Typical diner. Very fast service. Good food. Pricing is good. your coffee cup will never be empty. plenty of seating. Plenty of parking. Got their no. 9 breakfast special - challah french toast with sausage. Comes with coffee or OJ. Sausages were large, juicy, and oily but oh so good. Definitely recommend. read more

One of the better diners in The Bronx, good food, coffee, and always good service. I know have had many meals in this diner. Never have they made me leave unhappy. I have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here, they are always on point. Their disco fries are my favorite. If I ever had to pick a diner again in the Bronx this one would definitely bevin my top five. F.Y.I my most favorite thing here is the service. They really are nice and pleasant people, and always make sure to give you the attention you need. read more

Husband and I got sick eating here today. Ordered breakfast which was quite good but both of us had stomach issues right after eating here. Not a good sign. Maybe cook should wash his hands more often? Servers too. Needless to say, we will not be eating here again. read more

Tibbett's is exactly what you want from a diner - friendly staff, quick service, classic standards for the menu, and cute diner-y décor. We've taken so many houseguests here and they all love it too! It's definitely a terrific neighborhood spot, and I love the fact that the waitresses there seem to know everybody who comes in and out. I'm sure I'll be back again and again - hope to see you there! :) read more

Awesome place to eat. Love this place. The staff is absolutely amazing and everyone is a regular Food is quick and their coffee is awesome. The only thing they don't have is space, it's a small diner! I wish it was bigger!!! read more

I moved to the Bronx this year, and found that this was the most consistently decent diner in the area. I went with my fiancee a few times a month, up until my last experience. I have a serious nut allergy. This is very common, and most places are very accommodating. I had always ordered breakfast foods until this particular day, when I decided to have the roast turkey. Roast turkey. When have you ever ordered roast turkey, and had nuts in it? Of course, I found out the hard way that this particular roast turkey did indeed have walnuts in some sort of stuffing found underneath. I ate a few bites, and immediately I knew I had eaten nuts, because I started to feel sick. I alerted my server, and simply asked for him to take back my turkey and remove it from my check. The server went to ask his manager for permission to do that. The manager was standing maybe 10 feet away from me, behind a partial dividing wall, and I could clearly see him whispering to my server, and shaking his head, occasionally glancing over at me. The server, of course, came back to me with his manager's "generous" offer of reducing the price of my meal to the price of a sandwich, since I had eaten some. Never mind the fact that I'm heading to the hospital upon leaving because they decided it would be a great idea to not inform their customers of NUTS in their TURKEY. I mean, it's not like I ordered pecan pie here. Anyway, I got the manager's attention myself, and asked him to come over to the table (since he is already watching this transaction like a hawk from 10 feet away, we may as well cut out the middle man). I explained the situation, and the fact that my throat was swelling more by the minute, and that ALL I WANTED was for him to remove that one item from my check. I didn't ask for a free meal; my fiancee had certainly enjoyed her whole meal, and I did have a bialy and some coffee, all of which I intended to pay for. The manager's response alone is the reason I will never go back to Tibbett Diner in my life: "Fine, you don't wanna pay, you piece of s***?? Then leave! Get out of my restaurant!" So, I did. Permanently. I could never support a business run by someone like that, regardless of how good the food is. Go somewhere else. Anywhere. read more

Very happy that this place is walking distance to my house!! I came here quiet on a stormy day and ordered breakfast. You can't go wrong with breakfast. Over easy, perfectly cooked. Home fries I asked for it well done and it was crunchy, and mashed inside, YUM! Bacon was a bit overcooked to my liking but still a hefty portion for a cheap price. Service was attentive and my coffee was constantly refilled. Will be back here again. read more

Ate there three times. Like a fool returned. Not again, ever. Found a table and sat, only to be told this was for a party of 4 and since it was only me, I would have to move! Did not observe a rush of people coming in at 11:00 AM! Had to ask and wait for coffee refill, plus the food was lack luster. Breakfast is simple enough to make, eggs, potatoes, meat , toast. Somehow the eggs were hard, not over easy, the food took a minute to be served also. Tiny place . Should be a gem, but was a disappointment. read more

Best...diner...ever! Nick and John do a spectacular job with this small place. You'd expect breakfast to be great. ..and it is...but it's also the best seafood restaurant in the Riverdale / Kingsbridge / Marble Hill area. Happy to say been going there since it opened in '93! read more

