Landmark Diner

When we entered Landmark Diner we weee greeted warmly and taken to a table immediately. Shortly after, the server came with water and the menues. He gave us a reasonable amount of time to make or choices and showed up to take our orders. The food was delivered to our table hot and we didn’t wait too long. The efficiency was top notch. The buffalo wings were delicious and fried just right with the perfect amount of sauce. The calamari tasted fully commercial. The carrot apples and walnut pancakes were not done well. The carrots were chopped instead of grated and it was mostly uncooked and the pancakes were undercooked in the middle. The harsh was excellent with the right amount of crispiness to the potatoes. The omelette was tough and dry. I would go back and try other menu items or the items that I enjoyed. The friendliness and efficience are enough to make me return and recommend to others.

Delicious diner eats. I love how you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner throughout the day. Bananas foster french toast is A+! Plenty of parking available.

I’ve always loved the menu at this diner, but sometimes the food doesn’t quite live up to the hype. Today I ordered a classic BLT for $14, and when it arrived, it literally had two slices of bacon—yes, just one slice per half of the sandwich—loaded with lettuce and tomato. When I took a bite, I could barely taste the bacon at all. My waiter was great, though. When I mentioned the issue, he went into the kitchen and brought me a few extra slices, which I appreciated. Still, I shouldn’t have had to ask. For $14, I expect more. I’ve been to places that charge half that and pile on seven or eight slices of bacon. A BLT should be about the bacon as much as the lettuce and tomato, and this one just missed the mark.

Don’t get the Philly cheesesteak melt, it wont be what you expect , no seasoning, not chopped up like they just put a stack of meat on the grill and flipped it once. Best part of the meal was the fries. It was very dry and i paid $23 for this. Everything else is excellent, i just don’t know what happened here.

Visited this place in the morning time. The first thing I saw was a man who looked really unhappy. After that, we were unfriendly told that we could sit down wherever we wanted. The server was just as unfriendly. I got the impression that the people simply do not want to work there. Although it was pretty empty, the food was decent . The only good thing was the coffee (cappuccino). Do I want to come back here? I don't think so.

staff were nice, food was good 👍 turkey club w/ french fries

Typical LI diner, everything is good, nothing stands out as amazing. Burgers are cooked perfectly and served on a nice brioche bun. Breakfast always got and fresh.

Busy, but overall good food the bullzeye burger with the crispy onions was the perfect brunch. The wife has a mimosa and she downed it before is knew it. The kiddo had the chicken fingers with French fries and he didn't leave a scrap on the plate. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good diner meal in the area.

so many gluten free options!! i was so happily surprised to see gluten free breads and pancakes on the menu so had to get one as a side to my eggs, and it was pretty good! our waiter was extremely friendly and delivered our food fast. he never rushed us and had a very pleasant experience here. i've been here a number of times but now that i know of the gluten free options, i will be back more often!

Very traditional American diner with very good food. The portions sizes are very large and the dishes simple yet delicious! I would recommend trying their French toast - it was extremely scrumptious and soaked with eggs. Each bite led to a flavour explosion with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Decent diner! Fun menu with interesting options and fun names. Generous portion. Relatively reasonable time for food to come out. Tasty, generous portion. Bathrooms needed a little sprucing. Service was fine.

We are going to do a quick update here as this diner certainly still holds up. Not as great as it was last time I went, but I would keep this diner as a full four star spot. Came here initially to dine myself and then was met by my dad. I was seated by the counter at one of the smaller booths, which is great because I love dining in this area usually. Shout out to the woman who actually sat at the counter and ordered a glass of Merlot at 11:25am on a Tuesday. Do we all need to get on her level? Went simple this time and got the cole slaw with pickles and a French onion soup. The cole slaw was solid and the pickles were pretty generic. The French onion soup left something to be desired. It was jammed pack with cheese, onion straws and bread, but it just lacked flavor. The French onion grilled cheese I had on an earlier visit was a lot better and I think that's what I was hoping for. Finally, this diner is on the corner of Searington Road and Northern Blvd. so it's a great spot to meet someone quick for a cup of coffee, or for lunch. Also not too far from St. Francis hospital where there is a lack of food options.

