Will have to come back for dinner. read more

Cute diner, great spam and eggs. They can get pretty busy on the weekends, seems like a lot of DoorDash... This can make service a bit slower, at least with my experience. read more

This place is the epitome of a diner! The decor?l, the menu, the whole experience! This was my 1st time here while visiting WA. It was very busy but worth the wait because we were all hungry and the food was delicious. Very hearty meals and big "diner" sized portions. I ordered the big apple skillet and I highly recommend! So flavorful and filling! My husband had the coned beef hash and it was also delicious! Service was good and ambiance was very lively! Good overall experience! read more

If you're wanting good old fashioned diner food and experience, the red apple is where it's at! We've been here a few times and never left hungry, even my teenage boys left full! While you're there, grab a shake, they're delicious! My wife and I always seem to get the breakfasts, but my boys have tried both breakfasts and lunch foods and have always been happy. read more

Luz was an amazing server! We got the loaded diner chips poutine style and wow what a delight! Reminded me of my years living in Montreal. We also split some delicious gluten-free waffles and a divine chocolate shake. I was so impressed with the gluten-free options here! read more

Food was of good quality. Service was intermittent. Difficult to get attention and before you finish your request, server walks away. I ordered the open face roast beef sandwich. Chef was spot-on by adding gravy in fries. Bits of the meat were over-cooked. I will return but it ain't no Jersey diner. Nice ambiance. read more

An adorable old school diner themed restaurant with nostalgia everywhere. From the music they played to the seating options. The servers were very friendly and sweet. The food came on time and there was a variety to choose from. I got the 3 alarm burger with chipotle ranch and a mint Oreo shake. It was delicious and reasonably priced. I personally would've never stopped by from just the view of outside but after seeing reviews and recommendations from a friend we had to check it out. read more

Service was amazing, but the food was another story. It didn't taste good at all. I got eggs with potatoes, and it was basically like eating egg potatoes soup. My husband's meal didn't taste good at all either. His was really salty and mushy. Won't be coming back. read more

This has quickly become my favorite spot in all of kitsap county! I absolutely love the atmosphere, the music, the style, and the food is AMAZING every time! My partner and I have started coming in about weekly at this point, it's just too good! Servers have always been super sweet and attentive even when it's crazy busy inside. I highly recommend their monte cristo, club sandwich, Italian sodas and deserts, but everything there is incredible!! read more

We love it here. Anytime we're in town to visit my in-laws we make a point of coming and getting breakfast here at least once. It's a classic diner, and they try to keep the 50s "feel". They also offer classic diner food, pancakes, omelettes, biscuits and gravy, etc... Everything is always good and the staff is friendly and helpful. They're also known for their milkshakes. Again, can't recommend this place enough. read more

Took mom out for a nice diner breakfast at the Big Apple Diner. Nice diner environment, clean, friendly staff, pretty decent menu options. I chose two pancake breakfast. It also had eggs, hash browns, and bacon. The hash browns were buttery and crispy shreds and bacon thick sliced and tasty. Scrambled eggs were good. My only complaint was the pancakes. They were good size but tough, needed to be cut with a knife. The batter needs some work. The servings are large and worth the money. Picked up cinnamon roll to go. To much frosting for me but the roll was quality for those who like frosting. Definitely plan to return lots of breakfast items yet to be tried and then lunch choices....... read more

I was seated, and ordered an omelette. When the omelette came I had to flag another waitperson to get fork and knife, and napkins. The server never came to check on me. I had to go to the cashier to get my check. Omellete was good, but not worth putting up with the negligent service. read more

We happened across this little gem while visiting the USS Turner Joy. It's a short drive from there. We had the best waitress and we were seated right away. She was friendly, made suggestions for meals and was right on with water refills and anything we might have needed. Service was excellent. The food came out as ordered and hot. Ordered the prime rib open faced sandwich and it was delicious! Also ordered a prime rib dip and the flavor was amazing. Came with fries that were hot and crispy and so good. Playing 50's hits and cute booths and decor was an added plus. All the employees were very friendly. We tried the peach cobbler milkshake and orange cake and they was very good. We went early and when we left it was starting to fill up. We are visiting from out of town and may go back again for breakfast! I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Big Apple Diner - Some sort of orange desert cake. It was very good. Also had strawberry. - Diners Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

