50 Best Diners in Brooklyn

“Mike's Coffee Shop has a quintessential diner feel and you better get there early if you want to snag a booth. They serve up all the classics and none of that $14 pancakes nonsense. I focused in on the Greek Specialties section and ordered a Gyro on Pita for $7.25. It has a good amount of meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki on soft pita. I could've used a squeeze of lemon on the side, but otherwise a flawless diner experience.“

“execelent mexican Food and drink“

“Got the blueberry waffle and frappe. The waffle was freaking amazing and the coffee was pretty good and strong too! I definitely recommend

My friends say the wait is hours long on weekends. I went Friday around noon and it was only about 15 minutes!“

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

“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. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

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

“Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

If you’re a serious fella like myself you don’t play around with challah French toast. The challah French toast is dead serious here. Parent teacher conference serious. Spending time with the in laws serious. Grand Theft Auto serious. A top hat serious. A top hat and cane serious.

I could go on. The chicken parm was ok too“

“The menu looks great the write up about the food is promising. The problem I see is with your training of your staff. That falls on the management. The management is setting up their employees to fail. Train your staff, hold yourself accountable, you as a manager is to train your staff, to your standards and expectations. If you have staff members who will not or cannot meet your expectations of doing the job, if they cannot or will not follow instructions, you need to terminate them that includes family members. It sounds harsh, I know jobs are hard to get in the Philippines. That is more of a reason to train your employees to do the job to their best.“

“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.“

“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!“

“To me this place is what diners are meant to be: cheap, efficient, cash only, and offers many opportunities to make something deluxe. The kind of place where they’d remember my name if I wasn’t afraid of talking to strangers. I ordered a BLT Deluxe for $9 which comes with sides of cole slaw, fries, and a pickle. Sign me up.“

“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 !“

“We had breakfast there. The food is really good. The staffs is very friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is AMAZING! You will have to wait if you go on the weekends, but it is worth it. The oatmeal griddle cakes are so unique and delicious. The eggs are perfection and you can’t miss out on the hash brown!
The staff is always wonderful and once you get seated, the environment is relaxing and friendly.“

“You want fresh delicious food? Go to My Three Sons on 6518 -11th avenue. The burgers and breakfast platters are flavorful . The place is clean and modern. The waitress Raquel makes sure everything goes smoothly. Definitely my new spot to go to. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice size portions at unbelievable prices ❤️“

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant. They always have the best food and very generous portions. There is nowhere else like Perry’s. The owners and the staff are just the nicest most friendly people. Feels more like you’re dining with family than in a restaurant. Highly recommend eating there.“

“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!“

“VERY FRIENDLY GREAT SERVICE GOOD PEOPLE“

“foods good and we have little trouble parking. nice staff“

“This review about more than a year ordering from Wonder and I want to share specially this time how the food is tasty and delicious and the staff is very helpful and great with the best pick up smile from them I really like to order from them specially this location“

“You must come here for breakfast or brunch, the waitresses are all attentive! I always have the usual lumberjack meal. I've been coming here since I was a kid with my parents, its been the iconic childhood diner ever since I remember but all and all the pastries are good too! I came here like 2 week ago with a friend of mine and we ordered the wraps during lunch to dinner, the food was great as always but the service was lacking (my friend ordered a cappuccino but she never got it) but it wasn't terrible at least we weren't charged for it.“

“Looking for breakfast place definitely try ..take away and cafe.. purchased a Greek omelette amazing taste the olives in my omelett were tasty

..The home fries were excellent. We also ordered a banana muffin.. and a scramble egg with ham on a tasty sesame bagel“

“My favorites place to grab breakfast, lunch and/or dinner . So many options to choose from and always happy with what I order. Best smoothies ! Always take a family member or friend who’s in the neighborhood and looking for a place to go eat .“

“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“

“Nice pancakes! Good coffee! Great service!“

“Great place! Best breakfast and lunch spot in Brooklyn.Pete the owner and his staff treat you like family.Regular blue collar working people to big time Mayor frequently eat here.Love my bacon ,egg sandwich ? and old school egg cream soda ?“

“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!“

“This long standing diner has served Park Slope's Methodist Hospital and residents for years. The food is consistently good, and the service is fast & friendly! My Dad and I had brunch which included tea, coffee, ginormous French Toast and a beautiful Belgin Waffle. If it ain't broke, don't fix it😉“

“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 !“

“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!“

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

“What a hidden gem on the waterfront. I’ve lived here for years and never came in until recently and now we are regulars !! The food is TOP
NOTCH. Nothing fresher in the neighborhood here for Mexican. Absolutely love the sweet staff!!“

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

“Billionaire Bacon 🥓 is absolutely our favorite item on the menu! #DaisysDiner is the best diner in #NewYorkCity hands down!“

“Great place to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Came for dinner and it was very pleasant. The waiter David was very friendly and checked in on how we were doing 👍. Overall the food, service and hospitality were great!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly environment with movies for kids to watch while eating.“

“This was the perfect welcome for our first night in NYC! From the host welcome throughout the meal, the staff was friendly and welcoming, the food delicious and affordable, and the overall experience a can't miss if you're near Times Square.“

“One of the best restaurants I have ever visited.This restaurant offers a beautiful atmosphere with various options,,I totally loved“

“Buen lugar el mas popular del barrio, de los mejores omelets, y la atención muy amable“

“My favorite diner hands down. I moved to Staten Island a few years ago, but still cross the bridge when I want the best French toast. I visit at least once a week. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. I’m mostly there on Saturdays, and Catherine is always my server. Love her! I’ll be going back to work in that neighborhood soon (DOE), so I’ll definitely treat myself to lunch there as well😋.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just as expected from website. Classic NY diner food in a Broadway setting. Perfect before a matinee. Excellent Matso or Noodle Chicken Soup with lots of white chicken. Perfect Pastrami and excellent Cole Slaw. Experienced service. Make a reservation before going and enjoy.“

“Great service and fantastic food“

“To all my Willy-B's(Williamsburg Neighbors) and anyone passing through...This place right here is the only original undisputed spot close by that I can call a real Diner and it's right here in the borderline of Williamsburg and Greenpoint. We walked from Metropolitan Ave and Meeker looking for this place. When we stepped inside, my son and I were very impressed. It has a very friendly atmosphere. The menu & it's large portions of freshly made food along with the wonderful service by Nazi(our server) was absolutely amazing. Our gratitude to the Chef as well. So exciting with it all that we forgot to take pictures :-D It may be a little pricey, but it's worth every single bite :-p We will definitely be back ... Next time for breakfast :-) This place deserves a 5 plus review rating“
