Here are this year’s winners of Best Breakfast on Long Island.
Long Islanders Voted Maureen’s Kitchen in Smithtown Best Breakfast on Long Island!
1. Maureen’s Kitchen
108 Terry Rd., Smithtown. 631-360-9227
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and Maureen’s helps get you off to a good start. Located in a quaint Victorian house, the cooking is home-styled and the portions are extremely generous. The popularity of this establishment is apparent, and there is always a significant number of patrons dining there, as well as cow-themed decorations. Moo-rific!
2. Thomas’ Ham & Eggery
325 Old Country Rd., Carle Place. 516-333-3060
Thomas’ Ham & Eggery is a Long Island original. You can tell by the continuous line in and out of the door. Serving up hot breakfast right in the pan Thomas’ is as authentic Long Island as it gets. And after you finish breakfast ask for a piece of pound cake. You’re welcome, in advance.
3. The Cook Room
25 Middle Country Rd., Middle Island. 631-696-4260
This cozy breakfast spot gives huge portions and uses local ingredients in their dishes, which is pretty awesome. If you are looking for a fresh, home-style, classic breakfast, The Cook Room is the place to be.

Great Egg Sandwich Wrap
I’ve been there several times, and I’ve still not had a good experience at Thomas’. Average omelets, insipid home fries, mediocre to terrible coffee, indifferent to surly service; add on atrocious parking, and I don’t see its popularity.
