    Hot tea
    Cheri G.

    A quaint little diner conveniently located near the hospital. This spot is decorated in such a nostalgic way. Old time bicycles and glassware. Original mta subway signs. I met the owner John while there he was kind and hardworking. I ordered a tea with a corn beef omlette, it was served with home fries and toast (my choice was 7 grain) nice portions for a decent price considering the neighborhood and proximity to the hospital.

    We came in at 2:50pm on a Sunday and were informed that the kitchen closes at 3pm and the establishment closes at 4pm. Our order was rushed to the kitchen, as were many others, from customers who came in by the last minute till 3pm. Host was so amiable and accommodating. Lovely guy. Waiters & busboys were visibly harried and stressed. We felt uncomfortable taking up space at a time when staff clearly looked ready to close up. Only on Sundays they close so early, so be warned. Pleasant atmosphere, casual and low stakes. Classic rock & holiday tunes playing on the radio. The chicken teriyaki sandwich $19 surprised with a good portion of grilled chicken breast. Didn't feel any teriyaki anywhere--just a plain grilled chicken breast with a few sautéed onions. But solid if you're hungry and need a decent portion of protein. The standard diner fries are noting to write home about--typical fast food quality. Gyro platter was a serious disappointment, especially after being recommended by our waiter. The Greek salad was the only enjoyable part (and how hard is it to throw a bagged salad and some feta on a plate?). The "gyro" was something awful: four pieces of highly processed breakfast mystery "meat". We had stomach issues on the toilet, in the evening, after this particular "meat". Do not get if you value your health. Inedible and dangerous to the health. A $2 upcharge for sweet potatoes fries was not worth it. Another bagged, pre frozen fast food fries variety. Would not return. Food was mediocre and underwhelming in quality and taste, at best. Inedible and dangerous, at worst.

    We love this diner. It is one of my favorite diners to come to. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Love the ambiance and decor of this diner. The menu has a variety of foods to choose from. Staff is super attentive, and food is always tasty and delicious.

    I love Purity Diner. This cosy diner is a staple for us. My partner has been coming to this establishment his entire life and after my introduction, it's become my favorite too. The owner is a NYM fan and has some subtle memorabilia. He always greets us when we walk in and it's clear he remembers us. So kind of him to always remember us and make kind conversation. Food is 5/5. Exactly what you expect and are craving.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Heather L.

    We checked this place out for a child friendly weekend brunch. The good: ample indoor and outdoor seating and a huge dinner menu with plenty of kid approved options including a kids menu. Service was slow to start but got better as the meal continued . I got the Huevos Rancheros which was $17.50 - a decent sized portion and good. All in all - it's a classic dinner and definitely recommended if that is what you are looking for.

    Nova Lox and cream cheese bagel

    Loved this little spot. There's a lot of breakfast locations in this area but this is definitely one to check out! Immediately when we walked in we were greeted by the most friendly servers. Our booth was comfortable, clean and spacious. Our server was attentive, friendly, and quick. The food was fresh and delicious. I got the Nova lox bagel with cream cheese, with a side of sausages. My fiancé got pancakes with home fries and everything was cooked and flavored to perfection. We walked away satisfied and planning to come back. It was also very affordable! I was impressed for the area. Cute little dinner would definitely recommend for a quick sit down bite.

    Pkasters. I like the spot. It was clean and service was good. Food wasn't stand out. Not the best Brooklyn Diner experience but I say if you in the area visiting a loved one in the Hospital you can't go wrong with breakfast for lunch. #Pkast

    We love this place. It has a cute ambiance with old time sinage, like street signs etc. for decoration. My family comes here all the time, staff is nice. I love the kitchen burrito and the dulce de leche French toast. I would recommend!

    Blue plate: 2 eggs fried with french fries. Red plate: California omelette with home fries. Avocado, whole wheat toast on the side

    Purity Diner is my go-to diner. The food and service never disappoint. I always end up either getting my usual breakfast order of eggs that come with a side of fries and toast with an iced coffee. In terms of service, I don't think I've ever waited longer than 20 minutes for a seat and the 20 minutes was because there was only outdoor seating available (during COVID). Now that indoor seating is available at a limited capacity, you are required to sign in if you'd like to eat inside and write your name, phone number and the time you came in. Also, the waitresses/waiters are always there when needed, as are the other employees refilling your coffee etc. In terms of price, I would say the prices are standard diner prices. But you will definitely get a good portion of food for the price paid. If you are hungry and unsure of where to eat, definitely stop by Purity Diner as you'll end up leaving full and happy :)

    HE-MAN Combo
    Ryan F.

    Ordered breakfast at Purity Diner on Saturday morning. My meal was a mixed bag of food that showed the limitations of this diner. Quality: Purity Diner serves up pretty standard diner fare. I ordered the HE-MAN Combo, which was French Toast with Bacon, Ham, Sausage, and Eggs. The French Toast was excellent, but the meats and eggs were not very good. It felt too much like frozen items. The French Fries, which we ordered steak-style, were very good. I also enjoyed my Vanilla Milkshake, though additional flavors are needed. Quantity: Large portions of everything. Value: $15 for the HE-MAN Combo. $4 for French Fries. $5 for a Milkshake. Ambiance: Purity Diner is located across the street from the hospital in Park Slope. They have a large outdoor dining area, constructed during COVID. They also have a fair amount of seating inside, a mix of tables and booths. A bar area is located in the front and two televisions play on opposite sides of the restaurant. Some classic rock music was on in the background. Crowd: A decent crowd on Saturday morning, lots of families. Service: The waiters were unbelievably friendly and helpful. Parking: Tough street parking.

