Always such a pleasure to go here and see familiar faces behind the counter! The food is always amazing and fresh and it has such a wonderful charm to it that is hard to put into words!

First time going and it won't be my last. It was crowded but we were seated right away. Everyone was very nice and the waiter and busboy were extremely attentive the entire time. They kept coming back for coffee refills. The omelette and home fries were made perfectly just the way I like it. It was huge and I had leftovers which was just as good the next day. The place was also nicely decorated with holiday decor. It was very inviting and I'm looking forward to going back again.

My family has been going to the Laurel Diner since it was The Laurel Luncheonette. My mom went as a kid visiting from "The City," and now she's the "mayor." We walk in, 5 different people greet her by first name. It's been remodeled, but kept the old style art-deco interior and is just great for service, food, and a great cup of coffee! I never know what I'm going to order, but as a vegetarian, I have so many choices! You never know who may walk in, maybe native son, Billy Crystal, or your neighbor from down the block. Prices are great and portions are huge! If you want an old style diner with updated style, and great food, go to the Laurel!

What a great, fun and delicious experience! This retro diner has such a great throwback feel and thrilled they kept so much of its original design. Food was great, service was even better! Such nice, accommodating people working here! The plates were huge! The food was tasty, fresh and plentiful! Looking forward to returning to try more!

This is a 5 star diner! Impeccably clean with updated seating. They sell candy in the front which is cute and nostalgic- I ended up buying two individual york peppermint patties my daughter's favorite for a quarter each. Me and my husband both had salads which were so fresh and delicious and huge! I feel embarrassed that I ate all of mine! Service was on point and friendly. You can't go wrong coming here - this is the second time I came to this diner based on my first experience. This time was better than before. I had an arugula salad with salmon and the salmon was cooked perfectly crunchy on the outside and drizzled with my favorite balsamic vinegar. The slivered almonds mixed with the arugula made it heaven. Who says eating healthy can't be delicious! My husband's cobb salad with blue cheese looked delicious his chicken was cooked well and not dry. Keep up the good work Laurel Diner you have a fan! I will be coming to visit everytime I visit lovely Long Beach!

The staff was friendly and helpful. The waitress offered sauces, checked in with us, and was helpful in helping us decide on our orders. The diner was bright with lots of windows. Starting off, the Soup du Jour (Chicken Noodle Soup) was hot and made me feel nostalgic. The Seafood Platter had huge portions of creamed spinach, sweet potato fries, and fried fish. It was my first time trying fried scallops, but it was amazing. All the fried seafood had a good crisp. The Cookies and Cream milkshake with additional thickness came with an extra cup of milkshake to the side, which was so nice. Dipping the sweet potato fries in the milkshake made them taste almost like funnel cake.

Stopped in for lunch today and after speaking to a friend, they suggested that I try the corned beef on rye. While a step below a real kosher deli, the corned beef was tender, not too fatty, and piled a mile high! everyone else in our party ordered breakfast and everybody's breakfast was perfect! Service was outstanding as always! Perhaps the best diner on Long Island!
