Diner By The Sea

Best diner option in the area. Order for delivery from time to time. Not bad at all just a simple quick place to eat, delivery is convenient and the milk shakes are pretty damn good which is well known by locals.

Excellent place for children. We were seated immediately and service was great. The food is your standard diner food. The milkshakes were incredible. I’ll definitely be back!

Came here for the milkshakes, I’ve seen pictures and they looked good. It was probably the worse shake I’ve ever had. I got chocolate and there were chunks of ice in it which made me think the icecream may have been frostbitten. I was a little hungry so I ordered the French toast and my boyfriend got chicken and fries. My French toast was completely black and burnt so I left it on the table and my boyfriend said the chicken was not good at all that he didn’t make it past the first bite. I will never come here again nor recommend this place to anyone. Grossed out just thinking about it.

The food was good and the milkshakes were yummy. But I don’t like the way they use Windex to clean the milkshake mixer. I think hot soap and water would be safer.

I’ve only gone to try their famous shakes. It’s a typical small beach town diner so I didn’t expect anything fancy from the atmosphere but it’s a cute place. Fun to check out if you’re in Long Beach. The shakes are really pretty and cool and taste pretty good but don’t drink it too fast or you’ll get nauseous!

Great service. Great food. Period.
The staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable. I love this place.

Really good local diner. Out of all the diners in long beach this one is my favorite. I recently came here for breakfast and was very pleased with the service and the food. I will for sure be coming back here

Great food! I love the Chicken Souvlaki Platter. One of my all time favorites. Amazing service.

I can’t comment on the food or the service because I just got a milkshake to go. I ordered the birthday cake milkshake and it was awesome — definitely worth the $ 6.50. It’s a few blocks north of the Long Beach boardwalk, so it’s easy to stop in to grab a shake before heading to the beach.

Go for the milkshakes. Their fun flavors will make the kid in you squeal with joy (think: chocolate chip cookie, Oreo, birthday cake, etc.). Plus they come with fun extra wide straws, swirls of neon color lining the glass, and age-​less toys on top!
Otherwise, a standard diner with good chicken fingers, gyro platters, curly fries, and French toast. Know that if you try to get in here at dinner time there will most certainly be a wait, and it will probably be filled with all the local kids.

Extremely unsatisfied customer.
After requesting a table for two, my girlfriend and I waited by the door for 10 minutes or so. We were then approached by the busboy who informed us that it would be 10 more minutes or so. He then informed us the kitchen was closing and made no effort to keep us in the store. We asked if can take shakes to go which we ordered and waited for them. After 15 minutes one shake comes out. I want to point out that durirng this time two seperate parties were seated of 3 or more. The second drink, a root beer float, is nowhere to be found and the server ticket is taken off of the queue. We then asked for the root beer float to which they produce a styrofoam coffee cup which was leaking. As the cup is being handed to me, the man says «I would of made it look nicer if you had stayed.» Not only will I not go back I was outraged enough to waste my time on this review.

The nicest staff ever! There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived and the host took my phone number to call me when a table was available. We went to get gas and a parking spot and he called us just as we were ready.
The food was great typical diner fare, with quality ingredients and killer shakes! My mom got an egg-​white omelette with spinach and swiss with french fries and I got the long beach burger (½ lb burger with cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, green peppers and a creamy dressing) with onion rings. The burger was nice and medium rare, as I had ordered.
Our waitress was super nice and we had a really good meal and it wasn’t too greasy like some diner burgers. Unfortunately, they ran out of oatmeal, which my mom typically gets and really likes.
Not a ton of seating like your typical diner, so sometimes a wait on weekends. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good fun diner, with an awesome shake menu.

I went during a busy early dinner rush and was seated right away! I heard about the shakes and I definitely had to go, I got peanut butter it was on point. The shakes are ¼ whip cream, and they don’t come in that big of a cup so it’s a jip for $ 6.95! The Oreo pancakes were great, very filling! I’ll definitely be back anytime I got to long beach.

Came here after a beach day with the friends and it was a great decision. We came for those marvelous milkshakes and they didnt disappoint. We tried Strawberry shortcake, milk n’ cookies, and peanut butter. Milk n’ cookies was amazing and highly recommended! Shortcake was good but wouldn’t recommend the peanut butter because it was too much. We also got the onion rings and waffles fries which were delicious.
Awesome service, friendly staff, good food, great time, would come again!

Came here for a milkshake because I heard they’re good and that’s what they are well known for.
My friend got the brownie batter milkshake and I got the cake batter. I thought both were pretty good milkshakes but nothing to go crazy over. They’re about $ 6.
The presentation of the milkshake is really nice. My friend’s had a toy car sitting on the whipped cream and mine had a small windmill type thing. It was nicely presented as it was colorful. See pic.
Might come back here for a milkshake but wouldn’t go out of the way for it.

My boyfriend and I come here for the milkshakes every Sunday before Game of Thrones (it’s our sweet pregame before we start cringing and see our favorite characters die). The staff is always so excellent, especially the manager and one of the servers (I think her name is Jessica?), who always gives us the BEST recommendations on what milkshake to try next!
I tend to always stick to the Fruity Pebbles milkshake (creature of habit… I find something I love and I like to stick with it to save myself from disappointment), but I have gotten the Strawberry Shortcake before and that was delicious! My boyfriend typically gets whatever the server suggests that day from Thin Mint to Oreo with peanut butter. The Oreo with peanut butter is actually the most amazing, but I can’t see myself finishing a whole one with all of that in there so I just like to pretend I forgot what it tastes like and get a few sips in.
The presentation is so cute and it’s always a huge hit when we post a picture. Our obsession has gotten a little out of control that every time we have guests over they want to take a trip to try the milkshakes!
We’ve also eaten there once and have taken out food while waiting for our milkshakes to be made and it’s actually pretty good food! It’s similar in tasting to the Laurel Diner, but they have a few clever menu options like the Frito Burger (one of these days I’ll cheat and get it). Their turkey burger is GIGANTIC and tastes really good. Last time I got it with American cheese, which was a mistake. You really need to order it with mozzarella to enjoy it!
I can honestly say we’ll be back again this Sunday and I’m looking forward to the milkshake and the wonderful service! They’re always so upbeat in there, makes my day!

Go for the milkshakes, Nutella is the best.
Food itself is decent diner food, not a bad place to eat.

Shakes were really good. Had the chips ahoy one with a lot of chocolate chips at the bottom. Yum ! Fries were good too ! Will deff go back

DELICIOUS SHAKES!!! I had the Oreo pancakes, very good! The server we had really wasn’t the greatest but it was because she had a table all the way in the front and we were all the way in the back. The manager is not very nice to her staff, very snappy and was scolding one girl who was the best server that she’s got.

Diner.
One of many on LI.
One of many who claim to have ‘The Best Turkey Burger’ (why diners love this title so much? How big is the turkey burger market?).
But a little extra here considering they make some crazy good shakes. Tons of flavors and colors, you’re bound to find one you enjoy. Beyond, that, it’s your standard 12 page diner menu with solid griddle and greek options. Huge omelets, huge salads, dinner specials and helpful servers. For a fast, casual meal you’ll do well here.
