Demi's Place — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Demi’s is the type of place you long for amidst the flashy diners, expensive “coffee shops”, and the anonymity of practically all restaurants. Rich (owner and cook) knows his way around breakfast (see the board with every imaginable way to make eggs!), lunch, and all around comfort food at great prices! Go a few times, introduce yourself, strike up a conversation, and he’ll soon remember your name. You’ll feel like you’re home then and will want to return to try the various egg platters, various flavored pancakes and waffles, the yummy garlicky hot hero sandwiches, salads, and lunch plates. Ooh, almost forgot the chili!!

Demi’s is named after Rich’s daughter, who is now in her 20s. That’s right. This place just celebrated 20 years of straight business. It has survived Super Storm Sandy when many businesses actually went under.

Great food, coziness, decorating done Rich’s way, and no fanciness. Leave your pretentiousness at the door but bring your hunger. Also, BRING CASH if you want to try the delicious, hot coffee. Demi’s doesn’t accept any cards nor checks. If you forget, no worries. Demi’s has an ATM.

Enjoy and tell them Rob the UBER driver...

I would choose that roll for any sandwiches I would make if I had a food truck! The owner is swell and friendly to talk too. However the lead waitress was rude to the customers next to us insisting they sit at the window. They wanted to sit at the counter. I'm not sure why. I think the table at the window needed dishes removed and cleaned but when she offered to clean they went to the counter to sit and she was a bit demanding they were taken back by her demanding. Rather weird. But otherwise she was pleasant enough. Would...

Funny that I would give Demi's a 2 out of 5 even though they got all "5's" from me! Everything was great until I finished. The server (who was great by the way!), took my "empty" plate left to get me the check. I was sending a text when all of a sudden, the cook is sitting across from me! "You didn't eat your home fries?". I was so taken back, I actually started rationalizing why I didn't eat my home fries, settling on, "The breakfast sandwich was huge!". He then slapped the table and said 'Okay, I'll know for next time!" It was absolutely something out of a Seinfeld episode!!!! No worries chef! There won't be a next time but thanks for the great breakfast, sorry I...