Working in the area and needing a place to grub down. I grabbed my trusty crackberry, opened my YELP app and searched "food." Tibbett Diner popped up. With so many positive reviews from users, I had to try it. The set up is very old fashioned. A nice retro looking diner along with retro looking customers (I was the youngest customer.) The diner seems to attract the "senior" kind, but who gives a....the food is slammin'! Its good, its cheap, its clean....everything you ask for in a diner. Nice job! read more

This is a great boxcar diner with great food and great staff. It's a bit out of the way but it's totally worth the trek (there's some free parking on the side). I guess if I had to recommend something for a first-timer it'd have to be the chicken pot pie. It's really tasty stuff. read more

The food was fantastic. Haven't had food this good from any diner in the south Florida area. The burgers and pancakes were delicious I would recommend them. The corned beef sandwiches are large. A meal in themselves. I took some of them back to FL with me as well as the wonderful apple turnovers. The wait staff was very good. The food came within a short wait time. Overall I was a very happy customer and look forward to coming back on my next trip to Kingsbridge. read more

Came to the bronx for a taxes and yelped a place to eat whole waiting... Found this little place... Its a gem... And just what a diner should be... Small cozy booths and counter tables... With great cooked food... The grilled chicken on Spanish was perfectly done with the tomatoes around the dish not in the dish... It looked really pretty that way... The home fries were also good and potato are almost to a mash with some crispy areas... Definitely a local great find...bathroom floor are a little greasy but so are all the great local places... I think.. read more

Short and sweet review! The best diner I've been in. Food is great service is exceptional and the fact that it's so close to my family's home couldn't be any better. I wish I could take this diner to Florida with me. read more

I went here after a morning run with my mom and got the usual. Silver dollar pancakes with two over medium eggs and turkey sausage. I have been going to other diners just to get a sense of other pancakes. None of these even are comparable to tibbett's diner. The pancakes are fluffier than a pillow and fresh off of the oven. I dream of them. The eggs somehow are fluffy as well and are cooked to your request. Turkey sausage, sounds nasty. Why would you get that when you can get real sausage? Maybe because you keep kosher. Well I get it because it is so much better than any breakfast meat. It's salty and juicy. Amazing! We have a fat Irish waitress every time that is so sweet. She gets us our earl grey tea to start our meal. The decor is like a classic diner and it makes me feel like I'm in the 60s. They have a wonderful garden outside of the restaurant that is really pretty. The prices are very fair as well. If there where a six star option, I will choose it for this diner. Bon appetite read more

Pancakes came quick and they were super super on the money !! I like that they offer the smuckers syrup because it made them a little sweeter. They were a good size and fresh. The host seated me quickly and my server was swift but polite = perfection !! read more

Went for lunch today with spouse. Had the baby back ribs and a turkey club. Both the turkey and the ribs were dry, so not very flavorful. The split pea soup was good, mashed potatoes okay, but the cauliflower tasted funny. The service was fine, but strangely when we asked them to wrap up the leftovers, they only gave us half the remaining ribs (of course didn't discover this until we got home). Portions are large and prices are reasonable. read more

Can't beat the price and quality - ask for Nick, he's awesome and will make you feel right at home.

I love this place, service is friendly and prices are right on. I hate diners - I stay away from them at all costs. That was until I found this place. To be fair I've only had breakfast and one cheese burger deluxe. Breakfast is always amazing, their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. My girlfriend loves the pancakes and recommends them. The burger I tried was good but I don't think I would order another --- in my mind this is a breakfast joint. I do wish they served better coffee and they offered things like REAL maple syrup and turkey bacon. But for the price and the quality, it really can't be beat. read more

Love this place. Old School Dinner, Coffee Shop. The food is the best, service too. I broke my leg just before Thanksgiving and yesterday my partner stopped in to pick me up a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I will never cook Thanksgiving again, it was that good. The best! Happy Holidays!!!! read more

Gets the job done. I love the challah French toast. Great juices for breakfast, nice hot coffee. Very polite and experienced staff who care about the customers. read more

Overrated..... I have come here on a Sunday, more than once, don't know what people find special about this place. There is always a wait and they don't serve anything outstanding for dinner food. It's a small place, that may be why you would wait longer than usual to be seated. read more

I honestly come here 5 days a week for breakfast and the food is good and the prices are even better. The staff is very friendly and the owners are just as nice. The food is so much better then the other diners in the area you should really check them out read more

