Since we stay just across the street, this is our staple diner for a quick breakfast or a relaxed brunch afternoon. We usually end up ordering the classics like omelette, sandwiches, pancakes and French toast. The taste of the food is not extraordinary but I really love the cozy seating of the place. N that's what exactly pulls me here, every single time!
Tower Diner has been a staple in Rego Park for g-d knows how long. I have dined here numerous times over the years and the service has always been good. Never really liked their french fries that came with omelettes, so I would opt for home fries. Place has 24 hr delivery, I mean, thats unheard of anywhere. Im sure they get a bulk of business due to delivering. A great local dinner, diverse menu. Check it out, yelpers , if your in my hood.
This is my neighborhood diner … The service is great and the food is exquisite diner food ..
You have to have a go to diner it's like going to your favorite aunties house !!!
Just know that their veggie omelette tastes like any other egg scramble and vegetable bits out there. You actually want to order their omelette with sausage, extra bacon, avocado, and swiss cheese. With a split-open croissant on the side. Coffee was replenished regularly. They're generous with their jam and butter packets.
You might want to run 5 miles after that meal, but I settled for gazing longingly at the ridiculous prices of fruits and veggies lining Queens Boulevard.
I think I was born with a bit of New Jersey soul (don't laugh, I know dirty Jerz is the industrial armpit of America, I can't help it, I went to Chinese school in Edison and Bergen and Edgewater and South Amboy), because diners are my favorite places ever to bunker down with a quick, fly-by meal of eggs and bacon. Especially those diners with the ripped red vinyl high-tops.
Can't say that my heart really skips a beat for the other non-breakfast fare, but honestly, why would you go to a diner of all places if you weren't in the mood for pancakes, eggs, and bacon?
Stop in here for a quick bite to eat on our way home. It was nice, clean, and the staff was attentive but the food was less than great. We ordered the nachos as an appetizer which looked and tasted like something that was haphazardly slapped together. I also ordered the avocado salad with a scoop of tuna ($13) which again was nothing special… Same goes for hubby's sandwich. Not the worse place to eat, but we won't be running back anytime soon.
A little pricey but it's open 24 hours, has a nicer ambiance than some diners I've been in and has good fries. Service was just fine & I remember it being cold in here on a hot day. Menu selection is pretty good; no complaints here.
Stopped in here late night for a quick bite. Felt like we were rushed because they were starting to close, my question is, why seat us then?
Food was just ok, nothing special, most likely would not return.
Tower Diner is a gem in this neighborhood because every area needs a diner! Decent parking in the area and close to mass transportation. It gets SUPER crowded on the weekends for brunch so come early. We were able to get a table for five, just in time before the long wait for tables began. It's a tiny place so don't expect something like the mass of Georgia Diner.
If a place messes up breakfast, then super fail for them. Luckily, Tower Diner knows how to get breakfast right. Service is quick and food comes out fairly fast. I ordered two eggs with bacon and holy! They gave me a lot of bacon. I like places that don't skimp on bacon. I also like my bacon crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside – Tower Diner cooks it this way.
