A great diner in the traditional style: stainless steel exterior and homemade comfort food. Great prices and a great friendly staff. I love the turkey club, the fish dinners and the breakfast menu. You cannot go wrong here. And in the summer they have fresh made blueberry tarts with blueberries grown on the property! read more

I love diners and Always went to the ones in Manhattan so I search and I found this small gem. I love the service, the food, the environment I love the small garden in front. Every time we go to eat and feel like eating breakfast in the afternoon this is the spot. Love it!!!! read more

I ordered breakfast here and got 2 orange juices They did not say they wouldn't be natural. And when they arrived I was greeted by Tropicana orange juice. Please be more mindful of your menu as long as the quality of food you serve your clients. Orange juice shouldn't be Tropicana. Or should be orange juice- read more

Pancakes! The fluffiest pancakes I have ever gotten in my life. I loved the old classic diner feel and was super ecstatic about the prices. I was distracted a few times looking at a older gentleman taking the bottom of the mashed potatoes and slamming it back on top of the potatoes. You will see a very eclectic mix of people in the diner which will make it the best place to people watch as well. read more

Rude and over priced. Didn't even order. Totally ruined my morning. Will not be back !

Affordable prices, Good service, big menu, very busy, but the food was disappointing not meeting the 4.5 star expectation. Cuban sándwich was microwaved and home fries were dry and unseasoned. Omelette was mediocre and overcooked. Fr personal experience wouldn't recommend read more

I'll start out by saying that this use to be a regular spot for us for a few years when we moved to the area. We hadn't been there since the 2020 shut down. My in laws decided to treat us to breakfast today and they chose here. Our server was wonderful, she really was apologetic for the following incident which really wasn't her fault. We sat down towards the windows, and after a few seconds in the table tipped over, spilling coffees, water, and juice all over. My jacket was soaked! Luckily it was over my lap otherwise I would've gotten burned. Coffee spilled all over my beige Ugg boots, my mother in laws boots too. The owner/manager came over and instead of apologizing and being concerned, he kept being accusatory saying "well someone must've kicked the piece of wood I had underneath". I know for a fact that no one did such thing, and I also know that it's dangerous to rely on a piece of wood to hold up a table. I felt that he was very rude and did not try to remedy the situation. I will say that they deducted the item that I ordered, but honestly his behavior was very off putting. I'll add again that our server was extremely apologetic and felt really bad. She kept coming over to see if I was ok. He never came back for anything. Businesses have no qualms raising prices, they should also invest in proper furniture that is safe enough to enjoy your meal. read more

Not a lot if diner choices in Riverdale section of the Bronx. Sadly, this was our closest option to our location near the Spuyten Duyvil train station. This place knows how to write an order but they don't know how to follow an order and get it done right. I ordered three eggs scrambled, extra ham, fried onions and peppers in a wrap. The waiter took the order without fail but there must have been some miscommunication with the waiter and the cook. I ended up with three flecks of ham that required a search party to find and what looked like two eggs instead of three. I also learned that there are no shortage of potatoes at diners because 75% of the container was filled with them next to my tiny wrap. They failed to give me those additions but they sure didn't fail to charge me $9.00 for the wrap for those additions. The waiter and the cashier had to try to figure out what to charge me, leaving the cashier to give a major sigh of annoyance for having to be put through that Euclidian mathematics problem. The ability for diners to get any additions or subtractions to orders done correctly is paramount to diner quality. It's one of the reasons why people go to diners in the first place. Ample parking is another reason. Whoever designed the lot to this establishment didn't do a real good job of it. Of the few spots they have, one of the spaces had a fire hydrant blocking it. Pulling out of the spots requires careful technique because you are backing out into oncoming street traffic. I know it sounds like I'm pitching a bitch but it's not like this place doesn't deserve it. I call it like I see it. read more

Came here yesterday for brunch. Was extremely busy but still we waited less than 10 mins to be seated. Service is excellent. Food tasted really good and the portion size is perfect - not too much food which i often find diners do I loved it. A really cozy cute interior too. I will be coming back soon read more

Best French toast ever! I'd been craving French toast for a few days and needed some. Decided to stop here for breakfast- coffee, OJ, bacon, eggs and French toast - I know it's a lot of food. Breakfast is my favorite meal. It was super busy but I sat at the counter and the service was speedy and friendly. And my food was out within 5 minutes. Everything was amazing! I'd definitely come back! read more

