City Island Diner

“City Island Diner and The Snug are true local treasures. They're owned by the same wonderful people and share a kitchen, but each has its own vibe and hours -- and together they're unbeatable. At the diner, my favorite dish is the Corned Beef Hash breakfast -- classic, satisfying, and done exactly right. The fully loaded chili here is hands-down the best I've ever had. It's rich, hearty, perfectly seasoned, and also shows up in their nachos, which makes them next-level comfort food. Beyond the food, what really sets these places apart is the people. Every server is genuinely kind, welcoming, and deeply plugged into the City Island community. You feel like a regular even on your first visit. Great food, great people, and real local character. City Island wouldn't be the same without them. ”

“This past Saturday I went here with my family for the 1st time and the heavy set Caucasian women I believe she was one of the owners. Greeted every Caucasian table asking how was there food and service. She decided to skip around our table and continue on. The fact was was with a child and she noticed the poor manners of the owner. On top of that, they have one waitress ( Asian) who is very attentive, sweet, and provided great service. She went out front for 5 minutes the same heavy set women told the cashier in front to watch our table. We provided feedback before leaving to the cashier who is also an owner. Simply stated that was surprising. NO APOLOGY!! NOTHING!! I'll never return to this establishment.”

“Cycled 40 miles from south shore Long Island. Got here 9 am and not much options in the area. Spoke to a local jogger and he recommended City Island Diner for its food & comfort. I'm glad I took his advice. Walked in and was politely greeted to an old school diner with counter top seats. I got the front row bar stool facing the cook. Watching the orders come in and the cook dishing out his magic. It's akin to watching a conductor at a symphony. Close your eyes and listen closely to the eggs cracking and being scrambled. You can smell the home fries with peppers & onions. Hear the sizzling of the bacon. My pastrami omelette arrived in a big way. Fantastic flavor & portion. Really enjoyed the meal and especially the hospitality. Loved the venue ”
