We live in the Bronx and the Fountain Diner is a distance away, but worth the travel. Before the Pandemic madness we went more often. Somehow, we didnt get back there for a long time. Glad we finally got an opportunity to make the trip last week. We had a wonderful time, as I treated my husband to a breakfast date...just us two!The fountain Diner makes the best waffles ever! Cooked just right! The chef knows exactly what he is doing in that kitchen! We had our waffles topped generously with fresh strawberries and real whipped cream! They came accompanied with delicious sausage and bacon, coffee and a nice ice-cold glass of milk. You can truly find happiness in their cooking and the menu. The service is friendly, warm and wonderful. We ate outside where they have such lovely flowers and umbrellas over the tables. Highly recommended if you like great food and an easy laid back dining experience.
Great food and customer service. First time going and will be back next time.
Food has been good! I gave a 1star because I dont like when I get unexplained items in my food. Makes me wonder about the sanitary conditions behind the scenes!
Food was timely and delicious. Prices are a little on the high side. I ordered 2 eggs, bacon, toast and my sister ordered 1 egg, sausage toast, orange juice, and coffee. The bill including tip came to $35.
Good service. Delicious food. Owner is very nice.
The most most dirty steak that I have seen in my life, very expensive burning outside and almost crude inside a lot of fat tissue. So nasty.The personal working are very polite and bathroom very clean
This place is incredibly clean and the food is excellent. I had Eggs Benedict which were amazingly good, and my spouse had banana/strawberry pancakes which were some of the best pancakes she had ever had. They were light and fluffy.The waitstaff there was friendly, and we had a great meal. I would go back any time I am in the area.
The best diner left In Westchester . I cant believe it always taste better every time I go here . Love this place when it comes to home style dinners and sandwiches
Great food, great service.. highly recommend.
Breakfast was good. Service was ok. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Things look to be kept sanitized and clean.
We came from Connecticut stop here better than I hop the service the best friendly servers I love it
Great service, good food. Must wear mask except when eating. Its very clean.
My go to late breakfast place. Covid19 guidelines followed with spacing between diners. Attentive staff.Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I only go late morning, and order wheat toast, sausage, coffee (consistently) so I couldnt judge the entire menu
Excellent GF menu prepared properly for celiac.
One of the most expensive diners in westchester... service mediocre at best.. aside from that food really good and a clean safe place to eat with your family
A little pricy, but good food and service.
Plenty of Gluten free choices and I was served by a down to earth waitress named Andrea. Shes amazing ❤
My family tends to go here a lot. I love how everybody’s kind and if they mess up you’re order their not rude and will remake it. Their was a problem where a manger (male with brown hair) at least I think he was, hung up on one of my family members while she was in the middle of ordering. I order a hot dog with French Fries with a side of bacon, they have never messed up that order in my 5 years of going here
This is my favorite diner ever! I have been coming here for years and I always get the Buffalo chicken wrap. It is amazing and I love how friendly the staff is! 10/10 love this place. I came the first day they re opened from closing due to COVID and I was REALLY impressed about the safety measures they are taking for their staff and customers!! Best place Ive seen so far that does that much to Entail safety.
Great food, fast service. Our waitress was amazing.
Great food! Our server Andrea was wonderful! The best part was the diner observed social distancing and masks must be worn to enter .
Great new york grilled chicken sandwich 🥪
Awesome Diner with great food and svce.The owner Sal and his staff are always helpful. Very clean and great atmosphere.They serve some of the best homemade pancakes, especially the jumbo Blueberry.Ive been frequenting the Diner since the great cruising days of the 1980s. Up and down Central Avenue with freestyle music playing and hanging out in the parking lots until the cops kicked u out .Thank you for still serving great food.
Its a never miss for breakfast lunch and dinner. Love those super nice waitress ladies been going for years.
Great service and food. Spotless inside. Long standing customer and very happy that they returned. Outside landscaping is first class and very inviting .
Great experience. We were able to sit outside and eat comfortably. We had to wait because were waiting tobhead back to the pet cemetery. 1st time at this diner and I will try and go back. The food was delicious. Took pics.
Delicious breakfastGreat serviceSuper clean
Awesome food, nice stuff
Great Hallah french toast and sausages very tasty. Have only had breakfast there but everything looks good.
Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Whenever Im up in that part of the woods I go there for breakfast or lunch. Waitresses are very friendly the place is immaculate and the food is always perfect.
We always stop here when we are in the area. Fantastic burgers, fries, and onion rings. Friendly, home town service.
