Excellent neighborhood diner. Can't fault it. Best in the Slope, I think (which is not to knock some other good options). Solid food, efficient service. Can be a bit busy and the manager can get surly but it's a Brooklyn diner, after all! read more

Purity diner has a special place in my heart. I've been coming here for about 10 years now - and also spent many late nights studying here when i was in college. Food is decent and the service is spectacular. We just popped in for breakfast - they've done a great job in setting up outdoor seating due to Covid and unlike some of the other restaurants the seats are well spaced out. All of the servers had masks on the entire time and we felt so comfortable. I had the eggs Benedict with turkey bacon and my husband had the waffle with eggs and bacon. read more

Worst place in the entire universe. Customer service is 0 stars! Mistaken the order twice and putting the blame on the customer, unacceptable. Never ever going back to this establishment but wishing them a good look because if this is the way they run a business they are going to be out of business soon, especially now that the neighborhood is changing. Disgusting! read more

What a nice place. Really delicious basic food. Very wide selection. All dood brought my 10 month old granddaughter twice. Staff couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. Neighborhood gem read more

Exactly what we were looking for: an old-school, classic diner! Food was excellent, so was the service--the owner, Nick, is the best host. Try their homemade hot sauce & jam! read more

Horrible experience here. I asked for seating for 3 people, and they said they couldn't seat us until everyone was there. I was waiting for my husband to park the car, meanwhile my daughter was complaining of starving. I decided to ask for seating for two instead and the manager appeared very frustrated and asked if I was asking for 2 or 3 because if a 3rd person comes they won't allow him to even sit down. My daughter was starving so I was going to order right away but even so decided to leave and will definitely not be back! read more

Love this place! Stopped in randomly and was delighted by the selection. Hard to find turkey burgers on a menu anymore, but they've got em, plus sweet potato fries- always a favorite. Also the homemade lemonade was county-fair perfect- I could sit around drinking that all day. With super friendly and attentive service and outdoor dining- what's not to love? I'll definitely be back. Found a new fave! read more

The place is clean, the friendliest staff & the food was so good I ordered some to go! Will definitely return & recommend as well read more

Purity Diner - Western omelet - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So I did a quick Yelp search for diners in the area for Mother's Day. We weren't looking for something fancy or super crowded cause mom wanted to run around the city all day - so Purity seemed perfect. We walked up and they seated us at a freshly cleaned booth within seconds. It was comfy and perfect for our party of 4 adults. The staff were all smiles and super helpful with everything. The food was really good for a diner. They have a great selection of "healthier" breakfast options. Dad's kale omelet was good and I really enjoyed my croissant breakfast sandwich. Mom had the most perfect over easy eggs ever. The waitress was great in guiding us towards ordering the silver dollar pancakes instead of the regular flapjacks as they were just as good and easier to share. The coffee was great and the cups were kept filled up throughout the entire meal. The staff were attentive but still let us hang out when our meal was done to chat and have some awesome family time. The place wasn't packed, so we weren't being jerks. The staff wished mom and happy mother's day and they were so nice the entire time! Loved the family feel of the place. read more

This has been a favorite for burgers and such for many years. Today we had a very bad meal. Sadly we won't be back. Due to the attitude of the "owner"- and how bad this food was they have lost a family of customers. This is a chicken kabob- I was told I probably don't know what a Greek kabob looks like....mind you it's stir Fried in Teriyaki sauce- yes- Japanese sauce the onions and peppers VERY mushy. Tasted bad. Bad!!! Yes bad. Sadly the "owner" doesn't seem old enough to have been in charge long- surely not for as long as we have been coming in. read more

It's been a while since we've been back here and normally we do Breakfast but today we decided to return for lunch. We were seated immediately but weren't greeted for a pretty long time. I'm not sure, but we thought our might be a new server. She was nice but seemed a bit off and out of place (understandable with new hires). We also noticed that they aren't in the habit of bringing you water unless you ask for it. Other than that, my gf really enjoyed her BLT sandwich and I enjoyed my bun less burger with mushrooms & onions and a side of sautéed spinach. All in all we enjoyed ourselves. read more

This was a lifesaver during many trips to Methodist. The burgers are great, and the turkey sandwiches are made with homemade turkey, for all those folks who may not be able to eat deli meat. There's never a wait, and the prices are right. It's a nice thing to know that quick diner grub is so easily accessible in a pinch. read more

