Terrace Diner

I frequently judge local diners by their Greek pizza 🍕 and this diner didn't disappoint! I like the cheese nice and crispy 😋, the spinach filling was robust but could've used a little more feta 😉 . I enjoyed this Greek Pizza with a side of marinara and crispy and hot fries 🍟. I had a very pleasant time.

It’s a shame to write this review as we loved this diner for many years. The last three takeout orders we received were completely wrong. First time, I understand that mistakes happen. Second time, was shocked and let them know when I went to go pick up what was left behind. Third time, unacceptable and the manager did nothing to make it right. When a business does something wrong, they should offer anything they can to win a customer back, especially one who has been a loyal customer for years. The manager asked us what we wanted him to do and when we said we weren’t coming back again to fix their mistake, they had no other options for us and after saying we aren’t coming back as customers, he said okay and hung up the phone. Really? Maybe you should be more accodomating and willing to fix your mistakes. First time we were charged for a double cheeseburger, received a single. Second time we asked for extra sauce the wrap came completely dry. Third time asked for Manhattan clam chowder, received Matzo Ball. Maybe they can learn a lesson and have someone check the takeout orders before bagging them up. This was even after I checked my order before leaving, seeing everything was finally right and saying “oh the soup must be right, how hard can that be?” Boy was I wrong, and boy do I NOT recommend this diner for the level of service and lackluster way of properly making and bagging take-out orders.

Highly recommend the motzah balls soup, pancakes, burgers, and rice pudding!

A Diner is a Diner is a Diner... most of the time. So what separates the good from the best? Is it the greeting upon arrival, the staff, the atmosphere, the seating, the food? All these things have a cumulative effect but ultimately the food is a biggie that's for sure. Terrace Diner pretty much checks all the boxes! Our meals were good, the Greek Salad with chicken was full of goodies ( olives, tomatoes, red onions, feta, cucumber, peppers stuffed grape leafs) and plenty too, even could share (see pic's). The Swiss Burger and fries was okay, the burger meat didn't seem the best quality(certainly not the wagyu variety) , but it was a craving and hit the spot at the moment. This is what Diners are all about, salads, burgers, fries, soup, coffee breakfast, oh and rice pudding are typical items to order and the Terrace Diner filled the order for us. Try it out and let me know.

The burger with the egg tasted great. My friend had the farmer's omelet whicj was also tasty. Definitely a good spot.

My husband, my mother & I went for a late breakfast last Saturday at the Terrace Diner in West Babylon. We have gone there before. but not very often. That morning a waitress gave my husband a nasty look when we sat down. Three other groups of people were served before us, but no one came to take our order. My husband thinks it was about color. I would like to think that’s not what it was. Nevertheless, we left after about 20 minutes of waiting to place an order & we went to Infinity Diner on 109. That was a lovely experience in contrast to the negative one a the Terrace Diner.

Delicious, courteous and fast. Great atmosphere and comfortable seating. Food made to perfection and great coffee. Service was great and it was busy. He man pancakes were the best. Update: I recommend the Vegetable Omelette with square deep fried potatoes and turkey bacon. The rye toast is excellent, as well.

Typical diner fare/atmosphere. Ordered a BLT and it was fine. Everyone else at my large table seemed more than satisfied with their meal. Service was top notch.

Typical old school long island diner. Food was okay, nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Most diners do offer something before the meal comes like coleslaw and a pickle, or pasta salad or something similar, nothing here. That was disappointing. Service was good. I'd come back if I was in the neighborhood but otherwise wouldn't go out of my way.

I've been coming to the Terrace diner for nearly 50 years. That alone should speak for itself. The service and food have always been above all other diners. Big shout out to Cynthia, who always provide too notch service. It's good to see the same faces year after year running and serving this place. It shows how good the management must be by keeping their staff happy year after year.

