George's Diner — Restaurant in New York

I had the unique pleasure of eating at George’s Diner last weekend while I was in NY to visit family. The food is Top Quality in texture taste and Really, everything in between! I recommend George’s to anyone coming near the Bronx!!

Our party of 8 had only a 15 minute wait around 11AM. George had no problem sending these cakes to our tables—complimentary.

You could see him going to the other tables and getting lollipops to the kids in the Diner. These were the good kinds with gum in the middle. Each of us could tell that this Diner was something he Loved dedicating to. We really appreciated the great customer service and I would recommend it to anybody!! Passion for ones work is a beautiful thing to see in person and the food says it all. Not everybody has that!! I’m inspired.

I ordered a veggie omelet , vegetable soup, and sweet potato fries. The veggie omelet was Not loaded, just how I like it, piping hot, not at all salty.(I like to add salt and hot sauce and black pepper) The vegetable soup was SUPERB. Well balanced naturally thick the greens weren’t overwhelming and you could taste every vegetable that went into the soup! Basic and clean and bold. The sweet potato fries were almost all long and thin and crispy. I could horde them into my mouth for ever. They feel so light! Everything...

Unfortunately my experience here was not as good as others. It was my first time at the diner on Monday morning 8/26. When I walked in the waitress attempted to sit me down on a table near another customer but since there was so much tables available I asked if I can choose a table near the window and she said yes. She did not specify that the table I chose was not in her section. Me and my partner sat there waiting for her to provide us with menus and take our order. It was odd that she never came to us because the diner was empty. Another couple walked in after us and she gave them water, menus and spoke with them as we stood there waiting. At this point I asked why was she taking their order before ours since we had arrived first. She rudly said "you are not sitting in my section" then pointed to the waitress who suppose to take our order but she was sitting down eating. She then slammed menus on my table and seemed bothered that she had to take our order. I asked for the manager and she refused to get him, she said he was busy downstairs. I ended up leaving the diner. I've always wanted to eat at this diner but unfortunately I will not...

My 1st time there. So I can't speak about the rest of the menu. I ordered a Belgian waffle. The waffle was Huge, Thick & Fluffy. At other diners, many times, they would only have 1 piece of fresh fruit. Here I asked and received plenty mixed Fresh Fruit. They grilled my beef sausage (not deep fried) and another surprising item that I asked and received... Honey. You would b surprised how many diners don't have honey, or IF they do, it's those tiny prepackaged honey. Here they gave me a small disposable cup, w/more than enough honey for my Waffle & Sausage. George's had a big & busy staff. To me, that tells me its popular in the area, more important, the food moves fast. Which means food is fresh. A man named George, who I assumed is the owner, went around speaking to the customers at their booths. Which I thought was cool. Though, I'm sure his alterior motive was to apologize for the poor heating. Didnt bother me, I like it chilly. The only set back, no parking lot. Street parking only. Not like the many in Qns I've been to. My bill $14 with a $3...
