Solid diner in the heart of the Ridgewood Central Business District. For the longest time, we didn't think a legit diner actually existed in Ridgewood, until some friends whom we dined with told us about the Daily Treat. After a long kids play date at nearby Wild Duck pond, we decided to drop in on a Saturday afternoon at 12:20ish and there were plennnnttty of open tables and seats when we arrived. Although the restaurant doesn't say diner anywhere, the menu is as classic diner as it gets. There's a heavy emphasis on the all-day breakfast menu, but they serve your typical salads, paninis, wraps, triple decker sammies, burgers and hodgepodge of entrees. On our 1st trip here, we ended up getting our kids the kids mac and cheese and kids pancakes. Although I didn't try much of it, I took a few taste test bites, which were decent. Nothing about it blew me away, but it was what it was. As for my wife, she ordered the Shrimp, Avocado, Roasted Corn Salad and she thoroughly enjoyed it, but, once again, I didn't really have at it, so can't give an honest review on it. As for me, I got an Omelette with Home Fries and Toast during our 1st meal here. The reason I don't specify it is because my omelette ended up getting swapped with a friend of ours. This was no fault of the restaurant's though as our friend claimed my omelette without confirming it was the right order, which ended up leaving me with his omelette. Bottom line, the omelette I ended up eating was still solid. I probably would have enjoyed it more though if I got the order I was anticipating, but, nevertheless, it was still good. Our waiter was friendly and handled our orders like a champ. In fact, he kept separate bills for us on the side just in case we wanted to split the bill, which we did! So job well done by him. There is NO DOUBT we'll be back now that we're aware an actual diner is located in Ridgewood since we 1) love going to Ridgewood to eat and (2) we absolutely loveeee diners.

Good breakfast spot. Prompt service, consistent food. Salads are a good bet for lunch.

I had dinner at the Daily Treat with a friend on a Friday evening! There was plenty of street parking nearby and a lot of available seating within the restaurant. The menu was cutely designed and the specials were interestingly handwritten. My friend got the fried egg sandwich with Taylor ham and I got the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. I thought the inclusion of broccoli with the eggs benedict was a bit strange, but otherwise, I enjoyed my meal and the portion size was large. At the end of the meal, you pay by walking up to the front counter and we had to wait a bit since the group before us was having trouble with payment. Overall, this diner-like restaurant was pretty good and I would come back here again!

I haven't been to daily treat in well over a decade and im glad to say they haven't lost their touch. My wife and I had lunch here before seeing a movie across the street. Portions were plentiful and the fried chicken was cooked to perfection. My French fries were cooked perfectly to my liking (well done). I had a choice of side salad or soup w my meal and I went w the salad and house dressing (def recommend this dressing). My wife's chicken souvlaki again was plentiful and the chicken was over cooked and she too got perfectly cooked fries to her liking (well done). We both had unsweetened iced teas which the staff always made sure they were full. I'd like to also mention that this place has been owned by the same family as when I came as a child which is becoming a rarer thing these days. Ridgewood is very accommodating with outdoor seating so since it was a nice enough day we sat outside and it was just a lovely ambiance to have fresh air while eating. Will def be back soon.

This place has been a constant since I was a child. No one's chicken fingers and honey mustard hold a candle to Daily Treats! Their breakfast with home fries is the best too!

Went to The Daily Treat for breakfast and had an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is not small, clean, and the service was quick/accurate. I ordered the Western Omelet, with grated potatoes, wheat toast, and everything was good. The omelet was fresh, thick, and the wheat toast had the perfect amount of butter. I would definitely return to the Daily Treat Restaurant and am certain, that you'll have a pleasant meal.
