    MTA sandwich - grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, bacon and tzaziki sauce on pita. With onion rings.
    Yessenia F.

    I was looking for a meal to eat in the area, and most places on the block were closed - it was already 9 pm. Lucky for us, this diner is open 24 hours! When I arrived, a lot of tables were being served, so I figured it was going to be a good spot to order food. I was not disappointed! We ordered the cheeseburger deluxe (which comes with fries, pickles, and a small side of cole slaw). We also got one of their sandwich specials, the MTA, which came with grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a pita bread with tzatziki sauce. This sandwich was delicious and filling, but it was a bit dry for my taste despite the tzatziki sauce. Instead of fries, we asked for onion rings. Service was quick and very kind! They kept checking in on us despite how busy it got. The portions were very generous, and the price is just right! I can see why this store is a staple in the Park Slope area. It gives a cute, retro diner vibe. It's homey and clean. I must come back to try their donuts! There was a gentleman who kept coming out of the kitchen with full trays of fresh donuts, and they had such a wide variety!!

    Pancakes veggie omelette

    It's been so long since I have dined in an actual diner, so when my friend who was visiting from out of town asked me where we can go for a quintessential diner experience, I was completely dumbfounded. We made our way to this establishment and were not disappointed!! This a small little space tucked away on the corner of 7th Ave and 9th St, right across the road from Smiling Pizza. As you enter, the extensive and abundant donut stand greets you. It's quite cozy inside with countertop seats and tables. I went with the veggie omelette and a side of avocado. Our food came out pretty quickly, and I particularly liked the butter toast that was served on the side with the salted butter quietly oozing away in between the slices. My omelette was made well, had the perfect ratio of vegetables. Potatoes tasted good, I was really happy that they weren't super greasy. We also ordered a small stack of two pancakes to share just for that sweet indulgence. The pancakes here I believe, have a little bit of cornmeal in them because they had an interesting texture, which I really liked. You can totally tell this is a classic neighborhood place, lots of local families and people just chilling and relaxing inside enjoying their meal. I love coming into little spots like these that give you a feeling of community. Our server was really nice and on top of everything. I have to come back and try other things on their menu. Come here for a heart breakfast anytime!!

    Talk about an awesome late night spot!! Open 24 hours and service was phenomenal. Make sure to bring cash as this is a cash only restaurant. Meals were simple and quickly served. Onion rings were just the right level of crispy. Highly recommend checking this place out for quick food late at night

    In a day and age where the very concept of what constitutes a diner seems more muddled in a city with rising rents and therefore menu prices 7th Ave donuts seems to stand out. The interior is exactly what you'd want, some old school vibes. The service is fantastic, not only was our waitress so sweet but the behind the counter people were jovial despite a super busy Saturday. The quality of the food combined with the price sets it even higher up for me. Super solid breakfasts and you can easily be full for less than $11 per person. But why stop there where you can grab a donut on the way out?! The eye grabbing display might remind one of a Dunkin (in the best way possible) but these homemade donuts far outstrip anything mass produced. You simply must go.

    This was my second trip here. Last time I had dessert and coffee but this time we had dinner. What a great spot for exactly what you want. The menu has a bit of everything. My son wanted his fries extra crispy and they delivered. He got a grilled cheese with two cheeses as well. The servers are very friendly. The wall mirrors and tiled floors are so cute. I just love 7th Ave. Donuts any time of day or night.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Plus there was stuff that the 2 kids with us would eat.

There were drinks -- coffee, hot chocolate, and something fruity. They also brought us corn chips and a bean dipping sauce to start -- YUM! I really liked the hot green sauce that accompanied the meal, too. This is a great find!

I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok.

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