Pros: (+) They have a parking lot (+) Buttermilk pancakes are delicious (+) Inexpensive (+) Fast service (+) Small Parking Lot Cons: None ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love this diner. Still has it's original old school feel to it with it's cushioned booth seats, breakfast bar area and everything else which makes this diner look really cute. Parking is never an issue, which is great. You can park either on the street or on their small parking lot that holds about 8-10 cars. The food is inexpensive, the service is fast, the food is tasty and what makes diner food, diner food. read more

Thanksgiving 2018: plans to meet friends fell through but wife and I were in the mood for traditional American T-day fare. The Tibbett had it all covered - juicy turkey with fine gravy, delicious stuffing with chestnuts and cranberries - totally passable mashed potatoes - side of veggie choices (we went with string beans, flavored and cooked soft the way I like 'em); cranberry jelly, a glass of wine, slice of pie, and coffee/tea; OH and soup or salad starter (I had a fine cream of turkey soup). All for $23.99, no charge for a sharing plate -- wife & I are moderate eaters--and no shitty attitude from waiter when we said we'd be sharing. Began with a round of warm delicious bread/breadsticks, all delivered with speedy, smiling service in this old-school, tiny diner (with parking--granted, a tiny lot, but street parking is always available). I've been a regular for breakfast for 20 years, but now stopping by for a weekly dinner too after this fine, heartfelt Thanksgiving feast.. Let's support these little old family-owned diners and hope they stick around--a place with genuine New York feeling and atmosphere in a world that's getting more homogenous and corporate. (Starbucks, chain joints,...no thanks!) read more

Best open secret in Riverdale. You would not know how great this place is from the outside. It looks like any diner but it is so much more. The menu is extensive, and features loads of fish. I've been back twice and have gotten the Sea Bass both times. It's bone-in, ridiculously fresh and almost floating in seasoned butter. Most entrees come with choice of potato, vegetable, and soup or salad. Prices are great for what you get. read more

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Clean. Excellent spot. I enjoyed the pasta, the fish and the breakfast is always great. read more

Delicious little spot - the place is clean and the food is fresh. It's a good breakfast spot with friendly staff

This place seems like a neighborhood staple. I found it interesting that the servers knew the customers by their first name. They already knew what kind of drink they wanted as they sat down. It was like Cheers in a diner version. I ordered the french toast with scrambled eggs, toast, chamomile tea and apple juice. I actually prefer diners over places like iHOP. Its more authentic and personable. My uncle lives close by and recommended this place. I'd come back although I've had better french toast. The establishment was clean, the service was fast, the food was good and parking was available. What more can you ask for from a diner?! read more

Tibbett Diner - Chamomile tea - Diners Near Me - Bronx, New York

DOES NOT HONOR VETERANS?!! This has been my favorite diner for the past decade, but when I asked a simple question I got the surprise of my life on Veterans Day. The manager/owner first acted like he wasn't there when I asked "are you doing anything for veterans today?" After saying 'No' he goes on to say 'I'm a veteran too and nobody did anything for me'. Talk about No Class whatsoever. This hurt real bad being a Marine Vet. The male waiter did offer to pay for my breakfast after the exchange of words but my appetite was gone so I settled for a coffee. I'll never eat there again. I'll miss the friends I made eating there. read more

Tibbett Diner - Diners Near Me - Bronx, New York

So I had to go to the Bronx after a strenuous work out at the gym. So at the request of a friend decided to go to this diner. Now mind you I am spoiled with the diners in Queens, so this was going to have to be above average to make me happy. All that in mind, let's cut straight to it. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was moderately full. Saw some plates and they looked decent enough, so my hopes were up. Maybe I am used to big menus over in Queens, but the menu here was lacking and it's choices left a lot to be desired. After about 10 mins of looking for something appealing to magically appear, I asked the server if he had grilled chicken breast. He points out a sandwich off the menu, then again a wrap. So after explaining a chicken breast meal. He suggested a salad with a slice of chicken on top. "Ok, sounds simple enough!" My friend ordered the chicken wrap with fries. If I told you the best part of our meals was her pickle, you wouldn't believe me. The food was bland. The lettuce brown. Just not good food. This was a once and never again thing because I'll never eat at a diner in the Bronx again. Or at least not here. Definitely not a good diner. read more

