This place has been around forever under & different management, so I had high hopes and it was fairly full in there-- but honestly, it's probably my first and last visit. The food was cold, and there were two hairs in my dad's meal. The quality definitely wasn't worth the price, and both alcoholic drinks were watered down... (how is a cognac drink watered down as soon as it touched the table?!) I also ordered the lunch special which comes with dessert ... and never got it When I told the manager about the food with the hair in it, all that was offered was an orange juice... yeah, I'm okay from here. I only appreciated ordering another drink and it being stronger.... Because I asked read more

Floridian Plaza Diner - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was a post doctor meal ordered for home delivery for my mom, sister and myself. Last week, my mom called me to order her a burger and fries and as she lives in Canarsie, the majority of diners have closed ( I grew up eating at the Arch, Seaview and Kings Plaza diner, all long gone). I researched on Yelp and ordered her a hamburger deluxe from Floridian. She was quite pleased with her meal, thus, I ordered from them again. Only, for myself, , I ordered a turkey burger deluxe. and my mom and sister had the beef burger deluxe. The meals were packed safely except for the condiments, pickles and slaw the bag was a bit wet and torn in the bottom. As you all know, I love turkey burgers and I have found the perfect turkey burger in Bay Ridge. Floridian's turkey burger patty is ginormous which is fine but the bun couldn't house the size. The burger was just okay, a bit bland for me even with the addition of ketchup, mayo and mustard. The fries were a bit soggy but the onion rings were very good. The pickles and coleslaw were excellent. There were generous amounts of condiment packets. I must add that you will get a meal that's worth the value. My sister and mom loved their burgers I'm just a bit finicky with the quality of turkey burgers I've eaten outside my Bay Ridge comfort zone. *This review is for delivery only read more

The food, the service was beyond my expectations in this classy diner. The brothy French onion soup was mouthwatering and paired well with their tasty meatloaf. I was stuffed but still enjoyed desert. read more

Service was great. Food tasty. But they have to spend the money on new menu's. Trying to change the price increases by hand isn't working. Mgr was spoken to about this. Sort of spoiled an experience for my in laws who live out of state. read more

I have never come here before, but my husband has and he enjoyed it. I was excited to go to a good diner, or any diner really, because it can be hard to find a good diner these days since many of the good ones have unfortunately closed down in South Brooklyn. We were happy that they have a good sized private parking lot. Upon walking in, the decor felt somehow elegant, but regular lol Don't know what that means, but I was comfortable :) The booths were spacious, though they had these 2 seaters that seemed pretty tight for 2 so I'm glad we didn't get one of those. They also charge a 3.99% credit card fee so it's less to use cash. Our server, Lucinda, was such a sweetheart! Our food took a little long, but when it came, it was worth the wait! My go-to diner meal is corned beef hash and eggs! I got mine well done and eggs over medium with whole wheat toast and everything was exactly how I wanted! Just perfect! We also got the Challah French toast, which wasn't my favorite (though we did take it home because we're not wasting food) and my husband got his mushroom cheese omelette as usual. He subbed the home fries for regular fries and I switched mine to curly fries. Was happy with the switch! We had a nice kid-free meal and just had some time to talk and eat some hot food! Haha maybe it was that, but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here at The Floridian! We'll definitely be back! read more

A charming diner with a classic Floridian vibe! The menu has a great mix of comfort food and regional favorites, and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and attentive, but the service was a bit slower than expected, especially during the breakfast rush. Also, the coffee could have been a little stronger. Overall, a cozy spot for a casual meal with plenty of character. I'll happily return to try more of the menu! read more

place is amazing and prices are very fair. I recommend very nice old school dinner where you get great food and the price was fair

This definitely is not the diner I remember. Everything is new and clean so that one ups all the competitors. The hostess and servers were on point with their friendly and attentive service. The breakfast food we ordered was not bad but not the best. My wife did say the coffee seemed water downed. I'll have to give this place another try. I would hate to see this diner disappear again. read more

Every neighborhood needs a good, reliable diner. The Floridian has been a generational hangout for my husband's family. Service is generally reliable and quick. It has your typical diner vibe, a huge menu, booth style seating, a display of mouthwatering desserts, etc. Whatever you order, the portions are large. Expect to take some home! I always get at least 2 meals out of my order. We usually order burgers, sandwiches or paninis. Always seasoned well, served hot. Breakfast, lunch or dinner - the Floridian has it all. Check them out if you're craving a casual diner experience. read more

