    I occasionally stop by Uncle Bill's on the weekend when I'm headed to Flushing to go food shopping. There's plenty of parking available. It's busy on weekend mornings so we usually end up at a table instead of one of the booths. Today, from the weekend brunch menu, I ordered the Greek omelette with home fries, rye toast, and tea; and my SO ordered the Big Breakfast (2 eggs over medium, bacon, sausage, home fries, white toast, pancakes and coffee). The food came out after a little wait. The food was tasty and my home fries were well done as requested. My SO said his food was good and the meat was cooked well, but he mentioned that the home fries came out a little cold and the pancakes were a little dense. The servers came by several times to check on us and refill the coffee/hot water. Overall, Uncle Bill's is a solid breakfast/brunch spot (I've never visited here in the afternoon or evening, so I can't speak to their lunch or dinner offerings). The portions are pretty big, and with the bill coming out to $35.40, I feel we got our money's worth.

    Eggs over easy, home fries well done the way I like it, and some bacon. The other plate was in order of Belgian waffles with some bacon.

    this is a solid diner. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food is solid. The place is pretty clean. There's plenty of parking in a very ugly shopping center parking lot. That's the big downside to coming here. Outside of the place is kind of gross., but once you get inside, you're fine.LOL

    We were craving diner food and came here in the afternoon on a Sunday right at the tail end of lunch rush. We were seated after waiting a few mins and the service was very friendly. We ordered a milkshake, hot tea, chicken lemon soup, a chicken parm sandwich and gyro wrap. I thought everything was delicious with the exception of my soup, which was lukewarm and I prefer it piping hot. We had more than enough food and took home what we couldn't finish as leftovers. Overall we had a pleasant experience and would come back to try other items on the menu.

    My family LOVED this diner because not only were the portions big, but the staff was so attentive and caring. We were seated within minutes and decided to order what we wanted. All of the food came out hot and we loved how generous they were with the amount of food they gave. As a classic diner lover, my cravings were fulfilled. The ambiance was amazing too with lots of people when we visited over the weekend. We will definitely be back for more eats! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    We wanted to go somewhere that was open early, and we came across this spot. We got there at 10 a.m., and the restaurant was almost full, with only two to three tables left. We immediately noticed that it was very busy and couldn't help but feel a little cramped in terms of the seating and the servers walking around. We were given the breakfast menu and ordered two large orange juices, steak & eggs, and a big breakfast platter. Both entrées came with buttered toast with a side of grape jelly. The steak & eggs came with home fries, and we requested the steak to be cooked to medium and the eggs to be scrambled. The big breakfast platter came with eggs, home fries, two sausages, two pieces of bacon, and two pancakes. We also got these eggs as scrambled. The food tasted like typical diner food, and we think that their sausage and home fries stood out the most. Overall, we thought that this diner was a little more pricey than usual; however, we would come back for a quick diner meal.

    What we actually got!

    Their Big Breakfast is really good. We get it most weekends, BUT, today I thought I would just get a sandwich and onion rings listed as "sliced onion coated in a savory batter". WRONG!!!! It was deep fried ring shaped onion flavored mush! At a cost of $7.25!!! VERY. disappointed!

I dine here frequently, so I am familiar with the typical portion sizes. The meal I received was noticeably smaller than what is normally served. To the server's credit, she acknowledged the issue and offered to have it corrected without hesitation. The more concerning issue involved my friend, who politely requested plastic utensils. She was told they were only available for takeout orders. Due to a medical condition, she does not use reusable utensils in restaurants. We have never encountered this issue at any other restaurant. As a result, we were unable to comfortably dine in. When I spoke with the manager, I explained that refusing a reasonable accommodation was inappropriate. His response was, "You never told me that," referring to my friend's medical condition. To be clear, customers should not be expected to disclose or justify their private medical information in order to receive a simple accommodation. We ultimately packed up our food and left because no effort was made to resolve the situation. Additionally, I had placed a separate takeout order before all of this occurred, but it was never entered into the system. When the check arrived, I was confused as to why the order was missing. To make matters worse, I was informed that I could not order an item from the children's menu as a takeout meal for my daughter. This policy was surprising, as I have never experienced such a restriction at any other restaurant. Overall, this was a very disappointing visit. While I appreciate that the server was willing to correct my meal, the lack of reasonable accommodation, poor communication, and multiple service issues left us with a negative experience. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and reevaluates both their policies and their approach to customer service.

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.
