Vinny’s Luncheonette

Been going to Vinny’s for years. They care, want eggs soft NO PROBLEM. Their lunch specials are great. Sometimes I get them to go in the AM for tonight’s dinner. The place is old school but is immaculate. I highly recommend this gem!

Vinny’s is a classic lunch counter. When you step inside, it is like going back in time. The décor is outdated and if you don’t like it, too bad. I doubt they will be updating anytime soon. But that is part of the charm.
They serve classic lunches you can eat at the counter, or take with you– there aren’t many tables. The menu is short and sweet. Sandwiches, pasta dishes and traditional breakfast dishes as well. On Friday’s, there are seafood pasta specials with shrimp or calamari. They have the best pasta sauce in town. You can choose between sweet or spicy red sauce, or garlic and oil.
The staff is sweet and always helpful. Don’t forget cash! They do not accept cards.

Food is kind of bland and the place needs a serious renovation. Felt like I traveled back in time when I entered.

Amazing old-​school diner. I sat next to four cops, and had a face-​full of delicious lasagna.

Vinny’s has great food and service, but yesterday they charged me $ 4.25 for a grapefruit juice, while my breakfast sandwich was $ 4.50. I’ve gone there many times and never been charged that much for juice, so I’m pretty upset over this weird up-​charge. I didn’t leave a tip because I spent almost $ 20 for just an omelette, coffee and bagel sandwich. Normally it’s less than $ 15 with at least 15% tip. Vinny’s is so reasonably priced too so I really don’t know what happened. I still love their food and I will be back, but never buying a bottled beverage there again.

Great chili, fair prices, always great service and fast turnaround time from ordering to eating. There aren’t many of these lunchcounter type places left but I’m so glad this one is nearby. Breakfast and lunch are both worth stopping in for.

I was shocked at the quality of food for the price. This place is truly Port Chester’s hidden gem. Fun atmosphere Great Staff Highly Recommend!!!

Glad I came across this spot.
The best money value I’ve spent on food in a long time.
The place is nice and friendly with a classic luncheonette feel.
The food is delicious, the prices are more than reasonable, and the guys running the place are great.
There is a traditional diner/​luncheonette menu with the griddle running all day and then there are Italian specials of the day.
I was in the mood for breakfast so I had pancakes, which were buttery and actually some of the best I ever had (sounds funny saying that about pancakes but you’ll see).
Next time I’m coming back for the meatballs and escarole, they looked awesome on plates passing by.

A hidden diamond in port chester, I must say the the freshness the cleanliness the attention and quality of the food… wow, I asked for the pastrami with eggs and home fries and it blew my mind in my book the best place for breakfast in port chester

I love Vinny’s! Great place to go for breakfast or lunch in downtown Port Chester. The food is excellent! I love the chili, steak and peppers and their dinners are delicious!
The service is friendly and attentive. The prices are very reasonable! Love it!

I just absolutely love this place! From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile! Sitting in at this place is like eating with family from the moment you sit down till the moment you cash out your check!
It is hard to find bad things to say about this place because their system just works perfectly with the job they are trying to get done!
If there was anything to complain about would be limited parking on the street how ever if you don’t mind a nice three minute walk there is free parking down the road!
Enjoy!

This luncheonette gets 5 stars because there are not places like this anymore — good food, friendly service and unbelievable prices… Love this place!

Vinny, Tony, brother Mario and all the staff are fantastic. Mario is now doing something else but me and my brothers and parents (god rest their souls) have been going here since the 70’s just the best!

I love old school places like this. Though we had the friendliest service from our waiter, the food was — well, as breakfasts out for me usually go. too greasy and blah. Omelettes were a good size but had too much of the flavor of old oil. Hashbrowns were okay and they serve with a ton of sliced toast.
Not sure if fair to rate lowly since we both only tried the omelettes. I did think the egg sandwiches served next to us looked delicious! This, I’m guessing is what to order and they are super cheap.

Anytime I want spagetti and meatballs for lunch I go here. For $ 8 you get a great meal fast, love it.

I love this place — the atmosphere isnt so great — it is just a luncheonette — but the food choices and amount of good food you get makes it worth the trip. Everyone that works there is really friendly too.
One of my favorite lunch spots — I would go more if I wanted to gain 20 pounds!

My man VINNY will cook you up anything you want. Literally! Tuesday is Stuffed Cornish hen day i suggest you try it, or his steak sandwich w chilli

Can you say OLD SCHOOL?
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, folks. Perfectly juxtaposed against Batali’s Tarry Lodge, Market, and Wines across the street, this place has been humming along since the early 70s. And it looks like they haven’t even noticed the changing decades!
The prices apparently have not changed either, which bumps this place from a four to a five in my book. The first time I went, I ordered a classic two eggs, with bacon and toast meal. The waiter asked if I’d like a side of chili with that. Um, yeah! Someone seriously needs to research Port Chester’s fascination with the chili.
I’ve only been for breakfast so far (they are only open until 4 or so, and 1 on Saturday and closed on Sunday), but it’s some of the best around. Another no frills establishment, but who needs frills when you’ve got great food and outstanding prices.
Really itching to get there for lunch!

Best Spagetti & Meatballs in Town! and its only $ 7 :)

Ditto to the prior reviewer. I live around the corner, and feel so fortunate to have this place nearby. Great lunch counter character, great lunch counter _​characters_​, cheap and awesome eats, quick service. The first time I had the hot Italian sausage with eggs for breakfast, I went into a sort of trance dreaming about how good it was. Every time I get breakfast, the total bill is about $ 8. Amazing.
