Fifth Avenue Diner

My friends and I wanted to film a short film here so we called ahead of time and asked for permission which we were granted over the phone. We said we would buy food and even offered to pay to rent out the space but they said it wasn’t necessary. As soon as we entered the woman working the counter said that she didn’t know we were coming into film even though we called in advance. She immediately greeted us with an attitude and reluctantly said we could film. When we arrived we ordered food as promised, mozzarella sticks, cheesecake and a milkshake. After eating half of the cheesecake my friend discovered mold in her food (attached below). When I told the woman that there was mold in the food she didn’t apologize all she said was hmm but she did take the food off the bill. In total we paid

I have been in large, modern diners where the servers tend to a few tables each and I have to wait and wait. The Fifth Avenue Diner has one (1) person working EVERY table, the counter and the cash register, yet the service is impeccable. Orders taken quickly, coffee filled and refilled, food services in a timely manner and hot. Dated place, but clean and pleasant. Front is open, so it’s nice and cool. Clean bathroom. Accessible ♿️. It’s the way all diners should be.

I went to this restaurant with my kids and had a terrible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with complete disrespect. The hostess didn’t greet us at all — instead, she just made a hand gesture for us to sit down as if we were animals. The waiter placed the cups upside down on the table with no napkins, then dropped off a pitcher without a word. We sat there for 20 minutes with no service, while people who came in after us were attended to right away. No one took our order until the waiter overheard me complaining to my son. At that point, I had no trust left in how they would handle our food, so we left. This experience was unacceptable. It felt discriminatory and unwelcoming. I will never return, and I will make sure to let people I know avoid this place as well. No

There are many other options in the area, including other diners. What I especially like about this place is the neighborhood feel. When I walked in they greeted me by saying hi, a new friend. I sat at the counter and Manuela was a gem, polite, friendly and efficient. As a cleanliness nut, this place is extremely clean which I love. I had a feta, mushroom omelet with grits. The feta melted nicely and blended really well with the eggs and mushrooms. The grits were creamy and tasty. As I write my review I can hear various chit chat and the overall environment is a a community friendly place with fresh, tasty food at a reasonable price. I look forward to coming back.

great little diner, really great service. no WiFi, lots of coffee refills, cash only for under $20. i had a yummy omelet and home fries. no fuss, just food. recommend.
