“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.“

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

“Beautiful place, lovely vibe and people.
There was a small mishap where our order took really long to come but they gave us a complimentary beer and we're very polite about the situation.

Overall we waited over an hour.“

“The food? AMAZING. The service? EXCEPTIONAL. The atmosphere? NOSTALGIC. The spiced apple cider?!??!?? TO DIE FOR. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this warranted it. This place is a must go. Don’t sleep on it, folks. And this ain’t A.I., this is a real Black man giving his full-chested opinion. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Miriam was excellent. Super attentive and hospitable.“

“Good food not excellent service“

“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!“

“I come from Pennsylvania to visit and this is my favorite place to eat all the time super good and very good coffee.“

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

“It’s such a yummy spot on Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village!

The service is always good. The staff are always friendly. I have never had a bad meal here - after many many times at the Metropolitan Diner.

The only negatives are the difficulty parking (welcome to Middle Village) and the sometimes long wait (but, that’s what you get when the food is superior)!“

“Exceptional food and service with a classic diner atmosphere. Outstanding breakfast! 🥞“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Hospitable staff. Great Cheeseburger Deluxe. Fries weren't greasy. Lettuce and tomato was fresh. Coffee was good. Bathroom was clean.“

“Just a quick stop on my new daily walk, stumble upon this place for some hot chocolate. Loved the family, local neighborhood vibe. I'll come back to eat! 🤣 Hot Chocolate with milk was nice - smooth milk chocolate to finish out my walk.“

“What a gem of a diner. Never disappoints! The food is always good, prompt friendly service and very clean. The BEST stuffed mushrooms I ever had, and I love their choices for breakfast. Prices are very very good.“

“muy buena la comida a muy buen presio.“

“Blueberry pancakes were delicious, fluffy but edges were still crispy! My berry smoothie(modified the oj for almond milk) wasn't as good as the first time I had it, wasn't cold enough or as sweet but ok. I enjoyed my Chipotle omelet. Great service, staff are friendly and welcoming which as started to make it my go to breakfast/brunch spot.“

“Carlos was the best server ever!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food...excellent people“

“This place used to be the Jackson hole. As Neptune diner it does feel a little different but it’s a great diner with good food and a nice part of town. I do recommend this place. I tried a few things on the menu and I haven’t been disappointed yet.“

“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.“

“Love coming here because its close to where I live. We are regulars here and are always treated nicely. Anytime there is a problem with our food they fix it right away. We always go towards the end of the night so there is never a wait for us.“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Weekends bring such crowds that reservations become necessary. Their employees checked on us regularly. They used special components and served quickly. They focus on consistent quality and friendly interactions. The complete meal was excellent.“

“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 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“

“It's a small place, I personally like small restaurants, my plate was simple but very good. Had the turkey melt with bacon and avocado on multi grain bread with fries very good. The place was clean and a very nice server. My mother had a torta of steak, and it was delicious.“

“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“

“Fast Service and seating even when the parking lot is full..(the sit and wait method will grab you a space fastest) the staff is always friendly. The Crab Cake Benedict is one of the best we've ever had and it's a hard dish to get right to the point it's the only place we have it now...the Crab is real Crab and a plentiful portion, the Apple French Toast is another favorite. We've eaten here many times and was always pleased with the portions and quality..They have good deserts too and also serve liquor (drinks). The Restaurant is Newer / Modern and the bathrooms are always clean. Definitely a place you'd enjoy eating at!“

“Listen, honestly, this place is a decent spot. They serve large portions of budget-friendly, quality food with respectable and welcoming service. It might be a bit cramped inside, but the turnaround time is fast. From the time we ordered to when our food arrived, it couldn’t have been more than ten minutes. That’s awesome to me. If you’re in the area, stop in and grab a bite. It could use a little love aesthetically, but the only downside is the parking. It could be problematic, but I still think it’s worth the gamble.“

“😋😋😋 buena atención servicio excelente“

“Wonderful place to eat!!!“

“I am fairly new to the neighborhood, my husband and I decided to try out our new local diner (this was in July). We really enjoy this restaurant and so does our little one, this has become our go to diner. My daughter gets so excited every time we go, she starts kicking her feet and says hi and bye to the workers along with the other patrons. I normally order the same meal for myself and my daughter and it comes out the same every time! Delish! They are very accommodating every time I bring her, she’s 1 years old and already has her very first favorite restaurant. Thank you to the staff for always being kind and accommodating!“
