    I ordered chicken noodle soup and they literally gave me Campbell's chicken noodle soup and had the audacity to charge me $7.60 for it, I know times are tough but that's ridiculous

    Bell Omelet
    Cindy J.

    The staff were pleasant and helpful. I got what I asked for. It can be a busy dinner. A lot of regulars. My omelet was over cooked. Home fries were standard. I did like their brunch deal. You get an entree, coffee, and a drink.

    Brunch

    I had brunch here last week and the service and food were great. Friendly attentive staff. The Bloody Mary was a bit spicy for my liking. The brunch meal comes with one cocktail and who doesn't love unlimited good diner coffee. I will definitely be back!

    The first time trying Bell Diner. The staff was friendly and made some brunch recommendations. We had the Cobb Panini and Egg white veggies omelet from their brunch special with mimosa and coffee. Everything came out well-prepared. I will try other dishes when in the neighborhood.

    I ordered a bacon, egg, and Swiss sandwich online for pickup. The sandwich tasted very fresh and was still hot by the time I walked back to work! I paid $12 for this. I wish it was a bit lower in price, but at least it was very good.

    Backyard Burger Deluxe
    Sam E.

    Bell diner is pretty solid! I am a huge fan of diners in general since you get to pick from a wide array of choices and they tend to be family-owned. This diner had the classic diner feel and the typical menu items. I got the backyard burger deluxe which came with a delicious chipotle mayo sauce and fries (I opted to substitute sweet potato fries!). It was a really big burger about 1/2 lb and it was cooked just right. I was craving a burger and it definitely satisfied my craving. The service was quick and they seemed to have a good customer base which is usually a good sign. Will have to come back to try some of their other food!

    Well new ownership has improved this place to the point where it's still the local place to go when you want a menu the has almost everything. Tonight my choice was a tuna melt with American cheese and a salad instead of French fries. Delicious along with a Diet Coke.

    This should be called bread toast. Not French toast.

    Liked it. Food was solid, sandwich could have used a condiment. I should have asked. Home fries were very good. Nice atmosphere.

    I've been coming here since they opened and have supported them during covid. Adding a 4% charge for. Credit or debit cards is a bit much.

Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The calamari and shrimp ceviche were both delicious - the calamari was well battered and the ceviche was fresh.

We got the bottomless mimosas. They gave us two glasses and a picture of mimosas. Everything was really good. As an appetizer we ordered the focaccia grilled cheese bites. The vodka sauce dip was so amazing. Honestly, that was hands-down, the best thing. For our main, I ordered the Mediterranean Benedict. They made the Benedict. Perfect, I love the prosciutto with it. It does come on top of a focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sweet potato fry squares. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

The place is known for their pancakes and they have a huge variety! I was debating between the blueberry pancakes or the banana brulee pancakes. I went with the blueberry pancakes and it was delicious! Lots of blueberry inside the pancakes and blueberry compote on top. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful without being too sweet or overload. My boyfriend and I also shared a salmon eggs benedict on the seasonal menu. It was one of the best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had. The portion was perfect - two decent sized Benedicts with a small salad on the side. The best thing is that the Benedict is not on an English muffin, but a hash brown. The service was great as they came by several times to ask if we were ready to order before we actually ordered. They were also very attentive in refilling our water cups. The place is relatively small so I can see how it gets crowded. There is a restroom in the rear for customers. One final tip is that this place does not accept credit cards - only cash, Venmo or Zelle! Would definitely be back for the salmon eggs Benedict, to try other pancakes, and their drinks as well.

I remember coming to this place in its previous iteration (think it was called Jackson Hole)..and was excited to be trying a new spot (at least it was new to us!) I ordered my chicken souvlaki platter, but asked them to hold the fries (and just add extra salad). Others at the table had the chicken avocado club sandwich and a BLT (no tomato). Everything arrived very quickly....super hot and fresh. The food was excellent! My souvlaki was cooked perfectly and the giant chunk of feta on top of the salad was delightful. I probably should've asked them to hold the pita, but I did indulge in most of it. The tzatziki sauce was also just right. Nice to know that there's another good diner to choose from in the old hood!

The maple bacon wings are elite, and the buffalo chicken flatbread is honestly life-changing. What really makes OSP stand out, though, is the people. The staff is genuinely friendly, Billy is easily my favorite bartender of all time, and one of the owners, JR, is incredibly hospitable. He actually makes you want to keep coming back always pleasant, always welcoming. The vibe works at any time of day. If you want something low-key in the morning, this is the spot. At night, it turns into one of the hottest places on Bell Blvd. In the summer, the outdoor setup is great. Fair warning: weekend nights get packed almost standing room only.. so if you're claustrophobic, plan accordingly. That said, it's also an excellent place to watch sports, especially boxing and UFC events. Great food, great people, great energy. OSP does it right.

They provided a delicious penne alla vodka and beef meatballs that were truly exceptional. The penne alla vodka was creamy and rich with a perfectly balanced tomato flavor.

They were incredibly generous with real meat and had very little breadcrumb filler, which gave them a robust, hearty flavor and fantastic texture that our guests truly appreciated. It was clear that quality is a top priority for them. It is because of dedicated local businesses like One Station Plaza that we are able to successfully raise vital funds for our mission of supporting women in the New York community. Their commitment to using high quality ingredients while giving back shows a true dedication to their customers and their community, and it is exactly why I will continue to support businesses like theirs. We highly recommend One Station Plaza for their outstanding food, generous portions, and tremendous heart. Thank you for your kindness and for making our event such a success.
