Chicken souvlaki with greek salad and fries was delicious, and service was great! Will definitely be back soon.

Excellent food and service comfortable and clean. The big breakfast sausage is a definite plus! Recommended !

Very fast service when you on the move food was good prit was good prices were not too bad everybody in the diner was friendly and seems like a real nice place to go

I had a doordash Delivery from this diner and I'm so happy with the food. It was great still hot and packaged well. Thanks Bell diner!

Great and plentiful food ... Outstanding service... Convenient and accessible Queens location... Highly recommend this diner!

Went from Brunch, my party 4 people had breakfast. I chose to eat a mango 🥭 salad with chicken 🐔 it was very delicious and nice portions. We were not rushed. There is a bar for alcoholic drinks.

The staff is always very nice my friend's family and neighbors never have any bad stories about the place- and since they opened everybody I ate with likeed every single ingredient

Clean small diner. I made a reservation but still had to wait until the took everyone from the line. The food is great, waitress was friendly & the bus boy Christopher was really doing a great job. I sat for my breakfastt & I could see how devoted he was towards his job. As soon as a table was clean quickly he got it set up. Very pleasant kid. Kudos to Christopher. Check our Bell Diner.

Nice place. I love the salad.

Since the closing of Triple Crown diner...it has been a challenge to find a nice place to dine out on Sundays and other days when we are in and around Queens. Finding this place was a thrill. We will definitely be back. We love it there.

Didn't actually go inside, a friend ran in to grab us breakfast, so I can only speak to the food (not the service [except speed], price, or cleanliness) this trip. We each got eggs on a kaiser roll, mine with sausage, hers with ham & cheese. They were substantial sandwiches that weren't lost on such big rolls. Perfectly seasoned - I often find breakfast sandwiches too salty, or not salted to compensate for salty meat. Will update next trip.

Small diner with friendly staff and good food.

Small diner located in a corner in Bayside, enjoy coming here usually with the family, staff is very friendly, always ready to answer questions you may have . Food is good , not great but good worth the short drive from the house! They have some decent lunch specials including soup and coffee or soda for a good value. If you go try their burgers are pretty good too especially the deluxe ones with fries and vegetables. The only small downside is it is small so if you coming on a busy time you may have to wait for seating otherwise a nice small diner here in Queens.

I was there at 2pm for lunch. My friend and I waited about 10 minutes for a table to open up. Both the food and the service were awesome. For those reasons, lunch time (until 3pm) was really busy. Highly recommended!

One of last old style NYC dinners. Great food. Friendly service. They make you feel like family. I would recommend their burgers, but you can't go wrong with any dish. All options are delicious for reasonable price. Spacious home style place

Awesome place, we found it through google maps by chance coming home from Comic Con. Food was great, place was clean and friendly service. Wish we had a diner as good as them where we live in Southampton. We enjoyed ourselves very much, thank you.

Went to the diner for their corned beef and cabbage. Came with a salad. Very courteous and attentive waiters. Delicious and ample portions. Took some home for later so I could have dessert and coffee. Honestly I would love to be waited on every day.

Real brioche bread for French toast in a diner? Yes! (Edit- no longer using real maple syrup-sad) Real milk in the cocoa and fresh squeezed orange juice too. And their smoothies are excellent!

I am not exactly fan of diners. However for the past few years, I have warmed up to this place. Large portions, delicious food, great service. Having parking is a big plus. Sometimes we like to go to Bell Blvd restaurants, then we give up and think of coming here because of the parking. During the week, lunchtime the lot might be full. But a block or two walking isn’t a big deal for us New Yorkers.

Great family diner. Love the food, the best thing I got was the churro French toast sticks. Yum

Excellent service. The staff made us feel at home. The food was delicious.

This establishment has always prepared fantastic dishes, in front of my very eyes. The staff is polite and attentive, and the place is always spotless. Come to this place to grab a bite to eat, and you will not be disappointed.

Second time there enjoyed the food , people, and service was outstanding

It's still a great place to go after all these years.

