    I had breakfast for lunch - Eggs Benedict and hot tea - which I enjoyed. The service was pleasant and efficient. They're proud to not have wifi which is refreshing.

    A USED Band-aid I bit into... was in my BLT sandwich
    Heather K.

    This band-aid was in the MIDDLE OF MY BLT SANDWICH. We were in town visiting. No time to contact the proper authorities as we were leaving right that night. I literally bit down on this used, nasty, finger wrapped band-aid. Who loses a band-aid and doesn't know it, or say something about it??? Ummm... how stoned were they??? Yes, they comp'd our bill, but with all the diseases in this world, that means nothing! I had to rinse my mouth with boiling hot water, and then call my brother-in-law who is an ER doc for advice. Luckily he thinks I'll be ok, but AIDS or Hepatitis wouldn't show for weeks. I just can't understand how this happened?!?!

    My broiled salmon dinner, mashed potatoes, turnips, and salad!
    Alexia G.

    I love this diner so much! I love to come here for dinner. We always order the lemon chicken over rice, broiled salmon. Mashed potatoes, turnips, and sautéed spinach are all my go tos. Management and wait staff are all very kind and hospitable. Soup here is delicious and it's a wonderful place to sit down and relax. Coffee is great, desserts are delicious. The bread pudding is my absolute favorite I have ever tried. They offer dinner specials and you can have a glass of wine with dinner! Favorite diner in the area. Thank you!

    This is old school diner. I ordered a tuna melt with fries. It took about 30 minutes to get served. So if you're in a hurry I would suggest the Cottage around the corner! LMAO

    Always enjoy breakfast here. Great deal. Today I had the Western Omelette with home fries and rye toast. Food and service was excellent. Thanks!

    Hash and Eggs. Number 11..

    Thirty years later the interior remains the same with virtuality no deterioration, so light aqua remains the main color theme. Everything leading up to my plate arriving was properly performed. Water delivered, orders taken and coffee poured. You'll find the five stars and the small details of my experience are heavily correlated. Our table was quickly cleared and cleaned, set and ready in a moment. The coffee came immediately, a wonderful brew, strong and robust. Thinking back, I'm happy that I ordered my two eggs sunny side up, something struck me that there was something different about them. The yellow of the yolk was a noticeable bright yellowish orange, the yolks were quite thick and stood higher, perhaps thicker is a better way of describing it. The corned beef hash was not greasy, very flavorful and was well proportioned to the home fries and the rye bread was perfectly toasted and buttered. Such wonderful service we did we recieve that an extra few bucks tip left upon the table was a must.

    Brunch special - Ham steak with 2 eggs, home fries (or French fries), toast, bottomless coffee, and wine. $11.90.

    This is a member of a class of restaurant that seems to be on the wane here in New York City; the diner. I come here for the brunch specials when I want something a bit different for brunch, such as their corned beef hash or their French toast, which as others have said is... different in a way I can't quite describe, and of course in a good way. The French toast brunch special comes with bacon, one sausage link, and a very thin slice of ham underneath the French toast. I am writing this after having their corned beef hash brunch special, which comes with home fries, two eggs served per your choice, and toast. All brunch specials come with your choice of juice or wine, and coffee with free refills. Two blocks down on Austin St., you can get an organic guacamole and chips appetizer for $10 at a Hispanic restaurant, or a $20 brunch special at a Greek restaurant. Needless to say, I love restaurants that offer great deals. Their extensive menu has matzo ball soup and other such dishes, so if you're ever in the mood for Jewish dishes, they seem to have that on offer. The service is... spotty. I wouldn't say bad, but certainly not good. There is an older waitress I almost every time I come here on a Sunday who just seems... slow and inattentive. I routinely have to flag her down more than once for coffee refills. Also, a hearty laugh at people whining on here about insensitive depictions of Native Americans and calling them Indians, which is outdated and inaccurate. Management seems to have gotten the message at least, for I have never, not once, seen these images. In closing, if you want a good brunch special in Forest Hills and want something a bit different than your usual spots, but not different to the point you head to Roosevelt Ave. and get Filipino or Chinese for breakfast, feel free to give this place a shot. Be forewarned that the service isn't top tier, though.

