Irish breakfast is basically english breakfast !! Proper sausages and bacon and hienz bake beans !!! Amazing!!!
Awesome breakfast ! Great value for money & tastes like heaven. For Deluxe Combo you'll get coffee , juice , 2 eggs , bacon , ham & a waffle (or pancakes , but I reccommend the waffle ) & all that for 10.75$
Such a lovely diner ! Extensive and inventive menu, delicious food, and truly kind and sweet staff . Looking forward to going again. (Also leave room for dessert ! The banana cream pie is phenomenal)
Honestly, the food is hit or miss, but I love that I can always rely on them to deliver after a long night of debauchery and drinking. That, alone, gets them all the stars they need.
During this unfortunate coronavirus, Bel Aire Diner is lifting the community’s spirits by having old school drive-in movies in the parking lot ; allowing entertainment & adhering to social distancing.
You’ve stumbled upon the home of some truly world-class mozzarella sticks and cheesecake .
The grilled cheesebis really good. Its a great late night spot . They have good service and the coffe is amazing.
The menu has become super overloaded and complicated, but the food is great and they are open all the time.
Popeye (spinach ) salad is huge and full of fresh ingredients . You don't need it but the grilled chicken option is great if looking for extra protein. Love the house dressing too.
☞ Jerry Seinfeld popped in for coffee with Howard Stern who had hot water and a brownie that he ate with a fork like a snob, and whined about being fat.
The cookies and cream milkshake is a must no matter what time of the day!
Try the caprese omelet with salad instead of potatoes . Very good. Side order unbuttered whole wheat toast with orange marmalade .
Awesome food and service! Best diner around. Been coming here since I was a little girl!
The place you can trust. Every time. It should franchise around the world ???? Amen.

Grilled cheese during the early AM hours after a late night is perfect. Especially when I live across the street
Best diner in the area, hands-down. Give the over-played Neptune a skip & come here for great food & service.

The eggs benedict is bland and too runny but the grilled cheese with tomato or the chicken ceaser wrap are both excellent

You won't be blown away or disappointed at this place. It's safe.
The Broadway Salad has to be my favorite salad on the planet! Add an almond horn ala mode = happy!
Best Dinner the service is great the food is yummy :-)
Every serving size here is huge. Salads are great. Burgers are good. Maybe only their sandwiches are on the downside for me.
Coolest diner ever! Be specific about how you like your food. Staff is cool :)
