    Came in on a Saturday afternoon for dessert and seated immediately. Got the banana split with cookies and cream and pistachio ice cream and it was delicious. Real pistachios in the ice cream, rich and flavorful. Ambiance feels like a classy diner, would come back if i was in the area.

    Three buttermilk pancakes and some blueberries.

    I have never been disappointed with the service, ambiance, or food when dining here. The vibes are classic. The restaurant is clean. I personally prefer the chairs as opposed to the booths but the booths add to the charm, especially paired with the barstools and tiffany-esque lamps with their name across the shades. I've known this place for its homemade ice cream and I highly recommend the mint chocolate chip with walnuts, chocolate fudge and whipped cream. Their food is awesome too and one doesn't need to ask for salt or pepper. They don't add it because they're aware of people's preferences and dietary needs. The food is always fresh and good. They're able to accommodate different meal requests. They have a huge menu so even the pickiest of eaters can find something. They have two unisex bathrooms, which are quite large, but since there's a door to get to the other two doors, it can be a little tricky. The employees are friendly and helpful. Payments are done at the front desk after eating. They accept cash and card. Happy eats!

    Cheeseburger
    Anna L.

    3.5 Old fashioned diner and ice cream palor that has been around for over a century. Service was good but could be better. They have an extensive food and ice cream menu! We had a cheeseburger and pancakes with fresh fruit. While the pancakes looked delicious, it was served lukewarm. The butter would not melt. I wasn't fond of the batter's taste. Had much better. Tasted too floury. The burger was pretty good though. I ordered a burger that was way too big. Stick to the 6 oz. Buffalo wings and milkshake were also good.

    As a kid, would walk past this place but would not go in. The only eatery for me was White Castle. Now I can get a big boy meal. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. Now that's the ticket. The portions, as with any diner, are massive. I had a cup of New England Clam Chowder too. Unlike others I have had before, this version had less heavy cream, and I liked it that way. My only regret is no room for dessert.

    Romanian Roumanian Steak And Eggs
    Mia L.

    I was in the area passing by searching for some brunch, the signage since 1897's caught my eye, of course it's no where near my time. I decided to go in, it was interesting looking, inside looked like a 70's movie diner. I was seated with a menu real quick by the hostess, the people where very friendly. The waiter took my order right away, I ordered the Romanian steak and eggs, since I was in the mood for brunch. Steak was done perfectly as I like it medium, and the waiter was also very attentive. The place made me feel very relaxed, food was great. I do highly recommend this spot, as I will definitely be coming back.

    Banana Royale (3 scoops of ice cream that you choose, whole banana, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry) $12.95

    Came here for a simple meal with my family, and we stopped by this place. The inside looked nice and clean, and it had the usual look of a diner, which I really like. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash with Eggs over easy, and I chose the pancakes as my side. The eggs were juicy and delicious, and the Corned Beef Hash was a really good portion, with enough for me to eat about half of it there, and take the rest home to eat another day. The pancakes were fluffy, and paired with the butter and syrup, balanced my meal with something sweet alongside the savoriness of the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. The service was great, and our waitress was always smiling and checking in if we were alright, so we never had to worry about missing something. After eating our meal, we also decided to get some ice cream there, and I split a Banana Royale, which had 3 scoops of ice cream, a whole banana cut in half, whipped cream, chocolate sauce (on the side), and two cherries. The ice cream was sweet and creamy, and an amazing way to end off my meal there. Overall, I'd love to come back here again!

    Jahn's Special Omelette

    Perfect spot for spontaneous breakfast! I usually get the burger but today I wanted to try out the omelette. It was greattttt and the pancakes it came with was delicious. My boyfriend had the burger and it was also another great choice, I've had it before and it never fails. We sat at the bar and received great service :)

    Old School Ice Cream Parlor
    Michael S.

