Eveready Diner in other cities:
First time customer. The mozzarella sticks were more like mozzarella slices. They were cooked perfectly and were delicious. The burger I ordered was tasty and so filling. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. I would give her five stars alone.Edit: came a second time. Even better. I originally made a comment about the hosts, but it might have been an off night. Came during the rush of Sunday early afternoon crowd, and miraculously was seated quickly. The waiter was fast and the food came out even faster. Sharing the nachos was more than enough for a meal. Will have to remember that next time.
WOW .... this place went down the toilet.Asked for a booth (with plenty available) and was seated at a crusty table in the back. Took way too long to get service, like we were forgotten back there. Then the waiter told us hed get to us in a minute as soon as he retrieves hot sauce for someone. Annoyed, we left!!! .... Never going back.P.S. ... The bathrooms need cleaning and they should spend some of the profits repairing the torn and cracking seats.
The server we had was awesome. He was the best part of our lunch.My daughters chicken fingers were just wrong. They were rubber and tasted like fish. We’re they frozen and then refried in the same oil as someone’s fish lunch? That’s was it seemed like, but they were very rubbery.My cheeseburger was really thin and also had a funny taste to it. Almost sour , hopefully I don’t get sick, I only ate half of it because cause of the cost and I don’t like complaining.The photo is my daughters chicken fingers, which were rubber and weird .
Excellent! This place was perfect in every way! We stopped in on a Monday night, on our way home from a business trip, and we are so glad we did. Our food was delicious, there was no waiting for seats, nor was there a wait for our food to come out, coffee was on point, blue granite tabletops, seconds off the 84, a very quick off and right back on, but the very best part was our server. He was so attentive, got everything just right, made sure we had everything we needed, it was service how service should be! Thank you Tyler, you were awesome, the best part of our experience!
Been here many times, and always had a great experience. More recently, I came here with my girlfriend and we ordered mozzarella sticks and burgers. And our expectations were definitely exceeded. The service was great, the mozzarella sticks were top notch, and the burgers were cooked to our liking. I recommend this place to most people I know and Ill be back many times to come.
My experience was excellent food was amazing and or waitress Dorothy was amazing too went over and above to make sure everything was perfect and she was so pleasant would go back all the time service was great so clean and Dorothy made sure we had everything we needed went over and above to make our experience excellent would highly recommend
Great location right of 84. The service was extremely quick considering we were a large group and it was quite late I believe there 24 hours. Nice sized portions and so many varieties of fried. Curly, waffle, sweet potatoe etc, and all at no extra cost. They were very nice to push a number of tables together to accommodate us. Paying the bill was super easy and efficient since you brought the check to the front and everyone paid for their own items. I ordered a BLT with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was packed with tomatoes right I appreciated. The waitress forgot my pickle, so when I mentioned it, she brought out 4 pickels!!! Needless to say I was happy. Many choices on the menu. From breakfast to chicken and waffles to huge salads.
I wasnt too crazy about this diner. The food was decent and the staff was friendly. However, for the prices, the food was definitely missing something. The portions were great though and I did enjoy their milkshakes. The burger was okay. Maybe I would go back to try a different item on the menu.
Went here on a nice sunny day. I overheard that today was their first open since the pandemic shutdown. Facility is outdoor dining for now and the set up is a huge tent in the front parking lot thats cordoned off. The seating is mostly covered with some off to the side. I sat in the sun to get the exposure and it was a nice day with a breeze.I was quickly seated by a very energetic and friendly waitress. Ordered iced tea, burger medium well with swiss and bacon, and curly fries. Burger was juicy and delicious. The fries came with a couple of onion rings which both looked like they were oil soaked. They didnt taste like it though. The appearance may have been enhanced in the bright sunlight. (I make my own at home in an air fryer so oily fried foods are novel to me.)I overlooked all that as I needed to be out and support a closed dining establishment. In the end, all were great. As soon as the bill came, I just gave my CC. I signed and gave a very large tip to help the staff. Id like to visit again to make sure that the five stars I am rating is still well deserved.
First of all I asked for a burger with onions and mushrooms and they didn’t even put a bun on the burger!!! So disappointed then I asked for 2 cheeseburgers and they gave us NO cheese that’s annoying now I have to add regular bread to my burger with no bun 😑 1 star review never coming here again
