The Restaurant: American Diner Plates in Queens

Classic American breakfast and lunch set the agenda at The Restaurant, a long running Queens diner. Pick a morning meal before heading out, or make this the midday stop that gets you sitting down with a plate in front of you. Cozy booth seating gives you somewhere to settle in, while a simple diner layout keeps the setting straightforward. Traditional booth service puts the focus on a seated meal instead of a bite on the go. Leave yourself time to eat before getting back to the rest of your day. Find the diner on Rockaway Beach Boulevard in Rockaway Park. To reach the restaurant before setting out, call 718.634.5809. That gives you a direct way to ask about a meal before making the trip. It opens from 7 AM to 4 PM Monday through Saturday, and from 7 AM to 3 PM on Sunday. For planning, check the listed hours and use the address on the card to time your visit.
