50 Best Diners near Flushing

“Nice, old-school diner with a reasonable price/size ratio and a decent variety on the menu. Yes, they have tangible menus -- none of that QR code crap (where you're not sure if it's sending your phone to a sketchy website). This place is family-owned and operated. The manager is very sharp, efficient and friendly. He's on top of the customers' needs without being overbearing. They know their customers and sometimes their orders too. I'll definitely be returning!“

“I absolutely love this tiny restaurant, by far my favorite in queens. I’ve been going here since I was a little girl and have not regretted it once. The food is amazing and the portions they give is astounding for the low price. Highly recommend !!“

“1st time here and we chose the Challah French toast. Two over easy eggs, and bacon. The plate came with 5 strips of crispy tasty bacon!!! Perfect!! It was so good and very plentiful! I was so full. The Challah toast was very filling! YUMMY!! They also have a large menu to order from with ALL types of options. Not including the pastry menu!“

“Mikes has been a staple in the community for almost 40 years i remember bringing my kid to have breakfast on Saturday mornings before her activities it was cheap and cheerful Pratt students and faculty would be there as well. Now its practically same staff bathroom remodeled and costs have increased but so as everuthing else same friendly and fulfilling breakfast no bells and whistles but simple good food“

If you’re looking for a taste of the good-old days of NYC, this is the spot!“

“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“

“Baby Blues Luncheonette definitely lives up to the hype. When we arrived, it was already pretty crowded, and for good reason. They don’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait especially on a Sunday around 11:30 a.m. like we did. We ended up waiting about two hours, but they do send you a notification when your table’s ready, and they also show you how many parties are ahead of you, which makes the wait feel a bit more manageable.

The place itself is small, and tables are pretty close together, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The menu is straightforward and easy to navigate, and the prices are very reasonable. My partner got the “Plato’s Plate,” and I went for the “Chicken Club.” Both were fantastic. My partner gave her dish a 9/10, and I’d give mine the same rating. The price-to-quality ratio was excellent, and we had no complaints. The only small note from my partner was that the bacon on her plate was a bit greasy, but it wasn’t a big deal.

We also shared a side of “Greek Potatoes and Tzatziki.” That dish was another 9/10. The only downside was that there wasn’t quite enough tzatziki for all the potatoes, so I’d recommend asking for extra on the side if you order it. No real issue though, just a small suggestion. We had an “Iced Coffee” and a “Regular Coffee” with our meal, and both were spot on.

One more thing: we were treated to a complimentary dish of fresh strawberries and blueberries with whipped cream (as you can see in the photo I included). We’re not sure what it was called, but it was light, refreshing, and delicious. Easily a 10/10, and I’d highly recommend it if you get the chance.

The service was also excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and even the hostess deserves a shoutout. We arrived a bit late for our seating time, but she was understanding and still got us a table despite it being so busy. Really appreciated that.

The bill was pretty reasonable for everything we got, and I left a $15 tip because of the great service and the complimentary fruit bowl.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience, great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. The wait time can be long (ours was 2 hours), but it’s totally worth it when you consider the quality of the food and the prices. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend you give it a try too!

Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps!“

“My partner and I had some extra time before heading to the airport and we stop by here for breakfast. What a lovely restaurant! We had the Chilaquiles Verdes with some green hot sauce and WOWWWW! That was good! I also had some cantaloupe juice. 10/10.“

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

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

“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.“

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“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.“

“Good food not excellent service“

“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!“

“Food was good and environment was friendly“

“Outstanding across the board, my server was Chris and she knows about the specials of the day. Lobster was on the menu,and I had to have it 😆 🤣. It was
Cooked to perfection...it also came with a choice of soup or salad. And two sides,I
Ordered the mashed potatoes and broccoli cooked in garlic and oil.
The mood at the restaurant was just right.
I'm beyond joyful, regarding my experience at the tibbett diner. Everyone that works there works as a team.
Tibbett is family,full of ❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

“A perfect no-frills eatery for a quick bite. The menu is not huge, but it has all the diner staples and a wide range of non-pork breakfast meat options. Food is prepared fresh on the spot and service was very efficient. Highly recommend the hash browns—incredibly crispy, well-seasoned, and comforting. Wonderfully cozy spot, I know I’ll be coming back real soon!“

“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.“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

“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!!“

“Most diners can best be described as basic. They cover the bare minimum of quality and service, and your typical customer will accept it. There are no surprises, good or bad, so the experience will be similar to any other diner.
Eat Here Now is not your basic diner. Granted, their menu isn't the size of a paperback book, but what they offer covers whatever you're looking for. The service is where EHN shines. On top of efficiency, the staff is friendly without being too solicitous.
If you're in the neighborhood and don't want to visit a more formal and expensive restaurant, consider Eat Here Now“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Good coffee ☕️ lots of options“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place. Nice environment, staff are nice, fast and remember all the little requests. Their burgers are really good, I usually order a Bacon cheeseburger with mozzarella and cheddar and their cream of turkey. Their breakfast rocks too. I recommend.“

“If only they were open late.

It’s solid diner fare. Nothing is amazing but nothing is bad either. The pastrami is above average for a diner. Burgers are solid as is most breakfast. It’s $$$ for what it is.

Weekend breakfast will be packed, especially before noon.

Service is fast, indifferent and efficient.“

“Ilona Lynch Stop 20 Diner is the absolute Best diner! They have the best, fattest anf tastiest burgers, which we had last night. I have been getting great meals from there for years, but last night was the first time I have ordered a burger from there, along with 2 good friends, and the burgers blew us away, along with the fries, being cooked to perfection. We have never had such thick burgers before at any diner ever, and they were so tasty and cooked to perfection. The onion rings were also excellent. A special thank you to the night manager, Manny for your service which went above and beyond! My 2 dear friends who were with me last night when you brought us our burgers also love the Food at Stop 20, and we send much appreciation and respect for your treatment of us, and the high quality of our meals! Ilona Lynch“

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

“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.“

“I love all their food here. Ive been eating here for 14 years and not once had i had a complaint. I love my home fries burnt cause it makes it crispy. Checking below on the comment and saw someone wrote something bad about the cook. You must not know nothing about food. I on the other hand gurantee Oasis food is real good. I love the french toast, the Cheeseburger with Crispy onion rings and they steak sandwich wich sautéed onions is bomb. They also serve great mangu for all my latinos that like it. They also have great chicken noodle soup that cant be bought anywhere else. If you are ever around tiffany and east bay make sure to stop at Oasis Coffee Shop. Just down the block is a nice park where you can take your food and watch the manhattan skyline from across the water. Oasis also delivers if you need food at the park. Free delivery! Also try their home made lemonade!!! Idk what else to shout out cause all they food is good. They also make chicken tacos and amazing qusadillas. Authentic mexican cusine and the right touch to make tatse ? thank you Oasis for catering to all of us at the point.“

“Oh MY Goodness what an amazing place THE BEST!!! Pennie Vodka I’ve ever had wow!!!“

“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.“

“I love ❤ my Pete's Diner,Great tasting breakfast,I'm always ordering my home fries n bacon,Today I ate inside the restaurant with my best friend,the service was good,and of course the best waitress Veronica.it is nice and clean n great atmosphere.“
