New York Spork includes Diner in its guide to Williamsburg brunch spots titled "Worth the Wait," describing it as the neighborhood's Pullman-car pioneer that still pulls weekend crowds despite the area's crowded farm-to-table brunch scene (New York Spork). The guide notes Williamsburg brunch in general "can get packed on weekends," with weekday evenings as a quieter alternative.
Diner does not accept reservations for brunch, per its own Resy listing, so parties must walk in or wait for a table (Resy). Coverage of the neighborhood's brunch scene has reported Sunday waits climbing toward 90 minutes by mid-morning at the area's most popular walk-in spots (New York Dearly).