I personally did not eat here, I sat a table with my company. I am gluten free and didnt want to chance it. I can speak for my company. They said the food was good. They put us in the back of the restaurant where there are tables. Most of the seats were ripped. We had to find chairs to sit on because some had tears so big, it would have been uncomfortable. And it was old and outdated back there. Not sure if they plan on remodeling back there but it was a big turnoff. My out of state guests were thinking about leaving when they arrived. On a good note, we ate until they were closed but they did not rush us out. The waitress gave us our food quickly and was a sweet heart. She was very attentive. I would give the waitress 5 stars.
The place is filthy. Was sat at a table where the ceiling is leaking. Dirty cutlery was on the place setting. The floors were sticky to walk on. All staff was hanging out/ on their phones. The food was subpar, the sandwiches were soggy. Even the soft drinks left much to be desired.
Have been going for a few years. Always satisfied. Lately I’ve been disappointed with the cleanliness of the diner. The entry foyer has a terrible odor and the bathrooms are really not clean at all. Wish they would get their act together since we do enjoy going there.
The decor in this place is inviting and interesting. The staff is super friendly and it was a good place to stop on a road trip. The food is average at best, if were being generous here. The coffee is the vile stuff that is usually sold at these places: cheap and kept on burners for god knows how long, until what was already pretty bad becomes undrinkable. Four stars for the ambiance and service and for the desserts that looked good.
I dont usually like newer diners but the breakfast food and the service here have won me over. Ive been a few times with family and its always delicious (esp. the Eveready Breakfast with real maple syrup, yum!). This however only holds for breakfast...lunch dishes are pretty mediocre.
Been going to Eveready for years! Food is always good for a quick bite - although lately service has been very poor. Overall Ive had good experiences here - but lately its been pretty rough. Staff seem to flirt to often and not pay attention to customers needs. I also received a fork that still had food on it 🤮 Food is good - service is poor
Excellent Diner!! Wish long island diners ran their business like this one. Very nice/friendly staff! Immaculate/clean restaurant. Stopped in for breakfast during a road trip mainly because they were the only one opened at 7am. They had a great menu selection making it hard to choose! My wife had the breakfast burrito and loved it. I had the Eveready.. really good fluffy pancakes, 2 farm fresh eggs, 2 crispy pieces of bacon and 2 delicious sausage links. Excellent choice and a ton of food. Some nice touches were asking if you want crispy or soft bacon.. crispy was perfect and not burnt/dust. The also give you a strawberry infused butter which was really good on pancakes with syrup. Definitely will route a future trip through here to come again!
This is a go to eatery if youre in that Brewster area. Not the heart of, but the edge of... accessible from the major highway. I do a lot of deliveries from here. Breakfast was indeed a good meal. Typical diner menu with a few menu exclusives. Check it out if youre in the area. In the same vicinity of Applebees but with a larger food selection.
This place was solid when it opened, but everything has gone downhill except the prices.Sure, if you want something more than an eggs/bacon/toast breakfast or a cheeseburger deluxe, you should consider this place. Their menu has some solid offerings outside (and including) the traditional diner fare. But the quality of the food and the service is very much hit-or-miss and highly unpredictable. One day, its good and on time; the next day, youre waiting 30 minutes for a piece of floppy undercooked, paper-thin bacon.Can only give it two stars since my last two experiences have been wholly underwhelming and the servers were generally apathetic. I havent yet figured out the winning day/time slot, but if I do, Ill post it.
Met family there for breakfast. Have been there many times in the past. Food was hot and delicious, it may have taken 10 mins for order to table. Portions are large, prices are fair, and the diner is spacious. My coffee cup never got cold or low, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend and will continue to meet friends and family here.
We used to love going to this place but it has recently gone downhill. We ordered food for delivery (through an app). Ordered two burgers medium well. The burgers showed up so raw we couldn’t eat them! Being so raw they leaked blood in the containers making the bun and fries mush. On the previous order we ordered a salad and added chicken, but chicken was not on salad. Had to go back to pick up my chicken, was told refunds could not be given over phone to my card. They did rectify the situation by giving me another whole salad with the chicken on it. Not going back after the raw burgers.
The staff and food was wonderful. One of the staff was on her lunch break sitting at the bar next to me and 1 of their regulars stopped and we had a wonderful conversation. I was simply passing through and hate fast food so was lucky enough to find this place. And will stop again when I come through next time period
