I cannot reccomend this place enough. I went for breakfast with my grandpa and almost didn't stay cause it was packed and we didn't think we'd find seating. The owner waved us down as we were leaving to let us know he had a booth open if we wanted it still and boy am I glad we stayed. I got the banana pancakes with some sausage and eggs. It was beautiful. Chefs kiss. The owner? So kind, so funny, amazing all around. He sent us home with some greek bread to top it all off. I would've kissed that man on the lips if he asked it was that good. read more

I do not recommend this Diner they clearly don't know what the heck they're doing when I received my order I asked for Sunnyside up eggs and a specific amount and that wasn't done they gave my way less remind you they charge me for the extra ones that I asked for they didn't cook it thoroughly the clear liquid was still on the eggs it was disgusting I had to discard it I got sick from their sausages that weren't done thoroughly as well everything was just a hot mess I will never order from these people ever again they're not nice over the phone it's just like they rush you off the phone and that is not professional at all‍ read more

I went to check this place out since it got high ratings on Yelp. It didn't disappoint! I was really hungry, but regardless it was delicious. Cooked to perfection my beef gyro combo was sooo good. It came with French fries and a small Greek salad. Very fresh. My mother got the pastrami sandwich and it came with coleslaw and pickle. The coleslaw was also fresh and tasted good. Some diners have coleslaw that taste meh or old but this one was good. That usually tells me it's a descent place that doesn't skimp on quality. It's part of a strip mall. It's a small cute diner with can probably seat 50 people max. It was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. I definitely would come back here again. The prices are very good. Highly recommend! read more

Considering this is a smaller and more cozy diner, the food and service is really great. My family loves going to diners for breakfast on the weekends (especially this one because of the service and great prices), but as a vegan it's always a struggle to find a decent meal at a diner. I love coming to central plaza though because they can really hook up a good plate of home fries for me. I typically get a side of home fries with veggies (mushrooms, spinach, onion, broccoli) and it always comes out great. This with an apple juice or a side of mixed fruit holds me over nicely. Unfortunately, they don't have a veggie burger which is my second if not first go to order when going to a diner, but hopefully it gets added. if not I'll be perfectly content eating their crispy and veggie-filled home fries. read more

I used to go to this diner for many years and just moved back into the area after being relocated out of state for Two years. I ordered an Omelette and my wife ordered Pancakes. The food was much lower quality than it used to be and there was a surcharge on the eggs since they said the prices went up. All in all not a good or memorable experience and there are MANY other places to eat at that have better food and more realistic prices. A big NEVER AGAIN for me......... read more

We ate dinner here in early September 2024. It was the best meal we had in a month-long road trip around New York State. The place does not look like much on the outside, but it was so nice to walk into an air-conditioned, cheerful environment on a hot day. The server was very friendly. We both ordered the veal scallopini with asparagus, portobello mushrooms, red bell peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes in marsala sauce. It was excellent and very reasonably priced. read more

Lovely little diner with good food and service. It's become our new Sunday brunch spot.

Such a warm, homey diner serving delicious food. I'm usually there doe breakfast, but their lunch and dinner menus are also delicious! The servers are friendly and accommodating, and the omelette, massive breakfast skillets, Pancakes and open face turkey sandwich are excellent. read more

After living nearby for years and never trying this place, we can't get enough of it. We finally discovered it a few weeks ago, and it has already become one of our go-to places, both for eating out and ordering in. We have liked everything we have tried, breakfast, traditional diner fare, sandwiches, and quality dinners. Prices are reasonable. Quality is great. Portions are big. And the service is absolutely top-notch, and super friendly. The only "negatives" are that parking can be a little tight, as can seating inside. This should not dissuade you. I only mention it so that you are prepared. Our first time, we had to park a bit away and walk, but we have been able to park in the lot on subsequent trips. Inside, there don't seem to be any tables, only booths. It is perfect for my wife and I. But you might want to think about the seating arrangement if you have a larger party. They have great specials, for a nice variety. And whenever we have ordered delivery, we have gotten our food quickly. We love this place, especially the super-nice staff. read more

