    Linzer Tart

    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
    Abbe K.

    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.

The interior was cozy and old-school with beautiful stained glass pendant lamps. They didn't have specialty coffee drinks, so I just got a Cold Brew with oat milk. The three of us ordered a bunch of food to share - the Honey Butter Pancakes, Sam's Tuna Melt, Matzoh Ball Soup, and a side of Crispy Chicken. The famous pancakes really were delicious! I loved the lemon zest and fluffy texture. But the Tuna Melt honestly stole the show for me! It was easily the best Tuna Melt of my life, and normally I never crave them. This one was just so well-crafted and I loved the crunchy salt & vinegar chips inside. The Matzoh Ball Soup was also solid and the Crispy Chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. We definitely over-ordered when it came down to quantity, but the meal was fantastic!

Got…read morethere around 8:50am and there was a huge line at the door with no proper delineation or signage of how someone with a reservation should approach the staff or form a line or anything. Was very confusing and didn't make sense to stand in the huge line if you have a reservation. I walked in (the door was open and a few employees were standing around). I approached someone holding an iPad who looked like the host and asked what I was supposed to do. They said to stand in the long line. I mentioned I had a reservation, but they insisted I should stand in the long line. I was worried standing in the line was going to be a mistake because once the clock strikes 9am and they start letting people in we'd be all the way at the back of the line and get missed or not hear any announcements about people with reservations (it's very loud in the area, especially due to a train passing by every few minutes). So I make my wife stand in the line just in case and I stand near the front in case they make an announcement for people with reservations. Guess what, the clock strikes 9am and they make no announcement or anything. They just start taking people waiting in line (who don't have a reservation) with no regard for people who made a reservation. I had to interrupt the host at the podium for them to even notice me standing nearby and mention I had a reservation. The host then kind of had some attitude, but we were seated. I was so surprised that after being open for so long now and being so hype they don't know how to properly manage their reservations. Or maybe they just don't care?? Well if I listened to the employee that told me to wait in the line, I would have totally missed the boat and been disappointed. They would have just let in all the people waiting in line and the restaurant would have been full by the time I got to the front. I'm glad I had a backup plan in this case, but I was so disappointed in their way of handling the situation. Basically if you have a reservation, especially at 9am when they open, DON'T wait in the long line and miss your reservation. Wait by the podium and interrupt them when they start taking people from the line and mention you have a reservation. Unfortunately they didn't do a good job of having a proper process for reservations :( Super sad especially because of all the hoops you have to jump through to even get lucky enough to make a reservation via RESY. Once we sat down, the waitstaff there was not very friendly or welcoming either. The guy that took our order was the one that have me the wrong information to stand in line. He even had attitude while taking our order and we felt rushed. As for the food, of course we wanted to try the famous pancakes. I will say, for the novelty they are worth trying, especially if you like the honey flavor. I personally like the maple syrup flavor more. The texture of the pancake is super unique, it's dense and fluffy, but the edges have a nice crisp. Was happy that they served it hot and fresh. But they are inconsistent on how much syrup they put on the pancake. Mine was swimming in syrup and my wife's had a moderate amount. I would have preferred less syrup as it was way too much the way they served it to me. Overall, not my favorite pancake ever, but I understand why people may enjoy it. 3/5 stars. The egg sandwich we got was pretty pathetic though. The flavors were super basic and it just felt clumpy and heavy. 2/5 stars. We also got brewed coffee and asked for half and half, but were given milk instead. Coffee ultimately didn't taste good at all. What diner doesn't have half and half for their coffee?? 1/5 stars. Overall, I'd say there are better places for breakfast in NYC with better service. Come here to try the pancake if you must, but beware they don't really care about you as a customer.
