Apple Crumb Pancakes
Alex M.

After watching my alma mater, Norfolk State University, take a tough loss to Wagner College in football, I was in need of a pick-me-up. I decided to stop at Staten Island Diner and ordered the Apple Crumb Pancakes. The pancakes were solid, fluffy, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and definitely hit the spot. While I can't say I completely fell in love with them, I still enjoyed the meal and would recommend this diner to anyone in Staten Island looking for some good pancakes.

Sloppy Breakfast The Uncle Rob

Stopped here for quick breakfast. This one will be short, nothing really wowed me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was ok, place is fairly small, food was just ok[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Expensive for my liking, two meals, a coffee and oj was over $50. I might stop by again in the future but only if in need of a quick bite.

Carrot cake pancakes

Hands down THEEEE BEST diner on this side of town! I have been here a few times at different times of the day on different days of the week and can say the food is always consistent! Very clean very fast very good service. On today's visit I ordered the ultimate warrior it's 3 scrambled eggs with cheese and a sausage patty in between two waffles. So good the waffle "bun" was so soft and just the right amount of sweet you could put syrup on top or ketchup inside or both either way it's good and it's going to hit everytime . My husband ordered Philly cheesesteak omelette with home fries comes with your choice of toast . It's pretty much a Philly cheesesteak with eggs if you like peppers and onions it's good ! The home fries was seasoned very well BUT a little on the cold side. We also shared carrot cake pancakes. It sounds CRAZY but they were good . They have a crazy selection of pancakes try them all they are very good. ! I also had a Greek frap it's like an iced coffee but not . Overall this a great spot to come for breakfast brunch or lunch.

This place is a go to staple in the north shore. The service is quick and they have a great selection of breakfast you can enjoy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a humble place diner style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Usually the food is consistent but this time I came they were a bit off forgot something in my order hashbrowns over cooked. However they are usually super on point. I'll see you there oh and get the mimosa king size.

Quesadilla Burger

One of the smaller diners I've been but there is the feeling of actually eating at someone's house. The food here is on point. The portion sizes are large and the price is similar to other diners. Service is attentive and quick. The only downside is no parking lot. But there is street parking.

Sloppy breakfast
Jeff C.

I liked it. A good breakfast spot with some updated takes on diner food. Inside is simple. Narrow interior so it's best for small groups. I got the sloppy breakfast. Real good. Plenty of meat and cheese. Great for soaking up last night's bad decisions. My friends got the Belgian waffle and bacon, French toast, and breakfast burrito. They liked them. Good portions too. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.

Had to be in Staten Island last week for an appointment. We found this place nearby. Decided to give it a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little diner with very nice menus selection and very good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The omelettes and egg dishes were very good. Prices were reasonable. Only thing I was not too crazy about was the corn muffin. I felt like it was just very cakey but all in all cute place.

Enjoyed a great breakfast when visiting fam here in Staten Island! Will be back for breakfast in the future. [[HIGHLIGHT]]LARGE portion sizes, food got prepped quickly, clean, friendly staff and made the whole experience great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Chorizo Sausage

Food was not good today. Dont know what happened. Service was not great and mood/ambiance was off. Definitely disappointed. I always order Eggs LA LA they were terrible swimming in something that looked like Hollandaise Sauce . And my husband had hungry man bfast. Lol It had 2 eggs and 2 small pieces of bacon. Lol dude change the name!! No one came with water, and no one came to offer coffee refill. Definitely an off day.

Been coming here for years. The only decent diner on the island but May think twice about returning. Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Barriers between booths were dirty, as well as our table. Even one of our waters-we had to switch out. Not sure why it was so cloudy and dirt but you can see the difference between the two glasses pictured. Waiter was MIA. Had to ask other servers for napkins and silverware etc. Not sure if this was his first day on the job but these were customary requests. Also had to get up to pay the bill because once again-our server couldn't be found. There's a short Hispanic guy that's always around and eager to assist. Hes consistently amazing. This is a small place but i feel like the quality is lacking now. Food is average and the space is crowded. This isn't new but there really isn't a reason to return.

