Do you have chicken and waffle dinner?

I think they have waffles and I know they have fried chicken. Pancakes and Fried Chicken sounds good to me. Start a new trend.🙂

Do you serve corn beef and cabbage?

I enjoyed the Pastrami Reuben and they did have corn beef as an option. I suspect they'll be serving corn beef and cabbage too as they are definitely wearing the green big time right now.

Yes, they are open both Christmas and Christmas Eve. I called to confirm.

Do they serve alcohol

Yes

Do they deliver

Yeah no and not that im aware of but the experience there is what you want

Can you have food delivered

No.

Do they deliver...?

No...I don't believe they do. But worth the drive to go there 🙂

I’ve been here a few times the food isn’t that great but it’s decent. That being said I went to place an order for pick up being that they are still closed to dine in. Not that this should matter but, my children were screaming in the background. I went to place an order for pick up and was told they don’t offer kids meals to go.... well you also don’t offer in dining at the moment. That just automatically turned me off and I will never go here again. There are a bunch of other diners in the area that do to go kids meals and that taste better!

This is a great place for family and friends. The owners are very personable. The wait staff is very good. The atmosphere is always festive. I think it's a little pricey, but the portions are big of you're into leftovers

We were sat quickly. They are very accommodating to the current situation going on and have set up an outside dining area. This was a comfort to me. Tammy was our waitress and was absolutely phenomenal. She was friendly, quick, funny, and checked on us several times to make sure that we had everything we needed. Definitely will return. I love the place. Best Diner on Long Island.

They have Fox News blaring from every TV. There is so much division in this country and this town. I’d like to be able to eat in peace without brainwashing state run news TV. Change the channel -and not to another news outlet. Won’t be back. The airport diner has better onion rings anyway.

Awesome! Excellent food , excellent service. A truly unique Diner. Separating themselves from all the rest. It’s a fun, clean atmosphere and the food is great. Peter and Gus have perfected the art of customer satisfaction. The entire staff is always smiling and joking around even though it’s busy. I am very impressed. Our waiter new exactly what we wanted and served it to perfection. His name was Stan... I think.

I'm an Army veteran and this is my first time visiting this diner. Red white and blue decorations, blue lives matter flags, and a sign saying "Our flag won't fly without the troops" at the front desk. I thought this place is very patriotic so out of curiosity I asked about military discount. I was told "Sorry we don't have military discount". I'm totally fine with that answer, it doesn't hurt to ask.However, at the check out desk a customer showed up with his MAGA hat and got a free dessert. That got me curious where they put their priorities. From what it looks like this diner is just another establishment of giving lip service to the troops.For the Oconee Diner, a man with a MAGA hat means more to them than Veterans.God Bless America.

It was ok. Considering the corona virus just went there other day. The bread was old. The waiter was nice when we walked in but after having him as a waiter he was very nasty. We were confused what changed his attitude. The food was ok. Nothing to brang about. Probably won't go back. Sorry but the truth.

I’ve been going to this diner for years and have always experienced high quality service and amazing food. However, today I ordered a side of potato fries and found a piece of pork in it. I haven’t eaten red meat in over 15 years so this really grossed me out. I explained the situation to my waitress and she says “It’s fine, it happens all the time. Just eat around it.” I was SHOCKED that a waitress would tell me to just eat around something that I said I didn’t want to eat. She continues to ask me “So do you want the rest to go?” without even offering to remake it or take it off the bill. Again, I tell her that I didn’t want the rest since red meat was in my food. She then ignorantly responds “pork isn’t even red meat” and walks away. I’ve had some bad experiences at restaurants before, but NEVER have I had a waiter or waitress dismiss or belittle something that clearly bothered me. Today’s experience at this diner was truly disappointing and makes me not want to go back there.

The bread was freshly baked. The waiter was so kind to pack me some to go. This is a family owned restaurant and they treat everyone as such. Bon appetite!

Service is excellent and they aim to please even during these challenging times. Definitely will return. Ask for Billy he is a wonderful waiter.

Great lively atmosphere, while maintaining that traditional homey diner vibe. The staff is extremely friendly, and the owner (or manager), Gus, is very welcoming, greeting you with a smile at the door and making sure you leave happy.

Great dinnerVery festivly decorated for each upcoming holidayGood foodGenerous portionsWith the exception of one very grumpy and gruff waiter the service is excellent Kitchen is quick and accurateI take away one star because one of the owners, a short fat bald guy See's fit to tell all night to the workers directing seating and God knows what else. After a half hour or so it gets really really obnoxious. Don't sit in the center to avoid having to listen to that

Excellent service, great food, casual atmosphere. Good place for breakfast for sure, great coffee and a wait staff that keeps the cup full. Breakfast for two will run about $40 well worth it. Didn't feel rushed food came right on everything was as ordered. Very good diner for the money. Easy to get to plenty of parking handicapped access.

Diners, diners, diners....this may very well have been where that old Saturday Night Live skit was inspired. The Oconee has been here forever and is a mainstay of the South Shore, if not all of Suffolk County! Come hungry leave stuffed and with a big bag of food too! The place is highly decorated for all upcoming seasons and holidays, always packed and owner Pete will load you with all the extras you expect at a diner....water, bread, cookies, tootsie pops and more. The food is right out of the Diner playbook....everything! Enjoy a family meal, no matter how big your party, reservations not required!

We heard nothing but rave reviews from friends so we figured we'd give it a try. We went on Sunday and it was crowded but only had to wait a couple of minutes. We got seated in the back part where the tables were on top of each other. The waitress was quick and very nice. I ordered the open gyro which was mostly lettuce and a small amount of over cooked meat on a plate. The dressing & yogurt sauce was the only thing that saved it. My wife had a Ruben and it was buried in sauerkraut. There was a good amount of pastrami on it. Overall it was OK, maybe because we set our sites high because our friends said it was so good.
