Chris' Diner

Decent breakfast place with great prices

Definitely a classic diner vibe. Food was very filling and a great value.

My daughter ordered a pancake and couldn't finish half as it was bigger than her plate. I order the Greek omelet and it came with a lot of home fries.

Service- waitress was attentive and kind. Food arrived very quickly after being ordered.


A stop for a good breakfast for a little price.

Ah...breakfast at Chris' Diner in downtown Binghamton, NY is always a winner.
Seated immediately, beverages served, and order taken right away
Our food arrived quickly, and as always, huge portions on the plates.
Pancakes, sausage, home fries, and orange juice for me. Western omlet with all thr trimmings for Meg. All good as usual.
Wait stall are accomodating and friendly, and the place seems always full. Prices are very user friendly.
We'll be back soon, and you should go to Chris', too.

Place came highly recommended by a guest at the hotel we were staying , he advised us not to eat at the hotel restaurant. So Saturday Morning we decided to try Chris Diner .

Food : absolutely delicious , the home fries were actually nice and fresh and not something like some places where they just sit there and get burnt. And everything came super fast

Place had good vibes and it was crowded from the minute we walked in till the minute we left , will definitely go back there if I ever visit the area again .

Service : Libby was out waitress and she was the nicest thing , making such a pleasant experience for us . So it was a win win .. great service , great vibe and great food .

If you even go to Binghamton you definitely should check out Chris Diner .. 5 stars across the board .

Great customer service
Ambiance was friendly and happy
Food was good
Price is good

Eggs, sausage, home fries . (Home fries needed green peppers and onions) but it was good. Coffee was also good.

My sister recommended I try Chris' before returning to Long Island. She graduated 20 years ago. It's nothing fancy but it certainly delivered on its food. I thoroughly enjoyed my omlette, which was cooked perfectly. I did ask how they cooked them and was it eggs folded over your choices (like IHop). My waitress assured me it was NOT, and she didn't lie. Asked for home fries well done. Yup, done.
I'll probably never be back to Binghamton again, but if you are there for breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend it.

If you asked me to guess where COVID-19 started, I'd guess it was here. Truly, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The first red flag started back in the parking lot, when I saw one of the cooks taking a cigarette break and "scratching" his nose. Immediately upon entry, I knew it was going to be bad. The decor was retro, but more retro in the fact it hasn't been cleaned in 50 years. The tables were cramped, the ceilings were low, the walls were dirty and yellow, and there was a thriving population of flies. While the food was cheap, believe me, my stomach payed for it later. The waffles and pancakes were dry, flavorless, and tasted like they came from an expired packet of Bisquick pancake mix. I didn't try the eggs and potatoes, but my party said they were just as bad.

I really would've liked to support a small, family owned diner like Chris', but truthfully I don't know how this place is still in business.

The portions are huge and prices were great. The food itself was not so special, but you definitely won't leave hungry. The waitresses were very friendly and provided great service. The place is a bit run down, but the people go for the food and not the atmosphere/decor.

This local diner is one of local's favorite. The food here is great and the portions are huge!! Come hungry! The server are super friendly.

I'm new in town and happened upon this place due to a quick google search of "breakfast near me". It was a Saturday, this place looked like a solid diner that serves breakfast all day, so I assumed this place would be busy. It was a packed house. I went down the street and grabbed a coffee and waited an hour. Came back and there was a seat at the bar right in front of the grill. It was the best seat in the house.

The two guys on the grill, which was loaded with home fries, eggs, pancakes, sausage, ham, etc were insane to watch. They cooked food well and at a pace that would kill a Waffle House line cook. Not only that, one of them was eying my coffee and took a second between scrambling more eggs to ask if I wanted more. The banter between the older guy and younger guy on the grill was pretty great, too.

Needless to say the food was phenomenal. I had a Greek omelette with bacon, and it's a big one. It also comes with a heaping side of home fries and a side of toast of your choice. For the price, I couldn't believe I was getting that much food. It tasted great. The service was great, with the two who were waiting on me made me feel like I was a regular. This is where you want to go for a meal, and I know I'll be back.

11/10 would recommend. Heads up: Cash only (wished I'd known before because I wanted to also tip the cooks, they were absolutely smashing out great food super fast!).

Very good breakfast spot in Binghamton, NY as evidenced by how insanely busy it was!!

This is your basic diner-kind-of-place that all the locals go which are always the best places for breakfast food!

I was staying at a nearby hotel with 15 other women for a weekend get away and we came here on the last day right after we all checked out.

We took up 4 tables (2 pushed together) and Maria was our server. Even with how slammed the restaurant was she took very good care of us and everything was tasty and came out in a very reasonable amount of time.

I'll be sure to hit this spot next time I'm in Binghamton!

Delicious food and great service! I was nearby visiting your and in the mood for brunch or a good lunch, and the menu was very inclusive of all the classic diner foods - eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, chicken etc.

I was leaning towards breakfast until until I saw all the variety of foods for after 11am. I love liver and they had liver and onions. Came with a huge pile of mashed potatoes, veggie of the day was sliced fresh steamed beets, and choice of bread, I got buttered Italian bread. Everything was delicious! Service was quick and food all correct, got bottomless hot tea with it.

There were some parking lots behind the restaurant that were near a bus station and other stores, while the spaces next to the restaurant were reserved for Chris's with no charge for parking. They are cash only, keep that in mind.

Definitely recommended!
