Great food and ambience. It get's busy for a reason. It's not the lowest priced place in this neighborhood but don't let that scare you away, the quality of food and service is absolutely worth it. While it's not an old school diner type of setting and menu it's a great spot, don't sleep on this gem. read more

I finally made it to Good Old Days Diner, and I'm so glad I did. Supporting Black-owned restaurants is always a plus, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. This was my first time visiting, so I asked my server a few questions about the menu, hoping for a recommendation or a little guidance. Unfortunately, the service felt pretty flat. She wasn't rude, but the experience lacked warmth and enthusiasm. As a first-time guest, I was looking for a bit more engagement and hospitality. Now, let's talk about the food because that's where this place shines. Every bite was well seasoned without being overpowering, and the portions were generous. Everything on the plate felt balanced and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with home fries, and the runny egg, crispy potatoes, and fresh toppings came together perfectly. It was comforting, flavorful, and exactly the kind of meal that keeps you coming back. Overall, I would absolutely return for the food. I just hope the service becomes as memorable as the kitchen because this restaurant has all the ingredients to create an exceptional dining experience. read more

The wait is definitely worth it for this spot. Both times I've come, there has been one but they will text you once you're ready. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor seating has fans and shade. I actually prefer the outdoor seating as I feel there's more room to move around in. The aesthetic of this place is super duper fun to gaze upon. We got the BestSandwichYou'llEverHaveinYourLife (that's if I got that name right), which was in fact quite delectable. It was spiced well, and appears the be the equivalent of a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The Shroom Chips were tasty- they also came with great spice and are paired well with an optional spritz of lemon and their chipotle aioli. The fries are also seasoned well and are tasty. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Brooklyn for brunch. I do love that they have vegan options- adding vegan bacon to the sandwiches is fun as a person who doesn't eat pork products. read more

Great lunch/brunch spot with nice service and home-y feel. Small dining space so it fills up, but worth waiting for a table if you come in at peak dining hours. I came during my lunch break recently on a weekday with friends and got seated right away. Their house roast coffee was really yummy, kind of cinnamon-y. Portions are generous! The Patchen Patty Melt was so, so good, cheesy, spicy, filling. Fries were nicely seasoned and peppery. Great local restaurant. read more

This place is really cute . I loved the decor and the service we got here . My issue was the food . So o got the vegan chopped cheese . I thought that maybe the peppers would be cut and the cheese melted into the meat . It wasn't like that . The bread wasn't toasted . I feel if the bread was toasted and the chop cheese was cooked and peppers and onions and cheese into it it would be delicious . The sauce was really nice . And I really loved the fries. The hot cocoa is so good and it's vegan . That's my only qualm . I'm going to come back and try something different and see . read more

Petite diner eater with a nostalgic charm. Breakfast, brunch, and lunch items with vegan options. Service is slow and sometimes kitchen expo sends newer guest orders before current. The food is decent, I'll have to try another own because my vegan pancakes were too thick, I prefer thin crispy or flaky cakes. Decent fire local Brooklyn eats on a weekend. Water closet located in rear of kitchen. read more

Tried takeout recently, it was delicious! The breakfast platter had the crispiest hash browns and it was nice to get it with mushrooms to complement the peppers in a veg meal. The pancake was so fluffy and not too sweet, it didn't need any syrup though in my opinion. Really generous portions too, I'd try dining in next time but the quality for takeout was great. read more

Went to this diner on a Sunday with a friend and had about a 30-minute wait. Thankfully, they have a setup with the coffee shop next door, so we didn't have to stand in the cold. The food was good overall, but I liked my friend's meal more than mine. She had a burger hash with pancakes, which was way more exciting than my basic burger and tater tots. The real star of the show was the milkshake. The peach cobbler milkshake was amazing, and they have some really creative options. I'd definitely recommend this diner. I just think I ordered the wrong thing. read more

