50 Best Diners near Fairview

“Best food around. great service. very friendly place. love the cocktails.“

“This was our second time going there. Our daughter goes to Pratt and it's walking distance from the school. It's a small diner but friendly staff. On one of the coldest days of winter the host made sure people were not waiting long for tables as best as she could. The food was good and service was really good. I'm glad my daughter has a place like this close to her dorm.“

“1st time visiting,the staff were lovely and food amazing On my next visit I will be back“

“I really enjoyed this place. It has some retro charm. It even had a Photos booth and the food was good. The desserts were amazing. Largest milkshake I’ve ever seen in person and the staff was really nice and friendly and Alfredo the manager was really good guy.“

“I liked the menu options a lot, a good variety of diner food w/ some French inspired dishes. Our waiter was funny and really nice lol. Place is kinda small, but we didn’t have to wait at all even though it’s a no res spot. They gave us a small ice cream and whipped cream dessert for new years 🥹 Overall, I had higher expectations for the food based on the price points so was a little disappointed

- French onion soup ($19): 7/10, I LOVE French onion soup, but the broth wasn’t as flavorful or onion-y as I would’ve liked. Was pretty excited about this but disappointed. It was filled to the brim, which is great in theory, but it was lowkey hard to start eating it without it spilling over
- Patty melt ($21): 8/20, pretty solid, but lowkey reminds me of the melt from Waffle House lol
- Fries: 7/10, standard
- Complimentary ice cream w/ whipped cream: 7/10, standard ice cream, but it was nice that it was free 🥹

*Note: Wanna try their escargot and steak next time“

“This Manhattan diner was neat and clean, and the food was definitely good. The staff was friendly, but one downside was that they charged for refills on small cups, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, a solid spot for a tasty meal if you’re in the area, just be aware of the extra charges, they will try to be sneaky.“

“execelent mexican Food and drink“

“Excellent neighborhood diner. This was my first visit and I will return. Service is friendly, not effusive, so perfect from my perspective. The atmosphere is vibrant with many frequent customers, adding to the neighborhood vibe that makes this a good place to visit ... and maybe add to your diner experiences.

I had the weekend omelettw and cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. The chorizo and goat cheese blended so well in the omelette. The cinnamon roll was memorable, definitely among the best I have had.

A solid, enjoyable, memorable visit.“

“Good food & service, very clean, and parking.“

“I didn’t expect a full blown broadway show experience in a restaurant! If you want show tunes and pop music served with a plate of great food then this is the place for you! Our server Brandi M. belted out a wicked version of The wizard and I! I ordered the BLT with avocado and waffle fries and my friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were delicious.“

“Came 2 times and didn't disappointed both of times. Very good food, large quantities and very nice staff. Price is in general less than 20$ a person so for a nice breakfast and lunch that last a Good amount of times it's worth it!“

“Fantastic breakfast, lunch, brunch, food, and a unique and quite camp restaurant. Definitely recommend this place and we will be back.

The food was fantastic and you could tell they used good quality ingredients. The Zorba platter was filling, fresh, and hit the spot. The blueberry baby cakes were amazing.

There was a funny picture frame in the bathroom titled Baby of the year with a Google review of someone who said the food was great, but the service was bad. Just found that funny; nothing else to say.“

“A classic NY luncheonette. Good food! Quick service! Fun vibe! Real old school menu with Dr Browns and I like that. French toast and the ham frittata. Sourdough toast was good too real nice. They also had a good music playlist playing which was good“

“The food? AMAZING. The service? EXCEPTIONAL. The atmosphere? NOSTALGIC. The spiced apple cider?!??!?? TO DIE FOR. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this warranted it. This place is a must go. Don’t sleep on it, folks. And this ain’t A.I., this is a real Black man giving his full-chested opinion. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Amazing food as always. Been three times so far and I will be back again this week for more 👌🏻“

“This diner is excellent. Food and service fantastic. Great vibe! We came to NY from London for Christmas and my son's 40th and wanted an iconic diner. Thank you to Genevieve and staff for your fantastic welcome! Sarah“

“Excellent diner overall. Highly recommend.“

“Had breakfast there twice. Once solo and the next time with my wife. Consecutive Tuesdays. Just there this morning, after the golf range at Chelsea Piers. It's a combination of Greek and Mexican specialties. I have sampled the eggs overeasy with corned beef and this time had three poached eggs with fresh tomato and feta, home fries and coffee. All wonderful. My wife had fried eggs with ham on top of grilled taco. She loved it. This is a top notch diner with excellent service.“

“I have loved this place for years. It’s has this really warm, old school diner atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious without any delay. The staff are so sweet and it’s just such a great experience every time. I’m there almost weekly at this point and it’s just the perfect way to start my day.“

