While normally we have no issues at Rolando's, with the new owners, it is not what it used to be. The staff was very rude and the cooks were unsanitary. One cook brought my girlfriends steak out from the back with his bare hands (no gloves), threw it on the stove, proceeded to touch someone's cooked french toast, put it on a plate, wiped his hands on his dirty apron and then touched my girlfriend's steak again. When asked to have the food remade with gloves, the waitress then got very upset and started cursing and telling both the cook and other staff members, "I dont give a fuck how long they have to wait". When we heard this, we left because it was unprofessional, especially in front of my 8 year old son. Even after being treated like this, we still paid for my son's meal and was proceeded to "get the fuck out and not come back" and was told to "call the president" about the the cook not wearing gloves and her attitude. They also do not wipe down tables. After a customer leaves, they pick up the dishes then sit new people down. With COVID, this is VERY concerning. We ended up wiping our own table down. With the new owners, it is very disappointing and upsetting how bad this Diner and it's staff have become. Will definitely NOT recommend for anyone to ever go here again! read more

This place is my favorite place in Binghamton to get breakfast. Great food for a cheap price!

This place is definitely a great place to calm your appetite in downtown Binghamton if you have a tiny wallet (or a lengthy hangover). But be warned - they do close rather early on the weekend. I came in on a Sunday around 1:40; close to closing time. I decided to order the eggs with sausage and toast with a cup of orange juice; the bill came out to around ten dollars if I remember correctly. The place wasn't too packed; the food took a bit of time coming out but I was with a party of six. If you are looking for beautiful decor and a soothing ambience, this isn't the place for you. This place is usually good for a quick breakfast meal and on your way in no time. I had to subtract two stars however; a few of the staff were rude to us as we walked in because we came in twenty minutes before closing time (2PM on Sundays). This is a bit understandable; I've worked in customer service before and despise those who come in five minutes before closing. However it's still your job to serve all equally and with respect. Another star because of the big flies and a bee buzzing around our table constantly while we were eating. Gross. I see myself coming back occassionally if I am in a hurry. read more

Love Rolando's Diner!!! Love the faact that the cooks can do there orders without the guestchecks!!! That is an art into itself!!! read more

Awesome diner. Nice relaxed atmosphere and you won't find a place that'd cheaper. Is cash only. Never have spent over 5 bucks there and gotten a great breakfast read more

I have been a fairly regular customer at Rolando's since 2002. I enjoy eating breakfast (and the occasional lunch) there. he food is consistently good diner food, and service is quick and usually friendly. Unfortunately, most of my favorite waitresses have moved to different restaurants, though there is still one there I've known for several years. The breakfast is very reasonable, and with the lunch specials (notably the chicken & rice special), you get a lot of bang for the buck. The venue is centrally located, which is one reason why it has been in business for four dozen years. However, the low prices and consistently good food are the main reasons. The clientele is mixed, tending toward working-class. No one has ever given me a hard time there, despite my many visits there. read more

3.6 stars why because it is a run of the meal diner. In comparison to village diner it has a better omelette, and French toast other than that it is nothing special. It's not super cheap and is normal cost for a diner. read more

We needed something good, quick, and cheap on our way home. What a find! We will make this a regular stopping point!

This diner has a very classic feel to it, with decent prices and a lot of food. The food itself tastes pretty good, although some things are better than others. The coffee is weak, and they only accept cash. However, this place had me coming out satisfied, so it gets four stars from me, a surprise considering the area. read more

Only been here once, but the food was delicious and the price was cheap. I'll definitely go back. Cash only. Try the kielbasa omelette, it's great. read more

Best diner to go to especially for breakfast. Won't hurt your pockets and great staff. I always enjoy breakfast here.

Just ate at Rolandos! Best meal we had on our short vacation. Unbelievable potatoes and biscuit and gravy. Would DEFINITELY go back!

I've been coming here for about 11 years with my grandpa every weekend they have very good service the food is amazing they actually cater to your every need and that's what makes this cute little restaurant one of the best in Binghamton read more

Beat breakfast in the area for sure. Been coming here since 2005. I've definitely driven 3 hours from NYC for their simple breakfast. read more

Rolando's Diner - Best breakfast in the Southern Tier - Diners Near Me - Binghamton, New York

Affordable, good diner food. Staff is friendly and attentive. Orders completed quickly. Recommended.

Small town diner with lots of locals. Had the pancakes and eggs. Wife had the scrambled eggs with toast and hash browns. Coffee and tea. Couldn't believe my eyes when the bill came. $9.10. Insanely cheap. read more

Dirt cheap, fast service and great food. This is my favorite diner in Binghamton by far and is a weird mix of locals and students.

Food is great. Prices are very low. But the staff is rude including ownership. Also have been "accidentally" overcharged on multiple occasions. read more

Rolando's is a good choice for a quick, easy bite to eat. It's not perfect, but you're getting decent food for a decent price. Just know ahead of time that it's basically always busy and packed inside, and it's kind of small, so you're not really getting a classic diner experience. But for the price, you could definitely do a lot worse. read more

FANTASTIC DINER!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Not only did I have an amazing and tasty breakfast, but I was greeted and sat by a hardworking busboy. The fun continued when my waitress came to get my order. She was not only friendly and charming , but also quite cute!!! Overall amazing experience. The family and I will definitely return. read more

Cute waitress with the red hair and very efficient bus boy. Get the egg sandwich you won't regret it!!!!!!!!

Basic but excellent diner food. Even the coffee is great, not the weak stuff you usually find at diners. French toast may be the best in Binghamton. I've lived in this area for all my life... Can't believe it took me this long to discover Rolando's! read more

Eggplant gyro is all you need to know about this place. This is not a fancy place by any measure. Service is fast and food is good diner-style grub. read more

Don't let the outside appearance fool you. It doesn't look like much but the food inside rocks! We had biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were homemade. The sausage gravy was just right, and tasty with nice sage flavor. Home fries are homemade as well, not out of a food service freezer bag. Try the Gyro Omelet. Really yummy and unique! Would totally come back! read more

this is by far one of a kind in IT'S TIME!! huge awesome breakfasts for way too little money. great lunch and dinner specials. the deserts are simple but fantastic!! the service is fast and friendly. the owners are so warm they talk with all the patrons so it feels like family. check it out!!! read more
