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 live in Cutchogue and I've been coming here my whole life. As someone else mentioned "the diner" (as we call it) is an authentic mobile car with an addition extending it in the back. Theoretically, it could be attached to a truck and rolled away, in which case I, and many others, would be forced to form a caravan behind it. I have a lot of memories here but I won't go into all that. Let's focus on the rating criteria.
It's a very casual, cozy place on the old country, "downtown" Cutchogue strip on the Main Road. It is elevated with windows running along the front which makes for great people and car watching and sunshine. The staff are warm, welcoming, accommodating and very local. The food is good and the old school milkshakes are to die for.
As demonstrated by their restaurant in Dumbo, the owners are completely capable of serving a more gourmet menu. That is simply not their vision of a landmark (seriously) diner down the street from the Amish furniture shop, the Cutchogue Library and Wickham's Fruit Farm. They are keeping it real, authentic and delicious but focused on the overall experience, not just the food quality.
Woop!
One of the best diners on Long Island and certainly the best east of Riverhead. A real throw-back to the diners of the fifties down to the menu. Simple, standard diner fare with exceptional pancakes and daily specials that could vary more often than they do. Still, this place is a great find for a fun breakfast. Be aware: service can be slow and waits may be a bit lengthy on weekends, especially in peak tourist season.
Review Source: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. Â The waitress was friendly. Â The menu was simple but had all of the requisite diner dishes. Â The food came quickly and tasted just fine (I had a very filled ham and cheddar omelet accompanied by curly French fries). Â 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. Â 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.
i love the concept of diners but am always wary that the food is bad. we were checking out north fork one winter morning and drove by cutchogue diner past our lunchtime and decided to pull over. Â of course looking at menu, i want everything and then saw the specials board and got chix potpie. the guy got fried chix in a basket. Â both were great as i'm sure everything else is excellent, for a diner. the place really started filling up as we were eating. very friendly workers too! Â place closes at 3pm. Â i heard other patrons who couldn't decide on what pancakes to get that ended up ordering 1 banana, 1 choco chip, 1 apple. someone else wanted one egg sunnyside up, one scrambled. Â it's cool that they let you order whatever you want--never would happen in the city! Â be sure to grab a blueberry cream pie at briermere farm (in riverhead) on they way back to NYC.
Review Source:Great old style ny diner! Â Don't expect classy meals, but do expect nice friendly service, and the usual diner food. Â Top quality, and you have to get a shake while your there!! Â It is a great stop if your heading to the Orient pt ferry to New England, or through wine country. Â The diner is sure to please. Â
I would reccomend traveling to this diner, either in the fall while the trees are changing, rt 25 is beautiful that time of year, or the spring/summer as the sights are nice, but beware of traffic in the nice weather.
this place receives 4 stars because as Yelp 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 decor is classic red/white diner decor...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) :)
We're taking it back a few decades... welcome to north fork long island, circa 1950s. Farms, hicks and wide open land Huzzah! Cut-cha-geew diner reminds you of this and stays true to its roots. The decor is traditional and most likely original, minus a few upgrades like the seats and such. You can see they tried to match it all up. Me and two very good friends stopped in here for a bite before wine tasting for the day. It was sweet, the service was personal, fast and smiling. The food was A-OK (thanks yelp for the expression), your typical diner fare. The place is tiny and there isn't much parking but it's worth the nostalgia trip. I'll be stopping in again, im sure :)
Review Source:Welcome back to the 1950s! Â No, this isn't a themed diner, but rather it's still a chrome-plated teensy tiny diner in an airstream! Â Very cool greasy spoon, but the quarters are a little tight. Â And parking is a nightmare on the main drag in Cutchogue. Â It's fun for a one-time visit.
