What People Are Saying About Little Pete's

Citysearch
In Short – Nostalgic for an old-school diner, complete with the same waitresses who have been waiting on the same customer for 30 years? It's all here, at this family-owned Greek diner that specializes in spinach pie, stuffed chicken breast and homemade soups and puddings. The space has been described as "cozy" for its limited number of tables (seven) and counter where patrons squeeze into close quarters. And as for those waitresses? Tak it from one of the waitstaff: "Some of them are known for their attitude. But people like it."

Moldy food and no apology!!!
by goeagles08 at Citysearch
I had high hopes for Little Pete's. I love diners. I don't expect fine-dining, just a nice big, greasy burger or pile of scrambled eggs. The reviews were favorable, so my boyfriend and I went in for a late-night meal. What can I say...it was probably my WORST restaurant experience ever. I ordered strawberry shortcake, and I noticed within a few bites that all of the strawberries were covered in white MOLD. I informed the waitress, she whisked away the plate and handed us the check. No apology from her or the owner. They still charged my boyfriend for his meal, which, while not violating health codes, was pretty gross (hashbrowns = soggy potato mush). In addition to the moldy food that made me sick, the service was extremely slow, and the food was not cheap (midtown is about $2 cheaper for every meal). Little Pete's = don't go!
- Pros: Ummm...
- Cons: MOLD
