Airmont Diner

I’m going to give this place a 2 and the only reason I’ll give it a 2 was because not only did the food come out extremely fast, but the pancakes were phenomenal. BUT… It ends there. I’ll start with the servers: they ALL look sloppy. Very unprofessional. No smile, no greeting, nothing. Oh yea! That includes the owner or manager at the register. After we ordered, the server came over to our table and threw at least 10 packs of butter and 10 packs of syrup. We had enough butter and syrup to share with the entire restaurant. My wife and i ordered the big breakfast and the pancakes with «scrambled eggs.» The bacon was soggy. The sausage was warm not hot. The ham was super thick and taste like it came out of a can and sliced up. The eggs were battered, thrown on the grill, flipped over, and served as scrambled with 2 slices of cheese thrown on top halfway melted. The home fries has a funny taste and were cold. Again, the pancakes were phenomenal. The décor and carpet was old and nasty. Looks like one of those restaurant impossible joints in need of a major makeover. That’ll be the last time I go there. Go at your own risk.

Came here for breakfast after staying at the nearby Crown Plaza hotel. My fiancé ordered two pancakes stuffed with sausage egg and cheese and it was ridiculously good. I had a yogurt parfait with fresh fruit which was also great. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Would recommend to anyone in the area for breakfast.

This place was amazing and I recommend this dinner to anyone. The service was 5 stars. Ask for Kristen she is on top of her game. I had the chicken parm over pasta. The chichen was so tender and the pasta was cooked just right. Can’t wait to have breakfast tomorrow morning…

We came i to town to visit some friends and stayed at the crowne plaza. We were referred to this diner by the manager of the hotel and she could not have been a better recommendation.
We came for breakfast and were instantly greeted by the nicest gentlemen who for all intents and purposes could have been my uncle! Instantly welcoming and as friendly as the day is long. The food was tasty and served quickly. It happened to be our daughter’s birthday and no sooner did we mention it that 2 pieces of cake brought by the manager arrive at the table.
Service is excellent, food was great; however, the highlight of the place is the generous hospitality spearheaded by none other than Dino, Archie and Billy!

I attempted to eat breakfast but was given the incorrect order. When I complained a gentleman came to my table and became very upset that I stated that my order was wrong. I then stated that I would keep the food but he pulled the plate away and became angry. At that time I stated I was leaving the establishment. He proceed to tell me that I would have to pay for my coffee. I disagreed and left. He screamed across the diner at me as I left. Very upsetting and will not be returning.

Food was ok. Waitress was good. Management was horrible. I asked them a question about why a side order of bacon that had 4 pieces costs 4.59. There answer was that they had to pay the bills and that is the cost associated with the 4 pieces of bacon. One of the persons asked me what the costs of a pound of bacon at the store is and I explained to him that I can get a full package of bacon for 4.59.
Also, they stated that if I didn’t like it, I could go to McDonalds instead!
This goes to show that when you start asking questions about outrageous prices, the professionalism goes out the door, even from a so called management.
Do yourself a favor, there are better diners in this area than this.

I went here fr my family members soccer tournament and it was fantastic. The food was made just right and everything was fresh. The outside may not look very appealing but don’t let that get in the way of the food. Service is quick, the waitress was nice, and it was a nice place to go enjoy to lunch.

Depending on the time of day you go, the quality and taste of the food is going to vary big time. The service was pretty decent no matter what time I’ve gone though. Pricing was pretty fair, especially for a diner off of a major interstate.
Overall, I definitely have a preference to go there late at night when the food is really good versus going for breakfast or lunch when the food was subpar and kind of haphazardly made.

Very inconsistent. We actually eat here often and the salads and some items are quite good. But this morning we had a couple of breakfast wraps which were supposed to be eggs, onions and other ingredients per the wrap. The onions overwhelmed the wrap as they were not only undercooked but in huge pieces as in quarters or ¹⁄₈ slabs of nearly raw onion.
The specialty omelettes can be good but it depends on the chef of the day. Some are fine with the ingredients and give you a decent amount, other days it is hard to find what you thought was supposed to be in there.
Owner is present today, and the wait staff is pleasant, but the kitchen needs to have more consistency and the ratings would improve.

Had dinner at Dino’s Airmont Diner Friday night, and had an outstanding Stuffed whole baby flounder dinner. The fish was prepare to perfection, and the stuffing was as good as any crab meat stuffing I’ve had. In addition, you get soup, salad, potato and a vegetable with the dinner. A great value! I recommend Dino’s if you’re looking for good food at reasonable prices.

Lets start with the warm and friendly welcome… «How Many?» Then despite seeing we had someone who had difficulty walking, we were taken to the farthest table they had available. Three menus were dropped right on the table — there were five of us. I should add one of the chairs was mixed in with the table next to ours — so I had to grab a chair from another table.
Then comes our waiter… he didn’t know what any of the dishes were, heck, he didn’t even know where they were on the menu. We asked him about two dishes and he simply walked away mumbling something under his breath. When he finally came back (all smiles), my cousin ordered brisket — an item which surprised our waiter as he had to find it on the menu to find out how to spell it on his order. We were a bit taken aback by his natural reaction, so we asked if anyone ever ordered the dish — he responded, «of course! We sell a lot of ‘that.’» — if that were true why the surprised look? Why wasn’t he able to find it on the menu even after we pointed out where it was?
When I asked what sides they offered, his response was «what I just told these people» — well, what if I was not paying attention to what you were saying because I was reading your menu? …
He said we can order a bottle a wine — but returned moments later to tell us they only had wine by the glass. Upon asking what type of wine, he was only able to identify the wine by the colour. (The jugs of Paul Masson were strategically placed near the entrance).
The flatware was skimpy — thin and mis-​shaped with the fork prongs facing different directions… (and yes, I was not the only one who complained of this).
The bread came with the food… and he served with his thumb on the food. Surprisingly the brisket was fine as was the salmon. The steaks, however, were nearly inedible — the NY Strip was miserable and filled with gristle. Their «Romanian» steak was so tough — the two people who tried it spit out their initial bites (onto napkins, of course), luckily it came with stuffed shrimp which would have been a much better option on its own. The waiter confused the sides on two of us and when he finally arrived with the peas and carrots, there were no carrots.
Dessert was standard diner cheese cake — no complaints.
The waiter brought the check and returned within a minute to remind us that he had left the check. We waited around for him to take our order, for him to return with the bread, the sides and the additional napkins… but the check? THAT we didn’t have to wait… actually, he didn’t even allow us to wait.
My aunt refused to use the ladies room because it smelled… The men’s room entrance and door were surprisingly attractive — but once inside the smell of urine and the missing tiles seemed more like what I expected from this place.
I gave it one star … it certainly was not the worse place I’ve ever been however, there certainly must be places with better food, better service and more attentive management in the area.