Hands down the best diner I have ever been to. Everything - service, ambience, the friendly waitstaff, the food, coffee, king sized mimosas, EVERYTHING was amazing. The portions are huge and filling, the ingredients fresh and prepared well. The coffee is hot and exactly what you want from a diner. If I had to criticize anything, it would be the parking situation (there's 3 spots out front - that's it). Just be prepared for that, but otherwise this spot is it. Will be back every time I'm in town.

Corned Beef, Pastrami and Swiss with Lettuce and Tomato
David R.

Service was incredible, thanks to David. For food I got strawberry milkshake which looked very pretty, 4/5 a little too sweet. Pastrami sandwich is incredible and the curly fries with chipotle sauce. Very comfy spot with music and good food, definitely recommend it

Mike's Unicorn Diner on Victory Blvd, Staten Island, is a well appointed 24 hour Greek kitchen with…read moreextensive menu and large plate portions. Prices are actually reasonable given the quantities provided which are at least enough for a second take home meal. My Eggplant Parm Wrap with Fries (Cole Slaw and pickles for the table) was stuffed with fresh nightshade, semi-spicy red gravy and melted mozzarella. A pile of crisp fries filled the remainder of the platter. I also grabbed a few sweet potato fries from my dining companion and they were actually better than my standards. The other half of my lunch is now sitting in the fridge awaiting consumption this evening. 90 seconds in the microwave should bring it nicely back to life. Service was prompt and friendly in this traditional food wagon. Four Herculean Stars for this Unicorn.

I've been coming here for some time, and my 10-year-old absolutely loves it. One of the main…read morereasons we keep coming back is because of the incredible service from Juan -- he's always smiling, helpful, and often steps in to assist tables that aren't even his. He's a true gem. Unfortunately, today's experience left a bad taste. I came in for breakfast with my daughter, and the woman who served us was incredibly rude from the start. She barely acknowledged us, didn't engage at all, and was so unpleasant that even my 10-year-old said, "Mom, she's not nice." She dropped our food on the table without a word and walked away. When I asked for butter, she looked annoyed. I later asked for the check and a to-go carton, and she rolled her eyes. That was it for me. I let the hostess know on our way out, and she simply said the server was overwhelmed. I told her Juan is busy too -- and yet he still found time to stop by, smile, and even refill my drink, which our own server never once offered to do. I'm giving this visit a 1 star because of how unwelcome we were made to feel, but I want to be clear: Juan deserves a 10. He's a perfect example of what great service should look like. The other staff could definitely learn a thing or two from him.

We did a walk up on a Friday morning and got there around 10:30, which gave us a 90 min wait. We…read morewere fine to wait, and walked around china town to kill time. You will get a text when the table is ready with 10 min to get there. It is a very small diner, with a cool vibe. You're there for the food, nothing fancy. The staff were very kind, and quick with our requests. We came for the pancakes, and they were absolutely worth the hype. Hands down the BEST pancakes we've ever had in life. 1 plate comes with 2 pancakes and are enough to share. But not too much if you're only getting pancakes for a solo serving, you'll be able to finish. We shared the pancakes and also got a breakfast sandwich.

I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

Well, WAS is the key word. My husband gave it 3 star because of the mission of the Cafe, but the food he would give a 2. We ordered the cheese grits bowl for pickup. We got a container of cheese grits- okay but they needed salt and more cheese. A container of scrambled eggs cooked soft like we asked but they also needed salt, and a container with 2 sausage patties (which were flavorless). We also got a side of biscuits. Dry, seemed like the kind in a can- with no butter or honey, just a bunch of ketchup! My husband saw the banana pudding in the mason jar- so he added that to our order. $8. He went back in because he didn't see it. They said it was in a container. He returned and it was in there- in a very tiny container barely filled halfway- looking nothing like the one in the restaurant, and it wasn't that good, the bananas weren't ripe, and still hard. I'm thankful for the mission, so we may give it another try but maybe eating in is the way to go- we won't do takeout again!
