50 Best Diners near Kew Gardens

“Went here for brunch and I got the egg plate with perfectly cooked, poached eggs. I also ordered ham and was disappointed that it was sliced lunch meat however it was good. Then they offer breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions or fries so I got fries. My friend got the veggie omelet and it looked amazing. Had zucchini and squash, mushrooms, onions and peppers and it was done just right. The price was fair for New York. Coffee was good.“

“A perfect establishment—solid breakfast food, kind servers, and a vibe that reminds me of going to breakfast with my dad as a kid. Other diners in the city are at least twice as expensive and don’t provide half the warmth or charm of this place. Thank you thank you Mike’s!!!“

“Perfect experience of a typical diner!Super generous portions, tasty dishes and a warm welcome!I tried the garnished salmon fillet: I've never had such a large quantity on my plates + a super good split pea soup!If I didn't live 6000km away, I would make this place my canteen!“

“Excellent service and great atmosphere! Everyone is so attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and affordable. Their happy hour is really good. The drinks are well made and they are not cheap with the liquor.Well done guys, we will be back soon!!“

“Awesome brunch. Wait is really long on the weekend however and they only do walk-ins. Food came out slow and service left something to be desired but food mostly made up for it. I'd definitely try and come here more often if I lived closer and it wasn't as busy!“

“My old haunt tried and true! Food is decent and service is exceptional. Sometimes I ask for specific deviations from the menu and they are always accommodating which I appreciate! Last visit chef lost a couple of points for serving sending out a pasta dish that had obviously not been strained before plating so my a La vodka sauce was pretty watery. I had to add Parmesan and sour cream to thicken it. PS the desserts are delicious!“

“This was a happy accident for me. I booked this not realizing that it was a Vegan restaurant. Never having eaten vegan food before I was a bit apprehensive on whether I would enjoy....well I'm happy to say I not only enjoyed but LOVED the experience. How the heck you make a vegan bacon egg and cheese is beyond me but whatever magic they use is working. Delicious! Very cool vibe and decor and very friendly staff as a bonus.“

“This place has always had great food I have been eating here 20 plus years the weekend get super busy so be prepared to wait for a table they have the best lemonade around but if you're not in to sweet stuff like my wife don't get it or ask for less “

“We live nearby Denny’s at Jackson Heights location and we have the tradition of having breakfast there every Sunday. Staff always receptive and friendly. I would like to appreciate Denise C and Diana who are very detailed oriented about their services. We love coming over and we feel very comfortable and welcomed when we are there!Kid-friendliness: They have a decent selection for kids“

“we were very happy with our breakfast sandwiches! I had a few questions regarding coffee grinds. the man was knowledgeable and happy to share information! overall 10/10 :) Nice Latin American decor - also, very clean, organized and spacious cafe!“

“I didn't get to take any photos but this was a great find for a late night meal. Have cash or Venmo app ready. We ordered tacos and burritos. Everything came out fresh and fast. Their chili sauce is fire and have just the right amount of heat. They ran out of horchata for me but I'll come back and try again!“

“This is a traditional NY style Greek diner, huge menu, coffee all day, porcelain booths, the works. Lots of seating including sides with fishbowl views of Westchester and Buhre Avenues ... If that is your thing. Such a place is a comfort for many, as it is for me.“

“Stopped in for a quick breakfast (and also to get out of the rain). Had a booth to myself just before the early lunch crowd started arriving. Went with a 3-egg turkey bacon omelette. Chose home fries and rye toast to accompany it. Also, ordered an orange juice as I had had my morning coffee already. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Not a bad diner if you are in the area...“

“Coming off a 13 hour flight from Hawai'i, this place was PERFECT and felt almost like home. Homemade food, welcoming service and reasonable prices! Actually very low prices. I noticed everyone knew the patrons names, greeting them by first name as they walked in. This place is a golden gem. Everyone is welcome here! Mahalo !“

