Reviews for Austin House Diner in Flushing, NY
Great hot breakfast, coffee was good ????.
This diner is so dirty. I came in right after it just opened in the morning. After I sat down I noticed the floor was filthy as... there were gum wrappers and straw papers and little pieces of napkin everywhere. Definitely from the day before or even daysssbefore. The floor had streaks of dirt throughout. I started noticing this minutes after I ordered and felt bad as the nicewaitress had already served us water and set the table. Otherwise I would have left. I went to the bathroom and it smelled likerank urine. I ate my overpriced two egg breakfast special priced at almost 10 bucks which you can get at any other diner for$5-6. The food wasn’t great. The home fries had no flavor and were cold. Our bagel came out burnt. I mean how can you get abagel wrong and a plan bagel was $5. Overall place sucked hard. The waitress was attentive and nice. But what is up with theowners. Have some pride. Clean up the place. Take away the filthy chairs in the entrance. Get some windex and clean the windows.I don’t leave bad reviews but this is a wake up call to the absent ownership. Read more
I've read a lot of bad reviews for this place but that was after I stopped in for dinner. The interior of this place is... definitely dated and in need of a renovation. Old diners like this are either cool and retro or not so cool and kind of dirty.This one had a dirty vibe. (The bathroom is gross) The salt and pepper shaker on my table looked like it hadn't been cleanedsince the 70s. My server was fine, but she was not the friendliest person. She spoke very little ... just took my order anddisappeared for a good half hour. Ironically she was the one that told me the place closes at 7:30 when I walked in at 6:30. Ithought — who cares, I have plenty of time. Little did I know my order wasn't going to come out for 30 minutes! It felt like Iwas sitting there forever. I finished my water and then asked for a drink when she finally came back 30 minutes later. The dinerwas NOT busy. Maybe 3 other tables had guests. I ordered comfort food — chopped steak with mashed potatoes and corn. It was alarge portion and it was good. The mashed potatoes and gravy had an odd color but everything was tasty. It was the vibe of theplace that put me off. A man came in at one point with the food that he had picked up earlier, screaming about how it wasundercooked. The owner took the food out of the container and handed it back to the cook. I'm not even sure what it was. It wasjust so off putting, especially NOW after reading so many reviews about that kind of thing. I worried later, about whether Iwould have a stomach ache "later" and I did not. So overall, my food was very good, the service and atmosphere was odd. Iwouldn't go back as I would try somewhere else on Austin Street ... and there were tons of places! Read more
Definitely will not be back. The food is not that great. I ordered scrabble eggs, but they were the powder ones. Not... delicious at all. The place is not that cozy and the food well you can have a better breakfast at home. Read more

The food was decent, as well as the service, but they could clean more. I ate outside with my kids and needed a high chair which... I had to wipe down because their were things crusted on it. I wiped the chairs and tabletop just in case. Good thing for travelClorox wipes! Read more
I came here for breakfast. I ordered two hard boiled eggs with toast and homefries. It took the staff 30 minutes to bring our... breakfast, and my hard boiled eggs were freezing cold and the home fries were missing from my plate. I told the server and shebrought the homefries that were actually boiled potatoes with skin still intact. She brought the eggs that were just boiledagain, the yolk was half-way gray. After all that the glass of water looked pretty dirty /old. They should try to have ediblefood and clean utensils. The best thing I had there today was the toast with jelly. Read more
Clean place, great service, the food was alright, great coffee and the best lemon meringue pie. My mom got a cherry pie that she... didn’t like and they exchanged it for her at no additional cost. Read more