Friendly Environment And Delicious Food, Theresa And The Staff Welcome You And Treat You Like Family...❣️

5 Star I moved i to the neighborhood over a year ago. Great neighborhood for places to eat. But Bell Diner is tops. It's breakfast is breakfast. It's pretty much the same everywhere. Now dinner is really good. Salads are big and tasty. Pizza burger is a must if ur hungry. Wish they had a bigger variety on drinks. But the workers are friendly and fantastic. When my parents come to visit its a everyday thing for them.

Great food. I had no idea that this diner is here. Every thing very. Great soup. Shake. Burgers. Every thing was so clean and service was perfection.

I truly love this place. Food is delicious. And very courteous people

Best diner in town. The staff is very friendly. The owners make you feel like you're at home. The food is just great. Omelets, burgers, club sandwiches and salads you name it the food is delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking for good diner food. They also have great smoothies and shakes.

Enjoyed my first visit. Plan to visit more often.

Must say the food is great 👍. Will go back with my family again. If you don't want it to be too pricey, don't select from the brunch menu. Do selective items. Service it quick enough. Keep in mind it's not a big place, for example if you have a family size from 7 to 8. You can also call before you go, and you can probably make arrangements. The choices are not below. The banana Parkes with eggs, wafflesand fry chicken, French toast with eggs, sausage bacon and ham.

I happened to be in the area with my son. We stopped in for dinner. Our waitress was a young, very personable young lady. The lobster bisque was delicious as was the spinach pie. The bill was very reasonable.

Very kind waiters good seating food taste good!

Very clean. Looks like a family run business.

Amazing little Diner. Food was tasty and prices reasonable compared to other places . Highly recommend staff took very good care of me and my family.

I am fairly new to the neighborhood, my husband and I decided to try out our new local diner (this was in July). We really enjoy this restaurant and so does our little one, this has become our go to diner. My daughter gets so excited every time we go, she starts kicking her feet and says hi and bye to the workers along with the other patrons. I normally order the same meal for myself and my daughter and it comes out the same every time! Delish! They are very accommodating every time I bring her, she’s 1 years old and already has her very first favorite restaurant. Thank you to the staff for always being kind and accommodating!

Ellie Martin

Kind and attentive service, good vibes. My friend and I were able to chat and enjoy our spinach and feta omelettes with coffee.

kimberlee kitson

it’s my favorite Diner in the world and I’ve been living in the neighborhood in 30 years I’ll only come here I wanna say order the turkey roast entrée but I don’t want to sell it out when I get there so try the brisket also lol they’re nice people everybody else have a wonderful day my name is Kim

As always, I had an excellent experience at Bell diner whether use takeout or dine in. I love how they always cook their bacon well done.

Hayat Hashim

I was delightfully impressed by this diner. It was a complete spur of the moment decision to go have brunch and after we just found out our usual spot was sold - finding this gem was just a joy! The service was friendly from being seated to the receipt. The atmosphere was so homey felt like we were part of the family. My 6 old ordered waffles and chicken - I will say I’ve never had such crispy well seasoned fried chicken before. My husband and I ate two of his four pieces. The food is great, the service was impeccable, their whole family vibe was amazing. You cannot go wrong!

Colin Byer

Went here looking for burger and fries, many places to choose from, went here, amazing pick, burger was DELICIOUS, one of the best I’ve had in a while actually, fries were good too. Price was reasonable, would definitely reccomend, if you just want burger and fries

Limitless Reviews By Monica

Love this place. One of very few old school diners that are still around! Have a great lunch specials, and the portions are great. Decided to dine in for a couple of medium burgers in true diner fashion and they were delicious! Will be coming back for lunch next time.

Juan J Vasquez

The place is so chill and everyone working there is kind friendly, respectful and even willing to teach you Greek! The food is fresh and I can't get enough of the Mediterranean Wrap on Spinach or Whole Wheat.

Gary

This has become our go-to spot for breakfast on the weekends. The food is fantastic, the portions are generous, and the staff is attentive and always smiling. Bell Diner is popular with the locals and can get crowded but, even if you have to wait a bit for a table, it's worth it!

Steve Llano

great service and delicious food. The French toast is massive, be warned! Everyone is super friendly and nice and the food is always good. Never too crowded either.

