or managers coming to help. Usually I love NY diners, but don’t recommend this one.

I drove an hour one hour, to eat food I was told by management that they will not accept in house dining only , I am very confused as to how they advertise 24 hours and we was told we can’t stay and eat ..

We ordered take out for Mother’s Day the food was incorrect cold and had to be returned to be corrected.. the lazy incompetent employee that forgot to add hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict main ingredient…. Ruined my Mother’s Day causing cold food bc it was not edible without! This employee should be FIRED and shipped back to their country!!! America has really lowered their standards and raised their prices!!! additionally side of bacon paid for was left off

Terrible! We were just there. Ordered 3 chicken paninis.. they were dry and NO flavor at all. Told the hostess and all he said was sorry! Really?? Thats all? Dont waste your $$ especially if you are hungry. If you are going for eggs and pancakes thwy may be good but this is the second time i have eaten there and not ordered breakfast. Both times horrible

Riddle me this- a 24 hour diner on a Sunday morning that only takes "TAKE OUT" orders until 6am? Guess I'll have to wait 30 more minutes till I get served. First impressions are always key. Now it's an uphill battle for them.

Went to this diner last night after a nite out with friends the place was not the cleanest and the staff was not only rude but had no care in the world i would never go back to this diner and the food was not even good we had to argue with them to take food that was un edible off the bill... never again .... get it together people if you dont like your job find a new one ... no tip give

The worst food I’ve ever ate at a diner. I got a beef gyro and took 2 bites my stomach started doing cartwheels. My boyfriend got chicken fingers and fries which were disgusting as well. Server saw us waiting for the check for 25 minutes after we both only took 2 bites of our food and ignored us. We ended up going up to the counter and waited another 5 minutes with no one there. Owner came up to counter and had no idea what he was doing could not find our check, we got the check and he ignored us. We left the money and walked out. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had at a diner

The managers of this establishment are half asleep. They treat their employees like dirt. Their eggs Benny was gross and thick with a terrible flavor . A big no for me will not come back you lost good customer

i got the grilled chicken dinner, chicken is completely overcooked, dryer than the desert.. i really don’t understand how this $30 dinner is not a nice juicy piece of grilled chicken breast but this, taste like they cooked it over a fire pit on a stick..

Usually a great diner but they messed up my order today and the roast beef dip sandwich was disgusting and no flavor threw it out. Won’t be returning.

I walk in to get food they’re open, but it’s only take out between 3 and 6 AM but they have a waiter there doing absolutely nothing what’s the point of even being open up 24 hours if you’re not gonna serve people seems like the stupidest thing in the world but hey, I guess that’s what diners are going out of business. Maybe the owner should read this and reconsider his weird policy.