A fun 50's themed restaurant with lots of parking along the side and back. This is next to the Big Apple Market so the lot in front seems to fill up. There was a short wait on a Saturday for lunch. A popular place to eat and kid friendly! I tried the Green River soda, which is more sour and then carbonated. I understand that they make this in house and something to try. For my entree, I chose the hot meatloaf sandwich. It was a cold, rainy day and this seemed like some good comfort food. I really enjoyed the taste, not over powering by any okie seasoning. And was a large plate! Maybe a little more gravy, so order a side if you like. I could not finish it all. The mashed potatoes were creamy with chucks of potato in it. read more

I'm very blessed to have a job that allows me to travel around to places that is "local" but not that local. I would never imagine myself to be out in Bremerton, WA, but duty called and here I am. I had to take the ferry over so decided to leave a little earlier than my appointment to see what kind of breakfast spots there are around here. And Yelp definitely didn't disappoint. Came to Big Apple Diner based off the reviews and I can say it didn't disappoint. Entering the diner on a Thursday morning and right off the bat it's pretty packed. Although smaller of a typical diner to me you can really feel the 50's or 60's style theme and instantly tell it had a small town vibe. I don't usually eat breakfast, but when I do at a diner, I almost always other 1 of three things. Today was the corn beef hash only because I saw one reviewer say it was bad. To my surprise, it was fantastic. Perfectly seasoned with and I like my corn beef with a little bit of crisp. They slap the potatoes in there which were soft in the middle but also had a slight crisp to it as well. Eggs ordered sunny side up so I can slap some of that nice egg yolk on to the corn beef and hash. Service was pretty good too. I can understand some things since it looked like there were only 2-3 servers with a full house. All in all, a solid 4 stars experience. Not sure if I'll ever be back cause it's way out of the way for me, but I would recommend this spot to anyone else that may be in the area looking for some breakfast. read more

Great food and service!! Staff is friendly. Food was reasonably priced very good. Definitely would go there again and recommend.

Based on the food and prices I would rate higher, but this was our first time here and the service was disappointing. We arrived at 12:10 (Saturday) and we could see empty tables, yet we stood in the entry for over 20 minutes until we were acknowledged. Then another 5 minutes before we were seated. Another 8 minutes before asked if we wanted drinks, and another 5 before the drinks came out. It was actually 42 minutes from arriving until we got our lunch. Making it worse, while waiting to be seated a woman with 3 out of control kids was trying to pay and two of them were screeching loudly. That's not the fault of the staff, but harder to take when waiting so long. read more

Big Apple Diner - Counter area - Diners Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

TLDR/ Price: A bit high, Atmosphere: Casually Nostalgic, Service: Fair, Verdict: Why not. Solid breakfast and lunch spot. A bit pricey for what we got, but then again everything is right now. If you are near this fun curio of a place, then go ahead and give it a try. While the breakfast wasn't the best I have ever had in my life, it certainly held it's own against the likes of chain restaurants like IHOP or Denny's. The Mom and Pop feel and retro 50's decor made this place a worthwhile stop off on our way to the Lavender Festival. My hubby had a chopped sirloin dinner with veggies and a side salad. I had ham and eggs. Both were cooked properly and served hot. The house made blue cheese dressing alone was worth the stop, as it was surprisingly nay alarmingly good. I found myself transported to a simpler time and I honestly forgot where I was for a moment in the kitsch nostalgia of this little place. They were not too busy but the customers all seemed content, which is what you want in a diner atmosphere. Try it if you find yourself nearby. read more

A full order of hashbrowns and gravy NOT a side order wouldn't feed a bird. Very disappointed!

We love the big apple diner. It's great comfort diner food, wonderful staff, excellent portion sizes. We have never had a bad experience here. read more

Came back from a hike and decided to stop here again. Service was slow to seat me despite 4-5 people walking around, I'd understand it if they were slammed, but it was maybe 4 tables tops full inside. Getting acknowledged would have been helpful, but it took them a long while. Ordered a burger cooked medium and came out well done, dry, and bland. Probably won't stop here again post-hike on the peninsula. The sole bright-side is Lindsay the server was attentive when we finally got sat down. read more

Long waits. They're busy so took a while to order food and get served. Food okay and did not come out hot. Pretty disappointed.

