    Whole wheat toast
    Chris J.

    Amazing food and service! The food was so delicious! I got the churritos french toast, and the home fries with eggs, bacon, and whole wheat toast. It was amazing! Highly recommend this place to others!

    While staying in Yonkers on a recent trip to New York, my family and I were looking for breakfast before doing some sight seeing in Manhattan. The challenge we kept coming across was finding spots that could accommodate our party that was fluctuating between 10-15 people at every meal. One of the quintessential New York things to do is to eat at one of the many diners all over the place. Diners are not typically big and are usually narrow, but we decided to check it out and be ok with splitting our party. They have street parking here and a small beat up lot nearby. It sits between a few other businesses in an old strip of shops. There is absolutely nothing fancy about it inside or out. When we walked in, initially it looked like we were going to be spread out all over the place, but lo and behold, they had an area in the back with the lights out with plenty of long tables ready to go. They turned on the lights and graciously let us take up one of the large tables. The customer service continued to be excellent afterwards too. In typical diner fashion, the menu here is long and extensive. If you want breakfast, they got it. If you want lunch, they got it. They got Italian and Mexican specialties. They got dessert. You can't come here and not find something that will tickle your fancy. I was in a breakfast mood but was so indecisive because of all the great looking options. I settled on the Pancake Deluxe plate which came with three nice size pancakes, bacon, sausage and two eggs. Our food came out pretty quick and piping hot. My plate looked delicious as did everyone elses. They provided butter and syrup on a plate. I do wish they used fresh butter instead of the prepacked stuff. I will say that the pancakes were delicious. They were big and fluffy and not dense at all. I wanted an over easy egg but got a over medium without any run on the yolk. The bacon was good but too thin for my liking. The breakfast sausage was different, but not in a bad way. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals as well. Overall, a great experience was had here. I love spots like this because you will not leave hungry and the prices are super reasonable. I would come back if in the area!

    Yes, Yes, and Yes! A REAL diner experience. Don't sleep on this place. Narrow establishment with 2-seater and 4-seater booths, also a counter. Quaint, but quality. I'm about it, and I would be about it all over again and again. I'm not in the area often, and did't know the neighborhood when I put this in my GPS. I was a little doubtful while parking and walking up, but my skepticism was overturned by the lovely staff and delicious breakfast.

    Typical (but good) diner located in downtown Yonkers. Standard menu, good homemade soups, generous portions. Friendly staff, street parking available.

    The old Saw Mill Diner under new management. Spruced up inside. Coffee came fast, good, reliable diner coffee. Half and half. French toast, bananas, bacon done perfectly! Food was hot, fresh and fast! See photo and other menu items. Another time I ordered blueberry pancakes. Blueberries inside not gloppy preserves on top. They did everything perfectly for a diner I can think of! For folks not from the area and searching Yelp for a quick place to stop, this is a old fashioned diner, lots of blue and a few white collars from the area, no frills no pouf. Just good diner food. So if that's what you want or need, this fits the bill. No truffle duck fat fries, lobster foam, or crispy Brussels. A diner. News 12 Westchester on the screen. You get the drift. Not that many diners like this around anymore. I enjoyed this fast, tasty fresh breakfast and will be back again! Enjoy.

    This is a nice new diner in Yonkers. The niegjbirhood is meh, but the Diner is great. The service is great, and the food is very good. It is diner fare, but my friend joined us who is vegan, and he was able to find many things on the menu. The inside is nice and well kept, and it is nice enough. I would go again.

    Grabbed takeout from Toasty Sandwich. Took about 20 minutes for three sandwiches, which felt a bit…read morelong, but they were clearly busy and understaffed. Parking wasn't too bad. The El Dictator with turkey and honey mustard was my favorite (even if my son stole the bacon), the pastrami melt was my son's pick, and my friend loved the Lady Lover with chicken and veggies. Solid sandwiches all around -- I'd stop by again if I'm nearby. We came after visiting the Hudson River Museum.

I thought about just getting DoorDash, but I figured I had a rental car and the Google map said parking was "easy," so I drove over. Parking was not exactly "easy," but I did find a metered spot not far from the entrance. I do think DoorDash is the way to go here, as there isn't a ton of space to dine in. The menu includes several breakfast options as well as sandwiches, salads, burgers, and smoothies. Everything sounded really tasty. I ordered the AM snooze wrap and a latte. It took a bit for the food to be ready but it was freshly made, hot, and wrapped well for the short drive back to my hotel. The wrap has scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, American cheese, and "secret sauce." It was a generous portion and I had half leftover for the following morning. This wrap was everything I want in a breakfast - portable, easy to eat, cheesy, salty, delicious. Loved it. Do not order coffee - the "latte" just tasted like bad gas station coffee, but the wrap totally made up for that. If I lived in the area, I would probably order from this spot all the time.

The hostess asked us if we could go by 4 which honestly I love the honesty and the ability to try and work with us. I said absolutely we have to catch a movie. It was 3 pm at the time. We got out by 3:47 could have been earlier even but we were waiting for the check. Service was really good though. Ambiance is great in there. I used to exclusively go here only in spring and enjoy the outdoor space. I've gone multiple times now in winter. They have nice flowers and art inside which is very nice to enjoy. For food we got the stuffed Sicilian, delicious. Then for entrees we got the pasta your way. We did penne alla vodka and added a crispy chicken cutlet. Their cutlets are nice and thin and crispy. Fantastic. Out guests really enjoyed and we will be back.

    My friend and I stopped by La Lanterna on April 12, 2026 during a long bike ride for lunch. We…read moredidn't have bike locks with us, so I went inside to ask the manager, Bill, if we could leave our bikes in the (closed) patio area since we were worried about them being stolen. Unfortunately, he was extremely dismissive and simply said no, then added that there were no tables available for us--which was odd considering the group right after us got seated immediately. I'm not sure if it was how we were dressed or what, but his overall attitude felt very cold and unwelcoming. We ended up sitting at the bar, and to be fair, Bill did help coordinate with the bartender Ana to get us seats together, which I appreciated. Ana herself was kind and attentive, though when we asked for food recommendations, she mostly just said "everything is great." I personally prefer a bit more honest guidance. For food, we shared the Hot Honey Roni Sicilian, Caesar salad, and calamari fritti. The pizza was definitely the highlight--super delicious and satisfying, especially as my first time trying that style. The Caesar salad was good, but for $16, I found the portion a bit small. The calamari was also solid, though we didn't love the sauce it came with. While we were eating, Bill noticed where we had placed our bikes (near the stairs where we could keep an eye on them) and came over rather abruptly, asking why they were in "his garden." Even after my friend apologized, he just walked away. His overall presence throughout the visit really hurt the experience--definitely not the kind of hospitality you expect. Overall, the experience was okay. The drinks were good, and my friend and I always make the best of things, but for the price point (about $80 each with two drinks and tip), I expected better service and slightly more generous portions. I'd consider going back, especially if we're biking in the area again--but next time, we'll definitely bring bike locks...and avoid the garden
