“I had the best pancake here. Classic diner pancake, super fluffy, with powdered sugar, piped vegan butter on top, and real maple syrup. I also got vegan sausage on the side! They have a dedicated vegan section of the menu. The staff is super kind. I went at 10am on a Sunday and it was empty, but was full by 11am“

“Great little place out in Brooklyn. Their frappe was delicious! I ordered Plato’s plate and their eggs were exquisite! Decently crispy bacon. Eating the bacon with the avocado slices was an amazing balance. I’ll probably be back for the banana shake“

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

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“This is one of those classic diners you hope never goes away but are always afraid they're gonna get priced out. They are dirt cheap and they deliver exactly what you'd expect out of a diner. Just get your basics and enjoy a simple life for a moment.“

“A cozy family run cafe with welcoming and friendly staff, their food is AMAZING and cooked with so much love! You CANNOT find any other spot that can beat their prices, that’s forsure!! Their breakfast is delicious - their French toast is a must have btw- and their burgers are great as well as the wraps, food is always served hot and quickly. As for delivery, they always exceed expectations because the food is always earlier than the suggested time and the drivers are very kind and friendly! Definitely recommend visiting, you won’t regret it!! They also have the best servers - Cleo and Aly are the absolute BEST ?“

“Always have great service and have never had a bad meal.“

“ate there for the first time and loved it - the service was great as was the food - we got a reccomondation from from a lady at Howard Beach diner lol“

“Good food not excellent service“

“Ever since I was little, I would go to this restaurant so many times. I have so many fond memories. Even eating it today, it brings back memories of when my mom would take me and my siblings to eat there for dinner. At the time, they would close much later than they do now. Thankfully, I'm already walking home by 2 pm, and since I live close by, the delivery was nice and fast. The food is always delicious, generously well priced, and the customer service is always really nice. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger that came with fries, along with an extra side of onion rings. That came up to $20 on the dot, and with the portions they serve, I was more than happy with that price. I have, and I will continue to go to this amazing restaurant. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.“

“Great place, excellent service, my favorite coffee shop for years..!!!“

“5/5 because it does what a diner should do.

Delicious food. Reasonably priced. Good portion. Good vibes.

My friends and I come here frequently after our late night climbing sessions nearby. I love everything from the mozzarella sticks, curly fries, burritos, burgers, the pickles... Service is always great.“

“Good coffee ☕️ lots of options“

“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!“

“Ate the Chicken and Waffle Brunch! Yummy! The wait staff kept my coffee cup filled the entire time I was seated at my table. Wonderful diner!“

“I love everything about this place. They deliver to my house when I’m lazy on Sundays and I brought two of my kids there and they’re very picky and they love it. Also, the quality of the food you would think that the prices would be way more than they are. This place is a hidden gem. I don’t understand why it’s not packed all the time.“

“A GEM find in Long Island City. Walking distance from our hotel, perfect little diner for breakfast or lunch. We ordered breakfast for lunch:) the pancakes were some of the best we’ve ever had! I had blueberry pancakes & both of my kids had pancakes. They came out fast and steaming hot, PERFECT. And the prices were so reasonable. This is an a must visit!“

“Not really as great as when Perry was running the Diner. Today prices are too high
No real special for the seniors on fixed incomes.. although lots of structural improvements not really some place can go to more than maybe once a month..“

“Be sure to have cash on hand. This place does not have transactions through using your debit card. You have to have cash in order to pay for your food. It does not have a sign that says must have cash, but when my wife and I went to pay for our breakfast we were told cash only. So as a heads up, make sure you have cash in your pocket in order to pay for your food. But overall we love the food we love the service and we love the atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place for anyone.“

“We went for brunch to this restaurant with our grandchildren. We were greeted by the nicest waiters of all time. My husband and I had the Club Sandwich and our grandson had pancakes and bacon. The portions were so generous and quite affordable. Our granddaughter was sleeping in a stroller and the lady who greeted us even helped us tilt the back of her stroller down and find the perfect place to sit to accommodate her. Wonderful place to go for lunch!“

