Victoria's Diner

I visited this diner on a Sunday and from the moment we walked in, I could smell the goodness in the place! My friend and I went around 11AM and were seated immediately. I had the Spanish omelette and added apple sausage to it with a side of breakfast potatoes (pictured below). I really enjoyed it. The omelette ingredients were good and the chef was generous with the chicken sausage! I asked for hot sauce on the side, hoped for sriracha, but the options were Franks and Tabasco. Only real draw back is that my utensils weren't all the way clean and the booth we sat in had duck tape in it that was rising and damaged my pants a bit. Otherwise, I'd recommend Victoria's to folks and go back myself!Update: I've been back and tried the french toast which I enjoyed. The portion was hefty.

I also got grits with cheese on the side sorry didn't get a picture had to completely trash watered down no flavor. In a nut shell I wouldn't recommend this place. Was a complete was of $127 I got other things that was completely horrible as well burned bacon over priced Philly cheese steak that was so small for 23 and the fries was under cooked.

Victoria's Diner has been a staple in the city. They have a reliable breakfast, which is decent. It's an old school diner style and typically packed. My friend liked his eggs & cakes and my egg + cheese breakfast sandwich on thick sourdough toast was good. The eggs did not fill up the whole sandwich though. We both asked for crispy homefries but I was the only one who got them, mixed with onions. Ambience: 4/5Food: 3.5/5Service: 4/5Victoria's Diner: 3.8/5

Had a fun breakfast here with my daughter and our friend. We were looking for a place we could enjoy which had some parking, since it was our last stop before heading back to NJ. This place was pretty close to our hotel. It's a fun, retro diner, that perfect combination of old grunge and great food. We parked, sat down and were able to order right away. I had a Belgian waffle. My daughter had a strawberry banana smoothie and the Rehab: two eggs, bacon and pancakes. She said it was all delicious. My friend had eggs, corned beef hash and a side of grits.Everything was great, we enjoyed everything and we had a blast. Being able to pay from your phone by scanning a QR code was good, too.Since 1949 - they have to be doing something right!

The food was good. Despite adding hot sauce, it was still quite bland. The staff brought it out in about 5-10 minutes of ordering. I also got a strawberry milkshake but it wasn't the best. You could see pieces of ice in the drink and it was disappointing. The place wasn't too crowded, probably because it was a Saturday afternoon, so I got seated right away.

*** 11/2019 ***A seasonal specials sheet caught my eye.The Pumpkin Bisque with smoke gouda $5.99 bowl was savory tasty rich, but served lukewarm instead of hot.Both Victoria's Hangover Burger $13.99 (8 oz Angus beef patty topped with a fried egg, smoked bacon, American cheese, smother with black pepper maple syrup aioli) and Victoria's Breakfast Sandwich $10.99 (2 fried eggs, melted pepper jack cheese, famous turkey hash, topped with chipotle mayo) were served on a jumbo English muffin. Both were pretty good. I was just bummed that somehow I always seem to end up with the short end of the stick with my portion of french fries, which by the way, was terrific on this visit.Off the regular menu, the breakfast burrito (shaved sirloin with two scrambled eggs, peppers, onions and pepper jack cheese $10.49) was missing something. It just wasn't particularly well flavored, and the beef came out a bit tough. The portion sufficed though.*** 12/2019 ***New seasonal specials sheet, though there wasn't one on our table, so I borrowed the one I spotted at an empty table not too far away.Two of us ended up sharing two of the specials:Shashuka $14.99This famous breakfast dish from Israel is a delicious mix of 2 poached eggs, smothered with mozzarella and gouda cheese, in a homemade tomato sauce spiced with onions, garlic, cilantro and paprika... Served with a side of toast and homefries or hash browns.Huevos Rancheros $14.99This famous breakfast dish from Mexico is a delicious mix of 2 eggs any style, served with avocado, black beans, cilantro, topped with salsa and shredded cheddar on a corn tortilla.Another friend later commented that traditionally, shashuka is vegetarian, the eggs are cooked in the tomato sauce, and there is no cheese in it.Victoria's may not have been traditional, but somehow the mix with the potato cubes found beneath the gooey saucy cheese with lovely bits of onion and unannounced yet welcome basil leaves was quite tasty, rich, and filling.The other dish was enjoyed by our resident vegetarian. Visually, it was a bit deconstructed a plating, with the tortillas arriving the form of two folded tortilla shells, which we found out could be swapped out for pita upon request. I made myself a breakfast tortilla with my shell.Of the two, I preferred the Shashuka, but if recollections serve me well, I think I may revisit Victoria's Breakfast Sandwich sooner, if it continues to remain on their special roster.*** 1/2020 ***Guess the hash browns were short lived. They weren't offered on this visit when a bunch of ordered omelettes for lunch.The breakfast potatoes were quite good, and they filled the New Market Veggie $10.99 (minus the jalapenos please) quite well with crisp firm vegetables, which made it feel like a sensible healthy option. A DC however wasn't crazy about the sweetened marinade used in their fried chicken.Even though the steak tips in my Victoria's Steak Sandwich on Ciabatta $11.99 came north of the requested medium rare, the meat was still quite pleasantly tender.I've been hankering lately to give their French Toast a try, and only recently realized that their Eggs & Cakes $8.99 come with either pancakes OR french toast ($5.99 a la carte for 2 pieces) with 2 eggs, breakfast potatoes or grits, and choice of toast. Hmmm...No more Monthly Specials for now it seems.

Went here for a breakfast on Friday morning while in Boston visiting our daughters. I picked Victoria's because we hadn't been there before, they had off street parking and it was another area that we hadn't explored yet.Our server was outstanding. She was prompt to take our order but never made us feel rushed. On top of refills for the coffee and checked in periodically to ask if we needed anything.They offer quite a vast selection, which included many omelettes and Benedict's, plus all of the usual breakfast fare.My better half had the stuffed french toast, which she raved about and the portion size allowed her to take half home for a snack during the weekend.I had a short stack of pancakes with two over easy eggs and the homemade corned beef hash. Everything was very tasty and done to perfection except for the hash was a bit dry. Overall great place for breakfast if you're in the area!

Always come here for a quick and easy brunch. I've come multiple times with large groups and the wait is never very long. The service is always quick. Once for Mother's Day there was live music! Great ambiance and wait staff.

Had breakfast, Eggs benedict with hash, my friend had pancakes. Awful! The hollandaise sauce was almost translucent...no flavor, eggs were over cooked, hash tasted like cat food - no exaggeration here; for 18 bucks I was shocked. Pancakes were burnt and dry and they only give you a very tiny cup of syrup. For the price I was shocked. Also, the seating was terrible. If you are a bigger person, which I am average size, you will not fit in the booths. I had trouble and I'm not a bigger person. No foot room under the table either, very uncomfortable seating. The servers were just ok, nothing special. Zero enthusiasm. I remember this place when the Georgenus' owned it, it was fabulous, they would be so disappointed to see it today.

Had a pick up order. Left out our French toast and extra bacon from our order. Ordered ~$40 worth of food and got maybe ~$20-25 of it. Server not even check the bag and I could not as I was in a rush. Food tastes good but customer care is not.
