About

Since 1986, California Diner has been a Long Island staple — a place where locals gather, travelers refuel, and memories are made over milkshakes and meatloaf. From the moment you walk through our doors, you're greeted by the comforting clink of dishes, the hum of conversation, and the aroma of home-cooked favorites hot off the griddle. We’re more than just a diner — we’re a time capsule of good food, good people, and good times.

Built on the belief that a great meal brings folks together, we serve up classic American comfort food with a side of nostalgia. Think golden pancakes, juicy burgers, crisp fries, and homemade pies just like Grandma used to make. Whether you're here for a solo breakfast at the counter or a Sunday dinner with the whole crew, you’ll always be treated like family — no reservations needed.

What keeps us going after all these years? It’s simple: the people. We’ve watched generations grow up in our booths — from first dates and post-game celebrations to late-night laughs and early-morning coffee runs. California Diner is proud to be part of your story, and we can’t wait to keep the tradition alive for years to come.
