Firstly and I consider this very important the man who runs this place is the nicest person. He greets you warmly and works hard to ensure you get what you want. His service stands out. Now for the food which is quite delicious. The ingredients are good and the dishes are well cooked. My wife and I typically get breakfast there. She loved the spinach and feta omelette. The fact that it is offered with rye toast is a delicious addition. I've tried the pancakes which are light, fluffy and tasty. I've also had the Italian omelette with the rye toast of course. It was delicious and fresh tasting. I highly recommend this place, anyone who treats his customers as warmly as this man does while serving good food deserves a lot of business. read more

I've never felt more disrespected or disappointed in a diner. While working in the neighborhood, I visited this diner because a coworker recommended it. Initially, the prices seemed fair, and the owner appeared friendly and accommodating. However, I soon noticed something off. When my breakfast was served, items I hadn't ordered were included, and the owner insisted I take them, causing my bill to rise significantly. I didn't say anything and just paid. The next day, it happened again, and when I questioned him about the high bill, he insulted me, saying I ate too much. I had thought he was nice, but this showed a different side of him. Despite being a hardworking and respectful customer, I felt unwelcome. On my last visit, the owner was unfriendly from the start. He complained about my indecisiveness, even embarrassing me in front of other customers by saying if I found the prices too high, I could go elsewhere. This negative experience overshadowed what could have been a great diner, and I won't be returning. read more

Me and my siblings went to this restaurant for the first time and we didn't have enough to pay for each of us and they made it cheaper and gave us a little more potions for us. Thank you - Alex read more

Typical diner food. It comes out blazing fast and the waiter responded to our needs. I got a pastrami hero with Swiss and mustard that was solid. Kiddos had fries and medallion pancakes. Reasonable prices and okay quality but speed is the name of the game which as a father of 3 is meaningful for me since my children are not patient. read more

Re-doing this because my review double posted. My kids and I came here because it was close to our Airbnb that we stayed at while visiting NYC. As we walked in, we saw the cute little picture from a kid and I knew we had found a gem in this nondescript little place. My oldest son wanted sweet tea, which was not on the menu. The guy who took our order (we assumed he was Gus or the owner of the restaurant) said he had just made a fresh batch of tea and he would add sugar to it. He did that when he didn't need to because there were sugar packets on the table that we easily could have used. The service was exceptional. My youngest ordered french toast and was filled up (a 14 year old boy!). I ordered the tomato and feta omelette and home fries. Added in some onions and it was so hearty and delicious. My daughter couldn't finish her big fluffy pancakes! All in all, we loved this place and came back a second time to eat right before we left NYC for home. If I lived here, I would eat here regularly. Definitely recommend! read more

Just went there with my 2 kids. Service was outstanding and the food was amazing. we had pancakes, omelette and challah french toast. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a solid diner. I love my food. I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon/tomato and a pastrami wrap. I can't speak to the pastrami wrap yet, but the grilled cheese was delicious. And so are the fries. They were not overly oily, they give you a great portion and lots of ketchup!! I would suggest a tiny bit of seasoning on the fries. Just even salt. But I know some people can be really picky with seasoning, which is probably why they let you add it yourself. Will return when in the area! read more

I wouldn't quite call this an American grill. I was served beverages in disposable cups and there was practically no service and nobody to see if I needed anything during my meal. The diner was cold which didn't help. The prices were reasonable though. read more

Friendly staff and crew members, good sandwiches and drinks, and the atmostphere is nice to dine in. Most of the other selections on the menu is expensive. Delivery is quick, service is great, and the place is clean/organized/interesting. Overall, positive experience. Would come again. read more

Very cozy place for a weekend brunch. When you sit in the restaurant you can hear the waitress (maybe the owner actually) talking and laughing with her regular guests. It's just traditional diner style American food so you can't go wrong with that. We ordered pancakes with bacon and two eggs with beef hash. The pancakes were really fluffy and they were so big!!! Beef hash brown was pretty tasty too. I wish they have better coffee, that's the only complaint. read more

Your typical neighborhood diner spot. Servers are friendly and accommodating. Food comes quickly and consistent. My favorite here is their corned beef hash. They cook it so that it's crispy on the edges which is my preference. Home fries are flavorful and delicious -- I always ask for well done. read more

