Stopped in for dinner recently and had matzoh ball soup followed by a delicious chicken kebab platter. Service was excellent - fast and friendly. I had a ton of work to do.....I had my computer with me and sat there for hours. They were very patient and kind to let me sit and work long after I had finished my meal. (There wasn't a line for tables so they didn't need to turn my table over). Excellent diner food. Menu is extensive! read more

This is the ultimate New York diner experience. It's the real deal for any out-of-towners. Yes, you're gonna' get a little sass with your fries, but this is Yonkers! The coffee was forever flowing, the pancakes were fluffy and hot and the bacon was crispy. Oh and the eggs were cooked to perfection. If you need to get in-and-out, they're on the ball. If you want to stay and schmooze, that's fine too. Good people. Good food. read more

Grassy Sprain Diner - Buttermilk Pancakes with 2 Eggs on Top Lumberjack - Diners Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Was urgently trying to buy a car battery at Napa so fought rush hour traffic even tho I was starving, only to get there and see a sign on the door "closed internet down" ugh! Was craving a chef salad so did a yelp search with the "distance" filter. This place was walking distance from Napa, but of course I drove! Ended up ordering from door dash because I wanted to verify what was in the salad. Immediately ordered for pickup. It was a little pricey - $19 - but it was HUGE! I only could eat 1/4 of it, so that's like four meals for $5 each!! Also, it was ready before I could even park. This used to be another restaurant, maybe even an iHop or Friendly's(?) but they renovated it and it's super cute! I have to go back to Napa tomorrow, of course, so will prob go back for breakfast and eat in! Plenty of parking and in the same lot with other things u might need like Staples, dry cleaner, hair salon, mom&pop specially pharmacy... One tip: if u get the chef salad, ask for extra lettuce & veg. There's TONs of meat cheese not complaining about it but I'm prob gonna have to get some lettuce at the grocery store. And also fyi the black olives are kalamata, not the pitted sliced kind I was expecting. So ask about that if that matters to u read more

Grassy Sprain Diner - This is AFTER eating 1/4 of it! - Diners Near Me - Yonkers, New York

As good as a diner gets! It is so rare when you ask for "soft" eggs they come that way. The waitress was really amusing and attentive. We will go back when we are in the area. read more

Food too expensive for terrible food!! Service is mediocre. I stopped going there for the above reasons. Decided to give it another try. I had Greek orzo lemon soup. It was the worst soup I ever had. It had the texture of oatmeal. I took one sip of the coffee and left it. It was terrible!! Definitely won't be back again! read more

First, the menu is ginormous. It seems as if everything is possible here or just about. Second, the matzo ball soup is simply outstanding and I'm picky about my matzo ball soup. Third, you can't go wrong with the homemade desserts--their chocolate cake and lemon meringue pie are noteworthy. Fourth, there's sufficient, free parking and that's not always easy in congested Yonkers. I think their lunch and dinner options are superior to breakfast. I'm not fond of the coffee, sorry. A solid place to eat and a true diner through and through. read more

I needed food fast cause I care for a disabled person and dont have a car today. Usually, I go to Bronxville but figured I would use something closer to get a meal within a reasonable time. Being 1 mile away the app says its like a 20 minute wait time from door to door for a breakfast meal so I ordered it. It turns out the grub hub app states they cant track the delivery because the restaurant uses its own drivers. My wait time was 60 minutes (15 food 45 delivery) and I am writing this review sitting next to a plate of cold eggs and homefries. Never order delivery from this place, its awful and not my first experience. I'm done and going back to Bronxville which is far superior. read more

My dad and I go to Grassy Sprain Diner a few times a week. It's a very friendly diner with an extensive menu, good food, and fair prices. The waiters and waitresses are attentive and very nice. The parking lot is large with free parking. It's easy to find a parking spot. This is definitely a nice, casual, friendly spot to grab a bite to eat. read more

I've been eating here for several years both dine in and order out. Today is the first time I've had an issue. The omelet and home fries were fine. It's the toast I had an issue with. It was beyond burnt, hard as a rock and totally inedible. I'm surprised I didn't break a tooth trying to bite into it read more

I have celiac disease and always mention I need gluten free. The person taking the order shook his head and said no I asked if they could do eggs gluten free and got the same response. We declined to order food. They charged us for the coffee and tea . No customer service at all. Avoid. read more

My absolute favorite diner in the area! I've been coming here with my family for quite a long time and always enjoy the experience. The food is always delicious, fast and the employees are friendly. I recently ordered take out and I was pleased to see that the service and quality of food have not suffered in these hard times. The order was ready quickly (like always) and the food was just delicious. I had a Tex Mex wrap on a gluten free wrap. The wrap comes with fries and the wrap itself is huge. I'm never hungry after having meal from this diner. I also love to get the Italian AM wrap on the rare occasion that I need to order breakfast. It's super delicious every time and is a great start to my day! read more

Grassy Sprain Diner - Tex Mex Wrap on gluten free wrap - Diners Near Me - Yonkers, New York

My experience here started out decent. The parking lot is a little hectic, but I was seated after a brief wait. It was packed.. 11 AM Sunday morning. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and the waitress instead brought me eggs Florentine. Whatever, they made the correction and things were ok. The portion size of the home fries was disappointing, and the coffee here (contrary to what their menu says) is certainly not world famous. I also noticed one of the hostesses barking orders at the wait staff. I couldn't tell if this was a joke or not but it still seemed awkward. Unlikely that I'll return, but maybe one day I'll give it another shot. read more

