Service, food, and value were good. AaaaaaaaaaasAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've eaten here before, and their biscuits and gravy used to be really good. This time I ordered them to go and didn't realize there was a 10% to-go fee added to the order. On top of that, the waitress helped herself to a tip on two separate checks and kept my change. When I asked for my receipt, she seemed like she didn't want to give it to me. She gave me one receipt, but not the other. I'll never eat there again. The food used to be really good, but now it's just okay. At this establishment, they do not give you back change because the waitress pocket it read more

The New York Diner is a no frills spot for breakfast or lunch. Seat yourself where it's clean and available. Our server was around quick and got us started. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Breakfast seems to be the go-to here as it was 12:30pm and most everyone was eating eggs and pancakes in some form. We looked over the menu. We live 5 minutes from here and have been wanting to stop in for sometime. We got lunch. I got a turkey rueben and some onion rings. My wife, not knowing what to get, got a buffalo chicken sandwich on a kaiser roll. The food was up quick. My wife started in on her sandwich but the chicken wasn't hot and the sandwich just fell apart. The chicken appeared to be two Tyson chicken tenders covered in lettuce and tomato. Not even really sauced with buffalo. My turkey rueben was decent. Not the most flavorful and seemed to lack thousand island dressing. If it was there, it wasn't noticeable. The onion rings, however, were good. Crispy and hot. A low key lunch but a little bit of a let down for us. I wouldn't come back here. read more

I will start off by recognizing the staff here for being so nice and offering great service. Here's where I had to down star this review, One I understand that it's an old school spot on Brandon blvd. The bathroom in here was not clean and had some grime issues. Also the food itself was very bland the gyro meat didn't have much flavor and had chewy bits in the meat. The breakfast was just okay the eggs were cooked perfect and the sausage and gravy you could get by on but the sausage Patty tasted frozen and the grits had a funky taste to them im not sure if it was the cheese or the grits. The pancakes weren't as pretty as they tasted but I'd put those as good. From some of these reviews I can see this place has potential but it just didn't do it for us. read more

The New York Diner - Double Play breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Valrico, Florida

We have been patrons of NY Diner for many years and have enjoyed the great food and service. Eggs cooked perfectly for this picky eater. However, during the past few months we noticed changes in service staff, new people being trained at the grill, etc. The past few times we have been in for breakfast or lunch we noticed the former cooks are no longer there and new people are cooking. Sadly, my eggs were snotty and the hash browns were raw and cold inside. Staff was informed. On my last visit the 'Anytime' was full of oil and the home fries were over-seasoned, and the eggs were snotty again. Drinks are not being refilled as in the past. We noticed fewer people in the diner, a bad sign. The menu prices have remained the same but the quality and atmosphere are not acceptable. Today, I am looking for another breakfast restaurant. read more

Pros: * We had about a five minute wait on a Sunday around 9:30 which isn't bad. * Food was fantastic * You don't have to ask for jelly, jams, marmalades, sugar, creamer, ketchup, etc. * Wait staff was friendly and attentive * 10% discounts for seniors (65+), military, & law enforcement * outdoor seating available Cons: * Atmosphere of a Waffle House without all of the yelling. They could definitely use a different space, or at least take the bar out and put a couple of double booths in. * The drink choice is of soda that evidently is not name brand, but they have unsweetened and sweetened tea, coffee, and juice. * Limited seating inside * Entrance and table....people touch your chairs, brush up against you and definitely don't give others their space when sitting on the other side so my mother and I sat on one side to avoid people touching our chairs or us while we were eating. It was weird to have people feel like they were looking at us while we were eating. I'd eat here again, but definitely not at that table again. I would 100% recommend them to take that table out and make that the hostess table. It was very uncomfortable to sit there. read more

In town to visit our son and attend a Rays baseball game; we were on the hunt for local cuisine and found this place. We were warmly greeted upon entering and were seated quickly. Our server was pleasant and very attentive. I ordered French toast, my husband and son ordered omelets, and my daughter had sausage; the meals came with grits/hashbrowns, and wheat toast; my husband also ordered pancakes. Everything was simply yummy! A great breakfast place with a very laid-back atmosphere! read more

This has existed forever and a great stop or a breakfast, lunch and brunch. They've gone through an owner change, but nothing has changed in terms of food and service. You'll be greeted like you're family. Try their grilled cheese on white with bacon, onion and tomato, home fries and biscuits and gravy. read more

