Just a quick stop on my new daily walk, stumble upon this place for some hot chocolate. Loved the family, local neighborhood vibe. I'll come back to eat! Hot Chocolate with milk was nice - smooth milk chocolate to finish out my walk.

A mom and pop restaurant that has fine tuned its food and service but their prices are great too. This restaurant serves authentic food not found in too many places. Their Irish pudding, in one of the plates was definitely a special treat. The place felt very cozy and inviting. I would definitely recommend the Tibbett Diner.

We've dined at Tibbett's over many many years ... Good reliable old school diner in Kingsbridge. Excellent service every time. Either breakfast or lunch served exactly how you order - with a smile, efficient, generous portions and delicious. Eileen is our favorite waitress, she's a gem!

My first time visiting this diner, and I will say I was pleased with the food and the service. Not sure if I was extra hungry but the pancakes were delicious!

I went to school around here for 4 years and would pass the diner every single day. And for some weird reason I was always scared to walk inside but today while going to school for some business I went inside. Idk why I was so scared because the food was good, the service was good, everything was good. If I find myself around here, I’m definitely going inside even if it’s just for a coffee.
