Old fashioned diner. Small and cozy. Excellent, attentive service; everyone was very warm and friendly. Sat in a booth by the window (we were free to choose), and wee served quickly. Food was just okay. Bathrooms were spotless. I would return. ♿️

A good, old-fashioned diner. Excellent staff and a good variety.
One of the few earing places that you can actually drink the water without the nasty aftertaste.
I’m definitely coming g back to this hidden gem.

What an amazing diner, the place has a very family friendly atmosphere, the interior is original from the 70s. The food is next level delicious, the empire breakfast wrap is my order, eggs perfectly cooked, sausage soft and not chewy, and cheese melty and delicious! Stop by there for a great breakfast, you won’t regret it, service is very fast and friendly too.

Excellent service in a real old school diner. They have all the classic stuff – even the jukeboxes at the table

Absolutely stunning diner, the decor was both nostalgic and classy, down to the individual jukeboxes at the tables. (Wonderful sight, incredibly awesome to be able to flip through the selection! They’re incredibly well maintained, despite their age.)
As for food, we had ordered the super breakfast, and I personally had a two egg meal, over easy, with home fries and bacon. The yolk ran perfectly, and they took great care not to burn the edges, something that happens often when judging a food establishment for the first time. My date said his meal was amazing as well, and all we took home was toast. (A rarity for me, as I’m a light eater!)
The staff are warm and welcoming, and it’s clear they care about their regulars. I instantly felt relaxed and excited to eat since reception, and the ambiance was soothing, hearing the regulars chat and laugh amongst themselves. The staff were also more than understanding about me wishing to finish a coffee I had picked up earlier, and I fully intend to return to try theirs as a thank you. You don’t find that hospitality often!
All in all, this was a wonderful experience, both for a date, and I imagine for a family meal as well. My brunch was amazing today, thanks to Arlene, so if she serves your table, you’re bound to leave full and happy. I’m dying to bring my parents here for a meal, so I’ll let that excitement speak for itself. It’s a one of a kind experience, one that I recommend everyone try at least once.

We enjoyed the food. The service left alot to be desired. There is a lady at the bar that seemed to be very sweet. Luckily she saw a sausage on the floor and asked our waitress if she dropped one. She went to the back and brought one out right to our table. She knew she had dropped it but had no intention of bringing me another one. If the young lady at the bar had not spoken loud enough for us to hear, she probably would not have. The dry “sorry” let me know that she could not have cared less. I will give it another try but that waitress will be off limits.

EMPIRE (diner) STRIKES BACK
At least for me, I mean between the movie and this restaurant; I was full like a wookie.
I would highly recommend the Spinach Fedda Cheese Omelette with home fries, delicious. Omelette looked like a painting (photo enclosed).
Seating tables arrangements and booths comfortable. *Men’s Bathroom, clean with one urinal and one tolid. Ample size parking lot. Steps from the HICKSVILLE LIRR STATION and NICE BUS N80.
I actually had a nice delicious experience. Come hungry and tell them the Guru sent you

I’ve been going to the Empire Diner in Hicksville for over 40 years.. a friend of mine used to drive all the way from Valley Stream in the mid-80s just to get their egg cream. Happy that they now are open till 8:00 p.m. for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. And so grateful that the pandemic did not close this place like many others.. good food and service and they treat you like family. I love the burgers and Greek salads with grilled chicken..

A historical Hicksville diner near Long Island Rail Road train station. Old school chrome and glass decor and each table with it’s own jukebox. Serving classic American breakfast fare. The Omelette and waffles were good. Drinks options were the usual and ofcourse bottomless coffee. Service was friendly.

I’ll be honest with you, this diner doesn’t look like much from the outside. It’s reminiscent of a post apocalyptic hideout. But inside is a very cute old timey diner just the way your grandpa would love. We went on a rainy Sunday and practically had the place to ourselves. My life partner and I each enjoyed our respective meals; her with the vegetable panini and me with the waffles and eggs. Nice place to stop by
