    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!

VPho easily holds its own against some of the top…read morespots in Orange County, CA and even local places in Vietnam--this is a spot that's built to last in the Bronx for years to come. The staff are incredibly fun and friendly, always ready to serve up delicious, authentic Vietnamese food--or pizza, if that's what you're in the mood for. On paper, VPho is an odd mix: New York-style pizza by the slice or pie alongside flavorful Vietnamese dishes. But somehow, it works. The location still has classic pizza shop vibes but has plenty of seating for smaller groups. Prices are very reasonable, and for my Pelham Parkway locals, here's a solid move--grab some bánh mì to go on your way to a Yankees game. Whether you're craving a great slice or some legit Vietnamese food, this spot delivers. And don't forget to say hello to my guy Miguel, the local pizza legend.

    So, this one was a real doozy of a visit. The drinks were fair, with our order being a Goose Island…read moreIPA, Long Island iced tea, and a pomegranate martini. The service and food, on the other hand, were quite a mixed bag. We ordered a margherita pizza, pancake tacos, steak and eggs, and French toast with a side of sausage--the pizza, at least, was good. However, the "French toast" was more like an anemic panini press trying to pass as French toast. The steak and eggs comprised of a fairly well-cooked (that is, it was the right temperature) yet underseasoned steak of a relatively dubious cut, underseasoned home fries, and eggs done wrong (sunny side instead of over easy). The lattermost was the start of the problem, as I was willing to give it a shot, but found the texture off-putting. In light of this, I brought the problem to our server Adalia, who brought it to her manager Elvia. Thankfully I had someone else with me to tell me what happened: Elvia came over without addressing me on their error, silently took a look at my plate and instructed Adalia to have the kitchen put the eggs back on the fire. She takes my plate to extract the eggs, and brings them back (unsurprisingly) completely overdone, first in Elvia's hands, then in Adalia's for her to serve; we send for a refire, and they come back correct 7 minutes or so after I've already finished eating. Considering the hassle it took to get them, I couldn't trust it enough to eat, leading them to waste as well. After all was said and done, the GM Amer comes over to see how things were, and was thankfully helpful and understanding of our situation. Here's the rub: I was initially willing to overlook the steak, the home fries, and even the eggs if the error was properly ameliorated. Adalia and Amer both did very well, and I'm grateful for them for that; Elvia, on the other hand, managed to break the chain of competent customer service by directing the server to handle the problem in a way that was set up for failure (if you mess up an egg, it's an immediate refire because of how the egg cooks in the first place -- Amer also arrested to that policy) all without addressing us and taking accountability, due to negligence or whatever else. Not only that, but when sending the incorrect eggs over the second time, she couldn't even bring it to us herself--it would have been easy, seeing as she was the one that originally had them--and left Adalia and her tip to potentially take the fire if the patrons happen to be angry. Mistakes are fine--everyone makes them--but I'd describe this as cowardly more than anything else, and I take issue with that in particular from a leadership standpoint. While Amer graciously extended an invitation for a better experience next time, I can't say I'll be taking him up on the offer when their service and food are this misaligned; unfortunately, a disappointment overall.

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.
