Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit there. Place was clean. Service was great. We were given change that was $10 short but it was quickly rectified. I would recommend this place. Food was spot on.

if you want great quality food then here is the spot! if you're food isn't how you want it they will fix it without a fuss, managers are on point! if you're on the are or not it's a worth trip just to taste something amazing.

Wanted some crab legs and as usual Lindenwood did not disappoint. I requested my favorite server Tim (so professional and prompt) and was very happy.

My first meal in NYC and I was totally satisfied with all of it. The chicken Mucho Nachos were plentiful and delicious. Quality and well flavor chicken, plenty of cheese and jalapeños with sides of guacamole and pico de gallo. My Rasta Pasta was very rich and creamy with a great kick of spice. The chicken was great and shrimp were large and flavorful. My girlfriend loved her crab legs and plantains. They were also great. The strawberry shortcake was perfect and a nice finale to this feast.

The parking is bad but I guess that is because of the amount of people that come here. I got the crab legs which was the most amazing I have ever had but next time I'll try the steamed instead of the cajun. If you go there you have to get the plantain its really good sweet and yummy. Kinda reminds u of childhood in the caribbean. The virgin drinks are like $7 &change which is a little much for the size. The crab legs were like $38 & change. It comes with 2 sides and a salad. There is also a appetizer crab legs that comes with 1 less cluster for $26 & change. The ribs wasn't as good according to my friend though. However I won't speak on it because I didn't have it. Oh and there is only one female bathroom so pee before u go. Two ladies almost faught because of that. Second visit- horrible the waitor was this big Italian looking guy named John if u get him for your own good ask for another waitor. The host told me to take it easy on him because he is getting old but how is asking if he forgot my drink half way into my meal not taking it easy. Then the legs that I got were horrible. It was dirty looking, dried out and shriveled inside. I'm never going back there because I hate inconsistency. I no longer recommend the legs and I recommend that u choose your waitress or waitor wait a heavy heart. To be fair he tried to make it up by checking often but when he gave me the check he made me wait a long time.

Looking for a diner that is an absolutely solid meal and anything on the menu being fresh and tasty, well this is certainly that kind of place. I happen to come for the same meal (Tres Golpe) made to order eggs, mangu with red onions, beef salami, queso frito and toast. Can’t tell you how simple yet perfect this meal is for me. Ample parkin as they have a lot, servers are very attentive as well making sure to pass by often .

This place is Awesome! Always packed and I see why. Many food options and most are really delicious. I took my wife and kids here for her birthday! Everyone's meal was great. Lots of wonderful church folks here on Sundays. Parking is tight and limited.TIP: After 5 it dies down a little. Almost no waiting time.

The variety of foods are endless and great. The service is amazing. Love this place ❤️

It's like a Spanish Brooklyn 🤷 it wasn't what I expected but the food was delicious. Looking at the place you would think a big breakfast menu, nope it's small back of the menu but The portions was nice, lite seasoning, nice flavor. I will go again.

Good menu choices, parking available. Free limited parking available. Fast and friendly service. On this visit everything just great the food is just fantastic. My favorite neighborhood diner.

Quick & simple delicious meals served all day here. Their chicken noodle soup is really good. Staff is friendly and very professional.

Delicious food...very friendly service ...great parking....no wait to be seated....they are not cheap though...be ready to spend some bread. Portions are great though. You get a good bang for your buck.

The waitress and other staff members were really nice. The food was fresh and portions were huge.

Nice service! Lots and lots of menu options! The food was great! Iced coffee is an no. Very cute set up.

Wonderful vibe, colors everywhere, and comfortable seating areas. The food was fantastic! The menu had lots of options and excited to try something new next time!

Great food, great service. Definitely a needed and loved place in the neighborhood. The mixture of ethnic foods and quality is dynamite.

My first time here in over 20 years. They have not lost their touch. The food and drinks were excellent.

