    Roasted Chicken with fries and steamed vegetables.
    Sheena M.

    Avenida Diner serves good food, has fast service, and has a friendly staff--an excellent, clean environment for sitting and enjoying your meal.

    Great food great atmosphere and great prices it's always a wonderful experience when we go there.

    Thanksgiving Turkey Lunch special
    Sam M.

    I ordered the Thanksgiving lunch special and it tasted okay. However, the stuffing came out burnt so I had to eat parts of it. The turkey was also incredibly dry in some areas so I couldn't eat all of it. Was it worth $13? Absolutely not, but at least it wasn't terrible. So I would have given them a 3 but I have to take one off because of the service. It is a very basic thing to ask the customer, how was the food, and if they would like a refill. That alone could have made all the difference for a returning customer. I would have also tipped more. But without that hospitality, there's no heart to come back to.

    Western Omelette Vegetarian Omelette

    My friend and I came here for a quick Sunday breakfast. The food and service was AMAZING. Thank you Alex! I got the vegetarian egg white omelette and I added jalapeños & cheddar cheese (that came with home fries and toast) w/ a side of turkey bacon. My friend got the western omelette with a stack of pancakes w strawberry. Everything was fresh!! It was DELICIOUS!! I found my new diner spot!

    Wow, this place is underrated! I can't believe the coffee is one of the best, almost the same as most expensive coffee places in the city. However this Diner doesn't squeeze your wallet. We came here with Mommy for lunch. My husband and Mommy came here before but it's new to me. They used to open across the street and now moved to this side of the street, as reported by Hubby. Due to something new I didn't want to order anything extravagant, so I kept it simple, Avenita Omelette! Sounds fancy but it was really a veggie omelette that includes spinach, mushroom, tomato and onion. Mommy ordered the same. It served with potato. I usually substitute potato with lettuce and tomato but forgot to do it this time. I tried the potato and it was pretty good. My omelette? It was awesome! With not much oil and great ingredients and fresh veggies, they got my vote. Hubby ordered two eggs over easy with kosher salami. That's right, they carry kosher salami here. This is definitely a plus. Mommy and I had whole wheat toast with our omelette. I would prefer grain bread but they don't have this. However, the whole wheat was very good, harder texture than most whole wheat. So ok, I liked this place and I wouldn't mind stopping by just to have some good coffee!

    Chicken Caesar Wrap & Sweet Potato Fries
    Jonathan V.

    I came to this diner expecting typical diner food but let me tell you, once they hit me with the BENDY STRAW!!!! PHEWWW that made my day. I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap and Sweet Potato Fries, they were delish but the bendy straw is what really made my dinner better.

I dine here frequently, so I am familiar with the typical portion sizes. The meal I received was noticeably smaller than what is normally served. To the server's credit, she acknowledged the issue and offered to have it corrected without hesitation. The more concerning issue involved my friend, who politely requested plastic utensils. She was told they were only available for takeout orders. Due to a medical condition, she does not use reusable utensils in restaurants. We have never encountered this issue at any other restaurant. As a result, we were unable to comfortably dine in. When I spoke with the manager, I explained that refusing a reasonable accommodation was inappropriate. His response was, "You never told me that," referring to my friend's medical condition. To be clear, customers should not be expected to disclose or justify their private medical information in order to receive a simple accommodation. We ultimately packed up our food and left because no effort was made to resolve the situation. Additionally, I had placed a separate takeout order before all of this occurred, but it was never entered into the system. When the check arrived, I was confused as to why the order was missing. To make matters worse, I was informed that I could not order an item from the children's menu as a takeout meal for my daughter. This policy was surprising, as I have never experienced such a restriction at any other restaurant. Overall, this was a very disappointing visit. While I appreciate that the server was willing to correct my meal, the lack of reasonable accommodation, poor communication, and multiple service issues left us with a negative experience. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and reevaluates both their policies and their approach to customer service.

I'd seen it on Yelp for quite a while, and the food in the photos looked really promising. Unfortunately, when we pulled up and saw the location, I had a feeling it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. I was hungry enough that I decided to give it a chance anyway. If you're coming strictly for the food, I'd probably skip it. But if you're looking for a casual spot to relax with a beer and grab a bite, it does the job. Although the meal wasn't what I had hoped for, I do think the kitchen made the best of the ingredients they had. My husband ordered the steak sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tender the meat was, even though it clearly wasn't an expensive cut. I ordered the French onion soup, which lacked depth of flavor, had very few onions, and the bread was really soggy. My Caesar salad, on the other hand, was dressed and tossed perfectly, but the dressing tasted like it came straight from a bottle. If they made their own dressing, or even used a higher-quality one, it could have been an excellent salad. Our server was friendly and attentive, though she didn't seem very familiar with food terminology. I asked whether the onion rings were made fresh or frozen, and she replied, "They always taste fresh when I've had them." That pretty much answered my question, I'm guessing they were frozen. Overall, it wasn't a satisfying meal for me. Then again, I came for the food. If your goal is simply to unwind with a drink and some casual bar food, you'll probably have a much better experience than I did.

    I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

    This place has been renamed "Austin Street coffee and grill" and has an updated menu…read more First off, I want to point out the great customer service from the young man working on a Saturday morning. I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

In today's environment with so much hatred in the air, this place feels like an oasis right in my backyard. The food is always solid, with the salami breakfast plate being one of my favorites. It comes with three pieces of juicy and flavorful thick cut salami and three pieces fried cheese, two perfectly cooked running eggs, along with mashed plantains. Delicious! I also like their lunch foods, such as pernil and oxtail. The turkey wings are tasty, but a but dry. Their soups are some of my most ordered items as well. My usuals are the trip stew and cow's foot soup. If you look at the crowd, you'll notice a mix of latinos and locals who recognize this small shop as a neighborhood gem. There is nothing else like it in Forest Hills, so I do hope they are around for many generations to come. We need more places like this.

The feta was crumbled and evenly distributed in omelette not chunks of cheap feta like other restaurants. He also had an order of banana pancakes which were light, fluffy and tasty. Down side home fries suck, tasteless red mush. That is why they get a 4 star rating and not 5. Staff was extremely friendly. I will definitely be going there again hands down. They should push a more West Indies type menu. On the bottom of breakfast menu it only says we have West Indian breakfast. Then I had to ask what that meant.
