This was a great and welcome addition to the neighborhood when it opened a few years ago. It has become a regular spot for me. They serve Latin American food along with classic diner fare (sometimes with a Latin American flair), and the food is always high-quality and delicious. I have nothing but faith in this kitchen, and they also take great care to accommodate my food allergies. The waiters - Chewy, Ivan, Jacob, and Jose - are consistently accommodating and charming. I think this is truly one of the best places to eat in the neighborhood, and I often bring friends here, and everyone I have introduced to this place has liked it. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent food and classic diner charm!!!!!! I had a wonderful experience at Florence Prime Diner. The food was delicious, well cooked, and served hot, with generous portions that definitely satisfied. Everything tasted fresh, and the menu had plenty of great options to choose from.

Overall, Florence Prime Diner delivers great food, welcoming service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend it and will gladly be coming back again. read more

After ordering catering for many months, I decided to actually visit their brick-and-mortar. Conveniently located on 82nd St., steps away from the 7 train, this bright and shiny "Diner "is both welcoming and stylish, with a great menu and excellent service. there is a beautiful fully stocked bar and a diner counter along with several tables. Restaurant is very clean and the bathrooms are well lit and well designed. I ordered the avocado toast, which came on a healthy piece of sourdough bread with two perfectly poached eggs and a delightful frisee salad. Coffee is also great! read more

Pricy brunch but reasonable quality and options. I had a nuts smoothie and roasted beet salad with salmon. Beet salad has flavors that go together so well, nuts was blended well with a nice smoothness and texture, and salmon was cooked well. Garlic bread was provided and very tasty. Two pieces provided but quality. I like that it is a small amount but done well so that I am not overeating carbs. Very classy. I couldn't finish the salad and took some home. Service and people are friendly. read more

Florence Prime is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys food. Honestly, if I could I would just leave that as my review. It's a five minute walk from a major transit hub (Roosevelt Ave station), less if you walk like the rest of us. It sits on a busy street that borders on chaos. And, because of that, it feels like an oasis when you walk in. The staff is attentive, the design is modern, and the food is too good for the prices. It's clean and spacious enough (considering the area) and once again I'll mention the food. Latin x diner = delicious. Get breakfast for dinner, get dinner for lunch, get whatever you want and you'll enjoy it. Tell them a stranger on Yelp sent you. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Just a solid restaurant all around. We stopped here for breakfast a few days ago and enjoyed everything except the Crispy Belgian Waffles. Maybe my standards are too high because I had the real thing, but these were not crispy or airy, more spongy. Anyway, rest of the food was good. The Sausage Egg & Cheese Roll was nicely done with two circular sausage patties, soft scrambled eggs, on a fluffy roll. Breakfast Avocado Toast was tasty, with two awesomely poached eggs, but the bread was a bit chewy and soggy, not toasty enough. Lastly, the star of the meal was the Chilaquiles Verdes, which was quite good paired with the crumbly chorizo and sunny side up eggs. read more

Love this place. Not-so-hidden gem right off the 7. Equally good for a casual snack or a special occasion. Menu has a huge selection. I've eaten here four or five times and always left satisfied. Food is well prepared, tasty, and portions are generous. Staff is uniformly welcoming and efficient. Prices reasonable for the quality. read more

Florence Prime Diner is great for the neighborhood. The location is right off the 82nd street train station on the 7 line. I've visited a few times and posting for the first. Staff is super nice and always come by to refill your water. If you need extra napkins, they got you. A big variety of food options from your typical diner menu as well as others. Portions are nice and it's clean. Typically busier on the weekend. read more

Florence Prime Diner - Roasted Beet Salad - if you like beets this is YUM! - Diners Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

