Red Oak Diner & Lounge

10/17/2013 \r One word: Dirty\r This diner used to be really good until recently. My last 2 dining experiences were not enjoyable (to say the least) Had lunch there in August and spent the hour waving off flying bugs. October 16th had lunch and was given dirty utensils (twice) The second set appeared to have not been washed at all. With that, lost appetite and left (without paying bill as we did not eat what was ordered) Needless to say I will not be going back there [ever]. And based on several of the other reviews, neither will others: \r i.e. Robert M. 10/1/2013- The Red Oak used to be our favorite diner until my wife spit out a cockroach that was in her omelet! Now we know as gross as that is that it does happen but the response from the waitress when we told her was, honest to GOD, ""thank you for not making a scene because last week a woman found a roach in her food and started screaming at the top of her lungs""!!! Uh really...how about getting a better exterminator? The manager didn't make us pay and thanked us for not making a scene! I will never step foot in that place again! \r more

Occasionally the service at Adelphi is merely good but more often thant not it's perfect. The owner must make a concerted effort to inculcate his staff of mostly 20-something servers with what it means to give friendly, efficient service. As soon as you sit down you're brought a carafe of water with a lemon slice in it. The staff almost always gets my order exactly right. And it's fast too. I haven't tried a lot of different dishes because I love their turkey club sandwiches. And the always make them as instructed: Well browned rye toast and well browned fries. I also like their gyros. The portions are oversized, like most diners these days and the prices are moderate considering portion size, service and location. Pros: Great Service, Large Portions, Plenty of Parking Cons: None. more
