Last Stop Gourmet Shop

Pros: one of the few original places here in Rockaway still serving great breakfast at a reasonable price. Portions are great and the food (breakfast- I haven’t eaten anything else here) is always fresh. Cons: not the best ambiance (how they keep prices low – next door bagel place is gorgeous but you are paying triple the price) service is relatively slow, have to ask for checks extra water or coffee etc – mind you it’s not a big place. Have to double check the charges. Twice now I’ve been overcharged and had to bring it to their attention. So pay attention to your bill but enjoy the yummy breakfast.

The worst experience I have ever had in in dining was on 3/2/24 approximately 11:30am. I live in the area and occasionally come with my wife and friends. The waitress with long black braided hair waited on me this day. Here is a break down of my awful experience. — my waitress is cleaning my table and instead of gathering the food debris and picking it up she swipes the food debris in my direction onto the floor. I found this odd. — my waitress brings out breakfast with condiments. I noticed the syrup dispenser sliding mechanism was missing no big deal, half way through my meal I was hoping for another cup of coffee. — my waitress was socializing with two other tables and also had the time to go outside but never once approached my table for another cup of coffee nor to check on how my meal was going. I believed this to be a common courtesy. Every other time at your establishment or any eastablishment I was given that courtesy. I got the attention of the other waitress and asked for a cup of coffee and she looked extremely uncomfortable with my request. The coffee never came. — Back to the syrup. When pouring the syrup onto my plate water comes pouring out of the dispenser how does water get into a syrup dispenser. I still did not get the attention of my waitress but the attention of the other waitress who hurried the replacement syrup. –The only other time my waitress came to my table was with the check. No apology. No explanation, nothing. If I could give a rating of less than zero for the service and atmosphere I would have. Shame on me for leaving a tip. To all patrons that are new and frequent this establishment be aware. To the owner and manager this is no coincidence long black braided hair waitress is dangerous for your establishment and possibly your patrons.

Really good solid diner with a lot of diner food classics. This place has been around forever and the inside hasn’t changed that much. The staff are super friendly and they know all their customers really well. They make their food all in-house. I really like their soups the most. Their beef barley soup is really excellent. All of their sandwiches including their egg sandwiches are really well done professionally done and very nice. Good place to sit down for breakfast lunch and dinner. They have daily dinner specials All made in the house. This is a great place to go people viewing as a lot of locals are here and it’s a real authentic New York local scene.