The food was great. I sat at the bar. However, All the employees were complaining about their guests. I heard everything. One girl said “she never wanted to quit a job more in her life” OUT LOUD. With me and four other people in an earshot. Crazy.The bar wasn’t high for expectations but what a terrible experience.
I was in such a good mood for a Turkey dinner, complete with dressing, potatoes, gravy. The plate came out, heaping with food, looked delicious. The dressing tastes old, like it had been sitting in a tin pan for too long, the gravy didnt really have much flavor and was barely warm. I ate parts that I could. Wish I had said something but was too tired and the server only came by once as they were heading to a different table. I love Diners, will pass on this one. 😥
Great diner good coffee and strong I like my coffee hot so this coffee is hot 3A omelette is stuffed one of the biggest Ive had I just wish they had a meat lovers omelette with all three meats I had the Greek omelette that just had bacon in it wish it had the other meets in it I go to restaurants a lot theyre home fries are one of the best Ive ever had as I said before great diner I hope they had a meat lovers omelet to it
Great diner! Portions are generous at a reasonable price. The kitchen and wait staff can hustle through very busy weekend crowds with ease. Peak times, (Sat/Sunday breakfast) are mobbed and you may need to wait, but thats totally on customers dawdling and nothing to do with the staff. I watch closely because nothing turns me off more than having to wait for service because the staff is on their phones.
Food was good, menu very diverse, staff was friendly and service was fast. This restaurant was featured on Food Network and the billboard caught my eye from the highway. Would have rated it higher but the floor in the entire restaurant (which is very large), was so filthy and sticky and the bathroom was very unkempt... not just from unsanitary customers but thick coats of dust on the walls in the stalls. Makes me wonder about the sanitary conditions of the kitchen. They really need to clean up their act.
Great overall experience. The place was clean. Service was quick and friendly. I had the Parmesan chicken salad, with fresh mozzarella cheese - delicious. My husband had the gyro, not the best he had but ok. The meat was thinking, no lettuce or cucumbers in it. The waitress was quick with soda refill, without being asked. Only fault, some staff were gathered on other side of the both talking loudly. But it could have been another customer.
I ordered on DoorDash, my cheesecake was moldy, and not just a little bit. It was disgusting!!!!🤬🤮🤢When I called them and asked for my money back they offered me a free dessert, needless to say I will never be ordering again!.I tried posting a picture above because you can’t attach to the review.
We didnt even get a chance to eat. After standing waiting to be seated which seemed for eternity, we were finally acknowledged. Only to be told someone we see us. There were no signs of where to go. We were passed by several workers that never even looked at us.Finally we we were told we could set where we wanted to. At least 15 minutes went by no one came over to our table. It was getting late so we left. Waiters were serving other tables and coming back around asking them how everything was. But no one acknowledged us .Super poor service. We called and complained to the manager on duty. He appligisied saying 2 people called out. But that doesnt explain how we were treated and ignored.
Rubber chicken, watery ranch, lemon tiramisu, and violent food poisoning.2 stars was wildly generous and only pertain to the atmosphere, portion size, and swift food prep; although making the chicken too quickly is likely what made me sick.I’d never been here so I tried a staple: chicken tenders and fries. I also got a piece of tiramisu because I try it in every restaurant I go to. I ordered takeout from the counter and paid $42 (plus $2 for the girl who took the order.)I asked for extra ranch as well. The food was ready quickly and there are some fun crane games in the entrance. But the chicken was hard like rubber, every bite like a chewy tendon. The ranch was like water and tasted like nothing, so I’m not too disappointed that she forgot to include the extra. My boyfriend got a burrito which was huge and he said pretty good.The dessert was my least favorite part of this meal, including the food poisoning I got later. I’ve had hundreds of tiramisu in 5 countries and 7 states- and I can definitely say this is the worst tiramisu I’ve ever had. It had lemon in it, and I know the existence of lemon tiramisu, but it’s normally labeled or has lemon zest on top. This was 100% espresso tiramisu, it just seems like someone screwed up the filling and didn’t even soak the lady fingers so it was dry as hell.A few hours later, I’m on my hands and knees in front of the toilet, expelling all the delights that Eveready had to offer. I hadn’t eaten anything else so there is no possibility that this was anything other than poor hygiene in the kitchen.Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe you should try it yourself. But I would recommend skepticism and not ordering poultry. I won’t be revisiting.

