Battered fish fry
Rebecca D.

Typical diner... quick service but only ok food. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting out for HOURS. The battered fish fry seemed to be cooked a little too "well done" for our liking. The crab meat filling on the broiled haddock was very spicy and did not like it... the coleslaw also had relish in it which was absolutely repulsive, and the tartar tasted straight from a can. Only plus was our server was very sweet. Will not be back.

This quintessential diner is a remnant of a disappearing past. For almost 100 years, weary travelers, and Town folks have been coming to this establishment for food and camaraderie. The waitresses know the customers and many customers know each other. Plenty of regulars at the Miss Batavia diner. Also first timers and occasional travelers like my wife and me who make it in maybe once or twice a year when we pass through Genesee County to or from another destination. The waitresses are wonderful, truly friendly and authentically looking to please. The menu is diverse enough, and the food is good. The coffee cups never reach empty. The place has gotten significantly more expensive in the last seven or eight years. Dinner for two used to cost about $25. Dinner tonight with Tip cost us $50. Private parking lot in the back. And they decorate for all the holidays, including Halloween. They are open for business until 9:00 PM every night, and they serve breakfast selections during all hours.

Family breakfast time!!!!

Another fantastic Batavia eats spot that never once disappointed. Great food, great prices, amazing people, an easy choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner whenever you are in Batavia.

Lemon Brolied Scallops with Sweet Potato fries

Driving back from Sonneburg Gardens, my mom and I dediced to take the scenic; non thurway route back and stopped at this no-frills diner. This diner as you walked in the front entrance; took you back into the 50s with style of a juke box, along with older style tables. The restaurant had silver x's on the tables to indicate for proper 6 ft social distancing on where not to sit. The tables , chairs or booth seats were cleaned in between customers. The staff were extremly friendly, kinda reminded me of " Cheers", as some of the regulars chatted away with each other and the waitresses. The owners were present in the restaurant and supberb overall of service provided. The menu offered a wide selection for any customers stomach. Breakfast was offered all day, lunch, and dinner. My mom and I both ended up ordering brolied scallops, choice of potato, soup or salad. Be sure to check this place out if your driving through Batavia.

Garbage plate

Very cute old fashioned diner, (love the tables) and very clean! Our server was awesome too. A great menu with so many choices. I had to try the garbage plate which was very good but so much food! Everything was good and I plan to come back. Heard their fried chicken was delicious!

Chicken fried steak special
Marissa N.

All covid precautions were taken during this dine in experience. The waitress was kind and attentive. I've never had a country fried steak so I opted for one of their specials and it didn't disappoint. The steak was pounded tender and had a good mix of moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. The sausage gravy on top was also delicious. My over easy eggs were perfectly done.

Stopped by Miss Batavia's for breakfast as I drove through the area. The food and service were both good. The menu was typical diner food. I didn't really see anything on the menu that was a must get, however I was satisfied with my meal and experience.

Garbage plate
Mendel B.

Service was really good and caring. Food 2as much better than I expected except for the fries being on the same plate as my garbage plate. I know it's silly but I like my fries separate lol. The wife loved her food. Very filling and worth the money. We will definitely go again. :-)

Mashed potatoes were instant but the hot turkey sandwich was good. We like it for breakfast better than any other meal.

My sister and I took our mom out to dinner and picked this spot since it's closer to her than us…read more None of us had been before, so we were going in blind. When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when this restaurant was opened by "Alex" and it was…read morefantastic. I knew Alex by mutual acquaintance and growing up in the same small town. He was a professional restaurateur who was paid to sit with celebrities at the posh places he worked in South Florida in the 70s. Whatever else is said, the man had high standards in food and dining experience. When he opened, and for years after the place was always packed and very popular. The food was high quality and your meal came with 2 sides, salad, hot bread and nice presentation at a reasonable price. Alex left the business several years ago and the current owner has run it for some time. Today was my first time back in several years. The outside looks dated and needs a refresh. I almost thought it was closed. It was 2:30pm on Saturday before Mother's Day and almost empty. I don't recall it ever not being full of people waiting at the bar for a table. Until today. The decor is ok although I don't care for the fringe lamps directly over your head. I was going to get ribs but decided on 10 oz prime rib ($32.00) comes with 1 side (I chose baked potato - only sour cream and butter is offered). No salad unless you pay extra! The warm bread was fine with two kinds of butter. My companion had the Kids spaghetti $(8.99). My prime rib came out and it looked about half the normal thickness it should be and in a puddle of juice. Even the server commented about why the kitchen did that. And it was warm, at best. No horseradish or other condiments were offered. No garnish on the plate. Just a thin slab of meat. The juice should have been in a separate cup. But the small baked potato was steaming hot! My companion had a giant pile of spaghetti with about a 1/4 cup of sauce on top! Too little for the mound of spaghetti. And it looked like cheap jar sauce and no meatballs. She didn't mind but I wasn't thrilled. And her fountain drink did not come with the meal ($3.99)! I had a lavender lemon drop martini that was ok. ($10). Ultimately the food is mediocre and it feels like they are cutting corners to keep prices down. But that means it's no longer the special place it used to be. Sad.

