Hicksville Diner — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

When they redid this diner, I was super happy about it and whenever I was in the area, I would definitely go have breakfast or lunch. Very friendly people, Clean, the food was great moderately priced on certain items but a bit on the high side for the breakfast but when you get good food, you don’t mind.

I was there recently and I have to say I wasn’t happy at all. I went to go eat breakfast after my breakfast, I was starving. The home fries were made like mashed potatoes mushy. Some pieces were burnt. Should have took pics so you can see. The eggs weren’t cooked as I asked them to be. My bf got turkey bacon with egg whites & It was black as coal. Un edible, By the time the server came back, the meal was over and cold and we had to get out of there to pick up a family member who was having a procedure near by..The egg whites had a weird consistency.. My eggs I asked for over medium they were over well done. The only thing I liked was my pork bacon It was cooked perfectly other than that Everything else we had felt like it was a waste of money.

Overall, not a good experience when I went to pay the person upfront he told me that there’s two prices the cash and the credit card. Well, I have a debit card and most places do not charge you the fee with a debit card because it’s a bank account cash, you’re not charging it..dealing with fees etc with a debit card..I was explaining this And all he could say was “idk it’s plastic” and just seems to brush it off and charges me the fee. Back to the food, when we told the server about the food prior to paying he told us he would charge us for a sandwich for one of the meals... I guess egg sandwiches are $15.00 The server has been there a while and he’s a really nice guy & helpful. I don’t think it’s him. I just think whoever is managing the place now needs to do better. I don’t see the older gentleman anymore in there who I think is the owner..I wonder if he sold the place. It was pretty quiet in there and the prices are pretty high Even for their breakfast specials up til 10 am..the prices are the price of any expensive diner on the island nothing special but a tiny juice included so I do not understand the special except that it’s actually overpriced. Nothing to write home about here sad to say because I really liked this place when they opened moderately priced And the vibe was nice. If you’re the owner and you’re reading this, please do better. $33.00 + tax + debit card fee + tip for bad eggs, charcoal black turkey bacon, mushy home fried potatoes with burnt pieces in them.. no way! $45.00 for 2 people is a lot for a bad breakfast and experience they call a special. I Will not...

We stopped in for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. There was zero wait and only a few customers were seated at the time. The waiter was very nice and helped us with everything we needed. My wife was very happy with her omelet while I had the honey dipped chicken with slaw, green beans, a Cesar salad and a cup of chicken noodle which reminded me of soup at my grandmother's as a child. The green beans were steamed for those interested and the salad was fresh and delicious that was med-heavy on the dressing, not a bad thing but I would suggest dressing on the side for more particular eaters. The chicken was very good, no sauce needed. Crispy and tasty with all different chicken parts included, the way one would expect fried chicken. My wife had a slice of the mudslide cake for desert and enjoyed every bite. Overall I am very happy with our experience and we would be happy to stop in again the next time we are...
