We were just leaving a graduation ceremony and wanted to grab a quick and small bite to eat before dinner later that night. We were greeted by warm, friendly staff who accommodated our larger group (7 of us) and moving tables and chairs around so we all could sit comfortably. Everything we ordered also came out promptly and accurately. Nothing had to be taken back to be reheated or corrected. We only got some appetizers and small entrées, but they were very delicious and cooked to perfection. I ordered a pizza burger with French fries, medium rare cook on the "burg". The burger was cooked perfectly, the mozzarella cheese was nice, the fries were fried a nice golden brown, and the cocktail sauce for the fries was great. I also asked for Mushrooms on the burger since its not part of the order, and they came through. The marinara sauce was odd. It was runny, darker red (almost the color of BBQ sauce) and didnt look right at all, but the flavor was there and then some. I was very impressed with how good the flavor was on the marinara considering the texture was weird, to say the least. Having said that, in the end, flavor is what counts and not presentation or texture. Overall, I give Harvest Diner a 5/5 stars, which I dont do often. For a quick pit stop, the food was great and the wait staff treated us as if we were spending hundreds of dollars vs $50-$60. When we come back to Long Island to visit family again, I will definitely look forward to my return visit to try some Red Velvet Cake that we missed out on due to time constraints.

Heres my experience / you be the judge. I was waited on by a very young and inexperienced waiter. I had a bad feeling about him when he arrived with my sandwich without any pickles or cole slaw - being a long-time diner eater, I knew that should come with any sandwich without me having to request it. Next, the cole slaw came spoiled, no problem, he took it back. He never once returned to tell me anything about the cole slaw or offer me anything else (i.e. potato salad, extra pickles, etc.). Not that the cole slaw is such a big deal, but its the principle; so I walked over and approached the also very young manager (owners family?) to explain the situation - he listened very courteously (and told me "they are fixing the cole slaw" - I didnt know cole slaw could break), but also did not offer me anything, and I noticed that when he walked away, he was shaking his head in disbelief (that I was making a stink about it). I told him that his staff is unprofessional, joking around, not checking on customers, etc. but he seems the same way (young & non-caring) since he seems to spend a lot of his time fraternizing with his staff around the cash register area. Not good. My meal ended and I was never offered anything else, just a thank you and have a nice day.

Though I like booths, their decor needs updating. The check pattern is similar to that of an old bbq joint. There were three of us dining and the two soups and one salad should have been served at the same time. Instead, one of our party had nothing while the other two waited and one soup chilled before the other came out. Patrons should not be served pre-formed frozen buger patties. How difficult is it to form fresh ground meat into a burger and slap it on the grill? One of us got beef and another got a turkey burger. The only difference was the amount of time they were tanning under the sun lamps. The sweet potato fries were greasy, but I did enjoy the water.

My family and I recently ate at the Harvest Diner in Westbury. We often eat out with our friends and family. By far the Harvest Diner is the best diner we have gone to. The staff was excellent, professional and consistently asked us if everything was to our liking. How could it not be? We were a party of 10 and each of us ate different things. The hamburgers were sooooo delicious; the steaks were cooked to perfection; the salads were not only picture perfect but tasted just as good. The diner is beautifully decorated and spotless. It is not your average diner--it is a high class restaurant without the prices. Go and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

I like the food. However today was the first time in my life I left without tipping. The waiter was terrible. He was pretty much doing the "if I dont make direct eye contact with you, you are not there" move". I asked for the check and didnt get it until after 25 minutes during which time I tried everything to get his attention, including actually waving my hand. He would literally avoid looking at me, and he walked right by me while I tried to talk to him twice. He wasnt apologetic and forgot to ask us how are meal is. All in all today I was very disappointed.but generally they have good breakfast food

I was seated right away which was the best part. The waiter was able to bring my coffee right away but took an extra 5 to 7 mins to bring my water. The soup came before my water. The soup was good, the chicken sandwich wasnt bad but the potato salad was bland and mushy. Felt like i was eating slop. The waiter never came with my check. I waited 10mins after my table was cleared and decided to just walk up and pay. The hostess who was very nice, asked if i never received my check. It seemed she felt this was common. Beautiful dinner in terms of property but the service was poor.

They shortened their hours since remodling so late-night food is no longer a given here -- you have to call to make sure theyre still open, first. Times are tough though so that is understandable. The owner is an absolutely great guy and tries very hard, it trickles down to his staff which is always polite and speedy. Youre not expecting a gourmet dinner at a roadside diner -- but this place meets expectations and is reasonibly priced, especially considering the large portions.

Ive been coming to this diner since I was a child so perhaps, for nostalgias sake, this rating is a bit more than this diner deserves. Nonetheless, pleasant environment and generally friendly staff. A recent menu change has reduced available dish options, but there is still something for everyone. We enjoy coming here after a late night for the chicken nuggets, waffle fries, french dip and the stuffed french toast. Plenty of healthy options as well with an impressive salad list.

This is the best diner I have ever been to The food is amazing The service is top notch The waiters are friendly and work quick and well The tables are big and the chairs are nice and comfy It looks nice when you walk in The plates are big too so its easier to eat unlike some dinners that have small plates and some of the food can fall off easily Love this dinner and would recommend 10 Stars if I could

This is my goto diner. They are a bit more upscale than your regular diner but the prices are completely justified. They are open relatively late and portions are enormous. They have some really good specials on the weekend. This is a great place to go to be it a hungry weekday night or a weekend time out with family. I love it and I keep going back for more!