Over the years I've lived in Bed-Stuy, this place has seen many changes. Some successes, some failures, but this past Tuesday, my curiosity got the better of me and I made the decision to stop in for breakfast. First of all, breakfast on weekdays needs more love. The experience feels more laid-back and intimate without the weekend brunch chaos. Good Ol Days Diner/Winfield's Diner is spacious and welcoming and has an abundance of natural light. The artwork is a hybrid of a modern Black history museum and a juke joint from the 1970s. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive and we were seated right away. The Bacon Bacon Egg and Cheese was so good. It included "smash browns," a clever combination of hash browns and tater tots that were just mashed enough to resemble a comforting pile of potatoes. I will most certainly return because it's in the neighborhood and the prices are reasonable. I hope this one endures because it has a lot of potential to become a mainstay. read more

I needed a spot to have a small celebration for a family members grad party for brunch, and all I knew was that this spot was local/Black owned, it had outdoor space, great service and good food! I hit up the owner and he made this a seamless experience for me. Super communicative, flexible and the prefix menu he developed was perfect! The price was fair and the day went off with out any issues. Shoutout to Jeff and staff at the Good ol' days diner. Go here!!! read more

I couldn't wait to go to GOD-Winfield's Diner, and I finally got the chance to go to celebrate a friend. There know that there is a wait, particularly on the weekends. Nevertheless, it's worth it. Even better, it's so close to home! My friend kept saying that the fact that the diner is so busy, the food has to be fresh. Not only was the food super fresh, everything was so well seasoned and DEEEEE-LICIOUS! Let me backtrack... The interior is really cute and sort of gives that country home vibe but there's so much to see on the walls. We chose to eat outside so we could talk, because the noise level was a little high inside. The backyard space was so chill and nice. We were able to hear one another, but also enjoy the music. They played a lot of 70s soul music, which was enjoyable for Sunday afternoon. The art installations on the outside walls were funky and creative. Now back to the food. I ordered a lemonade, mint drink that was really ref and tasteful and not over saturated with sweetness like most lemonades. My friend ordered onion rings and chicken fingers. The onion rings were huge, homemade crunchy deliciousness. Initially, my homegirl ordered the chipotle sauce for her onion rings, but found the spice to be too much for her, so she opted for tartar sauce. Spice doesn't affect me the way it affects a lot of people and I was fine with either. I ordered the bacon Chicken, ranch salad, because I'm trying to be more mindful lol. It was so so so so so good. The chicken had a little kick, and the decision to use baby spinach was perfect. The salad was somewhat delicate, but at the same time hearty. The only thing that will keep me from walking over to this diner weekly are my dietary goals. There are way too many menu items that I want to try, but I must pace myself. But all of you, eat your hearts out! read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast with my daughter. Very cool, good vibey place with great decor. The staff is very friendly. My daughter had the bacon bacon something egg sandwich with smash browns. I had a bite, it was very good. I had the griddle sandwich which I didn't like as much. Good flavor, but the pancake biscuits used as the bread are soft so it's hard to pick up and eat like a sandwich so I kinda had to mix it all in with my smash browns which are smashed tater tots. Disco bathroom was cool. read more

Winfields is what Bedstuy needed. Upon walking in you see amazing, meaningful artwork through and throughout. I was taken care of by two amazing servers and not to mention the chef came out to see if everything tasted good. Food was absolutely on point. Griddle stack has eggs, bacon, cheese between two fluffy griddle cakes served with syrup...chefs kiss. Also I was a fan of the hashbrowns which were perfectly seasoned and crispy.

A nice neighborhood spot! For the food, I had the patty melt, and while it was tasty, I wish it was a little fresher and had more flavor. However the service was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed without being overbearing. It really added to the overall warmth of the experience, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. The ambiance was exactly what you'd expect from a charming, no-frills neighborhood diner. It was cozy, inviting, and had that old-school Brooklyn charm that made it a nice spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a meal. read more

Came here with my daughter and friend and had horrible service. Chalked it up to a one off experience, then my mom had the exact same experience the following day.

