Where to stop and eat (w kids) en route to Hamptons from NYC?

Question

Hi! I'm driving out from NYC to Amagansett next week and am looking for two or three places to stop, hit the bathroom, stretch our legs, and eat something/have coffee on the way-- I'll be with one other adult and four kids. Any ideas for gems of diners/coffee shops/bakeries/cafes just off the road on either 495 or the Garden State (or both! We're planning to see what traffic is like before we make our decision). Also, any other Amagansett/East Hampton/Montauk dining-with-kids (or takeout) recs are invited! Thank you in advance...

Answer

Diners just off road: Premier Diner, Commack, Exit 52 LIE 495, eastbound. Since going to South Fork, cut down to NY 27 at some point, Sagtikos Pkwy, etc. Just off 27 you have Peter Pan diner, Howells Rd, Bayshore and California Diner open 24 hour on south service road Patchogue. Also Sweet 'n' Savory of Patchogue, 394 Sunrise Hwy South Service Rd, Patchogue, NY 11772, just past California Diner in Staples Shopping Center has good reviews https://g.co/kgs/yDCDZ1 https://m.facebook.com/SweetnSavoryofPatchogue/ Southampton has Princess Diner on Highway, Hampton Bays has a Friendly's on Montauk Hwy right off Sunrise Hwy 27 exit for Rte 24.

Answer

In Riverhead, the last Exit #73 on the LIE there are several places and also the Tanger Outlet Mall. On Main St in Riverhead: Perabell for nice family fare and an outside deck on the river Turkuaz on the River near the Aquarium Jerry and the Mermaid just East of the Aquarium Joes Garage Snowflake for Ice Cream Funcho's for great Mexican right next to Snowflake Riverhead also has the usual Chain restaurants but I like to support the local family owned places.

Answer

There are not too many diners off of 495, but there is one we like just slightly north of 495 on the east side of Commack Road called the Premier Diner. ~Fred19