I love "Old skool style", food, & they got it!,& new style too. No one can say a bad word about them, you'll be proven wrong anyday.

Great for dine in or take out. Very nice staff 👍 Food prepared as requested. Comfortable. Indoor and outdoor seating area.

I've never had anything bad here. Admittedly, apart from a turkey club, I've only ordered breakfast foods, but I've always been satisfied. I usually go for the French toast or pancakes with fresh fruit - both great, especially the French toast. The omelettes are lovely and filling. The place is a tad pricey, but it's not without reason. The food is quality. More importantly, the staff is wonderful.

Great breakfast! The best pancakes and French toast in town. Eggs cooked perfect, home fries well done and bacon and sausage nice & crispy. My go to diner for good breakfast! 👍🏼

Very nice cozy place. Great selection of food. Everything we've had was consistently fresh and delicious. Only problem is that there are not enough seats during certain hours and there is a wait.

Typical diner experience and menus. Nothing bad from our visit which is a good thing. French Toast was cooked well, typical packaged Challah. Bacon was thick but properly cooked for a nice chewy texture. A big greasy but very good. Coffee is typical as well. Not a bad experience, just no parking lot. Free stree parking was available across the street

Pretty good service and yummy food! Sunday morning rush, but we still got a table and were served quickly. I would definitely go back here again if I was in the area.

My Wife and I decided to try this place out, the place is nice and clean, the two waiters were kind. I ordered blueberry waffles it taste great we will definitely come back next time and order a different breakfast menu 👌

My fave burger 🍔 from here is the backyard burger but last 3 times I’ve ordered it’s not the same. Normally does not come with lettuce and tomato and now it does. The chipotle sauce is now weak and the bun has change. Please bring back the original version it was perfect.

Service was great, location was convenient with ample parking on a Sunday morning. Food is ok, but the atmosphere makes it all worth it.

My husband and I used to love this diner. Food is still very good but service and cleanliness have changed. We had to wait quite awhile for our breakfast and my husband’s French fries didn’t arrive until he was halfway through with his breakfast sandwich. It also doesn’t seem to be as clean as it used to be. Tables should be wiped down thoroughly especially during these Covid days and ours wasn’t. The bowl with the individual milk containers had an open, partially-used milk container in it, from a previous customer. They do a very big takeout service and I think that’s where their time and energy is going these days. Also, no air conditioning today and it was needed. Second time we’ve been there and they had no a/c. Our meals, however, were very good.

Decent diner for Queens standards. Clean, limited inside and outside dining available. Little on the pricey side and not many breakfast specials as in other typical diners.

Food was good but a little bit pricey for breakfast. Had dinner to night. Not recommended sea bass filets.

This diner has similar feel and look as most diners out there. The prices were reasonable. We were disappointed with the food. It was mostly bland. The service was. Good, too bad the food wasn't at par.

Local diner offers standard fare but a generous variety on the menu. It's a little much but nice to have options! I was able to secure a table outside for two during lunch time on a Friday afternoon. Cool! Ordered too much! I think my chicken quesadilla was okay. Needed more peppers or onions... It was a little skimpy on ingredients on the inside. But it came with chips, salsa and plenty of sour cream. Skip the fried calamari, good portion but lacked flavor. Breakfast entrees are the safest bet as well as the burgers.

This place used to be WAY BETTER when it was Pete's Cafe. The food is okay, the atmosphere is okay, the service is lacking, and the prices are too expensive for the quality of food that is served. The coffee here though, is the best cup of coffee you'll ever find in the 5 boroughs. Besides that, it's an average diner. Nothing jumping out about it. The service could be better & more polite.

usual local diner..... staff not so attentive but food is usual. hot honey chicken wasn't so honey or so hot. onion rings were really good!!!!!!

My broiled fish had a strong, unpleasant fish smell to it. My husband's Turkey had a refrigerator smell to it as if it were in the re frigerator for a long time period. The only thing we enjoyed at lunch today were the mashed potatoes. We have come to this diner for quite a number of years. This was very disappointing. We may not come again.

