This grease spoon offers mediocre food, lousy service, and overpriced menu. Back before the fire, Pete's was great. Now it's awful. There are other nearby restaurants. Why waste your time and money, and eat lousy food? read more

Pete's is a classic. I haven't eaten here in years, but we used to be regulars on Sunday's once a month after our ministry to the Youth House and before church. Pete's was always good for a big breakfast and as a group, we could hang in the back for a while. I will always remember one of our group members ordering 4 split sausages (which is 8 pieces). The waitress brought 8 sausages split. That is a lot of sausage.... Usually Pete would come by and make us feel at home, with his trade-mark mustache. Pete must be doing some home renovating, because my husband and I bumped into him twice in the last few weeks in Home Depot! read more

The food in this place is so so so so bad, they don't get it right not even one time , I order.ed From here because honestly there is not to much choices in the neighborhood besides the typical expensive Italian restaurants on arthur avenue, that food is not that great either but me been living in italy and knowing the quality of the food over there, trust me is nothing to die for. But back to Pete's.cafe , the service is not bad and they are pretty nice.. now the food OMG, it's so bad... I don't understand how people reviews this place as so great , it's either friends of the owner or they never had a good quality food in their entire life.... Enough said... read more

The place is clean and looks really good interior wise in my Opinion. But when it came to the food it was a different story. I ordered a burrito with everything in it ( chicken,rice,beans,lettuce,tomato,cheese,sour cream) with fries. For some reason the chef didn't bother to put anything in the burrito except for the chicken and rice and put all the other things on top of the already chicken and rice wrapped burrito. Which i didn't understand but yeah. I took a bite and the chicken was the only thing that killed it for me. The chicken tasted like they took leftovers from three days ago and just heated them up. Basically it tasted like fridge if that makes sense and/or rather old cause it had a sort of stench to it. This honestly surprises me since I come here occasionally with my family for breakfast so I had some high hopes for the burrito at least and im currently second guessing the breakfasts quality. I wouldnt recommend this place. read more

Ah, Pete's - owned by a mustached man whose face you will see everywhere. It has your usual diner fare at pretty decent prices. You have to make sure you're specific in what you're ordering, or you may end up with something you weren't expecting. For instance, if you order roasted turkey, thinking you're getting just roasted turkey, think again. You have to say, "No gravy." Has a 10% discount for Fordham students, and if you're a regular, they'll hardly check your ID. read more

Petes cafe brings me back to my teen years. Still going strong they are super busy. It's a great spot for breakfast or lunch with better than most, traditional diner fare. Personally i love the french toast here. Lite and airy with a vanilla flavor. Servers are always friendly and the students are always abundant. read more

The place has been there for decades. I used to eat breakfast there all the time when I was going to Fordham. Good food at reasonable prices and fast service. read more

Good quality diner food. My order came out fast and the staff is pretty attentive. Good spot for breakfast.

Got the pastrami and egg sandwich on rye with a cup of coffee. Solid and less than $10.

Pete's is a pretty average diner. I gave an extra star because it has the best seating of all the breakfast places in walking distance to my house. While others are cramped and dingy I found it to be fairly clean, and easy to get a large table. I would definitely recommend Pete's for breakfast. Pancakes:Good, Sausage:Excellent (the big link kind cut in half) Chicken Quesodila:Good, lots of chicken, lots of onions , served w jarred salsa and sour cream A lot of items are under $10. The service is average. I had to remind our waitress of a few things but she was super friendly so I forgave her. read more

Five of us used Yelp to locate a nice place to have Breakfast/Lunch around noon on a Saturday in connection with a visit to the NY Botanic Gardens. Yelpers, you didn't let us down! Pete's Cafe fit the bill perfectly. We each had a breakfast consisting of standard fare: scrambled eggs or omelets, hash browns, turkey sausage (for me), toast and coffee. Seating in the rear area was immediate, service was prompt and efficient, pleasant diner atmosphere, and frequent coffee refills. Restaurant was pretty full with nearby Fordham students and others. Also, prices were reasonable and the menu was extensive. Thanks again, Yelpers! read more