Stopped in for a Friday night dinner. Sat at the counter water was brought right away. Chose the Southwest Chicken Panini , with fries, coleslaw, and deli pickle. The sandwich was very tasty. I liked the fried inion strips on the sandwich. Adds an extra layer of goodness. The sauce had just the right amount of zing. The coleslaw was a sweet creamy style. I found the flavor very enjoyable. There was a good portion of fries. For dessert I had the Reeses Peanut Butter, was a good way to end the meal. I liked the layout and feel of the diner. I would stop by again when I am in the area. I would recommend the Terrace Diner.

Cheesecake was the best I ever had anywhere! The hostess or manager highly recommended it and so glad she did. I may go back and buy a whole cheesecake for Easter! Wow!

Quick, delicious, true Long Island atmosphere. No complaints.

I had the breakfast sandwich here, eggs are cooked very well and it is better than most egg sandwiches I have had. They only lost a star because their staff seems drained of life, I don't know if it because I come in during peak hours or something but they have no interest in conversation at all. The place itself is pretty nice, nothing to complain about, but nothing to brag about.

Everything went well until I was charged a 4% for using my credit card to this moment I'm still shocked I can't believe I was charge this much for using my credit card

The food was absolutely terrible is was like eatting rub chicken would not come here again and the staff was pretty much invisible

It was packed. Ordered a Veggie Wrap and it was literally 5 inch long. Tasteless. My Greek Salad (a sprinking of Feta cheese on a garden salad) was a $2 supplement replacing fries. Asked upon leaving why they didn't have lamb gyros, the owner told me, with a Greek accent,"Go to Greece" if I wanted that. My guests got a Pastrami and a Cuban sandwich. $60 with the tip for 3 mediocre sandwichs.

Great burgers and they're huge! Yummy fries and I really enjoyed the coleslaw too which is always a plus at a diner

UPDATE!!!! This has been my go to diner for quite awhile because the food is always good & it's around the corner from my house. But my Dad who lives 2 towns over keeps raving about the marinated rib eye they call the cowboy. I was off work & he was passing by my house. So family breakfast time! Wowza Wowza Wowza! He was right on the money. I'm usually not a fan of marinated steaks in restaurants. They always seem to be too sweet. Not here! It was perfectly seasoned & cooked medium rare just how I asked. Hats off to the chef. Now my roumanian steak has competition! And shout out to Donna our waitress! Excellent at what she does! Thanks Donna! 11-15-16

Been here quite a few times and their food was always pretty good. This time I ordered the cowboy marinated ribeye steak medium rare. It came out exactly as I had ordered it very tender juicy and oh what a wonderful flavor from the marinade My wifey ordered the marinated prime rib which also came out exactly as ordered Juicy and Delicious. I was surprised that I could get 2 steaks that was so delicious from a diner my hat's off to the chef And I have to give them credit for their cheese cake and carrot cake that were both moist and delicious. My hat's off to Teddy our waiter who was very friendly and attentive and make sure our order came out perfect. I would definitely go back again even if it was just for the steaks

California must learn the sweet experience of a traditional Diner **** Amazing **** BLT was finger licking good A must stop and enjoy

3 bland, under portioned meals, French frys cold and soggy, blt with extra bacon served with the base of the stem in the tomato, and with barley enough bacon to fit on one side. shorten the menu and stop waisting peoples time and money.

I would give the diner an overall 4 but it does break down!! 5 for customer service is a definitely. I've ordered to pick up food a bunch of times. At times it's at odd hours also or near closing when we want food but get lazy! At times they have forgotten or didn't do something as asked but they always make it up for you. My big thing is im allergic to red onion so when I order things I make lots of changes. When I order salads I basically take one of there's but make it my own. They are usually perfect and only once I got the onion but I just took it off. The baked clams are delicious! I totally recommend that! The hot open turkey sandwich is another winner. It's real turkey! Not too dry and usually comes with stuffing which is like having thanksgiving any night. For me I get my salads and add the turkey! I've definitely ordered more times than I've check in because I was soooo occupied with eating - then left in a food coma :) hehe They have great options and the portions are great as well. To get fresh food late night is always hard to find unless it's in my kitchen!