    Interior
    John A.

    I've read a lot of bad reviews for this place but that was after I stopped in for dinner. The interior of this place is definitely dated and in need of a renovation. Old diners like this are either cool and retro or not so cool and kind of dirty. This one had a dirty vibe. (The bathroom is gross) The salt and pepper shaker on my table looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the 70s. My server was fine, but she was not the friendliest person. She spoke very little ... just took my order and disappeared for a good half hour. Ironically she was the one that told me the place closes at 7:30 when I walked in at 6:30. I thought -- who cares, I have plenty of time. Little did I know my order wasn't going to come out for 30 minutes! It felt like I was sitting there forever. I finished my water and then asked for a drink when she finally came back 30 minutes later. The diner was NOT busy. Maybe 3 other tables had guests. I ordered comfort food -- chopped steak with mashed potatoes and corn. It was a large portion and it was good. The mashed potatoes and gravy had an odd color but everything was tasty. It was the vibe of the place that put me off. A man came in at one point with the food that he had picked up earlier, screaming about how it was undercooked. The owner took the food out of the container and handed it back to the cook. I'm not even sure what it was. It was just so off putting, especially NOW after reading so many reviews about that kind of thing. I worried later, about whether I would have a stomach ache "later" and I did not. So overall, my food was very good, the service and atmosphere was odd. I wouldn't go back as I would try somewhere else on Austin Street ... and there were tons of places!

We were also intrigued to try the sangria that yelp raved about. We got a pitcher! It did NOT disappoint. It was a decent size pitcher for the price. Roza came to us and asked if we liked it and told us it was her recipe. No sugar ,No soda .It was tasty, thick full of fruit and definitely had liquor because I left with a buzz She also brought out the rosè for us to try pretty good too very refreshing will definitely do that one in warmer weather. I got the Dbar burger it was good but so big I didn't finish it all. My husband got the rib eye burger. He liked it but it was a little to greasy for him he didn't finish it. My 13 year old wanted breakfast.It was not in the menu but we figured we ask since it is a diner. She got pancakes with fruit and scrambled eggs. My youngest daughter got from the kids menu grilled cheese with fruit she enjoyed it so much we had to order another. Both girls for the marshmallow milkshake they LOVED it! For appetizers we got calamari good but could've used a little more breading. Also got chips with guacamole and honestly for a diner it was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Roza knew she had a bday past since we conversed for a bit and suggested we can sing her happy bday and asked what she liked I told her chocolate cake. They asked for the correct spelling of her name which I thought was sweet. Anyway the staff came out and sang with us super cool. Even the bathrooms are really clean. It was a great experience will definitely come back.I must be honest it's a hit pricey.The price for the pancakes with eggs was $23 when we saw the bill I was a little surprised. Kids' meals are $13 and I thought we were getting the cake (free,lol) since I technically didn't suggest it. It was $12 for a slice. But overall it was a pleasure she even gave us a sample of vodka with lemon and ginger which was actually good and helps settle the stomach.

I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

    We came here for breakfast as a group of four and had a great start to the day. The staff were very…read morefriendly and attentive, and the service felt warm and welcoming throughout our meal. The portions were generous--classic diner style--and everything came out hot and satisfying. From the French toast and pancakes with bacon to the eggs Benedict and breakfast sandwich, there was plenty to enjoy. Coffee refills were quick, which we appreciated. The retro interior has a cozy, nostalgic charm, and the booths get lots of natural light in the morning. Another convenient touch: they have their own parking lot, which makes stopping by much easier. A dependable spot for a hearty breakfast. We'd happily return!