My husband and I felt we should try the Bell Diner. we ordered on Doordash and delivery was quick however, on to the food. I ordered the fried seafood combo for my husband and the grilled pork chops for myself. the seafood combo was tasteless and tough almost like it had sat out after cooking definitely not fresh from the oil. the pork chops were also very tough and lukewarm. the mashed potatoes had no flavor the only thing that was decent was the corn. our entire meal went into the garbage along with the 60+ dollars we spent. won't go there again.

I can only speak on my delivery experience- not so good delivery experience and contact with diner. Just left a really bad taste in my mouth a few months ago with what went down when I contacted the diner about my missing delivery. I can't speak on Service inside the diner though. It could be good.

A small corner diner/cafe. The service was OK to Poor otherwise. The food was OK. I got an omlete & coffee. I found a fairly large hair in my coffee so that's gross. I didn't say anything because frankly, it didn't seem like they would do anything about it and I didn't want to bother with the hassle. I just didn't drink it. The other food coming out looked okay at best. I didn't eat anything else nor did I want to. It's hard to rate a place properly based on an omlette but based on my experience, I'd rate this place a 1 or 2 out of 5. The hair in the coffee pushes it to 1. The waiter was talking to the people behind me about a colonoscopy pretty loudly- they didnt ask, he just started talking about it. Sounded like he grossed them out too and they had just ordered lol Not really what you want to hear when eating breakfast, especially from your friggen waiter. Not really a nice place to eat in my experience. I won't return.

Terrible, salty soup, expensive, blah omelet and toast. Will not return.

Restaurant owners stopped caring about what they serve their customers, all they care now is to inflate their pockets. Very expensive place for the food they offer. Today I ordered chicken cutlet sandwich, let me tell you any deli can do a better job for much better price. Where are the condiments, no Mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese? I know cheese is extra, but a slice of tomato is extra too? ? Very dry chicken

The bacon was not cooked, waffles was extremely soggy. Oh and their fruits are extremely sour, not ripe. I expected to get what I paid for and it was the complete opposite. Not worth the price, so expensive to get disgusting food. They need better chef or take their business more serious.

If only I could give this a place zero. I understand sometimes mistakes happen, but not getting what you ordered three times in a row is absurd. On top of that, she forgot to give us the right change. Oh! And having to pay 40cents for an aluminum plate when you are ordering out? Am I supposed to take my own plate to avoid this charge? (I know it's not much, but if I'm paying for the food, it should at least be common courtesy to provide a container for my food). Never ordering from here again.

Phone number listed is never answered. Ordered breakfast on-line Saturday morning to only find out they are closed, yet their hours posted of person show open. Good way to turn away new clients. El pass in this place, rather go to Dunkin donuts right across the street.

Ordered a breakfast wrap at 9:50am. It's now almost 12pm and I have not received my food. Delivery person said they delivered it but clearly it went to the the wrong address. It's bad enough the prices here are ridiculously high but over 2 hours for a delivery less than half a mile away is egregious.

$48.40?! Ordered one steak and eggs & and one cheeseburger deluxe. The menu shows it should've been under $40.00 unless there's a new Tax I don't know about.. My bad for not taking the receipt or asking the total amount before swiping my card and leaving. Unjust.

Customers are all same. If u only care about your walk-in customers & don't give any respect to online orders then u've serious questioning issue in ur customer service. Very bad attitude & unprofessional service by the individual who prep for online deliveries. He was cursing online delivery system (Uber /DoorDash) for incoming orders & he was showing very bad temper to the delivery people. Without the customer ur job is meaning less. If u don't like ur job then you should switch to what u like most PLS don't ruine the business goodwill.

I ordered a Slim line burger. Meaning the burger served on a bed of crisp lettuce. Completely false advertisement. I received a plate of lettuces from a bag, with a burger on it. Not a happy camper because it's not cheap.

There’s a guy who answers the phone in the morning specifically at around 8:30am-9:00am, he always has an attitude and is always trying to rush you off the phone. I am telling him i needed an adjustment for something and he tries to say anything so he doesn’t have to do his job. He kept saying “we already finished your order,” before asking my name and on top of that I made the order literally a minute ago. He has horrible customer service skills and it took a lot for me not to go off on him. I don’t even know if the food is good yet, he’s just so ridiculously rude and unprofessional that I had to make this review.

