Riverdale Luncheonette

Very charming, classic luncheonette. Breakfast was great. It was a bit cold inside, but it is February. Would choose this over fast food breakfast any day of the week!

Stopped in for lunch on our way to Adirondacks and felt immediately welcomed (even though we arrived 20 min before closing). My husband had a western egg sandwich and the homemade corned beef hash, which was exceptional. I had a tuna sandwich and while it’s hard to get excited about tuna fish, it was a perfect sandwich. This is the type of neighborhood place that every town had at one point - a place where people met to eat, share the news of the day, connect - and of which there are too few today. A real gem.

Exactly what I was hoping it was. Perfect portions, good prices. Simple and quality diner/luncheon food. I sat at the well loved counter, and was served a lovely dish of ham, eggs and home fries by a lovely lady who I believe was the namesake of the joint. It seems like a very regular and dedicated crowd. Wish more diners were like Karen's.

Really classic old school diner, great ham and cheese omlette

What a delightful gem. Clean, but obviously worn with age. The ladies who were working there were very friendly. My test of a good diner is the Rueben: theirs was delicious and the bread was not a bit soggy! Perfect place to stop on my journey.
