Stopped in at the Stop Inn after I missed my train, and I'm kind of glad I did (almost didn't). At first glance from the outside, it looked almost dingy or old, but that's kind of its charm. It's got an old school vintage feel from the 80s or older. Service was excellent; prompt and kind. There were about 3 other tables occupied with solo diners as well, on a Tuesday at 10AM. Food was better than I expected, steak and eggs were fantastic along with the bacon and hash browns. I'm hoping to miss another train soon in the future so I can visit again. read more

Stop Inn - Romanian steak and eggs - Diners Near Me - Woodside, New York

Tomatoes are healthy, therefore the two slices included in the Irish breakfast offset the massive meat pile. I don't have enough details for a Stop Inn book, blog post or maybe even Yelp review, as I can only recall ordering the Irish breakfast here. There was an impressive array of pork products including black pudding and stellar eggs over medium. The service was delightful. However, the $15 minimum per customer stated on the menu doesn't feel true to the diner paradigm. read more

Lowkey diner literally under the Woodside train station (both the LIRR & the subway) Classic diner feeling, moderate and intimately small (yet wide). Had to take a call before going underground on the LIRR. Perfect quick stop before heading back out. Got the Pancake Deluxe breakfast. Pancakes fluffy and big, came with (3), the a side of eggs, meat and then I added some hash browns. Seasoned them myself, pretty much build flavor yourself base. Got the coffee, free refills in a saucer cup/plate setup. Staff was attentive and on-point. You can tell it's mom & pop and I love that. Definitely will come again, new go to spot while in Queens. read more

I always want to support local business so maybe I'll come back and give their breakfast food another shot. The dinner food was not great. All the dishes were bland and a little dry. The service was friendly but the waitress didn't seem knowledgeable about the menu. She had to come back multiple times to get our choices on the sides that came with the dishes. The guy waiter was much more knowledgeable. The seating area is cozy and nostalgic but the biggest table was quite a tight squeeze for 5 people. read more

Stop Inn is a solid diner if you're nearby and want a quick bite. The staff is nice, the decor is cozy, and the service is fast. Prices are fair too. The food was okay, not great, not terrible. My omelet was a little dry and the home fries didn't have much flavor. Coffee was fine. It's a decent spot, but nothing special. read more

I usually pass by here as it is near my gym. They always have specials going on, Wednesday they have lunch specials with salad platters, sandwiches, and pastas. The waitress was quick. The place just looks like an average diner. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and Clam chowder. The chowder was creamy and thick but it didn't stand out very much. The chicken parmigiana was alright at best. The chicken could have had more seasoning and I think the cheese felt overwhelming. The pasta was cooked fine. It came out to around 24 dollars without tip. I think the portions were pretty big, but you can find better. read more

Why is this place SO expensive? Like $45 for 2 omelets expensive. Service was good but prices are crazy for a diner in that area. When we open the menus, we honestly thought they were typos. Can't return with prices like that. Wild!!!! read more

The food that I ordered (Pancakes, scrambled eggs, & sausage) was delicious, I never had a good breakfast since I was in Europe. The service was well greeted and felt welcomed by the waitress name Vanessa. The bathroom is clean! In fact, there's two bathrooms, but I don't know the woman's bathroom is clean. Yes the place is clean, their staff are well dressed like it reminds me of a flight attendants.. read more

Honestly, not much of a fan of this place. The food is pricey for a diner. The bacon, egg and cheese is approximately 11$ and just for 4 chicken tenders is 17$ ???? Make it make sense and I love diners!! The food is okay! But not worth the price. The staff is nice though and the ambiance is cool. If you visit, just be prepared to spend but then again you might as well go elsewhere. read more

As one of the true cornerstones of Woodside eateries, Stop Inn has remained one of the most well known establishments in the area. Being smack dab near the train has its advantages as well as the fact they serve items that most diners don't have. However, in the near decade since my initial review, a lot has changed. That said, the food is still stellar. Most things are so good here that I think one could order anything and get a pretty good meal. I'll forever hold them in high regard since they serve hash browns, which even in 2020 is not a popular item at all in NYC. Their burgers are thick, juicy, and quite underrated in my opinion. They used to only deliver in a 4 block radius but are now delivering far beyond it and are available for online delivery. This is a likely result of the pandemic, which for non-Woodside living fans is a huge silver lining. The delivery is still fast and they've done a good job getting food out to folks. The reason for my downgrade in stardom is for two key reasons: service and price. Service was once one of their best attributes as the staff was energetic, efficient, and enthusiastic. Now, they're a tad harsher on the phone and a little less friendly than before. I still appreciate the nearly all Mexican staff busting their butts to get things going, but not so big on the 'tude as of late. Regarding the prices, it's become astronomical. I understand Woodside is gentrifying, but are folks willing to pay for a $18.40 omelette? The hash brown sides are $7 now and burgers are nearly $11 and that's without fries. When did a grilled chicken salad cost $18.35? An Irish breakfast is $21 now. The monte cristo sandwich is nearly $17 and eggs florentine is close to $16 now. Even a pesto pasta is $22 at this point. I hope they stick around of course, but I've been somewhat priced out as a customer. read more

