This diner is fantastic and always open! I've never ordered anything here that I didn't enjoy. Sure, it's a diner, so I don't expect a fine dining experience, but it doesn't matter what time I walk in—whether it's 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning—the food is consistently fresh, and the service is always good. My favorite order is challah French toast and bacon at 2 in the morning; it's always delicious. The bur... View all feedback.

I got to my doctor 's appointment too early and needed some food in my tummy. Thankfully I googled breakfast near me I was able to park at my doctor 's office and walk 2 minutes to the diner. I didn 't add pics because I was very hungry but the coffee was on point I ordered scrambled eggs with cheddar home fries bacon and a waffle and I was not disappointed. I don 't tend to eat out alot because I hate wasting money on bad food when I know how to cook very well myself but I definitely did not mind paying $27 plus a tip to this diner. And the service was quick and so pleasant. I definitely enjoyed my time here and highly recommend them. Thank you so much to the staff at Emphasis. Much success to you all.

Soups are amazing. Coffee is delicious. Grilled chicken sandwich on a roll with melted Swiss, lettuce, and tomato. What more can I say. Real food. Homemade soup. Emphasis Diner. Well done!

Went for lunch after an appointment at the doctor's. Family run restaurant serving Greek-American dishes. The staff was very friendly, especially the hostess, which is the matriarch of the family. The menu has a lot of choices!

**Emphasis Diner: A Neighborhood Gem** Emphasis Diner is a beloved spot renowned for its delicious breakfasts, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Patrons rave about the outstanding waffles, pancakes, and homemade soups, which exemplify the diner’s commitment to real, hearty food. While the decor may be standard, the genuine hospitality from the staff stands out, creating a family-friendly dining experience. Though a few patrons have reported minor concerns, such as slightly undercooked dishes and restroom conditions, the consistent quality and fair prices make Emphasis a must-visit for locals and newcomers alike. Open 24/7, it's a true treasure in the community.

I visited this traditional Greek diner after a follow-up appointment at the doctor’s office in Bay Ridge. It's just a block away and conveniently located near the R train. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. This family-owned establishment has been serving the community for many years. Mána, the delightful hostess and matriarch of the family, was particularly charming; she even took the time to teach me a few words in Greek!

I took a bus from Brooklyn to visit the restaurant. The staff greeted us warmly, and there were refreshments available. We also received a boxed lunch, along with some complimentary slot play! Overall, I would rate the food 4 out of 5.

This restaurant consistently serves delicious meals, and the staff and owners are wonderful. It's open 24 hours, always clean, and offers fair prices for high-quality food. It's truly one of the last remaining Greek diners.

Best pineapple pancakes I've had yet. Breakfast options here are amazing and very filling. Everything from oatmeal to bacon is available. Fresh orange juice is there almost all the time. I like this place in part due to friendly staff as well. Only downside is its not cheap. Costs almost 13 dollars for a breakfast option along with juice glass separately.

I could go on and on; everything here is good!

Fantastic breakfast and a diverse menu! My boyfriend and I absolutely love the breakfast options at Emphasis, and the staff is consistently friendly. Although there are some diners closer to our home, we always opt for Emphasis because their breakfasts are outstanding. When my parents came to visit, they were eager to return to Emphasis after enjoying it so much.

Today was one of the best diner experiences I've ever had in New York City, and I've had my fair share. The Village Salad is like a Greek salad, but without the lettuce, and honestly, what could be better? This one was large, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and skilled, and the welcome we received was incredibly warm. Even the coffee stood out as exceptional. Overall, this place really goes the extra mile.

Standard diner, nothing particularly notable about the anesthetics or decor run of the mill in that regard. The staff and owners are what stand out at this establishment. Went there with my two kids and they enjoyed the staff's especially our waitress's hospitality and attention. The family feel of whole experience prompted me to order a vanilla egg cream which I had not had in about 30 years. The one area I would ask management to address is the spartan condition of the restrooms. Pretty minor considering the other factors that make this a great go to place in Bay Ridge.