Even by Long Island diner standards, Landmark has a huge menu. You'll definitely find something you want to eat and it will taste great. Service and ambiance are fine. What more can you ask for from a diner?

A really wonderful diner / restaurant. Busy time of day but got a table right away prompt service, coffee continuously full, and the food is always was delicious. Really great size portions and they have takeout containers available. This place truly is a landmark gem.

This diner is so nostalgic! The food is great, service is top notch, and it offers a family friendly atmosphere for large groups!

Sorry Landmark Diner you are definitely a landmark to stay away from.... Or maybe change ya name to Landmine !!! So disappointed; $85 bucks wasted !!!! So we hit this diner at 2:30pm on Friday 11/17/23 Starving from being at ST. francis Hospital since 5:15 AM..... The place was empty just a few customers, as far as their cleanliness 4 out of 5, seemed like a decent diner to eat at..... Wrong !!!!!!! Soup came out with an ant on the dish !! Well done burger came out lukewarm !! Skirt Steak came out warm and totally raw on the thicker side !!! Onion Rings, also came out warm at best !!! Mac & Cheese, Zero taste out of the can & cold !! The waiter wanted to make it right and bring the food back but we were done !!!! The owner then comes over and apologizes and tells us desserts on the house, we were like really the entire bill should have been on the house !! A disgrace of an establishment I actually asked the owner if the dishwasher was doing the cooking ??? because we all know it does happen !!! Stay away, definitely can't and will not recommend !!! Good luck to you Landmark, Hope ya find a real cook soon before this cook puts out of business !!! Thanks for the most horrible food experience me and my wife have ever experienced in our lives !!! Greg D & Family

Full parking lot, but not a full diner. Plenty of empty tables. Walk in and there was a lady in front of us. The lady behind the counter looked at me and my husband and said, 3? I said no 2 and pointed to my husband and myself. She looks at me and points in the direction of the tables so we move toward that way. It seemed like she meant pick any table. She goes ma'am, this lady is ahead of you. I say you looked at pointed at me to go this way. She got defensive and that's what got me defensive. I was honestly ready to walk out if the nice gentleman said follow me no worries we have plenty of tables I'll take you guys over here. Anyway, food was good. Weird that it is costs $4 extra for fries with the chicken Caesar wrap.... Doesn't come with fries at all....

So the diner is very modern and very clean. I really like the design inside. We ordered the chili soup and WOW !! I would drive 2 hours for this chili. The zucchini sticks were also good. The rest of the group were all satisfied. The service was also wonderful and the waitress was so sweet and honest. Wow at this place 5/5

We came here recently with a large party of 40. We were seated on the 2nd floor which may have been quieter than the rest of the restaurant. The diner itself is quite nice, clean, and spacious. The space is a unique layout for a diner. Parking was ample and easy to find. I ordered the flatbread pizza and the cheese blintzes. My spouse ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict. My flatbread looked a bit underwhelming but my son devoured it without hesitation. It's not a lot of slices for $11.95. Someone on Yelp posted a photo of the cheese blintzes. While it's not something I usually order, the blintzes were delicious! Nice thin crepe wrapper, slightly sweet and filled with a mild cheese. My spouse said his English muffin and home fries were burnt. It's too bad because seems like the food can be hit or miss here. The service was attentive and the food came out blazing fast for how we were such a large party with everyone ordering their own separate dishes. Can't say this enough, but order the cheese blintzes! You won't be disappointed.

Food was good, service was fast, and they have a very large selection of different items . Good diner experience

I'm apprehensive about this place. The food is ok for a late night eatery. The staff at night needs help. Extremely forgetful. Don't ask for pickles or coleslaw they want to charge you for these items even though you are ordering dinner and an appetizer. Unheard of for a dinner. Ambiance is ok but not great.

Not the friendliest place. Between the front (the cold greetings) and the waiter... it's not the cozy diner you want. Between Louie's on Plandome and Landmark, Louie's is the place to go. Too bad they close much earlier. Love the people in Louie's. They are the feeling of 'home'.

