This place used to be good. Now, when you order a burger, they don't even put it on the grill, they microwave it. Its bad when you can't get a real grilled burger. It would be good if they cooked with pure canola oil. Whatever cheap oil they use to fry their food in you can taste the after taste in the food. The manager is nice though.

Counter woman was extremely rude. Let me clarify NOT the hostess (a blonde woman who was very sweet). The woman who took payment for the checks was extremely rude I saw the way she treated the boys before me because they were younger. Got all upset because SHE didn’t hear something and decided to make it everyone’s problem.<br><br>Now I wouldn’t have even left a review if it wasn’t for the same attitude she gave my party. The person who paid (an older gentlemen) was struggling with the tap to pay as their machine reader seems to struggle to read it and all over a sudden she developed a very nasty attitude. I’m not sure why you have people working there that clearly only like certain people but it’s giving high school and is honestly disappointing. She had her hair in a ponytail and blue eyeliner. We were there today, 5/25 from 230pm-330 pm. I’m sure management can figure out who that was. Either get rid of her or correct her attitude. It’s embarrassing and disgusting.

The diner was very clean and nice. Atmosphere was great too. But the food was nasty. Garlic parmesan wings was disgusting. It was fried chicken with a sauce that looked like vomit. Buffalo wings were tangy and didn’t taste like normal buffalo wings. The burgers were blahhhh… it was a busy Sunday, so maybe that’s why..

Food was good. My first time here. Service was good. My turn off of why I did not give a 5* is because one guest ordered a Diet Coke, it came in a regular size glass and the charge was $4. Too much. I have gone to other diners where it was $2.50. $4 charge, we could get a whole bottle for less than that. I know Diners charge more but that was extreme.<br>Either way the place is nice.

This is my second time here. The place is spacious and clean. The food was great. They have a bar that they can make you alcoholic drinks. The staff is very kind and polite. The atmosphere is relaxing. I realize this place has it regular customers, and it does attracts an older crowd, which is fine by me. Overall definitely a great diner to hang out with family and friends.<br>I must mention that they have a big parking where you can park for free and not worry about your vehicle. I highly recommend trying this place out.

We enjoyed our first time visit to the New Rochelle Diner. It had all the charm shared by the finest of Vintage Diners in America. It is very large and separated into various areas and types of seating.<br>We enjoyed prompt service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere from everyone.

Classic diner experience. Burgers come with both fries and onion rings. I ordered the chili cheeseburger and asked them for extra chili on the burger, however they declined without an additional upcharge that was not insignificant. Creative drinks and drink specials. Just introduced baby back ribs.

The food was good but a little pricey but overall it was a good experience. My wife and I shared a bacon egg on a roll and a jumbo bagel with lox. We will comeback in the future. Thanks

Went to the New Rochelle diner after my lift with my boy at LA fitness at 1am. Glad that they were open. Food was amazing. My friend had the flank steak 😋 while I went for the double down cheeseburger 🍔 we also got mozzarella sticks, that were kinda too greasy 😅 🙃 😐 😬 😳. Very loud and busy. Overall food was fantastic. Server was kind and compassionate. Hope to go back soon🤞🏻

As soon as you walk in the service is friendly and professional. The roast chicken with stuffing was delicious. The stuffing had so much flavor and the chicken was juicy. I asked for the spaghetti and sauce as my side and the sauce was lightly sweet and seasoned very well. I wish I had room for dessert but the portion was big. Left happy and stuffed. Our server was friendly and was very attentive. I never had an empty cup in front of me.

Went for a birthday celebration on a Sunday . Please GO early It gets extremely crowded , the parking lot is free but small. We were seated pretty quickly as a party of 8 but there was long wait for 2 person parties . Decor was an old diner feel , bet cozy .The food was decent , portions are big but it took a long time to come out and was luke warm . The waiter had so many tables he barely checked in. I would probably return but on a weekday for dinner and see what kind of experience that brings . Happy eating 🍽️😋

Went here to eat for my birthday and honestly it wasn’t what I expected. I wanted to come here because I’ve always passed by it and it looked really nice like a vintage diner but that’s all it is, just a vintage looking diner from the outside & inside with no good food to show for it. Not extraordinary or anything, I’ve been to many diners and honestly this one wasn’t very appealing or outstanding to me in the slightest, probably the worst one, food wise I’ve ever been to. Food was bland & had no sort of flavor whatsoever. I don’t think I’d come back to this diner. Service was also alright, it took forever for us to get a server and be able to order as well. Prices are expensive as well for not very good food and small portions at that. I will not be returning nor recommending anyone to come here unless they want mid service. I thought it would be good since there were many cars outside so I thought this place was very known and good but honestly no.

Classic diner vibes. Chrome exterior, large open interior with counter seating, booths, and tables. Been twice. Two very different experiences. Gabby is great. Very engaged and attentive. Food was on par with average diner offerings. Nothing amazing. Nothing bad. 7.8/10. Worth going to if youre into the diner scene

First time here for me and my friends. Chose this diner because we were going to Costco. Nice size parking lot and inside was big; a lot of seating and kinda private with their glass partitions. Got seated quickly even though it was a Sat. The server came quickly, and our food came out fast. I couldn't get over how many employees they had, and it flowed like a well-oiled machine. One of my favorite things on the menu was alcohol! Got a mudslide with my breakfast. A lot of food and everything was good! My friends who live in the Bronx will be coming back, and when I visit from Philly, so will I. It's one of my favorite diners that I have ever eaten at. Need to try those milkshakes.