WOAH!! You know me and my mom been trying to come to this diner for years now. It has a very random time slot. We never could stop when its open due to work or family related responsibilities. My Diner Jesus must've been hearing my prayers!! I was driving the nurse staff crazy yesterday with me talking about food n restaurants while i waited for my turn. I was last surgery so I haven't eaten sense the day before n i get crabby the hungrier i get! So the more passionate i get of the food subject. While heading to Walgreens to drop off prescription the madam in drugs area told me it would take hours n i did notice the Diner was open!! So i started dropping very obvious hints to my mom n things that would make me happy like the ? DINER. That I wouldn't complain nor kick n scream if she force me inside lol so we went there cuz i think she heard me lol i been curious of what it would be! The business is heavy tinted, place looks like a breakfast club. They added cute outside sitting but i feel they need to invest on umbrellas or metal roofing for shade. Place is actually compact, be patient it is very popular when it's open. It has a great area to sell, right next to many retirement communities. While i waited a young man started chit chatting with me. He asked me if i been here before n I explained my journey trying to come before. He agreed that it has a random time set to lol. He also mentioned it has been bought by new owner so we will get lucky to better operational hours Yay! We were offer a tiny table n I agreed for it. We don't like confiscating big tables just for two. Sense i got a broken arm i was ok with the table to. They took drinks first n then the menu came. Their IJ taste fresh n very tarty. It delicious! Read the whole menu n was a bit stressed but mom found what i like best of other locations. The "sampler" mind you when im in pain my patience fluctuates a lot but i do my best to stay collected. I believe it was called; the new york platter" mom picked that one n i went with the Deluxe! The difference was the extra french toast! What better way to properly rate food n quality with a nice sampler. Mom stayed in traditional with, eggs, bacon, hah etc. I went the tomato slices instead of hash. Main dish rolled out, eggs were perfect to my liking; sunny side up is what i like. Nice tender whites and runny yolk to smear over my toast like egg jelly lol I behaved this time n didn't lick the egg off lol bacon was toasty n amazing to! Tomatoes nice n fresh. Not soggy which i like em in the crisp.m side. Toast was great to but the butter was fantastic! No need to add jelly. It was well saturated n the butter was tasty. I reminded the madam about mg french toast n after a while she came rolling in. She surprised me! She placed a medium growler on the table n i got excited! I thought she brought me a beer! Lol we laugh n she said no alcohol here. Also offered moonshine shits in the parking lol a joke of course. My brain was waIting for wink wink though lol nice single thick french toast. Gave me a full size slice. It looks like they make the bread or buy em uncut. It was easily 1.5 inches thick. Heavy powder sugar on top, n two butters.... I ate the F___k outa it. No butter no jelly. Just syrup layer n gobbled it hard! I know what i want next time lol. Will definitely come back for the lunch menu to. We had a little accident n the neighbors help us out cleaning the spilt juice. It's very nice to be surrounded by good folks to. Sound level was medium, most people were in their own zone. Not that loud n u can see n hear the staff being amazing to. The have handheld POS devices so they get the orders in straight to the computer. That's a good thing especially with how busy this business is. They can close out the tab to on the spot or at hub by door. We were on our way n in the duration of our visit i noticed everyone ate the hell outa their food. Waves of people coming in n some out. I really enjoyed my visit. I miss mom n pops type diners. They are my favorite types. U get country type if menus n local flavors to. You would never find in a corporate run establishment. Like i said in the beginning; have patience although the New York dinner is small? It packs a tittans punch! Food is amazing! Good place to take tour elderly for some delicious grub! To lazy to exit; the meal was called the Any time breakfast deluxe. Its hard to edit this with one hand P_P read more

We love to support small local diners. Took family out for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place was not busy. Service was not slow bad but okay. My girls ordered the original gyro and the Philly cheesesteak. ... It came with your choice of sides. So my girls got some fries and coleslaw and I got some onion rings on the side. The gyro and the Philly cheesesteak both were good but my onion rings were burnt and my coleslaw tasted really bad. We took a bite of the coleslaw and never touched it again. Has a weird taste. read more

I've been about 10 times. Each time something goes wrong. I'm done. Today I went in with my son and 2 grandsons. After the meal, I asked for a veteran discount as always, the waitress asked rudly is your son a veteran too. I said yes, a marine. So she brought the bill with only my son's meal discounted. Me and my grandsons meal was not. I'm a veteran too. Point is they are now only giving veteran discount to the veterans meal only. Too greedy. They are too expensive and now too greedy for me. Not going back. read more

