2026: Queens Voted Court Square Diner Best Cheap Eats!

Court Square Diner still understands the old cheap-eats equation: keep the doors open, keep the bakery working, and give people enough range to come back twice in one day. The diner has been serving customers since 1946, has had only three ownerships, and has been run by Steve and Nick since 1991. Today, the kitchen still bakes on premises and runs 24-hour delivery seven days a week. The menu keeps value visible: two eggs any style are $7.45, oatmeal is $4.95, a fresh roasted turkey sandwich is $11.95, and the basic burger starts at $8.95. The renovated retro room still feels like a diner, not cosplay. Order off the daily specials board.
