Came for brunch, couldn’t decide what to order. Our server, Martin, was super helpful making the decision with me. We landed on the steak & eggs with fries on the side. For the price and taste, it was so worth it!

Visited A Fantastic Diner Restaurant transformed by Gordon Ramsey’s TV Show-Kitchen Nightmare! Absolute fantastic place and seeing the changes are real. Order Fish & Chips they are 100% awesome!!!!! Love this place and will visit here again.

Really nice place with great food and fair prices. The menu is quite big so you will definitely find something nice for yourself. I had egg Benedict which was great.

What a place! I’d done a bit of research on this place and always wanted to go so in our last day on our trip to NYC we did. What a quaint setting and you go back in time as you walk through the doors! It has a great history too. The staff were great and the service was excellent. Originally, we only went there for coffee but when we keep seeing all the amazing food coming out, we asked for a food menu. There was so much to choose from and the food lived up to are expectations. Prices were also good too, a noticeable difference from Manhattan. We would recommend taking a small trip out to this place and it’s only 25 mins away by subway inc walking. It was worth the trip for us and finished off a perfect trip to NYC!

This is a really nice classic diner with an immense selection of food on the menu which can be a little intimidating. The menu spans from regular breakfast items eggs and home fries, to a standard lunch menu with sandwiches and burgers, all the way to fresh lobster (they have a live lobster tank by the entrance). There was only about a 10 minute wait on a Sunday morning for breakfast and the service was prompt and friendly. The food was also really good. The only downside was that the floors weren't very clean and the bathrooms were kinda gross to be honest. I'll still come back for breakfast on the weekends though. Just hope they pay more attention to regularly cleaning the bathrooms.

I am impressed with the service and the quality of the food that the shop provided here. Not to mention the portion size is generous!! My friend recommended this American diner and we both enjoyed our brunch together. I had a great experience and would highly recommend it if you ever around Broadway in Queens. You will love this place like I do. Our server's name is Fausto Martin G. Thanks for your excellent service!! We will be coming back!!!

Last week, I visited this place for breakfast after its remodel following the appearance on Kitchen Nightmares! The owners were incredibly welcoming, and I indulged in the Eggs Benedict served alongside crispy home fries, complemented by delightful muffin bites. The combination of fantastic prices and delicious food makes this spot absolutely worth a return visit, in my opinion.

I just ordered Thanksgiving dinner and even though an item was forgotten , I called up and they rushed it right over to me and I live far .The woman who answers the phone is amazing and so friendly and helpful. She is also kind . They are super busy today on Thanksgiving, but still wanted to make sure my holiday was great! I totally appreciate it and I work in Restaurants my whole life so I appreciate it even more so . I felt very badly as I did not have any more cash to give the second delivery man , and I called to thank and explain that to the kind lady . I will make it up , as I know how important it is to recognize people who work so hard for their money . I , too work very hard for my money . The food is delicious and fresh from the Cream of Turkey Soup all the way to the Pumpkin Pie ! I am loving all of it ! Thank you so much Bel Air Diner you are fantastic with delicious food and amazing service! The second delivery man was also so kind and gracious , just as the first one , he thanked me and did not even expect a second tip ! Bravo to the way you train your staff ! Thanks again Robyn

The cheese burger and waffle French fries are a tremendous choice. I love the onion rings and strawberry cheesecake. I also took an order of coffee to go and it was the best I ever consumed. Nice simple menu with fresh and delicious recipes. Very clean and sanitary. The restrooms had plenty of hot water and soap. Attend!!!!

I've eaten here twice, once for dinner, and celebrated my birthday dinner here. Food is great, services excellent. It is what a dinner is supposed to be, good food and good fun. I also saw the episode of Bel-Air Diner on, "Kitchen Nightmares". I hope everyone remembers that a lot of these reality shows are scripted. None of these reality shows are real. Take a moment to think. Who would expose their business in this way, and so badly? No one. People need to realize that. As well, the New York City Health Department is most strict regarding restaurant inspections. Had that been the case, such as on, "Kitchen Nightmares", the health department would have shut them down completely, until all was remedied that was seen on that show. I'm going to go eat there again, and I hope I have as pleasant a time as I had the previous two times I've dined there.

This diner has so much character with its retro style. Parking is a plus! Our server Fausto was really attentive and super friendly. Home fries taste fresh and portion sizes are large. We’re definitely coming back!

We always enjoy coming to the Bel Aire Diner. The service is always great and the staff is so friendly. Cetti was our waitress on our last visit. She was very attentive and made us laugh! Love her 🥰 can’t wait to come back 🥳✨

Very good the 1st time I went. They have an extensive menu so I think it requires going back and trying even more options to get a fuller picture of how good they are. However, the homemade mozzarella sticks and the tator tots (my comfort food) was AWESOME! 😎👍🏼❤️ I will be seeing them again in the future for sure.

Last Month hired Belaire to cater my Daugther’s 1st Birthday party. Got so many great compliments from our family and friends. All my favorites in huge trays. I was in heaven , the Penne a la Vodka was on point. My only disappointment was there wasn’t a lot of food left over to save for the week. Everyone took a plate home with them.