The food here is delicious. I had the Florentine omelette and asked for the home fries well done. They cooked them perfectly as requested. Their breakfast sausage was amazing. My husband also ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and onion and it was so good. The service was very quick even on a busy Saturday morning. Our waitress was lovely and she did not miss a thing even though we made a few very specific requests. A truly great diner.
My favorite diner they treat us like family every time we go
Loved and adored the diner and usually a 5 star but last night was a totally disastrous experience. Arrived at 9pm, took our order and 35 minutes later the not well prepared food came out with apologies of having only 1 cook. We were never given the choice to wait patiently or to look at other options. There was no attempt of courtesy to keep us informed We were ignored while the staff were chatting happily and playing with their phones. The manager didnt have the common sense to perform a standard customer service tactic: such as approach and diffuse(pacify). Instead she retorted that she wouldnt advertise there was only one cook. Would you rather tell us and give us the choice or have a definite fiasco?A server tried to take a plate away from one diner while she was still eating the bacon. One diner refused to eat in a rush (they close at 10), another diner couldnt eat the dried up omelette fast and actually got sick in the car, and the third unhappily ate the burger driven by hunger. Even if the food was mostly uneaten; even untouched,, we still paid the check in full. Upper management really needs to reassess the competence of the evening staff primarily the manager. Employees take their cue form their supervisor. It will take some time for us to get over this and return.
On the northern part of Central Avenue, still lies an old school diner that has been here for many years. The food is pretty good. It is owned by two Italian brothers and they have done a great job to keep the standard of food very high. The service is always adequate. It gets real busy. There is good parking. I visit here often. My mother and aunt love it. It is not cheap either. You can enjoy a good meal. Great burgers. Quality size portions with everything. Good soups and love the deserts. Try it!!
The diner serves a wide variety of food, enough to satisfy all palates. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable, and the service is good. The interior is somewhat dated, but who goes to the diner for ambiance? There is plenty of free parking, and the location is easy to find and get to.
Food was good prices were extreme for a Diner
Food was good.Reccomend it
This is the only diner Ive been to in Westchester County that has Gluten Free options--and a fair amount of them. Always friendly, attentive, and clean. Good coffee, also offering espresso and cappuccino. It doesnt get any better than that! Thank you, Fountain owner and staff!
Ive traveled all over the U.S. for work and finally found my favorite diner. The chicken fingers are amazing and the wraps are filled to fill your belly! I loved it.
Cozy dinner no waiting time. Affordable prices
Always loved this place. Typical diner with above average food. If a good meal and fast service is what youre looking for, this is it.
I love this place! I feel like Im eating in a small village in the country. The food is excellent and the staff are amazing! Love, love, love!
This diner is a diner. The employees are very attentive and service is fast. They basically know every item on the menu, which has a lot of options to choose from. Food is delicious. Highly recommend.
It was great. The waitress was pleasant and even gave me water with my juice. That was a 1st as many times that I have gone there before.The food was delicious.
As diners go, the Fountain is a solid contender, and has been for many years. Always busy, the service is efficient, if not exactly warm and cozy. The food is pretty much what youd expect, except fresher and less greasy than many others. The menu is kind of ridiculous. Who would order Mexican-style dishes in a Greek diner? But if you stick with the basics, you wont go wrong.
Such a great place. The servers were so kind and they actually got along well with each other. The food was amazing!! I got the chocolate chip pancakes and by far they were the best pancakes Ive ever had. My boyfriend had gotten the buffalo chicken sandwich and he was beyond happy with it! Definitely will be going back and bringing all my friends back!
Their breakfast variety is very ideal! Im very glad I came here not knowing it was a restaurant. The interior design is lovely and genuinely simple.
Extensive menu. Great burgers, fries & shakes.. Greek specialties..serves alcohol. Fast, friendly service. Beautiful pastries.
The Fountain Diner is one of the best. Today I got the Nutella Pancakes with Bananas. The food is amazing and the wait staff is great. I go there once and a while when I’m in the mood for breakfast.
Great menu to choose favorites or random dishes. Desserts freshly made! Must try when in Hartsdale. You wont be disappointed!
Great service and food was delicious and i didnt wait long to get seated or served
Best diner around! Great food and service. I wish Westchester County could have more diners like the Fountain. All of the food is amazing from Eggs to Tacos. I love the Fountain Diner and suggest it for all people looking to get a good meal. Always hits the spot. True five star!
Loved itLove AndreaSee ya soonBrittany n Dominick
A very friendly atmosphere. They make u feel like family. My mom brings everyone there 4 breakfast or 4 lunch. I love the food.
