What an experience Im def not coming back here as everything didn't go as it should be. Food: well what a Flop!! The Turkey Bacon is very bland and not even crispy, it is very tastless the color in the picture clearly shows how boring the bacon is. The scrambled eggs misses spices and I needed to add salt and pepper myswlf from the table. Apple juice is bottled so its not even made fresh unfortunately. Service: I was running late no more than 10 minutes, so my friend was already there and she was getting pressured by the waitress why im late and she should change the table to single and then switch back to the booth when I get there. The thing is there were no people waiting so I dont know why the attitude. Atmosphere: very normal nothing too special about this place. read more

The food and ambience was typical diner fare. Having said that, I enjoy diners, and this was no exception! The service was quick, friendly and efficient. Just the way I love it! We ordered an egg, cheese and bacon sandwich on an everything bagel. Also, a breakfast plate with sausage, scrambled eggs, home fries (fried scalloped potatoes) and a cinnamon raisin bagel. Everything was served hot and was delicious. We have leftovers to enjoy tonight as a late night snack! If you see me sitting in a booth enjoying a breakfast sandwich, say hi and join me for good food and even better conversation. read more

Hispanic middle aged waitress was so incredibly rude, started a screaming match with a bunch of kids when she was in the wrong. I hope she gets fired. Seeing other reviews complain about the same woman, I'm surprised she's still working there. Irresponsible of the manager. read more

Horrible horrible horrible customer service and FOOD - YUCK So on thanksgiving we decided to order 4 dinners because it was just easier for us, while we were catering to 2 elderly family members - BIG MISTAKE The dinners were the worst meals we have ever had. The " Supposed " turkey seems like it was a sliced turkey from " Cold Cuts " The sweet potatoes looked like a colored pile of mud that was just disgusting. The stuffing - well, that tasted like sand. EVERYTHING was just BAD. When I called to speak to someone that said they were the owner, after having a hard time with her, she said she will refund only 3 of the dinners. 4 days later and still no refund. Called today and she said - Call your bank and get it because she will not refund it. Big big mistake dealing with this diner. Much better places around to go to than this disgusting place. read more

I went there for an early lunch with my husband. The service was very friendly, and the food came fast. I had the double decker turkey club and my husband had the pastrami decker club. Both were delicious. They both came with fries and an option of onion rings with coleslaw and a pickle. You can't go wrong for the price and quality of the food. Please give this neighborhood gem a chance. You will not be disappointed. read more

Fifth Avenue Restaurant & Diner - Empty dishes - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Standard Diner food, large portions. I ordered from here after a long night of being out and in the morning I wanted an omelette and fries! I have to say there omelettes are huge.I ordered the Spanish omelette I believe that is what its called. It was loaded with veggies. They made my friends omelette perfect, but my omelet I explicitly specified NO ONIONS due to my allergy. IT ARRIVED WITH ONIONS. Ugh. Called them they said sorry and sent me another omelet but it took a lot of time. I really appreciate it but it was annoying to eat alone since my friend finished eating. I think one person can easily share the three egg omelet. ITS HUGE and comes with lots of fries and bread. GET THE SWEET POTATO FRIES! They are not cheap on portion size. I would order from them again, they were ok. I just hope next time they get it right. Downside? For delivery only cash is accepted. read more

This is my go to place when I have the kids with me! They have a $8.50 lunch special for kids under 12 - burger and fries, chicken and friends, spaghetti and meatballs, mac and cheese ...plus choice of drink and ice cream! It's a great deal and alot of food. I got my usual greek salad. The friend got a panini which was massive. Because of covid the glass door windows are open and there is seating on 5th ave. Though it isnt ideal with the bus constantly passing us, we enjoyed a bit of normalcy for once! read more

Employee service was much better than I expected. Although, The restaurant itself looked kind of bland and boring. Also I had dinner when there were very few other customers.

