    Food was great service was quick the ambiance was very homey it's a family owned business , diner style definitely coming back (I'm from jersey)

    the interior of the restaurant

    10$ omelette not bad. Always open, average Bronx diner. They accept cash only atm available onsite.

    I've been coming to this diner for over a decade. This place is the perfect diner. The food has always been great except one occasion. My mom ordered an omelette and it was burnt and disgusting and my pancakes were burnt. When the waitress realized my mom didn't eat her food, they did not charge her for her meal. Besides this incident, I really like this place. It's my go to diner. They have delivery, pick up service, and take out. The waitresses are friendly and this place is pretty clean. Most importantly it's very affordable.

    Easy foods and quick and nice service!

    I came here few times. Near by subway and good location. Just needed A/C today! Very hot outside... Foods are generally okay. Good services!

    Spanish coffee

    A warm family cafe diner located in the Bronx. It's clearly a neighborhood favorite. The food is tasty and the servings are generous. Definitely get the Spanish coffee with cinnamon.

    If you're not sure what to order, the great thing about Sunlight is that it probably has any of your cravings on their menu. Sunlight has an old school diner feel to it with servers who are attentive and friendly. You walk in and you feel like you've traveled back in time to what diners should be like. I like that the place is not too big, its just big enough. The feel in Sunlight is retro for sure, I find the pink seating to be charming. Working near by I do not always have time to go out and look for what I want to eat. Going to Sunlight, you know you will find a great option and wont have to wait too long to get served. Even when they are super busy with their morning crowd, they still aim to please and make sure your order is correct. Whether your ordering for take out or dining in you will be happy with your service. Sunlight is very generous with their portion sizes as well. If you weren't that hungry, you will be leaving with leftovers. Sunlight is reasonably priced for the most part. You get a healthy size of food regardless of your order. They can get pricey with the add ons so if you're on a tight budget just make sure to ask for the prices. The friendly staff is more than happy to accommodate. I enjoy breakfast most of all at Sunlight. If I need to take it to go, my favorite order is the egg sandwich on toast. If I'm sitting, one of the more hearty breakfast choices is the way to go. They have yummy pancakes and will put anything into an omelet! (again will satisfy any craving). Other than that the food is pretty decent. If I could change something it would be their shoestring french fries. I love French fries, hear me out, but not shoe string fries, I find them to be too skinny and not crunchy enough. Other than that I'm usually pretty happy with my service at Sunlight. Its a great go to reliable spot in the area for a causal and relaxing meal.

    Service: 5 stars Food: 4 stars (3.5 if you don't know what…read moreto order) Price: 3.5 stars A longtime riverdale resident proposed the Johnson Diner and Bar for a late lunch. We benefited from her experience and good taste in guiding us through the menu. She ordered a caesar salad with grilled shrimp that looked divine! I love a good tuna melt and she said the Johnson had a good one- plain, but you can add whatever accoutrements you wish. I stuck with the classic and found it simple and satisfying She recommended one of the other salads (the asian salad) to my mom- with grilled chicken breast or shrimp. My mom's first job waitressing job in highschool was at a greek diner and upon discovering the Johnson Diner is greek, she had to try their Mousaka $21 served with a generous portion of greek salad. My mom enjoyed her Mousaka and said it had the perfect amt of cinnamon and spices- she ate the whole plate- she's usually a "take half home" eater- but said she wished she had ordered the salad as it looked fresh and light- and she felt full after the heavier Mousaka Maybe Mousaka for dinner, salads for lunch and brunch!

Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

    I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!