Ordered over phone for pick up. Ordered 2 cheeseburgers, and tasted and looked like they came out of a frozen foods box. I called to say something to manager and he's said he's would talk to his meat guys... I normally wouldn't write a review but when I then suggested to inform customers of a credit card fee he sighed so heavily and said anything else you want to say? Food was not good at all and apparently the manager has NO customer service skills AT ALL!!!

The food is mediocre but the main reason for a low rating is due to the customer service. We placed an order on grubhub so we were looking at the estimated delivery time. After an hour and a half, it was not correct so we called the restaurant to ask about the status. We were originally told "any minute now". Okay. .so 15 minutes later I'm calling again to inquire. The lady HUNG UP on me, in which I needed to call again to inquire about MY food that I PAID for. Just give an estimate - no need to hang up on your customors. I paid my monies, so if wanting my food to arrive before 2 hours is bothering you, then don't accept offers if you're really busy or not especially close to the location 🤷🏻‍♀️ ALSO our order was not correct, on top of being cold. What a waste.

Not sure how this place is with dine in but i work an 8minute drive away and it took an hour and 45 minutes to receive my food. Which was cold (when i asked the delivery guy why’d it take so long & is my food warm atleast? and he said yes.) I got the vegetable omelette with home fries. and they completely burnt the home fries. It was literally black. I don’t like to write bad reviews so i called up the diner to let them know, to which the person on the other end responded “Oh i’m not sure why it was late or burnt. maybe something happened” and then proceeds to say “maybe we’re busy” He’s working there and has no idea what’s going on? Ok. But yeah there’s much better diners around than this place.

Do not order from this place. The customer service and the way they handled themselves in this situation was absolutely disgusting. I placed an order around 6 which was scheduled to come at 6:50. By 7:30 the order still did not arrive so I called to check in and they said I would receive it shortly. After 8pm still no order. I call back and they tell me the driver must have given it to someone else and there was nothing they could do for me. Absolutely horrible way to the conduct themselves as a business. They have lost a loyal customer (not that they seemed to care.)

This diner charges over prices on all menu. And The owner family is so rude and place is not clean at all.. I don't recommend anyone..

The fruit drink was just watery no taste at all. I will not recommend it. The waitress realized and asked the manager to make it again but seemed he never had strawberries and bananas in the first place to add. He shamelessly even refused credit.

Turkey dinner was incredibly expensive at $50 a plate and very much not worth it. Would never come back here again. Response to owner: yes I only review places I’m unhappy with. I don’t have that many reviews with that being said!

So came her for breakfast on memorial day weekend... very disappointed. We came with our toddler they skipped taking our order by two larger tables. Our kid was so hungry she filled with water, the food took forever to make our kids and us was so sick of waiting we keep thinking that we should just leave. So they had one waiter for inside. He was very forgetful, we did get utensils until after the food was waiting on our table. He didn’t come back to offer us ketchup and jelly for our breakfast. Now time to leave, they drop off containers but took all the utensils we had to use our hands to pack the food. Then time for bathroom went to have our toddler use the bathroom and myself there was no toilet paper or hand towels/tissues. I had to wash her in the sink. I didn’t bother peeing at all. They barely had soap in the bathroom. Worst part it was early in the morning. So there was no morning rush and no excuse for the lack of attention put into these necessary check prior to opening this restaurant. There are much better diners that have AC unlike this one. Save yourself the experience and drive to another place.

This place is a joke. I’m surprised they are still open. Overpriced and the food is trash. Ordered a tuna salad wrap and it was the worst I’ve even seen and tasted. Absolutely disgusting. Not to mention how overpriced they are. NEVER ordering from here again. Waste of money.

Ianj jjang

This diner is fake diner..price is overpriced on all menu . Food quality is terrible. Service is soso.. I do not know how this kind of restaurant is still running business.. Foods are too salty and no falovor.. I almost had to ask waitress who is chef?