I dont like giving bad reviews however services was slow, waiter never check up on us, food portions are small, patty melt bread was extremely soggy, burger wall small and greasy. Also have had stomach issues post eating here. Place is also dark inside. Wont go back. And for three people $88 is too pricey im sorry.

Food is average at best Service was non-existent to the point of practically rude/hostile. Waited 5 full minutes to even be greeted upon walking in and there was no one in the place. Ambiance was depressing, dark and cold .

The food was so fresh. It's the little things like how fresh and crisp the lettuce was in my delicious turkey wrap, and truly the best pancakes I've had in years. A lot of diners have gone down in quality but this place has kept it up. Definitely coming back.

I've been dining here for many years. Finally had enough. Had an issue with my meal and after the waiter could have handled it with ease, I asked to speak to the manager. She is the older lady with dirty blonde hair that's always by the counter. She was condescending, rude and had zero people skills with a nasty attitude. I tried to be polite and respectful only to be immediately responded to in a condescending manner. Not acceptable to a paying customer who's trying to be as respectful as possible. I've noticed this diner has gone downhill for a while but put up with it. I don't know about you but there's plenty of nice diners close by with much better service, definitely better food and nicer portions. Also, I the prices have gone up and while I understand that happens in business, at lease provide reasonable portions along with the increase. Let's just say the more I've ordered off that menu, some dishes are ok while many others are insulting to put in front of a customer. Nasty attitudes, inflated prices and embarrassing portions is more than enough a reason to go elsewhere.

Food was bland and overpriced. Service was mediocre, at best. Waiter couldn't keep water glasses filled. The place is nice though---fortunately the seating was comfortable. Not recommended. Much better diners on Long Island

It wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either. We went close to closing time we were rushed. Food in its haste was over cooked. The gravy for the fries atrocious. Maybe on a normal time where they cared about customer over closing they'd do better who knows.

Loved going to Landmark diner. I'll keep this short. The food was excellent- waitress took our order- we were seated upstairs. We were shorted toast with our omelette. Our waitress was nowhere in sight. We told two bus boys. Never saw the toast. The waitress NVER showed up again to ask if everything was Ok. At the end of our meal we told her and she basically shrugged her shoulders. My husband used the restroom before we left and said it was filthy. Wouldn't take much for one of the workers to wipe it down.

We got to the diner about 9 pm. The hostess just told us to sit anywhere and never even brought us menus. After awhile, the waitress finally came over and saw that we didn't have any menus. She finally brought us some. We felt bad for her, because she was having difficulty walking. She finally took our orders. When the food came, my friend had asked for the salad dressing on the side. They brought the salad, but no dressing. I had to get up and find the waitress to get the dressing. The food was great, but not the service. I had been there before and didn't have any issues. Will not be going there at night again.

It was a nice bustling diner. Very crowded. Lots of room. Let us sit and talk. Food was ok. Very convenient.

I'll start my review this way, the best brown gravy I've had in a diner in years. For me,it's an important criteria to judge a diner. The omelette was great. So was the French onion soup and the wraps. Excellent service especially on Mother's Day. We will be back very soon.

Good diner food. Everything hits the way you would expect. Staff is busy but does their best. Pastries and pies are classical NY diner. If you know, you know!

I've been coming to this diner on and off for years. But this was my last time. I agree with the other posts. It's gotten way overpriced. You might as well go to a restaurant. We ordered the mousaka, turkey club w/ sweet potato fries, a cup of soup (but a mid-size bowl came), and coffee. Total bill was $57, $67 with tip. Almost $70. We might as well have gone to a restaurant for that price for two people. The mousaka special was $18.95. It was good, but that's all that came was the mousaka. No salad, not even a vegetable. I've been going to diners for 40 years and I've never seen a dinner not come with salad or a vegetable. Everything is ala cart now. The tukery club was $16.95 for just the sandwich. It doesn't come with fries. Sweet potato fries were an extra $3.95 and they were so soggy, they were inedible. I should have asked for them to take the price off for them because I didn't eat them. Drive a little further down the road and go to the Greenvale Townhouse. That's where we usually go. The food is much better, and you will get soup or salad and vegetable with your dinner. And fries will come with your turkey club. No extra charges. You will probably go home with a doggy bag. And your bill will probably be about $20 less.

