“I've been eating at the NY Diner in Valrico, Fl. ever since Laurie & Jeff took it over many years ago, not sure of the year, 2009 ?, somewhere around there. Anyhow, obviously I've been a Happy Camper there for some time. The business has been sold, I believe three times since then... and I've stayed with the diner faithfully. This review bringing 5 Stars on Service & Atmosphere, but only 4 on food which is being gracious. Why?... Read on.............. My favorite meal is Breakfast of which there are many variations, mine being "NY Strip Steak & Eggs" of which I have always been very happy with at close to $20.00 or slightly higher that demands a $4.00 or $5.00 Tip... last of the Big Spenders? Ha!... what can you buy for $5.00 lately? Some time back, a year or so ago, someone in power changed their Steak Supplier, I assume to increase profits... yes I've asked, no I've received no answer. From that time on, the steak was loaded with fat, no bones, and outstanding in its length, width, and thickness. I must confess it looked delicious laying there in the plate. However, when attempting to cut it with the sharp knife supplied, (ugh) it was near impossible to cut. It was like trying to cut a soft rubber tire... the meat simply rolled back and forth with the knife regardless of from which angle it was cut. Anyhow, after extended cutting, having a few squares to eat... I found that the meat was, as expected, also next to impossible to chew, and was tasteless. In the time frame since the last owner took over, I have occasionally ordered this same Steak & Eggs order, perhaps a month or two between orders, hoping that the diner had returned to their previous supplier... no such luck as the steak was always as explained above... a waste of my time and money. I don't know how something on the plate could look so good, so delicious... to be so disappointing! My last time at the diner, June 10th, 2024, longing for a good delicious steak, I spoke with a waitress who has been there since day one so to speak. I spoke to her about the steaks quality going downhill since the new supplier took over, and asked if possibly the owner may have reverted to his original supplier. She didn't know. I decided to chance it... and ordered the Steak & Eggs breakfast. Upon having my breakfast sat on the table... it was indeed something to behold, BUT as I attempted to cut into it... it was all the same as before... actually worse! In thinking about it, I would explain it to anyone as a thick slice of rubbery meat from a whale the Titanic hit prior to the iceberg, possibly a dead horse that had passed away due to old age, something of that nature, but surely not a NY Strip Steak! Note that this review pertains to just the NY Strip Steak & Eggs breakfast, and nothing else. I will continue to dine there, eating all else from the menu, excepting the NY Strip Steak.“

“We had a wonderful breakfast cooked to perfection. Sherry P. was our server and went out of her way to make sure everything was excellent. She was so personable and kind and it was a pleasure to meet her. When we are in Tampa again, we will definitely be back and ask for Sherry!“

“My wife and I had an awesome experience at Dennys in Brandon, Florida. We had a waiter named Kass Sana. He provided us excellent customer service, he was polite, professional, curious, patient and made sure he provide very good service!! He is a valuable asset to your staff and company!! Kass keep up the excellent customer service you provide and know that others are watching you with a positive attitude and want to be a blessing to you, since you are truly a blessing to your daily customers!! Good luck in all your future endeavors!! May God continue to bless you, your family, friends and co-workers!! Also may he keep you safe and healthy!!“

“UPDATE: they recently ditched their services with Aramark and let me tell you i was pleasantly surprised to see their complete rebranding. the food quality is actually good now. things as simple as dishes and cups are no aesthetically pleasing. they changed their menu as well. butter chicken actually tasted like real butter chicken

older review: much poorer service than the other dining halls. food quality is lacking overall. the mediterranean and indian food is so inauthentic. as someone that grew up with both cuisines/cultures, the food they serve is an insult to real authentic mediterranean/indian food.“

“Joe's New York Diner Tampa I had to stop by this place to give it a try. From the outside it looks a little quirky but don't be fooled. On the inside it has a 50's diner vibe written all over it. This is one of my double hitter places as in I got Dinner one day and because it was so good I went back the next day to for Breakfast. First of all, this place was clean and very cool inside. The Menu was huge with lots of items to choose from. I love the 50's vibe of this place. Seems like a lot of locals eat here and now I know why. For Dinner I got the Ruben which came with Fries, Soup and Cole Slaw. My wife got the Ham Club which came with Fries and Coleslaw. We also ordered an appetizer of Onion Rings. When the Onion Rings came out, they looked amazing, and they were. These were the best Onion Rings that I had since moving down here. My Ruben was very good and had lots of Corn Beef on it. The Fries were golden brown and there were plenty of them. The Soup tasted homemade and was very good as well. The Coleslaw was in a small container, but it was good. My wife's Ham Club was also good and too much for her to finish. Her Fries was just as good as mine. Our waitress Jade was amazing. She answered any questions we had and knew the menu like the back of her hand. When she took our orders, she never wrote anything down. I thought boy, she is going to screw up our orders for sure but no, she had everything that we ordered down perfectly. She checked on us a bunch of times and even held a conversation about living in the area. I really enjoyed that meal and our conversation. For Breakfast I ordered Ham. 2 Eggs, Potatoes and Rye Toast. This meal filled my plate, and I could not eat everything. Tara was my waitress, and she did a fantastic job, I wanted Decaf Coffee as I have heart issues and Tara did not bat an eye about making a pot just for me. She came by a couple times asking if I needed anything. Everything was good and the Ham was thick, and the Eggs and Potatoes were done just the way I liked them. I loved the meals we ate there, and they made us feel like family. All our food was hot and flavorful. They also have an outside Patio to seating if you like. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars. You have stop by this quirky little place you won't be sorry. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See You On My Next Adventure Gulf Coast terry“

“Grabbed lunch on our way to the airport to head back to Boston and was not disappointed! My daughter ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and I ordered the chicken bacon ranch bowl. Both were delicious. Comfortable atmosphere, clean tables and attentive staff. Highly recommend!“
