This restaurant is fantastic. Excellent food and service. Always exciting specials. Friday fish fry is incredible.

Excellent food and service! Friend staff big collection in the menu. Never had a bad meal here.

If you haven't been here, you're likely thinking, "it's a diner, just like all of the others. All of the others who have led me on. All of the others who have betrayed me. All of the others who didn't measure up." But take heart! All it takes is taking off the glasses and letting its hair down, and suddenly you realize just how attractive and special Railway Station Diner really is! It's the quintessential reliable diner. Above average food. Below average prices. Regulars. A counter. Good service. Quick service. The Mediterranean frittata was wholesome and filling. The ingredients, fresh. It came with roast (up charge for raisin toast, but worth it!). The breakfast sandwich with shred, too, was perfectly proportioned; the crunch of the English muffin and the squish of the sausage balanced each other exactly equally, like Neo and Smith in that third Matrix movie. But the true hidden gem was the muffin. Cut in half and grilled. With sugar crystals! Not too big. Not too small. Not so sweet as to be dessert-like. Just perfectly sweet enough to make you not regret "going savory" by getting the frittata as your main course. Next time you're asked about the best diners around, make sure Railway Station Diner is part of the pantheon. read more

I have never had a bad meal here. I have been to almost every diner in Monroe County and this is my favorite by far. The food is superior to every diner I have been to. For almost two years I have been a regular now. The owner is also the head chef/cook and I think that's what is so special about this place's food. He takes pride in his food. Specials every weekend. I recommend the N.Y . Strip and eggs... it is a thick cut of steak. And always get the grits. You're welcome lol. read more

Railway Station Diner - Breakfast messy plate with hollandaise sauce - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, New York

Had an early Drs appointment this morning! I always use that as an excuse to treat myself to breakfast at the Railway afterwards. Love this place, it's small and unsuspecting and has been there for many years. When I remind people of it, they are like "Oh yah, but how is it compared to......(Name of some subpar chain) I am here to tell everyone!!! YES!!! It is the best breakfast in Rochester, made to order. Quality fresh ingredients. Our server was Jenna today! She was very nice, and completely on point. My husband told her he likes his milk when he is done with his meal. What he really likes to do, is have it nice and cold,, when he takes his last bite. Wholley Molley! It's like she read his mind. As soon as her asked me to flag her down. BAM! Glass of milk on the table. That was it for him. Now he is hooked. I have never had a slimy egg, I order them poached and they are always perfect. I love the Country Benny. It's an English muffin, with sausage patty on top of each piece of muffin. Topped with country gravy, with fried potatoes, extra crispy on the side. Yummo! My husband who is the pickiest eater, has also never had a bad meal. His favorite is 2 eggs over easy, with bacon, toast and hash browns. Place is very clean, and filled with regulars. But it is not crazy with a line out the door like Jim's on Main. Simple, delicious, caring food, that tastes like it's made with love. Their coffee is always delicious. The only cons are a small parking lot, that can be difficult to maneuver, and I'm not sure they have any heat or air conditioning. I usually feel a little chilled in the winter or hot in the summer. But Idk ‍ it could be menopause lol read more

Pretty good dinner! I always love eating here and the staff is quick and efficient! Tip your servers people!!

We used to go all the time. Prices were fair and food was fair. Parking sucks. It always looks dark and due to that makes it look dirty. Went in a couple of years ago. Waitress got snippy said I won't go back there. Found another diner that is very clean and very good. I won't say the name Of it on here out of respect. I don't have to pay to be disrespected read more

Weekend (Sunday) breakfast super crowded! Staff very efficient and friendly getting you seated though-we waited only about 5 minutes to get a table. Very cozy and lots of " regulars" which is always a good sign. . Menu very large but they have pretty much anything you might want for breakfast. I will say both my husband and I found the food although well prepared -a little under seasoned all around and had to add salt and pepper- but one we did that, much better! read more

Breakfast was great with flowing coffee!!Friendly service is a great start to the day! This is the most affordable diner around,a very comfortable place to eat. read more

A comforable Diner. Food and service are solid. Prices are seasonable. Waitstaff are friendly.

Love this breakfast/lunch restaurant! You won't be disappointed... prices are fair, portions are good, food is excellent.

We love this diner! Fast, friendly and highly competent service, awesome food, great menu and more than fair pricing. We also enjoy the mix of young and very "mature" customers and the welcoming neighborly atmosphere. read more

Firstly, Kelly was the best waitress ever EVER! I had hash browns with peppers, onions, cheese, and meat sauce. It was so delicious I tried to eat it all ‍. My husband had a spinach and mushroom omelette and hash browns. He loved it too. We were so hungry that I forgot about taking pictures read more

Another great breakfast spot! Got a decent amount of food for the price and it all was cooked perfectly. We ordered a pumpkin milkshake which tasted great! I will be coming back to try lunch and dinner options! read more

Another 5 star diner in Rochester,NY. Food is served hot and too order, and customizable without frustrations.

Always feels like home, never a hassle. read more

Good food, old school vibe, prompt service. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs and everything was cooked well and tasted good. Also, the prices are super reasonable! read more

This is just a little better than McDonald's. Would not go back. Prices are reasonable though.