    Jahn's is a dying breed for sure! An "old school" soda/ice cream shop with the long counter seating with it's red leather swivel stools! This brings back memories for anyone that isn't.....25!! Jahn's has been around a long time, and I must say, this particular spot in Jackson Heights is quite the cool neighborhood! A lot of activity outside with the street vendors and quaint shops, but step inside to a time gone by for sure! Ice cream done well is their claim to fame and they didn't disappoint! The banana split was delicious with it's three large scoops, the bananas were fresh, but not so much that it had that "green" taste to them. The toppings were enough without having the ice cream swimming in the sauces. It reminds me of going into places like this as a kid and ordering a hot dog and fries, and of course, followed by some delicious ice cream creation!

    Love their hot fruit sundaes!!!
    Jane K.

    Everyone should come for brunch, but more importantly, for the sundaes and the milkshakes and the ice creams! They've got an entire separate menu dedicated to just the desserts! I've been coming here with my family ever since I was a little girl, then on dates as a teenager, then to treat my parents to brunch - and thru it, all of Jahn's charm and hospitality thankfully remains now that I take my son over for a meal or a sundae ever so often. I especially love how nostalgic and quaint the diner still feels. Never change Jahn's!

    Western Omelette special with a cup of terrific Chicken and Rice soup, Belgian Waffle, Bacon, and rye Toast.
    Elliott T.

    What an absolute gem of a diner. Incredible atmosphere, wonderful waitstaff, and the absolute BEST Belgian waffle I've ever had. Everything I've eaten so far (working my way through the EXTENSIVE menu) is simple and delicious. Jahn's has become a staple in my life. Love this place!

The lack of attention was infuriating, especially when they were known for great food and great service. That was in 2025... In 2026, let's see what's changed. Decided to invite my mom and sister out for lunch as I was craving a burger. Let's get this out of the way. The food was really good and tasty...pun intended. The waiter started off with taking our order and I thought to myself; oh wow they've actually stepped up their customer service. Much like my San Francisco Giants....that glimmer of hope in the beginning is always met with disappointment 10 minutes later. The waiter decided to pull a Houdini and disappear. He never approached us to ask if we were ok or needed more coffee or anything. The other waiters didn't seem too attentive to the other tables either. It wasn't overly crowded but I decided to give the guy a break. 30 mins later....nothing...no one was around. My mom said she saw the later walk out and then he came back in a few mins later and not once approached us. Finally after losing my patience I ask out loud where is the waiter??? Another waiter comes scrambling and asks what's wrong and I stated we were left alone for almost 40 mins. I needed the check and expressed my disgust; that this was the second time my family and me were treated like this. The manager had the nerve to come and say he didn't charge us for two cups of coffee. I wasn't expecting anything comped but if you're going to make that gesture then do something better. He apologized and honestly, I wasn't having it. The old Tasty's was amazing. Their old staff was perfect and it's sad to see this former Astoria staple has fallen. Prices skyrocketed and service plummeted. Won't ever comeback.

But the really beauty is that it looks like an old school diner, it's just far enough the beaten path, that it's regulars coming here. BRING CASH! My sister has wheels so I hit her up and we hit the road. We ended up grabbing lunch but I want to return for brunch. I loved the old school aesthetic from the outside and all the details on the inside. THE BETTY BOOPSSSSS are the absolute best! I could not get enough. Didn't take too long for a table, maybe 15 minutes. It's popular for those who know. We got seated in the back. Out waiter was nice but new so there was a couple miscommunications but it was all good. He was in training. Judging by the people around us, they knew what they wanted. They came over and gave us pickles for the table. My sister was not a fan, so I did not partake. The father/son duo next to us got entrees but shared pancakes and the son got a milkshake. I think next time, I need to take their lead. I got a fish filet sandwich and my sister for a tuna salad sandwich with fries. I had potato salad but her fries were better. My sandwich was yummy on a brioche role and avocado slices. I loved it. I really can't wait to return. I told everyone I know about this place! May it last for many more decades ahead!

They were delicious. Since it was later in the afternoon, I went for the classic Jackson hole 7 ounce cheeseburger serve with steak fries. One of the juiciest hamburgers I've had in quite some time. All of the servers were very attentive, checking on me and making sure my soda was filled. Definitely must stop and enjoy before diners like this fade away into history.
