After driving pass this place for years, finally got a chance to dine here for lunch. They have a huge parking lot and the beautiful building sits right in the middle. The inside of the restaurant also pretty, all seemed so new, must have been renovated recently. Their menu was huge, had so many different types of breakfast, lunch and regular entree dishes. I ordered the Ruben with pastrami. It came with salad (replacing fries for extra charge) and coleslaw. I liked the sandwich, pastrami was good. But the coleslaw was awful, I could just taste the cabbage. I got to try salmon as well. It was a much better dish. Very nicely grilled and had excellent flavor as well. The fresh squeezed orange juice was good too. The staff were friendly. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, it took them about 20 minutes to serve our meals. Wasn't sure it took that long because of the salmon. But overall was a good calm place for lunch. read more

This is a very quirky diner. The decor is a bit off, the patrons look like long time supporters. The staff is very nice and attentive. The menu is overflowing with options. I had a tuna melt, it was really good. The waffles fries are also really good. You can also order cappuccinos here which is different for a diner. Usually you can only order regular coffee. If I'm in the area, I'd come back. I think it's worth a visit. read more

I have eaten here three times and the quality of food and service is consistent. The coffee gets refilled regularly, and everything from Breakfast through dessert is very nicely prepared and served. This is exactly what it holds itself out to be, a humble family restaurant, a diner. No pretentiousness here. Good food, reasonable prices, and excellent service. read more

The food is way to expensive for what you get and the quality is not good it's a. Cash grab place

The food, service and the excellent staff that works there makes for a wonderful dining experience!

Renovation came out great. Nice fabric on the booths and chairs. Clean and pleasant environment. I like the Cuban Panini that comes with tostones. The Tres Leche cake was yum. Pleasant staff. Thank You. read more

We got the sampler, a salad, steak. The servers were great! We sat outside since we had dogs and it was raining. But they never complained coming to serve us our food and menu. The manager even asked us a few times if we wanted to sit inside. But we didn't want to get fur inside. The sampler the calamari tasted old. But the rest on the plate was good. The steak was cooked well. The chicken wings were okay. Nothing special about here. But their service I would highly recommend! read more

Pretty solid diner food with a less dinery atmosphere and welcoming/friendly staff. We came here with a large party right before the diner closed and they did not turn us away. We put our orders in and to my surprise everything came out super quick! I Got an avocado chicken wrap with French fries when I was here and absolutely loved the fries, they were crispy, crunchy and just perfect! The wrap was standard fair but big in size. My husband got the Cuban panini which came with a side of tostanos (smashed and fired plantains). By far this was the biggest and welcome shocker for a diner and I kept saying bravo to state line for thinking of doing that as a fry for a side with that panini. Would definitely come again. read more

Friendly, mom and pop ambience. Very clean facility. Very friendly and efficient service. Well prepared food. Menu with a many selections.

A diner. Not a diner. More. Quality food, enjoyable waitstaff. Family oriented of course. Looks like a chalet. Some places serve way too much food. This place has just the right amount. Never leave hungry or stuffed. Been here several times and never left disappointed. BTW they have the perfect milkshakes without a bedazzled glass or a piece of cake as garnish. read more

When I am running through here for business, this is our lunch stop. HUGE menu - breakfast, deli sandwiches, serious entrees, and some amazing looking desserts in a case by the door. Wish I was here in the evening to try more things, but soups and sandwiches have always hit the spot. Fast and efficient service makes it a great option on the go. read more

Ate here for the first time. Had a fried egg sandwich on a Kaiser roll with cheese and a coffee. Wife had waffles with fruit and real maple syrup and an herbal tea. Everything was good. Prices were fair. Waiter was quite good. The place is clean and attractive. The menu is a typical large diner menu. All in all a great place. I will definitely add it to our list of go-to restaurants. read more

Excellent place, been going here for years. The turkey club sandwich's. The breakfasts, the soups are always on point. Very nice manager, and always a friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend.. read more

State Line Family Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Tappan, New York

This is a "diner" pure and simple and a very good one at that. First of all, I love the fact that these overly embellished times they still bill themselves as a "family restaurant" and not some hideous "gastropub" or some unctuous "farm to table" abomination that makes proximity to the Nyack food corridor a disposable trend graveyard. By contrast, State Line will never ask what form of "protein" you prefer when chicken or turkey will suffice. Breakfast fare here is uniformly excellent punctuated by tasty sandwiches and burgers for those who don't crave an omelette 24/7. The service is exemplary and the pricing is fair... what more do you need for five stars. Perfect. read more