I love this diner! Every time I have friends from out of state, I always recommend we go to the Terrace Diner. It is an amazing experience from the second you walk in the door. Olivia, at the front is such a nice and helpful cashier and the other girls are great too! If you find yourself around the area, I suggest you stop in and grab a burger- they're the best!

Our neighborhood diner is within walking distance, but we have noticed big changes in their food preparation, etc. So we had no choice, but to look elsewhere. So once more,Yelp to the rescue and we ended up here. The decor is typically what you expect from a diner. Our waitress was very nice, but she lacked a little in the attention dept. A good burger and a good tasting gravy for my fries is what I always look for in a great diner and Terrace Diner did not disappoint! My hubby also enjoyed their coffee which for him it's a very good plus. We'll come again and try their breakfast menu. Then, we'll see if we have found our new go to diner!. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I come here at least once a month for breakfast and I'm always pleased. There's never a long wait, and parking is easy to find each time. Everyone is pretty friendly. They also do military/city worker discounts. So, thank you, for that! My usual orders (on different occassions, of course): - 2 eggs scrambled with american cheese with home fries, bacon and wheat toast - Strawberry Shortcake waffle - silver dollar pancakes - 2 eggs over easy with ham, home fries and bacon The service is fast and efficient. The servers are attentive. This is pretty much all that I can ask for when I come for breakfast. It makes my morning coming here. I do recommend coming here.

Hadn't been there in 4 or 5 years after a bout of poor service. Was sat quickly but after waiting and being pretty much ignored for 7 minutes we left. Wasn't busy either. 30% full at best and there was at least 3 waiters/waitresses.

Wow they upgraded their quality, everything I had for breakfast was super tasty, I would recommend you try them again

Food is good. I have never ordered anything i didn't like. They lose 2 stars though for the girl at the counter. I placed a take out order and i go to pay with my card. She runs the card and then has the audacity to ask if i want her "to put a tip on it for the takeout girl". I'm sorry, but I've been a waitress, a bartender, and worked in catering. I have never asked someone to give me a tip. It's tacky and makes things awkward. As I'm waiting for my food, three other people pick up their food after me and paid with a card and she did the same thing to them! Everyone said "no". My suggestion, if you don't want an uncomfortable moment, pay cash.

Haven't been here in awhile, but my girlfriend wanted diner for dinner. She wanted to go to her usual diner for her favorite entree with onion rings. Unfortunately her favorite diner didn't have the wrap I wanted. And I knew Terrace Diner did. After a brief encouraging her and ensuring her she wouldn't be disappointed we went. Well as expected my wrap was delicious. And let's say she loved her dinner and the onion rings. I may have just converted her.

This is not what cordon blue looks like .. it usually has white sauce and mushrooms .. this yellow sauce I'm not sure if it's American cheese or what type of sauce but it tastes like eggs .. I usually taste the mozzarella cheese but I don't think there's a gram of it on this one... subpar k

I had the prime rib it was marinated and so good. The cheese cake was delicious. Our waiter Teddy was very personable & friendly. Great service

I always have loved the food and owner. However, recently have been very unhappy with management and new staff. This is a time where small businesses need support. I've been a regular and recently the staff started charging for extra sauces on my orders which I find disgraceful when I come so much to support and give them my money. The little microscopic sizes for dressings aren't enough to cover my food. I could see charging me if I didn't use them or took them home untouched. Meanwhile someone else could come in there and have unlimited coffee refills with as many creamers and milk needed which IS A COST FACTOR TOO. My advice is, think who is supporting you and you want to keep coming. My meals cost way more than coffee and its bad enough you took the lunch specials off. Think I may have to start supporting other places that do treat me better if this doesn't improve or stop. I did want to help you...

