Peconic Diner

"June 2024 at the Peconic Bay Diner: A Memorable Disappointment In June of 2024, I made the regrettable decision to dine at the Peconic Bay Diner in Riverhead, New York. My expectations were high, given the diner's reputation, but unfortunately, the reality was a far cry from my hopes. From the outset, the lack of attentiveness from the staff was evident. It took an excruciating 20 minutes before anyone even approached our table to offer drinks. To add insult to injury, the wait for our food stretched to a grueling hour. When the food finally arrived, it was a major letdown. My order of mussels marinara was nothing more than plain oil and garlic, a far cry from the flavorful sauce I had envisioned. My fiancé's wings were equally unimpressive, lacking any discernible flavor. The overall experience at the Peconic Bay Diner was deeply disappointing. Given the numerous negative reviews from other customers, it's clear that the diner's issues are not isolated incidents. Until there's a genuine improvement in both service and food quality, I would strongly advise anyone considering a visit to choose a different establishment.

"We had been before it changed hands and liked it, gave it a try but pretty disappointed. The eggs were overcooked in two dishes, two things that should have been toasted were not, slow to get the bill and then some issue. Not likely to be back, they really need to sort out their kitchen. Feels pretty generic in there too."

"We finally made it here. I'm giving it a good review because we had a nice meal and also to counter some of the 1-star reviews which I think are a little harsh, especially it being so new. Our waitress, who was very nice, mentioned there were some computer issues in the opening days which is understandable. I miss the old diner, but this was not a one-star experience. They've put a lot into renovations and overall, I thought it was nice. I do wish the coffee was stronger/ more flavorful but I wish that at most places. I thought the eggs Benedict (which is what I went there for) were tasty and tasted like they should. The potatoes looked crispy but wish they were actually crispier. They did add peppers which was nice. Wish it was a little cheaper, but then, I wish that pretty much all the time these days. It was pretty much the going rate. Wife's pancakes tasted good. Overall it was a good experience and we'll be back. I'm glad this place is open and hope it just gets better and better. With the work they've put into the renovations I'm hopeful that it will."

"Well I’d like to say I love the new renovation! I see lots of people upset it is not the same as the previous owners but they must be close minded people or Racists. Yeah I said it because I saw it! I love the twist and flavor they added to the food & atmosphere. Keep striving Peconic Diner! Looking forward for good specials & happy hour, youll be seeing me again."

"uhhh i wouldn’t recommend coming here the food is okay but not flavorful and i ended up getting crab cakes that were so cold in the middle and just i did not feel comfortable eating it. i addressed the issue to the manager and she rolled her eyes at me and just was rude. miss the old owners this was a staple in riverhead will not be returning biggest downgrade and you don’t have the giant rainbow sprinkle cookies anymore…."