The Floridian opened 3 days ago so there are some growing pains. The real question is 1. Are they good? 2. Are they overpriced? The answers are yes! Breakfast was very good. They serve the fat sausage links that everyone loves and the prices can't be beat. I ordered a big man breakfast, 3 eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and home fries. $14.95 Give them a shot. You'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

Unfortunately the food is fair and the service is slow. You cannot do anything except basic diner fare here and even with that they still managed to make it mediocre. The owner asked us after our meal how everything was and our responses ranged from decent to just okay. Sure, it was the chill period, also know as the period between lunch and dinner rushes, but that is no excuse. It all felt flung out and mostly bland in taste. There is plenty of parking which is good for those with a car. Otherwise Oasis Diner is right up the street. That diner is better than this one. read more

I was in the area visiting a friend so we said let's go to the Floridian Plaza Diner for some eats/drinks. I love diner food yes but good ones are hard to find trust me. Well I had some delicious French toast it's been many moons since I had this meal. It was very tasty with hint of cinnamon, very light not heavy. I had a bold ice coffee as I love my coffee. The diner was clean and server was excellent very accommodating to all of us. read more

The Floridian Diner is an old diner in the community and it was recently renovated. It looks nice inside and the food is good. I went twice within the last week and the service was nice as well. On my first visit I went for breakfast so I ordered the Lumber Jack breakfast which consisted of Pancakes, Eggs, Bacon, Ham and Sausage. It was vey filling and delicious. One my second visit I went during lunch. I ordered the Turkey Burger Deluxe. The burger was well done and everything was fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

We went on a Frank Sinatra night. Because of a birthday party, it was Elvis Night. I'm still mad about it. Will not go back. Serves too much food on the plate for $35 minimum. Strange way of doing business. Service was good. read more

While the service may be good, the food is absolutely awful. I ordered a chicken souvlaki platter, which the chicken should be grilled. Nope, this chicken was sauteed with peppers and onions, almost like it was a Chinese food dish! The tzatiki sauce couldn't even save it. Even the Greek salad it came with was bland and lifeless. If I never come here again, I won't be upset. read more

Welcome back to an old favorite! When I heard that the former Floridian had reopened I didn't have very high hopes.... so I was ecstatic when I was finally able to visit. FOOD Real diners are a dying breed in Brooklyn. But they're doing it right! I had a delicious breakfast staple in their large sunny dining room. Silver dollar pancakes. These little pancakes had a really nice flavor too them, without being too bread. The coffee was off the hook. SERVICE Excellent, attentive staff who seemed to appear to check on us whenever we needed thm without hovering or being intrusive. PARKING Large parking lot. No need to spend 30 minutes searching for a spot! Welcome back Floridian! We missed you! read more

Just as good as I had remembered! My family has gone to this diner for over a decade. Since the reopening, food is as good as before; we love their breakfast platters. The prices here are on par or lower than other diners within the area. The renovation of the diner was well needed! The booth area and the bathrooms are modern and clean. Have not seen the dinner area yet, so can't comment. Service can always be better, but that's a given when there are so many new faces. We will definitely go back again! I highly recommend the Fried calamari is to die for! read more

Floridian Plaza Diner - Interior decor - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First time at this new Floridian and the worst experience ever. This was the best diner that my brother and I had been going to since we were kids and it went from a five now that it was sold down to actually a 0. My brother ordered a Diet Coke and an alcoholic drink when we first came in, and the three of us dining were all brought water. Our orders were taken, and my brother's leg of lamb special included, a soup or salad, and a dessert with coffee or tea, none of which the waitress brought the one and only other time that she appeared at the table. I called the manager over , a man with a ponytail, maybe his name is Mike but I'm not sure. My brother asked him if they are out of Diet Coke and if they are out of tequila sunrise because he never got his drinks. The manager said they are out of tequila sunrise, and went to bring him his Diet Coke. He gave him options for the drink, and my brother chose one, but he never got his Father's Day drink the entire night. He told the manager that he ordered spinach with his leg of lamb and the manager said that they are all out of spinach and broccoli because we came late and I told him that we had a 5:15 dinner reservation. I consider that early for dinner so the fact that they were out of a lot of food that we couldn't get was on us! . He was telling every table with complaints not to judge because he had been busy that day. I told the manager that the waitress never brought him any soup or salad that is included with the meal, and he literally chased her into the kitchen. She looked furious. The manager brought my brother's soup. The manager came back when I was 1/4 done with my meal and asked if we want to pack our food. I then asked the lady at the front desk if they had some time limit because even a buffet has a two hour time limit and she said that they don't so then I did not understand why we were being chased out right away. The waitress never came back the entire night except to bring the check and at that point we asked where the dessert and coffee is for my brother's meal and she argued that is not included when it definitely was, so she brings the cake out in a tin instead of on a plate, just another sign to get the H out of the restaurant. I told her to her face that this was the worst service ever. Even the manager has a foul mouth and you can hear him saying the MF words. Also, beware when you get the bill because there is additional charge which I actually thought for a minute it was a credit that we were giving for compensation for the horrible service, but it was an extra charge for using a credit card, which we were not going to do. Then, if you look down at the very bottom of the receipt, which there would be no reason for anyone to do, you will see that there is a cheaper price for paying cash. read more