This gem lives up to its 4,600+ reviews and now mine! We were the 2nd party into the restaurant as they opened @9am! A friendly arrival to our booth by the windows met by a gentle wait staff with plenty of coffee when needed!! A couple Hungry man's breakfast later and we had plenty of fine food to force us to sit and relax to catch up on life! A short drive from JFK makes this a must stop if you like local nostalgia and fine food! Well done! Enjoy!

The service & food was AMAZING not to mention that the staff is so attentive to yours needs. Courtney was our server & did not fall short at all with getting our orders correct the first time of which we had a large party! Food had good presentation, came out quick plus it was fresh and hot when it got to our table. I had the opportunity to meet the owner Frankie who was very welcoming & focused on making sure the guest were taken care of. It definitely gives the feel of family! I had the Chef’s Fest which was impeccable and everyone at my table felt the same about their food! We ended dinner with a few of their decadent desserts which were equally delicious! Can’t wait to revisit with them!

Totally unexpected gem. Great food, huge portions, inexpensive and a great server named Sharon! Anytime I need a seafood fix, I'm headed to lindenwood diner. Not to mention the phenomenal bread basket that I totally wasn't expecting. In the basket there was cornbread with what seemed to be a hint of lemon, chives and onion bread, cinnamon raisin bread. Everything was sooooo delicious!

Always love going to this diner. The Best Crab in Brooklyn and it really is good. When I want snow crab legs this is where I go. Cajun, broiled or in garlic either way it’s delicious. Lively atmosphere, can’t wait to go back😋😋

9/7/24: We enjoyed our dining experience at Lindenwood. The food was excellent as always. Service was superb. Ambiance was great. Great time!

I love love love this place. Their seafood is impeccable and worth every cent even though it more affordable than other seafood restaurants. Love their bake clams and their crab legs. They make the best garlic butter lemon sauce. Their Hennessy Margarita is out of this world. One drink will give you an everlasting buzz.

After being away for 3 years, it was nice to see that nothing, that matters, has changed. Everything was still fantastic...Following the vaccination mandate for indoor dining...timely delivery of drinks and food...friendly attendant...the food, hot, plentiful and delicious! Love the two new murals

I so much enjoyed coming here as a 1at guest and suggestion from my brother . We had sn amazing ,courteous and helpful waitress Mimi 🙂🙂. She was awesome and I she even wrote God bless on our receipt. I had a salmon wrap with sweet potato waffle fries . It was good . She gave us a slice of cake 🎂 on the house . I love that they play gospel music 🎶 inside the diner. Will like to come back if I visit again . Keep on smiling and Mimi deserves a day off with pay-- SHE'S the BEST! My trip to NY was great 👍🏽

The food here was great and service was fast and amazing

Celebrating a new beginning at a restaurant with ambiance, was best. Food was enjoyably tasty, served with warm hospitality. Lindenwood never disappoints, best dining experience in local city.

Great food and service place was very clean and not that crowded. Food is one of the best I tasted and everyone seemed very friendly here. Will go again.

Good food and service. But it aint cheap. However, worth it. I frequent this diner when I can. Has a lot of food choices, and the workers are accommodating. The owner is a great guy too.

Great burgers! I got the ultimate burger already twice. Wasn’t a fan of their carrot cake, but everything else was great. Get a side of plantains, those are really awesome.

Celebrated my birthday with friends at Lindenwood this past weekend. The pictures are Land & Sea paella, Jolly Rancher martini, & Mango Coconut margarita. Don’t remember the names of other drinks in 4th picture. I’ve been to this diner many many times. Should have written reviews and uploaded pictures then. I can say that the Maryland crab cakes, their sliders, shrimp macaroni & cheese are very good. The various burgers, their ribs, crab legs, etc. The food here is tasty and good. The drinks are great. I don’t always have an alcoholic drink when I’ve been at Lindenwood, so my reviews are not swayed by being tipsy. 😂 Never experienced bad service. Managers, hosts, waiters and all who work there are friendly and provide great service. Love this spot!

Brooklyn diner that’s been around since the mid-60s. A true classic. Good service, excellent food. Parking lot is tight, but spots are usually available. Coffee is delicious. Clean bathrooms. Nice people.

