Chicken and waffles
Hector Luis A.

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!

Sunny side up eggs, hash browns & toast

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.

California omelette which has avocado, tomato, bacon and cheddar cheese! So good!

This place is a 10 out of 10. Great service and even better food! I had a California omelette which has avocado, tomato, bacon and cheddar cheese! So good!

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!

This place is great! Food is excellent. Came here with a party of 6, had a few different meals. My…read morewife hade the Cuban sandwich, excellent but $20, a bit pricey. I had the half chicken with rice and beans, may have been the best chicken I've ever had. Portion was huge. Everyone in party thought their meal was excellent. $16 cocktails Really friendly service but sloooow. Also at checkout had to ask server if gratuity had been already added. It had been..... credit card reader still had 20% and above tipping options.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Quaint neighborhood spot that's perfect for brunch. Came here on a Saturday and while the wait was…read moreabout an hr, there was plenty to do in the area to keep us busy. Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
