Special thank you to our waiter, Alfonso and the staff at Mitchell's. Living over thirty+years and now I visit this diner with one of my daughters. The Deluxe pancakes dish was very ,very good and the coffee tasted like coffee with no additional aftertaste! My daughter had the Deluxe waffles which she enjoyed. Now I need to bring my wife next, the ultimate critic! I will definitely be back to dine at Mitchell's.

Nice place. Looks all brand new, food tasted great. I was actually relieved to see a not-so-unlimited menu, made choosing what to eat a bit easier. Finally a place that will cook my home fries well-done, crispy on both sides for real. Was perfect.

My father and I come in here all the time. We have never been disappointed. I had the salmon burger tonight and it was delicious. Just ground salmon and spices. No fillers! Can’t do better than that. Also, the Greek salad was very fresh. Would recommend them to anyone.

I have been a regular customer at Mitchell's for the past 15 years. It is family friendly with a warm and welcoming vibe. I live in Long Beach and drive past other diners on my way to Mitchell's in Valley Stream. The food is always fresh and the owners, Demetri and Vickie, make it a point to check in with all seated customers to make sure they are happy with their meal, and if they would like anything else. From time to time, Demetri and Vickie also offer free desserts to each table. This wonderful personal touch is not always associated with diners. To me it demonstrates a willingness to go above and beyond for their customers, giving them a chance to express satisfaction or, if need be, address any changes the customer may prefer. It's this type of concern , as well as the food served, that has kept me a loyal customer for 15 years. They truly place the needs of their customers first. I can attest to that...

Mitchel’s Diner is definitely one of those spots that makes you feel right at home. The service was excellent — friendly, quick, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. And let’s talk about the food — everything came out fresh and hot, but the real standout was the chicken francaise. Absolutely amazing! Perfect flavor, great texture, and something you’ll definitely come back for. Highly recommend stopping by Mitchel’s Diner if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

We are regulars here for a good reason. The food is always fresh and delicious. We really enjoyed the new atmosphere due to the beautiful new renovations. My favorite is the Salmon. It is so good! The seafood bisque is amazing! I am also a fan of the East End Salad. One of the better places in Valley Stream for sure!

Bladimir was my waiter and man was he just great energy. I ordered the Challah French toast with Apple preserves, 2 scrambled eggs and home fries. The home fries (side order) is massive so be careful!

Recently renovated dinner, classic menu with all the options. Service was out standing and food was perfection made. No complaints will definitely return.

Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The salad dressing that comes with the Greek salad is amazing!!!! Food has great quality and everything was fresh! I will definitely be back!

Food was excellent. It has a modern diner/restaurant look, lighting not too bright for coziness feel. The place is very clean American diner with fresh and clean food. Their eggs benedict and omelettes are excellent. As well as the sea bass, French onion soups and salads! The waitresa was professional yet friendy and had extensive knowledge of the flavors of foods on the menu. Helped us get exactly what we wanted and offered great suggestions as to what we would enjoy. Definitely a place to conf back to!

Tried this place after a few years. It’s been completely renovated. Looks great, like a diner. We came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning and got a table right away. Food was good, service was a little slow. Prices were a little steep for breakfast. Spent about $80 for 2 adults and gratuity was automatically charged at 16%. Overall a good experience.

Nice what seemed to be family owned. The portions they give are big portions, and the prices are extremely fair. I would definitely recommend coming here whether you're coming with a large family as I did or with just you and someone else.

“The Sundae Saves the Day (Barely)” Mitchell’s Diner is like that friend who’s incredibly talented but can’t show up on time to save their life. The food? Absolutely stellar. I’m talking comfort food that hugs your soul. And those sundaes? Chef’s kiss. I don’t know if they’re using some kind of ice cream wizardry or if the angels themselves are working the soft-serve machine, but those sundaes could probably broker world peace if given the chance. But then there’s the service. Our waiter had the urgency of a sloth on sedatives. I ordered my meal with such hope and optimism—I was a different person by the time it arrived. My phone died. I read the entire laminated menu. Twice. I considered learning a new language. When I finally flagged someone down for a refill, they looked at me like I’d asked them to donate a kidney. The sundae at the end almost made me forget the whole ordeal. Almost. Three stars because the food is legitimately great, but Mitchell’s really needs to remember that “diner” implies you might want to actually… dine… sometime this century. Would I go back? Probably, but I’m bringing a book. And snacks. And low expectations for human interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bland bland bland. Ordered the salmon burger that came with a salad and tzatziki. Paid extra for crispy onions. Onions were not crispy like I expected, it was just caramelized onions and some had a normal onion crunch from not being fully caramelized, but it wasn't breaded or anything, or prepared in any way that would indicate crispy. Salmon burger was plain and ultra bland, didn't seem like it was cooked with love, passion, or even any type of house recipe. The “tzatziki” was more akin to a bland sour cream, most lacking “tzatziki” I've ever had so that wasn't going to add any flavor either. Somehow the feta for the salad was also lackluster, and the dressing was what seemed to be tiny pieces of tomatoes and something else in too much oil and vinegar. When I simply tasted the “dressing” on the tip of my fork it sent a shock wave through my head to my brain. Never experienced that before maybe there was too much undiluted vinegar Idk. Salad was iffy some of the lettuce was browning. Tried one olive and spit it out, possibly going sour. And I had just had a nice fresh greek salad earlier today so the contrast was obvious. Bun for burger was lackluster like something you get at school and eventually got soggy for being in same container w/ salad. The bun was probably already too soft to withstand that close proximity anyway. Gave it two stars instead of one b/c overall seemed the ingredients were at least not super old and the piece of brownie I had was okay. Maybe some of their other more straightforward items are okay but I won't be back to find out. Once I can tell a place is not cooking with passion and finesse I'm out. This is the lowest review I've ever written on here and am usually giving five stars but that's how disappointed I am, especially after reading the great reviews. Couldn't even finish all the food and felt like my money went to waste.

I’ve been to this establishment for many years, but I was disappointed in Mitchell’s today. I ordered a Chicken Noodle soup because I was feeling under the weather, and when I received my soup, I found a steel wool pad in my soup! Seeing that in my soup just ruined my appetite completely. Absolutely unacceptable. I expected better from this restaurant.