Quintessential diner. Staff is accommodating and service is quick. I ordered one of the daily specials which was stuffed peppers with a side of soup or salad. I opted for the chicken noodle soup. Food was homey. Simple flavors that should agree with anyone one. They had three beers on draft (all macros). Diner has two levels and the upper level is open in the middle so you can look to the lower level similar to a mezzanine.

Let me start by saying if it was possible to leave this place 0 star, I 100% would. I came here on a Monday morning for a private breakfast that I booked for 50 people upstairs at the Landmark Diner. The manager Sandy assured me multiple times that everything will be taken care, and not to worry, we would love to have your group, AKA rob us blind. My first mistake was not having this in writing, I actually wish we had a contract in place so I can actually prove to Sandy that she lied to me over the phone. You can only imagine my shock when I showed up with my family of 50 people, only to find out that what we agreed to on the phone was not what we were going to get in the diner. The only ounce of truth Sandy mention was that we would be on the 2nd floor of the diner. The only reason it was a "private area" was because no one was in this dump at 10:00am on a Monday morning. The reservation was supposed to be that Landmark Diner would charge me $20 per person plus 20% gratuity and tax for a buffet of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes and waffle. Sounds like a great price right? Well when we arrived at 10am and there is no breakfast buffet in sight. I asked the waiter when and where the buffet will be set up, and he looked at me confused saying let me speak to the manager. In comes Sandy and she said there is no buffet, according to her "we never agreed on a buffet" I looked at her and said are you serious right now? So what are you charging me $20++ for? She said for one of the three choices: she wanted all the guests to choose between: an order of pancakes, or waffles, or 2 eggs any style with breakfast meat and toast. I said to her, with all due respect, in which world are pancakes $26 when you factor in gratuity and tax? Pancakes at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California aren't even that much. She said well those are our prices here. I was screwed, there was no way I could pick up and make 50 of my guests get up and go somewhere else for breakfast. Sandy did not seem to care, her attitude just kept getting worse and worse as I tried to reason with her. I tried to explain to her that what she did is wrong and she kept saying if you don't like it, you can leave. Trust me if I could have left I would have saved myself the embarrassment, inconveniencing my family and not given this place a penny of my hard earned money. Call it a misunderstanding but if I knew this was going to be the price I would have never came here. I thought that was going to be the last of the problem, that we would finally just get our breakfast, but of course to further kick me while I am down, Sandy decided to only give us 1 waiter for 50 people. The poor guy was running like a chicken with his head cut off. Sandy not caring for her staff, basically threw him to a pack of wolves, while she just went back downstairs and hung out by the entrance. If she was even remotely close to being a good manager, she would either send another waiter or two to help him, or she would help him herself. Now its around 10:45am, I had four people leave because it was taking way too long to be served. No one has had their order taken, this poor waiter was asking people what they wanted, then he would have to run to the kitchen and put it in. Finally, I found Sandy again and I said how could you just send 1 waiter up for 50 people, she said a second waiter will be right up. It was not until 11:25am until food started coming out, all everyone wanted to do is just wanted to get the hell out of there. Sandy of course was no where to be seen upstairs to make sure everything was ok. I went down to the hostess stand wanting to pay just so I can get out of this nightmare. At this point, I am mentally drained, she ends up charging me for 60 people when it actuality we were only 50, I barely ate, but I was in no mood to go back in forth with her. Maybe the Landmark Diner can use the extra $250 they made off of me to clean their upstairs area because it was absolutely flithy. Or here is a better idea, take the $250 and send Sandy to a class on hospitality and customer service. She could a tune up in how to treat people. I hope other people see this review and think twice about hosting a larger gathering a the Landmark Diner.

- Food was fine. Mediocre at best and a little overpriced. - Was visiting the local area on a business trip and came to this diner to catch up on emails and have breakfast.... NO WIFI. It's 2023!!! No wifi? That is absolutely archaic. - Toast doesn't come buttered and they only give one jelly. I had to hound the waiter for 10 minutes just to get one more jelly. Overall, wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. This established isn't going to stay a "Landmark Diner" if they can't keep up with the times. Wifi and buttered toast seems pretty standard for diners these days. Won't be returning.

