Whitestone Diner is our family's "go-to" diner when we all want different foods. One person could order a speciality salad, while another could order a Thanksgiving style turkey dinner, or my favorite, a really terrific cheeseburger deluxe! All were delicious! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5, has to do with the one item which we do not plan to order again--chicken fingers. However they are so many good choices, we will never go hungry! read more

I was shopping nearby and decided to stop here to pick up some lunch. I tried the chicken noodle soup, BLT, disco ( cheese and gravy) fries and a strawberry milkshake. Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the disco fries and milkshake and my husband raved about the BLT. The girl who took my order was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Hands down best burger , my go to when it's lunch time, they usually add all the toppings on side, but they're always nice to fix it up for me read more

First time at this diner. Service was good and it looks clean. I took a star off because I saw my hamburger and salad sitting there on the counter for a good 10+ minutes before the waitress actually served it. The diner was not busy at the time either. Their Cobb salad was good and tasty but the burger was no longer hot off the grill. Prices here are reasonable. The burger and salad bill was less than $22 before tip. read more

I came here with my family for a birthday breakfast. Off the bat, the service was great. She took all our drink orders and quickly returned to take our food orders. She was very attentive throughout the whole dine in experience. Their coffee was strong which is always a plus. I ordered two eggs over easy with well done bacon and toast on the side. I also ordered a side of French toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was very crispy. The French toast was nothing very impressive, I have had better French toast in other diners. The only downfall of this place are the prices; they are a bit ridiculous. An egg omelette can cost $15-17 which I think is super expensive for an omelette. read more

We came for dinner on a Thursday night and was seated right away. We ordered an order of mozzarella sticks to start and a chicken souvlaki platter and chipotle bacon burger with sweet potato fries as our mains. Mozzarella sticks and burger were excellent and the highlight of our meal. I was expecting a little more flavor on the chicken for the chicken souvlaki platter at a Greek diner but overall not bad. Service was pretty good, found the prices to be a little on the higher end for a no frills diner although the portion sizes were decent. read more

Out of date, washed up and in need of some change. Their food is a hit or miss. The garnish used on some dishes are so unlatching and out of style you'd think you're being served in the 70's. Been here before, know what to expect and will be back again because it's not THAT bad, and it's definitely not THAT good either. It's just something to walk in and not have high expectations. Their portions are large, but so not worth the price. Stay FAR away from their Jumbo Bagel. It is t jumbo, and it comes on a desolate plate with a big square of fake cream cheese that YOU have to spread. It was SUCH an eyesore. But it's a diner. Go for the breakfast 100%! read more

Came in around 12 on a Friday, we sat right down for a table of two. My friend got the avgolemono soup , which she does recommend. The orange juice is fresh and delicious. The avocado omelette was good, you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The avocado toast was as clean as you'd want it and tasty ! The corn beef hash tasted how it looks. I would not recommend it. read more

I had an appointment with my cardiologist in March when Covid hit, so it got cancelled and finally rescheduled to his Whitestone Office yesterday. After finally finding non metered parking in the neighborhood (that took a few minutes), I spied this place while walking to his office. After my examination, where my pulse, blood oxygen, blood pressure and EKG all came back aces, I of course decided to stop at the diner to celebrate with a heart attack special, The French Toast Lumberjack. Due to Covid, they have outdoor seating in their quite spacious backyard. Service was attentive and the French Toast Lumberjack was delicious. I'll be back in six months after my next cardiologist appointment. read more

Incompetent idiots run this place. We ordered dinner about an hour ago. I asked my wife to order me a pizza burger with no lettuce or tomato. I know lettuce and tomato doesn't normally go on pizza burgers, but people who run diners are barely smarter that Carny folk, and I wouldn't order a burger from a guy running a cotton candy machine or Tilt A Whirl. My wife even commented that lettuce and tomato aren't served with Pizza Burgers. I asked her to humor me, because I've dealt with idiots before and she complied. When she relayed the message, no lettuce and tomato, she was met with, "lettuce and tomato doesn't come with a Pizza Burger". My wife asked for the total, so we could add the tip, the moron couldn't figure it out and had to call me back. He called back, $41.00, I said add $15.00 tip. My wife asked why I'd add almost 50% for a burger and spinach pie, I said, when I order, I want it done right. 15 minutes later, the burger arrived WITH LETTUCE AND TOMATO. This place is a joke. When I called to complain, the arrogant asshole acted as though I was wrong and hung up on me. When I called back they told me to dispute the charge with my bank. I just tried, but the charge is pending and I can't dispute it until tomorrow, which I will. Overall, we've been coming here for years, but it's always after we've run out of options. It's always a last resort, " I guess we'll have to go with the diner ". Never again. read more

