Best place I ate last summer when I visited Youngstown. The food was delicious everything I ate was outstanding. I was surprised but this place gets it! The Burger was done to perfection and the breakfast was was unreal, everything cooked like it should. Glad we found this place through some locals there we met visiting this past summer. I wanted to write a review because people often write when they are unsatisfied but we will go back again and again a local place with good food read more

Food and service is always great!! Small town USA with a great view of the river and Canada!

Very cold during summer (bring jacket) very good service though. Food was hot and delicious. Bathrooms are pretty small. But the great view of the water makes up for it. Eggs and bagels are sooo good!!!! read more

Youngstown Village Diner - Dippy eggs cream cheese bagel - Diners Near Me - Youngstown, New York

This is the quintessential local diner! Small town friendly with a sizeable menu. Portions are large and always as expected. Food is exactly what you expect from a diner. My daughter and I had breakfast there and I wasn't disappointed. The portion of ham steak covered 1/3 of the platter- eggs done over easy perfectly and hash browns were hot and crispy. Limited hours and fills up on the weekends. Will be going back! read more

Everything you want in a local diner: inexpensive good food, pleasant friendly staff, and a wonderful view.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. It's different from most diners near Lake Ontario in a couple key ways: 1) They don't serve breakfast all day. It was over when we arrived between 11 and noon. On one hand, this cuts down on my usual indecisiveness. On the other hand, I actually wanted breakfast today. 2) They do serve beer and wine. This is also one of the more attractive diners in the area with a nice view overlooking the river. My husband really enjoyed his patty melt. It was so filling, he had to save half for dinner. My burger was good, but they were a little too generous with the cheddar cheese, which made for an extra greasy burger. The fries are great. Service is excellent. We'll have to make it back for breakfast some time. read more

Youngstown Village Diner - Saucy. - Diners Near Me - Youngstown, New York

Paul Simon sang the song Slip Sliding Away and as I sat in this old diner wondering about service ... The rating kept slip sliding away. This diner has a great view of the Niagara River and it is popular judging by the Wednesday lunch time crowd. However their staff do not find engaging conversations as an element in a welcoming restaurant. The menu options are limited so I chose the Western NY classic beef on weck. I was told the macaroni salad was homemade this morning (no tuna) so I chose it over the fries. And, then I waited .... Perhaps it is just one guy alone that slows service but hello can my overly rushed non-conversant waitress take the moment in passing to whisper in my ear that my meal is coming? The plate was dropped in front of me with a nice kitchen created presentation (Yes, looks matter.). However the weck roll didn't have a lot of salt/caraway, which makes a weck a weck. The pickle from a jar was just that. A small side of horseradish. If you expect your beef medium rare on sandwiches especially weck's this baby's beef was cooked completely ... A little au jus helped but there is a reason most of us like a little pink and its this element named taste or flavor in the beef. The Mac salad had some crunchy elements an indication of fresh with a relish oriented flavor. I was actually considering dessert until my waitress just dropped the check on my table while asking if I needed more water. I said yes just to get more service from her. Glancing around at other diners' plates left me not regretting my choice of lunch ... I did notice that the soda (pop) is served in their plastic bottles not from a soda fountain. Those bottles made me think that the diners brought their own in. A final thought .... Servers having a bad day when a smile or friendly word does not come naturally should in the words of Seinfeld's Elaine Benes "FAKE IT FAKE FAKE FAKE!" read more

Had not eaten since bkft and was early evening I was looking for a place to have a meal and came upon the diner. It was packed with locals. The area have very nice view of the lake. I was promptly greeted and was told I could seat myself. The menu is large, the specials were all pasta dishes. I ordered the pork chops that came w/ salad & choice of potato. The salad was either house salad or Caesar salad. I chose the house and it was delicious. I usually don't eat all the salad this one I devoured. With a bit of french dressing. The chops were thin and well seasoned, but they came a bit undercooked and I had to return them to the chef to be done for a bit longer. The potato was of perfect consistency. For dessert I ordered the apple pie a la mode (nicely tart) and iced tea complimented the meal. read more

Always treated well! Staff is efficient and you never feel rushed. Great menu choices and specials.

