Thomas's Ham & Eggery

DinerBreakfastPancakes70-year counter
A seventy-year egg counter that turns tables faster than any diner in Nassau. Come early, come hungry, tip well.

Thomas’s is a tiny, no-frills breakfast counter in Carle Place that has been slinging eggs and pancakes for over seventy years. The line on a weekend morning is part of the deal.

Get the pancakes or the ham-and-eggs the place is named for, sit at the counter, and don’t linger — the whole model is fast, cheap, and exactly the same as it was decades ago. Cash is king.
