    Coming to this diner was a nod to my mom; her name's Tina and she used to love eating breakfast at local diners! So coming here was a treat already! The place has an old school feel to it, which I absolutely love! When I step into a diner, I want that classic 70s aesthetic with random framed pictures of old newspaper clippings and such! You know ow it's gonna be good! And sure enough, this place was excellent! Hearty, delicious breakfast was served by hard-working, attentive employees, that carried a smile the whole time! Needless to say, we'll definitely be back soon!

    Chicken and waffles

    I went to this place to eat some breakfast yesterday. I ordered the chicken tenders and waffles and they tasted great. The waffles tasted like buttermilk and the chicken tenders were well deep fried as well. This is definitely a good place to dine in!

    Tina's Place is an unassuming spot in Bushwick, bordering East Williamsburg. It is the perfect diner because it doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Very traditional, run by the same family for a looong time, and very delicious. I visited on a Sunday morning and it was packed before 10:30! They have a deal for a free coffee before 11am which could explain why. To me, the waffle menu didn't seem very exciting but we ordered the california (?) omelet and the blueberry pancakes. The omelet was really tasty, but it isn't a huge portion. Luckily, they had hot sauce out to go with it. There's also something about getting toasted white bread with butter that is surprisingly good. The blueberry pancakes were also good! Very classic, nothing fancy about it. Unfortunately I have a pretentious preference for fresh maple syrup, but I won't knock any stars off for a lack of finesse. The prices were really fair and it felt like you were going to a local spot which can be hard to find in this area. This is an easy five stars, and I will certainly visit again.

    Corned beef hash plate with over easy eggs
    Raul Q.

    This place has the feel of an old school diner. No frills diner with good food. Corned beef had seemed like it was from a can but still good. Potatoes cooked with onions, bell pepper, and a tomato sauce need salt but that was a minor fix Servers were very attentive and did well. Not bad for the most important meal of the day.

    Pancakes

    When you think of a NY Cade, this is exactly what you get. Busy, fast service, typical cafe food, reasonable prices. Despite the hustle and bustle we found a table prettt quickly and got assisted right away. Can't complain about the food, very homemade and tastes like cafe food should taste. I'd go back, just felt like a normal place locals go to eat.

    Meatloaf breakfast platter

    I didn't think much of the diner when I saw the pictures of the food and the interior but was curious about the high ratings. The breakfast was surprisingly great. The potatoes were well seasoned and golden, eggs over easy was runny, and the meatloaf was flavorful. I don't believe they serve free coffee before 11am anymore as I don't see it on the menu. I paid $1.50 for coffee and $11.50 for the meatball platter. Cash only establishment. Would definitely be back!

    Awesome diner that's been in Bushwick for over 80 years! It's a great spot for classic breakfast items and remains cash only. There is an ATM and they now have outdoor street seating. If you're hungry and don't want to spend a lot Tina's is a great spot to stop by.

    This my 10th time at Tina's ! The food is always consistent tasty and the prices ? Well amazing ! I had the meatloaf with eggs toast for $11.00 for lunch seriously $11:00 it was so good I'm smiling ! Tina Serves breakfast and lunch ! Place is always full !

    French toast and bacon
    Philip L.

    Food - the food was good the French toast was very tasty. I can taste the sweetness of it without any maple syrup added yet. The vanilla taste was there and hint of cinnamon which I like. The bacon was alright nothing crazy about it. The French fries were a let down as it was crispy and soft inside it was also flavorless I had to add a lot of salt to make it better. Overall do get the French toast it is worth it!! Service - the service was great. I felt invited as soon as I walked in I was greeted right away and told to sit anywhere. The server got me coffee real quick and got my order within 5 mins of sitting down. Food came out quick too. Scenery - the place is very classic vibes almost everything inside is made out of wood. The vibe I felt was welcoming and cozy. It was very hot in there since I was sweating a bit. But I did enjoy eating and chatting in there. Price - the price was amazing the whole made for me and my girlfriend was $33.50 before tip of course. For the food and service from this place it's worth every penny. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the neighborhood. Overall 4.2/5

    The Basic Meat
    Kait M.

    Very classic diner. Love the wall to wall wood paneling for a retro feel. Big portions for low prices and very fast service. I got "The Basic Meat" with eggs over medium and bacon and it came just how I like it. I see why it's a neighborhood staple!

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious. The sauce and the texture of the mushrooms were to die for. I've salivating thinking about them right now! The fish was also so amazing. The bottoms were so crispy, it was almost like it was a layer of potato chip! Really great texture, and the fish meat was cooked to perfection. Really sad that they're closing, but looking forward to whatever the chef/restaurant team does next!

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

Either way, the location is convenient if you need a coffee shop in Greenpoint if the neighboring shops are full. They do have a full menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner service. The prices match the location and the food looks good as there are always locals dining outside with their families and dogs. The space is spacious as well.

It was warm and flaky with the perfect amount of pistachio filling. I def savored each bite and contemplated getting another one but ultimately decided not to. My salad came out shortly after and was better than I expected. The croutons were ginormous but also seasoned and worth each bite. The salad was tangy and had plenty of shredded Parmesan, which I loved! I got a chance to talk with Sabino a bit before he left.
