What People Are Saying About Gypsy's Shiny Diner
Featured Review

In Short – Jump in the long line to get a seat with everyone else, or pass the time by surrendering your quarters to the jukebox just inside the door. The fare is a cut above your typical greasy spoon. You can order fresh tuna fish or grilled chicken sandwiches, as well as Caesar salads and fresh soups. The requisite burgers and fries do find a prominent place on the menu.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- When you slip into your overstuffed vinyl booth, deposit the rest of your change into the mini-jukebox. There's nothing like a little Carl Perkins with your burger.

Pleasantly SURPRISED!
by Ken W
A friend told me that Gypsy's had a NEW menu, so we ventured in on 2/4/2010 and WOW, do they have a NEW menu..its AWESOME, FINALLY looks like a DINER menu..had the Philly Cheese Steak Omelette and I 110% recommend that indeed. I asked the server (who was fast, knowledgable & efficient) if it was a new owner, she said nope, same family since 1997, I said I am impressed! I must say Gypsy's has very much IMPROVED over my last visit & is VERY clean (big deal for me)..my only drawback (if it is one) is that the Diner is no longer OPEN 24 hrs..oh well, I need to get there before 2am on Fri or Sat nights :)
- Pros: Good Food, Clean, Price is Good
- Cons: no longer OPEN 24 HRS on weekend

Good food. But donlt put your quarters in the jukebox's on the table. They don't play music and you wonlt get a refund. That really aggrivated me.

A shiny diner that needs some polish.
by arsbadmojo
I wasn't looking for this place - someone had told me to check out an Asian market in the neighborhood; but when I saw what looked to be a real live diner, I was very excitied.
The excitement didn't last long. It was Saturday morning around 10:00 and I had to wait for a table. I can't really ding them for that; after all, if there's a crowd it usually means the place is pretty good, right? But in this case, no one seemed to be bussing tables. In other words, I don't mind waiting if the place is full - but if there are tables with uncleared dirty dishes AND I'm waiting - that's a problem.
I finally got a seat at the bar. Menu is pretty much straight up diner fare, with prices on the high side. $9 for Eggs Benedict? Unfortunately that's what I was hungry for. Turns out it didn't matter anyway; they were out of english muffins. Hello? You're a diner on a Saturday - there's just no excuse for that.
So I ordered a Rueben. Didn't really go with the OJ I had already ordered in anticipation of breakfast, but the waitress didn't think to ask. I saw 3 waitresses working front of the house, I think they could have really used 4 because there was very little attention paid to me. No one did a mid-meal check, see if everything was OK.
The Rueben was pretty good, but the pickle they served me with it was this pathtic little runt that looked like it had already been chewed on. If I had seen my waitress I would have asked her if she thought it looked good enough to serve, but by the time she got back to me I just wanted to get out.
I'm wresting with giving the place 2 stars (below) or 3 (average). I'm going with 2 because I expected more, and I don't think it was too much to ask. If you're a diner, you just don't run out of english muffins. Hire another waitress and a high school kid to bus tables.
Also - Pepsi products, ewww. You're a diner - spring for Coke.
- Pros: Has the look of a real diner, fast.
- Cons: Service isn't stellar, on the expensive side

The search ends at Gypsy's..GREAT FOOD for us New Yorkers!!!
by RDUINFO
Went to Gypsy's on Sunday for breakfast..great service, indeed as other wrote a nice loud jukebox (but not as loud as the other post had said, it was just top tapping right, we are older not DEAD..lighten up people ;)
Food was of great quality and the friendlly staff including the owner telling me "Thanks for you business, we appreciate it you coming to Gypsys"..The SHiny Diner has just received 6 new "regulars at all hours of the week
- Pros: Gypsy's Jewel breakfast, HUGE Milkshakes, Coconut Cream pie
- Cons: my waistline after Gypsy's ;)

The food is okay and the service is improving. The music is so loud that it will make you want to leave if you are sitting under one of the sets of speakers. People almost scream at each other to talk at the same table. Will probably stop going there because when asked if they could cut volume down just a little was told it is against management policy to cut the music down. So much for customer satisfaction. There use to be 6 of us that went there regularly, which was reduced to 3 and now if I want to go I will go by myself. The 10 layer cake is great, but I'll just stop and get it to go in the future.