AWFUL! The breakfast was so overpriced for terrible food. Avoid at all costs! Service was alright but it didn't make the breakfast any better. The "home fries" were more like hashbrowns that looked like onions and they were so plain. Nothing was good but the orange juice. $25 plates from the Brunch menu was ridiculous! read more

Server was nice but this food is not worth the over value. Server did not charge me for the bacon I asked for on the omelettes so when she came back with another check for $9.20 and brought the bill to $65 is actually ridiculous. I was okay paying 66 WITH tip, but to really pay almost $80 for two western omelettes with bacon and a stack of pancakes is abhorrent. How do you expect anyone to come back? And no toast with my order?! What kind of establishment are you running? You need to take a look at other diners in the area and figure out how to do better. DONT COME HERE!! read more

This is the neighborhood diner that I go to occasionally for breakfast. The diner has booth seating and a long counter with stools. It has that classic diner feel and design. I only order one thing on the menu and that's the two eggs any style with either bacon or sausage. I always ask for the home fries to be crispy. I also normally order a cup of hot coffee, which I think they refill it up to three times. The order comes with a small stack of toast on the side and I eat that with the small jam and butter packets they serve along with it. My friend likes to order the freshly squeezed orange juice. She says it's pretty refreshing. I am pretty fond of this place. It's close, convenient and pretty consistent with my order. No doubt there are cheaper breakfasts served elsewhere, but I still like to come here occasionally. One thing that's weird about this place is the tipping protocol for those that pay by card. You have to go up to the cashier and tell them how much you want to tip instead of getting the receipt and writing it down yourself. So heads up on that. If you live close by, you're craving breakfast, and you don't want to go so far, I recommend coming here. read more

Stop Inn - Two eggs over easy with bacon. Crispy home fries - Diners Near Me - Woodside, New York

I've been coming here for years, but they keep increasing the prices! Even so, I continue visiting because it's conveniently close to the 61st Woodside train station and the portion is large and the food is pretty good. I would always order bacon and cheese omelet with toast and fries on the side. The portions are ginormous and I always have leftovers. The food is always out quickly as well. They also offer free refills on teas and hot coffee. The booth seats are comfortable, I always get one of the two booths closest to the door. The staff is really nice and accommodating -most of the time; sometimes the staff is too busy talking. The food is delicious, but I kind of love diner food in general. Tl;dr - good diner food; (some) bit pricey read more

Classic NYC diner. Absolutely classic. Ordered 2 eggs, bacon, fries, OJ, coffee and they were up like a flash-- I was almost not ready for my food. My waiter had an extra napkin to me literally just as I thought of it. Classic booths with table Formica worn from years of use. Food is served on those huge platter style classic diner plates. The music... cool jazz. Muffins and croissants are under cake covers, displayed along the counter. OJ is fresh squeezed. Coffee perfect strength. No need to ask for ketchup or hot sauce; each table has every kind of Cholula and Tobasco. Perfecto! Exactly what I needed. Not doing five stars because you can't really give a diner five--it isn't Jean Georges. But it's perfect for what it is! read more

Stopped in for a quick solo breakfast and was promptly seated. I ordered what I normally do at diners, scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast. As always lots of coffee too! Service was quick and my food came out super fast. It taste like regular diner food. Not bad but nothing out of the ordinary. Portions were pretty large; I couldn't finish my food. I, carb lover, did enjoy my toast more than I normally do. Tasted like fresh from the bakery. read more

After a long night of poker and beers, a solid breakfast is in order. Stop Inn is that place that serves a very consistent hot breakfast. I have been here a few times over the last couple of years and always had a very solid meal. My standard order is 2 eggs over easy with fries, white toast and coffee. Always comes out hot and fresh. Always a tasty meal. Fries are done right; hot and crispy. Eggs always medium and not running. Coffee hot. What more can you say about the food...... Service fast and friendly. Always with a refill on coffee. You ask one guy for something and you get a smile and done. Not the standard "this is not my table BS". If I have one complaint; it is a dollar or so more than my regular diner in Astoria. Not the end of the world, just that I am cheap these days lol. Overall, Stop Inn is a very consistent diner. Food is hot. Service is good. Quick preparation of food to the table. Take CC. Great spot for breakfast. read more

-Small yet cozy local diner/restaurant. Corner spot. Can't miss it! -One of my sister's favorite places for diner food!