I always go to this diner since it's so close and has a very homey feel, but lately the food hasn't been all that great- I ordered a Spanish omelette and when I got it it was a regular omelette with what looks like very watery salsa poured all over it. Very unappetizing My spouse ordered a bagel with cream cheese and jelly and they just threw a square slab of cream cheese on it and gave me 2 packets of jelly on the side- which was upsetting- honestly charge me half price if I have to do half your work for you. The service is great and the servers are always very nice but it seems like you need a new cook in back- this one seems pretty lazy and isn't making a good meals anymore. It's very unfortunate because I really do love this place but this is the last time I'll ever eat at this place again! read more

I say, As far as local spots go, this certainly fits the bill though, don't let its size fool you; this establishment serves some of the best diner fare around and is easily the best diner for breakfast in Yonkers! Service is good, food is excellent, and prices are low! PRO TIP: arrive early on Sundays to avoid the breakfast/lunch rush as it's diminutive size definitely presents problems on weekends read more

This review is for the OWNER. I'm gonna give it to you straight, my friend. CLEAN YOUR BATHROOMS. The food is good, the prices are right and the staff is friendly and efficient. All these factors aside? I will not be back, and it's down to the cleanliness. Floors are sticky, and the toilets (which are way too close to the kitchen) are just gross. They stink. Pay your people an extra 30-45 min. At closing time, and have them REALLY clean those bathrooms. I mean scrub-a-dub, my man. As it stands, it feels like using a gas station toilet. This is NOT a good look for an eatery. I mean, c'mon. You should not have to be told this. It's truly keeping us away. read more

We were in the area while traveling and needed an easy 7:00 pm dinner. We picked the right spot with this small busy diner. Our waiter, Ziggy, was friendly and anticipated our needs. My husband had a turkey sandwich with a pickle and very good coleslaw The rye bread was fresh and the the roasted turkey piled high. I had a scrumptious breakfast wrap with the best home fries ( not greasy!) I've ever had. Many patrons were clearly regulars. There was a lot of friendly banter. We liked the food and the vibes. read more

This place is always been the affordable diner in the area. I don't take credit cards so you have to bring cash or use the money machine. The food is not fancy. For example that give you margarine instead of butter for the bread but the cells are actually quite good and the portions are a good size I got a grilled chicken with her homemade balsamic vinaigrette and it was quite good. You're not going to impress anyone but coming here but if you want a good cheat meal in Westchester this is your place read more

Very busy small diner...If you want a place to sit and your in a group please arrive early. Food was fantastic and the bran muffin was very moist and flavorful. My waiter didn't get her name was pleasant and very tentative. Not expensive either. *Friendly reminder bring cash* Wish they took debit other than that the service was excellent! Will be coming back again read more

This is a Diner that I've driven past for at least 15 or more years. Today, as I contemplated breakfast, I stumbled upon this place on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. I had corned beef hash and 2 eggs and I loved it. The service was excellent, the food was great as well as the prices. This place has a lot of breakfast specials and the portions are satisfying. I'll be eating here more often. read more

Unbelievable some of the best food I have ever eaten. I kind of think you're in a time warp since the prices are so reasonable. I've been going here for about two or three months for lunch and getting their specials for around $10 with a soup as well. Andy is the owner and he is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet a true hands-on owner who is always there making sure his customers get a great hot meal. Please take a look at some of my meals over the past week ... All of them were unbelievable.... read more

Ok diner, but not one of the better choices. Been passing this place for years, though never tried them. Finally decided to give this place a try recently. Inside is very small, but has an older nostalgic feel to it. If you come during a busy time, be prepared to wait in the small waiting area. I don't mind the small cutesy size of this place, but others may. The waiters are very friendly. The service was quick enough. The breakfast was "ok" - I've definitely had better. The french toast wasn't anything special. The sausages were thicker than the norm, but also nothing special. Maybe I came on an off day, but I probably won't come back for breakfast unless I have no other choice. This is one of those places were they don't accept cards, so you need to have cash with you for the bill. The parking lot is poorly structured, but it's the fault of the landlord and not this place. Use caution, because a lot of people have trouble maneuvering in the biggest of lots as it is. There's a decent amount of spaces however and the lot is next to the diner (which shares the land with other businesses). Overall ok. read more

I was very upset with this small diner when I observed them not following ANY Covid protocol when we were in the thick of things. No masks, no attempt. When I went to pick up a take-out order, nobody had masks on, not even the person who was handling my food and went to hand it to me (I said no thank you). It really turned me off to a diner I've been going to for many years, and I have no reason to return. Unfortunate, but so was this entire past year. Very disappointing to me. (Before the anti-maskers laugh at this review, this is a food service place, and really should be ashamed of themselves). read more