Long wait times here on weekends - I guess that means plenty of time to write a Yelp review! The seating process is very confusing and it doesn't seem like the staff are very organized for the most part, although the service was very friendly overall. Don't come hungry on weekends, it took over 45 mins after ordering to actually get our food. Granted the staff warned us the kitchen was slow so I guess that one's on us. They also offered to comp us a muffin which was much appreciated. Fire alarm went off due to smoke from the kitchen which would've been an extremely annoying and headache inducing, but the staff took it with great humor and was quite apologetic. Onto the food itself - after almost an hour of waiting, we got chicken sandwiches, grits and eggs. The food was decent but not spectacular. Bit of a letdown after such a long wait, and the price is not cheap either ($15-20 per entree). read more

Firstly, got seated right away at 10am on a Sunday morning, and was greeted warmly by one of the young women behind the counter. THE COFFEE? Hot and delicious, with hints of cinnamon. 10/10. Ordered the "cake sized" pancake. Was worried it'd be too big, but alas it was perfectly sized, a little crispy on the edges (which i like) and moist inside. Side of sausage was cooked perfectly. Wonderful vibe, attentive service, and great food. Couldn't ask for more! My daughter just moved to Bed-Stuy and we will be back for lunch! read more

Walked in here to try breakfast on a leisure walk. Food: 3/5 I ordered the fried catfish and grits. The fried catfish was seasoned well, I'd would have liked the grits to be a bit more flavorful.. they were creamy but lacked butter but nonetheless decent. I was given some of their specialty lemonade I believe I forgot the name but it was BOMB! I'd like to go back and try something else to see how they whip it up. Ambiance: 5/5 I was welcomed by beautiful art work of icons & classics at that. I enjoyed the vibe inside as I'm sure you all will too. They do have outdoor seating for larger parties which is great for Sundays =family days or gatherings. Service: 3/5 Service was okay I would have like them to be more attentive. I only saw my waiter once after him bringing my food. I wasn't able to flag him down so I had to get up and get my own utensils and it wasnt crowded so yea. This place is very nice and has comfortable vibe which I love I hope they continue to improve and implement the tips to better their service. Do try if you're in the neighborhood if you enjoy good comfort food! read more

Took my order to go and was greeted very warmly by the staff. I Got the Bacon Bacon Egg and Cheese; it did not disappoint at all and came with "Smash Browns," a sort of tater tot/hash brown mix. As a potato lover and transplant of nearly a decade originally from the south, I've seen more skillet potatoes than hash browns when it comes to breakfast potatoes in this area, so the Smash Browns were v refreshing. Not to mention, the indoor dining area is very cozy and the place is Black-owned and operated. Having not looked at the menu prior, the only thing I was missing was a matcha or a fresh juice, but the staff was very humorous when I asked about the drink options making my experience an 11/10. read more

Randomly found this hidden gem & I seriously wanted to gatekeep. But they deserve their flowers fr!! I'm obsessed with their pancakes in the griddle stack combo!! And the smash browns???? CHEF'S KISS. I'm definitely going to start coming here more regularly. I love me a lil crispy crunchy moment and you get all of that and more with the smash browns. Cause they fry the smash browns with peppers. Then it's topped with tomatoes and green onions. Everything I've ever wanted in a bite! Seasonal depression? WHERE?

Forgot to take a picture cause I was hungry and the food was delicious. I bought the mushroom chips on the side. I did not want bacon and I didn't have an option to take that off. I'm also glad I bought the mushrooms on the side because I really enjoyed them and I didn't want a little bit to go with my platter I also wasn't sure if it was the same type of mushroom dish. I asked for steamed oat milk in my coffee. It didn't look like it was put in but the coffee tasted really good any way. The sweet potato option for breakfast was really good idea. I enjoyed that. read more
