    Good Eats is a modern diner perfect for casual dining with family and friends. They have great burgers, chicken sando and the spinach pie is delicious and big as a doormat! Great salads too, which are enormous ! Check out Good Eats in Maspeth.

    Creative, advanced dishes at Good Eats are a delicious step up from traditional diners! Portions are generous & the food is always fresh. Tried the Brunch Special today: Mimosa or juice, fruit salad, coffee & the huge fluffy Blueberry Ricotta pancake special. Eggs Benedict were fantastic with a massive side of perfectly done home fries. Parking can be challenging & depending on the time there may be lines, but it's absolutely worth it!

    Good Eats Diner truly lives up to its name. I had the fried chicken entrée with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach on the side, plus a starter of chicken orzo soup. Everything hit the mark. The fried chicken was perfectly done with a light, crispy batter that wasn't too thick (a personal pet peeve of mine). The mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, and the spinach was sautéed just right with olive oil and garlic. Simple, flavorful, and delicious; just the way I love my food. The chicken orzo soup was a comforting and tasty way to start the meal. My lunch companion had the lemonade, which came in a classic malt cup and it looked freshly squeezed. It was a refreshing touch, because it is rare to see an establishment serve freshly squeezed lemonade. The ambiance is casual, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. A great spot for classic comfort food done right.

    Thankfully mom and I were sat right away during the busy Sunday lunch rush. Service was friendly and prompt. The food was very good, the serving sizes were large! I'll happily eat here again

    Went in yesterday morning for my mom's birthday breakfast. Glad we got there early and got sat down right away. The lady who greeted us sent us to a booth. We are a party of 5 ppl and the booth wasn't as big so my sister took a chair and put it at the end of the table and a waiter took it upon himself to as an extra table so we can be more comfortable. He got our coffee order. Was very attentive. The waitress ( lady that sat us at the booth) Came to take our order. My mom can have tomatoes because of the acidity and the medication she's taking it's a bad mix for her. She got an egg white with vegetables and we specifically said no tomatoes. She didn't seem like she was paying attention to our orders and had a bad attitude honestly. The food came and surprise surprise my mom's order came with tomatoes! We didn't say anything because it would have taken another whole 30-40 minutes again to get the food out and done. I don't think we'll be coming here again. But we greatly appreciate the guy who accommodated us comfortably and came around to refill our coffee :)

    I have been going to good eats dinner for many years, everytime it's amazing. Whether you take out or are in person we have never had a bad experience. The food is always delicious, piping hot and flavorful. This place has nice size portions! This time we did take out. I got their "Ugh Huh Honey," it's a toasty butter roll with fried runny eggs, tatter tots, with hot sweet slight heat from a drizzle of hot honey. It's delicious. Our second order was their "peasant omelette," it's a large portion of fluffy eggs, sautéed veggies including potatoes. Cannot wait for our next order! It came with two pieces of toast with jelly on the side.

    This is a massive amount of coleslaw and the whole pickle tooo!  I love it here!!!

    When I'm in this neck of the woods, I make it my business to visit Good Eats Diner! Their food is dynamite and the price is right. They also have a clean restroom which is always a win for me. Thx Good Eats!

    We have been going here for years. Great breakfast platters. Huge portions. Prices are in the $$ range. Great diner food but with a creative twist. We order different things but our favorites include corned beef hash, French toast with sausage, turkey blue, and the burgers! What I do not agree with is their practice of adding $1-$2 on every dish for home delivery. Prices should be uniform regardless of whether you eat in or dine out. So as an example, an $8.95 platter will be $9.95 if you order for delivery.Please be aware of it. It's small but it adds up and we certainly don't live in 1991 anymore, where everything is affordable Worth a stop though!!

    This is supposed to be buffalo Mac and cheese but it's not because the order taker got it wrong.

