I haven't been here in a long time and I'm glad I came back. The food is outstanding. The wait staff was courteous. Attentive to my needs and answered all my questions with ease. Definitely be back again thank you. Thank you!

First time there in years, it was packed but we were seated right away, the server was right there, we never had to wait for anything. The food was great and the portions were more than enough. Can't wait to go back.

We tried Riverdale Diner because we happened to be in the area and wanted a sit down breakfast. Even on a busy Saturday morning we were seated right away and our meal came out not long after. Delicious food and great service! (Try the California omelet, and get the potatoes!)
