Imperial Diner Freeport is inspired by a deep respect for a classic American icon, “The Diner.”

Billy Moustakas and Lana Manetto - and their parents beforehand - have been devoted to serving high-quality classic American diner food at fair prices since 1972!

What sets us apart is an unwavering attention to quality and detail by our talented culinary team to the sourcing of ingredients and preparation of each and every dish. "Scratch cooking" reigns, with most items on the menu made in-house.

Imperial Diner boasts a gelato bar - just like Italy! - and a separate, spacious bar room featuring an impressive beverage program of quality wines, spirits, beer, and “signature” crafted cocktails.

The classic diner décor (but elevated!) offers guests an upscale, comfortable atmosphere and our signature warm hospitality. In addition to the curbside takeout center, new this spring is an expansive, landscaped outdoor (covered) patio, seating sixty guests

    My family and I had brunch yesterday and the food was great. The experience great and the atmosphere was inviting. I had the pumpkin pancakes which were delicious. I always enjoy eating at Imperial. Everyone is so nice and hospitable. The owners Billy and Lana are always nice and welcoming. I highly recommend the Imperial Diner for a fabulous meal. Valerie S.

    We sat on the Patio - traffic was heavy so the noise level as well, bt not unbearable. A quick bite, we had the Santa Fe wrap and a salad with grilled chicken. Must say that the wrap is packed and excellent. Sandy had the salad which was huge, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The Imperial Diner is our go to place for comfort food, a great meal, meet with kids and grand-kids and/or good friends.

    Imperial Diner in Freeport is the kind of place I usually don’t review because I don’t want too many people to find out how good it is. I don’t want it to become so popular that we would have a long wait to get in. It is my favorite diner. The service is always good, the food is always yummy and made the way you request it. It is clean and everyone who works there is friendly and quick to accommodate your requests.