I've come here before and usually things are great. This time unfortunately we waited over half and hour for food... For coffee alone!!! Apparently our waitress clocked out and told no one she still had a table open. read more

Had a genuinely awful experience at Pete's. Food was an hour late. Our orders were either ice cold or plain wrong, then they still charged us for the incorrect food. Simple requests like "no tomatoes" or "plain pancakes" were ignored. I've been to Pete's a few times now and it's never a great experience, but this was even worse than normal. The food is extremely underwhelming and it's not worth the service. So many better options nearby. Definitely not going back here. read more

After passing by lately, they suffered a fire and are closed and don't seem to be able to open soon enough. they always had good food and priced right and very popular among students and faculty from Fordham U. I live in the area and like eating breakfast or lunch and felt pretty good afterwards. I hope they open soon or I'll just miss them till then. read more

I never received my order and when I tried calling the restaurant nobody answered. It's been almost two weeks and I haven't received my refund. I called last week and gave my information again to the manager for her to remove the charges. I called back again today and I just got off the phone with a woman who told me the manager isn't there and to call back tomorrow morning then hung up. Terrible customer service. Very disappointing and frustrating! read more

This place claims to deliver but they took my order then call back an half an hour later to call back to say they won't deliver. They were extremely rude. The woman who answered the phone obvious didn't know how to conduct buisness. She went on to say we were located too far for the driver to deliver when its within walking distance(10 to 15 min walk). I was told this is what the owner said but when i asked to speak to him i was told he wasn't even there and that i could come in and speak to him tomorrow if i liked then she asked if i was done like if i was being dismissed. I asked if i was too far for delivery why was the menu put under my door? She then replied how she had no idea nor did she care. I would never spend a dime in a place that doesnt have respect or value a customer this place is a joke. Even after i told he i would be writing a review on their customer service she told me to go right ahead so here it is. The menu even say local postal customer as we are both located in 10458. read more

My friend and I waited at the counter forever for our meals. The waitress gave us the check before they even started the food. Everytime we inquired about our order, they lied and said it was ready or acted like they didn't hear us. The wait was long and nobody apologized for the poor service. The waitress had the nerve to say the wait was because they don't have grits in the morning (even though it was part of the breakfast menu and one of the optional sides for the meal that I ordered). I asked her why she didn't tell me and she had no answer. The food was okay, and definitely not worth enduring the rudeness and long wait, grits and all!! I don't care if I am starving and about to pass out, I WILL NOT GO THERE EVER AGAIN!!!! read more

I was pleased to find this place. I was at the Botanical Gardens, and I don't like eating there, so I waled outside to see if there was anyplace else to eat. It was good. A diner - a bit better than most. I ordered this "Duo" meal, which turned out to be two large sandwiches with potato salad. It was a LOT of food, and the Pastrami was particularly good - really, really tasty. Nice folks, good service, good food, lots of it, good prices. Next time I'm in this area - and I am a lot, being a member of both the zoo and the garden, I'll be sure to come and eat here. read more

The food is great, the service is great, mildrid is the most friendly women ever. The only problem I had was one young lady talking on the phone about her sexuality. Not to mention she was on her phone the whole time. If it wasnt for mildrid, I would have giving a worst review read more

This is the best diner in the area! Cheap food, great service, lots of choices. Exactly what you're looking for when you want diner food.

This place is gross and has poor service. M & G's is definitely the best breakfast option in the area. I saw mold growing on a muffin once.

Very yummy, very cheap. A good amount of food too. They deliver which is great. Their delivery minimum kind of sucks, because their food is so cheap. You basically have to have multiple people order to meet the minimum. Overall though, I like to order from there, and will continue to. read more