Pretty good diner. Went in the late afternoon during the weekend, and the server was quick to accommodate us, and answered our many questions. It does look pricey when you first look at the menu, but the portions are big. There's an outdoors area which is nice if you want a change in scenery. I tried their European frappe, and was super strong! read more

Place was good. Easy to get there but parking not so much! Public parking near by was full so just found street parking 4 blocks down. Food was good. They bring you some mini muffins to start. Nice touch! Waitress was friendly and helpful. They have quite a full tables inside and it was not too packed. I ordered the special it had a lot of strange veggies paired together. It came with home potatoes and toast. I feel like I paid more than I usually would. But maybe that's cause the area. read more

I'm not normally one to complain about anything in regards to pricing, but this is an absurdity. I live in New York City. There are a million diners, and I've eaten at quite a few of them. I try to stay away from potatoes. They lay heavy. Fried to death, so I order two eggs and bacon, and ask them to 86 the potatoes and sub veg. I've done this at what feels like 100 different diners before. Waiter made no mention of an up charge at all. There was an upcharge. A VERY large one. This was predatory. This was deceptive. I will not be back again, and I suggest that if you decide to eat here, you should absolutely ask about upcharges yourself before getting surprised. I absolutely cannot recommend. Average food, deceptive billing. Stay far away. read more

Came here with my family for Mother's Day Breakfast. A lot of places that serve eggs are not open surprisingly earlier in the morning but this place was. I would give this place 3.5 stars if possible, but the service has to make me round down. Pros: The pre meal bread is some kind of muffin and they were amazing. The food was pretty good and comes in large portions. I got the corned beef hash and it was quite tasty, although the hash browns were just so so in my opinion. Besides our own server, everyone else was friendly and nice. Cons: Their homemade jam just seems like watered down versions of actual jams. Our own server was never there to help us, though we were able to ask for extra coffee / other things from the other servers in the area. Hash browns were a little bland. Overall, a pretty good diner. I think it was a crapshoot with the service we got, so perhaps coming back another time might change my mind. read more

This place will be or should be out of business soon. 2 eggs, corn beef hash and sausage...$20.. GTFOH. Not when there are other diners around, and plenty of other places to get breakfast..I pay a maximum of $11 from any of the other places. The food definitely wasn't worth that price.. read more

2 eggs ham coffee and toast..$20.09 plus tip..$24 for breakfast?. An absolute ripoff. Yes prices have gotten steeper but this is absurd

I no longer live in NY and my new hometown in the south doesn't have diners. So whenever visiting NY I love eating at a traditional Greek diner. Was in town today and stumbled upon this place and decided to try it. The experience was wonderful. The Chicken Souvlaki platter was out of this world. The amount of food was huge! The chicken was seasoned to perfection, the rice and Greek salad that accompanied it was superb. It was one of the best meals I've had. Will definitely be returning on my next visit to try something different! read more

Great food, excellent service, clean bathrooms, reasonable prices. Was there 2 days ago, found an easy parking space, our waitress, Sylvia, was fast and helpful. All 3 in our party loved their choices: swordfish with garlic lemon sauce, meatloaf with mushroom sauce ( and plenty of fresh mushrooms), a pastrami rueben. Plus very tasty coffee! read more

Found this place from visiting a local nursing / rehab facility in the area. Good to fair service and food, but recently went on a Sun am for breakfast and ordered a combo special with a side dish. The waitress, broke my order up into individual pieces and charged me for each dish, 3x the cost. I wasn't happy about that and won't return to sit in, and if I do go back it will be for a single item to go. They had a chance to show me their business ethic and they failed. read more

I love this cute tiny diner! I kept driving by this place until finally I was like I need to try it. This place although a diner it doesn't have that gross diner feel . It's super clean and the menu is just enough to not make you turned off. The waiting service is kind and prompt. Once your coffee and tea are served they brought these little complimentary muffins with homemade marmalade that is pretty tasty. The breakfast was great. The eggs we're made properly to my liking and the home fries are tasty as well. Not dry. The bacon was great also. It wasn't the thin and cheap type. I enjoy this little gem. Thankfully I've never had a bad experience and will continue to go. The only thing that is a downfall is the parking. The parking is metered so that is a bit annoying. You can try to find parking around the neighborhood but its not that easy. read more