Good diner food. Can be crowded and not good for larger groups. Parking is great. Prices are fair.
Has look of typical good old American diner. Good food and very hospitable servers. Great big parking spaces in the back and quaint indoor atmosphere. Not expensive but good quality foods.
Had a very good experience here with my wife. The food arrived rapidly and the customer service is just great. Prices are reasonable.
This place never fails me! Went for dinner with my two children. This place has many memories. We celebrate all here. Even though I no longer reside in Westchester county ...I always come back.
Food brewery good. Busboy was great. Really took pride in the job he was doing. Pleasant staff. Really enjoyed!
Great little diner spot. Staff are friendly and attentive. Great options different than other diners in the nearby area. A great spot to stop in at any time of day for a meal. Love that they offer more Mexican styled meals than your average diner menu.
Good food. Great service. Friendly helpful and attentive staff. They allie service pets making it a favorite place if mine whenever Im in town. They welcome singles. Love their omelets.
Great
Food is good. Service is good! Smells a little funny!
Always good food and friendly service! One of the best diners in the area.
Went to the diner with my 2 year old son and a friend of mine and we had a lovely experience. The staff was welcoming, communicated very well with us and made sure we were doing fine. One waitress even came over and gave my sons paper and crayons which he absolutely loved! I felt like this diner is big on making customers feel like family when they dine at the fountain diner. The food was good too as always! My friend fell in love with the nutella French toast with banana inside. And I was very happy with my short stack of two buttermilk pancakes and a side of ham :) my son lived the kids ravioli! Ate almost all 4!!!!! All in all I will be going back :)
If I could rate this place a zero I would. The service is horrible. There was nobody in the resturant all help talking to themselves. I could of made my food myself and been done quicker. The service is bad and the food is just as bad as the service.I will never go back
Just realized been going here since I first moved to the area 20 yrs ago. So they must be doing something right. The food is constantly good the staff are friendly and attentive. The menu is great, always something good to eat no matter what your feeling like.
Great quality in food. Nice service. Ample parking.
GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE WITH FAIR PRICES.
We waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served and didnt actually receive it until I got up to ask the hostess about it. When it arrived at our table, all three of our meals were cold.
The service was great our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Its a bit overpriced but that could be because were from upstate. The food was pretty good but the selection was slim compared to other diners. Maybe because its small.
First time there. Great service from moment we entered until we left. Great food! What all diners should be like.
A little tight in the seating dept but food was good coffee was very good and the service was excellent
Had a wonderfully yummy breakfast with the grands here. Warm and attentive wait staff and patience with the little people. Worth a repeat when time permits!
We went for breakfast and everything was delicious! Service was nice and quick. Well be back!
Food is diner food. Prices are high for what you get. Portions are good. Service is just ok but it is still a decent place to go. Waitstaff is pleasant..
We really like this diner. The food is always good. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you will walk out satisfied. You need to try the Pilgrim Panini. Its the best.
Love this place for comfort food...grilled cheese, eggs, pancakes, etc. One of the best burgers in Westchester. Call before you go if during the week after 9pm. Sometimes they close early if its quiet.
Nice diner, with friendly service
Small for a diner thats so centrally located. Higher prices too. But, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the food has never been bad!
First time there. Very nice people. Service was great. Will go there again.
The best service and every fish made to your special culinary tastes. Patty Ronnie robin the amazing bus boys that create the best cappuccinos, this is truly my favorite diner in Westchester. Sal is a great owner and always makes us feel special. This talk show host author and magazine editor rate fountain diner tops
Love the pancakes 🥞
Food was great. Service was fantastic and very clean.
Great diner! Never had a bad meal there. Just be sure to dress warmly, the AC is usually cranked pretty high.
Good food, friendly service and reasonable prices
Really sad, went there last night reguardless of her being slow I left my waitress a generous tip, when going up to the counter to pay they asked me if I wanted to tip on my car, I declined because I had already left cash out for her. My bill was 62.09, when I went and looked at my bank account this morning they had taken out 70.00. It isnt a big difference but that isnt the point, the point is I told them I had already tipped and they went ahead and put a tip on my card when I said not to. That is called stealing from your customers. I advise everyone who goes here to carefully look at your bank account and receipt after paying with a card. Never coming back there
Had the Grilled Ham and Cheese. It was a little salty.Fries and Cole slaw was very good. I would definitely go back!
One of my new favorite places to go where the booths are nice and roomy and the hospitality is quaint. Love the Food!!