Food is... ok, just another diner food. Service is the problem. The waiters are so sloppy, like they don't want to work and too of that, after they serve your food never come to ask if everything is ok, if you need anything else. Omg! Had to wait 15 minutes for my bill after asking for it. Ambiance is ok, even though they renovated not long ago, not the greatest. Rather go to the other diner across the street (not mentioning any names). read more

Great service. But the food is mid. Went for breakfast with 2 others and spent $126.00. I have no problem paying for food. But none of us finished even half our plates. read more

literally this place is terrible. the food is sometimes actually reused. they take old fries from previous plates that haven't been finished. why did my fries already have some like dry ketchup on it??!!! the service is worse. they're so rude. one of the waiters was staring at us the whole time. and every time, they BEG for a tip. no joke. The scenery is really cute in my opinion. it's old fashioned and the music is so nice. overall 1/5 read more

Since reopening under new ownership the quality of some foods has decreased. Especially their breakfast- tasteless ketchup, a lower quality corned beef hash that has a strange taste and the bacon that has no flavor other than the oil/fat used to cook it! The bacon & eggs shouldn't taste like the oil they use! The service is good, they do their best to seat you right away. The waiters will make sure you have water, coffee or tea while waiting for your order. The food comes out from the kitchen pretty fast. read more

Old school diner is where it's at! We are from the south and this reminds us of home. True getaway from the city vibes. Great food, quiet, and phenomenal customer service (shout out to Jasmine our server for always making us feel welcomed).

I was bummed to find the pandemic had claimed the lovely old Floridian diner, but was excited when I recently drove past and saw it had returned. Inside the place has been spiffed up; it's clean and bright. The menu still has every dish known to man and the prices, despite inflation, still seem on the reasonable side. But that's where my memories collided with cold reality. Our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a turkey club sandwich and my wife ordered a salad with grilled chicken. Remember the wonderful sliced roast turkey that's a staple of Brooklyn diners? Forget it; at the Floridian, it's now the pressed lunchmeat variety. Want bacon on that club? That'll be extra. Really? My wife's salad had a nice piece of grilled chicken on top, but I can only describe the the portion of greens as stingy. They still bring the complimentary coleslaw and pickles, and the fries that accompanied my sandwich were hot and crisp, but we both left in full agreement we won't be back. read more

Hadn't been here in years. Came back to NY for a visit and went back to the old diner me and my family used to attend often. The place was remodeled and looks great. The food was the same as before.

A ruined evening. That is how I would define our time at The Floridian Plaza diner. My wife, my daughter and I were having a good evening and then we decided to eat out at The Floridian Plaza. Big mistake! After we were seated, our daughter tried to order a gluten free burger but they had no gluten free buns or bread even though the menu showed a wide array of gluten-free options. She then asked for a simple grilled chicken with fries and they said they couldn't provide that. At that point I should have told them we were leaving but I didn't want to make the night worse. Finally, she settled for wings that had no breading, that was really an appetizer, that she had as a dinner. It took a good while for our food to arrive and when it did they brought my burger and fries with a hair on the fries and burger. I sent it back and got a replacement. My wife and daughter had already started eating so we stayed. I had ordered a seltzer but with all of the changes for my daughter and I, the waiter forgot to bring it and I didn't notice it until half-way through dinner. They gave us the bill and I noticed that they offer a reduced price if I paid cash. So I paid cash while my wife was talking to the manager about all of the mistakes, and I noticed that they charged me the original price. I told them and they corrected it but if I hadn't looked closely, their "discount" would have been lost. Unbelievable! Atmosphere: poor; Food: poor; Service: poor. All-in-all not a place I would recommend. read more

They charge you a different price ($1.00 more) than what shows on the menu. It also said free delivery which is false. They charge $1.49 and then on top of that they charge an additional $6+ for service fee. This is highway robbery and they are not being totally transparent. I will never order from here again. read more

Always passed by this diner so I finally gave it a try. The diner is bigger than I thought. There are booths and tables. We chose the table. The staff is very friendly.
