Good service and great food. The problem I have with diners is the insanely long menu, this place is no exception but everything I got was good. The cheeseburger was fresh and juicy. The french fries were also good, thick cut style. The pickle and cole slaw were actually good too; usually I don't eat these at most diners but it tasted fresh. I recommend getting some challah bread too.
Where diners go to die … many of my childhood memories include late-night trips to the Eastchester Odyssey and, like my childhood, any happy memories of good food with friends are loooonnnnggg gone.
Despite the fact that the place was virtually empty, we waited for twenty minutes just to get water. Our waiter looked like a character out of the office scene of Joe versus the Volcano and the food he delivered was lackluster (how hard is it to make bacon egg and cheese???)
I have no intention of ever returning. I urge you to do the same.
Service was pretty bad. All we wanted were some slices of cake from the dessert case. It was 9:30 pm, and there weren't many customers. Not sure why it took the waiter 10 minutes to greet us and another 10 to bring us the desserts. Plus, it took a long to even get seated. The guy behind the counter (owner? Manager?) saw us come in, then turned around and texted for a while before we eventually interrupted and asked to be seated.
When we went for lunch another time, service was a little better. Food is fine – typical diner food. I do wish they'd use real cheese instead of Kraft slices on the tuna melt though.
What's up with the 1-2 star reviews of this place? Ridiculous!
I have nothing but positive comments of this place. Grannies, grampas, seniors with walking crutches, and families were pouring in by the hour, surely if it was 2 stars worth of a diner, it wouldn't be this busy on a weekend and this loved and supported by the Eastchester community.
Classic 80's diner atmosphere. You walk into a display of baked goods, a bubble gum machine (nostalgia!), and capsule toy vending machines as you wait to be seated. Manager is dressed very nicely and friendly.
Our server was attentive and friendly as well. I asked if they had strawberry milkshake but they only had vanilla or chocolate. I pondered for a second and changed my mind and went with water. (I'm pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to milkshakes…strawberry only for me.) He said "You sure? Our vanilla milkshakes are really good." Given his extra effort in trying to convince me, I gave in and I'm glad I did. Literally tasted like vanilla ice cream 🙂 He remarked "good choice" with my mom's order of pancakes 🙂 My parent's coffee were constantly refilled, guys were making rounds every 10 minutes. Impressive.
It's nice their menu has the option of 'healthy choices' for those who are on a diet- ie. "Low carbs", "Health Salad", "Turkey Bite". If I'm going to be at a diner though, I'm going to go ALL OUT for sure haha! I had the French Toast Deluxe which consisted of 2 french toast, 2 pieces of bacon, a sausage, a piece of virginia ham, and an egg cooked to your liking. Delicious, my over easy egg was cooked perfectly.
We were all stuffed to the max after finishing our breakfast and was fully satisfied with the service. Places like these affirm my love for classic diners and all American breakfasts 🙂
I'll go to the Eastchester Odyssey diner when it's late and nothing else is open….but otherwise, there is little reason to come here. The food was mediocre. The Rebel Burger was decent as is some of the breakfast items but nothing worth returning for. With high prices for a dinner and slow service, I'd instead suggest heading to to iHop or the Mirage Diner in New Rochelle for a late night meal.
A place I've been to a few times for breakfast and dinner.
The burgers are really good. Big and juicy, the fries are nice too. The turkey burgers are awful though. Made with herbs and shallots, they just don't taste right.
The breakfast is really good though. A nice omlette is the Odyssey. Ham, cheese and tomato.
It's your basic diner in a nice area. The price however isn't so nice. Breakfast for 2 (basically 2 omlettes and coffee) can easily run over $20.
