Majestic Diner
Included In
While the neighborhood has undergone changes, the retro feels and stellar food of this 1920s-era Ponce diner remain in place. The smell and sounds of sizzling bacon are the first things that greet you after walking through the Majestic’s glass door entrance. Regulars hunch on red stools at the open kitchen counter as cooks crack egg after egg into well-worn pans. It’s no longer the late-night haven it used to be pre-pandemic, but the breakfast- and lunch-only spot still sells their juicy, cheesy patty melt, which is good anytime of day. But plan to go early if you want a taste of their incredibly fluffy biscuits slathered with gravy and chopped up sausage bits—yes, it's that good, and yes, they sell out fast.
