The food was spectacular the chef really took his time in making this delicious Hawaiian chicken dinner. The atmosphere as always was a great vibe and the service was outstanding. Cleo the waitress has a wonderful personality and she is fast and precise.

The food here is ok but the customer service is terrible I've been coming here for a while but definitely has declined over the years. I called to place a pick up order. The girl that answered the phone was confused about what I was ordering clearly but didn't state that and the gave the phone to someone else who was the manger which I then had to repeat my order , after I asked the manger to repeat the order back to me he told me " I got your order" and the laughed I'm confused on what's funny when I'm trying to confirm my order is right so I won't have any issue. Then when I came in the restaurant I addressed him about his customer service and he's telling me how he has 9 people he has to attend to as if I'm not a paying customer just like the people that are dining in, These are the things that push customers away from supporting these establishments and management definitely isn't setting the example for staff.

First time visiting from Connecticut and we had an overall great experience... Food was tasty and the environment really chill... Thanks for the good service!!!

Service was awful. Absolutely distasteful. Our server Mary was not intent on giving patience, not speaking up and thus getting irritated when WE couldn’t hear HER, the menu apparently is not written correctly if I can order a hot chocolate but you can only get one size unless it’s takeout-WHICH IT DOESN’T SPECIFY, made a comment on the food we were ordering in comparison to our group, never checked on us, ignored me the first time I tried to let her know we needed the bill so I needed to try again-EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT US, and lastly I had to go up to pay the bill when usually someone comes to handle the transaction. As a former waitress and someone who has worked other customer service jobs, this was not it. I would 100% not operate like that and have never. The food was not as great as it was last week, either. The service alone will not allow me to return after being a frequent visitor of 8 years! Hard pass for me.

What an adventure in disappointment. Been coming to this diner over 40 years. Brought grandma and daughter for dinner.<br><br>Gramma ordered omelette with hash browns. It came with two over-fried dollar store frozen hash browns.<br><br>My gyro platter came with over-fried onion rings and the gyro lamb was hard enough to eat as jerky.<br><br>But over 40 years, you can’t expect perfection every time.<br><br>However..<br><br>When I bought this to the attention of the waiter, his response was “ I only serve the food. “ He said he’d bring the manager who never came.<br><br>No offer to take anything off the $82 bill. I paid at the counter and said I wouldn’t pay to for service and food. Cashier turned away completely indifferent.<br><br>I used to take clients and public officials to eat here.<br><br>NEVER AGAIN!!!<br><br>Classic on Jamaica and Esquire on Woodhaven will graciously have my business from now on.

After arriving at JFK very late, and not having been served any food on the flight, I was absolutely famished. Since it was already past midnight when I walked into the Atlantic Diner, I figured I’d just have something simple: a couple of eggs, some toast, and bacon.<br><br>To my surprise, a massive plate landed on our table (see photo). It came with six strips of bacon, a generous serving of country potatoes, two slices of toast, and what was supposed to be two scrambled eggs, but I’m pretty sure it was more like five!<br><br>OMG, it was a huge breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the service was excellent. I definitely plan to go back while I’m in New York.

Added: a photo and -<br>I did eat one egg and english muffin, none of the sauce or the feta cheese. I had put it all to the side of the plate. Unfortunately, I only took one photo. I had asked the manager for half price not full price discount but he gave me full. As expressed below, he was nice about it and I am thankful.<br><br>I give them 3 stars because they refunded me the main dish that I ordered, which honestly was the worst egg dish I've ever had in my life without exaggeration. I sincerely think management needs to reevaluate their egg dishes, particularly the one I will describe under.<br><br>Service was kind; the server tried to accommodate me. Manager was nice too and respected how terrible their egg dish was. Right now, I've forgotten the name but it's the egg dish that comes with a cheese-like sauce (at least in this place__other places dont have so much yellow cheese added to the sauce) , boiled egg, english muffin on the bottom, and feta cheese, which was interesting. This was not my first time having this dish, and typically, I've enjoyed it. However, their yellow sauce is absolutely horrible. I can't even put words into it past, horrible.

The Turkey Burger was a bit of a letdown. While it looked appetizing and was a decent size, the patty was too dry, making the overall experience less enjoyable. Maybe fresh ground Turkey can be used instead of ore made burger patties since you can't eat this medium.<br><br>The Steak and Eggs was excellent! The steak was cooked perfectly medium well—juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. Paired with eggs cooked to my preference, it made for a hearty, satisfying meal. This is a dish I would definitely recommend.<br><br>The cheeseburger was fantastic. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions on a soft bun made every bite delicious. It’s exactly what you want from a classic diner cheeseburger.<br><br>The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to accommodate requests, making the dining experience even better!

Great parking. The food was ok.. the waitress got our order wrong, but we ignored it because it was probably a rough day for her. The fish I had was pretty good.

I enjoyed my visit here. Overall, the restaurant was neat and clean and well-maintained.<br>My food was hot and fresh and enjoyable.<br>I deducted stars because...<br>1) The parking lot is a mess. It looks like it is being repaired, but for my visit, it is a disaster.<br>2) Cleaning supplies left out in the hallway in customers' view.<br>3) My drink sat empty on my table until after our meal was finished.<br>4) I was disappointed to learn that EVERY refill for soda is another $3.00.<br><br>Overall, it was a nice experience.

I took my sister out here for an amazing early morning dinner. It was awesome. Thanks to you all for that.. I am recommending this establishment with the highest honor. Mind you, all goods are baked on site. In the house, how cool 😎 is that.

The location is good and they have parking. Customer service was great!<br>Great environment to sit and chat and the environment was clean. The food quantity was very good but wasn’t very flavorful. It was very dry and my coleslaw had something I bite felt like sandlike.

I really wonder how this place has so much 5 star reviews to be honest because my one star review is only because it's the lowest I'm allowed to give on Google. I decided to go to this place because it's in my neighborhood and the icing on the cake was that I went here for my birthday to have dinner. To start with, it seemed as though the waitress was trying to rush us to place an order, however it was a lot of us and they have a big menu so obviously it would take a while. I ordered the half chicken with stuffing, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The apps we got were calamari, Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. The calamari was stiff and chewy, Buffalo wings was literally dry, fried wings and the mozzarella sticks were very salty. The mashed potatoes were tasteless and the broccoli had no taste as well. My brother ordered the steak well done but it was burnt, hard and tasteless. Unfortunately, it seems as though none of their food has any taste. But here's the best part, when my food arrives on the table, it has an egg shell and a carrot root in it. I requested the manager and tried to explain to him that my family and I want a refund on my plate as well as their plates seeing that they didn't start to eat yet. My family honestly were not going to eat their food after seeing what was in my plate as they are obviously prepared in the same kitchen. He immediately gets angry and starts quarreling. He honestly should learn some manners, especially being the manager of a FOOD place with the fault being on HIS side. We grew tired of the arguing and soon settled the bill, a whopping $200 and yet none of us even got to eat and we surely were not going to carry home any of that food. I honestly wish I could've given this place negative stars especially because of the nasty attitude the owner has. This was the absolute worst birthday ever.

Great local diner.<br><br>Establishment was clean and the staff very courteous.<br><br>Pro: Food was delicious and made fairly quick.<br><br>Con’s: there was a bad piece of bell pepper in my salad which should have been cut out as it was non edible.<br><br>Lunch for a family of 4 was about $80.<br><br>I’d definitely visit again though:
