Had the combo platter of fried goodness. Mostly grease flavored. Great it that's what you're looking for. Delicious milkshake. Decently priced. Prompt and courteous service. Good late night stop. read more

Everyone here is so friendly and caring. The service is always good and the prices are average diner fares. I love this place and come here all the time for a good breakfast or late night picking. The food here is delicious. I have to admit I usually come here for breakfast compared to dinner but always have good food. The service is quick and good. Like every other diner, some things are made better than others. I love the Raceway. read more

It's a diner......'nough said. I won't compare it to fancy restaurants, that wouldn't be fair. Service was fine, food was OK. In a nutshell, I've been to better diners. read more

I used to come to this place all the time until I realized it was racist today I walk in and I see year old woman who can't speak English and ask for a translator and the owner tells this woman that this is the English only diner and kicks her out very aggressively not giving her a chance to try and pick something out the woman was not disrespectful at all. Rather than try to assist her and find her translator he goes and tell her she's not welcome over here because she doesn't know English which is ridiculous last time I will ever come here again. read more

Lesson #1: The owner is always right. Now, I am not in the habit of writing bad reviews. Instead, I vote with my feet. However, this morning's extravaganza of poor judgement was worth noting. Yonkers has many great diners (Broadway, Mt. Olympus), all in the Classic Greek 'breakfast all day' style. Today, we thought we'd try the Raceway Diner having driven past the 'Voted Best ...' Sign many times. I ordered my usual test breakfast, eggs Benedict. My wife a spinach and feta omelet. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The food came hot and in a reasonable amount of time. It was pretty decent. Then the trouble started. Between my two poached eggs, there was only one yolk. Odd, but OK. My wife's food was hot and I was hungry, so we tucked in. The eggs were cooked correctly, the sauce was reasonable for a diner with at least some lemon. Texture was ok. Then I found a dark curly hair in my home fries. End of meal. The waitress came back and asked how everything was. I told her. She left for a long time and when she returned she said I should have sent the plate back. Since I had eaten most of the food, there was nothing she could do. One yolk, ok. Odd, but not worth waiting for a new plate while the rest got cold. A hair in my food discovered after eating a portion. Not ok. I went to pay the check and suggested to the cashier that this was not the right way to treat a first-time customer. The owner walked over and started to argue with me. He said it was not possible that I had been served two eggs and only one yolk. I told him I had no reason to say it if it was not true. He further refused to admit that there was hair in my home fries. He did not apologize or offer to correct the bill. He preferred to accuse me of lying in front of the rest of his customers. After a brief argument, he looked away in pain and said dismissively "take something off the bill". Still no apology. This time, I refused. The $10 was no longer the issue. I wanted to be shown a modicum of respect. Finally, and still without giving an inch, he put out his hand to shake as if this would make things better. It was patronizing and wildly unprofessional. Again, I refused and left. Not OK So, if you choose to patronize this iffy establishment, just know before hand, the owner is always right. read more

great food , great music , great mimosas and great service. really what more could you ask for. glad i ended up here and now down the street i was debating but something told me this place was it and it sure is. 10 stars 10/10 read more

I didn't find the food to be good at this diner. I ordered pancakes, eggs and sausages. The pancakes did not taste good, the sausages were undercooked. My husbands food was not good either. His home fries did not have any onions or peppers and his eggs were dry . This place use to serve good food. I will not go back to this diner. read more

I visited the Raceway Diner with a large party (11) for breakfast. The service was a little slow but once we did order the food came quick. It was not all brought at once, which was reasonable being that so many people were eating. We all had breakfast plates, eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles etc. They were all good. The price is right and the atmosphere is as good as it can get for a regular diner. read more

I got the best patty melt I ever had here! Yes! I did! My friends omelet was good too! Eat here!

Made an order for takeout..food was decent, waitress barely acknowledged us as we were sitting there, I ordered an ice coffee, light with milk and 1 sugar, easy right? I get ice coffee with sugar I can chew on during each sip..As we go to pay, the guy asks do we want to leave a tip? Who leave s a tip on a takeout order? It's an okay place, but I'd rather stick near by to the argonaut read more

great eats. I ordered blueberry pancakes, so good. next time I want to try the waffles

I used to enjoy breakfasts here. However, a recent visit spoiled it. A friend and I were visiting for breakfast. In the middle of the meal, something large from the ceiling fell on the table. It was a large piece of cardboard - recent water damage occurred and it was holding things up. I understand that things happen. However, I was completely surprised with the lack of a genuine apology. The manager came over and replaced the cardboard - while standing with his shoes on the seat. He said sorry. But no one volunteered to pick up the tab. Please be clear: I did not visit expecting a free meal. But I also didn't expect that ceiling debris would be falling onto my plate either. I left very disappointed. read more

I stopped into Raceway Diner the other day Have not been in there for awhile. The whole atmosphere has changed And not for the good. The staff is different. The place is dirty. The dessert display was so disgusting Not clean at all It use to be a pretty decent place But wow it is going down hill And fast!! Hire presentable people and clean the place How can the owners not see this??? read more

Omg what was right about this diner. After we received out food (which was mediocre at best) we witnessed our waitress blow and pick her nose and not wash her hands. Her name was Jackie. Was so disgusting. Will never return!!! read more

Nice diner with great customer service. The omelettes and hot chocolate are the best. Open 24/7, unlike most diners in Westchester.. would definitely recommend. read more

Raceway Diner - Diners Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Great Food , Burgers are Awesome , Nice Service

So just left this place. Have been a regular breakfast stop for me for years. Ordered chicken kabobs with rice, came out like a breast and parts were pink very undercooked. I told the waitress she says let me tell the manager, as she walks away tells the other waitress I complained and got stink eye. The manager comes over and starts cutting chicken up and putting it in my wife's face saying no looks good.i say no it's not its pink and he starts moving it on plate I loose it and say I'm not here for you to cut it up. He waits as im leaving says no I checked it was a vein I looked in kitchen. That's not customer service and he shrugs shoulders saying I took off bill. Know I never asked to take off bill I did get heated when he started cutting up in front of other customers. Never step inside that place again read more

My sister and I went for a quick bite, but didn't know it would turn into a profoundly delectable experience. It started with typical indecisiveness- neither of us could decide what to order. We both knew we wanted a sandwich of some sort- either a panini or a traditional American sandwich. Having to choose between the two started to become very difficult- because both of us wanted a panini, but also a traditional American sandwich. Then it dawned on us that we could order both (one each) and then split each order. So my sister ordered a chicken cutlet panini, and I ordered a BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich. The food came quick. Once it arrived- I gave her half of my BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich and she gave me half of her panini. We started with the BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich- delicious. Then we ate the panini- delicious also. Afterward we both felt so satisfied- because if we had only the BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich we wouldn't have been full enough, and if we had only the panini we would have been too full. Which is why it was so perfect to have half of the BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich, and half of the panini. On the side we received sweet potato fries- which tasted like the combination of french fries, and sweet potatoes. The ketchup was Heinz. It was in a squirt bottle, which I really appreciated because the glass bottles often give you issues. It still came out a little watery at first squirt, which is to be expected, but ended up working out well. All in all, great dining experience. read more

Decided to look for a diner where I could take my family for some Sunday breakfast. I happened to spot Raceway Diner on google. As soon as I came in I was welcomed as if I was a member of their family. My child was also greeted and treated like a princess. The service was amazing and the food was really good. The waiter was very respectful and delightful. Would definitely recommend my friends and family here. read more

Best diner in Yonkers. I'm here every Sunday for breakfast. Friendly service and great food.

I used to go into this diner , not any more. It has dropped their standards so much I can not even eat their food. I had breakfast and It was not edible. Do not go to the worst diner in Yonkers. read more

Went here for breakfast a few weeks back when visiting a friend. This Diner was right across from a casino(only slots) and a race track. Very classic trolley shaped look. They do their all their own baking which I admire and a large choice of breads and pastries. What I like best is the 4 page menu that had a wide range of home made meals, basic breakfast, grill specials, and sandwiches. Some of the tables had their own jukebox which gave the old school feel. Service was excellent, id have to say one of the best diners I've been to. read more

Went here for breakfast and wasn't impressed. Spanish omelet was just okay, pancakes mediocre, as well as ham and the coffee. And I wish I read Barbara's review before going there - a cockroach??? GROSS!!! thank my lucky stars that I didn't see anything & I didn't get sick! read more

This used to be one of my favorite diners. Not so much anymore. Haven't been here in a while & this last experience reminded me why that is. The food and service used to be WAY better. My boyfriend & I decided to stop in for a very late breakfast on a Friday morning around 11:30ish. The place was busy but not overflowing with customers by any means. I don't know if they've reduced staff or what but the experience just seemed a bit... off. We weren't greeted quickly upon entering. We had to stand there & wait until a random waitress decided to acknowledge & seat us. Then we had to wait a bit before she re-appeared to take our drink orders, one hot tea & one coffee. Those came out pretty quickly but no one bought us any waters. I finally saw a busboy in our section & I had to flag him down to ask for some waters. After our food orders were placed, it seemed to take some time for the food to arrive. Let me back up a sec to when we placed the orders. I almost felt a bit rushed or like the waitress really didn't give a shit. When my boyfriend ordered his poached eggs he had to ask her what comes with the order instead of her saying "it comes with home fries. Is that okay"? He wanted fries instead. We also wanted an extra side but she was so in a rush or maybe more so disinterested, that we almost forgot to order. I really didn't think much of this until I heard her taking an order from the table behind us that she asked them specifically what they wanted & also if that was "everything" before wrapping up the order. And then the same with a customer seated across the way from us. I just looked at my boyfriend shaking my head! Another odd thing I found is that they were doing some maintenance in our section so there were tables moved out & at one point I had to squeeze past a large ladder blocking the way (in order to get to the ladies room). I felt like the maintenance could've been done at some other less busy time. I'm pretty certain this place is open 24 hours. This was basically right near the lunchtime rush. Now about the ladies room... that could use some maintenance... Ladies room: There are 2 small stalls. If you are a plus-sized lady... good luck! The bathrooms need some cleaning! There are water marks(?) or some kinda drippy stains on the inside stall doors & elsewhere. I glanced down to the side in one stall & the heat vent (I think it was) had caked on dirt!! No joke! If there's caked on dirt like that in the bathroom, should customers be worried about what's going on in the kitchen? Just a thought... There's a long vanity with only one sink (NOT an auto on/off) & one of those old style hand blowers which takes a year & a day to dry your hands, if ever!! I wanted to mention this because even though I'm not a germaphobe, I prefer paper towels to turn off faucets & grab door handles when leaving public restrooms cause ya never know who's doing what or not before ya... The ladies room is in need of some updating to say the least... Small, crampy,& kinda dirty kinda makes one wonder... Well, at least the waitress got the order correct! I'll give her that. The food was ok. Nothing to write home about! Our "extra "was old fashioned french toast that neither of us could really eat because it tasted weird! Pretty disappointing. The whole experience seemed a bit weird! The atmosphere is not welcoming or friendly like it used to be years back. This place just seems off now. Another reviewer stated this: Service quite lackluster. Shleppy workers... That sums it up alright! I would probably dine here in the future due to convenience but unfortunately, that would be the only reason. Oh, and the bill was pretty high for mediocre food! My hope is that management reads the reviews & possibly makes some adjustments! I would be happy to update my review in the future. Until then... thumbs down Raceway :( read more

The best diner!!!! Staff is awesome. Food is great. Prices are great!!!!! Coming here is like coming to family. We have the dirty Argonaut closer. But Raceway is well worth the extra drive read more

The last time I ate there I had to call the health department because we ordered dinner, and they gave us greek bread in a basket, and when I broke open the greek bread there was a giant dead cockroach as big as a water-bug with giant antennas staring at me. I got so sick I went out side of the diner and vomited. The Westchester County health department fined them for having cockroaches and mouse droppings in the kitchen. I never stepped foot in that place again, and every-time I drive by there I get sick to my stomach. The place is disgusting. read more

I don't know if it's just the Raceway Diner or most of the local diners in my area but whenever I order a tuna sandwich it's loaded with 'fillers' and a minimal amount of tuna. I've experienced this at other local diners as well so It's possible that the tuna salad in not made in-house as opposed to getting it from a food distributor. The end result is a tasteless sandwich. read more

For 3 am service was super fast and they have the best disco fries!! I'm a disco fries fan and I'll overlook the old decor because these were awesome, cheesy, crispy and the gravy ON POINT! I'll report back when I come here at a normal hour lol :) read more

I wish I could give less then one star it was terrible over priced and looks like they dumped it with no care on my plate breakfast is not that hard to make egg where bad bacon was old pancakes where dry and cold I will not be going back to worst dinner in Yonkers. read more

The service was outstanding. Our waitress was super friendly and on top of things. I wish I could give this diner more than 3 stars. The truth of the matter is...my food was lousy. I ordered the open faced turkey sandwich and I could have made it at home for much better and cheaper. For the love of God, my gravy was YELLOW! Maybe I need to stick to breakfast instead. My food honestly tasted like prison food...not like I've been to prison food before, but being a military brat, I've had better galley food than the food at the Raceway. read more

Horrible service and the food was absolutely terrible, my brother in laws beer didn't come for like 30 min. I asked for the check 30min ago and they still didn't bring it. Never coming here again read more

I'd say this is one of my favorite diners. The service is great and the staff is very friendly.

Really good service! Casey was our waiter, and we were impressed that she was so nice despite her really late shift! Five stars for Casey!

Definately the place to go for a late night bite. The waitresses are always friendly and attentive. Everything ive eaten here has been marvelous i guess i must give credit to the chefs there. Place really gets packed late nights on the weekends. My favorite thing here is the greek soulvaki and their disco fries. read more

What happened to this place? I went here for an early morning breakfast and the food was just awful. I entered a virtually empty restaurant, and waited to be seated for about 3 minutes while waitresses and kitchen staff passed me by. Eventually the host emerged from the kitchen. I Ordered the Raceway Royal with Challah French toast. The French toasted tasted like they just dusted it with eggs. Bacon was so dry it was like beef jerky with a fishy undertone - like it was on its way out. And the sausages tasted soapy for some reason. I really should have sent everything back, but there were only 3 patrons in the place and I didn't want to cause a scene. The only good part was the waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

I have been coming to this diner for more than 20 years. It is a great place for a family meal or a quiet meal for two. They make the best onion rings I have ever eaten. The fries are good, too. Classic fries. Not that new nonsense. There is a parking lot and it is conveniently located across from the Yonkers Raceway at Empire City. The service is good, too. read more

The best diner in the area. Large portions and reasonably priced...just don't go when it's super busy because the food quality goes down.

So far I have been here twice since moving to Yonkers ...Never waited for my server ,twice both waitresses were friendly. Both times order ceasar salad with grilled chic ,brother ordered breakfast was very good. I don't have one complaint. read more

Nice old diner by the racetrack. Very easy to get to from 87/Central Ave. Had a very friendly waitress and a good breakfast. My pancakes were good, the eggs were perfect and the bacon was nice and crispy. The coffee was also very good and filled whenever it needed to be. All in all it's a good, efficient diner. read more

Your typical dinner fare. Food is decent. Place is clean which is very important to me. Staff is friendly. Location is good, right off 87. read more