I've walked by this place many times and finally went there today, for lunch with a friend. The food was bland (I had an egg-white mushroom omelet with home fries and rye toast), but the service was great; both our server and the young woman who helped her were very pleasant. Also, the cashier was a friendly guy. A real "plus" was that the restroom was spotless - and the interior of the diner is attractive, plus we had a good-sized window table. The Purity Diner has an "A" rating from the Health Department. read more

Classic diner in a great atmosphere in the middle of Park Slope. Like another person said you can change anything on your order and it's ok! Very crowded on a Thursday at 11am. Clean bathrooms, thanks for that. read more

I grabbed breakfast here a few weeks back when I was staying nearby. It is a very typical, charming hole in the wall diner. Not too fancy which is just what I like. The people working here were very friendly too. I really didn't think the food was anything special though. I had scrambled eggs with salsa, rice and beans. The eggs were somewhat bland tasting and a bit overcooked. The rice and beans were good enough but as a few other people mentioned the portions here are pretty small. I left a bit hungry and a bit disappointed at what looked like potentially a very good greasy spoon type of place. Next time in the area I will probably check out other places nearby. read more

Typical dinner. Nice size dinning area. Counter dude was really friendly and helpful. They have your standard diner menu. Price is average to high! I ordered a roast beef sandwich, I guess I forgot to say hot. Sandwich was colder than cold. I wish they would of asked me hot or cold because I obviously didn't order correctly. Bread not toasted, gravy I asked for on the side was not that good at all! We always get to go, so cant comment on the dinning in experience. Been visiting this place for years now, closest thing to Methodist hospital that's good! Will def be back, just need to be specific next time. read more

10pm on a Sunday night when the only other place open in Park Slope was the Tea Lounge but it smelled like weed and vomit, we came here. The Purity is surprisingly neat and lovely: lots of Brooklyn vintagey decor, like subway signs, old photos, a bike mounted on the wall. The food is pretty good AND can be considered cheap: corned beef hash and eggs (and awesome potatoes, and toast) for under $7, whaaa? To boot, coffee's only a buck with free refills. Service has always been friendly and no one glares if you sit and chat for hours and order nothing but coffee and pie. Lots of the clientele are from the hospital across the street. It's not a place you go out of your way to frequent, but for people in the neighborhood it's the old standby, and beats all the other diners around. read more

I was craving some diner food and I was in the slope. I wanted to try something new aside from what is commonly on 5th Ave. I decided to call up a friend who lives off of 7th Ave and he suggested this place. The decor is really cool. Bikes on the wall, street and subway signs and a mix-and-match of pots, pans and misc things. The place is real cozy. It's the kinda place where you can come in, order a coffee and read a book and they won't bother you. It's great! I ordered the Blueberry pie with whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream. The pie isn't made fresh on the premises, but i'm guessing that it comes from another place. The pie was very good and filling. I paid about $5 for the slice of pie with the extras. If you want to get away from the crowd on 5th Ave. I suggest you try this place. It's homestyle food with the decor to match. read more

Purity Diner is my favorite spot to eat when I visit my family in Park Slope, which is a lot. We always go here. It will always have a special place in my heart and, of course, my stomach. The food is always delicious. I am never disappointed. I may be an adult, but I still love their chicken tenders and waffles. They're chocolate shakes are always tasty, too. You should definitely come here if you're in the area! read more

Our go to diner the three weeks we visited the Nicu and every time staff was nice, and the food was great. Solid little diner- service is a bit slow.. but I guess they don't want you to feel rushed. Although when asked they'll accommodate you. The last time we couldn't stay and eat so we ask d before our food came out if they can pack it to go and they did which was very nice of them. Don't come if you're in a rush but it's def a great place to catch a break and hang out. Food is amazinggggg and great prices. read more

The waitress Daniella was so easygoing and nice, she really made our lunch experience (especially during a pandemic) great. She was attentive, friendly and polite as were the other staff members who assisted us! This is a good diner, especially if you're looking for well-made authentic diner food. Everything was delicious and the outdoor dining experience was one of the best we've had. Very clean with tables, menus, and always cautious of passerby. read more

I used to love this place. But when I go now, I see the manager and all the servers never wearing a mask for one second.

