The Cutchogue Diner

Stopped in for lunch while heading out east and it was excellent! Fresh turkey breast on white toast with lettuce and tomato. A decent sized sandwich featuring some of the most delicious tomatoes that took the sandwich from very good to outstanding! Also enjoyed some melt in your mouth onion rings.
The Cutchogue Diner, a small place with maybe 50 seats, is a throwback to earlier diner days and you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to get back there and try their breakfasts!

My idea of an authentic diner right down to the red vinyl seats and bar stools – good food, generous portions, pleasant, casual atmosphere. My wife loved her honey-​roasted chicken. This one also happens to be an historic landmark, so it isn’t likely to change any time soon. Price $ 10.00-$ 20.00 for entrees, most on the lower side. Sandwiches and burgers under $ 10.00.

Cute place with decent service. The food is not anything outstanding, but it’s nice for breakfast or lunch. the place is always very popular with locals and also with tourists.

Great diner food for breakfast and lunch. I like the kielbasa 3 egg omelette. It comes with very good home fries and sliced bread. They also make really good waffles and pancakes with fresh seasonal fruits. The service is quick, they serve your coffee right away. Lots of locals go there and along with the 1930’s art deco style diner it creates a nice old time homey atmosphere. Prices are average for typical diners and the portions are huge.

It’s a Diner and it’s Good diner food! Very friendly staff! Wish it was opened for dinner! Great Burgers! Love the vintage décor!

Cute, quaint, small town diner with great coffee!!! Waitress was nice and attentive. We had breakfast and it was prepared exactly how I asked.

Went for breakfast on my annual trip to visit friends in the NE. It was «ok.» Service wasn’t great; I had to ask for refills, etc., and the waitress just wasn’t very friendly. The food was quite good, I had the banana pancakes which were fluffy and not too sweet. In a place where there are few restaurant options, it fits the bill. I’m just a big fan of customer service!

This is the best diner I have ever been to. My girlfriend and I try to come out here as often as possible. Whether we get breakfast, an omelette (kielbasa omelette is amazing), pancakes, or hash… Or if we get a gyro, meatloaf sandwich, or burger, there food is always amazingly perfect every time. Even there coffee is great. It’s worth the 30 minute drive every time.
Some of the best service I have ever had, great small town diner feel… You won’t feel like a stranger when you eat there.

This place is awesome. Old fashioned diner experience (I’m waiting for the blob to come get me). The chili was awesome… I wish I took a picture of it! The fried flounder is delicious as well! Our waitress Debbie gave us terrific recommendations! A must stop in Cutchogue!

Love this place. Family run diner with a classic feel inside & out. Good service and they have great local pies. The place fills up from noon to 1pm so if you’re more than 2 people call right before you head over to make sure there’s space. Well worth it.

Me and my wife stopped by here on the way to Wickham’s farm. Its been a nearly annual tradition where we take a staycation by staying at a hotel mid-​island and then drive out to the north fork, drop by Wickhams and Greenport, then out to the hamptons. This time the hotel restaurant was packed with people from 2 weddings and vacationers (July 4^th weekend) so we decided to drive out and get something on the road. We actually got to Cutchogue before we saw anywhere we’d like to eat and drove past this landmarked railroad car diner and my wife commented about how cute it was. But, I thought it looked crowded so we kept driving and then a stone’s throw away was Wickham’s farm and we actually drove into the farm’s parking lot and parked before saying to ourselves, maybe we can just check if they are packed (so we could eat before picking up donuts). We did a u-​turn and drove back, parked right in front on the street and walked in. The place was packed, every table was taken — but there were 3 stools open at the counter. I had the Reuben and my wife had poached eggs, waffle fries and bacon. Everything was delicious, the staff were nice and food was up quick. Its definitely not the kind of place to sit around and shoot the breeze on a busy day, people were coming and going the whole time we ate and we ate, had coffee and headed over to the farm for dessert. Its a local treasure, and I heartily recommend stopping by for breakfast or lunch on your way to the winerys!

Experienced this place after years of driving by. Friendly people serving food and we had the entire place to ourselves. Nothing incredible, nothing terrible. Great for a hangover

Good old fashioned American diner food. If your hitting the wineries on the North Fork, this is a great place for breakfast or lunch. History with good food.

Food was good, service was good, place was clean. Chicken sandwich w let/​Tom/​bacon/​mayo on a roll was good. No complaints. Little cold but I had a sweater so I enjoyed lunch.