This place was a very surprising find. Food was absolutely on point and prices are reasonable. We found street parking as it was Sunday and metered parking is suspended on Sundays. The decor was very fresh and green. Full service bar with plenty of draft choices. This time however we opted not to get any alcoholic beverages and stuck with water. Service was incredible, very responsive and proactive server. This place is surprisingly awesome for the area. I really enjoyed the large screen tvs and the decorations weren't too over the top. Over all, I'm very happy with this find. As for food, I'm not gonna lie, it was some of the best I've had in the area. We ordered the Cuban panini with house salad. The Cuban was perfectly cooked, so flavorful and portions were amazing. I also really enjoyed the house salad. It was an excellent salad with so many different vegetables, it had blueberries, mixed greens, beets, char roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, and some other vegetables that I wasn't able to identify but tasted so fresh and paired really well with the salad. Jen had the skirt steak sandwich and paired it with a mix of regular and sweet potato fries. We split our meals so that we can both enjoy each other's choices. It was a power move and no regrets. Both sandwiches absolutely packed with flavor and portions were very good for the price. Overall, I'm really impressed with their decor, food and service. If I'm ever back in the area absolutely will try more of the really expansive menu. Check it out you definitely won't regret it. read more

The diner looks like a hole in the wall. But once you walk in, it's really spacious and nice. The decor is very clean and upscale, without being pretentious. We were there really early for breakfast. The food was delicious. I was a little saddened by the smallness of the waffle order. It was delicious, not sure if the price was right. My husband was really happy with his omelette and the potatoes were delicious. Considering how quiet it was when we were there, I was disappointed the waiter didn't come by with more coffee or if we needed anything. I would still return, but probably have an omelette next time. read more

I come here often! Have also brought my friends and family for breakfast and dinner. The ambience is welcoming and comfortable. We love their drinks, food and specials menus. Some of the staff even recognize us and they are always so friendly, attentive and respectful. We love their drinks, especially the espresso martinis and mezcalitas. Some of my favorite orders are the chilaquiles, nachos and calamari. Thank you Florence for being the best Diner in Jackson Heights! read more

Came here during happy hour and they have so many yummy drinks during this time! It isn't the busiest of places but the food is solid. I'd highly recommend getting tacos, since I ordered ONE as an app and it was pretty filling. There was a small discrepancy with our check at the end but since we didn't get a copy, we didn't bother to fix it. I'd still come back for their HH, but would probably ask for a copy the next time. read more

Service was friendly and prompt. Lots of attention to fill your water glass. Wanted to try the roasted beet salad and it did not disappoint. The dressing was just the right amount- not overly drenched or too little. If you like beets , this one is for you. The fries with the chicken club could have been more crispy and less salty otherwise it was fine. The shrimp and linguine was tasty. Good number of shrimps. Food came out without much of a wait. The garlic bread was yummy! Nice and thick and warm. Nice option in a block with many fast food establishments. read more

Have been here a more then a few times. The front bar area is comfortable and has nice selection of beers. Nice to seat and enjoy brew and a nice freshly made pizza. They also make nice cocktails and the bar staff are all so attentive and friendly and sorry to say. Not hard on the eyes. Breakfast is also a nice fresh start of your morning Only go in afternoons. Just experience a nice fresh spot in a growing area of Elmhurst/ Jackson Heights. It's a go to place read more

Pros: + Incredible service - What restaurant changes plates and silverware between courses? + Friendly staff + Incredible food - the Huevos Rancheros were absolutely divine + Reasonably priced - I would easily pay $4-5 more per entree to come here! + Gorgeous hidden gem + Conveniently located near the train stop + Great for date nights read more

My friend suggested we meet for brunch on a Sunday at this diner. It was much nicer than a diner -- felt modern and clean. Our servers were very friendly (despite our indecision and delayed ordering due to catching up before even looking at the menus) and informed us of the daily specials. I decided to get the special burrito with bacon, chorizo, scrambled eggs, cheese and home fries. My friend got the California omelette. The food came pretty quickly. I was extremely happy with my burrito, plenty of chopped up bacon. It was huge so I ended up packing half of it to go along with some of the potatoes. Definitely would recommend giving this a place try. read more

This diner is more than a diner. The menu is not large, and that a good thing, because everything they make is so good! You can have your burger or pizza, yes I said pizza and it's very good New York City pizza. I'm from NYC you can trust me on this. But the burritos, steak sandwich, and salad, yes I said salad are to die for!!! I don't usually talk up salads but there salads are different, beets, mango, jicama. Yes I said jicama, don't be afraid it's delicious! Did I mention cocktails? There really good and you'll still have a couple dollars in your pocket when you leave. Ask for Ari, she's my favorite waitress. Tell them the film guy sent you. read more

