THE WORST EXPERIENCE!!! IF YOU SPEAK ENGLISH, FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO EAT IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! I am just returning from the New Hyde Park Diner and I am very upset about my experience!! To begin with, I ordered, for take out, a hamburger and onion rings. I was very shocked when I found that my bill was $22!! Surely, something was amiss!! I discovered that the waitress had given me ONION RINGS *AND* FRENCH FRIES!!! I am big, but not that big!! So, after the order was corrected, my bill came to $14. Still VERY expensive for a hamburger and onion rings! I was thinking, " this had better be one helluva burger"! Oh, and since I was actually craving a steak and was blown away by the $25 steaks on the menu, I opted for a burger with *STEAK SAUCE*. The waitress said ok and gave me a to-go cup of what I thought was steak sauce. I later discovered that the steak sauce was actually BARBECUE SAUCE!! What??? I immediately phoned the diner and asked for the manager. He put me through to the waitress who said that she asked me if barbecue sauce was alright. You've got to be kidding me!!! I asked for STEAK SAUCE and that's what I wanted!! NOT barbecue sauce!! By the way, to me, there is a HUGE difference!! I again asked to speak with the manager and she had told him that I said it was ok for the barbecue sauce. By the way, the DID have steak sauce, because I was offered steak sauce when he asked me to come back and get it. The reason he gave me for all of the problems?? "SHE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH"!! The only thing the manager said is that if I would come back, I could have a side order of steak sauce. ******THE HE PROCEEDED TO HANG UP ON ME!!!***** Oh, and...the food was over cooked and not at all tasty!! I could have gotten a better meal, closer to home and way less expensive, at the Burger King on the corner!!! Overall, an AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!!
**NOT OPEN @$ HOURS!!!***
