50 Best Diners near Oakland Gardens

“My fave burger 🍔 from here is the backyard burger but last 3 times I’ve ordered it’s not the same. Normally does not come with lettuce and tomato and now it does. The chipotle sauce is now weak and the bun has change. Please bring back the original version it was perfect.“

“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.“

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“The Best Diner Family Run! People are so lovely! Food is Great! Very Clean!“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“neptune diner in bayside feels like it’s been there forever and probably will be long after we’re gone. the kind of spot that doesn’t care about trends or hashtags. just coffee, chrome, and the steady hum of people trying to keep it together.

you walk in at midnight or seven a.m. and it’s the same. cops, night-shift workers, teenagers chasing fries with milkshakes, old couples splitting toast. the waitresses move like they’ve seen it all and have the patience of saints.

the food’s what you expect from a diner — pancakes, burgers, omelets the size of small planets. it’s not about the menu. it’s about the ritual. you order, you talk, you stare out the window while the world keeps turning.

neptune’s the kind of place that holds you when life’s too loud. something about the buzz of conversation and the smell of coffee makes you feel less alone. it’s not perfect. it’s real. that’s worth five stars.“

“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.“

“My family and I had the pleasure of dining here on a Saturday afternoon, although we were a large group, the staff gave excellent service. Our main server Angie was very attentive and gave exemplary customer service. The entire experience was great, the food was delicious and the staff is exceptional, I will definitely visit again.“

“Unassuming but great little diner. The gentleman who we ordered from was very friendly, and the portions were good! We got the breakfast special #2 and an order of french toast. This isn't fine dining or anything but I enjoyed the atmosphere. Made us feel like locals!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Staff is always very pleasant and the food is delicious“

“Good food. Great service“

“We've been passing this place for over 20 years on our trip to New York and never had a chance to stop by... WE MISSED A LOT! We specifically decided on dining at the Omega Diner tonight and the good thing we did! We met there at 7 pm for a family dinner with our son who moved to New York. Kind of a half way between or PA home and his place in NY. The place wasn't very busy. We were sitted right away. The waiter was with us in less than a minute, and in another few minutes we were served our water, seltzer and hot tea. The waiter took our order, advising on what is good and what he would recommend. Great guy! Very friendly, very patient, very customer oriented. My wife got her cream of turkey soup in another few minutes. At that point I added the matzoh ball soup for myself. It was served right away. It looked so good that my son took it from me! I ordered another portion of it and asked to get me an additional bowl to split it. Well, in a few minutes it was served with extra bowl full of additiina steaming broth. This soup tasted very-very good. And the size of that matzoh ball!!! It was of the size of a baseball ⚾️ !!! Yes, and my wife's cream of turkey soup - delicious!!! We did not even want to eat anything else after that but... we already ordered our main meals... Well, everything was served fast and tasted great. My Omega club sandwich (recommended by the waiter) - delicious, Omega appetizers - perfect, deluxe cheeseburger - very nice, baked mix seafood for my wife - tasty and nicely presented, looking very appealing. Obviously, at least half of all this went home with us... We needed room for the sweets. Cappuccino, chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cheesecake - all was great, presentable and delicious! And all this for under $90 (plus tip of course) for the party of four! In today's world this is a pretty good deal! Especially, with such a great service, clean and nicely designed and maintained place and nice portions sizes! We will definitely come back to this place again. They have so many interesting and appealing items on their menu that we want to try...“

“I have there several times. The people and service are absolutely awesome. The interior had been beautifully redone while they were closed. You have to come and enjoy it yourself.“

“This place was so clean and the service was fast !!!! We got greeted at the door , sat us down immediately and food came out 5 mins after we ordered! As a Floridian I was not used to that !! Food was yummy , large portions and at a great price !! Good service too !!“

“Great bagel platter for two!“

“😋😋😋 buena atención servicio excelente“

“Great and big meals, very friendly staff and cool atmosphere ❤️“

“Delicious food, and the new owners are super friendly. I come here regularly.
So far I’ve tried the Croissant french toast, Blackened chicken panini, Patty melt, Char-grilled veggie salad.
I tried my cousins onion ring fries and they were so yummy! (I usually don’t like onion rings) they were crispy and with lots of flavor

They updates their coffee, the new coffee is delicious, I would highly recommend it ☕️“

“I definitely recommend this diner. The service is amazing, food is great and I love the cozy atmosphere. Owners are very sweet people and welcoming. If you’re looking for a quick bite that’s delicious and a reasonable price then you should stop here!“

“Stopped here after taking someone to the airport and did a Google search of breakfast places nearby… Server was so nice. Menu and atmosphere very simple. Seems like a tight knit group of friendly employees I got the French toast and turkey bacon.“

“Been going here for years. Everything is good and reasonably priced. The staff are awesome and the decor is like old school hometown and spotlessly clean. Love it“

“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!“

“Always a pleasure good food good service“

“Back in my home state and staying with my sister in the Bronx, there was no way I was going home without coming here for some hometown New York style diner good grub. I typically grab Dunkin Donuts on a daily but it’s just something about that diner style coffee in that old school but traditional white mug. It was so good. I opted for a a western omelette with turkey and Lo AND BEHOLD, they put real cut up/chunked up pieces of turkey in my omelette too.“

“¿Seve delisioso para un para comer en la hora de comida del trabajo y cena soy el chiastla de mexico puebla santa ana coatepec?............“

“It is a tradition old time confectionary shop you just don’t see anymore. You don’t even need a menu everything is deckhouse. Their breakfasts foods are my ultimate faves but it’s all good. Their ice creams and homemade chocolate is like no other. The self distancing and mask 😷 rules are practiced to the maximum. Very safe place to eat inside. Very self distanced.“

“I ordered the 2 over easy eggs with turkey bacon breakfast and the portions were generous! It includes buttered toast and home fries. Everything tasted fresh! The eggs were cooked just how I like them, and the turkey bacon was nice and crispy! The staff were friendly and moved quickly. It is a small diner and you instantly feel like family when you dine there. Please make sure to visit them. You won’t regret it.“
