As out-of-towners who knew absolutely nothing about the area, we took a chance on The Breakfast House and are so glad we did. It's a small, no-frills place that's really not much to look at from the outside, and honestly, we almost passed it by. That would have been a huge mistake. The food was outstanding. Sometimes the simplest breakfast is the hardest to get right, and they got everything right. The eggs were perfect, the sausage was delicious, and the home fries were some of the best we've had. The real star was the pancakes. They were light, fluffy, packed with flavor, and easily some of the best pancakes we've ever had. Don't judge this place by its appearance. If you're looking for a truly great breakfast, give it a try. read more

I don't know how I had never been here before, but we stopped for breakfast there recently and it was great. It has an old school diner/luncheonette vibe on the inside. We sat at the counter. The staff was friendly. Everyone was working hard and happy to help. The food was filling and delicious. Was this a Michelin star, fine dining restaurant? No. Of course not. It's a dive-y, unassuming breakfast spot, with a slant towards Latin items (think breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, etc), although they have all the standard breakfast items. The prices are very fair and the food was good, hearty, and simple, with great flavor. For breakfast, this is exactly what I want. read more

I was recommended "Breakfast House" by someone and happened to be in the area. I decided to take his advice and give it a try. There is no parking so get ready to pay a meter. The outside of the building seems to fit the area, old with history. Inside was the same. It was a bit run down, but I was okay with that. The one thing I was surprised about was no one seated you. I didn't know if I should wait or find a seat. No one told me. So I walked over to a table, but It was not clean. The waitress came over and cleaned it with me seated. She tried to take my order, but there was a language barrier. She got her colleague who did an excellent job. However, have must report that the food wasn't at the level to report on. The potato's had Spanish spice which I enjoyed, but outside of that, nothing. After I went to pay and there was some confusion, but it was handled. I walked away very underwhelmed. Maybe I should have tried one of their wraps. Am I talking myself into going back. Well, we will see I guess. read more

The outside is a cute little store. Inside was smaller than I thought. The lady said we could sit wherever we wanted so we chose a table by the window. There is an extensive breakfast menu with pancakes, waffles, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches and platters. To share we got the Average Breakfast Platter which is two eggs, home fries, toast, and choice of meat. We also got an extra side of sausage. It was a solid breakfast. The toast was crunchy but I wished they didn't pre-buttered it. The bacon was crispy. The eggs over easily were perfectly cooked. The sausage were the typical breakfast sausage links. The home fries were a surprise. They were soft but not mushy, parts were nicely charred, and it was well seasoned. read more

This was a standard in good basic food in Pt C for years. The service was quick and the food cooked well. The last two and final times I went the service of food time was very slow 15 minutes and they were not busy.the eggs were over cooked on one visit and the next time I had the gummiest pancakes with very fatty bacon. I'm sorry to see a favorite of mine decline so much. read more

This is a review of my recent breakfast (eggs, bacon, home fries, coffee) at this compact diner in Port Chester, NY. This was a very good breakfast standard, served efficiently by the attentive staff. In this time of crazy price inflation, prices here are exceptionally reasonable, including high quality coffee from Pascal Coffee Roasters of Yonkers. There is both table and counter service. Bathrooms are immaculately clean,. read more

I stopped in for a late breakfast the other. I had a western omelet. It was excellent. The veggies were fresh. The home fries were the best I've had in many years. Great service, too. read more

There was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing really great with it. It was just a mediocre little place. The people were very nice. The menu was very limited and the food was just OK. read more

My first time didn't know what to expect. Staff were friendly. I ended up getting the complete breakfast (eggs, turkey bacon, and pancakes) definitely worth it. You won't break the bank going here at all. Good vibes all around. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

Breakfast House - The complete breakfast. Eggs, turkey bacon, pancakes - Delis Near Me - Port Chester, New York

My 1st visit. I drove from the Bronx. After my granddaughter and I waited several minutes, a young woman with 2 children came in after me. Once a table became available the immediately sat her while looking me in the face. It was VERY obvious to me that my dollars were not wanted. The woman they seated appeared to be of the same nationality. I encourage any POC to stay away! read more

Awesome chicken cutlet made fresh. Came here when it was Vinnies and still try and eat here when I am in the area. read more