The good, the food came out quick...the bad - it was warm at best. The only warm thing on my plate was the eggs. Biscuits weren't even warm , but the gravy was warm in spots. Potatoes might be considered warm. At best...hell, I would have at least appreciated a quick run in the microwave. Sausage was cold enough that I wasn't comfortable eating it because wasn't sure how well it was cooked... Sacrifice quality for speed - I will not be back. * So forgot to mention that my wife's meal wasn't any better, actually worse. She asked for extra crispy bacon and it was far from crispy - actually rubbery where she didn't even eat it. I started with a 3 star and accounted it for a bad day, but moving down to 2 the more I think about it and after talking to my wife. I addressed the issue when I paid (didn't want anything, but you can't fix what you don't know) and was basically told..."well we are busy". Prices go up and everything else goes down ....yeah, I will spend my money somewhere else. Shame, used to be one of my favorites. read more

Fantastic food! Great pancakes. Large stuffed omelets. Classic vibe. Try the phosphate.

First time here and really enjoyed it. The interior was a pleasant surprise, wasn't expecting an old school 50s diner vibe but really liked it. Went on a Saturday around 1130 and it was super packed, so service was a little slow but can't hold that against them. Tried the Reuben Sandwich and onion rings, very good greasy food. I will be back. read more

I know that there are new owners. Sometimes the food is good here. Today not so much. Eggs Benedict, packaged tasteless sauce. The potatoes were cold and the prices have gotten extremely high. Service was good as always. I am finding that with higher restaurant prices, the food quality is lacking in a lot of them. read more

I don't know what they did in the kitchen but the great food is back. Real potatoes and my steak was cooked perfectly

Excellent food except for the bread, their sourdough leaves a lot to be desired. The service however is impeccable, my coffee never once ran dry and the food was served quick and hot. The ambience is a bit dated but that's the point, the music is great if you love oldies. read more

Friendly service and nice old dinner feel. ordered german potato pancakes and came with 3 large servings with applesauce (yum!) and sour cream. There was a small amount of sausage in the pancakes. ordered the big apple breakfast which crepes, french toast, potato pancake and sausage (or bacon). This is a heavy carb meal with lots of food! lastly ordered the fried oysters which was tasty (how can fried food not be tasty!). Last time we were here was over a decade ago. Nice homey feel. read more

Best breakfast in Kitsap County! The 50's theme is fun and the staff is just lovely (one of them calls everybody "hun" and it's so cute!) But listen: It's all about the sausage gravy. Ok wait, it's all about the amazing bacon. No... it's all about the perfectly cooked eggs ... or is all about the the O'brien potatoes? The coffee, fresh oj (yes, they have mimosas!) - this place is the whole package. The Big Apple is everything I ever wanted in a breakfast place. That said, I can't wait to try the lunch! read more

Big Apple is one of our go to places for breakfast and dinner. We started coming here after the change in ownership and have really enjoyed it. The diner is decked out in 50s/60s memorabilia with a soundtrack to match. The staff are friendly and as prompt as they can be depending on how busy it is. The breakfast burger and Reuben sandwich are my favorites here. Skip the Monte Cristo though. read more

Service was great, we were seated immediately and waters were refilled pretty quick. We went for breakfast, the portions were way larger than we expected but they do offer take home boxes. Inside was a cute diner theme relatively clean with diner music playing. Knocked a star off because the cinnamon roll was just -okay- and it was kind of pricy. Not a thick chewy gooey roll which is what I expected. It's a thin almost croissant like dough. The cream cheese frosting was delicious though and deserves a heftier roll! read more

Great food, very friendly staff... Love this place!! A must visit for breakfast or lunch!

Odered the hash browns with sausage gravy. Potatoes were burned crisp. When arriving, I got seated to table with menu and server was already waiting on order before I got settled in my seat. To get rid of her, I ordered coffee. Within two minutes of placing my order, I got the food. Obviously, it was sitting cooking for a while as the restaurant just opened. Naturally, I got no refills on coffee and server was hanging around chatting along with the cook ignoring customers. Had to get up and get my own to-go container. Seems to be the norm everywhere I go these days. Ambiance has improved since the last time I was there years ago. Could use better cleaning as it seemed musty. Do not recommend. read more

Went tonight and waited to be seated. No one acknowledged us finally asked and gal said we could have little table I asked to have regular table several were empty. She said I could just wait then. Probably should have left but seated ourselves and watched everyone walk by for 5 minutes till finally one stopped. My chicken strips were so overcooked and the other person didn't get what she ordered. No service was given after like refills etc we had to ask for check. I did not leave a tip Manager made excuses but that's it. read more
