Definitely a local diner spot with Greek influence. Quick service, small place, gives frequent refills of coffee, and has an extensive menu. Honestly no complaints, was able to share everything amongst four people. Omelette is hearty, pancakes are classic, but loved their gyro platter and chicken souvlaki. Would love to come back and try out their donuts and rest of their menu. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The space is pretty narrow, but charming. The servers and chefs were incredibly personable and kind! They frequently checked on us and refilled our coffees. As for the food, it was your typical breakfast diner food with some Greek specialities. It was nothing special, but generous portion sizes. read more

My favorite Sunday Diner to-go spot! They never let me down with the best French Toast Deluxe breakfast. Not to mention their Hot Pastrami and Texas Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño fries that I just started ordering recently. Even their staff is always so happy, warm, and welcoming! Recently, I was a bit bummed that the Buffalo Wings I ordered were not the saucy kind that I like. Matter of fact, not saucy at all just breaded. But! I still give 5-stars because there's so many good options and pros about this place. Definitely recommend! P.S. thanks for the complimentary donuts for each of my visits! read more

Delight Diner & Donuts - Buffalo Wings & Texas Cheese Fries - Donuts Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I woke up this morning feeling a bit under the weather, so after i realized that I needed to feed myself despite having no groceries and knowing i would not be grocery shopping today, I knew wanted a comforting meal. Immediately my mind went to wanting the classic breakfast spread of my childhood: pancakes, eggs, and sausage. I never order delivery anywhere because it's 1. always so expensive and 2. provides disappointing results (cold food, soggy food, etc). Despite this I knew I didn't have it in me to go get something in person so I decided today would be the day to take the delivery gamble. I walk by Delight Diner all the time so when i realized this was the type of food i wanted i quickly checked yelp and their site to see if I could order from them. My search confirmed it possible so I went ahead and placed my order. I ordered the pancakes with eggs and sausage, along with french fries (weird combo? but hey it's what sounded good). I also knew they sold donuts but it wasn't an option for to order for delivery online, so I ordered one of the pastries and left a note to see if i could have a donut instead. Now, before I continue, the order was relatively expensive, but to anyone who has ordered delivery knows this is always a given. (between the price markups in the delivery apps, plus the service fees, taxes, and delivery fee or tip, there's no way around this reality so this is not a fault of the restaurant at all, especially in today's economy). The food arrived approximately 30 minutes later, just as predicted. Upon unboxing I was pleased to feel the warmth of all the food radiating through the boxes. Everything was adequately warm and fresh. It was also a great surprise to find that per my request not only did they provide me a donut, they actually gave me two donuts and a free piece of cake! Great customer service. The food hit the spot and scratched the exact itch that i needed scratched. The pancakes were warm, thick, fluffy, and were a great portion size (3 large pancakes). The sausage was also great. 2 thick links sliced in half and griddled to crisp but juicy perfection. The french fries were still crispy, which is extremely rare when having fried food delivered. The cake appeared to be a Napoleon (mille feuille) style cake and it was incredible, along with the donuts. The food was exactly what I needed it to be - a comforting and fulfilling hug of nostalgia to nourish me on a day where I needed it most, taking me back to a simpler time in life. The customer service and extra goodies took the experience to a new level and made me feel even more cared for. Delight Diner will from now on without a doubt be my go to neighborhood diner when i'm looking for a meal that feels like it was cooked by family. I look forward to getting to try them in person in the future, and I also wouldn't hesitate to order delivery from them again (as rare as an occasion as that is for me). Please support this local diner! I hope your experience provides to you the same happiness that it provided me today :) read more

Food was terrible, service was disgusting, my husband pastrami sandwich was hard to eat, hard and fatty, the server never asked him if he wanted something else, we had to get up and get our check, we were charged for the pastrami sandwich, the people that works there do not care , never again, the ambiance looked run down. read more

I have been in this area for training for about a week now. The staff always greets you with a smile and the food is freshly made to order. I got the pancakes and sausage with seltzer water. My food came off the griddle in about 8 mins. I love the service here and would recommend anyone to come and have some comfort food or breakfast for dinner. read more

This is a Quick and Delicious Diner and a Ridgewood staple! Super Friendly and Clean!

What a cute little diner we discovered!! The nice man running the joint is such a joy. Great spot to get a 2am feed in!!

Often when I am working in Ridgewood, I skip breakfast. I stumbled upon this little diner while walking down Fresh pond Road. Ridgewood is a historical neighborhood that is home to many different nationalities. Each block is lined with different restaurants from Polish, Greek, Italian to Mexican. A literal melting pot of cuisine. Delight dishes out ol school diner grub. This is a no frills classic diner. I was ready for lunch and it was after 11. I decided on the falafel on pita, however, I was informed they were out of ingredients for the falafel. I then decided on the Cuban sandwich. Ham, mustard, Swiss cheese, lots of pickles on a toasted hero. The ham was good but I just didn't enjoy the sandwich. The bread didn't seem too fresh. Nothing special. I assume this used to be a donut shop many decades ago. It's advertised that there are donuts sold by the box. There were no donuts on display. Many patrons were filing in for coffee and Breakfast platters. I assume Breakfast is cheap and decent here. Local police offers stopped in for their coffee breaks. All in all, I probably would go to elsewhere to dine for my dollar. read more

Delight Diner & Donuts - "Cubano" - Donuts Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

My little neighborhood diner. Nothing fancy here. Nothing spectacular. Just solid food at decent prices. I've been here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and take-out. They have their regular menu, a light menu (smaller portions, not diet), and their daily specials, where you really get a bang for the buck! We're talking entrée, sides, and soup or dessert in generous portions for anywhere between $8-13! Food has ranged from decent to good to really good. They've been pretty consistent, so I always know what I'm getting. read more