Can't believe I've never reviewed State Line Family Restaurant. My family and I have been eating here for decades. The food is always great. the service is always great. When I walk in, the greet me warmly and know what I want to drink before I say it. Sometimes the long time waiters sit down if I'm by myself to catch up on our families. If i could give it 10 stars i would. read more

I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning with a group of 4 people. We sat outside. We ordered the Belgian waffle, the French toast, the pancakes, and the California omelette. We also all got coffee. The waffle was okay, not very memorable. The French toast was a bit soggy. The pancakes were okay, not very fluffy though. The California omelette was very mushy. The accompanying hash browns were also mushy and not crispy at all. The portions were large and reasonably priced. Service was fast and friendly. The food was mediocre so I doubt I would go out of my way to come here. read more

State Line Family Restaurant - California Omelette - Diners Near Me - Tappan, New York

I've been to this restaurant twice now and I'm afraid I feel like I need to warn people. I started my visit last night by asking that my sticky table be cleaned (they seem to have a reputation for excellent pancakes, so that would explain it) but even after asking to have it wiped down it was still sticky! Anyway, I ordered a chicken sorrentino dinner and a chicken francaise dinner to go. The sorrentino was awful. The cheese on top was two slices of I don't know what, but they were thick and only partially melted. The prosciutto was just not good, probably cheap and in the frig a long time. The linguini was OK, but the red sauce was straight out of a can and alo obviously cheap. Now cheap is OK if you know you're getting cheap and it's cheap, but this dinner was $28. For the record, my wife's francaise was hit quite as bad, but not good enough to finish. I'll never go back. read more

I found them a little high priced. We ordered a porterhouse steak. It wasn't served properly, and the service was terrible. We were table of six, and we were alone in the room the whole time I had to get up and get a napkin. read more

Great diner. Food was awesome. Atmosphere is pretty cool as well. Big menu selection, bunch of options we saw on the menu that we'd like to try next visit Service was great as well. read more

The service was impeccable. We arrived around 2 on a busy Sunday. There were 3 of us, 2 ordered the Bloody Mary. A very nice Presentation, but missing flavor. When we asked for a side of horse radish and added it to the drink it was 100% better. Two of us ordered the Eggs Benedict. Eggs were cooked perfectly, but the sauce was bland. It needed more Lemon. The gyro my friend had was ok. The meat on it was very over cooked. I also ordered a Bellini, which had no fresh peach, just peach schnapps. A little disappointed overall. read more

Aug 2023, came here for Breakfast which was ok. They are renovating the inside of the restaurant, and in my opinion it needs to be renovated. First of all most of the wooden tables have a permanent stickiness to them. When you tried to move the paper placemats they did not move. Honestly, it was too funny we were thinking if we sat at the table long enough we would stick to the table. The service was fine,and food came out quickly. I wanted to order one Pouched Egg and I was told I couldn't order one Egg, I had to order Two Eggs. I thought that was strange, I never heard that I couldn't order one Egg. The Pouch Eggs were ok, and came with Home Fries and an English Muffin. Plus the service was fast. Honestly, i am not sure if I would go back for Breakfast especially since I could not order just one egg. read more

Great diner. Brick interior with low walls and beams. Fun atmosphere that seems like the atmosphere of an English inn. They serve mostly breakfast; but also great mixed drinks, burgers, quesadillas, pizzettes, salads and soups. Plenty of parking. Rebel review: 4 read more

My grandma and I love to come to state line for our breakfasts together! We generally stick to our usual orders wherever we go; eggs over medium, pancakes & extra crispy bacon for her, and an omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, & cheese for me. The bacon is always extra crispy for my grandma, and they even crisp up the home fries for me the staff is friendly, with wonderful service. Truly a great staple diner in the area! read more

I've been coming here since it first opened and it's great to see so many of the same faces. The food and service are tremendous. They also have a sister restaurant, City Line, in New City. Also wonderful! read more

Hi I think this is a vary good place the food is Exceptionally good. Coffee is plentiful.I think the the service is really good