I read the negative reviews and was a little weary. However, I am so glad I did not get persuaded to not go by them. I had the eggs Benedict. They were cooked perfectly, with delicious hollandaise sauce, juicy Canadian bacon, and a crispy, but fresh English muffin. The hashbrowns were also crispy, tasty, and delicious. My mother had the bananas Forster. The French toast was fluffy and tasty, and the bananas were sweet with the delicious Forster sauce. The coffee was hot and fresh. It was an excellent meal.

I went out of my way driving for better service and quality food towards a good neighborhood. I was wrong. Especially because the food wasn't good. The waiter served us and disappeared.

Visit Date: March 3, 2022 I came here to visit my girlfriend who works here before heading out to karaoke. I wanted to visit her diner at least one time although I'll be back again. They have a small option on the menu called the vegan box which I was interested in. I want to try mostly everything but for the night I went I tried the vegan scramble. It came with home fries. I thought it came with toast but I didn't get any toast and tofu scrambled with veggies. I threw some ketchup on that plate, a lot of ketchup because that's how I roll and ate that shit like I was shoveling down an omelet and home fries. I loved the vegan scramble and look forward to trying other stuff from the vegan portion of the menu when I come back again. Definitely visit the landmark and if you happen to be served by my friend who doesn't want her named to be shared tip her well. You can just ask her if she's friends with Diana if you go and you happen to get a female waitress.

The food here is fine. If the review were based on food alone it would be a 3/3.5. It tastes like diner food, but it is mid at best. This would be fine if the menu weren't outrageously overpriced. This diner charges prices where you'd expect a more premium and tasty experience, and serves food that is often only okay. The service could be far better. Especially at the front, I've never had a pleasant encounter with any of the men behind the counter. Landmark diner is well known in the area, but they have been riding on that fame ever since they remodeled. Some suggestions? Stop overcharging your customers for sub par food, provide a product that stands out, and tell your male staffers to say hello instead of grunting at a mom and her kids. You guys can do WAY better.

Ordered 2 eggs scrambled that comes with home fries and toast. The eggs were scrambled but in small little pieces. It's like they chopped it up. Almost sent it back but decided not to. Home fries were extremely small portion and super thin, also flavorless. Changed out toast for a toasted English muffin. This was an upcharge of $2.50 and I had to put the butter on. English muffin wasn't hot by the time it got to the table so the butter wouldn't melt into the nooks and crannies. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my coffee. Totally overrated diner. So many better out there

My wife & I are looking for breakfast in Nassau county. We find a good old fashioned diner in the heart of Roslyn. First off, This place is huge! With the current dining restrictions in place, we're asked if we'd like to sit outside. I'm looking for a inside booth so the hostess seated us in a large booth. I'm in a mood for something funky! There are so many pancake, French toast and egg choices. I spy with my little eye, Blintzers? They're frozen, from out of a box that you'd get from a supermarket. Still, it reminds me of my mom, something she'd make for me when I was a kid. My wife ordered an egg white omelet with rye toast. Both items were cooked perfectly, nothing we ordered was a culinary stretch. Landmark Diner is open, it's a nice place to sit and have some comfort diner food.

Came here for breakfast this AM. Eggs were cooked perfect - I ordered over easy. Sausage was good too. My son enjoyed his pancakes and we also ordered steak and eggs which was enjoyed. Will be back when I'm in the area.

Really enjoy coming to this diner. A bit outta the way but worth going to. I have to safe the diner is huge. Two levels. I want to say it is one of the cleaner and well kept diners. The food they serve has always been up to par. I often come with my wife, family and friends. Everyone that has come have always had good things to say. The service if decently quick and comes out nice and hot. Service would also be very good. I really like the home fries they serve here. Not soggy and mushy but nicely done. The sausage is not the smaller breakfast type that are normally dried up from a lot of diners that I have had. They also have a bunch of specialty items that I have to say are very good. Keep up the good work!

I like this place if I'm going to be traveling in this direction. I've been here very early in the morning and Ive been here in the afternoon. Preferred the morning but the food is good either way.