“I guarantee you aren't going to find a more diverse and amazing menu. So many choices and everything was so good. I got the Ruben served open face with your choice of pastrami or corned beef. I got the corned beef and the wife got pastrami. So good! The sweet potato fries, OMG. I don't know how they make them so good but I've never had better. Just trust me on this one, stop once and you'll go back.Parking: Easy to park when we went and it was free.“

“It’s an oasis in Canarsie Brooklyn. Much sweet or unsweetened juices and salads. Thank you Mellissa original, Mellisa’s sister number one and number two. You are all efficient business women and fine young ladies. This is the best American diner in the middle of hard working New Yorkers.“

“Always satisfied at this diner. Irish breakfast is a large serving, good for 2 people really- has black and white pudding, beans, ham with cooked tomatoes. Breakfast specials come with a small glass of juice, good prices. Mykonos omelette had chunks of feta with tomatoes. 2 eggs with meat is perfect serving size. The place is clean, clean restrooms. Food came out quickly. Service, during our most recent visit, is friendler than the last one. Meter parking in the area charges $0.25 for 1/2 hr.“

“What a great experience!! Fun, energetic and great food!! George, the Owner, was polite, and he knew his clientele by name, service was great, the lady behind the counter was a machine!! Great Food, fresh Hollandaise sauce, nice portions and great atmosphere!! Will be back“

“Homey diner spot in the neighborhood and it’s a real gem. Kinda hard to notice from the store front but inside is a bustling and welcoming family-owned diner. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick to serve. Their coffee is delicious and I have yet to find a dish that I wasn’t satisfied with. Tried the corned hash with eggs and it was yum :) The chicken salad triple decker sandwich was also delicious. The food is always made fresh and super filling! Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! Thanks for the great service!“

“Argentine-run restaurant almost hidden on 37th Av. in Long Island City. We got there with google maps. Very warm and friendly welcome in a typical American spacious environment. The proposal is very rich as well as tasty and plentiful for a light or more substantial breakfast suitable for a day on tour in New York. Lower than average prices. Advised.“

“Small homey diner with good food and good coffee. They have a wide variety of menu items including health conscious options and a natural smoothie bar. The customer service was excellent. The staff was attentive, warm, and kind. The inside is small but cozy. A great spot for a coffee date, friend date, or solo date.“

“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 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“

“Been a neighborhood coffee shop that we can always count on for fair price, good food , quick delivery with a smile. They don't forget anything in your order , add the utensils,napkins, salt pepper ketchup and drinks wrapped tight in cellophane so nothing is spilled! Will always be my favorite neighborhood coffee shop.“

“My wife and I, wanted to experience a different place to eat from. After searching Google search, she decided to go to this diner after reading their reviews.This was our first time visiting "The Classic Diner." When we arrived to the location there was a small parking lot. I looked at my wife like," Where the h--- you bought me to! She payed no attention to my expression. She went to the back of the car and pulled out my wheelchair, then we proceeded to the Diner. We was greeted by the owner who directed us to our table. That's where all the fun began. Our waiter who goes by the name Tino, was very professional wrapped in a sense of humor made our dining experience that much enjoyable. As we sat and talked, our meals came, it was more than we expected. Half fry chicken, cooked to perfection alongside large French toast, coffee and juice. Couldn't eat all the chicken, so we got a to-go plate. We really enjoyed ourselves.Thanks to The Classic Diner.We will be back!“

“Customers praise our friendly and attentive staff, who go above and beyond to make dining at Allen's Restaurant a truly memorable experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic dinner, or simply craving a delicious meal,“

“Ok so I first discovered Sal's in 1992, went to high school around the corner{Clara Barton). When I tell you I stopped every morning to get a BLTfor breakfast and a $2 dollar hero for lunch. Over the year I continued to support and they have yet to “