This place has been a staple in the area for years and years and has always been able to maintain terrific service and food all hours of the day and night. I spent many a breakfasts here and post nights out after cutting a rug. Whether it's breakfast, a hearty entree, or a delicious burger, it's always on point. The desserts are always fresh and can successful tempt the most devoted of dieters, so beware. If you're on 17N and you're looking for a really good restaurant, don't pass this place up. read more

Updating my previous review from 2021. I order take out from this restaurant often and unfortunately while the food is good, they just can't seem to get my orders right. I've had several orders where items I paid for are missing. I believe this is due to the fact that it is so damn noisy in the background when you call that the person taking your order is constantly asking you to repeat what you said. I recently ordered 3 sandwiches and a desert for me and some coworkers. It was over $50, they forgot my desert and things that the restaurant used to include like napkins, plastic utensils or even ketchup for my french fries were not included with my order. And again it's not the first time this happened. I think it's time to try someplace else. read more

State Line Family Restaurant is always a go to when you're not sure what you want but know there's a place where the quality of the food is always consistent with whatever you order. You'll find it here! People may say it's a diner but it's a step above that. Staff is friendly, food is cooked the way you like it and service is efficient. As soon as you step in, it has a comfy and warm atmosphere. I believe it's family owned. It has a full service bar, and the menu has Latin dishes as well as other choices similar to a diner. It's like when you find a great diner, it's where you become a return customer. This is one of these places. I was craving a burger and fries when I was here last. Yummy...The burger was cooked just the way I like it and the fries were crispy. I tend to like crispy fries, the ones that are slightly well done. It was so good, I returned the following day and had it again! Yup, just as good. Again,the consistent food quality. And the price is right. read more

Sunday breakfast choice was Challah bread French toast and was so delicious. Coffee was above average. Great service.

Decent menu. Reasonably clean. Attentive, polite staff. Prices are comparatively high.

Good breakfast food and great service! We came here on Mother's Day Sunday and enjoyed a casual and relaxing breakfast. The restaurant is tidy, spacious, and has ample parking outside. I ordered a yummy and well-portioned ~$10 California Omelette, which consisted of sauteed mushrooms, avocado, scallions, tomatoes, a touch of garlic, melted jack and cheddar cheese. The omelette came with hashbrowns and toast on the side, and I also tried their fresh-squeezed orange juice (really good!). Service was friendly and competent, and there were no complaints about the overall meal! read more

It's diner-fare food but great and friendly service. Baked clams were a bit on the bland side, porterhouse was requested to be medium but was medium rare, chili had hint of choco but lacked flavor, shrimp gumbo was more like a chowder but yum and the linguine Vongole was tasty but clams were a bit on the salty side. Service was fast even though it was a busy Saturday night at 7. read more

Took my best friend to dinner there last night. We arrived at 8pm. We were seated in a booth and some menus were placed on the table. Disturbingly, picking up each menu was nauseating, because they were stuck to the table top. The waiter was quick to take our order, and offered fresh bread and butter. We agreed, but he never delivered the bread. A second waiter offered us garlic bread, and we accepted and it was okay, nothing to write home about. We chose salads instead of soup, but after three gnats/fruit flies hopping on the plates, it became more nauseating. We ordered the chicken francaise and the chicken cordon bleu. The Francaise portion was small, but the sauce was good. The cordon bleu was dry and served over undressed linguine. I'm glad I brought some paper towels, and I used them to cover the table top, because even my cell phone got stuck to the table. The waiters were not attentive, and considering it was a Friday night, we hoped for better. We didn't finish our entrees, and we were given boxes to pack up and take home. Unfortunately, even though we ate less than half of the food, we both felt sick to our stomachs afterwards. However, in the past, I have ordered delivery from this restaurant, and the food that was delivered was very good. If you are interested in dining out, I cannot recommend this establishment because it is unsanitary and the wait staff obviously are not happy with their jobs. I can only recommend ordering takeaway; do not waste your time eating in this establishment. It's gross and diners are ignored and condescended by the staff. read more

We happened to be in the area on Father's Day and decided to try State Line based on the positive reviews. When we walked in, I asked the host if he recommended anything. Did they have a specialty that they are particularly proud of? I was shocked when he said Paella. I was feeling adventurous and decided to go with the Paella. Not only was it fresh and delicious, the staff was also wonderful! Nancy was our waitress and she was helpful with making menu selections and extremely personable and friendly. We are now huge fans of State Line! We will be back very soon! read more
