i do agree that the breakfast here is nothing fancy(you probably could make it at home) but it is CHEAP! you cannot compare it to the several«upscale» breakfast places(nosh, buttermilk), but we would go here again just for the convenience of not having to cook. the food is good but nothing special. it does seem a bit dirty though — however, if you’re looking for cheap breakfast, look no further!

Good was ok. I had a simple Cheddar cheese omelette. It was good. There was no butter on our toast. It was indeed a home in the wall but the staff was friendly. I will go back to try their Chilaquiles, though. Prices are fair. I read another review from a woman complaining that she wouldn’t go again because anything they make, she could make just as good. The point of eating at a restaurant is for the convenience of NOT having to cook…

Great service and their chiliquilies are great! I have eaten here a few times, & the food has always been good. Decent bisquits & gravy, & everything is prepared fresh.

A good solid diner. My wife and I stopped by at lunch time on a Sunday and both had club sandwiches. Good service and reasonable price.

Came here on a Sunday morning around 7AM: Pros: –Parking lot is deserted on early Sunday mornings, so don’t have to worry about parking! This isn’t downtown Chicago folks! Parking is plentiful and free! –Prices are cheap. –Serving size is generous. Cons: –Mexican omelet is REALLY spicy. I guess that’s not a con for people who like spicy food.

They serve breakfast anytime. Loved the skillets. We requested complimentary salsa requested they added jalapeños to the chriozo a skillet. Also I added a side of gravy to go on the skillets. Just the right kick. Very, very good.

Probably one of my favorite places for breakfast! I personally love the skillets here! HashBrowns cooked perfectly and everything perfectly put together! Conveniently located next to a grocery store so anything you request that they don’t have you can sometimes see someone slip out the door to go get it. Was always a huge fan of strawberry waffles with whip cream and can’t tell you how many times he would take my order and send someone to go get whip cream vs saying they are out. Fabulous owners and truly a strip mall gem for breakfast! Been a favorite of mine since high school!

One of my biggest pet peeves about breakfast is going somewhere and eating something that I know I can make at home. Batavia Diner makes good food. Great food, even. But I can make everything they have there at home. For this reason, we won’t be going back. They do have the most reasonable prices for breakfast in the area though, so they’ve got that going for them, which is nice.

Adorable little diner. Very good food and portion sizes and the prices are so cheap! And finally, a place that has actual homefries and not that greasy shredded stuff other diners have. Real sliced potatoes! Imagine that. Service was perfect. Loved it! Definitely will be back.

We live in Batavia and love good breakfast places. Hadn’t ever tried Batavia’s Diner and the reviews were good so we gave it a try. On the way there I said to my wife I wish there was a good Mexican Breakfast place around the tri-cities. Little did I know that BD perfectly fit that description. I had the Chilaquiles. Comes with a thin steak, eggs and tortillas. Fantastic! So flavorful. The most expensive breakfast item at $ 8. My wife had the house skillet w/pancakes(yes, I ate those) at $ 5. Also outstanding flavor and value. Service was great. Only improvement could be the coffee — which was OK but not special. We were quite full and took 1⁄3 of our breakfast home and it was $ 15. Can’t wait to go back for another breakfast or try lunch.

My favorite items are the Philly cheesesteak and the chips & salsa. Try the chips & salsa. The owners are good people. I go here all the time and have serviced their entrance door. The owners were patient even with multiple setbacks. Try the chips & salsa. Try the chips & salsa. Mouth. Salsa.

Not impressed. The vines some like that run across the ceiling are great for dirt & grease collection. I don’t want that dropping on to my food.

Batavia diner is my favorite restaurant. My father goes there everyday for breakfast & if I lived in the area, I would too! The staff is so friendly & they don’t even have to give us a menu because they already know what we want. I’ve been going to Batavia Diner for the past few years for my birthday for breakfast. I love this place!

This place is adorable. The booths are painted and there are vines stretching across the ceiling. It is an excellent atmosphere for a meal. The service was excellent and prompt. I ordered the gyro. The meat was good, the tzatziki wasn’t a garlicy as I like, but still fine. The french fries were as expected. I would definately return.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the tricity area. I most often eat at Batavia Diner 2. Everything is homemade including the chips and salsa! It’s as if you were invited into your best friends home and comfort food abounds! The price is so reasonable for the quality. Food is outstanding!

In an area where everyone charges way too much for their food… this little diner is the best! Great food and great prices!!! Stumbled upon it while walking around town. I have sampled just about every restaurant in town and have to say that this is the place to go for a good breakfast at a great price! This is family owned and operated from what I can tell. The menu is indeed limited but just the right size. The service is outstanding!!! Portions are perfect!!! No its not a fancy name or eatery but it reminds me of exactly what it is… A good old fashioned diner. Worth visiting again and again. In fact… I think I will head over for breakfast right now!!!
