    Breakfast of champions! :) After our track club 4 mile Sunday morning hike.  (July 2019)
    Cam E.

    Tibbett Diner still thrives as our go-to reliable diner in Riverdale Bronx. Breakfast is a winner all day everyday. Brunch, Lunch and Dinner, plus the holidays. After a good run at Van Cortlandt Park or day of golf it's the best bet for nourishment and good times. We are loyal as are many. Service is swift and friendly. Expect a wait, but it's well worth it! Thank you

    In the years since my first review, I've never been disappointed by the food and service at Tibbett. Order the onion rings extra crispy and be wowed at how golden delicious they are. The fries are never greasy and I could eat them at breakfast, lunch, dinner -- heck even just for snack time! Great diner vibes and worth the wait in line.

    Irish Breakfast

    Average. Portion sizes on the smaller side (for a diner) and the food was okay. Not bad, not great, ok. They were slammed but it still took forever to be even recognized that we needed to order. Brown gravy was thin, Reuben was mostly sauerkraut, French fries were stale tasting, but overall it was...ok. Definitely not too pricey, which was a plus.

    Ham and cheese omelette with fries

    Classic diner that has the speedy service, large plates of food, and busy atmosphere of a place that's long been popular. We ordered typical diner fare, yet every fish coming from the kitchen that passed our counter seats looked fabulous, from steaks to sandwiches to eggs to lattes. I ordered crips potatoes, and my plates was laden with them, complimenting the omelette packed with spinach. The ham and cheese omelette was equally stuffed -- no skimping on these dishes. Prices were decent, reflecting the Bronx not Manhattan. So that plus the friendly faces on all around made for a refreshing, rewarding morning meal.

    The ambience is nothing at all fancy but has some nostalgia which is really nice as it's like an railroad car and so small but everyone is super friendly and the waitress is old school and pleasant, greeting everyone with a smile. The food is delicious, save your precious time not going to our LOCAL chains and instead get REAL pancakes, with REAL sausage... these pancakes are super fluffy and taste homemade, don't crumble apart when you cut into them. The BLT w/avocado was delicious... I will definitely be back... Keep in mind, it's small so it gets packed quick, especially on the weekends... they have minimal parking for about 7 cars on the sidewalk and there is also metered street parking as well.

    Soggy French Toast
    Khiyah S.

    If I could give them 0 stars I would. I'm visiting the Bronx and wanted a simple French toast topped with bananas. When I got my food it was soggy, it was distressful and I couldn't even swallow a bite after seeing how old those banana were. I also ordered corn beef hash and it was burned up. I'm questioning the quality, the chef, and management for not accommodating me after I spent my money. Y'all are lucky I threw the toppings away before taking this picture. Y'all should be ashamed for sending this kind of food out to peoples homes.

We benefited from her experience and good taste in guiding us through the menu. She ordered a caesar salad with grilled shrimp that looked divine! I love a good tuna melt and she said the Johnson had a good one- plain, but you can add whatever accoutrements you wish. I stuck with the classic and found it simple and satisfying She recommended one of the other salads (the asian salad) to my mom- with grilled chicken breast or shrimp. My mom's first job waitressing job in highschool was at a greek diner and upon discovering the Johnson Diner is greek, she had to try their Mousaka $21 served with a generous portion of greek salad. My mom enjoyed her Mousaka and said it had the perfect amt of cinnamon and spices- she ate the whole plate- she's usually a "take half home" eater- but said she wished she had ordered the salad as it looked fresh and light- and she felt full after the heavier Mousaka Maybe Mousaka for dinner, salads for lunch and brunch!

Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

It didn't open until 9am, but by the time we came around at 830am..the line was ALREADY poppin' lol. I was like okay...maybe it is really good. We got lucky as we were able to be seated in the first rounds of the tables that they had outside. We ordered the pancakes, wings and thai tea dessert. UNFORTUNATELY, for me, this place is OVERHYPED. Sure, the pancakes were soft and soaked with honey butter...but its really NOT THAT GOOD. I would never wait in line for this place. The wings were just meh...not really crispy, wasn't great as other korean wings I've had. The dessert was recommended and it was my least liked item ordered lol. All three items for a whooping $70.