If you look on Google you'll find that this place is now called Breakfast House. And the pictures you'll see seem to be posted by patrons but seem also to have the quality of high resolution professional photos. The food looks too perfect. There's no way these are patrons' photos. So you think to yourself this must be an amazing breakfast place. Then you get there and you realize it is just a tiny, dinky diner. Nothing special. Nothing pretty. But for some reason it's full of people. That's a good sign. The second good sign is that if you go on a Sunday, which I don't totally recommend, you will wait no less than 20 minutes just to have your food brought to your table. The reason why is from what I can tell they only have one cook and he has a small space to do his masterful work in, and Sundays are swamped. The staff, who may be relatives I think, are so sweet and so considerate that those 20 minutes go by quite quickly. I think the real reason I'll come back is just to watch this man cook. The menu is quite broad for a breakfast place and exceedingly affordable. But what's really amazing is how much effort he puts into everything being so perfect, so presentable, so flawless. I watched intently as a Belgian waffle left his hand to the waitress while he quickly added a bit more whip cream on top, then watched him shift his body to flip and toast a breakfast burrito, then stepping back to pull out the broiler tray below his grill to check on the toasted bagel with cheese, closing it as he leaned forward and poured out a thin layer of eggs for a perfect omelette. All that and you would think that he had multiple arms with the speed at which he works. He is an artist. Yes this is a simple diner, no they won't win a Michelin award, but he is a master of his trade. I will return just watch him cook. And those photos really are from patrons. Here are mine. read more

We had breakfast there and it was great. It's definitely old school, which my husband and I like about it. I had the huevos rancheros and he got the Florentine omelette. Both were great and the service was excellent, especially for a busy Saturday morning. We will definitely be returning to try other things. Also, the prices make it even better. read more

The old Vinny's was an institution. The food was consistently good and fairly priced and the specials menu kept you going back on a regular basis. In contrast, The breakfast House is a poorly run successor. The menu is uninspiring and there are not daily specials - Both the food and service are super disappointing. The restaurant is under staffed with untrained servers. I ordered an open face turkey sandwich and the turkey was low cost turkey roll served in a pool of overly salted watery gravy. This is not the homemade turkey that Vinny and his brother would serve up. The clock is ticking and restaurants with poor service, inedible food made with inferior ingredients typically don't have much durability. I expect that this restaurant will fade from the downtown Port Chester landscape. What a shame. read more

Excellent old fashion dinner with very tasty food served with lots of love and dedication. The owners are so nice and go out of their way to accommodate everyone. Very clean dinner. It's our favorite place to have breakfast at. The best bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Really good value for the portions. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Worth the trip. read more

Just like the first breakfast I made for Mom. All the pieces are there, but the presentation and flavor are unremarkable

This place is pretty wack to be honest. All my coworkers swear by it, but I don't really get the appeal. $5 for a bacon egg and cheese that comes with one egg? That's sad. read more

First time visiting and we waited a crazy amount of time for our food. They didn't have home fries which is super weird considering they're just chopped potatoes, but they had hash browns which were from a package. We weren't told how it works from the beginning and so we sat around for another 20 plus minutes waiting to be brought the check before someone told us we had to go up, tell them what we ordered and pay for it after our meal. My friend ordered a breakfast that said it came with coffee so she ordered an iced coffee only to be told at the checkout counter that that didn't count as a coffee with the meal so it was extra. It appears they are cash only but it doesn't say that anywhere in the restaurant, you're just supposed to be at the mercy of the ATM if you didn't already know. The waitress was really nice and the food was decent, but that was about it. Would much rather just go to the diner. read more

Vinny's is a classic lunch counter. When you step inside, it is like going back in time. The decor is outdated and if you don't like it, too bad. I doubt they will be updating anytime soon. But that is part of the charm. They serve classic lunches you can eat at the counter, or take with you- there aren't many tables. The menu is short and sweet. Sandwiches, pasta dishes and traditional breakfast dishes as well. On Friday's, there are seafood pasta specials with shrimp or calamari. They have the best pasta sauce in town. You can choose between sweet or spicy red sauce, or garlic and oil. The staff is sweet and always helpful. Don't forget cash! They do not accept cards. read more

Phenomenal food and staff. Very clean restaurant as well. I wish I took a photo but it looked so good I didn't have time to! Great portion for a cheap price and it's food they hit out of the ballpark. Classic 2 egg breakfast special w all the fixings is $6. Can't beat the price and the place! Definitely recommend for your weekend or just breakfast spot! read more

We love this place. Fast, delicious...affordable. This is a short order kinda jon if you're looking for a big menu look elsewhere but if down-home, griddle born breakfast is what you're after; this is your place. read more

Can you say OLD SCHOOL? They don't make 'em like this anymore, folks. Perfectly juxtaposed against Batali's Tarry Lodge, Market, and Wines across the street, this place has been humming along since the early 70s. And it looks like they haven't even noticed the changing decades! The prices apparently have not changed either, which bumps this place from a four to a five in my book. The first time I went, I ordered a classic two eggs, with bacon and toast meal. The waiter asked if I'd like a side of chili with that. Um, yeah! Someone seriously needs to research Port Chester's fascination with the chili. I've only been for breakfast so far (they are only open until 4 or so, and 1 on Saturday and closed on Sunday), but it's some of the best around. Another no frills establishment, but who needs frills when you've got great food and outstanding prices. Really itching to get there for lunch! read more

