Old school diner/restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. These Greek diners are disappearing and it was nice to find one thriving. The daily soup that came with our meal was homemade and delicious. Our server was super nice and very attentive. Older folks seem to love this spot. They know their regulars but were very welcoming to us newbies. Bread basket, free coffee refills, etc. add to the overall friendliness of Palatine Inn.

Stopped in here for the first time this morning for breakfast and had a spectacular experience. My kids loved the Oreo pancakes on the kids menu, I enjoyed a tasty skillet, and my wife raved about her bacon avocado omelette! Great local place with generous portions and reasonable prices. The staff was also very welcoming and attentive. We will be back!

Been meeting friends here for years and it's a reliably good place for an inexpensive breakfast or lunch (have never been for dinner), with lots of choices in the standard diner categories. The food is fast, service is friendly. Last time I was there, I asked for a special order (Greek chicken breast for breakfast) and was really happy.

Great food. They also serve awesome breakfast, all day long. They don't light the saganaki up in front of you, so it kind of ruins the experience but it was delicious. The Greek pork chops were juicy and delicious. Huge portion. Sorry I forgot to take pictures right away. It's a nice place to still have open, with a huge menu. 3 home made soups every day. They also have a bar! Huge plus. Im glad we found this place.

Everyone there was so welcoming & patient. My coffee was refilled multiple times. It was the best matzo ball soup I've had & the Mediterranean Wrap was insanely delicious!!! My kids gave Palatine Inn 100 stars... Out of ten.