Love the vibe! Feels like a time machine back to a simpler place where you could slow down and enjoy relationships and community. The atmosphere is that of a large, very clean, 50s diner. The tables, chairs, booths, cushions-all part of the wonderful time machine. The server even called my wife 'honey' 😃 The chicken soup was delicious, my California omelet (turkey, the usual, and avocado) was perfect, dry enough, and not running all over my plate. The pancakes were regular size, fluffy and delicious. There is ample butter, syrup, cream, and sugar. So, yes, highly recommended and will return.

Been here about 5 times. The last few times I went for seafood after hearing how great their seafood is. It lived up to the expectation for sure. You get a lot for your money. Drinks are good as well. Shannon (or maybe it’s Sharon) is the best. Great sense of humor and attentive. I’ve had her before and every time I do, it’s exceptional service.

+2

The food was very good and tasty, we got the scampi crab legs which was a 10/10 very flavorful. The mini beef patties was really good with sauce. The chicken and shrimp Rasta was a 10/10 everything was seasoned. The henny colada was a very strong and good. The service was a 10/10z

Lindenwood Diner is a neighborhood gem. Great food, generous portions, and super friendly staff. The service is quick and the vibe is classic NYC diner — exactly what you want. Definitely coming back.

I always go here!! I go so much my boyfriend says I should be part owner 😂! I absolutely loveeeee the food here. I always get the baked clams it’s one of my favorites. But everything from the burgers and fries to the quesadillas, to the steak and mash to the egg Benedict made with the salmon Everything is top tier! Made with good quality and taste! This place will always be my top 3! Wish they was open 24 hrs like before so I can do my late night trips but it’s all good

I’m pretty shocked. For this place’s location, this did a great job with the dining experience. To dine inside all parties must show proof of vaccination or your welcome to dine outdoors. The decor is modern with a Graffi designed mural in the back. It smells fresh and the even has a cute, futuristic looking restroom. I must say the prices are reasonable also. The waiters are helpful, pleasant and attentive. The food came out quickly, was flavorful, fresh and was well-done. When passing the Linden Blvd Area of Brooklyn, GO HERE!

I have been here a few times and the food is always great. Got the crab legs , 1 cluster as an appetizer and it was very fresh. The melted butter made it taste even more delicious. I do not care for the onion bread basket they serve though. The linden appetizer sampler came with chciken tenders, chicken wings, mozerrela sticks and baked clams. The clams had fresh garlic on there and all was piping hot. I got the broiled pork chops with French fries and vegetable medly. Pork chops were tender and juicy. The drinks are always a must. I have had their paninis as well and they taste great. Cakes are a little on the dry side but overall..great place.

I haven't been to the Lindenwood Diner since I left the 106 Pct in 1987. The place looks Great. I had an excellent egg and crispy bacon sandwich for breakfast. I'll be back.

Some of the BEST food we had while on our brief trip to New York. From the sandwiches to the burgers to the shakes and cakes, everything was amazing. The atmosphere has that true diner feel. The menu is expansive and incredible. I could eat there every day.

+1

I like finding new diners to eat at when traveling, folks if you drive through Brooklyn NY made a stop and I guarantee you will love this diners. It actually felt like a upscale eatery instead of a diner. I will be back. Mac

The food here is always good! Can’t go wrong with their Belgian waffle. It’s deliciously crispy and airy on the inside. This time the seafood omelette was also ordered with a side of hash browns. It was very good although it was a little tough to eat as you had to fight to get the egg and a piece of seafood in one bite. The scallops were so beautifully cooked that I might have to order those by themselves next time! This diner is a staple and I highly recommend

We were looking for a "diner" on the way to JFK and this diner is 15 minutes away via car. 1st time and not our last. Service was really great! The food selection is diner foos but they also have a selection of spanish dishes as well, which sounded yummy. I got a burger and swapped fries for tostones and it came with a garlic dip, yum! The burger also came with 2 onion rings. The homefries was really really good. Overall every dish was very yummy. And a really cute, diner. Definitely try if in the area or on your way to the airport!