Mom's favorite diner. The food is consistently great. Giant salads with perfectly grilled chicken. Wonderful male waiters who cater to customers. JoJo and Angel are the best. Lorenzo who buses tables is a doll. Great diner for elders: they'll turn off the ceiling fans or adjust blinds to make the customer comfortable. Waiters are loving and explain everything; salt free options etc... The prices are unbeatable. The staff is happy to see you. I always feel at home here. Mom plugs in her oxygen, we sit as long as we like, and always take some food home. Homemade Rice Pudding -- awesome Egg special $3.25 with homefries -- always fresh eggs, great homefries - not greasy Coffee -- always fresh! they can make an espresso or cappucino also. Salads -- top notch, generous, low prices. Hamburgers - great. Pastrami - great Bronzino - or catch of the day -- excellent. Spaghetti and Meatballs -- great. Gyros - great Lox - great This is the comfy diner of your dreams. Tip well! They deserve it. read more

I ordered a turkey bacon and egg on whole wheat toast this morning. This was in my breakfast sandwich, two hard pieces of god-knows-what. I took a bite and felt something hard as a rock between my teeth, I was completely disgusted and couldn't finish my sandwich and through it away. Looking at the turkey bacon, the cuts were weird, uneven, I've never had turkey bacon like this before. I've slowly stopped ordering from this place, this was the icing on the cake. Do better! read more

The first couple of times that I ate here is was good enough for me to come back but this last time, the young lady at the cashier had terrible customer service. I told her no meat and my meal came with sausage and bacon. When I pointed it out she was barely paying any attention to me and took the next call. I sat waiting until I just eventually left. Ruined my morning. I could only ate the portion with no meat on it. read more

Haven't been there for a couple of years, since I moved upstate. After taking care of business I thought I'd try it out of nostalgia. It's still the same; a small diner with quick service, good food, and reasonable prices. Had a pastrami on rye that was moist and tasty, not dry or overstuffed. It's the kind of place that has a following of regulars. The waiter was professional. It's nice to know there's a place that is still there, all these years. read more

After a short hiatus the boys are back with another diner review. Amidst much fanfare we hit the Central Plaza Diner in Yonkers. There was a decent crowd but we sat rather quickly and our meal commenced. As we sat and perused the menu it seemed as if people were staring in our direction and whispering...were people starting to recognize us??? Is it possible people are hitting Westchester Diners more frequently on Tuesday mornings in hope of catching a glimpse of Diner Royalty??...Or was it simply because we were wearing matching baby blue tuxedos?? Hard to tell. Back to the review. As per usual, I had whole wheat pancakes with bacon and eggs and my partner in crime had the Challah French toast. We were pleasantly surprised with the time it took to get the food but even more so about serving sizes - the plates were loaded with deliciousness. We did our best to devour every last bite but we fell a little short. It was at this very moment when we decided we couldn't handle any more that the server was dropping the check, clearing our table and rushing us out. In total, we were probably at the table for 13 minutes. My brother and I hadn't even gotten a chance to finish our business meeting before we got the proverbial "Thank you, come again". I guess that's the price you pay for some good ole greasy Diner food sometimes. 7.4/10 -Two Brothers of Westchester Diner Reviews read more

You get sucked in by their sign in the window for a breakfast special but when you get inside you find out it's "not being offered today because it's President's Day" So once you decide to try the breakfast anyway they hit you with a check for $10! Meanwhile get a load of the huge crumb cake on the counter right where patrons are eating and staff is working! Center of cake covered beautifully with Saran Wrap but edges completely uncovered as cellophane has come loose! It's almost Spring and this place has Christmas & New Years decorations on the windows. Server behind counter not in a uniform just wearing street clothes. Long black hair without benefit of head covering or net. Negative feedback to owner not accepted gracefully. Instead you hear about how he is the king and the diner is his castle! read more

I went here for dinner with my husband and we were very pleased! I ordered the chicken and broccoli with scampi sauce and I swapped out the penne for mashed potatoes. My husband got the steak n shrimp. Dessert was included and it was a home run! Homemade bread pudding with whip cream on top. read more
