50 Best Diners near Astoria

“Today June 24th I had lunch here with a friend. It was my first time. Passed this cafe but never tried it. Well the food was delicious, prices reasonable and the waitress Eloise was delightful! I had vegetable quesadella. My friend had an egg white vegetable omelet with hash browns. The portions are generous! Our waitress Eloise made the dining experience here pleasurable. Would definitely go back!“

“Really enjoyed this place. There were only about four other people when I arrived around 5:20 p.m. The bartender/waitress let me sit where I wanted and she brought me a perfect margarita. I had the chicken enchiladas suizas Verdes. They were amazing and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this spot.“

“Landed at LaGuardia just after midnight and needed something quick and dependable. Stopped by Michael’s around 1am and it delivered. Classic burger and fries were solid and hit the spot. No complaints. Open 24 hours, which is huge after a late flight.“

“Love this diner. It's small so it feels cozy and the all the people are sweet and warm from the woman at the cash to the waiters, just a pleasant vibe overall. The food is standard diner stuff but on the consistent side all the times I've been there which is all you can ask for really.“

“Empire Diner is more than just a diner, it’s an institution of Chelsea. Pricier than your average diner, their cuisine takes on daring takes of original flavors. Massive drink list and a very cool atmosphere to boot. Across from Clement Clarke Moore Park and just under an amazing art mural. This is a place to impress and you will be impressed by this spot.“

“We absolutely loved Townhouse Diner! We ended up coming here almost every day during our stay in New York because it quickly felt like our home away from home.
The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always made us feel so comfortable. The food was exactly what you’d hope for from a classic New York diner—delicious, generous portions, and always satisfying. Everything we tried was great!
What we loved most was the warm atmosphere and the way everyone treated us like regulars from day one. It really made our trip even more special.
If we come back to New York, we will definitely return to Townhouse Diner. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and amazing service!“

“execelent mexican Food and drink“

“Just to start this review off, a word of advice...do not order pick up via Seamless from this diner. Every time I have done this, without exception, I have had to stand and wait as my order hasn't even been started yet - and I do arrive at designated pick up time. Interestingly if you order delivery it arrives in 15 mins:) That aside, this is hands down the best diner food I have encountered. It never fails to amaze me when I see the lines outside Gramercy Diner where the food is terrible when this place is so much better!! Highly recommended, with the atmosphere and decor of a classic diner should you choose to eat in rather than take away.“

“Wonderful little spot. The food was delicious and the staff very attentive and professional. There aren't many spots in the area where the menu is full of variety especially breakfast. Their egg white omelette is delicious and their fresh coffee must try.
Be prepared to wait the line is long.“

“Instantly became my favorite diner spot in NYC on first visit. Solid coffee. Breakfast burritos were my favorite! Also ordered Parmesan truffle fries and lemon ricotta pancakes that were decent, minus the wow factor. Scrambled eggs were perfect.

Small space. We waited 15 minutes on a Sunday morning before 11am. Our waitress was super impatient/borderline rude, yet I left knowing I will be coming back again.“

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

“Got the blueberry waffle and frappe. The waffle was freaking amazing and the coffee was pretty good and strong too! I definitely recommend

My friends say the wait is hours long on weekends. I went Friday around noon and it was only about 15 minutes!“

“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.“

“Squire’s Diner is one of those places that reminds you why local diners are still the best. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. You can tell care goes into the food, and the portions were generous too. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, satisfied, and already thinking about what you’ll order next time.

The service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. No complaints here.

If you’re looking for good comfort food, reasonable prices, and a hometown diner vibe, Squire’s Diner is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for sure!“

“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1(8O5)-41O 5OO2 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic location. Delicious food (Bird's the Word is my favorite) and very charming. The wait isn't too bad even on weekends. They also let me store my suitcases in the hall when I'm on the way to thr airport. Only things to note is that inside it gets LOUD as it's a small space, and it's pretty pricey. Completely worth it though! <3“

“Highly recommend!

I booked a large group reservation here for a surprise birthday dinner, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The food was excellent, and throughout the night our friends kept commenting on how delicious everything was.

A special shoutout to Antonio, our server, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. The rest of the staff were also exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had a group of 20 people, and they handled our orders in a very organized manner. Despite the size of our party, the food came out quickly and everything was accurate.

Thanks to the outstanding service, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the celebration. I brought a birthday cake, and the staff helped set it up with candles and even sang with us. It was such a thoughtful, heartwarming gesture that made the night even more special.

The restaurant is conveniently located near Lincoln Center, making it a great choice before or after a show. Plus, they're open early and late every day, which makes planning easy.

We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back. Thank you to Antonio and the entire team for helping make the birthday celebration so memorable!“

“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“

“Came over for a breakfast after going to the 9 AM Trinity Church service and was not disappointed! Service was outstanding, and our lovely waitress Cathy recommended the incredible Manhattan wrap. Kids got great chocolate chip pancakes as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!“

“Please make your next night out at Crispin's. I came here on a Friday night on a fluke because it was raining and got sangria to pass the storm. It quickly turned into wine, free bread, and the best pappardelle bolognese I've had (and priced so well at $18 for fresh pasta). The owner was so great, and I genuinely hope his business succeeds as much as he was so nice to me. Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“Staff was super attentive and kind. Even offered to turn up the temperature when I’d mentioned to my friend I was cold (I declined but an appreciated gesture).

Unfortunately the jerk chicken fell short for me. It was very dry. I also ordered a margarita that was quite sour and unbalanced.

The four stars are for the service!“

“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.“

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

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

“The food was ok, but the service felt rushed. The staff kept coming to our table every couple of minutes, and as soon as we finished eating, the check was placed on the table. It made us feel pressured to leave rather than enjoy the experience.“

“le brunch le plus incroyable de New York, Des pancakes exceptionnel en quantité gargantuesque Beaucoup de choix et un service très sympathique“

“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.“

“Everything about this diner was great. Food, service, cleanliness. Would definitely go back on my next trip to New York!! 🍔🍗🥓“

“Max and Mike were absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Last minute and on the spot we decided to do dinner at the hotel. They served all 10 of us and we left the entire experience in awh! They handled our large group with such TLC— and we aren’t an easy group!! The BEST part of our trip was the food and service they provided ✨✨ (the atmosphere also feels so private even though it isn’t… lovely feels)“

“It's 2026 and you get a great super filling breakfast at a price you cannot imagine!
Toast, 2 good size hash browns and 2 eggs just for $6! Big coffee mug just for $2.
Great vintage ambience and warm staffs. You guys are amazing and wish you all the great things!“

“Todo el tiempo Comida exquisita deliciosa. Visiten para probar😋deli☺️“

“Had the most amazing breakfast sandwich on a roll here. The french toast is hyped up for a reason - it had the most amazing flavor and texture, and it pairs great with their strawberry jam. Service here is incredible, everyone is so kind and welcoming. They’re very conscientious of dietary restrictions. Def a great, affordable breakfast spot in Brooklyn !“

“Would have never guessed it... great staff, very clean... got exactly what i asked for... great selection of breakfast dishes... did i mention it was so clean... the ketchup bottle has absolutely no residue and it had been used... will return“