“The stuff are accommodating and nice.“

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“We love Colonial Diner and have been going there for years. They have the best food and best staff, along with an amazing atmosphere. My three year old asks to go there for practically every meal and we are always greeted like family when we walk through the door. This is the best diner I’ve ever been to. Run -don’t walk- and get ANYTHING from the menu; you won’t regret it!“

“The entire experience left nothing to be desired. The location selected for Townhouse Diner proves its worth daily. Workers' approach: excellent. Alert and practiced. The dishes satisfy the taste buds, use fresh items, and appear visually striking. The restaurant sits in a perfect area and the employees were attentive throughout.“

“Delicious food. You get a lot of food for the price. Great NYC diner!“

“Jean’s has such a great vibe — effortlessly cool, intimate, and lively at the same time. The atmosphere makes it perfect for a date or a fun night out. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the cocktails are standout — balanced, creative, and dangerous in the best way. The music and crowd add to the energy without overwhelming the space. Service is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. Jean’s never disappoints and is always a good time“

“Amazing breakfast and we where very well looked after👍💵good price“

“Stopped by Tria Bakery Cafe Diner while waiting out a 2-hour wait at Golden Diner. We were starving and didn’t want to stand around in the cold, and this place ended up being the perfect move. It’s only about a 6-minute walk from Golden Diner, and we were able to sit down, stay warm, and enjoy good food and coffee while we waited. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and exactly what we needed. Definitely glad we came here.“

“Fantastic food awesome service. 10/10 from me“

“First time there today! Best Western Omelet I've ever had. Could barely finish it. Louie, the owner is a joy to talk with. You have to go check it out! Lunch menu looks great too. Parking right across the street. Will be there again next week“

“Maria was a wonderful waitress. The food was excellent. Thanks for a memorable dinner“

“Breakfast was amazing. Really southern food cooked to perfection. The grits were really good. I'm funny with scrambled eggs but they were a 10 out of 10! The owner was friendly patient and had excellent customer service.This is my new spot.“

“Everything I've had here has been amazingly good. Best Gyro platter. Good pastrami sandwich. Meatloaf dinner was great. Fries are awesome. What's best is the courteous and fast service.“

“Food was good and environment was friendly“

“There are so few places left on earth that feel truly authentic. We are so consumed by how many 5 star reviews somewhere got, or if it’s been sprinkled with magic influencer dust that I think we’ve forgotten to appreciate things for exactly who and what they are. The Cosmic Diner is EVERYTHING. The food is exactly what you would expect it to be, which is greasy and no frills and served with diner coffee and creamer in the little rip off containers - the delightful opposite of artisanal. The waiters are gruff. The food comes out in 6 minutes. The owner is there greeting everyone who walks in the door. This place has REGULARS, older people who are clearly here every day with their newspapers and their talking points about baseball and city life and their health ailments. It’s like time stopped here for a minute, and smartphones haven’t been invented yet, and maybe Jerry and George and his pals may waltz in from the 90s at any minute. You don’t come to places like this for a michellin meal - you come to remember what it was like when the world was slower, to sit with neighbors as they share their weekly breakfast, or to be an observer, like me, a person who isn’t from here but is so grateful that places like the Cosmic Diner still exist. Give them a visit. Take a moment to time travel.“

“Wait staff was friendly and you were not pushed to finish dinner. We had the shrimp po' boy and the grilled ribeye open face steak sandwich. I asked for my French fries to be extra crispy and they were delicious. After driving for almost 5 hours, sitting in rush hour traffic and construction, this diner made our day and on a really great note.“

“Classic American diner, lovin it“

“Maria was a wonderful waitress. The food was excellent. Thanks for a memorable dinner“

“Just a quick stop on my new daily walk, stumble upon this place for some hot chocolate. Loved the family, local neighborhood vibe. I'll come back to eat! 🤣 Hot Chocolate with milk was nice - smooth milk chocolate to finish out my walk.“

“What an amazing place to have breakfast we both had the big breakfast’s one with waffles and I had the French toast! Utterly delicious and throughly recommend a visit. We are on holiday from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so glad I found this place and we will be back with our children next year.“

“I come from Pennsylvania to visit and this is my favorite place to eat all the time super good and very good coffee.“

“Hit the spot. I had the “Mexican” Omelette with added ham. Along with what looks to be actual home fries made from actual non processed potatoes.. not the chopped up store bought kind.. Either I was exhausted from walking all day and it being 2 AM, or this food was just that good! Never the less, I will definitely be eating there again!“

“Amazing food, Sal’s never disappoints. Been coming for years to this black-owned halal restaurant, after my dad first introduced me, and I have never had a bad experience. Sal and Mohamed are very sweet and helpful — will always be a local staple!“
