    Amazing food at the crosstown diner . Service is amazing here and so is the food . Comfortable seating , clean and very friendly .

    Greek Gyro Platter (Lamb)

    We hadn't visited this restaurant in quite some time, so we decided to have lunch here today. I chose the Lamb Gyro Platter, while my mother opted for the meatloaf. While my gyro was okay my mother's lunch was really good. I'm inclined to return solely for the meatloaf, as it was very flavorful and enough for two or three smaller meals.

    First time here! I'm a big fan of diners so it's always nice to try one you've never been to! I loved how not busy it was on a Sunday and the decor! I came for brunch time and the service was good. I personally wasn't a fan of the French toast and my bf didn't really like that his burger was cooked WELL DONE when he asked for MEDIUM. I usually would ask for food to be fixed but he didn't want to wait again. Hopefully next time I come I won't be let down by the food and tryout some new dishes!

    I will start off by saying growing up in the neighborhood I would frequent this establishment with my family on the weekends. Whether it was a Sunday or a late night burger deluxe, I always seemed to enjoy it. Over the years they have gone through many changes as many of the surviving restaurants after Covid have. I really hate to give them this rating because I love the culture they have built and the longevity of their reign on this E. Tremont corner property. Serving families for generations. The service has always been fast and efficient, what you would want from a diner. My biggest issue is that the prices really don't match the quality of the food. The portions have gotten smaller and smaller and the prices have gone up. I do understand that wholesale items have gone up over the years but if I'm paying premium prices for dishes, I expect quality and if not that then at least quantity. The excuse of prices have gone up just really doesn't apply here because most of the items are frozen and mass produced. I am in the industry and while I can see prices have gone up, it is not at the scale that their prices reflect. I really don't see the value. I have noticed that they have built a strong online presence and have great marketing tactics to bring in customers which is great and moving with the times but now I feel the marketing needs to focus on appropriately pricing these items and possibly condensing the amount of food they offer. Or if they don't want to change the pricing at least consider the classic oversized portions of an old school diner. Besides the prices being high, they will nickel and dime you if you ask for a side of sauce. It's just off-putting when the prices are already questionable with the food quality. I love the corner property they reside at and I love the layout of the place. It's giving diner all around. If they have a prime location and great service-- they can fix up the food program and be elite. The history and service saved this from being a 2 star. I wish them the best!

    So a friend of mine, whom I've worked with many moons ago, who is now a full Content creator. She teamed up with Crosstown Diner to have a giveaway on Instagram and I took my chance and I was one of the five winners how cool is that :) I was sent a $100 gift card in the mail and I gathered my family and we all headed out there. When we arrived, we got seated immediately. It is a nice diner set up, clean with big screen TVs on the wall. We got our menus and I must say that it is overwhelming because there's so much to choose from but we finally narrowed it down. I ordered their Philly cheesesteak with Onion Rings with the Spiked Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake, which was so so good .Hubby ordered the Pastrami Sandwich with Fries our son ordered the Frankenstein Burger, which was massive, and our friend ordered the Fried Chicken and Fries. When we finally got served our food, it was piping hot how we like it and everything was delicious. Our waiter was really nice and attentive as well. Everyone except me carried home leftovers lol. I highly recommend and I do intend on going back before the summer is up. It would be great if you guys can branch off into the Manhattan or BROOKLYN area. Keep that in mind. Cheers :)

    To begin, I've ordered from here loads of times over the past 7 years I've lived in NYC, and I've especially bought the apple crumb pie several times before today. Never did I bother to look for mold because I have a lot of trust in most restaurants. I ate most of the pie and a piece fell over and there it was, the fuzziest mold I've ever seen on a piece of food. I am absolutely disgusted. Never have I had this issue before and thinking about how much of their desserts I've consumed before today, makes me ill just thinking about it. I called after I saw it to warn them not to sell it, and the person on the phone was quick to rush me off. It's like he didn't care at all. Not even an apology. He just said he'd look into it. If I get sick from having ate this when I have work tomorrow and absolutely cannot call out, I will be even more outraged than I already am.

    Brunch at the Crosstown Diner!

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Crosstown Diner, with two friends, for their new Brunch Board. We were completely overwhelmed, in a good way, with the amount of food that was served. There was pancakes, French toast, waffles and Nutella blueberries and strawberries. It was an incredible selection of food fit for a king. Our server Steven was great, very attentive and knew everything about Crosstown's menu. We will definitely be back!

    My experience was great,And the canoli French toast was absolutely delicious!! Make sure to check out there instagram menu!.