The lobster is good, I don't get the stuffing that they put inside the lobster. It tastes good without it. The breakfast is good. I get the potatoes with turkey sausage and over easy eggs. It comes with toast. They're really good with timing when it comes to delivery. read more

We ate lunch there today and we were very pleased. We each had a lunch special, priced at $8.50 and $8.25. I had the spinach pie and my husband had their popular (Fridays only) chicken pot pie. My serving portion was quite sufficient, but my husband's was *very* generous. The specials came with either a cup of soup or a small salad. I chose the soup, and happily today's was New England clam chowder (very good). Both of our main dishes were delicious. The bread was nearly tasteless, although at least it was warmed up somewhat. Our server was friendly & feisty and the busboys were very friendly. We met one of the owners and he was also very friendly. One thing we discovered upon receiving the bill: drink refills aren't free (as with my husband's iced tea). Others have mentioned the age factor of most customers, and indeed we were the youngest there (in our mid & late 50's [although let me say that I don't look my age; ha ha]). However, everyone seemed to be a "regular" and the staff greeted them warmly. We really liked that aspect. We sat in a booth and it was comfortable. Also, their menu is huge. Fortunately we were able to get a parking space in their (small) lot. At one point a man walked in and he looked like the actor Robert Prosky, so I couldn't resist asking him if that's who he was. It turned out that he was indeed an actor (although not Mr. Prosky) and he'd been in a few movies. read more

It's a diner. If you grew up in the Westchester area at all, you'll recognize this as any other diner you've ever been too. Same menu, same food. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of diner food, just don't go here expecting anything out of the ordinary. We got a chicken parm (with a side of over cooked pasta, again very typical diner fare!) and a Ruben. Asked for well done fries. They were semi crispy. Definitely have had crispier at other diners. Quick warning for those driving to tibbits, there is a private lot, however there's only a few spots as far as I was able to tell, so you'll probably need to find street parking. The place is on the small side as well, but chances are if there is a wait, you won't have to wait long since diner food is usually a notoriously quick turn around. read more

Tibbetts Diner is one of the best places in the Bronx reminds me of the diner in the movie the blob with Steve McQueen gets trapped but the food is unmistakably fabulous the best food ever homemade fresh vegetables real potatoes and real mashed potatoes not that instant stuff you get in other diners the staff is fantastic the waitresses are beautiful so polite You will not be disappointed that is for sure I give this place five stars if I could give it more I would very truly yours Mr. James M Monaghan read more

This is the cutest diner I have ever eaten in... situated and hidden north of Manhattan, on the border of the Bronx this place is so picturesque... it's small and perfectly simple yet maintained that rustic NYC Diner style ambiance... The price is also very affordable... I was looking for a place to have good quality breakfast and found this through Google map... It has a very small 7 car parking in front but tons of street anyway... I came on a Monday morning and it wasn't busy; I could only imagine it if it where... but nonetheless. This place is very nostalgic; reminds me off old NYC neighborhood diner and the frequent patrons just made my experience all the more awesome... the staff was very attentive and courteous... The place is clean and that's a huge plus for me... the seats are worn but still maintained well... (no I don't mean they held it up with tape) it's quite affordable and a great lil hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the big city... give it a shot if you find yourself in the area and want some quality solitude time with yummy breakfast.... read more

Tibbett Diner - my view from my booth so small yet intimate and cozy... big plus is its CLEAN!!! - Diners Near Me - Bronx, New York

I highly recommend Tibbett Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their wraps are fantastic. I had the honor of meeting many of the employees and owner of this diner when I moved into the neighborhood in 1997 and transferred to teach at a nearby middle school from my former JHS in district 4 in 2004. I know my former colleague will recommend the split pea soup and I recommend the chicken rice/noodle soup. Yes, the burgers are super delicious as well. I still go down once in awhile for breakfast or lunch. Usually I call and have dinner delivered to my apartment. I enjoy their fresh roasted turkey, especially at Thanksgiving. The food is delivered fast and is always hot enough and does not require heating. My favorite pastry is their homemade apple turnover. Their breakfast specials are reasonably priced and they make a good cup of coffee. You won't go wrong ordering any of the sandwiches on the menu. read more