16.50 two bagels with cream cheese one with bacon. I got fucking ripped off. That's absurd for this little Rinky dink place. Not to mention they gave me an old bagel that was in a shopping bag and I asked him are those bagels fresh? And he said yes. I said why is it coming out of a shopping bag. He said that's the way they keep them. 15 minutes later than Brett guy comes in and put a couple of boxes of heroes, Kaiser rolls and bagels on top of the counter. I said to the guy how come, I didn't get one of these bagels and you told me the other one was fresh. well the other bagel was from the day before but it's still good he said. This place is a rip off for 17 bucks. You can go elsewhere and get a solid meal never come here again. read more

Delight Diner & Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

The older man with the accent that always seems to be there was so rude, like always. First off I order a bagel and he completely cuts me off and walks away . Then I order a rice pudding because I see the trays of desserts in the front section. So I see him come back put a bag together from the back and I asked him before walking out did you put my rice pudding inside ? (Because I never seen him come scoop any) and he answers quick "yes" So I get home just to open my rice pudding and there is MOLD on it and looks disgusting . I would never go to this place again they give you all the left overs and who would want to pay for food that your getting that isn't fresh or with MOLD on it. I called and told the man and I will never spend a dollar there again . He was very rude and tried the be sneaky grabbing old cups with food and trying to cover it up. read more

I'm going to start this review by saying what Triple D isn't. It's not an after-Sunday mass diner. It's not a family dining experience. It's not a romantic little off-the-beaten-path hideaway. Delight Diner & Donuts is a utilitarian, blue color establishment adjacent to the Fresh Pond M train stop. Its purpose is to serve people quickly on their way to work or stopping for a quick nibble after a long commute home. The food at Triple D ranges from average to delightful. Breakfasts are always served fast, cheap and exactly to order. The "greasy spoon" dining reminds me of my youth when there was a short order cook joint on every corner of Brooklyn. You may notice the myriad photos of uniformed individuals wallpapering the north wall of the tiny diner. The MTA's Fresh Pond subway yard and the Fresh Pond Bus Depot are located directly behind the diner. Other major employers: the DOC Academy and DOT Collection facility are a short walk away. That explains why images of so many civil servants adorn the walls. At any given time, half the clientele is likely employed by one of these four agencies. Delight Diner & Donuts is great for fast, convenient diner fare, priced to keep you coming back for more. read more

I came here for the second or third time ever last night and had the grilled chicken panini with roasted red peppers and mozzarella. The panini consisted of pita bread grilled to a light crisp and the chicken was the most bland and flavorless slabs of chicken a person can ever come across while eating out. It was basically like gnawing on your own arm except the chicken was cooked. They could have at least seasoned it a bit. Also, whoever made my food thought that I would not notice (or care?) that they put undercooked green pepper instead of roasted red pepper in my panini. What a joke. My late guinea pigs, G-d rest their beautiful souls, could have instantly detected the difference if served up green pepper rather than their beloved red pepper. The mozzarella that accompanied this mess of an entree was, not surprisingly, the most generic and meh-inducing pile of bland white string cheese I'd experienced to date. For some reason, the panini arrived practically sitting in a small puddle of water?! This whole experience was very uninspired and a big deterrent from wanting to revisit this place again in the near (or distant) future. The waitress who served us was just as uninspired and blase as my panini was tonight. If I had to grade her effort, I'd give her a C. All in all, going forward, "Delight Diner" is more like "Forgettable Diner." Cannot heartily recommend - I'm sure you can and will find better restaurants and eateries within a 0.01 radius of this place. Stretch your legs a little farther and head to any of those other places instead of wasting your hard-earned dollars at "Delight Diner." read more

Delight Diner & Donuts - Beef Stew over Rice - Donuts Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Our favorite diner ever! The owners and people working there are super nice and friendly. The food is perfect every single time. The only complaint I could possibly have is they don't really season the food much. You can ask for them to add salt & pepper, but it's always on the table so I don't mind. Otherwise, fast service, good food, and good people. read more

Amazing breakfast Family owned so you know it's nothing mass produced. It also doesn't hurt that they love to give huge portions. Sit by the counter and chat with the funny owners and staff. read more

The souvlaki platter special was the worst plate I ever had! The meat was hard and tasted like old. Disgusting! I had one bite and had to throw the whole thing away. A platter that cost $11.50 I also ordered a sprite that came in a cup completely full of ice with hardly any soda. If they don't have cans, don't offer soda for delivery! Never again. read more

I've walked past this place several times and always noticed a few people in here and tasty looking donuts in the window, and figured I stop on in. Took about 5 minutes before somebody walked over to help. The rep standing over in the donut area was on the phone, and the other waiters were in the back. Once I walked to the back I got their attention and a lady walked over and got me the glazed donut as I requested. The glazed was nothing special. With that said if you're in the mood for a donut but duncan donuts is closer, don't make the trip. The same goes the other way. Since this place is pretty far down the block from me, I doubt i'll go again for the donuts, but i'll probably visit for the Diner half. read more

An old school eatery. Recently this business reduced its space, which made me sad. Kinda liked the tables in the back corner. The waitresses are always nice. The guys who run the place, meh. It's right next to the Fresh Pond subway station on the M line. Probably an okay place to go for breakfast. Most of its customers are local police enforcement and MTA workers from the nearby depot. read more

I'm always surprised (and selfishly delighted) that this place isn't more crowded. It's perfectly greasy diner food served in generous quantity for about as cheap as you'd want it to be. Their pancakes are the best I've had in Ridgewood thus far, and they butter and grill the roll on their egg sandwich (which is to say, they make it correctly). The owners/staff are funny and friendly, and the decor has a homey, Old New York feel to it. Great neighborhood joint! read more