Yummy! Very attentive and kind service. Old fashioned home made delicacy . Made you feel like you were having breakfast made by someone who loves to cook! I order the original 2 eggs any style with choice of ham, sausage or bacon. Also it came with grits, hash browns or home fries , your choice of toast and soda or coffee. It started my Day off right and I'm still full . Thank you Lisa and the girls for a scrumptious breakfast. read more

I'm from Philly and this hits all the right notes for me. I always get the Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese on a bagel and it takes me right back up north. The service is also outstanding. On the weekends you might have to wait a little bit for a table but honestly it's 100% worth it. Good things come to those who wait. The only thing that would put this diner over the top is if they had scrapple. If you know you know. Hopefully soon though. But don't sleep on this diner because all the additional food is AMAZING! I will definitely be back! read more

We came by to try after it changed owners. It was really cold so bring a sweater, several people were complaining but it did not seem to change. The new chef was saying it is her thirteenth day and her fault food was taking so long. We ordered veggie omlet no cheese but came with feta. They quickly remade and it was good. We also ordered chicken fried steak and gravy. It was fair and gravy was kind of bland. Coffee was good and kept full. Be sure to try the grilled blueberry muffin. They are going through some growing pains but miss the family feel it had before. read more

Little diner with friendly service. Sunday morning breakfast and the place was packed. Their breakfast coffee was surprisingly pretty good, and not a typical donut-house flavor. I had the Greek breakfast skillet and hubby had country fried steak. Both were decent, although I didn't get my hash browns darkened as requested. Our waitress was great, checked on us frequently and asked the right questions (ie: our OJ has pulp, is that ok? How are the hasbrowns?) I didn't tell her they weren't darkened, since they were served under a bed of tomatoes onions gyro and 2 eggs, they weren't going to be crispy no matter if they were darkened. Place is small, old and divey, but clean and kept. Two breakfast entrees, coffee and an tall oj for $23. Magic answer is... no. Food was diner decent along with everything else but I typically don't like diners as the food is just average and not worth a return visit. But by the full parking lot, I can see how there's an appeal to a different crowd than myself. read more

I went to this place on a weekend in the am. We waited maybe 15 minutes for a seat. It was well worth it. The place is setup like a Waffle House but that is only design. The staff was very welcoming. They made everyone feel like a regular. I love that about it. Which is one of the reasons that why I will be returning. The food was so good! There was so much flavor. My steak was cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend you checking this place out if you are in the area. read more

Sunday Breakfast. Second time here. First for breakfast. We arrived around 7:45am on a Sunday. Somewhat packed. Self seating... booths, tables and counter service available. There were about 5 two tops outside for seating. We chose a booth along the window. Clean and comfy. 50's dinner music played. Large menu with a variety to choose from. Very much a diner feel just missing the soda jerk, gals in Bobby socks and a couple of greasers . I started with a coffee ($2.25 free refills) and ordered the Redneck Benedict Skillet ($9.49) with my eggs over easy and a Short Stack Sweet Buttermilk pancake as a side($2.49) as I wanted to see if they are good enough to bring my 80 yr old dad all the way from Tampa cause pancakes are his jam! The meal was hot and very delicious. Pancakes were good however, maybe if it were my main meal, I would have experienced it hot or at least warm. Since it was a side order, it was room temp when I got to it. Overall, very nice place. Get here early if you don't want to wait as it gets packed fast! read more

Pretty sure it usta be a Waffle House but it sure ain't one now. Everyone was happy, food was great, they were nice to my kids. Could probably use a spit shine here and there, but a good diner is gonna have some miles on it. Don't be scared, git ya' some, you won't be disappointed! read more

No stars at all. We where giving our drinks by the bus girl. When we asked if we can place our orders, we where told she was not the waitress someone would be here shorty. We sat for 15 more mins. We had enough left $3 on the table for (2) teas a coffee and sweet tea. Oh should I have started with the race card 1st. Oh it's Juneteenth they don't serve us. Afro American that's what it seemed like. Won't be back ever. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME POST WITHOUT A STAR. NO STAR AT ALL. read more