This is a pretty solid choice if you just want a quick meal & nothing fancy. I love coming here for breakfast/brunch because they have a variety of options. I recently came & tried their avocado toast .. amazing! It comes with 2 slices of toast topped with a fried egg, ton of avocado, onions & tomatoes plus a side of home fries. If you get it from their brunch menu it comes with a mimosa, fruit salad or orange juice & coffee or tea. I had to dock one star because the home fries weren't that great imo as compared to other diners I've been to. Other than that, they're not cheap at all when it comes to the food & everything is reasonably priced. The service is always great & fast. Ample parking in the front as well. read more

I usually never write bad reviews, but enough is enough! I have ordered from this diner many times and the OWNER is sooooo rude! The first time he was rude I placed an order that took forever to come and when he got to the door he told me in the future to NOT order past 6:00 p.m. because he "wanted to get home to his family and that he has other orders". Meanwhile, the diner closes at 10pm! Clearly, he doesn't appreciate business! I still gave him the benefit of the doubt and figured he was just having a bad day. Unfortunately, the next two times I ordered he continued to have a poor attitude and speak to me in a disrespectful way! This morning, I placed an order at 11 a.m. and it did not come until 1:15 p.m. He called me because he did not know how to get into my building. As I tried to talk and explain it to him he literally interrupted me, yelIed at me to "OPEN THE DOOR". I am appalled and do not deserve to be treated in this way. The food is overpriced, has been cold, and has taken 1 and a half to 2 hours every time I have placed an order. There are many other diners in the area and I will never order from there again. read more

Came here the other day with one of my close friends as we were in the area and looking to try some new brunch food! The Whitestone diner is nicely tucked away off 14th Ave and the inside of the diner surprised me as it was much nicer inside than the outside looks. My friend kept telling me how he was craving an everything bagel and lox and luckily we found this place! After looking at the menu I ordered a California omelette (avocado, Monterey cheese, tomato) with bacon on side, Spinach veggies (substitute) and Wheat toast. I also ordered their house Coffee. My friend ordered the Everything bagel and lox with a Large OJ. Our food came out within 10 minutes of ordering and soon we were chowing down. Except, we both thought our food was just OK. The California omelette tasted very bland and was softer than I expected so I asked for hot sauce and put some pepper on top, but it didn't really make a big difference. I do like how they have "healthy" side options like spinach. Besides the omelette and everything bagel and lox everything else tasted good but we were a bit disappointed since those were our main dishes. Our bill came out to be over $50 after tax and tip which really surprised me as we have been to other places that tasted better and also wasn't as heavily priced. Maybe it was just our options of food, but I didn't really see what was the big deal here. read more

Update months later, my BF ordered from here this morn. Two egg white veggie omelettes and two coffees=$40. It's really obscene. -----------------previous review------ The food here is good standard diner food. I don't normally even look at price but I have to say that the prices here are shocking. I ordered an egg white and veggie omelette wrap and it was $15 dollars because the guy said they had to "assemble it piece by piece since it wasn't on the menu". I also ordered a grilled chicken salad with feta cheese which was $20. So anyway I cancelled the order because those prices are just wrong. read more

After leaving a bad experience in another local diner on a Sunday morning, my parents and I decided to try the Whitestone Diner. There was no wait for our table and every single employee was friendly/smiled at us. The food was good. The hash browns could have been cooked a little better and their home-made jelly isn't that great. Our omelettes were tasty. Based on the ambiance and staff, I'm willing to return. read more

The food is very good here. I have eaten at the diner and ordered in. My only issue is that the man answering the phone is not always the friendliest when you call for delivery. Despite that, I'll continue to go and order in because the food is comforting and the establishment is clean. Highly recommend :) read more

Considering the price point, I would expect this diner to be much better. The food is generally not seasoned properly. For example, I have to often add salt and pepper to my home fries or use ketchup (proof of lack of balance) The pancakes here are OK and the french toast is pretty terrible. I expect more custardy consistency from my french toast. The coffee is pretty moldy (look up the coffee tasters wheel) and oxidized. The one redeeming quality is the mini muffins. I would come just to eat the mini muffins every breakfast. I would look elsewhere. read more

I had a strange experience here. I walked in around 12 on a week day solo. I had a meeting in the area and was starving after. Walking in it appeared the place was empty. There is no counter so I asked for a table. I ordered the Nova Scotia eggs Benedict but asked if I could get some salad instead of potatoes. I never eat the potatoes. I was told it would be an extra charge. Ok who cares. food comes and here's what I get. Luke warm poached eggs and Hollandase sauce. The salad lol..... The lettuce tomato and onion you get on the top of a burger. One giant piece of lettuce so silly. Whatever I ate everything. read more
