I like it and I don't even know why! The stools are uncomfortable! The ladies aren't even that nice to you! THE COFFEE IS ONLY OK. But. They will call you sweetie and there's a solid chrome Parthenon hanging on the wall, and you can post up with a newspaper of a Sunday morning and have french toast and coffee for $4. Where do I sign. read more

Tina's is the classic diner in the neighborhood. Open early in the morning (around 3 am) so it is a good snack when you get back from those late nights, and they are open until around 3 pm so you can also head back there for breakfast/brunch the next morning. Everything you would expect from a diner. Great breakfast deals, especially if you get there before 11. It doesn't have the glitz and glam of some of the hip spots over here, but it also doesn't have the prices. This is a really good average-neighborhood-diner with nice breakfast and sandwich choices at a good value. read more

I know that this place is pretty dumpy by most standards, but sometimes, when I'm coming home at 8AM from a crazy night all I want is a 3.50 breakfast or a 6 dollar burger with fries and a soda. Especially after I just blew 40 bucks on drinking out in Williamsburg. Sometimes, I really dont care if the waitress is nice to me or not, she works a diner for christ sake. I just want to not break the bank and eat an OK meal that I didn't make. In a neighborhood like mine, where you can't get a real meal for less than 8 bucks, this place is an oasis. Bushwick needs more places like Tina's. read more

Brilliant local diner. Opens early. The best vegetarian omelette, home fries and rye toast. Weak, endless coffee. Cosy and friendly and cheap! Can get very busy at weekends. Keep an eye out for Tina herself and the poster of the penguin keeping a bunch of avocados warm! read more

Tina's Place - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wish that I got to go here when this place opens at 3:30 am. Instead, I made my way out here on their "closing shift" at 3:00 pm. It was definitely a diner made for the night owls and for the people coming back from a long night of partying, hence the various medications like Advil up for sale behind the counter. Tina's has your standard diner fare at low prices, but it's not something I'd write home about. I was very satisfied with my burger meal: $5.00 gets you a large homemade burger with a heaping serving of french fries that really hit the spot. I would come back if I returned to the Bushwick neighborhood. You can't really go wrong with local, greasy diner food that's open at all hours of the night, can you? read more

I'm loyal to this place, first went here in 2008. Typically i get breakfast from here delivered. I tip very well. In the last year, my experience of this place has unfortunately deteriorated, however. My order is frequently incorrect--to the tune of forgetting cheese or meat on a sandwich, and increasingly arrives quite late as well. Sad face. read more

I truly love this place. Yes, it's a wee bit greasy, but the prices & Tina's personality more than make up for the grease. The feta cheese omelet is rather tasty and I've honestly never had a meal there I didn't enjoy! Fun side note: I recently found out that Tina's is celebrating 40 years of business. Yay Tina! read more

There is something special about Tina's. Its not the food, as it is basic mediocre diner food. The old school diner vibe. The "Hey Sweetie" added to each approach. Breakfast special combo: -Coffee -2 eggs -Home fries -Toast $3.50 read more

I stumbled into this joint with my friend Carl the afternoon of my birthday. I was really eyeing the cake, i'm not going to lie. But I got a burger, BBQ bacon burger. It was not good. It was dry, and there was no lettuce, tomato, or onions. But i will say this, when you're drunk at 3am it tastes most excellent. We should have gone to McDonalds. read more

Food is greasy spoon, a standard version with nothing unexpected. Everyone comes here but on a weekend it's like college. The griddle is tiny and the dining room is big so it takes about 30 minutes for your eggs to come out. I'm sure it's a welcome relief from the new whipper-snapper coffee shops that keep opening up. Would I come back? I'm not opposed to it. The staff is casual and the amount of time it takes to get your food forces you to talk to your partner. Be sure they don't have their head in their phones though. read more

Best spot for breakfast or lunch. I've gone many times.m, it's cash only and it can get very busy. But the waiting staff are so nice and the food is amazing and cheap! read more

I think the description that Yelp uses for three stars is appropriate here: "A-OK" Don't walk into this quiet corner breakfast spot and expect more then what your mamma would make you on a week day. Let's keep in mind that Tina opened this place for the workers of the neighborhood. She opens around 530AM and closes soon after lunch. Simple, cheap food is the best way to describe Tina's. Now that I have moved from Bushwick I honestly miss seeing Tina (the owner) a few times a week for a good meal, as cheaply as I could make it myself. read more