Service was good. Food came out nice and hot. This place had been on my bucket list for years because several had good things to say about the food. Took my friend here to celebrate his birthday. The 5 of us all enjoyed our meals.

I consider myself a diner connoisseur. I've found haute cuisine in the greasiest of spoons, and I've eaten my share of disappointing meals in places that look like they spend too much money on decor while not giving a second thought to what's on the plate. The folks at Lindenwood Diner manage to send out food that makes you want to come back again and again in a place that feels cool, clean, and welcoming. This spot gives you that quintessential diner vibe that's getting harder and harder to find. You've still got the classic multi-page menu of things to choose from, but it's one of the few diners where I genuinely viewed all of the items as something I'd want to order. We came for brunch and we're disappointed. Big portions all around, and even though they looked busy, the food came out quickly, hot, and well presented on the plate. I wish we had come a little later in the day because that seafood boil menu was calling to me. And the staff at every level were great. Everyone looked happy to be there, relaxed, welcoming - like they were having a good a time as we were. I'm looking forward to the next visit. Bottom line - if you want that classic, timeless diner experience with an elevated vibe, you gotta check this place out.

We have drove past this place so many times but today was our first time actually dining here. For a Sunday it was very busy but wait time for 2 was surprisingly quick. Our waitress was very friendly and sweet. I tend to judge diners on their calamari. If it's crispy and not chewy/rubbery then I would say you get a pass with flying colors. Calamari here did not disappoint. It was a tad bit oily for our taste. Perhaps it needed to drain just a little longer when it came out of the fryer. Drinks were on point. We tried the salmon burger and Mexican wrap, both tasty. This might actually be our new favorite diner. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes and drinks.

The food was good on my end. I love the tostones. They were fired just right. My 6 yr old didn't like the mac and cheese. I ordered a Red Sangria, and it could have been stronger. They put way too much ice. The service and atmosphere were pleasant.

Jaida Foreman

A Brooklyn staple in the crest of ENY, they make you feel like family as soon as you step in the door. Hostess and servers are cheery, funny and incredibly sweet. There was a bit of a wait to order since I went with a big party and it was the holiday season. But it didn’t even feel like an issue because I was having such a good time with my family. Y’all know how much I love my seafood AND they do claim to have the best crab legs in BK 🦀👀 CAN CONFIRM! I also shared some of the seafood fettuccini with my mom and that too was really good! A beautiful medley of the sea, with scallops, clams, mussels, baby shrimp and crab legs. If you’ve never been here, rectify that soon!

Candace Fite

Food is always great. Service is always fast and friendly. Try to stop in anytime we visit New York. The owners are wonderful. Always great to see the family.

TeeRoy Woodfin

Always a great local spot to get some food. From crab legs to pasta, to grits and scrambled eggs. They're service is impeccable and their food is always great. Their cheesecake is delicious also. My go to is breakfast, corned beef hash ( extra crispy) two eggs over easy, homefries and wheat toast. Hits the spot, every time.

Samantha Lawrence

Food is always good, love the big portions. It’s always a go to for years for quick, fresh, love food

This is, Hands Down, my favorite diner. It has a Caribbean twist and offers dishes like Ackee and Saltfish, Tres Golpes (mangu, fried cheese, eggs). If you’re coming for breakfast, get here early. It is opened for dinner but I’ve never been. Every dish I have had is packed with flavor. Go!

The Lindenwood Diner is an old school staple. I haven't been in a while, but the service, food and quality remains the same. You are greeted with a smile. Servers are friendly and helpful. Caren was great. The food is phenomenal. The menu is extensive so you may need time to figure out what you want to eat. From Mofongo and shrimp to pancakes and eggs, you will be fed and full. Drinks are plentiful as well. We got 2 boozy milkshake, my mate got 2 peach frozen margaritas. See photos for food. We went at noon and literally got breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bill for 3 adults was a little over $150. Great price for real food.