“I came here regularly when the original owner George was in charge. Charming guy who stopped what he was doing to yell Hello to everyone who walked in. The food was regular diner food that he elevated. Huge portions and decent price. He retired or left and people who worked for him took over. I rarely go now. Food is decent but prices went up and portions are smaller. The servers are good and personable. Place seems to always be busy since there are several schools and offices in the area. Still decent but you don't get as much value for your money and no charm and personality from George.“

“Amazing food, best i ever tried 🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“the food was good but the steak quesadilla is great“

“French Toast was very good“

“Dined here several times, the food was always well cooked and filling, the service was friendly and attentive. The prices are also reasonable. Will be back!“

“Michael's is part of a dying breed in the city. A 24-hour diner with a full menu. Everything I ever had here was good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Most of the time being in Michael's is a time warp, the same at 2 PM and 2 AM.

Weekend brunch comes with 2 drinks so if you ever wanted 2 screwdrivers at 11:30 AM on a Saturday along with a huge omlette, they got you.“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

“😋😋😋 buena atención servicio excelente“

“staff is amazing food is always on point, they know just what I want when I walk in! And they are so inviting!! My everyday breakfast spot! One day while sitting there they were preparing a skirt steak and my mouth was salavating! I need to come back one evening and take that to go !“

“The service was great and the food was fresh and tasty. It was a little quiet but maybe it was that time of day. The price was reasonable. Just wished there was specials of the day and maybe a little more items on the menu like a regular diner.“

“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!“

“The burgers are great, breakfast is good as well“

“Went here looking for burger and fries, many places to choose from, went here, amazing pick, burger was DELICIOUS, one of the best I’ve had in a while actually, fries were good too. Price was reasonable, would definitely reccomend, if you just want burger and fries“

“This is a small diner. We went there at 4 pm on a Saturday afternoon. It is really cozy inside. I ordered Lemon Soup and a bacon cheeseburger. My friend got Lemon Chicken and Potatoes, Greek style. The portions were very large. The lemon soup was amazing. The lemon chicken was so juicy and flavorful. My Bacon Cheeseburger was really good. The bacon was huge and roll was really perfect. So delicious. Then we ended with cheesecake. It was a great meal and not that expensive. Thanks guys, we had a good time.“

“The food is always delish at Good Eats their portions are huge and I a brunch special today Breakfast in bed it was amazing took half of it home!!!!“

“Needs to be updated, need to use real cheese. Especially being the most expensive hole in the wall diner. I don't mind spending $25 for a breakfast plate. Just give me real cheese and thank you for still offering rye bread. Owner remembers everyone by face . Good people“

“Great people Good food Very nice place“

“Me and my husband love their food we always come here because it’s always on point with great service also. The staff is great. A place you must go if your around the neighborhood. There a hit an never miss type of thing. I notice alot of people come here so you have to catch them early so you can get a spot. Kinda small diner wish they would get bigger because they are that good but other than that you won’t be disappointed. Amazing food I always come running lol my husband too.“

“One of the best diners i know in queens/ nassau county. From the minute you walk in door there is a host. When you sit down cold ice water is served right away. Wait staff is prompt with taking your order and serving you. They check in on you during your meal. The food is fresh, hot and plenty! Worth the amount you pay. The tables are always clean and not sticky. The best part is no one has any attitude everyone who works here is happy and cheerful... Love this place“

“Love the ambience and the food is delicious!“

“Such a cute place, loved the coffee. Highly recommend!!“

“Bestens für das Frühstück“

“I love a good Diner and this is my favorite one in NYC as of today. The menu is huge and I can’t wait to try everything. Went this morning and got a Chicken Parm Sandwich and my girlfriend got a Cuban, both were delicious. The Texas fries were so good. You need to try this place (especially if you’re hungover)“

“I only order breakfast since I discovered this Cafe in 2019. If I have to come to the bronx, I have to come here because their breakfast will fill me up to the point I can skip lunch??French toast breakfast, with tostones, queso frito, scrambled eggs & homes fries is my go to. Still not tired of it?If only can open at 6am, besides that I recommend this to everyone“