It's a cozy no frills spot with a few tables and decorated with images of the dishes. But I'm not here for the ambience, I'm here for the good food and as a Vietnamese person, I can confidently say the pho is authentic. The broth was aromatic and flavorful, with just the right amount of depth and richness. The noodles were perfectly al dente, and they were very generous with the meat. They also offer Bún Bò Huế, a spicy beef noodle soup from Central Vietnam. I find that restaurants on the East Coast often make their Bún Bò Huế a little too sweet, but thankfully, that wasn't the case here. The broth had a really nice balance of savory flavors and spice. It's a much heartier, more pungent soup than pho, and they did it very well. Honestly, both noodle soups were so delicious that I came back the very next day! The Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt was also delicious. My only critiques were that the shredded pork skin could have used more roasted rice powder, and the rice wasn't actually broken rice. Otherwise, everything on the plate was really good. We also tried the Ốc Mỡ Xào Me, or sea snails in tamarind sauce. I'd never had them prepared with this particular style of sauce before, but I'm glad I tried it. The sauce was creamy, sweet (a little too sweet?), and savory, and the bread was perfect for soaking up every last bit of it. The bun thit nuong cha gio and chicken parm hero were both good but the noodle soup dishes are still my favorites here. I washed everything down with a Vietnamese coffee which was the perfect finish. It was super strong and creamy, exactly the way it's supposed to be! Service was quick and easy! Everyone there was super friendly and nice! Overall, I was really impressed with the Vietnamese dishes here. Everything was flavorful and well executed, and the fact that I came back the very next day probably says it all!

    Fiorentina first popped up on my Yelp radar 3 yrs ago, back when I was still teaching in Throggs…read moreNeck and came with my teacher friends when we all worked in the area. My first thought back then was: Throggs Neck is trying to bring the FANCY back! Throggs Neck used to have some of THE most exclusive Italian restaurants on the strip. White tablecloths, fine dining, service, etc- you know...that old-school, "we're going OUT to dinner" energy. And over the years, a lot of those places disappeared. Fiorentina was determined to pick up where they left off. I'll confess something- I used to be one of those people who said, "I'm not eating at an Italian restaurant if Italians don't own it." Consider me corrected. Because these folks have been bringing their A-game STRONG. My first visit back in '23, my teacher friends and I kept things light. Food was good and atmosphere was nice- but the cocktails were weak. I can't speak on their current strength situation, so proceed carefully or just order wine.Fast-forward to visit #2 in September '26. I suggested Fiorentina for a family lunch after my daughter spent the weekend with her grandma, especially because Fiorentina is now offering a $25 prix-fixe lunch with salad+entrée+coffee or tea OR a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Plus, happy hour drinks EVERY DAY. Say less. We pulled up on a Saturday afternoon. Fiorentina is elegant. White tablecloths, elegant setting, servers who actually understand 'service'. I mean...everyone was attentive and accommodating without hovering over us every five seconds. And then came that bread basket. Chile. That bread with the honey butter deserves its own Yelp review. They say there's green apple in the butter- I didn't taste any- but I didn't care- because that slightly sweet butter was EVERYTHING. Then the food started landing. My daughter had penne with shrimp. I had linguine with clams that was garlicky. Two of my sisters and my mom went for the burgers, while my twin had a salad. We enjoyed ourselves so much that my daughter and I couldn't even finish everything and headed out with leftovers- which is never a problem for me. Service- excellent, The food is on point and the vibe- is exactly what Throggs Neck needs. Bring back the fancy. Bring back the white tablecloths. Bring back getting dressed and actually feeling like you're going out to dinner (or lunch). Fiorentina did exactly that. This second time around was all that and a bag of chips.

    Fiorentina Steakhouse has quickly become a staple. It didn't take long because the concept felt…read morefresh and unique for the area. I love being able to recommend a steakhouse that dry ages its own meats right here in the neighborhood. Yesterday, we were a bit pressed for time, so we ordered the lamb chops, skirt steak, and, of course, a nice bottle of wine. Everything was fantastic. The lamb chops were phenomenal, easily among the best I've had at any restaurant. They were incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. I'm usually not someone who enjoys eating the fat on meat, but the fat on these chops was rendered so beautifully that I found myself eating every bite. There wasn't a single chewy or unpleasant piece. I normally order the porterhouse or ribeye, but the skirt steak was an excellent choice when I wanted something leaner and quicker to enjoy without sacrificing flavor. The fried potato salad is another standout. It's a unique side that's absolutely worth ordering. And then there's the peppercorn sauce served with the lamb chops. It's a total mic drop. I honestly can't put into words how good it is. I found myself dipping everything in it (even my fingers ). It's that delicious! Fiorentina continues to impress every time we visit, and it's become one of my favorite places to recommend for a great steak dinner.