Food was great, old school diner feel, waiters are fast & efficient, would definitely come again

About fifteen miles away from Niagara Falls is the seemingly deserted and bit ominous Youngstown. We were in the area during breakfast time and the only place open was this diner. Youngstown Village Diner definitely had a homey and warm atmosphere; it's a gem of Youngstown. We were quickly seated by our waitress, Margaret, who was full of charisma and effortless humor. As I ordered my breakfast on a bun, I asked her what kind of ham they serve in it (turkey or pork), and she said, "I don't know, it's ham... ham-ham." I literally could not stop laughing. Then when my mom ordered the number two breakfast combo, Margaret asked her how she liked her eggs. My mom nonchalantly replied, "Cooked medium," and Margaret didn't even budge and went along with it. It was so funny because she meant if she liked the eggs either sunny side up, scrambled, or poached. The food came in about ten minutes. Everything was delicious and fresh. After we were done eating, I asked Margaret what is there to do around here. She told us of the attractions nearby, but we have already seen or done most of them. Then she jokingly said, "Or you could help me do the dishes!" and lightly slapped me on the arm. I couldn't hold in my laughter. read more

Nice little diner with a nice view of the river. Friendly and no is staffs. We got seated right away for some Monday lunch. Ordered a southwest burger with fries. Burger was good, but it was a little plain, need some flavor. However, their fries were amazing and tasty, balanced the flavor for the dish. Overall, nice and cozy diner for some breakfast and lunch. read more

Youngstown Village Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Youngstown, New York

The food is always good, the staff is very friendly, and the river view is tranquil. A comfortable place to grab a bite.

Came here as a big group for my aunts birthday last Monday. The food was delicious I got a meatball )which I will only eat from certain places) IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I got the baked ziti for dinner and it was really good and cheap! I normally make baked ziti once a week for dinner since it's so easy to make, but I decided to go out last week and order it instead! I also had the pumpkin pie which was delicious. The pumpkin pie and ice cream was so good it just melted in my mouth. It's weird how they do the bottles of pop and not just keep refilling your drink, but I guess it works. My grandparents continue to go there at least once a week and I will make it back there with them one day to try the meatloaf! I heard the meatloaf is amazing along with the fish fry. read more

Awesome breakfast. We order takeout weekly to support our local diner but also due to wonderful staff

Favorite breakfast spot. The views are phenomenal and food never disappoints.

We stopped for breakfast on our way out of town, Sunday morning. We loved everything about this small town diner! The food was delicious and the place reminded us of our own small town diner near home that recently closed its doors, so we were happy! We sat in the back room by the window and had amazing views of the Niagara River. The place was boomin' this morning, hardly any empty tables that I could see. Definitely stop here if you're in the area! I must say, try the blueberry pancakes... yum! read more

We were there twice this weekend while staying in the area, first time was amazing I had an omelette my husband had the hash, very clean non oily/greasy food. We returned Sunday morning was a little busy but it took about a 30 mins. Our waitress was a little older than the rest which good for you but you missed out on a few things. I had no ham in my omelette I asked for bacon for my daughter got sausage. I asked for more juice for her for none. I asked for milk twice for my coffee never got it She was very unfriendly. Then upon paying she slid my card across the counter so it fell on the floor and she walked away. read more

This is a fun, "classic diner" place we enjoy visiting. This weekend, I had the grilled cheese and requested bacon added. Was one of the best grilled cheeses I've had in awhile (good amount of butter but not greasy, runny cheese that was melty). My boyfriend and his brother went 2 days in a row for the LA Toast that his brother loves. It's nice to see a local, family restaurant be so successful. I don't know if I've ever gone at a time it's not busy. Would recommend, especially for breakfast or lunch! read more

Good food, staff is friendly! Everybody knows everybody. Chicken parm sub is delicious !

I went out to breakfast by myself on a Saturday morning. It was a little busy but I was seated quickly since I was a table for 1. I ordered the scrambled eggs, toast, sausage links and home fries. When it got to me 2 of the 4 things were wrong. I got sunny side up eggs(don't like runny eggs) and I got bacon. This was my first and probably last time going there. Couldn't even get my order right and I was a table of one. read more

This is the go-to place for locals, where everybody knows [their] name. As an out-of-town visitor you, too, can enjoy the same very friendly, service. If you want fancy food, or worry about the exact temperature and amount of "au jus" with your Beef on a Weck, you might be happier in a fancy Lewiston place. But then you would be missing a great chance to enjoy good food in an honest diner that understands community (with a great view of the Niagara River and Canada on the side). read more

I have been here at least once a year for as long as I can remember. It is my grandfather's favorite place bc he used to sail his boat here and the restaurant looks out over the water. That is about all they have going for them. The actual diner is washed up and badly needing some updates. The food is average at best. The beef on weck is dry and tasteless. I guess it is cheap... read more

Stopped here for breakfast while in town for a hockey tourney and on our way to Old Fort Niagara for some sightseeing.

Excellent service and the girls are super friendly. Fresh food.

Went there for a late lunch today. When it was Jimmy's use to go there weekly. Long time ago... Anyway Village diner was clean, the staff was welcoming, which means a lot now a days. Bit of a view of the river if seated way in back. Service was prompt and friendly. I had the marinated chicken salad, my husband had the Greek salad with steak. Both were delicious!! In fact better than salads I've had recently that cost twice as much. Came with perfectly toasted garlic bread, just the right size, not to little and not too much. I will be back even though it is. not local for me. 2 up. read more