This is a great local place in Park Slope. The service is quick, friendly, and professional. The food is excellent and very reasonable priced. Could not recommend more highly. read more

John is always very hospitable, the food gets the job done as your classic diner menu will not blow you away, however, I love the people that work there & the neighborhood vibe is always a welcome sight! I would recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, the quality of the chicken is high caliber. read more

We went in at about 1pm on Saturday, was a full house in there, with a short wait, and was sat in about 2 minutes. Place was run by all guys. But really attainable and great service. The food was great and came quick. I LOVED their weekend specials list. I got the guac Benedict for $11 and it was amazing. Came with a side of greens. Was literally the PERFECT PORTION. Will def be back for that same meal and homey feel!! read more

My family have been big fans of Purity since we moved to the Slope a few years ago. I never thought to write a review before, but I do have to shoutout their delivery service since the pandemic. We've gotten breakfast a few times now and the omelettes show up hot and they are very fast getting it to us. We initially were hesitant ordering eggs delivered, but somehow they've figured out how to bring the diner to us to very efficiently. The guy who answers the phone is always friendly. Would highly recommend giving them a call if you wake up craving that diner breakfast you used to order in The Before Time. read more

Manager is extremely ageist and condescending. Laughs at customers and has no regard for respect or helpfulness.

The food ranges from between good to very good. But most places that have been around a long time serve good food; that's not what makes this place special. What DOES make Purity stand out is the staff. They go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating to customers. Leading by example are the owner, John, and his baby brother, Alex. Even though they are often busy at the counter with phone orders, the register and a somewhat troublesome credit card machine, both brothers always have a smile and friendly chat for customers, often greeting regulars by name. The other day, Alex went out of his way, right before closing, to acknowledge the birthdays of two regular customers, an elderly woman and a middle aged man. These are the sort of human elements that put Purity head and shoulders above the crowd. read more

Favorite breakfast place, and tastes just as good when delivered. My favorite is the corn beef hash with over easy eggs and rye toast. Pancakes are great as well. Very nice staff, clean restaurant. read more

Love this place, confused by some of the negative reviews. Among Park Slope diners it's possibly the best with excellent servers, good coffee, reasonable prices. The Greek salad is excellent. The multigrain toast with the eggs is super reliable and you can swap out potatoes with tomatoes and lettuce. Love their bagel and lox platter, sandwiches, the Turkey burger--we eat there all the time. The outdoor seating in really nice and family and dog friendly. There are plenty of upscale restaurants in NYC to spend heavily, and here you can get a quick, healthy (depending on your selection), affordable meal out. read more

This was posted by a friend on Facebook Last nite tried to go To the Purity Dinner For something quick Family and service dog Filo -- immediately stopped at the front door due to dog It wasn't as bad as other times but still not right, had to show Filo 's. ID- which we did After that we just walked out-- It just turns you away. These businesses still don't seem to have the laws. This was purity dinner on 7th ave and 7th street in Bklyn Thought this might be helpful for the establishment to study up. General RULES Q7. What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal? A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability. Q8. Do service animals have to wear a vest or patch or special harness identifying them as service animals? A. No. The ADA does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag, or specific harness. Q9. Who is responsible for the care and supervision of a service animal? A. The handler is responsible for caring for and supervising the service animal, which includes toileting, feeding, and grooming and veterinary care. Covered entities are not obligated to supervise or otherwise care for a service animal. Q10. Can a person bring a service animal with them as they go through a salad bar or other self-service food lines? A. Yes. Service animals must be allowed to accompany their handlers to and through self-service food lines. Similarly, service animals may not be prohibited from communal food preparation areas, such as are commonly found in shelters or dormitories. read more

Horrible service from the bald guy behind the register, Walked in and he didn't say anything. He just looked at us and walked away, we waited and then we asked if they were open or if it's too late to sit and eat. He just said yeah we are open. Right after another pause we asked if we should sit. He replied "you could sit, its up to you" I don't know if the guy was mad at the world that he is bald or if he was having a bad day. I just didn't want to walk in and sit without acknowledgment from the host/waiter. read more

Great spot for a quick lunch or brunch. I stopped in here one Saturday afternoon hankering for a burger. The decor is fun and doesn't have that "typical" diner look or feel to it. It does however offer that typical diner menu. You know everything from breakfast to burgers to gyros to soup of the day. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries. They call it "the best burger you will ever taste." Eh I do not know about that, but it was definitely tasty and promptly inhaled into my mouth and down to my belly within 5 minutes. The fries were nothing special, but still tasty. For $7.95 I was satisfied. My wife ordered breakfast and got the eggs, bacon, toast combo. All of it was again typical fare and while tasty, nothing original. But then again this is a diner, do not come here for a fancy culinary experience. Come here for tasty food, with great service in a nice location with great decor. I will be back. Hmm...and since this review is "useful" and "cool", but not necessarily "funny", I will just add a joke in hopes of a few funny clicks below. What happens when two snails fight? They slug it out. read more