This is a hidden gem in the riverdale section of the bronx stopped by for a quick bite and at first was a bit skeptical as the place looked really small and outdated from the outside the service was fast i ordered a western omelette with cheese homefries and wheat toast and ate the whole meal delicious!!!! coffee was really good too didn't have a bitter taste it is a bit outdated but the food, cleanliness and service makes up for it will def be back here for some good breakfast! And great service read more

This diner has a good decor and old school diner vibe to it. Food choices are ok, service was mediocre, and prices for a diner were not worth it. Will have to think about this place before going back. read more

just had breakfast & although it's reasonably priced , it wasn't that good. The homefries were so DRY - just horrible . The toast was chewy - never quite had bread like that. Breakfast should be a slam-dunk at any worthwhile diner. Needs much improvement read more

So close to being my favorite diner in the tri-state area yet so far. The burger was one of the best ever as were the French fries. The beef stew was excellent. The coffee was good and the lemon meringue was spectacular. Even the bread was tasty. Service though, was unremarkable. Our waitress brought our order and never came back to check on us. She was busy schmoozing with the regulars. There was lipstick on the coffee mug too, yuk. That should never happen. read more

Breakfast was awesome. I had eggs, bacon, home fries and toast and it was phenomenal. Friend had an irish breakfast: eggs with black pudding and they did an incredible job. Clean, great service, and great food. All for a reasonable price, definitely recommend. read more

Arrived at the diner at 6:05 p.m. on Sunday. The diner was NOT busy. We were seated on the left side of the diner. There was only 1 table waiting to be served their food on the left side. The waiter never came over to take out order or acknowledged us. We waited 15 minutes for the waiter to come over and finally decided to leave. The owner was at the cash register. Perhaps he needs to pay more attention to what his staff is doing. One waiter was seated at the 2 seats at the counter. The waiter on the right side of the diner was the only one working. read more

I have been eating here about once or twice a month. Service is excellent. Food very good.

Excellent service! We were served by a gentlemen who wore a hat that read "MEXICANO HASTA EL TOPE" I knew immediately that this place was the right business to support. My partner ordered a burger, he commented that it was juicy and flavorful. My pancakes were delicious and fuffy, just how I like'm. We ordered home fries but they were more like hashbrowns, not what we had in mind but a good surprise. read more

I wish I would have known about this little gem of a diner years ago. The service was good,the food was great. I will definitely be going back. read more

Elaine was an awesome waitress. The juices are very good. I loved the philly steak wrap

Looks straight out of the early 1960's. The chicken rice soup was clearly homemade and perfect, and the Gyros platter was tasty, with hot fries, hot meat, toasted pita,,,,The Greek salad was fine, but not great. Iced tea was perfect, with no aftertaste (bitterness is a sign of over steeping). This diner clearly has long term clientele, many of whom were ordering additional things to take home after eating there. Prices are reasonable. Gyro platter below $7. Soup $2. read more

It was closed for several months after a kitchen fire last year but thank goodness it re-opened as retro as ever with one of the best - and cheapest breakfasts - in the area. I go for eggs but the rest looks good and several people have recommended the burgers & the omnipresent gyros. read more

Love that boxcar look complete with octagenerian crowd. The waitresses, well, they have a bad case of sass-mouth. Yep, the service is brusk and the bus boys do most of the work. But the food? Really, really good. Everything tends to fresh, hot and homemade. One warning: if you're stout of size, the narrow aisles may not be the most accommodating. It is a boxcar, after all! It is worth sucking it in and squeezing through to get a good diner meal. Be prepared to bring home leftovers. read more

Had one off meal there but they're generally solid diner food. Burgers and salads are good.

Highly recommend Tibbett Diner. They have many varieties for breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Definitely going back to try everything on the menu. read more

I really wasn't expecting much, but this diner surpassed my expectations. Ordered a western omelette, rye toast, and coffee. Boy ordered corned beef hash with over easy eggs and white toast. Both came with a healthy heap of home fries. My omlette was not greasy, not overcooked, and jam packed with fillings. Boy's hash was a little salty and smokey, but good. Really liked the food and loved the modern retro interior. The service was quick and attentive and the tab was cheap. They do have short distance delivery, but if you live further away you can call for a take out order. There is parking, but its limited; small lot and some on street. Family friendly environment, but no big tables for large parties. I strongly recommend this diner to others; I will be back! read more