The family says this restaurant hit the mark! In other words, it was exactly what you expected for a 3.5 star rated restaurant. Very friendly staff, giant menu and typical greasy spoon diner fare.

Average diner nothing particularly special. But it’s cheap and quick. The wraps are pretty good but the sausage is not great and nor is the bacon. Omelettes are ok, but often come out soggy. One of the nicer dishes is the pancake wrap, it’s worth a try.

If I could give it 2.5 stars I would. Average is the word for this place, for breakfast at least. Typical uninspired diner. Ok food, ok prices, good service. Food came out on time, was hot and prepared to order. No reason to go out of your way to come…

This is an excellent diner! Over the years I have NEVER had a bad meal or bad service! Everything is good! This meal was chicken Parmesan (husband had to take half of it home –such a big portion) spinach pie –very Greek and made just right. Delicious. Grilled cheese with tomato –yum. Dino the owner was not in tonight but he is always welcoming when we see him. Great business. We bring our friends and family here often.

I am a fan. I have come here a few times for take out and to dine in. I have never had to wait, and my food is always good. Today I dined in and my server was great, very upbeat and seemed wager to help and make sure our meal was good. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and curly fries. It was very good. I would absolutely come back. There is plenty of parking and they usually have a free cookie or something going on as you exit.
Great lunch time spot, we ordered, got our food and had eaten within an hour. The menu is huge, so many selections I suggest you have in mind what you want before you go because it can be overwhelming. I look forward to trying more of their menu.

Not impressed. Waiter got my order wrong (I ordered chicken gyro — he brought chicken parm) and when he finally brought it, was dry and rubbery.

We went there based on reviews. The waitress was very pleasant and the service was great. I ordered the Crab Stuffed Shrimp (~$ 20). The shrimp were large and yummy, but the stuffing was made with imitation crab. We loved the dessert… banana cream pie and carrot cake! We visited the next morning for breakfast. It tasted great and the waiter was on top on things (minus the dirty glass my oj was put in). We will visit again, but I’ll not be ordering the stuff shrimp again.

It’s a diner people! Don’t come in here expecting the works! They have basic diner food that they deliver just fine.
I’ve been coming to this place since I was little. Of course I thought it was the best place on earth when I was little but even now knowing it’s a typical diner I still think it’s a place I can come time to time. It’s especially a great place to meet up with old buddies from high school.
You can never go wrong ordering anything off the breakfast menu (except the bagels) and any of the appetizers. I usually get the eggs with sausage for breakfast or the buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch. Always opt for curly fries! Maybe it’s a dollar more but curly fries are always tastier and more fun!

Not a good experience. We arrived at Airmont Diner around 1:30 am on Thursday night/​Friday morning 1÷15÷15. The restaurant was empty except for one other couple. The atmosphere was typical of a diner, but larger than most.
The server did not introduce himself to us at all. He obviously thought I was fat. When he attempted to get our drink order, I told him I wanted a coke. He then said «diet coke». I said «no, coke». He took my boyfriends drink order and then asked me if I wanted a lemon. I said, «no, no lemon. just coke». He then asked «not diet?», and I repeated, «no». After taking some time to look over the really large menu (because we are not from the area), my boyfriend decided on the BBQ chicken wrap and I the shrimp wrap and we got a french onion soup to share. My boyfriend told him that he wanted curly fries, and I said that I did too. The waiter looked at me and asked, «You don’t want the sweet potato fries?». I hadn’t asked for or about sweet potato fries. I actually told him exactly what I wanted, again, and it was questioned.
When we received the soup, my boyfriend had to get up to track down the waiter for an extra spoon because he didn’t return. Once the food was delivered, the BBQ chicken wrap smelled STRONGLY of onions. Upon opening it, we saw an INSANE amount of onions. We actually joked about how many whole onions went into the creation of that single wrap. He had to get up again to track the waiter down after waiting too long for him to reappear for sauces for the wrap and fries. My shrimp wrap just tasted like mayonnaise. The fries were good. That was about all. Once we ate the fries, we had to track the waiter down AGAIN for boxes for the wraps and the check.
The one redeeming factor about the shrimp wrap is that it was much better the next day. Some salads need to be chilled before serving, and the next day I was actually able to taste the shrimp. The BBQ chicken wrap, I was told, the next day, still held the pungency it had the night before.
As I said, the menu is large, which gives customers a great selection, but the service left much to be desired. The service we experienced was on par with a busy night at a diner, not a diner in which there is ONLY one other couple. The food left much to be desired as well. We took a chance and were disappointed.