Fifth Avenue Restaurant & Diner - Golden Brown Pancakes with Bacon Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The only good thing about this place is that it's open late from what I recall stumbling in here for some grub one night. Decided I wanted some pancakes and my friend ordered a pastrami sammy. The pancakes was firm, not fluffy and the canadian bacon seemed very tough as if perhaps it was taken out of a freezer and then overcooked. The pastrami tasted funky. The service however was decent. $10 min for Credit Card and they serve beer. I also got a bit of a stomach ache 30 minutes after we left. =( read more

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite Brooklyn diner, especially since I've come here three times in one week--for the milkshake, the baklava (best homemade baklava I've ever had, no question) and their burger. And their soups. And did I mention the milkshakes? Pure extra thick chocolate-y perfection. This is a true, family-owned NYC diner! read more

This is pretty saddening for me to do since I normally don't give reviews especially after being a daily customer for the past 4 months. But yesterday October 15th, 2018 I ordered my meal to go which was good as usual and I got a slice of carrot cake as desert which I've never had a problem with before but yesterday the carrot cake had MOLD inside! That I didn't realize nor notice until my third bite tasting very weird, this is a shock to me because I've never had a problem with the food it's usually very good but to accidentally consume MOLD leaving me nauseous and throwing up with food poisoning for hours I had to come here and leave a review. read more

Fifth Avenue Restaurant & Diner - Slow time but it's been like this for 20 min - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a totally respectable little diner (I think there are maybe a dozen booths/tables here) two blocks from the 4th Ave/9th Street train station. My hubby & I ate here just after midnight on Saturday because I was walking distance from the bars we'd been at (The Bell House & Halyards) and we needed to refuel before making the long journey back to Queens on mass transit :) We were seated and given menus and ice water immediately. The server was polite and helpful. I ordered a turkey burger with Swiss cheese, which came with a pickle and cole slaw, all of which was pretty good, though nothing to write home about. My husband had a chicken cordon bleu sandwich deluxe, which came with a pickle, cole slaw, lettuce, tomato, and fries. His sandwich was good and included the ingredients for cordon bleu, though it wasn't actually cordon bleu on a sandwich. Fries were warm, crispy, and decent. Prices are reasonable, tables are clean, bathroom is clean, service is good, and food is good enough. I'd come back for another late-night diner run. read more

5th Ave Diner is the default restaurant to order from when the team is working late, which in the summer happens quite often in the EDU world. I've never been to the location so I won't make any claims on that front and this the below is based only on delivery via Seamless. It's not the greatest or most exciting place in the area in terms of food quality, taste or presentation. Once in a while they get things wrong. However more often than not it's exactly what we need. The food is good, the drivers are quick, corteous and always greet you with a smile. My biggest peeve with delivery is drivers who won't/can't figure out the Bell. We literally have a picture of a Bell in the intercom. HAS NEVER been a problem with 5th Ave. As long as you have the right expectations going in, you won't be disappointed. read more

The bs: The other night I ate at Daisy's and as I walked past this place, Martin (the bartender from Excelsior) waved as he chow'd down after serving his regulars - oh wait, wasn't that one of his regulars sitting with him at the table? The slope being the small town that it is, I subsequently ran into him waiting for the bus outside of Daisy's. He mentioned that this was his preferred diner so I felt the need to follow up on his suggestion. The facts: I had the brisket on a Kaiser roll with fries ($5.75 + $2.50). Had the option of gravy so I ordered it on the side. Overall the brisket wasn't one of those butter-like servings that just falls apart on contact but hell I didn't pay enough to expect the Rabi to be blessing the kitchen so I won't complain. The fries had a nice golden patina like all good fries should. Fresh oil and the pale anemic color it leaves on fries makes me feel uneasy anyway. The coffee was typical diner quality. The meal deserves 3+ stars rounded to 4 because of the way reasonable price. Continuing my sugary ways I ordered the lemon meringue pie ($2.50) and was served a slice of a tall average meringue with a lemon filling more like a lemon pudding than your typical lemon filling. The crust was a yellow lemon flavored cake in the tradition of Junior's. Not the best I've had but it certainly helped raise my blood sugar level. Ok I just took another bite and it's tasting a little too artificial. Maybe this part gets 2 stars. The waitress I had did a great job of being attentive and also giving me my space. She seemed to be going out of her way to do a good job helping other customers as well. She gets a star for going outside to read the specials board to a caller! I'm curious about their pasta dishes. A couple of people who came in got take out pasticcio so I think I should give that a shot next time I'm here. They have a full bar so maybe I should have done like the old ladies in the back and gotten tanked on Bloody Mary's before dinner! I'm pretty sure they'd give this place a 4+ review. read more