Lindenwood Diner - Great Spot for Comfort Food! I love stopping by Lindenwood Diner whenever I’m in the area. The food is always delicious, with classic diner favorites that hit the spot every time. Whether I’m in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a juicy burger, they never disappoint. The service is always friendly, and the staff really makes you feel at home. It’s got that cozy, old-school diner vibe that I appreciate, and it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great comfort food in a laid-back atmosphere!

The Recovering Know-it-All

Absolutely one of the best burgers I've ever had. This is a staple of southeast Brooklyn and yet I haven't been here in decades. A dozen of my fraternity brothers and I got together for an impromptu reunion and we enjoyed every second there. The staff was excellent and we were treated like royalty. #LocalGem #GoodEats #theresthatfoodie #AVTeats

Lindenwood Diner… Y’ALL. Let me tell you something. They don’t owe me a damn thing. I got every bit of what I paid for and then some. The customer service? Immaculate. Like five-star treatment without the attitude. The food? BABYYYYY ten outta ten I would absolutely recommend. No notes. The atmosphere? Chef’s kiss. From the lighting to the vibes, it was giving everything it needed to give. I’ve lived in Brooklyn for years and somehow never stepped foot in this gem. Last night I was heading out for dinner and decided to finally give it a shot. Let’s just say the way they fed my soul and stomach? And THEN, to top it all off, the manager personally brought me a slice of cake. No explanation, no bill just a looked at me like, “You deserve this.” TBH, I’m locked in now. This ain’t a one time visit. Oh noooo. When I was leaving I shook his hand and told him “I’ll be back.” I will definitely be back!

Amazing restaurant! Their popularity is well deserved. Karen was my server, she did an excellent job at serving. Very kind and attentive. I had the chicken and waffles, my sister had french toast with fresh strawberries and a side of sausages. Large servings! Food was delicious and flavorful. Definitely would come back. The interior is beautiful as well.

Malcolm Jamal King

The food was exceptional. The LiteFM they play in the background makes for a chill atmosphere. My waiter recommended I do the shrimp and grits instead of the fish and grits. It was a perfect suggestion. The food was a flavorful explosion. Highly recommend this place. I wrote this while still eating.

That lobster was SLAPPING😋🤤 skirt steak was nice and tender. The Mac and cheese was good it was cheesy but needed some salt. Overall good food experience ✅

Took the family here for brunch as school was closed for the holiday. We waited a short time to be seated. The staff was warm and greeted us well. It's a great place for a quick bite and large menu options and culinary styles (Caribbean, American, Latin dishes etc.). Meals are reasonably priced and affordable even for the current economy.

I love coming to this diner! The prices are great, the service is on point and the food is always delicious! Not to mention the drinks. The have a huge selection and plenty to choose from. Everytime I go I order something different and the last is always stronger than the first. Can't complaint with that. This is my to go to spot for crab legs! THE BEST IN ALL OF QUEENS/ BROOKLYN!

1st time dining here and it was good....my shrimp wrap definitely a little dry but our server and drinks were amazing. The atmosphere is also really cool..there was a LARGE menu..I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good meal

I've been dining here for over 30 years, sometime the food changes but always good food. I moved to Saint Albans but still go back for the crab legs, no one beats their Cajun sauce (crab legs)

Lindenwood Diner has been a google maps favorite of mines. Simply, because you can hardly find services like this from a fast food franchise. The parking lot is small, yet you should find ample space. The staff greets you upon entry to determine if you want dine in or have take out. The place is clean as far as the eye can see, the food is delicious, the staff is friendly, accessible and efficient. Stop bye and check it out for yourself.

They change their recipe for Mac and cheese but the crab legs are good. I mean the crab legs are really good but they also increased their prices . I like what they did with place as far as the decor. Really nice . 👌

I make time to dine in whenever I'm in NY. The food is just great. Hope to be sitting at one of the tables on 3/8/2026 after my plane lands.