It's a dive but clean and decent. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive (pretty sure it…read morewas the owner). The reason my rating is low is two major problems. The food came out extremely slow. We waited for 45 minutes, for a table of 5. There were only a few people there at the time. She offered to box up the food since we spent so much time waiting we had to leave. The next problem was our food was very inconsistent. My sister had the junk plate and my son had the junk fries and they both loved their food. My sister said it was one of the better "garbage plate" type meals she's had. Me and my mom not as good. My mom said the soup was lacking any flavor and was not good at all. The main problem with our meals was we both had the egg and olive sandwich. Tasted good until at different times we both bit into egg shells. Happened more than once to the point I didn't want to eat anymore because I didn't know to expect an eggshell. Therefore both me and my mom could not finish our meals. I posted a pic so you can see it's a big piece of shell.

Quirky little dive diner not far from Batavia. The building is pretty old with crooked counters…read moreetc. which gave it some character. My breakfast was nothing special but perfectly fine. Service was a little off. She got my order wrong then disappeared. As a result I really couldn't do anything about it. Also, she gave me my coffee, cream, and sugar. But she didn't give me anything to stir it with (again disappearing). She was a young girl so I'll mark it off to inexperience. If I was in the area, I would go back.

The Scarlet Vetter says....I am almost afraid to review this unique and amazing tiny little hole in…read morethe wall joint. I simply want to keep it all to myself...but as an Elite Yelper, I feel an inordinate moral calling to share this great, super fun, place! It is a tiny, tiny place (hence, the first part of its name.) Maximum capacity of about 35 people. It has an outside volleyball court and a great outside deck on which you can enjoy a cool upscale beverage, or a Coors Light....literally it is that kind of place, something for everyone!!!! On a beautiful day, what a place to spend the afternoon for some fabulous burgers and the libation of your absolute choice! Now for the GREAT stuff. Amazing burgers. Like Amazing. Juicy, flavorful. Yum. Cozy tables and high tops with stools and a decent sized bar inside, then the nice deck, outside. The locals clearly know about this place and they have kept it a DEEP SECRET. I understand. It is a prize and if I were them, I would do the same. We heard about this cubbyhole, randomly, through rumor. Then we found it on Facebook. Our car driving group made arrangements to have a happy hour on a beautiful, sunny, fall Saturday following a rally style drive around WNY. The owner, Jennifer, was wonderfully accommodating when contacted in advance, agreeing to prepare a happy hour offering for us from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, with special burger sliders and fry baskets for our drivers as appetizers, as we finished our rally style drive and rolled into Stafford New York in waves. We took over the Tiny Piney for a two hour period. Total fun. Steph, the master mixologist who totally dominates the Tiny Piney's unique bar, developed two specialty cocktails for our group. One was called the Pink Cadillac Margarita, and the other was called the Road Trip Cold Brew. Both. Were. Incredible. My driving group, The Western New York Drivers, are a great group of folks who love cars--from the very high end supercars and exotics to classics to muscle cars. Our drivers who are of all walks of life, were all so impressed with the incredible hospitality offered by The Tiny Piney, and their warm and welcoming group of local patrons. It is not every day that millions of dollars worth of cars driven by strangers, roll into a tiny bar in upstate Western New York, but the Tiny Piney handled it in total stride and arranged in advance for great parking on the lawn of the neighboring car business for our cars. Just perfect. My husband and I live 50 minutes from this hidden gem, and mark my words, we will be back before driving season's end, with or without our larger ensemble....as soon as possible! Thank you Steph and Jennifer for a warm welcoming Tiny Piney hug!