I have been coming to this spot since it was the old school luncheonette with the 1960's era Coca Cola signs. Gus's is everything you'd want in a neighborhood diner / coffee shop. The perfect, classic breakfast with everything made just right, excellent service, warm friendly space and the definitively perfect cup of Vasillaros! read more

Ordered breakfast a few times at work with my coworkers . Fast delivery , nice menu and nice selections. Food always delicious and hot . Looking forward to trying more stuff from here read more

Food was fantastic; however... The man that was supposed to take my order was incredibly rude and talked down to me like he's high class or something. Dining experience was meh. read more

I've always loved eating at this diner. Their service is amazing. Very friendly, welcoming, & accomodating. They have recently had new management and the food is even tastier than ever. They are all so very attentive. My coffee gets topped off without me having to hunt down anyone-that's amazing service. My daughter and all her school friends come here after school and the prices are very reasonable. Additionally, I have come to learn that they actually deliver all the way up to Bay 31st. Wonderful place for Sunday morning breakfast with the family. Truly first class service. read more

Great diner located very close to where I work so my secretary often runs out for us and grabs us some hot food to shove down our throats while we are dealing with the ongoing sagas of middle schoolers and "grilling" of our high schoolers. Oy. Tweens and teens are so much fun!!! I love the Greek omelette and home fries!! Perfect amount of feta and veggie ratio to the eggs. The home fries are well seasoned with onions and peppers. Yum!! I saw a colleague eating a wrap, and I think next time I may have to try one. The convenience, the swiftness, and the accuracy of our orders will make me a life time customer!! read more

I really wanted to like this neighborhood diner. The interior is pretty nice and the staff are all very friendly. But when it comes to food, the ingredients are mediocre and the food is plain. There are many places serving similar food, but the price point of the menu items is too high for the quality of food that is served. read more

Gus' American Grill was super awesome and quite affordable. Great vibes and ambience. Every single thing in the menu looked incredible, but I had to go with French Toast, it was a great meal. I really liked the service as well, they are very polite and attentive. I'm certainly visiting here soon. read more

Stopped by for a wrap as I was in the area in the morning. Average sized typical dinner-ish interior but it is a very lively place if that makes any sense. I had Gyro Wrap which was pretty decent, and fries were good. Food serving time was quite fast if you cannot wait for your food for too long. Friendly folks as well. Would recommend for a casual American brunch/lunch spot if you are around. Make sure you have cash, as it takes cash only. read more

Food is good fast delivery and everything you order comes nothing missing like these other diners do my weekend spot

Never had a pastrami omelette before, and wasn't disappointed. Been here twice and they deliver every time. Good customer service, always attentive when we were low on coffee. Good location right by the train and opened at 7 when I needed it, so it was easy to grab a bite before I went on with the rest of my day. read more

Wow, Gus' American Grill was simply exceptional. Clean, vibe is cool. Pretty much every menu item that we ordered was very fresh and flavorful. Professional and helpful staff. Definitely will be back. read more

Quaint little spot for good challah French toast and hard fried steak fries. Burgers are good too. Service is kind and quick. There isn't a lot but the basics to the menu, def a local joint. read more

Went with a group of 8 people to go for breakfast. Wasn't disappointed at all from the moment we went in. We were served coffee very quickly with great service. And our food came quick after. Very price efficient and delicious food. Will go back soon read more

Used to like going here but I stopped going after I was told can't sit at a table by myself must sit at counter. Table for two or more people. Went back recently for breakfast and figured I'd give it another try and was told to pay for more coffee after the second refill. All the other diners that I frequent give free coffee refills. Will definitely not be going back read more

The hubby and I decided to come here for some breakfast. First time there and I gotta say it was pretty good. The pancakes are so fluffy and not thick or heavy, the turkey bacon was good, French toast also tasty, eggs nice and soft and the most importantly the COFFEE, it was very good. Quick service. Not bad, definitely a cool place to get some breakfast on a Sunday. read more