I can't believe that I am giving you guys another bad review. I had a BAD experience with a waiter there a few years ago and vowed never to return. However I wanted to support the local merchants, and we decided to give it another try. Two adults, the bill was over 60 dollars, and we DIDNT get two lavish meals, we got sandwiches! Here is the issue, my meal came with fries, I asked for a baked potato, which should be a substitute, it wasn't...... FOUR DOLLARS for a baked potato?? I asked for brown gravy on the side, a dollar, my wife asked for extra ranch dressings, and extra three dollars, we ordered two cups of tea....3.50 each?? I could buy a BAG of potatoes, and a box of tea for less than 3 dollars. SO you guys while you suffered during covid, pay back your customers by bending them over and emptying their wallets. I'm sorry, but this was wrong, a chicken salad wrap and a turkey club with two cups of tea shouldn't be 60 dollars, we were shocked at the prices, we paid and waved goodbye to the staff, because we wont be returning.

Food is okay. A few years ago I had a horrific experience with tons of hair found in my wrap. It took me years to get myself to go back there but my fiancé likes it so I have to suck it up. Recently we ordered to go (since no one can be inside a restaurant for more than 3 minutes these days #rona). We ordered over the phone. Drove in our car to pick up our food. Walked inside with our masks And paid for our food- Can someone tell me why or even how the cashier has the audacity to say "and would you like to put a tip on the card?" I'm just confused- what did you do to earn a tip exactly? When I go pick up Taco Bell- it's pretty much the same process- Panera, etc. i hate places that make it awkward and uncomfortable by asking about a tip- My real response should have been, "for what?"

The best diner in Suffolk County by far. My personal favorite is the Vegetarian Panini and Greek Salad. The greek salad dressing is AMAZING! Have been coming here for years and love it every time. The owner is very nice and always says hello when you walk in. The staff is also very kind and accommodating.

Food was ok. A little pricey for a diner. The service was a little slow and off. It wasn't the best place but it wasn't the worst either.

In all my years of eating at diners, pickles and coleslaw are complimentary. Not at this place. Too many options, never again.

The food is always good but my experience was great the other day I had a dark haired waitress I think Kathy not sure how spell it, was in the am no mistakes and friendly, in addition she made sure my salad was prepared really nice, presentation was great...she made the chef mix it so it was cool looking....service counts....it was the little things that made my experience better...Thanks

Ah, I'm not going to trash a hard working Greek family diner. This place has been here forever and there is a nice picture of a Greek Man at the register. Black duct tape covers some rips on the bench seats. It's an old tried and true neighborhood diner. To the far right is the counter where I can have a cup of coffee and a piece of coconut pie when I get a hankering. Our waitress, she's probably been working there forever. She kept on walking over to me, touching my arm saying finish your waffle, its getting cold! It was in a nice way, its a neighborhood diner. Hankering: 1595-1605; early Dutch dialect hankeren (cognate with Dutch hunkeren), frequentative of hangen to hang. This diner defines hankering. If you live in the neighborhood, its a nice hometown Long Island Diner to get breakfast or coffee at the counter

The food is good but the service not so much. The first time I ate at this establishment I had to practically beg for a table and my waiter did not check on me for anything. So I thought I would give another chance as some people can have an off day. When I walked in everyone just stood and looked at me no Hi how are you, I felt as i had bothered them. I asked if I could have a table and was seated. The waiter asked me what I wanted and before I could even finish he walked away so I didn't order anything else. I was hoping to add a shake to my order but that didn't happen. This Diner has good food with a nice presentation but its wait staff acts like they're in mourning or something. Not the friendliest bunch.

This place truly has it all. Any American dish you can think of, they have it. It is so good too. I had the BBQ Bacon Burger and it was one of the best BBQ Bacon Burgers I have had in a long time. Highly reccommend if you like BBQ and bacon... on a burger.

Food and service was good...but a$1.00 upcharge for a sweet potato instead of a baked potato? Been to every diner in Suffolk County and never saw this before. (Sweet potatoes are .49 lb at the supermarkets). C'mon guys-get rid of this ridiculous charge.