    Edit/update: The owner Maria called me at home to personally apologize for her employee's bad behavior and promised to make it right. She was very nice and I appreciate her call. Well I just had the absolute worst experience with this place. My family and I eat dinner together every Friday night. Usually 2 times a month we will order from here. While the adults order something different occasionally my son almost ALWAYS orders the buffalo Mac & cheese. When it's not that he orders the Birdie Mac. (Notice a Mac & cheese trend?) Well my son's mom placed the order and specifically said buffalo Mac and cheese and I was sitting right next to her when she ordered it so I heard her. The order arrives and there's a plate that looks completely different from buffalo Mac and cheese. It has sour cream and chives on top of chicken and what looks like tater tots underneath. So I call to let them know they got the order wrong. Well the guy gets on the phone and he's insistent that we said buffalo chicken and tots. I told him we would not order that for my son because he always gets something with Mac and cheese in it & doesn't like sour cream or tots for that matter. So this guy gets more rude and tells me "Why would I write buffalo chicken and tots if you ordered buffalo chicken and Mac and cheese?" To which I replied, "I don't know because I was sitting right next to her when she said chicken Mac and cheese." He insists he's right says "no you're wrong" and doesn't want to rectify his mistake. I spent $74 for 3 people to eat and my son sat there looking at his plate and wouldn't touch it. $20.50 for a plate that went untouched. I'm fucking livid! This nasty rude scumbag just lost a customer forever over a $20 meal!

    I have no idea why Good Eats gets 3 1/2 stars. It makes NO sense at all. We have been here 20 or more times at least over the past few years and never had anything but a great meal. Big portions. Great taste. Good and attentive service. No long waits even when there's a line. Check out all the food photos and you will see how wonderful the plates are. And the food taste good not just looks good. We were there yesterday and sat at the counter. Attentive friendly service. Yummy eggs Benedict with regular bacon and avocado. Well done home fries with fresh peppers. It was so good and of course I took home leftovers. Hubby had his own concoction egg white omelet with one yolk, spinach, onions and turkey sausage with rye toast. They will make you whatever you want. This is a great local spot. We always find parking too.

    My sister took me to GoodEats last summer and ordered everything but the kitchen sink. She was considered a "regular" and treated with kid gloves by her favorite waitress (who was wonderful). The food was great and the portions were very large. My sister never lets me pay so although I saw the prices on the menu, my calculation skills are subpar. On this trip, however, I met up with a good friend at GoodEats and my experience was no different. We were given plenty of time to order. Our seasoned waiter, Adolfo, didn't hover and waited patiently for us to select from the expansive menu. The food was hot and fresh. The prices for the portions given were reasonable.

    I hate spending money on bad food. I got matzo ball soup and a grilled cheese cause I didn't feel great and didn't want to cook. Big mistake. The soup tastes like Campbells (which I HATE) but heavy celery flavor. I don't know if I can eat this the taste is so bad. And my grilled cheese is barely cooked

    Latte (i asked for some caramel)

    I have no idea why this place only has 3 1/2 stars. The staff is so nice and accommodating. The food portions are humongous and yummy. The atmosphere is a regular diner vibe. It's a great neighborhood spot.

    Do we need a reservation?

    No you dont but they get busy. The good thing is the wait is not too long. If you're planning to go on the weekends for brunch expect like a 16 minute wait.

    Do they take credit card?

    Yes they do!

My highs: the wagyu skirt steak with butter was charred just right, and I liked the taste of that salted caramel chocolate mousse. As a neighborhood spot, this does a perfect job of serving as a date night spot, or a place I could bring extended family, or even a place where I could bring young kids, based on the two tables near us that featured couples with their young children. I never love restaurants that serve entrees without sides, so it was really strange ordering the steak and having it NOT come with fries or a veggie on the side. Also, likely because we came in for a 9:30 reservation, service was a little too fast for my liking; our server came by a couple more times than needed to grab our dinner order, so we were essentially done at Rolo's within an hour. Next time, I'll be more explicit to slow down our order or to try and create some distance so that we don't feel a little rushed. Otherwise, great vibes and a great time. Looking forward to a return visit before I hit Nowadays the next time I'm in town!

Juicy watermelon cubes coated in chamoy, chili flakes and mint. Sweet, spicy, tangy and refreshing all at once. It's one of those dishes that sounds simple but completely delivers. The Chicken Milanesa was a solid protein forward dish. Beautifully golden and crispy with a light coleslaw on top that kept it from feeling too heavy.

And to think that we would have missed out if our server didn't suggest it... These particular naans are made different from the traditional Iones.

I would recommend this app. PORK JHOL MOMO 5/5 These pork momos were also super delicious! Comparing it to the ones I've had at another restaurant, there is no overpowering cilantro in this one! The momo itself was very juicy. The flavor of the inside and the soup was delicious. Another must-get! CHICKEN KHAJA PLATTER 4/5 My friend and I were probably the least impressed with this one.
