50 Best Diners in Brooklyn

“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.“

“execelent mexican Food and drink“

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

“Randomly found this hidden gem & I seriously wanted to gatekeep. But they deserve their flowers fr!! I'm obsessed with their pancakes in the griddle stack combo!! And the smash browns???? CHEF'S KISS. I'm definitely going to start coming here more regularly. I love me a lil crispy crunchy moment and you get all of that and more with the smash browns. Cause they fry the smash browns with peppers. Then it's topped with tomatoes and green onions. Everything I've ever wanted in a bite! Seasonal depression? WHERE? Good Ol Days Diner healed my soul baby lmao“

“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.“

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

“Best diner I've been to in all of NYC! The servers treat you like family even if you only go once and the food is unbelievably good and fresh. The patty melt, reuben, and challah french toast are so amazing that I could eat them all every day.“

“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!“

“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.“

“A quiet little luncheonette with plenty of seating. The place had its interior recently done over and is pleasing to the eye. This place has been in business by the same owner for over 30 years now, and whether it's breakfast or lunch you won't be disappointed. Moderately priced!!“

“This is one of those hidden gems that only locals know about. I was looking for a diner style place to eat, and this came up. And we decided to give it a try and boy, was I not disappointed. It definitely brings you back to like the nineties with the décor and style. However, the service and the food were on point. Our food and our service were fast and delicious.“

“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“

“I've had burgers from here twice, both were great! The brewed iced tea is good. The coffee and flan are great. Just be aware, it's cash only.

Update: Oh, my goodness, the meatloaf sandwich! This is not your grandma's meatloaf. If it is your grandma's meatloaf why are you thinking about eating out? Go see Grandma! Otherwise, get in here! No photos, I ate too fast!“

“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 !“

“Oh my goodness.... I've been missing out for too long. I'm just blocks away and I just found this little gem. Food is good & tasty. I ordered the 2 eggs & Corned Beef Hash platter & pancakes & sausages. Also, complimentary coffee/tea for dine in breakfast platters. The server is very efficient as she takes care of dine in guests and carry-out orders all by herself. I will definitely return to try other dishes. Likewise, I highly recommend that you support this small business if you're in the area.“

“toda la comida muy rica sus Hamburgers lo Mexicano sus bebidas todo rico“

“The Atlantis Diner located in Babylon is a commendable option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The Diner maintains a clean and reasonably spacious environment. The staff members are amiable, and the food quality is satisfactory. We enjoyed breakfast for dinner, and it was delightful.“

“Amazing diner with excellent burgers and a menu full of tasty treats. Such a cozy space to be in. Just right. We had a burger and Mac and Cheese, which were both excellent. The decaf coffee was very good too. Service was good and the atmosphere is just lovely. Such a nice old school diner. The choice of tasty sounding meals on the menu is amazing -- it was hard to choose!“

“Everything you'd expect from a diner. Staff knows the clientele. Food comes out fast. And if there is a problem, someone has eyes on it and comes to help right away.

Got pancakes and waffles my boys loved.

Got a wrap I enjoyed.

My partner got a salad. The protein (chicken kebabs) was delicious though wished there was a different greens option to pair with it. Spinach or romaine or even mixed seasonal greens.

Anyway worth a visit if you are craving a solid diner experience.

Kid-friendliness: My kids were a bit wild but the staff was helpful and understanding.

Tall booths keep grumpy side eyes from other customers away.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. And booths with an open side. Seems pretty wheelchair friendly.“

“If you are looking for the perfect Brooklyn brunch, look no further. The food at 7th Ave Diner is consistently incredible, but what really makes this place special is the service—specifically Luisa. She is a absolute rockstar! She’s attentive, warm, and makes sure you’re taken care of from the moment you sit down.
The Highlights:
• The Omelet: Perfectly fluffy, generous with the fillings, and not greasy at all. It’s exactly what a diner omelet should be.
• Eggs Benedict: The poached eggs were spot on, and the hollandaise was rich and velvety.
• The Pancakes: Do not skip these. They are massive, airy and golden-brown crisp on the edges.
Between the delicious comfort food and Luisa’s amazing hospitality, this has easily become my go-to spot. I’ll be back every week.“

“I like ginger magrita....“

“I recently found Dennis Place, and it's a dynamic place to have breakfast and lunch! I enjoyed having breakfast there as well as lunch and very affordable

I will say, to get there as early as you can because they can get very busy!“

“Just left here for a quick and easy Sunday brunch. Don’t listen to the weird reviews; this is a very solid spot. Not a Bedford Ave, line-out-the-door-for-a-waffle-photo place. Just a great neighborhood diner that is truly and honestly retro in everything from the wood paneling to the $11.50 breakfast. It’s lovely.“

“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..“

“VERY FRIENDLY GREAT SERVICE GOOD PEOPLE“

“I have been coming to George's for many years now whether it is for dine-in or take-out. I have always gotten fantastic service and great food. The staff is warm, welcoming and treat every customer with the utmost respect. The restaurant itself is very clean, even before our current COVID situation. They take this pandemic very seriously and they make sure that they follow all the protocols suggested by the CDC and our State Government. They have been in business for over 60 years and I hope that this institution will be around for another 60+ years. #supportlocal“

“Great food (and plenty of it), good service and response time, comfortable atmosphere, friendly wait staff!“

“we had a great dinner in my daughter's neighborhood.“

“It’s just mind blowing that people here try to downgrade this restaurant meanwhile they had just recently opened. Is it possible maybe bc the old owners are quite bitter they had to close down due to them being caught for not selling kosher? Maybe. Ever since this restaurant opened they had the DOH be called various times, even have people giving them horrible reviews lol. I have known these new owners for years being said they have a deli store and it’s good! The food here is amazing, customer service is at 100! Workers are so pleasant and welcoming plus the place is CLEAN !
If anyone is hesitant in going here, don’t. This place is pretty good !“

“Absolutely delicious food — everything from the roasted chicken to the pasta and burgers is made perfectly every time. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Great portions, great prices, and a great team running the place. Highly recommend!“

“The food was sooo good! I got a greek spinach pie platter. The fries were so delicious, the salad was well dressed and flavorful, and the pie was flaky just how I like it! The service was great too, our waitress was very friendly and accommodating, and our food arrived fairly quickly. The atmosphere was also great, very cozy. They have a HUGE menu for a very reasonable price, I would HIGHLY recommend it!“

“Nice pancakes! Good coffee! Great service!“

“I was going on a late night walk at the boardwalk and got a little bit hungry. Saw this place was open so decided to pay it a visit, ordered a spanakopita and some coffee. The portion was HUGE very value for money and very tasty. Very cozy place to just sit down and have some food also a very big plus it's open 24hrs.“

“The food is decent and this is a standard diner for the area. Nothing outstanding but nothing bad. What I like about this place is that it’s open 24 hours. When I was taking a class nearby, I’d sometimes get out late after studying so this spot was convenient.“

“Know how him from Staten Island between him and his son I’m proud to see they took over the Royal.“

“We are such fans of The Brooklyn Diner/Times Square! If we're seeing a Broadway show, or entertaining out of town guests, there's just no better place to go — there's something for everyone. In our case, it's The Perfect Plate, which is perfect every time! Our favorite waiter, Ash, takes such good care of us and it's a pleasure to be with friends & family in this neighborhood gem!“
