Harold's Diner is a small brick diner at 641 William Hilton Parkway, on the Route 278 stretch by Singleton Beach. It is loud, cramped and proudly rowdy, and that is the whole point. The staff hand out attitude with the eggs, and most guests go home saying it was the best breakfast show on the island.

How Ordering Works at Harold's

You order in person. There are no phone orders. The counter has paper order slips: fill one out, hand it over and wait for your name. Harold's is cash only, and there is an ATM on site if you forget. Seating is limited, around twenty seats including counter stools, so come early or plan on some patience. First-timers get one tip from regulars: read the diner rules on the wall, and follow them.