2021-12-31Excellent orange juice, possibly the best Ive ever had. Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly to my taste. The frittered French toast looked delightful and my daughter said the waffles were amazing.

2022-02-10Our go to diner whenever we’re in the area. Good amounts of convenient parking. Wait staff can be spotty though. Some are good while others are neglectful and do things like seat you next to the restrooms in an near empty diner.Some of the dishes are outstanding like the fried chicken, fries and pasta meals. Chocolate cake is outstanding also. The only thing I’ve ever hated was their pot pie. Chef has a weird take on pot pie…looks and taste like an over salted plate of vomit.

2021-12-25Red velvet chocolate chip pancakes are an absolute must. Tasted like cake for breakfast. Good burger and chicken and waffles. A lot of chicken with the waffle and the chicken was bone in fyi. Good prices and friendly staff. Would come back. Just think they should make the chicken boneless with the waffle because you have to pick the chicken off the bone to eat it with the waffle which is a little bit of an inconvenience but the chicken was cooked very well and tasted crunchy which paired good with the soft waffle.

2022-01-21I was very disappointed with the outcome of my order this evening. I am retired food industry worker who has worked at all levels of the industry. So i am heartbroken to see the decline in service, quality and acknowledgment of poor food preparation and delivery.I ordered a BLT and had to remove the lettuce. The lettuce is supposed to be the last thing you add to the sandwich and should not be wilted and brown.I took chance and ordered the seafood antipasto. The lesson is mine to learn. The seafood was covered in a opaque film. The shrimp did taste okay- but the scallops were definitely not good- they had a distinct “ foul” odor and sour taste- i did not venture past and had to throw out the entire salad.I also ordered mac and cheese bites and received a side of mac and cheese instead. Oh well i though people make mistakes- but again i tased it and so did my husband( as i thought i was going crazy) the cheese tasted rancid. Maybe they use a three cheese approach- but it still should not taste that way.Thew the whole thing out again. Overall the only good part was my husbands burger was awesome and he enjoyed it very much.Sufficed to say i spent of over 60.00 dollars for a meal for my family- wasted most of it, but lesson learned.Unfortunately i will never order from this establishment in the future. I did call to share my experience: and although the young woman was apologetic; she seemed indifferent.

2022-06-19I always enjoy Eveready. Everyone is very friendly, food is always good and portion sizes are always generous.My particular favorite is the Paramount Chicken sandwich. Old school diner atmosphere. Fresh baked breads, great desserts. You cant go wrong.

2022-05-08Atmosphere, extensive menu and service have always been excellent. Great selection of salads. I don’t live in NY anymore, but enjoy dinning here when passing through on 84 or visiting my parents in Somers. Just an overall friendly environment and always leave satisfied with a full belly!!

2022-06-06A classic Diner, everything was up to par and the famous malted waffle 🧇 was absolutely delicious. Waitstaff was delightful, and Ed was a sight to see. Cant wait to be back again, and wish I lived closer. Enjoy your visit!

2022-03-19So, I had high expectations. The place was pretty busy. They have enormous plates. Very attentative waitstaff. I unfortunately ordered the chicken pot pie. Ive never gotten something so far from comfort food when ordering a pot pie. It was practically inedible, and I took 90% of it home for my dog since he has no expectations of chicken pot pie. My moms Ruben was delicious as was my grandmothers omelet. I also enjoyed the Pea Soup that came with my meal. Just please, please, please, dont waste 18$ on a disgusting pot pie.

2022-04-09Stopped here rather than our favorite Indian restaurant for time considerations. Staff seemed overwhelmed. Food was good, but not worth the delays. Hope they can staff back up, as weve enjoyed dining here in the past.