If you're interested in leaving a restaurant and feeling like you've been nickel-and-dimed for absolutely everything, this is the place for you! If you order a grilled chicken wrap, which is on the menu, don't worry because when the bill comes you'll be charged an extra $1.80 for the "tortilla". If you ask your server if the sandwiches come with fries, and they say yes, don't worry because when the bill comes you'll be charged an extra $3.50 per sandwich per person for "FF". If you order pancakes or french toast, and expect it to come with syrup, don't worry because it'll be so watery it'll run off the pancakes before it even gets to your mouth. If you're going to charge significantly more than any other diner on Long Island, at least make your quality worth it.

Today I tried the Tuesday special, lentil soup and Hungarian Goulash. The soup was nothing special, but the goulash was delicious... exceptionally soft, fat free, large cubes of beef in a matching gravy on top of hot fresh noodles. Impressive. Yesterday it was brunch... whole wheat banana pancakes with sugar-free syrup. Excellent. Thick slices of melted banana in dark, tasty wheat. I've been visiting St. Francis Hospital, just a few blocks down the road and, to me, the Landmark is a way better choice than hospital cafeteria food. As I said last time, it's a stand-out diner ... three times there, every time very good.

Wow cool! Showed up too early to the long awaited miracle mile thang they do in LI or 5th ave but NOPE you have to eat and GPS brings you here. I walked in to no one wanting to seat us, sure fine great, so I'll have my sandwich and peace out but nope! Wife has to have the chili (cause she figured she from Vegas so wtf right?) well pretty wack...honestly, didn't look or taste cooked, dumped the onions at the last minute and was visually obvious. Yea.....it lasted this long but as soon as this lease is up they're gone...you can get substance at a better place just 5 minutes away. Don't bother I wasn't greeted very well either...wish I can give props but can't ‍

My spinach and feta omelette was dry and not as tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Everyone was pretty satisfied with their food but it wasn't the best

Their Greek salad is amazing. Everything was fresh: lettuce, onions, tomato, cucumber, green pepper and we cannot forget about the FETA CHEESE.

Halfway through my meal I saw a giant roach in my food. Extremely rude staff. I am NEVER going back.

Great diner with great diner food. The menu is as varied as you'd expect from a traditional Long Island Diner. Our party of 7 was seated right away and everyone loved the food. My only disappointment was with the fried calamari appetizer - not good. But the main course made up for it. The Jack Daniels burger was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I opted for sweet potato fries and they were cooked perfectly.

Food is always good no matter what you order.. like a real diner should be. This is a real diner lol. Excellent service, especially how attentive the wait staff is. I will always continue to go here whenever I'm in the area.

I've read many reviews complaining about the service. I've had no issues with the service. Our server came to us quickly even though the place was packed. The food was decent, not fantastic, not terrible. The coffee was (synonymous to donkey). This was enough to lower a star. It just tasted like stale coffee water where the ground were reused. It reminded me of cardboard (msg me if you want to know why I know what liquid cardboard tastes like). I also took off another because of them ambiance. It's just really dark in there. It was a bit depressing eating in that dark dining hall despite how many people and chatty everyone was. I would come again but wouldn't go out of my way.

This diner made such a great sunnyside up because they listened to my needs and preferred a well-done bottom. Tada! It happened! They even decorated my eggs to look sideways. Wow! My eggs had two eyes looking to the left! Isn't that awesome or what? You can't make this stuff up. Hubby also ordered some pancakes to try. It wasn't bad, but it's not the best we've ever had. We saved some pancakes for the next day. The place is quite spacious, suitable to accommodate people who like the extra space. I think my mother-in-law would enjoy eating here so we'll take her here one day.

Ugh I struggle to give them one or two stars. I love The interior! Probably one of the prettiest diner I've ever been. The service was good. My child loves the variety of pancakes they offer and she loved her pancakes. I got a pizza burger and French fries. Fries are salty (not surprised). The burger was delicious. When I got home, I had a terrible diarrhea which left me with pain in the belly for a few hours! Very disappointed. Really want to love this place. Maybe I will try safer options next time
