I've been here many times over the years, and stopped there right before our Winter weather decided to take a dump on us. I ordered a BLT with extra mayo, fries, coleslaw and some pickles. It was very good. The place is clean and has the sort of decor you'd expect in just about any diner type setting. Now that it's stopped snowing, I was thinking of venturing there again tomorrow for some more. Cheers!

The experience at Esquire Diner was disappointing due to how my food allergy was handled. I clearly…read moreinformed the waiter that I am allergic to tomatoes and specifically requested that none be included. My gyro platter arrived with tomatoes mixed into the salad, and although the waiter acknowledged the mistake, the solution was not handled properly. Instead of preparing a fresh salad, it appeared the tomatoes were simply removed from the original plate and the lettuce rearranged. I later found tomato seeds still in the salad, confirming cross-contamination. This raised serious concerns about food safety and trust. I hope management addresses this, as allergy precautions should be taken seriously to ensure customer safety. Ambiance was classic American diner.

I usually only stop here for a cup of coffee late at night, and even that is mostly out of…read moreconvenience. Back in high school, I'd come here once in a while for a quick bite--mainly as an excuse to get out of Rockaway. These days, besides the coffee, I mostly get the Crossbay burger with fries. I also gave the chicken and waffles a try once, and it was okay, but not something I'd come back for specifically. The diner itself is pretty average overall. The food is nothing special, and it's not really a place I'd go out of my way for. That said, I do like the atmosphere--it has that classic, laid-back diner feel, especially late at night, which is probably the best part about it. I just wish the pricing felt a little more reasonable--around $10-$20 per meal would make a lot more sense for what you're getting. One thing that really stands out (not in a good way) is the payment situation. If you're planning to eat here, only pay with cash at all costs. The service fees when using a card are higher than expected and feel unnecessary, which definitely takes away from the experience. Overall, it's okay for a quick stop, especially for coffee and a burger late at night, but between the average food, pricing, and extra fees, there are better options out there.

It's definitely a popular joint,…read moredespite the pretty massive size of the spot, there were a lot of people there on a Tuesday morning. Despite the traffic, service time didn't take a hit from it. The waitress kindly took my order and I got all of my food within 10 minutes. I had the Fried Mozzarella for a starter, Chicken Caesar Honey Wrap with waffle fries for the entree and Iced Tea because I figured dessert would be too much for both my appetite and wallet. The Fried Mozzarella pieces had a type of pull that you would expect and one I haven't seen in awhile. It was delightful in taste and texture. The Ceasar Wrap and Waffle Fries were very filling. It was very good but it felt like I over ordered on food again so I finished as much as I could. I've had a pretty good meal at a fair enough price. The place has a lot to offer so you'll find something there.

The place is charming not big but its really a fast food place not a restaurant. I tried their chicken sandwich and it was amazing!

Coffee is fantastic; their baked items are very good; prices are insane.....

I still patronize this business on special occasions and holidays like i said all their bakery items are good but for a everyday breakfast stop definitely not.... They do offer Breakfast & Lunch they have a full kitchen & menu; They do have plenty of seating; Parking out front on the boulevard it's a hit or miss; we have commercial trucks so we can't use their parking lot in the rear....