I'm a little biased. I live down the street. Sometimes I get caught up with grad school work and forget to eat; then I arrive at Tina's in a desperate state of hunger and irritation with whatever project I just put aside. So, food is pretty good by default. But I still think Tina's is tops. Fluffy, moist pancakes. Classically greasy diner sausage and brisket aren't quite so greasy that you'd get queasy like ya would at a lot of other diners. Hot, fresh coffee. Prompt, no-frills service. The TV is usually set to a decent newscast rather than anything obnoxious, and volume is reasonable. If you want Vermont maple syrup and a waitress in a mini skirt who does at-home teeth whitener just so she can flash you a hot smile while she pours your fresh-squeezed OJ, go find a fancy brunch place in Williamsburg. But if you want good, cheap eats in Bushwick, this is a great bet. One caveat: I'm pretty sure delivery is NOT free as posted on the tarp outside. Only ordered delivery once. I was handed a bill with a flat sum on it - no itemization of my sandwich and dessert - and it was a few bucks steeper than I anticipated and I'm pretty familiar with the menu. read more

5 stars for the price. Don't go here looking for fancy food. This is literally your average american diner- One of a dying breed. It's simple, easy, basic eats. read more

I'm blown away by any of the bad reviews of this place, it's SUPER cheap and good food! It's an old school Brooklyn place, you can't expect exceptional service people! The staff has always been friendly and no, they're not always the most organized, but it's about the food, prices and keeping an old Bushwick place alive. I hope to the heavens above this place stays around forever, it's real Bushwick. read more

The best place to watch 'The Family Feud' in all of West Bushwick. If you order eggs over-easy, white toast, fries & a side of mayo it's possible to have an all off-white meal. read more

Free coffee (or tea or OJ) before 11am. That right there pretty much makes this a lock for me. On top of that, the prices are super cheap! For $4 I got two eggs, hash browns and toast (plus the coffee). It was great. Nothing fancy, but you can't it. It's a decent sized place, and has a classic diner look on the inside. The service was fine too. Maybe not "immediate" as some people might want, but not overwhelming and annoying. Totally cool with me. Get there before 3 or 4 though cuz that's when they close. read more

For what it is, Tina's is as good as it gets. Super cheap, super greasy, and open right at bar close. And Tina is seemingly always there. And they DELIVER, for when you're so hungover you need someone to bring your hangover food directly to you. read more

Solid diner food all night long. I love the pastrami, egg and cheese sandwich. The blueberry muffins grilled are awesome and good coffee, what more could you want! read more

I LOVE this place. I come here literally a few times a week and I don't even live in Bushwick/East Williamsburg. Everyone knows everyone at the diner, it's a real home-feel-diner. To all the negative reviews on here: Maybe you should stick with your pretentious and overpriced places that are just like all the other places in this city. This is Tina's, it's real and down to earth (just like it's awesome prices), so I guess only people as such will like it. Don't come here to get exquisite meals and spotless fake-friendly service. Come here to chill and get a cheap yummy breakfast/lunch in a super chill vibe where no one gives a fuck what you do, what you wear, whatever! It's basically like a home. It's open to any the fuck one who just wants to have a cheap meal. I love this place so much that yes, I even feel a bit offended when people talk badly about this place. Haha. read more

Very rude always putting up their price for the French fries Will not recommend this place no more read more

With so many diners and cafes in NYC it's hard to get some deliciously basic breakfast foods. Tina's has been around for 80 years, their service is quick and simple, their prices are extremely low, and their food is great. Their hours are heavenly for early morning party goers and exhausted graveyard shift workers. If you're in the area during those hours, check this place out. It's mom and pop feel paired with its yummy food and cheap prices will leave you fully satisfied. read more

Tina's Place - Omelettes are on point! - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been here for breakfast a few times and while that was great, I went for lunch today and was more than pleased with the burger and fries. Good food at a great price. read more

Does its job reminds me of diners when I was a child, tastes good and cheap. Fits all of the spots for me!

Been coming here for years, one of the best breakfast spots to go to! Great service and food.

Tina's Place is a Bushwick staple. I've been coming here since before Bushwick became a thing - back when no one wanted to come near "that deserted part of Bushwick near the dangerous looking Morgan stop on the L train". Back when the main clientele were workers from Boars Head or the old geezers from the area. I digress. I used to order breakfast from here every single day. Tina is a nice lady but very firm when she needs to be, especially when her main customers were men. She seems like a hard working woman and I'm glad to see business has gotten better for this place! Solid diner food, great prices, quick delivery. read more

Two stars because, yes, it is very cheap and the food is edible enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm no foodie or snob. I love diners, especially old and worn-in diners. But even by simple diner standards, this place is weak. The service is comical; good luck getting a coffee refill or a check without walking up to the counter. If you want to romanticize the common greasy spoon, truckstop, family restaurant, or diner, you can do better at any number of places, folks. Try Delight Diner & Donuts in Ridgewood, for example. Even Kellogg's is better. read more

