Malverne Diner

love the diner and the food...the lemon orzo soup is the best...sassy waitress...she is the best...always feel at home at the malverne diner...love the staff

Last time I went to the Malverne Diner I really didn't like it and I vowed never to go again unless I absolutely had to.  That was many years ago and I don't even remember the reason why I hated it.  

Last week, after the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy, my girlfriend and I decided that going out to dinner might take our minds off of everything for a while.  However, due to the gas crisis, we knew we had to keep it local.  The Malverne Diner had electricity and was within walking distance, so, we decided to give it a try.  We were not the slightest bit disappointed with out choice.  The food was good, but the real highlight was the friendly service that our waitress provided.  We overheard her saying that she had been there since 7AM, a long shift, but her service and friendliness never wavered and she made us feel welcome and appreciated.  After a crazy week of destruction, sadness, anger and anxiety, the Malverne Diner, for us, was a temporary shelter from the storm.
