Daisy's Diner — Restaurant in New York

Nestled in the heart of Park Slope, a picturesque neighborhood adorned with historic brownstones and tree-lined avenues, lies "Daisy's Diner" - a culinary gem that has stood the test of time. With 60 years in Park Slope and 30 under the same dedicated owner, this diner is a testament to timeless charm and culinary excellence.

Park Slope is a vibrant tapestry of families, young professionals, and open-minded individuals. The eclectic blend of indie boutiques, trendy eateries, and cozy bakeries along 5th and 7th Avenues makes it a haven for both locals and visitors. And as the leaves turn golden in the fall, the family-friendly ambiance of the area becomes even more enchanting.

Stepping into Daisy's Diner is like taking a delightful trip down memory lane. The classic diner ambiance, complete with the familiar counter seating, evokes a sense of nostalgia. While the decor remains largely unchanged (save for some modern light fixtures), the food is as mouthwatering as ever.

I vividly recall stepping into this quaint nook one Saturday morning, fresh from a fishing expedition with my buddies. As we regaled each other with tales of our maritime adventures, each story more grandiose than the last, the owner would sit by the counter, chuckling behind his morning paper, clearly entertained by our exaggerated recounts. Every so often, as a nod to our spirited storytelling, he'd treat the "brave sea conquerors" to a complimentary stack of what he fondly termed "flapjacks." I suspect it was his subtle way of silencing our boisterous tales, but we loved every bite of it!

On my recent visit, I indulged in a scrumptious plate of scrambled eggs with cheddar, crispy bacon, and perfectly seasoned potatoes peppered with onions. Each bite was a delightfully diner fare, reminding me of why I fell in love with this place a 45 years ago. The potatoes were notably fresh, non-greasy, and cooked to perfection. Just as I remembered way back when. I guess it's because they have the same cook from back then.

Though Daisy's may seem like a modest "hole in the wall" to some, it's a treasure trove of deliciousness. The swift service, coupled with the warm, freshly prepared dishes, makes every visit worthwhile.

In conclusion, if you're in Park Slope and seeking a classic diner experience that's both authentic and delectable, Daisy's Diner is the place to be. Here's to many more years of delightful dishes and cherished...

I'm told this place has been around for a while... and is on at least it's 2nd owner ...it has total charm. I liked it... the place just keeps going back further and further with row after row of cool 'secluded type' booth seating ...to a window in the back looking out at a parking lot and 'mod type' tallish building. There is an exit door to the parking lot but I don't know if it is used a lot.

We sat in the back. Lots of room. The whole place is a 'frayed at the edges' / 'lived in' but totally lovable. It is not dirty but 'worn.' It is an 'aged nicely' look like someone would buy at IKEA (a 'distressed' piece of furniture, that is). I should have brought my camera-phone to take pictures... there are 'picture worthy' things.

It was a second night out for me and the extended family ...Mom, her (our) friend and part of the family that were somewhere else for Thanksgiving were there (six of us). It was roomy and they were very accommodating at Daisy's ...the waitress was on her game and attentive. Refills, extras items... good friendly attitude.

I ordered 'Cajun Glazed' Chicken... it was tasty, came out on three plates & a fourth to hold a gravy cup (that I shared with my friend right across from who had a brisket sliced thing on mashed potatoes. "It was a good amount of food" (and could have easily fed me and someone else or be 'take home' as well) I think that is the idea here... as I looked at everyone having 'LG Size potions.'

Like I said... it's been here a while and the patrons plus staff are laid back (but not lazy) ...like a comfortable living room (it's the local living room for sure) ...or like the 'clubhouse' you and your friends had with a bunch of different types of furniture (and a patched hole in a bench seat). I want to stress again that the food was good... large amounts, decent prices ...and the surroundings, charming, cozy... to include good service and round the clock hours. No one in my group even mentioned anything that put them off and we all just enjoyed the eating and talking (like everyone else there in their own...

DISHONEST BUSINESS BEWARE: Please if you decide to come here, pay attention to the prices on the receipt. They are actively being shady in hopes people won’t notice. Upcharged me for oat milk in my ice coffee when I ordered regular milk ($2 btw) Beef sausage was $5.75 on the menu and they charged me $7 on my receipt. There is a sub-charge for any order that includes eggs (which is valid but this isn’t mentioned anywhere on the menu and when I asked how much the up charge was today, they couldn’t tell me) so expect to add $3 extra to any menu items with eggs. (Or whatever they feel like charging that day)

Manager/owner was defensive when politely asking for clarification of prices. I asked how much my iced coffee was and he said 5 or 6 dollars. I asked which one is it? 5 or 6? He said he didn’t know and “can’t memorize all 300 items on the menu” Meanwhile, coffee prices aren’t even listed on the menu. As a consumer, I would like to know what I’m paying for and how much and I believe that is a fair expectation.

The practices at this place are extremely shady and they use the tactic of adding a couple extra dollars to menu prices in hopes people won’t notice. It’s completely wrong.

On a positive note, the waiter was incredibly kind and they serve good quality coffee beans (Variety Coffee Roasters). Highly recommend the coffee and you can get a cold brew for under $5 plus NO upcharge for alternative milks at their location on the corner of 8th street and 7th avenue! (5...