Once again. Amazing food and service. Our 3rd time here and they always remember us and make me a fresh pot of decaf coffee. We started with pork Al pastor tacos. They are heavenly. Super fresh with little surprise bites of sweet pineapple. I had legendary eggs Benedict. With Canadian bacon and home fries with fresh peppers and onions. Spectacular. Hubby had a chicken gyro with mixed fries and he was really happy. Unfortunately parking around here is a nightmare. We really should take the subway. We'll remember next time. And there will absolutely be a next time. Thanks again. read more

I've developed a real attachment to their cooking style. They don't shortchange on portions or overcharge. The staff's kindness makes this spot special. The menu costs align with the experience. This spot operates below the radar! read more

How would I describe my experience at Florence prime diner? I walked in around 9:30 am with my family in time to order the grilled skirt steak eggs hollandaise off the brunch menu. There are a myriad of delicious brunch options. Yummy! One thing I can say is that they have friendly service. It is busy, yet worth it. I would definitely recommend it to others if you have kids or a date. It's a cute atmosphere inside! read more

I don't know why working in the area it took me so long to eat at Florence. The service is friendly and quick. I've never waited more than 15-20 minutes for my order. The food is fantastic. It's fresh and tasty. I usually stick to my go to which is a chicken Gyro and sweet potato fries. I've had their Caesar salad and other chicken sandwiches. Either way, I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order. read more

Definitely a local hidden gem that was much needed for the neighborhood. Once again I dropped the ball and took no photos but we had lunch for 3 people. When you walk in the restaurant is clean and very trendy looking. The bar looks awesome to have a meal at as well as a cocktail. Very nice selection of drinks with a tv to watch while you sit at the bar. Let's start with the food. I had the steak sandwich served with caramelized onions and an amazing chimichirri sauce! The sweet potato fries were also fresh and I believe house made. Highly recommend My friend had the chicken burrito that was enormous and delicious. Finally the meal was a breakfast platter that tasted as good as it looked. I will definitely be back read more

Very bad food .. the chef cook everything badly.they even charge extra everything lol horrible .. experience

My friend and I were in the hunt for amazing pancakes. That search brought us here and wow it did not disappoint. She got both breakfast plates and I tried it as well. Stellar. The pancakes were super fluffy and tasty. I got the skirt steak sandwich and also amazing, the steak was slightly tough/fatty but cooked perfectly and juicy. Our sever Cathy was the best. She was so sweet and helpful, attentive but not too much. The restaurant itself was so modern and clean we really liked the vibe. They had a full bar and a great menu, enough choices but not overwhelming. Debated between the 4 and 5 because of the steak but ultimately for the price and the food and great service. 5 we will definitley be back. read more

**Delivery Review** Wanted to try a new spot for Saturday late morning brunch, and this place has excellent reviews. Typical large diner selections with a large Mexican menu as well. Decided to get an order of BBQ Wings ($14). About ten slathered wings served alongside a heap of coleslaw. Sauce is fine - tangy and sweet while covering the wings completely. The chicken isn't overcooked and comes off the bone nicely. Coleslaw is an afterthought - alright in between bites of the wings. Delivery is quick and efficient, still warm and no food gone awry. Would probably order from here again. read more

Disappointed after seeing excellent reviews. We went for Sunday brunch. Food was average at best. They corrected an error with my order. Service was very good.

This is more than a diner. The establishment was spotlessly clean and had a good vibe. The staff is super friendly. Best of all the food is way better than any diner food you'll order in nyc.

Took my daughter here for breakfast after an airport drop off ... and the food was AMAZING!! My daughter has the chocolate chip pancakes. She raved about it and nearly finished the adult size serving (which is way more than normal). I had the huevos rancheros - at the recommendation of the waiter - and it was delicious. Service was terrific and decor/ambiance was adorable also. Coming back here soon ... definitely recommend! read more
