Riverdale Diner - BRONX

This diner KICKS ASS. Great greeting, great service, same huge menu, reasonable prices, great desserts, etc, but great Hispanic twist in a this iconic New York Diner... Breakfast Quesadilla w/Guacamole was OUTSTANDING. Bravo!

Riverdale Dinner has been a staple place to dine for decades. George and Anna, the owners of this diner have offered exceptional service to the community. I am hopeful the Riverdale Diner is not permanently closed, and will reopen soon.

This was my first time here in a while. The first couple of times were actually really good... That being said, WOW, this place is going downhill fast or maybe I just had a bad experience. It all started with the waiter barely understanding what we were ordering. He did not know what an avocado toast is... okay, no biggie. He asked a different waiter and he said that they did not have but they have fresh avocados and they would slice one up and put it in bread. The bread was overly toasted and tasted burnt! The chicken and waffles... is making me nauseous even thinking about it. The more time that went on, the more oil that kept leaking out from the chicken. I asked for my turkey bacon to be well done and it was just as flooded in oil. My coffee tasted sour and days old. We barely touched our food and knew it was time to go. The customer service is also lacking. If you see we just arrived and left without even eating, how about ask your customers if everything was fine. Also, in addition to training your staff, please get new plates... those plates are dirty, old and cracking.

The diner might be closed. The parking lot is blocked off and the staircase is blocked off the lights are off and no one answered the phone.

Stopped in for dinner.Ordered chicken noodle soup and a cheeseburger, medium rare with Hennessy Sauce and French Fries. The chicken noodle soup had to be home made with all the chicken that was in it. My burger was medium rare liked I asked. The Hennessy Sauce was delicious. The waiter and bus boy kept filling up my water glass continuously. My Diet Coke was replenished more than once. Good food. Good service. pleasant people. What more do you want in a diner? A Yelper complained about the decor. It 's a diner genius. SME New Rochelle