Took 20 minutes to get drinks, an addition 20 minutes to get water, watched our waiter provide everyone else's food and drinks before we even got our drinks. Horrible service from a "waitress" in the rear left area (facing entrance door), literally watched and heard a bus boy give better service and show more interest in the customer than this waitress. Food was okay, a little soggy due to food being suffocated in sauces. Overall the place is mediocre, would only go here after a drunk night out with the boys.

Ah - I just love a steaming cup of coffee when my ass hits the seat. To me, this is what a diner should deliver and Terrace did not disappoint! Nicely decorated and clean, this diner is excellent. It appears to be a Greek family run place and the service is fabulous. Our waitress was johnny-on-the-spot with the coffee and the our breakfast order was delivered super quick. She checked on us a few times and was just the cheeriest person - it really is nice to see someone who is ok with their job instead of the usual gruff "want some coffee??" that you seem to get everywhere else. Prices seemed cheaper than the competition - I will definitely be going back to try the burgers etc.

I'm giving only 2 stars because the food was good. Taking 3 stars away for the service. I've been there maybe 6 or 7 times and I haven't had a competent or friendly waitress yet. They drop the food off to you and don't see them again until we ask for the check. Forget about getting refills of coffee. Go to the Atlantis Diner instead.

Panini sandwich was the worst I've ever had anywhere. The bread wasn't even toasted it was regular white and completely soggy. Didn't even eat it. Waste of money.

I really like the food here, wide variety. The bacon is always cooked great. The Ranch Chicken sandwich is pretty good, the seafood dishes are great, and the food portions are generous and enough to fill me up and have extra food left, not like other restaurants that give you small portions. The sweet fried potatoes are good. Customer service is great.

I've never posted a bad review before but this was the worst diner I've ever been to. The rudest service I've ever dealt with and the food was soggy.

We live very local and dine at this establishment quite often. I've had quite a few of their dishes on their lunch/dinner menu and I was not ONCE like "WOW, this is delicious." It's usually a hit or miss. When we are in the mood for breakfast and don't feel like driving more than 3 miles for it, we come here. It's kind of hard to mess up on a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, sausage and toast (although this place has done it a couple of times; either burnt the waffle or under-cooked the sausage).

This place is the best. There burgers taste great and the soups are really tasty. the one thing I recommend is the gyro platter. that is the best thing i have ever put in my mouth.

This is my go to burger place. They are always usually good. This joints burgers to me are the best around. Always juicy and made to order. There seeded roles are fantastic. The cheese is perfectly melted on the bread and the Bacon is crispy and fresh just the right amount of Grease to bread saturation. Sadly when I went this past time the burger tasted a little ripe . All and all still a great spot.

I live in Los Angeles and frequently visit the West Babylon Terrace Diner when I am on Long Island. My visits stop today after I bit into the burger ordered and almost lost I tooth. Deep within the burger meet was a metal staple mixed within. I am disgusted and grossed out. I am never coming back.

Food is good, prices are good,service is good.The place is clean has a nice view of the cars on Sunrise Highway. Will eat here again.

Went for midweek lunch wanting a Reuben and saw that on the menu right away. Came with soup, and fries or salad for $12. The food was all delicious and the fries were hot and fresh. The waitress was prompt and attentive. The menu is extensive and we may return to try breakfast or dinner soon.

Decided to go there with mom since we both were starving after mom s long Dr s visit .we were both satisfied ,Mom enjoyed her chicken fingers and fries ,I myself enjoyed my cheese burger.The service itself is left to be desired,our waitress was not friendly at all and that is only the reason why I am giving Terrace Diner a 3 stars review .Since it's truly close to where I reside I am 90% sure I will return and will try something new on their wide range of choices Menu.Maybe next time I will be assigned a different Waiter or Waitress and my experience will be a much happier one.

Bear approved breakfast and now dinner ! We'll be returning for lunch next ! Great food and friendly service anything less would be unbearable.

Great diner, ownership is constant. Love the Greek salad dressing. The steak salad is terrific. Best chopped steak with fried onions and mozzarella. They know their stuff.