I got the French toast with bacon with a side of home fries and my wife got the phili cheese omelet. Both were terrible but at least we were able to take a few bites off the omelet. My French toast was burnt to a crisp and had a nasty after taste resembling cooking oil. The bacon well t wasn't bacon. It was somehow flat, without taste and had the texture of rubber. The home fries were bland and also lacked any taste. The omelet was pretty bad too, and the French fries were clearly frozen and unseasoned. They served my coffee in a paper cup and all of their juices are kid sized bottles. The waitress seemed nice, the only redeeming quality of the restaurant. read more

Great hidden gem in Brooklyn. This place is a real old school dive breakfast place. The food is delicious and cooked and ready to eat quickly. We ate at the counter and watched them cook our breakfast in under 5 minutes. I had my usual, three eggs over easy with a toasted English muffin and some hash browns. Delicious and breakfast for two was $15 read more

I usually come here for breakfast or lunch. It's inexpensive and chill! Great place to go to for some good coffee and food. I love their breakfast menu--eggs and sausage are so yummy. I would just say that their home fries are just meh but otherwise, amazing! Their sandwiches and burgers are not bad at all as well. I actually like to dine here with my parents because they like coming here too. We recently became somewhat a little too obsessed and have been coming here two days in a row. The staffs are super friendly and it's such a great neighborhood place to go to! Food is always timely and hot as well. I never had any problems here. Highly recommend this! Inexpensive and amazing. read more

Wow, Gus' American Grill is definitely rather darn cool. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering its location.

Awesome service and staff. Would 10/10 recommend and will certainly be back soon. read more

I mainly come here for brunch and I can say that I am never disappointed. For the price, the food is great and the atmosphere is comforting. There isn't much to write about the menu as it has a lot of the same foods as the other diners around here. But the quality is definitely higher than some. If you're looking for a nice little brunch place with decent food and decent price, I would go here. read more

Honestly don't know how this place has 4 stars. They don't have good ham. They gave me sandwich ham. The kind that you buy in a package at the grocery store. I have NEVER had a worse latte. No one greeted us when we walked in and it was just a bad dining experience overall. read more

Typical breakfast diner nothing stand outish about this place. Plenty parking. It's a decent spot to come to in the morning to read the paper and watch a day time talk show (that's what they have playing). I chose this place over plenty other spots because from the pictures I've seen it looks like I can make my own order like order a combo that isn't on the menu. We get here, sit where we want. We were attended to immediately. I hate that in a lot of places the waitress/waiter doesn't seem to know the term "the customer is always right" especially when it comes to what they desire to eat. So I'm picking out different things from the menu to put together (spinach and feta cheese omelette, corner beef hash, and banana pancakes) it's understandable for the waitress to offer a more coat friendly option but don't disregard my entire decision. The mid 50 year old lady says "you're gonna eat all of that?!" Ok clearly that means the portions are pretty substantial.. I ask "is there a way I can get what I want through any of your combos?" She tells me about the hungry man special which comes with 2 eggs any style, 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage and ham.. I say "cool so I'll take those "any style eggs" as a feta cheese and spinach omelette and those pancakes I'd like them to be banana pancakes and I'll pass on the bacon, sausage, ham and take corned beef hash instead" she tells me the pancakes will be an extra dollar and the eggs would be an extra dollar for the cheese and another for the spinach I proceed to say.. I don't care about the price it will still come out cheaper than ordering them separate. Apparently my carelessness bothered her and she kept suggesting me just take everything plain. It was almost like she felt like if she wouldn't pay that much for the food she's not gonna let anyone else do it lol. Anyway I ended up just ordering what I wanted separately and she still questioned me about the pancakes so I held off on the pancakes because she never did tell me the portions of each platter. I gave this place 3 stars because the food is great I'd give the food 4 if not 5 the service would've been fine if she wasn't so opinionated and the food came in a timely manner. read more

Gus' American Grill - Foods great.. spinach and feta cheese omelette with corned beef hash - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This would be a 4-5 star review, but the fact that it's 2016, and they don't accept credit cards is mind boggling. (Main reason why I seldom order from here). The food is delicious, and the portions are nice decent sizes. I've gotten delivery from here, I've never actually been in the place, I have passed it and it does look very nice from the outside. The prices are a little high, but cheaper than the other diner that delivers to the area. Overall I am a fan of here, I just wish they accepted credit cards so I could order more. read more