Definitely tucked away but worth the effort! Staff was friendly, service was fast, and food was good. Cash only spot, but they do have an ATM to make up for it. The service was insanely fast; I sat down, was served coffee, and ordered my food. By the time I had FINISHED my food, my coffee was still almost too hot to drink. Typical greasy spoon with excellent service and atmosphere, would absolutely recommend. read more

Breakfast House - French Toast with Bacon - Delis Near Me - Port Chester, New York

I'll give Vinny's 3 stars just for the fact I came back after 15 years and it wasn't that great. Back in 98 i used to come with my co-workers and it was amazing. Today it was just an average experience. The steak on the steak and cheese looked straight up from restaurant depot. Not the quality i was used to from Vinny's. One thing i have to give them, back then service was terrible, this time, al smiles and extremely nice. Get it together Vinny's. read more

A delicious breakfast very friendly atmosphere. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because they did not bring my toast until I was almost finished with my eggs, and they brought me buttered toast when I had asked for no butter. Minor mistake that can easily be corrected the next time and turn this into a five star rating. Very good very affordable, good spot. read more

I love this place - the atmosphere isnt so great - it is just a luncheonette - but the food choices and amount of good food you get makes it worth the trip. Everyone that works there is really friendly too. One of my favorite lunch spots - I would go more if I wanted to gain 20 pounds! read more

I love old school places like this. Though we had the friendliest service from our waiter, the food was - well, as breakfasts out for me usually go..too greasy and blah. Omelettes were a good size but had too much of the flavor of old oil. Hashbrowns were okay and they serve with a ton of sliced toast. Not sure if fair to rate lowly since we both only tried the omelettes. I did think the egg sandwiches served next to us looked delicious! This, I'm guessing is what to order and they are super cheap. read more

I love Vinny's! Great place to go for breakfast or lunch in downtown Port Chester. The food is excellent! I love the chili, steak and peppers and their dinners are delicious! The service is friendly and attentive. The prices are very reasonable! Love it! read more

Man this place took a turn for the worse. I ask for fries with my Eggs, the cook had a attitude. I told him to give me the home fries, since it was such a bother. I heard this place is no longer good. I won't be back no more. read more

I live in Port Chester temporarily for work (I'm originally from Miami) and have tried various nearby places for breakfast but Vinny's usually has been the most consistent for me regarding breakfast options. I am a simple guy who likes my eggs scrambled (or omelette option), bacon and pancakes. Vinny's does all 3 at a good price ($12 for all that when any McDonald's combo in this area goes for more than $10). I like the place even if others complain about how good it was in the past. I'm not from Port Chester or care about its history so whatever Vinny's does for me I judge it just by that. I like it and think breakfast is good. I have not tried any non breakfast items. read more

I cannot believe Vinny's has never been reviewed. They have been in business since 1973. Totally old school looking, with incredibly delicious food and prices that look like they haven't been raised in the last 20 years. A bowl of fabulous home made soup for $2.50. That's a bowl, not a cup. Sandwiches for $5 or less. The most expensive item on the menu is $12. Friendly, sweet service by Mrs. Vinny. Mr. Vinny does the cooking. They open at 5 a.m. daily and close at 4 p.m. This place is the bomb. We will be back, for sure. read more

Ditto to the prior reviewer. I live around the corner, and feel so fortunate to have this place nearby. Great lunch counter character, great lunch counter _characters_, cheap and awesome eats, quick service. The first time I had the hot Italian sausage with eggs for breakfast, I went into a sort of trance dreaming about how good it was. Every time I get breakfast, the total bill is about $8. Amazing. read more

+10 Best breakfast/lunch Resturant in Port Chester. Food is excellent. They go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. Been coming here for years with my dad and now bring my daughters. They love the raviolis and chicken wings. It's a family owned restaurant. Different special everyday. If you're in town give it a try you won't regret it. Great Atmosphere Vinny's Lunch is a must... read more

Vinny's has great food and service, but yesterday they charged me $4.25 for a grapefruit juice, while my breakfast sandwich was $4.50. I've gone there many times and never been charged that much for juice, so I'm pretty upset over this weird up-charge. I didn't leave a tip because I spent almost $20 for just an omelette, coffee and bagel sandwich. Normally it's less than $15 with at least 15% tip. Vinny's is so reasonably priced too so I really don't know what happened. I still love their food and I will be back, but never buying a bottled beverage there again. read more

Food is kind of bland and the place needs a serious renovation. Felt like I traveled back in time when I entered.

Amazing old-school diner. I sat next to four cops, and had a face-full of delicious lasagna.

Been going to Vinny's for years. They care, want eggs soft NO PROBLEM. Their lunch specials are great. Sometimes I get them to go in the AM for tonight's dinner. The place is old school but is immaculate. I highly recommend this gem! read more
