Pearl Street Diner: The Pulse of Downtown Albany’s Comfort Food Scene
Welcome back to @SimplyZakkai! Today, we’re diving into the one and only Albany staple: Pearl Street Diner! ️
Serving the community since 2010 (and formerly known as the Ten Eyck Cafe), this spot is a true local treasure. Here’s a look at the incredible spread I tackled today:
Grilled Chicken Bacon Cheddar Ranch Panini – Perfectly pressed and packed with flavor.
Monte Cristo DLX – The ultimate sweet and savory powerhouse.
Belgian Waffle Combo – Fluffy goodness served with crispy bacon, savory sausage, and eggs.
Sfogliatelle – A flaky, authentic pastry finish that you cannot miss!
Every single dish was truly amazing. For the full breakdown and live reactions, make sure you head over to my video @SimplyZakkai to see the official ratings! ✨
The Verdict:
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
✨ Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Total: 5/5 Stars!
Do yourself a favor and check out Pearl Street Diner—and make sure to tell them SimplyZakkai sent you!
I also want to give a massive shoutout to the owners, Lucia and Tony. They are some of the most outstanding people I’ve met! We had such deep, thoughtful conversations, and even during the heat of a busy lunch rush, the time and attentiveness they give to every single customer is world-class. ❤️
This is more than just a meal; it’s a diner where every bite tells a story!

Have had my eye on pearl st diner for a minute now and finally got to try it. I really enjoyed their egg sandwich with sausage on a hard roll and coffee. My partner went for their gyro special, which actually surprised me with how good it was. Solid diner experience, and the food came out super quick!

5 stars across the board!
We came in as a group of six with just 45 minutes before our connecting train to Montreal — and for a minute, we actually thought we’d made it to Montreal already because the service was that good.
They seated us right away, laughed at our jokes (rare skill, 10/10), and somehow had our food out in about 10 minutes. It was hot, delicious, and exactly what we needed before sprinting back to the station.
Instead of panic-shoveling food and running, we actually got to sit, eat, and joke around like normal humans. For a brief moment, we forgot we were on a tight schedule — and that’s saying something when you’ve got Amtrak breathing down your neck.
Pearl Street Diner turned a stressful layover into a smooth snack time. If we’d missed the train, honestly… it would’ve been worth it

Pearl Street Diner is an authentic NY diner with 5 star service and extremely delicious food. I had a Chicken Mediterranean Flatbread wrap and fries and we tried onion rings that did not disappoint!

$20 for the tiniest breakfast burrito you’ve ever seen and a cup of coffee I was charged twice for.
Save your money
Edit – They replied. The burrito was mostly folded tortilla on the inside. I wouldn’t have asked for a to-go cup if I was going to be charged. I walked down the street and told 100 people I was waiting for a concert with not to go and spend any money at this diner. Their customer service is indicative of their response.
You can keep the $17 – it was worth $10.

As a Diner Enthusiast, I always enjoy finding a diner situated within city streets. Within this diner exists an extensive breakfast and lunch menu owned and operated by a charismatic husband and wife; Tony and Lucia. Capturing the nostalgia of old school diners while maintaining the modernity of a 21st restaurant, it’s a unique blend. I could talk to them all day. On top of this, the food was delicious and the coffee smooth. I will be returning!

Decent food for a diner and great service. I went here for breakfast a few times and the server recognized us after the second visit. Nothing really special for food, but it’s fast and inexpensive. Coffee is hot and omletes are full of good ingredients. Worth a visit if you’re downtown and want breakfast other than a deli or bakery.