“Fantastic!!! This place is AWESOME. Food is delicious. Staff are super friendly. Seating is comfortable. Atmosphere is great. The manager is a genius for making people feel welcome: me; my friends; the other customers too. You can see it. It’s not just because I’m so cool. :^] It’s very very nice to come to a restaurant where there is so much quality and also so much in the way of personality. Top picks for me: -Romanian Steak (well worth the price) -Pancakes (incredible) Did I mention that the staff here is wonderful? Outgoing. Attentive. Yay!!“

“Going to Steve's is always a great time. With this past Sunday for brunch being no exception! We ordered 3 different omelettes and french toast. Everything cooked to perfection. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, easy going staff that always has a smile. Walked away happy and will be going again. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great, expansive menu. Nice location with a great interior. There is really something for everyone. The food was simple, but high quality which is exactly what a diner should be. Fresh ingredients and flavor simplicity goes a long way! Would return if in the area!“

“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 alway delicious but unfortunately with everything else, it's way too expensive... I ordered a Leo omelette with avocados and a bagel, nothing to drink and was close to $30. that will have to be my last time. I'll miss it but it's not worth that price.“

“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.“

“I am so impressed with this local gem! I love retro diners and this one is perfect! Always remember to get Challah french toast! My friend (Thanks, Ben L.!) and I met here for weekend breakfast. I got the hot cup of coffee which is a classic. We ordered the following dishes to share: Jackson House Breakfast and the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries! Both of these dishes were perfect and I had no bad remarks! Jackson House Breakfast, we got scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, home fries, challah french toast, and toast with butter on the side. Everything on this plate was so delicious especially the challah french toast - this was my favorite part! The challah french toast was so fluffy and flavorful in the middle and probably my favorite french toast ever! The breakfast sausage was very unique, it's the fat sausages. It has a nice crisp on the outside and meaty inside. Bacon Cheeseburger, this was a delicious burger! The burger patty had nice grilled marks on it and I loved the charred flavor. Fries on the side was crispy and not oily at all! How did they do this? I can't wait to come back!“

“If you're looking for a classic diner, look no further. Me and my lady LOVED three decker. She got the buffalo chicken wrap - to die! I had a mighty fine omelette (the departed). We had the best anniversary ever. Waitress good too, -1 star for bathroom cleanliness. Xoxo, RT“

“Omg this place was delicious!! Such great service and Mario was an excellent waiter. He was patient and helped me find foods on the menu that were gluten free for my dietary restrictions. The food was quick and efficient. I appreciate this place so much! Please come and enjoy their fresh food! ❤️??I will be back again!!“

“Excellent service however to the owners please put a lock on the ladies bathroom as it is only meant for one lady to use at a time. The bathroom stall has a big opening where if anyone enters into the bathroom you are exposed. Your every private part and what you are wiping is exposed. Unacceptable. Do something about this. The woman who work there why haven’t you complained! I see you use it also?“

“We have been going here for years. Great breakfast platters. Huge portions. Prices are in the $$ range. Great diner food but with a creative twist. We order different things but our favorites include corned beef hash, French toast with sausage, turkey blue, and the burgers! What I do not agree with is their practice of adding $1-$2 on every dish for home delivery. Prices should be uniform regardless of whether you eat in or dine out. So as an example, an $8.95 platter will be $9.95 if you order for delivery.Please be aware of it. It's small but it adds up and we certainly don't live in 1991 anymore, where everything is affordable Worth a stop though!!“

“Came in for breakfast this morning at Perry’s…although it was very busy I was seated almost immediately by a beautiful and Bubbly brunette. The food was great …the place had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere Service was great … Though this was my first time here , I will definitely be back !! Places like this are hard to find…“

“Still good- but a much different experience during peak times. A bit of a chaotic rush inside and a long wait to be seated, but this is expected at 10 am on a Sunday...and a pretty good sign of how the food is. We have eaten here on a Saturday at 9am and the atmosphere was more relaxed and we received more attention. The food is pretty impressive either way. Good quality ingredients are prepared with care here. Don't start with me on how good the challah French toast was. And the home fries met every expectation I ever had for potatoes!We are quickly becoming regulars...during non-peak times, that is!“