The staff here are incredible! I walked in and ordered take out. They were so friendly and helpful. Every customer who walked in was greeted and given their drink of choice while looking at menu. The Belgian waffles were delicious. They even gave us whipped cream for the strawberries. Scrambled eggs were hot and done perfectly too. I was impressed by quick turnaround time for my order. read more

First and only visit so far. It is a converted Friendly's & I could still remember the seating arrangement, which did not change much. Host steered us away from a booth in the back near the bathroom; much appreciated. Perfectly cooked medium rare patty melt. French fries are not automatically included as in other diners. Service was attentive and prices were reasonable. 4 stars could become 5 stars if breakfast is great. read more

Grassy Sprain Diner - Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Average diner with a good rep. I've been wanting to try this place for years, but have never gotten the chance until more recently. I've always heard great things about this place and even once in a while see one of their low budget commercials on TV. I finally got a chance to try it out. They're ok - but nothing overly special either. The diner is located in a mini shopping plaza. There's ample parking, but at times it could be a little congested. It shares the space with a few other businesses, including Staples. Inside is ok. There's plenty of seating and I would imagine at busier times it may be difficult to find a spot. It's larger inside than it looks perhaps from the outside, but not overly large at the same time. It has a comfortable vibe/feel. The menu is about what you'd expect from any typical diner. What I don't agree with is that the "specials" are priced differently than their identical selection in the main menu - and from what I saw, the "specials" are actually priced slightly more than the exact same selection in the menu. Kinda weird. I ordered the "lumberjack" breakfast. The selection for this was limiting - you can choose between either french toast or pancakes, which is fine - but you can only have one of either sausage, bacon, or ham. The dish also comes with eggs made the way you want. This has to be the weakest "lumberjack" I've ever had - and I've had it at least two different businesses. In fact, Denny's "lumberjack" gives you all 3 meats, toast, and homefries as well for about the same price and pretty much taste. So maybe their version of a "lumberjack" is skimpy - but either way, I won't be ordering that again if I ever return as I'll take Denny's and their all-around superior "lumberjack". The food was diner average and tasted fine. No complaints about the taste really. I wasn't a fan of the waitress. I'm not sure if she had a bad day and decided to bring it in to work or is naturally unfriendly with a nasty vibe. I was friendly to her as I usually am, so I know it was myself or my companion. If I ever decide to return here, I can only hope she has the day off as I don't want to deal with her again. So all in all a decent diner, but it's not a standout as some claim either. It's certainly not the best in Westchester or even just Yonkers. To me, this place is really no different than most other diners from selection, to pricing, to atmosphere. The only difference is that other diners have at least friendlier waitresses. Maybe I'll try them again, but I won't lose any sleep if I don't. read more

Best diner around. Totally underrated. Clean. The food is really good. You know a diner is good when they make their own home-made tuna fish and egg salad and not just take it out of a bucket like most diners. Never had a bad meal here. read more

Lovely service and the food was delicious!. I enjoyed the great customer service from both the workers and the owner. It appeared to be a family orientated small business. read more

Salad was great, nice easy place to stop for lunch. This place deserves better Yelp rating than it has.

Food was not good. We ate a Cuban sandwich, terrible! Chipotle chicken wrap- bland and there was a weird taste. Would not recommend this diner. read more

I had a thanksgiving wrap, it was old tasting, the paper wrap around it was molded into the bread it was difficult to peel off. The turkey had an old refrigerator taste. My spouse had a roast beef & cheese sandwich it was pronounced okay. The waitress was warm and friendly, she would have replaced my wrap but my stomach was totally revolted. The ambiance was diner but on this rainy, blustery day they had the door wide open. My seat got full blast from the door. We will not be going back. read more

Oooh oooo, Grassy Sprain! I've been patronizing your physical restaurant BEFORE it was even Grassy Sprain being Friendlys. Having detoured off the highway, I thought I'd stop in for a basic order: Greek salad, my usual coffee, and the "usual" large chocolate chip Saran wrapped cookie at the register. Coffee was delicious, as usual, en route home. Upon hearing it up, found a black floating "dot". Picking it out: delicate WINGS and a round body mimicking a FLY! Needless to say, it was poured down the drain. The salad has many pieces of unfresh lettuce cuttings(discarded). Dressing pinkish never tried before but tasted with caution. Overall, it's "okay" Now the wanted cookie: dry, crumbly without much of any flavor. Touched it and was instant crumbs ??old?? NOT trying to pull you guys apart bc like I said I always LOVED(past tense)stopping here as I always found it to be a "treat" --- NOT today! Unsure when will be the NEXT time to freely place trust in receiving food from here. Sorry to have written this, but need to establish awareness for other customers. New Management and/or low influx of foot traffic?? read more

ate there today with my cousin for the 1st time service was great food was great will be back our waitress tina was wonderful and helpful the atmosphere there is friendly and welcoming sorry no pics maybe next time read more

This 2 star review is generous. My wife and I ordered breakfast today. I ordered 2 poached eggs, well done corn beef hash and well done home fries. I received 2 fried eggs, corn beef hash and barely done potatoes. Food tastes fine. Just not what we ordered. Don't call in orders folks - I highly doubt it will come to you correctly. read more

We were staying next door at the Hampton Inn for a few days and decided to skip the generic hotel breakfast one morning and try this diner. Was indeed a good choice. I had the breakfast quesadilla and my wife had the challah french toast, both solid choices. We returned the next day for lunch and I had the thanksgiving wrap and my wife had the corned beef sandwich, and once again, solid choices. Lightning fast prep by the kitchen during both visits, and our server Martha (both visits) was friendly, efficient, and funny. read more
