Reviews summary

Steeped in 1930s charm, this classic Peekskill diner delivers generous, freshly made comfort food at wallet‑friendly prices with quick, friendly service from long‑tenured staff. Hearty portions, standout fries and homemade chili make it a favorite for breakfast or a casual meal before local hikes and markets. The cozy, old‑fashioned atmosphere is pleasant but seating is limited. Note: cash only and occasional inconsistency reported; mobile/online ordering has caused problems for some patrons.

Was Dimitri Halvorson at Center Diner a mag?

Our waitress was exceptionally courteous and professional, and the food was outstanding (the fries were some of the best I've ever had). The prices are quite reasonable as well. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and eat! View all feedback.

What Mern Dab dislikes about Center Diner:

These folks should try to use their menu acquisition on an iPhone. It’s impossible. Lost my sale because the link for the restaurant menu and/or food menu takes me to Canada. Seriously wrong in this day and age. View all feedback.

A good place with great prices. Only cash and personal attentive service. I had the chicken orzo soup that was really, really good and the Italian sausage pfeffer sandwich special that was also not bad. A great place. Edit: are here a few times. The open turkey sandwich was great.

Historical, deliscous and inexpensive. A fat spoon, but make sure you have time. Great coffee and some great people. Not the whole service is perfect, but Anna and Jizelle(?sp) are really good.

Great food! Typical diner prices, but it's worth it. Very cozy. Old Fashioned Auto Diner feel. Comfortable parking on the same and side streets. Friendly staff! Definitely recommended. In addition, if you go on weekends around lunchtime, you will have the opportunity to find something cool on Farmer's Market (Saturday, 2 a.m. and Street Market (Sunday, 4 p.m.) Great place for a beautiful family dinner, with friends or important others! Have fun.

Food is served in large servings, very classic diner portions. The food is fresh and wait staff knew the menu better than the menu itself. I would recommend this place to everyone and I'll be going here everytime I'm in Peekskill. I stopped here with 4 other people before a hike at blue mountain and we all paid about $10 for a feast. Great place, great food, little seating.

It's not so cozy and beautiful outside inside but service is quick, food is good, sizes of dishes are huge very reasonable prices. I will definitely recommend this place for lunch or quick dinner.

Friendly service and the food was good. The name would imply that they had a wide variety of burgers, but they don't. The burger was good though.

It's ok, a local diner that was on point with service, food and prices. Just finished a hot 9 mile trek up Breakneck Ridge South Beacon and wanted to find a place on the way back to NyC that was away from the crowds near Beacon. Had some burgers drinks and the server was nice enough to bring us water for the dog while we sat outside. The burger was just the right amount of greasy and the fries....very well done. Some places make limp fries so I appreciate fries done right even when they're not steak fries.

We had excellent food and two great and amazing servers. Kevin is very hospitable and made our first-time experience very pleasant. Today, we had Alex. He did the same. Alex corrected a mistake without even asking. The food is delicious also.

The restaurant offers a great variety of consistently delicious dishes. The staff is friendly, and the cozy atmosphere creates a comfortable vibe, as the space isn’t too large. Parking is conveniently located across the street.
