In a somewhat gritty, light-industrial warehouse-filled area, beneath the overhead tracks of the F Train's I stop, is not a lot of anything when it comes to grub. In fact I counted 2 places within a multi-block range… a corner deli with a myriad of fast food choices, and McDonald Ave. Diner, 2 doors down. (Note: there are two large food markets nearby, should you want to whip us something from scratch).
I chose the latter place, McDonald Ave. Diner, hoping for something a tad more healthy/tasty. And it is a shiny/clean contrast to the well worn neighborhood. The menu is pretty typical diner fare – 2 pages of breakfast stuff, an assortment of sandwiches, heroes, burgers, noodle dishes, grilled items and pockets of Italian and Mediterranean favorites.
With such as range, it's hard to know what they might specialize in. Likewise, it also makes one wonder if they might have too much variety. Example: they had a number of seafood dishes, but seeing how I was the only customer during a weekday lunch hour*, I kinda questioned the turnover of aquatic inventory. Price wise, it's fairly inexpensive, with most meals coming in under $10.
And you get what you pay for. It's not bad… just very plain, basic, diner fare. Guy Fieri isn't going to be pulling up anytime soon to try the "previously frozen hamburger patty with lettuce on a plain white bun."
As such, I would file this under the category: "not worth a journey, but OK if you're in need of some non-special diner grub."
* oddly, I was the only person there at 1 p.m., but when leaving at 2, it suddenly filled with locals.