“Walking into Jimbo’s Hamburger Place is less liking walking into a place than it is like walking into a hamburger. You inhale hamburger steam. You see through hamburger vapor. You are having a hamburger sauna. You’re engulfed by the greasy haze of decades of hamburger. You believe you’re getting a film. If you’re a fairly antiseptic person you will tell yourself to flee. But since you want a really good hamburger, you will tell yourself to sit. You will allow yourself to drift back into fifties luncheonette culture. You will be rewarded with “The Best Chopmeat Money Can Buy.”“

“Best Diner in the bronx and reasonably priced. All food is fresh, deserts are great. It's the old fashion diner which are fading. We need more regular diners like this oneIts neighborhood customers are regular patrons, and everyone, know everyone. Staff is friendly. Professional and clientele customers are all friendlySoup and salad included with your dinnerNot many places offer thisIt's like I said it's the old days where diner's offered this combination, good value for your money. Food is always good. I have been going here for years.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in back exit“

“Great little local breakfast place off Madison Ave. All of our food was fresh and fast. The restaurant doesn't have a restroom and there are only two tops and a long bar area. We sat at the bar and was literally in and out in less than 30 minutes. I'd come back for sure!“

“I have loved this place since I first came here as a teenager. Now I come with my own family and the cozy atmosphere has never changed. The waiters are kind and always ready to bring another fresh cup of coffee. I love that this establishment has a mix of both young and older patrons. Jahns is a special gem in our neighborhood and I hope it stays that way.“

“I definitely recommend Goerges Restaurant. We sat down, made our order, and waited for just a few. then came the food. I had the skirt stake with the baked potato, and my wife had the turkey with cranberry sauce. My mouth and stomach were overjoyed. The only thing that we didn't understand was the apple cream custard under the turkey. Either way, we sat by the window and went all in.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is at ground level.“

“I highly recommend!! Great food!! I was there for breakfast, I can't wait to try lunch! It was clean, and neat (very important to me!!), great service, and friendly staff...also a must! One thing that stood out, is the "Fallen Soldier Table", a table set to honor our fallen soldiers. Since my son and husband are Veterans, this table has special meaning.“

“The food was great. I was craving lox but i was also craving eggs and home fries…. so i got both! It really just hit the spot!! The homefries were a little bland- but nothing a little salt and BUTTER can’t fix! I actually preferred this over the overly greasy, salty, and mushy homefries you get at most other places so i can’t complain much. Eggs were perfectly cooked, sausage was scrumptious, the lox and veggies were SO SO FRESH, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was great! (bonus points for free wifi)The waitress was phenomenal. She truly made our experience. Bubbly, kind, warm, inviting.. a one of a kind server! I didn’t catch her name, but a mature lady with long blonde hair, glasses, and the sweetest accent you ever heard! I truly think she is an absolute gem. All servers should be like her- a true example of hospitality and grace!“

“Cycled 40 miles from south shore Long Island. Got here 9 am and not much options in the area.Spoke to a local jogger and he recommended City Island Diner for its food & comfort. I’m glad I took his advice.Walked in and was politely greeted to an old school diner with counter top seats. I got the front row bar stool facing the cook.Watching the orders come in and the cook dishing out his magic. It’s akin to watching a conductor at a symphony.Close your eyes and listen closely to the eggs cracking and being scrambled. You can smell the home fries with peppers & onions. Hear the sizzling of the bacon.My pastrami omelette arrived in a big way. Fantastic flavor & portion. ??Really enjoyed the meal and especially the hospitality. Loved the venue ??“

“I am from florida and visited my friend here in Ridgewood. This diner is so cute, I went twice on my visit. Isabella was so sweet to us, recognized and knew my friend who I was visiting, and the food was plenty for a good price. I got french toast with handmade cinnamon apples on my first visit that was mouth watering and then pancakes on my second that were even better.“