Artery-clogging truckstop/diner food served up with astounding dedication by stalwart Tina, who is a fixture at the restaurant bearing her name. Perfect for when you're broke and lazy. The best thing about Tina's is if you've been out partying late and want a hangover helper, she opens ridiculously early, like 3 or 4 am, to catch the Boar's Head drivers who I think are her main clientele. (On the daytime side, If you don't make it here by 1PM at the latest, you'll get nothing.) read more

This place is best described as a bit gritty. They are open late which in a neighborhood where all the food options seem to close at 11pm it's nice if your craving food at 4am. The food was very greasy and inexpensive. The service was very slow, so slow we finally had to track down the check. I feel like their delivery service is probably less frustrating than going there to eat, and if I do try Tina's again, thats what I plan on doing. read more

Tina's is not ashamed to be a hole in the wall greasy spoon -- it couldn't pretend otherwise if it tried. Every review seems to mention Tina's upside: it's cheap. That it is, but at what price thrift? When I walked in I didn't see the hostess waiting with a menu so I seated myself. It should be noted that for a greasy spoon, Tina's has what appear to be quite clean dishes and tables. After waiting for my waitress for a while during the busy brunch hour, I ordered a hamburger with onion rings. The burger was a gray patty slick with ConAgra juice on a toasted bun while the onion rings were from an economy sized box of frozen foods and had all the appeal of the napkin it sat next to. No price is low enough to eat such awful food -- especially when there are equally inexpensive alternatives close by. My total was $5, which was cheap enough not to cause too much resentment of my lost time and appetite. read more

Huge Fail for an NYC diner. Real diners ground it out. You order, you eat. We could've walked to a store, bought eggs, cooked hash browns and rye bread from scratch and eaten every bite in the time it took this "diner" to bring our food to the table. One hour sitting with a subpar cup of coffee before our breakfast arrived. When we asked at 35 minute mark, the waitress tells the cook "do 6f before that row of delivery orders". Our food came 25 minutes later. Not a diner. Fail. read more

OK: Here is why I am a fan. I moved here from a very small town and Tina's reminds of my greasy diner at home. Perfect for a cheap-o 2-egg, toast, home fries and coffee deal and great for a hangover. I went in at around 2 PM and the staff was actually really kind to us, we sat at the bar and it hit the spot. I'm definitely going back when I am in the mood for diner breakfast again. PS: I never really count for amazing service at these kinds of places, it's not a given with the price. read more

Love this place! I eat breakfast here multiple times a week. Growing up in NH, diners like this were everywhere. When I came to New York, it seemed like the only sort of breakfast you could get was hipster brunch or IHOP. Tina's serves great, no frills food. Go before 11 and get free coffee with your breakfast special. The hours are a little funny (3am-4pm) and they only accept cash, but nonetheless, I'll never stop coming. read more

Old school diner at its finest. If you're craving that small town diner in a deserted town in central Massachusetts feel, go here. If this were closer to a truckers stop I think the hours would be more accommodating (they're a bit odd for my taste). No frills diner, solid food. ...craving this food now... read more

Nice little spot. Food is surprisingly good. I always drive past here and never noticed it. But now its my new little spot for the moment .. read more

Simply put: classic, perfect, wood paneling. The best bang for your buck anywhere in the city. Old school happiness. The place you want every diner to be. Heaven. read more

Foul. I expected a greasy spoon but this was just out of control. My friends all got egg sandwiches that didn't look appetizing to me, so I tried to order some plain toast. They put margarine on it. They said that's the only way it comes. Really? The bread is pre-trans-fatted? No thanks. I understand the cheap-factor may be alluring, but really... I can make this stuff at home with ingredients from the Greenmarket for the same price. Give me a break, and hold the margarine. read more

This is a really cute inexpensive place to dine. Their food is great and the waiters are so nice, me and my boyfriend went here for brunch and we will come again! 10/10 read more

Best spot in Brooklyn, amazing service, amazing food, reasonably priced. The deuce was filmed here, you need to eat here at least once if not every day read more

The only reason why this place even gets two stars from me, is because on the off occasion that I need super cheap breakfast super near by, I will go there. There food is edible. The staff however, is among the worst I have ever encountered. If you eat at Tina's.... You will be ignored, they will put butter where you ask for it not to be and cream, they will make your easy eggs well done, your well done eggs runny, your coffee cup will stay empty unless you get up and walk to the counter, same goes for condiments and the check. You might as well forget that Tina's is a sit down diner and just treat it like a McDonalds. read more