MUST HAVE FOR REALS! -Freshly squeezed OJ! -The portion is a good size and very filling. -The prices are pretty fair. -Quick service. Food doesn't take long to serve on table. -Note: Restrooms are down a steep flight of stairs. read more

Me likey diners, especially the old school ones. There is something very unique and special about old school diners that simply can't be replicated in a modern diner. You can't replicate history, vibe, and atmosphere. I can honestly say I've past this place a hundred times and only really went in since a friend told me how much she loved this place and how she has been coming here since she was a kid. I do feel diners are a one trick pony though. I am a huge fan of diner breakfast, everything else is a gamble to me, but the Shepherds Pie on the special's board did tickle my fancy. I also thought the prices were a tad high for breakfast. Reg breakfast for 2 was $21. Whatevs, I still enjoyed my meal. The food: Two eggs sunny side up, with sausage and homemade home fries- So my fav thing were the homemade hash browns. It's so sad that when I get unfrozen hash browns, I get excited. The hash browns are light, fluffy and tender. It's weird that you could taste each strand of potato, I was a excellent. hash brown. The sausage had a very old school diner sausage taste, it was really good. The eggs were cooked properly, the yolk was perfectly runny. This is weird, but the toast was off for me. The white toast had the perfect toasted look but it was odd how it wasn't crunchy, like AT ALL. The "toast" wasn't toast, it was like "brown white bread." I never had un-toast till today. lol But, I was very happy with my experience here to say the least. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

For years this has been one of my absolute favorite places to get breakfast. Niki and I would ride out from the UES cross the bridge and arrive ready to eat. It used to be one of the few places you could get hash browns. I am not a fan of northern potatoes. I usually would get eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast, oj, and coffee. Sometimes the had breakfast specials are too good to pass up. It's definitely a must try establishment. read more

Another Woodside local eatery crossed off my list. Just below the 61st Street subway stop, this is probably the only thing that immediately catches your eye on the street corner. The window and interior holiday/seasonal decorations are constantly changing throughout the year giving it a nice homey feel. If you're a huge burger fanatic and the craving hits, I'd recommend going here. It wont be the tastiest you've ever had, but it'll just be a huge diner-sized burger (at least 8 ounces) that'll stuff you into a a nice food coma. The fries and onion rings are done well here too. I'd have to give a shout out to the french toast made with a thick challah-type bread as well. The rest of the menu is extensive, pages on pages of menu items. Keep in mind this place is more of a diner and you shouldn't be ordering those "fancier" dishes unless you really want to pay the prices for them, and then complain about the quality. This place gets crowded on weekends when families flock in for breakfast. Service is usually attentive and courteous. To top it all off, Stop Inn takes credit/debit too! read more

Gosh golly I love this place! And the punny name tickles me every single time! Stop Inn is my go-to diner to bring visiting friends for breakfast. It's simple, cozy, and affordable. I've never had dinner meals here, but wouldn't be opposed to trying it out. My latest visit was for take-out since I couldn't eat in as I would have preferred. The takeout process could use some refinement. I know they were probably slammed with dine-in customers, but I also needed to feel like I was being given one's full attention and the necessary details to complete my order. It seems like they'll do delivery no problem, but takeout might be more of a rarity. During my experience, it was unclear how long the food would take, where inside I should pick it up, what the protocol to pay was, etc. Minor details, but not totally insignificant since I was waiting anxiously nearby not knowing how to gauge my time. Besides this though, even in takeout form, the breakfast dishes ordered still held up well to the taste test over an hour later when I got home and was finally able to eat. All in all, breakfast here is a super solid choice that always makes me happy. I do have to say the low key, not too noisy, local neighborhood crowd pleaser vibes I get when dining in is part of its charm and gives the food that extra oomph to make this place memorable. read more

I grew up in this neighborhood and this diner has been on this corner for as long as I can remember. It's the only diner in this neighborhood. All in all, I would say it has pretty standard diner food. It is a good place to get a traditional Irish breakfast (alot of the staff there over the years are actually from Ireland). This place is also commended for being the only place I've been to that actually serves real hash browns. Almost all diners in NYC that I've been to serve either home fries or tater tots or that oval tater tot-like thing you find in McDonalds breakfasts. It's also a bit overpriced. Especially for Queens prices. Other than that, it's a standard diner. read more

Went on a Monday night around 8:30pm and was empty. Horrible service! wrong attitude! If you don't want to work customer service then why you there? This man refused to give me a plastic fork after ordering two full meals, I even explained to him how my bf has health issues, doesn't feel safe using the utensils that's been out on the table whole day, yet he still insist that plastic forks are only for take out! Honestly I would have even paid for the plastic fork if he asked me to, but it's his attitude and tone that got me to just get up and leave. There are ways to make someone understand your rules, but what kind of rule is this? You can't give one plastic fork to a customer who is spending 60$ + ?Never stepping foot in there. read more
