Pete's Donut Shop - Bronx, New York

A great place for diner food!

The breakfast was great and the donuts are a must. The service was excellent. I liked how the cooks are behind the counter - you can see the action!

Would recommend!

This breakfast spot is consistently good!! Nothing fancy here, it gives local diner vibes! Solid food, reasonably priced. Fast, friendly service. Def would recommend! You can usually easily find paid or free street parking in the area.

The old school vibes had me worried about trying this place, but I'm glad I did. It actually added charm and the servers are very polite. They're super quick and the food is really good & so is the Coffee. You can see the grill and cooks as you walk in, so the whole place had that smell of breakfast and you feel like you've walked back intime and glad a place like this is still around. Prices are reasonable. The portion sizes could be larger. Getting the waffle with a side of bacon & I didn't feel full. Perhaps adding a combo that comes with potatoes or eggs would fix that as they had this combo option with pancakes but not Waffles.

Ignored - I’ve been wanting to stop in to pick up some of their classic doughnuts for a while now. Walked in intending to buy a dozen doughnuts and stood at the doughnut counter for 5 minutes. I was asked if I wanted to sit down and I said “No, thank you. I’m hear to get doughnuts.”

The person, who I assume was the owner, went back to standing behind the line jawing at this staff while the cashier was busy filling a phone order and taking more phone calls.

After 5 minutes of patiently waiting, an older woman rushed in, cut in front of me, and began barking a bagel order to the owner. He quickly rushed to the counter to fill her request.

I had to walk out.

This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been ignored because I don’t look a certain way. However, this was particularly hurtful because it happened in my neighborhood and at a place I was looking forward to supporting.

As a regular customer and neighbor in the area, I’ve always enjoyed Pete’s Diner and the food they serve. However, I’ve noticed some issues with pricing consistency. Every time I order my usual, the price seems to change. For instance, a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich with two slices of cheese and double eggs (because they usually only include one egg) costs $9 one day, but last week, I was charged $6.50 for the same order. Similarly, when I’ve ordered waffles, eggs, home fries, and bacon, it’s sometimes $23 and other times $20 for the exact same platter. On top of that, the prices are quite high overall.

This inconsistency is frustrating, and it’s one of the main reasons I refrain from visiting the restaurant as often as I’d like. I really try to avoid going in because every time I do, I know I’m likely to be charged a different price for the same items.

I don't usually review but Pete's warrants it. Neighborhood staple for a very long time. Always the same quality always the same service. And in the warmer months there's even outdoor dining

Old fashioned, good food although my bacon was a bit burnt this time. Thus place has been here for a loooong time. The vibe is 1970's. If you're into that kind of thing. They keep the prices reasonable. And the service is okay too.

Dope spot. Would go more frequently if I still stayed in the area! Delicious food. Wait staff is super awesome también
