“Visited on a weekday to avoid the line but a line was starting to form just as we were about done
with brunch! I can totally understand why after we had our meal. The food was yummy and service also great. We got the works and the banana bread to share! I already want to come back!!“

“Excellent service! And delicious food 😋. If you're coming off the Q70 bus from Lagaurdia Airport, and would like a great meal.

The Florence Diner, is a short walk from the train station. They have happy hour starting at 3pm 🎊“

“Gramercy was one of my best experience during my time in NY. The atmosphere was very warm and trendy but casual at the same time. My server was so thoughtful but not hovering over our shoulders. The food was well proportioned and fairly priced. I hope that it will be there by the time I come back for more on the menu.“

“Vegan and GF options with tons of flavor. I’m not even vegan but highly encourage people to give their options a try. They help me easily choose something good for my health and the animals while still getting full and satisfied. Love having them here“

“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!“

“Good food not excellent service“

“Everything excellent food and staff are amazing friendly I love the place“

“So far pretty good food. I'm mean diners are waning as it is but this one is holding strong. A plus they have a little lot right next to it for parking for pickup if no one blocks them.

Update: 9/3/26
My favorite diner within a 5 mile radius for sure! They are overall good but of course they have their days when it doesn't hit the craving but overall I'm satisfied with this diner.“

“Carlos was the best server ever!!“

“First place we went after checking into hotel, discovered this tem 2 yrs ago when we were attending US open.Camw back to NYC to attend again, their even better than before.Thank you to the nice waiter who let us hang out and dry off after walking over 1/2mile in tropical storm and didnt rush us.Love this place👍👍👍❤❤“

“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!“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

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

“Excellent food...excellent people“

“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.“

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

“Truly a gem in Astoria! We love coming here to get the breakfast items :) everything is really good, but really recommend huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. The Al pastor is truly the best one I've had, and the birria tacos are really good too 🙂“

“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!“

“I love their breakfasts! So delicious….“

“muy buena la comida a muy buen presio.“

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

“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.“

“Love coming here occasionally for a relaxing time with my husband. The waitress is kind and friendly. The food is high-quality and delicious, with large portions. Refills for things like soda and coffee are free. The atmosphere is always relaxing and laid-back.“

“Good coffee ☕️ lots of options“

“Great food. Nice staff. Great family environment.“

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

“buena comida buen servicio, pero ultimate estan fallando mucho con los leliveris principal fines de semana se demoran mucho , pedi y me llego Asta Las 2 Horas“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I came here around 9 PM and was pleasantly surprised by how it wasn’t crowded. The parking lot isn’t very large, but if it’s not too busy you’ll most likely be able to find a spot.

The staff was very nice, and the entire place was clean and well-maintained. The atmosphere gives off modern American diner vibes, which makes it feel casual and comfortable.

The food was absolutely delicious! Everything came out perfectly prepared and was picture-worthy. The prices may be a dollar or two more than some other places, but I definitely think it’s worth it for the quality of the food and overall experience.

I would definitely recommend coming here. I will definitely be back!“

“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 ?“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Pelham Diner, and a big part of that was thanks to Luis. We were celebrating a special occasion, and he went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. His kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made our celebration even more memorable.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the excellent service made the entire experience outstanding.

Thank you, Luis, for helping make our celebration so special. We will definitely be returning and look forward to seeing you again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We visited on a Sunday morning, and although the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated promptly and our orders were taken without delay. I ordered the French toast with eggs, and the meal was excellent. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food exceeded expectations. I will definitely be returning, and this restaurant will become a regular spot for me.“

“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.“

“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 finally found what I've been missing in New York... a good Ole American diner that sells you a good Ole American breakfast. They guys at the counter were super friendly and courteous. They speak English and Spanish so nothing gets lost in translation. Food was really good exactly what I was looking for“

“The food was delicious! I had the same dollar pancakes and beef sausage and I ate it up. Idk what they put in those pancakes but I couldn't stop eating it. My children had waffles with strawberries and bacon on the side, and a bacon egg and cheese bagel. They both cleared their plates. My waitress disappeared a few times but it seemed like she was the only one trending to all of the tables. We will def be returning though.“

“Good place to start off your day. Menu is simple and priced fairly. I had the basic eggs, sausage and potatoes. I usually walk by these small establishments without trying them and usually miss out. The place is cash based which isn’t a problem unless you come unprepared. My meal was good. I don’t want to make this review sound like this is a must eat place but it should be on all early bird places to get a good morning starter. The staff is pleasant so don’t hesitate to ask questions.“

“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“

“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“

“It’s pretty quiet I actually like that. The food was good, there was some shell in my egg didn’t really like that but hey it happens.
The server didn’t check on me to see if I was actually happy with my food 🤷🏽‍♀️ I guess he felt if I didn’t like it I would have said something. Not sure. But other than that I would come back.
I had French toast with eggs and sausage and grits.“

“I visited twice and both times were for breakfast only. everything was delicious! The food came so quick and the service was incredible. Staff is very kind and friendly. 10/10! we tried french toast, omelette, BLT and bacon egg and cheese all were amazing. Highly recommend for breakfast.“