Food was delicious! Crab legs are great. The Cajun isn't really spicy, but it's good. Got a grilled cheese with bacon, delicious! Bacon was crispy bread was toasted just right. Their Cobb salad wasn't that great. Their blt needs some improvement. Don't put a ton of lettuce to make it look bigger. Waiter was a bit slow and forgot things we asked for even though he wrote it down🤔 The alcoholic drinks are made well and not diluted. I love that there is always parking here. Overall a good experience.

Place is clean for is good. I had breakfast with my family dine in Saturday morning around 10am. Place was jumping. We were 8 waiting time for us was 30 or so minutes. That didn’t work especially when you have kids with you . Good food on the menu$$.

Stopped into this old famous diner for a little breakfast. I haven't been here in years. At one time It was considered an old Mafia hang out spot. Odviously, times change and that is no longer the case. Was recently renovated a few years ago with a very bright, colorful atmosphere and new menu. I had shrimp and grits, which was decent, not not prepared like in the south. It's definitely worth a stop in this place.

A good spot to stop by and have a bite to eat no matter time of day. Been here quite a few times always had the crab legs ot penne a la vodka or a burger couldn’t go wrong. It gets crowded though so just be ready to wait. They have breakfast all day and a good amount of various dishes outside of that. Definitely something for everyone in the menu. Had the breakfast combo worth it everything was cooked well on this day. My aunt and I enjoyed it. Definitely worth a try if in the East NY area.

Service was a bit slow but the food was good. Really big portion of home fries with the eggs Benedict. Home fries were really good.

The Carrot Cake Ruined It. I was this close to giving Lindenwood Diner a full five stars. Like hand hovering over the screen close. And then… the carrot cake happened. Let me start with the good because there is a LOT of good here. I went twice in the past two weeks because I try my best not to judge a place off one visit. Consistency matters. And baby, Lindenwood Diner is consistent. The Seafood Scampi is a must. Fresh clams, muscles, a good portion of crab with claws included. It’s that girl period! The char grilled burgers awesome as well. Juicy, seasoned, cooked how you ask. The salad with the homemade French dressing is elite. I need that recipe. The coffee is endless, as diner coffee should be. The fried shrimp and the fish and grits were okay, not life changing but quality and solid. Everything is made to order and came out fresh. I also like that the menu is very diverse and inclusive. Customer service also deserves a shout. We had a small hiccup and the manager fixed it immediately. No attitude. No excuses. Just solutions. Love that. Now… the cake. I was literally walking out, minding my business, when I saw another patron eating the carrot cake. It looked GOOD good. So I doubled back like, let me grab a slice. Big mistake. The cake tasted like a boxed spice cake pretending to be carrot cake. The frosting did not taste like cream cheese frosting. And the shredded carrots on the outside felt like a costume, not an ingredient as the cake itself was plain. It was simply not the carrot cake I was hoping for and for 9 bux, I was a bit let down. If you have a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and order the pineapple coconut cake or the strawberry cheesecake and leave the carrot cake exactly where it is. That said, parking is free, portions are big, service is great, and everything else absolutely hits. So yes, four stars. Because if that carrot cake had minded its business, this would have been a clean five.

Stephanie

The food is delicious. Only once we ordered food and it was not good. Everyones allowed an off day. But, I never like the drinks. I dont know what brand alcohol they use but I dont like it. The crablegs are always big and juicy. The service is always top tier.

j22

Delish, great nice flavor of island dishes can't complain looking for round two😋💯 just being tough a solid 4 to 5 star dinner the 4 star is because I plan on going back to taste something else one my favorite then I can say if 5 all star all round ok. But the whole group didn't have no complaints and I was picking and eat from some of my family that's how the real family we eat and taste but when I go back got to taste those Lamb chops and beef ribs and see if they really cut deep all around 5 ok. But so far all good.

Sherise Swanson

What a great experience! The server was so polite and attentive. The food was great. We went for lunch and made plans to go back for dinner.