    Hats off to you

The servers come directly to your table and they write down the menu for the day. The menu generally run American classics, but a bit more "chefy" than a run of the mill diner. Unfortunately, I think I came on an off day, as there were some miscues. The clam dish had a ton of potential, but was noticeably overseasoned, and I'm a self-proclaimed salt lover. It was mentioned that the pork chop was going to be medium to medium-rare, but what we received was in the edge of well done (and even burned on some ends). The burger and fries, though, were fantastic. A bit hit or miss, but I do want to come back as the menu is creative and I'm sure it would have been great on a better day.

The interior was cozy and old-school with beautiful stained glass pendant lamps. They didn't have specialty coffee drinks, so I just got a Cold Brew with oat milk. The three of us ordered a bunch of food to share - the Honey Butter Pancakes, Sam's Tuna Melt, Matzoh Ball Soup, and a side of Crispy Chicken. The famous pancakes really were delicious! I loved the lemon zest and fluffy texture. But the Tuna Melt honestly stole the show for me! It was easily the best Tuna Melt of my life, and normally I never crave them. This one was just so well-crafted and I loved the crunchy salt & vinegar chips inside. The Matzoh Ball Soup was also solid and the Crispy Chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. We definitely over-ordered when it came down to quantity, but the meal was fantastic!

Got…read morethere around 8:50am and there was a huge line at the door with no proper delineation or signage of how someone with a reservation should approach the staff or form a line or anything. Was very confusing and didn't make sense to stand in the huge line if you have a reservation. I walked in (the door was open and a few employees were standing around). I approached someone holding an iPad who looked like the host and asked what I was supposed to do. They said to stand in the long line. I mentioned I had a reservation, but they insisted I should stand in the long line. I was worried standing in the line was going to be a mistake because once the clock strikes 9am and they start letting people in we'd be all the way at the back of the line and get missed or not hear any announcements about people with reservations (it's very loud in the area, especially due to a train passing by every few minutes). So I make my wife stand in the line just in case and I stand near the front in case they make an announcement for people with reservations. Guess what, the clock strikes 9am and they make no announcement or anything. They just start taking people waiting in line (who don't have a reservation) with no regard for people who made a reservation. I had to interrupt the host at the podium for them to even notice me standing nearby and mention I had a reservation. The host then kind of had some attitude, but we were seated. I was so surprised that after being open for so long now and being so hype they don't know how to properly manage their reservations. Or maybe they just don't care?? Well if I listened to the employee that told me to wait in the line, I would have totally missed the boat and been disappointed. They would have just let in all the people waiting in line and the restaurant would have been full by the time I got to the front. I'm glad I had a backup plan in this case, but I was so disappointed in their way of handling the situation. Basically if you have a reservation, especially at 9am when they open, DON'T wait in the long line and miss your reservation. Wait by the podium and interrupt them when they start taking people from the line and mention you have a reservation. Unfortunately they didn't do a good job of having a proper process for reservations :( Super sad especially because of all the hoops you have to jump through to even get lucky enough to make a reservation via RESY. Once we sat down, the waitstaff there was not very friendly or welcoming either. The guy that took our order was the one that have me the wrong information to stand in line. He even had attitude while taking our order and we felt rushed. As for the food, of course we wanted to try the famous pancakes. I will say, for the novelty they are worth trying, especially if you like the honey flavor. I personally like the maple syrup flavor more. The texture of the pancake is super unique, it's dense and fluffy, but the edges have a nice crisp. Was happy that they served it hot and fresh. But they are inconsistent on how much syrup they put on the pancake. Mine was swimming in syrup and my wife's had a moderate amount. I would have preferred less syrup as it was way too much the way they served it to me. Overall, not my favorite pancake ever, but I understand why people may enjoy it. 3/5 stars. The egg sandwich we got was pretty pathetic though. The flavors were super basic and it just felt clumpy and heavy. 2/5 stars. We also got brewed coffee and asked for half and half, but were given milk instead. Coffee ultimately didn't taste good at all. What diner doesn't have half and half for their coffee?? 1/5 stars. Overall, I'd say there are better places for breakfast in NYC with better service. Come here to try the pancake if you must, but beware they don't really care about you as a customer.

This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.

While they have all the traditional breakfast fare, I was so happy to see it also had a Caribbean twist to it.

Of course, I wanted some actual breakfast items, so we got the French toast loaded with fruit. We also got both the tres and quatro golpes, which is a traditional Dominican breakfast. Lastly, we got a Caribbean omelet. My rice and pernil was solid. The rice could've used a tad bit more seasoning but when mixed with the side of beans and plantains plus a drizzle of hot sauce it was perfect. They had a variety of sauces--Tabasco (my fave), a Jamaican one that was super spicy, and a mild homemade one. The tres/quatro golpes was also a hearty choice with mangu (mashed plantain), sausage, fried cheese, and eggs. The pickled red onion balanced everything out. The fried cheese is similar to a halloumi but I think it's a bit more flavorful. All the flavors just melt together in your mouth perfectly. The French toast and omelet were good. I'd say the Caribbean items stole the show though. The place has a typical diner vibe and is on the small side. Food was served quickly and service was good. Discount if you pay in cash. I will be coming back to try their Cuban!!

Crisp, sweet, tart, crunchy, it was a perfect little treat for myself. Most definitely would order again. The BEC pierogies were tasty, but I felt like I should've at least gotten seven or eight for $16. That's 2.50 a dumpling for 6. I wish I had more for the price point or at least that they were more filled with stuffing, like it's eggs. I'm not disappointed just I was still slightly hungry when I left, which is not what I wanna feel after paying $38 for breakfast with tip. Not unreasonably priced just you don't feel like you're getting a good bargain is all. They are handmade. I'll give them that. The service was lovely. I may be back to try some other things, I would love to try the latkes. It was a cute environment for sure, Ukrainian diner vibes.