This is not good, My business partner and I were out east and saw this old style box car diner and thought it would be cool to stop in for lunch. It was around 12;30 and we were the only people there. We ordered 2 burgers deluxe and within minutes the place had a very strong smell of bacon. I think they turned on the grill and the remnants of breakfast was still on the grill. Needless to say we ate the food, and it was ok nothing great and the small burger is placed upon a very large kaiser roll (the burger was lost). Glasses for drinks were plastic and looked kind of dirty or just old. A few hours later we were running to the bathroom. The grill needs to be cleaned before the two services (breakfast and lunch) too much grease left over from previous service. Will not be returning any time soon.

Pretty good diner with a limited menu. Hence, they don’t spread themselves too thin. We liked our grilled cheese and fried chicken. Chicken was better than any chain places. Will def come back and look forward to trying some other specials.

I stumbled on the Cutchogue Diner on my way into the North Fork touring wineries. What a great, truly local experience. I enjoyed a meatloaf sandwich (as listed on the Specials board, and on the advice of the server who said it was «good today»), and would have loved some dessert had the sandwich not been so filling! The pie list was simply classic.
It’s the kind of «local flavor» place I crave when traveling, and I’d easily go back were I in the area again.

Solid diner food. Friendly service. Eggs any way you like ‘em.
These are the basic elements of any good diner (in my book) and The Cutchogue certainly fulfills these requirements. We stopped in here on our way back to the airport in Islip, looking for delicious fuel for our travels ahead. Thankfully, the diner provided us with just what we were looking for. I chowed down on a breakfast sandwich that was totally satisfying and tasty; egg and cheese on a fluffy roll. Delicious and completely filling. Home fries accompanied my sammie and they were seasoned well and added a great flavorful aspect to my order.
The bf is an oatmeal fan, so he ordered the instant oatmeal (the waitress made a point of telling us it was instant when we ordered– props to her for that!) with a side of home fries. Thankfully he loved the home fries, because the oatmeal just wasn’t too appetizing. Honestly, with instant oatmeal the expectations can’t really be too high, so I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you cant eat eggs or pancakes,
As others have mentioned, the diner is truly an old mobile home made into a restaurant, with additions created to accommodate additional patrons and the kitchen. It’s super casual and welcoming. Parking’s available in the back lot, so it’s not difficult to abandon the vehicle for an hour or so.
If you’re in the area and looking for standard American breakfast, then give this place a shot. The bfast Sammie just may surprise you.

I’ve eaten at quite a few diners in my time, having been a teenager in New York City suburbs, and I had a good diner time at the Cutchogue Diner. The waitress was friendly. The menu was simple but had all of the requisite diner dishes. The food came quickly and tasted just fine (I had a very filled ham and cheddar omelet accompanied by curly French fries). The sodas came with free refills, of which we got three, without having to ask!
I also liked that as I ate my food, «The Cutchogue Diner» slowly revealed itself on their personalized plates. It was a nice touch.
When I visit my friends in the spring and summer for wine tastings and beach fun, I will definitely make a point of coming back here.

this place receives 4 stars because as Unilocal would say, «Yay! I’m a fan.» And that I definiately am… this is my usual spot with my north fork wine tasting buddies as we’re heading out east to be on «all day liquid diets» enjoying lovely livations from Strong Island’s north fork. This diner was built in 1940…
Since calories and carbs aren’t my friend, I typically will spring for an egg sandwhich on whole wheat or omelettes and this place will never disappoint in either category. I’m definitely the typical french froo froo foodie but don’t mind kicking it back to ca.1947 in this really old style themed diner… it’s got quite the charm! Red is my fav color as most of my friends know, the entire interior décor is classic red/​white diner décor… love it!
great pancake specials and waffle specials, but as I mentioned earlier, my metabolism sucks and calories/​carbs aren’t my friend so i typically have to order more healthier items :) the ladies with me however, can afford ordering these really yummy treats and they love them everytime!
just a warning though… this place is quite popular and is small on the inside so finding a seat may be difficult :)
go in with expectations of it being a diner and you won’t be disappointed…
FYI — THE GOOGLE MAP ARROW IS INCORRECT, THIS IS ON MAIN ROAD (THE MAIN STRIP IN DOWNTOWN CUTCHOGUE VILLAGE) :)
