John's Diner Bronx Reviews
I love this place to eat with my family, the food is good but not as great but nevertheless this is a spot that will be on my top 10 because of the price
Tell you what: Every time I go to eat a diner I always make sure to check for cleanliness. And I kid to not there was not one piece of dust anywhere visible to my naked eyes. Needless times say I was highly pleased. Food: I purchased the eggs over easy with grits and breakfast sausage. Eggs were made to perfection, sausage was fresh, hot, crunchy and ohhh so delish. And the grits were the creamiest I've ever tasted! Staff was attentive, after the fact, but took too long to serve or acknowledge me as a dine in customer. Atmosphere: Very cozy, pretty quiet and no hoodlums hangout about making customers feel uncomfortable. Nice experience all around!! I will be a returning custy 😆 Thank you John's Diner owners & all affiliated 👏🏽
Extremely fast service and delicious. Been there twice so far but plan on making it a weekly thing.
The service was amazing. Very welcoming . Clean atmosphere. Amazing coffee and food . Affordable pricing. I recommend the chicken cutlet Parm it was a big portion . So good I even forgot to take a picture
I’ve been going to this diner for years when I lived near st. Lawrence Avenue I moved away years ago and missed their food then when I moved back to the Bronx I saw them on DoorDash and wanted to try their food again and it did not disappoint still tastes delicious and their portions are great and they are very friendly in there I’ve eaten in the restaurant a few times as well. I’ll never stop ordering from them they are amazing!
I've lived in the bronx all my life off St. Lawrence and one thing that's been a constant was John's Diner - I was there when John had the pizza shop and when he scaled back a little, he even knew my father! It's a little gem of a diner here off the 6 train, if you're looking for a real treat come in and get yourself 2 scrambled eggs and home fries with white toast - Certified classic. The staff is always kind and it gets busy time to time, but that's the charm of the NYC life! Ordered my classic, 2 scrambled eggs well done with home fries and turkey sausage with jalapeños on the side - No complaints, all flavor, all love. John's keeps me going, even when I'm studying or working hard!
I love this place. I've been coming here for over 10 years + . Food is great, great prices, and the service is the best i l9ve. My waitress shes amazing. Definitely recommend. I drive from Queens to the bronx to eat here. i even pay a toll to go eat here. that's how much i love to eat here
Clean tables, counters, and restrooms. Attentive and polite staff. And good food! According to the menu the prices are for cash transactions. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and my companion ordered a grilled chicken wrap. With beverages, tax, and tip the cost was $35. There’s no street parking but we found a spot around the corner. I would definitely go there again. With cash.
This will be my first time trying a diner in the Bronx, and I couldn't notice any difference compared to downtown, or upstate diner.. Good food. We were attended to in time. Food arrived quickly too. I had to force myself to slow down while eating ( I don't know why i was rushing my food😀). Friendly workers. Try for yourself and see. Great place.
Forgot to review this, but I ordered a bacon cheeseburger yesterday and it was GOOD. The price was reasonable for such a delight, and it was probably better than how Mcdonalds do their stuff. If I could add more stars, I would. But I did promise I was gonna add 5 stars so yeah!
This diner is a go to!!! I absolutely love this diner. The staff is friendly and very helpful and I have gone here so many times and never left dissatisfied, not even once. The restaurant inside is super beautiful i love the whole look of it and the food tastes really really good! Definitely recommend to EVERYONE!
Not as good as I expected based on previous reviews. Food was basic, bacon wasn't fresh and service was just ok.
The food was OK but the owners wife has an Attitude, not friendly
Last 2 times I went there The food was cold . I forgave them the first time because the staff is always nice and reheating the food was no biggie but the second time I was offended . Especially since it was a London broil steak meal with overcooked steak , cold potatoes and cold veggies. I think the problem is the chef . I hope he’s not the owner . The staff is nice . It’s not their fault . But I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon . I rather travel 3 train stops to George’s diner on Zerega ave and westChester ave (6 train)
