One of Island Park's best kept secrets. Great food, affordable prices and understated charm. You'll walk in to a warm hello and inviting smells of a diner.
Amazing breakfast Hero!! Best breakfast sandwich I have had in 51 yrs!!! Then bun was 12" long! And the dough was the most perfect texture consistency and taste! I would choose that roll for any sandwiches I would make if I had a food truck!
The owner is swell and friendly to talk too. However the lead waitress was rude to the customers next to us insisting they sit at the window. They wanted to sit at the counter. I'm not sure why. I think the table at the window needed dishes removed and cleaned but when she offered to clean they went to the counter to sit and she was a bit demanding they were taken back by her demanding. Rather weird. But otherwise she was pleasant enough. Would definitely go back!
Great food. Finger licking good but they don't take cash unfortunately 😔
My father and I ate here almost every morning while working in the area. Any dish we ordered was amazing. The pricing was very reasonable. Service was great and speedy. Great people, great food. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.
Always very good breakfast food served all day in this hole in the wall restaurant. Excellent service
Best breakfast place in america. Long island staple.
I must have passed this place 200 times over the years on deliveries to Long Beach , what a MISTAKE ! This is a great place to eat quick simple breakfast or really incredible burgers and lunch plates for very fair prices . Way better than any fast fake food places in this area . Just be sure to go when open they are small and only a for breakfast and lunch. Great service and the cook is the owner ! Great guy also ... Eat Here !
So happy to have a taste of normal. The food is as delicious as I always remember. Perfect pancakes, and creamy grits with cheese is a must.
The coffee, food, and service were all excellent. Athena was very friendly and offered tons of helpful suggestions for my first trip to NYC. Can't recommend highly enough!
Good spot for breakfast. Tiny dining table area with mostly 2-tops and about an 8-person counter, you will likely have a wait. Food was good, prepared quickly, served hot. Service was polite but a bit terse, like they had to work at being polite. There are other places for breakfast that are as good or better, but probably not as inexpensive, prices were good. Very, very limited parking, you'll likely need to park on the side street, and the challenge of crossing busy Austin Blvd going southbound and not being able to access the parking lot, so having to hang a challenging U-turn, makes it hard to access. Good if you're already in the area, but not worth a special trip.
We love this place. They standout big-time with awesome sandwiches, compared to the onslaught of carbon copy Greek diners. It also won't cost you 40 bucks for breakfast.
This is an old school diner. None of the frills of diners these days. Just basic menu, good food and service at a great price.
Love demis! A staple in the area, food is great for a great price
Been coming to Demi's for a while. Always good food and service.
It doesn't get better than this. The last true luncheonette anywhere around here! Great food, with commentary, prepared by the owner. Nice service, nice people. Everyone talks. A mix of all types. Breakfast or lunch everyday won't break the bank. If you know the difference between real food and the gruel sold at Seven-eleven then this place is for you.

I RARELY give five stars but this place deserves it. Great food, abundant choices, great service and value in this homestyle restaurant. If you're not in a hurry and want to be treated like a regular even at your first visit, I highly recommend. Chicken and waffles, thick french toast, crispy bacon. Yum! The coffee is excellent, too!"
Excellent coffee shop / diner serving awesome breakfast and lunch.
Small counterpoint service, which is very good. Great portions food is delicious
Old school diner feel , Friendly staff, amazing food and pretty generous portions. Can't beat it.