Let me say this first: the servers and customer service are the BEST. I honestly wish every place had service like this. They deserve raises — you can tell they’re genuinely happy to be at work, and that kind of positive energy makes a huge difference. The diner is clean, beautifully decorated, and even the bathroom is nice with great music playing in it. Now for the food experience… unfortunately, it wasn’t great. I ordered the Latino Grill for Two and asked for no tomatoes because my sister is allergic. It still came with tomatoes. I requested my skirt steak medium rare, and it came well done. On top of that, the food and veggies were cold. We ate a little and took the rest home to warm up ourselves. The manager came over to ask how everything was, and I was honest about being unhappy with the food being wrong and cold. I suggested that if they’re going to serve this dish, it needs to come out on a sizzling hot plate. He suggested putting a top on it, but that won’t help — a lid won’t fix cold food. The flavor was good, but I don’t recommend this dish unless it’s served on a hot plate. It’s a waste of money to order food in a restaurant only to have to take it home to heat it up. I go out to eat in the restaurant, not to warm up my food later. You received 3 stars because of your servers customer service and a clean environment. Note to manager when you do make the changes let me know.

Had an urge for diner food and stopped here. A quaint diner at the end of east New York, borderline Queens. Let me start off by saying the scenery was cute and the cornbread was my absolute favorite thing. Definitely going back strictly for the cornbread. With that being said, I wasn’t too pleased with my omelette plate coming out dirty. Asked for a new one and the next omelette came with a whole lot of egg shells in it. 😕 I feel like it would’ve been really good otherwise. Also got salmon cakes, those were pretty mediocre. I’ve heard rave reviews about this place, it didn’t really live up to it. I’ll try them on a less busy day.

I should have recorded this! While waiting on our food we got unwanted entertainment from the staff behind the sit down bar! They were two Mexican workers who got into a tangle that seemed to go on for maybe 5 to 10 minutes. An older guy was picked on by two younger boys. He was really not in the mood to play which seems that they pick on him a lot. Definitely was not professional at all and was quite making me uncomfortable. Ok the food. I saw on the menu they had fish and grits. I asked to switch out to fried shrimp and grits. Well I got fried butterfly shrimp with grits. See photo. If you take a look at my review for Divan you will see what shrimp and grits suppose to be. My play aunti asked for salsa to go with her omelette and she received a dipping cup full of Pico de Gallo. The service was great. That’s it for this review.

La Ridel

My daughter and I tried their special latin Caribbean dishes. Let's just say that for me I tasted better. The chicken curry I choose was something like a boiled chicken that they probably used for all their chicken dishes and that they just pour curry on top of it. Mixed it around and served. So, on the first bite is good, but as you continue to chew the flavor disappear. My daughter had the jerk salmon. The flavor is not even out. So, they must have just sprinkle little jerk on one side and heavy jerk on the other side. Overall, as my daughter puts it, it was an experience. But, it could have been a good one.

Collette H

So, wanted some diner food. Atmosphere pretty calm and good music. Down to the food now. Order sweet plantains which was amazing!(I'm fanatic when it comes to plantains)Next the salmon burger which was ok. Was falling apart. Shrimp pasta was a 5/10, unseasoned. Asked for grilled shrimp and they gave me steam shrimp under the cheese.Sauce taste straight out the can/jar as well.YIKES To the cake now..VERY MID lol, little stiff. And i thought the icing part would have been actual graphs cracker toppings lol it’s actual a whole sugar paste

Not a big fan of this place, kind of pricey for the chef in the back to cook lazy or cheap. There was 3 in my party and each of us had a tasting dull situation also order soda. And it was flay, didn't even bother with a refill, and a fountain flat drink was $4....not worth it. Won't recommend and won't return

I usually wouldn’t write a bad review at a place I often love, but it must be known that I ordered online and received the lobster tails with the middle cut out. I’m assuming they use the extra for a lobster mac & cheese for someone else because when I had it in the diner, it was perfect and wonderful. I provided comparison photos. Just strange.

Horrible food, horrible servers, prices are sky high. I don’t live in nyc and don’t care for a carribean mix type food, but the prices don’t make sense. I ordered American type foods and was very disappointed when the waitress and manager walked away when we told them the Oreo cheesecake was too hard. Apparently I was made that day. Nothing was done to reticule the situation.
