Bronxville Diner

We went on a Sunday morning after church. We got the last table before the line formed. We wanted a full breakfast, which seemed pricey but noticed a breakfast sampler. Had eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, home fries and pancakes! Just what we were looking for. Add 2 coffees and we were set and out the door for less than $50. Service was good and quick, and food came out hot. The dining room is small and cramped and loud, but they make it work.

Okay. So where do I begin? First of all, the staff was either very nice or very rude. Second of all, how on earth can you charge that much for a salad? It's Bronxville, not Florence.

The food was satisfactory, but the main issue was that they added an additional gratuity without informing me. When the waitress brought the bill, I gave her a cash tip and she swiftly tried to collect it before I saw the total. This is not good business practice and has cost them a loyal customer. Adding a tip is fine, but deliberately taking more than twenty percent without my knowledge, on top of an additional 18 percent, is unacceptable.

The server was very rude and unprofessional. I observed them chatting with each other while guests waited to be seated. The food was mediocre, the service was terrible, but the atmosphere was nice.
