"A neighborhood staple and a pioneer to bring responsible, market-driven food to Brooklyn. It is a great place to get a late night burger and it's one of our favorites for brunch. The menu is short, changes daily, is seasonal and delicious. It was the launching pad for a range of other tasteful places and several former employees went on to open some of our favorite other shops in the area. ------ Marlow and Sons, next door is a great alternate option with baked goods in morning. Marlow and Daughters half a block away is whole animal butcher shop and prepared foods." - Swords-Smith
"Small and intimate American bistro set in an authentic dining car from 1927. Diner first opened its doors on New Year's Eve in 1999 and was serving seasonal, accessible, comfort food before it was cool to do so." - Franklyn
"Diner is a classic Williamsburg restaurant located in an old dining car, where the nightly-changing menu will be scribbled onto your paper tablecloth. While anything that person writes down will be fantastic, the best thing here is the one thing that never changes: the burger. It’s a thick but not-too-thick piece of meat with sharp cheese, a soft bun, and fat, crispy fries. Diner is also excellent at brunch, which typically has a mix of things like a semolina pancake and a breakfast sandwich with Calabrian chili oil." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, arden shore

"Diner is one of those restaurants people in the neighborhood (and beyond) know and love. It serves a legendary burger, and is located in an old Pullman dining car near the Williamsburg Bridge. But what you might not know is that Diner is also truly excellent at brunch. The menu changes often, and typically has a mix of things like a semolina pancake and a breakfast sandwich with Calabrian chili oil. Their burger is always available, too, in case you rightly can't bear to skip it." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman, sonal shah
