    Tina's Place has always been constant in the neighborhood, good comfort diner food -- you can't go wrong with anything you choose here. I always order way too much...! Sometimes I order a corner muffin to go, but not this time.

    A great place for an American breakfast. A little family run business which has been in Bushwick for the last 50 years. The place is quite busy but service is very fast and efficient. Prices are very cheap, they have great breakfast Menus. They have a very big variety of omelets, pancakes, waffles and awesome fresh orange juice. The place is simple but has a great vibe, the perfect place to fill up your batteries before you head out. Will definitely come back when I am in the neighborhood!

    Just left here for a quick and easy Sunday brunch. Don’t listen to the weird reviews; this is a very solid spot. Not a Bedford Ave, line-out-the-door-for-a-waffle-photo place. Just a great neighborhood diner that is truly and honestly retro in everything from the wood paneling to the $11.50 breakfast. It’s lovely.
