The food was great! I went here for breakfast around 10am on a Sunday and they were pretty busy. We had no issues being seated. The waitress was very kind and patient. I purchased the avacado omelette and it was delicious. It came out fast and hot within about 15 minutes. The coffee wasn’t too strong, but it was good. This place has a great vibe to it. My family has been coming here for years, and they say the cheesecake is phenomenal here. Would highly recommend this diner.

The owner was very kind and welcoming, but the kitchen staff—particularly the chef—could benefit from additional training. My food was served cold, taken back to the kitchen, and returned reheated in a microwave, which significantly affected the quality. With proper food handling and preparation standards, this place has the potential to be much better.

We had an excellent breakfast passing through Monroe NY today at Empire Diner. Our server Susan was wonderful and the food delicious. Recommend you come out to enjoy the hot honey chicken pancake tacos and egg skillet over mini potato pancakes.

Stopped for a quick lunch and had very delicious meal. Their cream of broccoli soup was very good. We split a sausage sandwich. It came fully loaded. The fries were crisp and warm. The best part was the service. The waitress was very personal and friendly. We had some fun conversations with her. I recommend giving it a try.

My daughter has Celiac disease and diners that cater to her needs are difficult to find. Empire is great because they have a gluten free menu and they use gluten free cookers so there is no cross contamination. The food is great and my daughter loves having so many wonderful options (including GF cheese cake!!). They also have toys for kids to keep them busy and the staff is professional and very friendly. Highly Recommend!!

A wonderful dinner to go, and the food was amazing. Can’t wait to sit and dine with my family. The turkey dinner was awesome and it was so nice to satisfy my daughter’s breakfast craving for dinner. The food was great and we look forward to dining with Empire on many more occasions. Their online ordering service was easy to use and helped me tonight, especially after dental surgery! Thank you!

Empire Diner absolutely deserves all the stars! From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming — but the true highlight of our visit was Susan, our waitress. She is a superstar.
Susan remembered every single order at our table without writing anything down — and didn’t miss a beat. Not one swap, not one modification… nothing! I don’t know how she does it, but it was seriously impressive. On top of that, she kept us laughing the entire time. Her humor, personality, and timing were perfect. It honestly felt like we were being served by a stand-up comedian who also happens to be incredibly good at her job.
The food was delicious, the service was fast, and Susan made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re going to Empire Diner, ask for Susan — she’ll make your day!
Highly recommend this place.