We have been going to the New York Diner in Valrico for over 10 years and it has been our favorite local restaurant for breakfast. Laurie Conover was the owner when we started going there and she ran the restaurant very well. She sold the diner to her daughter and son-in-law but they ended up selling it back to her so they could pursue careers in law enforcement. Laurie again sold the restaurant but this time she sold it to one of her servers, Abby, and her husband, Jay. From there the service started to go downhill. Keep in mind we like everyone who works there including the servers we've had issues on service with. Of course, Betty Gilley and Laurie Conover are our favorites. Everyone no matter who they are or what their job is could always use improvement. They really have their act together and know how to multi-task while serving their customers. On one of our visits, we had a couple of friends with us. Our friend, Tina, ordered her meal ala carte but it was ordered to be eaten all at the same time together. She only received a portion of it and she also had no utensils. She had asked for utensils but it took a while. By the time she received the rest of her meal, the portion she received was cold. Tina pushed it back and told the server, Lisa, and said she didn't want it. About 3 or 4 weeks ago Darrell and I went to the New York Diner. When we sat down, we needed one set of utensils. Gabby was our server that day. We mentioned this to Gabby as we ordered our meals. I ordered 1 pancake and a side of ham. The syrup was brought to the table then Darrell's meal and my side of ham came. Darrell still needed a set of utensils. Eventually, everything came. My pancake was barely warm. We didn't say anything or complain but I was not happy. Last weekend we went to The New York Diner and the same exact thing happened, even at the same table but our server was Lisa. We ordered our breakfast and let Lisa know we needed another set of utensils. The drinks were served. Our orders were taken and again, we asked for another set of utensils. Darrell's order came and only my ham. We're still waiting for my pancake and a set of utensils. Darrell was quite upset and got up and went to our server Lisa who was at the register bs'ing. He loudly asked Lisa for a set of utensils and the rest of our order (my pancakes) which was sitting there waiting for her to bring to our table. The owner, Abby, came to our table with Lisa with the rest of our order but still no utensils. Abby wanted to know what was wrong. Darrell told her the food was cold now and he still didn't have any utensils and to take it back that he wasn't going to eat it. Abby told Darrell to calm down that she was there to help him. Abby said she'd take it off of our bill. We got up and went to the register still willing to pay for the meal that was prepared and Abby said you're good, no bill. Darrell and I went to the diner today, June 6, 2021. When I walked in, one of the owners, Abby, said she had two tables open to go ahead and sit down. I asked which tables Betty was working and Abby said to just sit where ever and Betty would wait on us. The owner's daughter brought us a menu and as we were waiting to have our order taken, Jay, the owner, leaned over the back of the bench and said he was not going to serve us because of Darrell blowing up about the pancake the week before. We got up and left. This is not the first time we've had issues there and not the only server but issues have happened more often with this same server. In my opinion, Abby tries to do too much but it affects her service. She has a hard time multitasking. Abby tries to wait tables, run the register, answer calls, and uber orders. In my opinion, Abby needs to concentrate on being a manager and seating customers, handling the register, incoming phone orders, and uber orders. After that, she should help where needed. When I was in my late teens and early 20's, I waitressed. I made sure each of my tables had everything they needed to enjoy their meal and each other. When they were done with something, I removed it from the table to give them space to relax so they to finish their meal or just visit after eating. I made sure their drinks were always full along with other server's tables. It's tricky to be attentive but not hovering. When I cleaned my tables I always made sure they were clean, re-set, and made sure the sugar, salt, and pepper were full. They say servers and former servers are the most critical to wait on. I'm critical but I overlook a lot and I am fair. It's sad to write this review. We have already had several friends state they have either stopped going there for the same reasons or will not go back there. Word of mouth is an important part of a business, especially a small locally owned business, and can make or break it. In today's world with so many social media outlets, that word of mouth spreads further than your person read more

Super fast service, but only because food is pre-made sitting on the flat top. LOTS of flies flying around. Made my stomach turn. Food is ok, nothing to write home about. The country fried steak was the size of a piece of toast. Ordered extra gravy but didn't seem to get much anyways. We were told the gravy was from a can, and they only have sausage gravy on "special occasions" - not sure what that means... Only saving grace was the everything bagel, which tasted pretty good. I would rather go to a Waffle House and pay less money. read more

Best breakfast, reasonable price, great food. We keep coming back and we've never left disappointed.

Glorified Waffle House. Breakfast was fine. Didn't like that the two cooks had one glove but were using both hands to touch food. Saw one cook taking tomatoes from a bin, using the non gloved hand, and then proceeded to dice them. Will not return. read more