This place is exceptional in every way. First and foremost, their food is delicious and fresh. I've had several of their menu items and they never disappoint. From the traditional diner breakfast fare (eggs, pancakes, sausage, omelettes), to the club sandwich platters, to the wraps (Greek wrap is the bomb), *everything* that I've had here slaps. To boot, the service is friendly and quick. A+ in every way. read more

Decent family diner with a nice menu. Being a southern boy I am always disappointed when I can't get grits with my eggs. With some seasoning, or just salt and pepper would make big difference with their meal preparation, but I guess that's how they like it since the place was crowded. Parking is limited by the dinner so either get there early or be ready to walk your meal off afterwards. read more

You can't beat this place for quality, quantity and freshness. Tibbett Diner is our go-to place for dinner at least once a week, and breakfast whenever we eat breakfast out. Their fish dishes are outstanding, with thier fresh fish purchased every day, their pasta dishes are abundant, well-cooked, and so tasty, my favorite is the "baked ziti Sicilian" (with eggplant)...I cant believe I ate the whole thing. Every now and then Tibbetts has lobster, as fresh as the ones we eat in Maine. Service is friendly and fast and prices are better than almost anywhere you can find in the five boroughs. We really love Tibbetts. read more

Owner was rude to start with. "Western" sandwich was one watery egg, no other noticeable ingredients. Toast was burnt. Service was awful. Definitely batting zero when you eat here. read more

Will not come back here again. The waiters have attitudes, diner could use an overhaul with cleanliness and they are not customer friendly. I ordered tea (earl grey) along with milk. The milk was not fresh so I asked the waiter for another tea bag - he said "you will be charged for 2 tea bags..." Really? I did not drink the spoiled tea. What kind of place treat customers like this? The food was so-so - I did not like how the waiter took the English muffin out of the toaster with his hands and not wearing gloves. Riverdale Diner is down the street; I'd recommend that! read more

We recently moved to the area but have dined here a few times. This family owned diner is great! The owners and staff are friendly and attentive. They do get busy sometimes so having to wait a few mins for food sometimes happens but not too often. Great place for breakfast and lunch! read more

This diner has been great for something like 2 decades in my experience. I've eaten half the menu over the years, it's all good. They really run a fine business. Very good quality food and service at reasonable cost. read more

I've been to the start of the few times the dinner was very very good there recently I had lunch there with a friend and their food is fresh much better than I would've expected. It's centrally located not far from the one train so it's walkable and it's on the way to everywhere so very centrally located. The only thing that's strange about the restaurant is if they only have Pepsi and no Diet Coke but that's not a big deal. The waitresses are nice they're friendly it's clean and their sirloin burger is quite good. read more

I moved to the Bronx this year, and found that this was the most consistently decent diner in the area. I went with my fiancee a few times a month, up until my last experience. I have a serious nut allergy. This is very common, and most places are very accommodating. I had always ordered breakfast foods until this particular day, when I decided to have the roast turkey. Roast turkey. When have you ever ordered roast turkey, and had nuts in it? Of course, I found out the hard way that this particular roast turkey did indeed have walnuts in some sort of stuffing found underneath. I ate a few bites, and immediately I knew I had eaten nuts, because I started to feel sick. I alerted my server, and simply asked for him to take back my turkey and remove it from my check. The server went to ask his manager for permission to do that. The manager was standing maybe 10 feet away from me, behind a partial dividing wall, and I could clearly see him whispering to my server, and shaking his head, occasionally glancing over at me. The server, of course, came back to me with his manager's "generous" offer of reducing the price of my meal to the price of a sandwich, since I had eaten some. Never mind the fact that I'm heading to the hospital upon leaving because they decided it would be a great idea to not inform their customers of NUTS in their TURKEY. I mean, it's not like I ordered pecan pie here. Anyway, I got the manager's attention myself, and asked him to come over to the table (since he is already watching this transaction like a hawk from 10 feet away, we may as well cut out the middle man). I explained the situation, and the fact that my throat was swelling more by the minute, and that ALL I WANTED was for him to remove that one item from my check. I didn't ask for a free meal; my fiancee had certainly enjoyed her whole meal, and I did have a bialy and some coffee, all of which I intended to pay for. The manager's response alone is the reason I will never go back to Tibbett Diner in my life: "Fine, you don't wanna pay, you piece of s***?? Then leave! Get out of my restaurant!" So, I did. Permanently. I could never support a business run by someone like that, regardless of how good the food is. Go somewhere else. Anywhere. read more
