McDonald Avenue Diner

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast that tastes decent, this place should hit the spot. I didn’t care for the waitress’ attitude when I told her I didn’t want my bacon and sausage touching my waffles. When the dish came, sure enough the meats and waffles were on the same plate… touching and I am very particular when it come to different things being on different plates, when I brought up the fact that I didn’t like this, she looked puzzled or rather uninterested and didn’t try to change or accommodate my request. I also didn’t like the fact that the spinach in my egg white omelet looked like chopped frozen spinach. But again, if you want something quick and easy, and you don’t care if all your food is on one plate, then this is your spot!

This is the second time my bf has taken me here and it is amazing. The milkshakes are delicious and I always customize my omelet when I come here. This place takes care of their customers just make sure you confirm your order. Got home fries instead of French fries once. No biggie

I dont know why the other reviews are so low, but this place feels very home-​like. Food is good, prices are unbeatable anywhere else in brooklyn and the owners are very nice.
I started coming here after my dad told me about the place. He has been a regular here for over 10 years.
Great diner for that morning when you don’t want to stand in your kitchen, or where wearing a pair of sunglasses is not frowned upon.
A must place to eat if you are in the neighborhood!

I moved into the area in June and of course you want to find someplace that you can eat until you get food. I found this diner because right across the street is a huge Shop Rite Super Market. It also is steps away from the F Train (Ave I) stop.
There is not much around food wise around here so I am fortunate I found a diner which has decent food, fair prices, and an owner and his staff are very nice.
I gave this place 4 stars because it is really clean (which initially surprised me), the owner, location.
The food is standard diner food. Nothing fancy just eggs, Italian, Greek, etc you would find at a diner. It is prepared well.
I am not sure how to end this review other than if you are hungry come here. Oh and it is inexpensive.

The service is not top notch but its good enough for a diner.
I’m never sure about the hours of this place, I always have to call to make sure it’s open before I make the trip.
The menu has everything you expect a diner would have.
I’ve been here twice and both times they didn’t have the fresh orange juice or pineapple juice I wanted.
The food is good compared to other places around but it’s nothing special.

In a somewhat gritty, light-​industrial warehouse-​filled area, beneath the overhead tracks of the F Train’s I stop, is not a lot of anything when it comes to grub. In fact I counted 2 places within a multi-​block range… a corner deli with a myriad of fast food choices, and McDonald Ave. Diner, 2 doors down. (Note: there are two large food markets nearby, should you want to whip us something from scratch).
I chose the latter place, McDonald Ave. Diner, hoping for something a tad more healthy/​tasty. And it is a shiny/​clean contrast to the well worn neighborhood. The menu is pretty typical diner fare — 2 pages of breakfast stuff, an assortment of sandwiches, heroes, burgers, noodle dishes, grilled items and pockets of Italian and Mediterranean favorites.
With such as range, it’s hard to know what they might specialize in. Likewise, it also makes one wonder if they might have too much variety. Example: they had a number of seafood dishes, but seeing how I was the only customer during a weekday lunch hour*, I kinda questioned the turnover of aquatic inventory. Price wise, it’s fairly inexpensive, with most meals coming in under $ 10.
And you get what you pay for. It’s not bad… just very plain, basic, diner fare. Guy Fieri isn’t going to be pulling up anytime soon to try the «previously frozen hamburger patty with lettuce on a plain white bun.»
As such, I would file this under the category: «not worth a journey, but OK if you’re in need of some non-​special diner grub.»
* oddly, I was the only person there at 1 p.m., but when leaving at 2, it suddenly filled with locals.
