Specialties:
all of whay you would expect in a vintage diner!! the
hamburgers and cheeseburgers are outstandinand the french
fries are superlative. Of course breakfasts are excellent
with the potatoes being left on the grill ion the proper
manneruntil the are crisp without and tender within.


Review:
a wonderful place to go for breakfast,lunch and dinner with
all the ambiance that one would expect to find in such an
establishment. Greeks own and operate the place and what
would a great diner be without being run by members of that
knowledgeable ethnic people of extraordinary culinery
tastes.

the plates and the coffee mugs are 1930s vintage and are
always steamy clean.

the grill has that wonderful greasy black shine that
denotes great tasting morsels to every diner affecionado.
the only drawback if there is one is the small parking lot
on the side of the building but thar aside this incredible
place is well worth a drive from any part of the area to
within 100 miles-thats the hunger circle!!-and if you get
the hungries late at night--you know what I mean--
well,then this is certainly the place you want to head for
asquickly as possible.
oh-the desserts- do you like homemade coconut cream pie,
rice pudding made correctly with raisons, egg custard and
stuff like homemade strwberry short cake this is the
official spot.

breakfasts of steamy griddlecakes with real maple syrup and
rich creamy butter running down the plate bordered by crisp
bacon strips and those wonderful home fries I mentioned
earlier,then you will fall in lust with the MINEOLA DINER.

Old timey waitresses who know their business and all of the
old familiar codes and special diner shorthand can be found
here at all hpurs of the day and night. "Draw
one,eighty-six the breadpudding,adam and eve on a raft,
burn two etc.is the language spoken here. No limp
linguistic "may I help you" stuff- just "whatilluhavhon" or
"takeyerordasweetie"- real neat diner talk.