First Impressions: Its really clean. The place is spacious, well lit and welcoming. Usual platter: The gyro. The gyro platter is just the way I like it; LARGE. The platter is very well prepared and very tasty. It includes multiple pieces of gyro meet, a large cucumber and green pepper salad with Feta cheese along with a big portion of french fries and sauce. Its consistently good. Breakfast: Its good; standard. Burgers: Big and juicy. Wraps: On the smaller side. Overall review: Atmosphere: Comfortable and friendly. Food: Consistently good. Service: The servers really seem to care about keeping the customers happy. I have come in late at night and they are still friendly. Thumbs down: The rice is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thumbs up: The food is consistently good. The portions are big! The prices are decent. There is almost always seating available. Its 24 hours. They deliver. Every time I come here the children are smiling; so kid love it. They don't complain about giving you extra of something and often don't charge for it. The Diner has a diverse group of regulars (not just trendy youngsters). They have booths! :) I really like going there. Its a very put together Diner. read more

Standard diner: large portions, fair prices, a place for comfort food. Not a bad place to come for pancakes, eggs, bacon, and whatever else you are craving. Service here was friendly and attentive, and it was easy to get a table here on Sunday morning. I came here again a second time for dinner. I ordered the side of vegetables and chicken soup. I asked if the green beans were fresh and the server said everything here is fresh. When the beans came out, they were clearly straight from the can, just like my cafeteria days in elementary school. I guess this is what you'd expect at a diner? Don't try to go for healthy here. Just stick with breakfast foods and/or other greasy foods. read more

Fifth Avenue Restaurant & Diner - A tuna melt with American cheese, garnished with strawberry tops and pickles. - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I come here a lot to do homework since it has a chill staff and clientele (mostly elderly people), but I gotta say the food is pretty bad and overpriced for the quality. The pasta bolognese ($20) is very soggy and bland with a cheap side salad. Omelets are ok, but the grits that come with them taste as if they came out of a box. Bottom line: I wouldn't come here just for food they serve, but I respect and admire the space. read more

I have been to many diners in Brooklyn. I will say you will never be upset with the food.

Diners generally have a bad rep but this was quiet different. Came here with a couple friends for early breakfast and genuinely left happy. The staff was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. The food was fresh - probably because it was really early - and everything went better than planned. I had the scrambled eggs with spinach and it was decent. read more

As someone new to living in Brooklyn, I write this will full awareness of with any "new neighborhood bias" I might have, but out of all the diners in Park Slope which I've tried, the one which keeps bringing me back in the Fifth Avenue Diner. Whether it's my parents in town to visit or a mate from London dropping in to see the States for the first time, this is my go-to for a breakfast/brunch of pure, glorious, excessive Americana. From the second I walk in, the waitresses have a hint of that wonderful standoffishness that only abates when one comes in a few times and takes time to banter with them. The portions are huge, the coffee keeps coming, the prices are decent, the grits are the best in the area, and there's a bar which opens at 10:00 am next door if I want to transition into a full day of indulgence. The He-Man and LumberJack cover all of your bases for a proper breakfast, but I gravitate towards the omelettes. Adding bacon or sausage onto something won't kill your wallet. I also heard, from a woman raving next to me on a particularly cold day, that the soup is a life-saver. Take my bias with a grain of salt, but try this diner if you're looking for a brunch with your cronies or if you're looking to sit solo at the counter and act like a crusty local, scowling over your daily paper and coffee. read more

I wish that I could give my experience 0 stars but I'll settle for 1. I ordered the New England clam chowder and Spinach pie,and boy, I was beyond disappointed!! I kinda want my money back. Spinach pie was salty even the flakes were dry. The soup was tasteless (the crackers had more flavor)with no clam but a bunch of potatoes, Green peppers and big ass chunks of celery and no type of flavor. I'm so pissed because I'm at work starving and I just wasted my money on this, smh. I wish diners would stop putting up selections of foods that they can't make. read more

Had breakfast for dinner. Good food, clean, fast service. Nothing outstanding but everything good.

Ah I remember eating this for breakfast lunch an dinner as a kid, my grandmother would order everyday like we lived off this diner. We where up on 8st an the park an yes they absolutely deliver. I would order the gyros the cheeseburgers there eggs with home frys an bacon. Sandwiches I mean everything is all very good. It's even better when your out late starving an all done partying an a bit drunk an you stop in on an odd hour of the night with a crew of friends an just absolutely PIG OUT which I've done plenty of times since there open 24 hours. I haven't been in a while to have a sit down lunch but I do every so often pop in for coffee an a corn muffin Togo an keep it moving since I moved to Staten Island an I'm not working up on 7th Ave anymore to order delivery. Definitely an affordable restaurant An great friendly owners. ") read more

If you're content with totally blah food and indifferent, uncharming service, then this place rocks.