Tasty Kid friendly Quick service Decent prices for families Accommodates large groups We were looking for a new place to eat in between running errands. It was easy to find on W. Ridge and right next to the railroad tracks. They have a parking lot and an adjacent street for overflow, but I can imagine it gets packed quickly for Sunday breakfast. Our waitress was super friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The cheesy grits were creamy goodness! The kids pancakes shaped like Mickey's head were fun for the kids. Batter is homemade and delish that we ordered a regular order for us adults during our meal to share. Great find on Yelp! read more

Stopped here for breakfast and it was awesome. We were seated quickly, coffee was flowing and the food is homemade. I had a meat lover omelette with home fries and husband got eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. We both loved it. Make sure you try the meat sauce it is fantastic and really does go on everything. We even got some to go. Our server Kelly was happy and attentive. Prices are fair and portions are large. Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food delicious, generous helping, excellent service and best of all price very reasonable

We ate for lunch and it was horrible service and food was lackluster. Maybe they are better for breakfast. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

Food, service, remaining post-Christmas decorations diner ambience were all great. Met a friend for breakfast at 10:00 and had to park down the street, as the parking lot was full. Just beat the late morning rush hour. I had a western frittata and my friend got one of the 25 different omelets. We both enjoyed our food and will be back for the food and friendly service. We also want to make sure we return next Christmas as they only had half their decorations left up and what was there was fun and unique. We heard it was really decked out prior to the new year. Can't wait to go back to this unassuming diner with much more room inside for people than the parking lot had for cars. read more

Food choices and the cleanliness , don't forget the service on point. It's a great place to eat and relax.

Where has this frittata been my whole life? I'm telling you. Order this. Meat lovers frittata, extra cheese, add jalapeños or banana peppers. Easiest 5 star of my life. read more

Railway Station Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, New York

From the outside, this looks like a hole in the wall, and you'd drive right by and not notice it, if you're not looking for it. Inside, this place is a gem. I was seated immediately, despite the parking lot being completely full (had to park on the side street) and the place being very busy. Everyone working was super friendly, prompt, and attentive. Tons of breakfast options, and a handful of daily specials. I got the Breakfast Messy Plate (eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes topped with hollandaise). It was phenomenal. Excellent blend of different flavors, and only $8. Big portion - I couldn't finish it. It came with toast as well. They also had a S'mores French Toast weekend special, which was HUGE and would satisfy anyone with a major sweet tooth. Glad I discovered this spot, I will be back to try more things! read more

Yeah I'm a fool for passing by this diner for years and never even looking at it! It taste amazing and definitely on my list for breakfast must in Rochester/Greece area. I stopped in with the wife for a late breakfast and was happy surprised by the kind staff, clean environment and home like feel. The food is really really good and well priced. The chicken and waffles was a special that day, and they tasted special! Probably the best I've had in a long time! The chicken club was devoured by my wife. She said it tasted fresh and was perfect! He eyes closed when she tasted it so that's a good sign. We'll definitely be back and recommend to others! read more

I've been meaning to review this diner for some time. I finally got around to it. Don't judge this diner by it's cover!! It is very unassuming from the outside but a gem on the inside. Let start out by saying I have tried several breakfast item and have never been disappointed. I can't comment on any of their lunch or other items but if they put the effort into them like they do the breakfast, I am sure they are good. This is one of my go to diners. The staff is very friendly knows many of the patrons by name and usually seats you immediately. Your coffee and water will arrive minutes later. This is one of the places that you don't have to flag down someone to refill your coffee. Our waitress never let the coffees get empty and filled our waters back up until we were ready to leave and had paid the bill. We were also impressed she offered hot sauce when we ordered. I usually order pancakes, with 2 over easy eggs placed right on top, rye toast, and sausage links. My wife orders the egg and sausage breakfast sandwich. The eggs were cooked perfectly, some places you order eggs over easy and they don't fully cook the white. When I don't get pancakes I usually get something with hash browns or home fries. Other diners I have encountered the potatoes not cooked enough and lacking the crispy exterior. The potatoes here are well seasoned and well cooked with the right amount of crispness on them. Overall the food was excellent and the service incredible! Without a doubt one of the best diners Rochester has to offer! read more

My boyfriend and I wanted breakfast after work so we settled on this place and we're very happy that we did! Service was excellent and quick, food was hot and delicious. Christmas decorations were up when we went and they just added to the coziness. Will be returning! read more

Food abundant and delicious followed by speedy polite service. Has old fashion "comfy" vibe.

Nice and quiet place off in the cut. Great place to have breakfast. They served cheese grits that tasted like home. Staff were very pleasant. They made me feel like I was being served at their home. read more

Very big portions food is good with no wait parking is a bit of a problem though.but I would recommend getting there early

The Rail will Prevail! This diner is still amazing. They are following all of the protocols for Covid and are doing prevailing. They have donated food to those on the front line which is not surprising at all. This diner is a family run location and that family treats it's customers as family as well. You will not be disappointed! read more

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to stop by this little places I drove faster over the years and a few weeks ago I finally did and I have been so happy that I made that choice. They do have some pretty limited hours they're open early but they close by 2:00 p.m. that's really the only negative about this place. The staff is always super friendly and we have never had to wait for a table even though it's always busy. Prices are great and the food is even better! Coffee is good and fresh and the home fries are fantastic! read more

Great food, great service and. The coffee was hot and the food was great. Parking was not an issue and the place has a hometown vibe.

I was in Rochester for a couple of days and this place popped up on yelp so I decided to give it a try. This place is a little gem that I'm sure gets overlooked unless you are a local. This is a typical little diner that is not much in the way of looks but is an awesome choice if looking for a great breakfast. I ordered the 3+3+3 which I configured mine to be 3 scrambled eggs, 3 sausage links, and 3 pancakes. The food came out quick, piping hot, and tasted great. I would highly recommend this little hole in the wall and I will definitely return if back in the area. read more
