Good for breakfast and brunch. Place is very clean. Great wait staff! I would give 4 and a half star.

A typical American diner with generous portions. Decently priced. Typical Americal style food. The sausages seem shrunk. It's worth a visit when you are in Brooklyn

I’ve only had their burgers so far, and they’re good. They’re not over cooked like other diners, generous portion of fries, pickles, lettuce and tomato.

The diner is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare the various food typical in diners. They have salads, soups, sandwiches, paninis and wraps. Many burgers and breakfast options are also available including desserts. They open early and close by 9:00 PM.

First time coming here today since the new owner took over. The place looks really nice, but bathroom still needs work. Food was good. Sharon was my server and she was very nice. Nice to know that it’s still good now that George is no longer there. Hope it stays around because I have been a Royal’s customer for about 30 years when I lived in Bay Ridge.

I stopped by yesterday for the first time for a quick breakfast. Since this restaurant has recently changed its name to Mike's Royal Diner, I could see that they are making modifications to the inside of the restaurant. The waitstaff is friendly and the food came out pretty fast. I was amazed on the large portion size of my Italian Omelette. I really got my monies worth with that meal since it filled me up for breakfast and lunch! They are making changes to the prices on the menu, but from what I see it is pretty darn reasonable. The only thing is that the bathroom is a tad small and there really isn't too much room. Overall, I would definitely come here again the next time I am passing through the area.

If you have any interest in eating at a classic diner, Royal Restaurant is just the place. The food is prepared to order and the prices are low considering the portions. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Perhaps the biggest attraction to this place is the feeling of stepping back in time and witnessing the local regulars as they come and go. The staff seemed to know them all by first name!

The burger was kinda burned and the fries tasted funny. Also the tea too 3.99. I should have just had the water. I am better off going somewhere else next time. A neighbor recommended me but I think it was not too good. 😕

October 24, 2025 WORST meatloaf I ever had!! no spices! Slab of meat looks and tastes like a slice of bread. Nothing in it. Horrible!!! $23.99 with mashed potatoes and string beans. AWFUL!

The last 2 orders were ridiculous. One of them said restaurant could not verify to call. Tried calling numerous times. No answer 90 minutes later after ordering different food from another spot and paid for it mikes shows up. I refused the order and never got a refund. Tonight I tried again. Pizza burger extra sauce no sauce and a giant hair in the other burger. I guess they don't know how to read orders.

The diner was very clean. I did have to stand at the counter waiting for someone to welcome me while all the staff were just staring at me which was odd. But eventually someone told me just have a seat anywhere. The food was nothing like what I expected nor did it match photos on the printed menu they provided. To start off, I ordered the Mac and cheese bites. They looked more like chicken nuggets and were over fried to the point of being rock hard. And they came with a side of processed cheese sauce to dip them in. The flavor in each bite was essentially nonexistent. 1/10 on the bites. I then ordered the broiled fish fillet with a side of mashed potatoes and broccoli. The fish looked nothing like the photo on the menu. The menu photo looked amazing but the fish I was served looked like frozen fillet and it had virtually no color and they flooded the plate with the butter sauce from the fish. The mashed potatoes were instant mash and very gritty and off color. I added just a tad bit of gravy (presumably from a can) and it just made the mash into a soup. The broccoli was well cooked but very cold and not much flavor in each bite. The entree gets a 2/10 only because the fish tasted decent. I did appreciate the soft drinks being provided in a can versus a machine so I didn’t have to worry about a dirt fountain machine or improper mixture of carbonated water with the soda mix. Also, the chicken noodle soup was 90% celery and onion. Only 2 pieces of carrot and 3-4 small pieces of chicken. And the noodles were mushy and over cooked. And the soup broth was mainly oil and water. The service was subpar. When the waiter came to gather my finished plates, he only took one of 4 dishes away, leaving the table with 3 dirty dishes on it. I also sat there waiting a good 15 minutes for someone to offer me the check. Overall, I would rate the diner a solid 1.8/10.

There's this controlling fear of a manager or owner towards the employees, it's painful to watch, and guess what the food tastes the same, my bread was burnt with a hint of butter, potentially at direct direction of said boss who must manage the butter portions. The food and attitude sucks. My eggs were more runny than raw.
