50 Best Diners near Fairview

“Best food around. great service. very friendly place. love the cocktails.“

“Mike's Coffee Shop has a quintessential diner feel and you better get there early if you want to snag a booth. They serve up all the classics and none of that $14 pancakes nonsense. I focused in on the Greek Specialties section and ordered a Gyro on Pita for $7.25. It has a good amount of meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki on soft pita. I could've used a squeeze of lemon on the side, but otherwise a flawless diner experience.“

“Revelie Luncheonette is a popular, walk-in-only diner in SoHo, New York, known for its French-American comfort food, retro vibe, and connection to the famous Raoul's restaurant. It offers all-day dining with a menu that includes excellent burgers, French onion soup, and milkshakes, alongside classic dishes like steak tartare and profiteroles, all served in a nostalgic setting with vintage decor and classic TV playing.“

“Thanksgiving Day Special was amazing !!!! If you come to NYC, you better eat at this place !!!! Off the hook…… Amazing !!!!!“

“Excellent diner overall. Highly recommend.“

“Empire Diner is more than just a diner, it’s an institution of Chelsea. Pricier than your average diner, their cuisine takes on daring takes of original flavors. Massive drink list and a very cool atmosphere to boot. Across from Clement Clarke Moore Park and just under an amazing art mural. This is a place to impress and you will be impressed by this spot.“

“We absolutely loved Townhouse Diner! We ended up coming here almost every day during our stay in New York because it quickly felt like our home away from home.
The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always made us feel so comfortable. The food was exactly what you’d hope for from a classic New York diner—delicious, generous portions, and always satisfying. Everything we tried was great!
What we loved most was the warm atmosphere and the way everyone treated us like regulars from day one. It really made our trip even more special.
If we come back to New York, we will definitely return to Townhouse Diner. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and amazing service!“

“Just to start this review off, a word of advice...do not order pick up via Seamless from this diner. Every time I have done this, without exception, I have had to stand and wait as my order hasn't even been started yet - and I do arrive at designated pick up time. Interestingly if you order delivery it arrives in 15 mins:) That aside, this is hands down the best diner food I have encountered. It never fails to amaze me when I see the lines outside Gramercy Diner where the food is terrible when this place is so much better!! Highly recommended, with the atmosphere and decor of a classic diner should you choose to eat in rather than take away.“

“Wonderful little spot. The food was delicious and the staff very attentive and professional. There aren't many spots in the area where the menu is full of variety especially breakfast. Their egg white omelette is delicious and their fresh coffee must try.
Be prepared to wait the line is long.“

“execelent mexican Food and drink“

“Lovely typical American diner, very clean with professional staff. The food is exactly what you'd want it to be; we had a breakfast burrito and avocado toast with poached eggs which we perfectly cooked. Free refills on the coffee was brilliant too. We were there about 8:45 and were seated straight away, order was taken promptly and the food arrived without any real wait. Definitely recommend.“

“Good food & service, very clean, and parking.“

“I didn’t expect a full blown broadway show experience in a restaurant! If you want show tunes and pop music served with a plate of great food then this is the place for you! Our server Brandi M. belted out a wicked version of The wizard and I! I ordered the BLT with avocado and waffle fries and my friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were delicious.“

“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1(8O5)-41O 5OO2 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“Fantastic food awesome service. 10/10 from me“

“Beautiful place, lovely vibe and people.
There was a small mishap where our order took really long to come but they gave us a complimentary beer and we're very polite about the situation.

Overall we waited over an hour.“

“Great American Diner, proper homely food. I had the spinach and mushroom omelette which comes with fries (mini roast potato's) and sourdough toast, also ordered some black coffee and orange juice.

Great portions (not too big) and excellent value for money.

It was also nice to see so many locals / regulars dining there (the waitress knew their usual, which is always a good sign).“

“The food? AMAZING. The service? EXCEPTIONAL. The atmosphere? NOSTALGIC. The spiced apple cider?!??!?? TO DIE FOR. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this warranted it. This place is a must go. Don’t sleep on it, folks. And this ain’t A.I., this is a real Black man giving his full-chested opinion. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Came over for a breakfast after going to the 9 AM Trinity Church service and was not disappointed! Service was outstanding, and our lovely waitress Cathy recommended the incredible Manhattan wrap. Kids got great chocolate chip pancakes as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!“

“Maria was a wonderful waitress. The food was excellent. Thanks for a memorable dinner“

“Everything I've had here has been amazingly good. Best Gyro platter. Good pastrami sandwich. Meatloaf dinner was great. Fries are awesome. What's best is the courteous and fast service.“

“Delicious food. You get a lot of food for the price. Great NYC diner!“

“Jean’s has such a great vibe — effortlessly cool, intimate, and lively at the same time. The atmosphere makes it perfect for a date or a fun night out. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the cocktails are standout — balanced, creative, and dangerous in the best way. The music and crowd add to the energy without overwhelming the space. Service is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. Jean’s never disappoints and is always a good time“

“Stopped by this last weekend with family. I was totally blown away by the outstanding food and friendly service. Highly recommended for your next dining experience.“

“Amazing food as always. Been three times so far and I will be back again this week for more 👌🏻“

“The food was ok, but the service felt rushed. The staff kept coming to our table every couple of minutes, and as soon as we finished eating, the check was placed on the table. It made us feel pressured to leave rather than enjoy the experience.“

“We love Colonial Diner and have been going there for years. They have the best food and best staff, along with an amazing atmosphere. My three year old asks to go there for practically every meal and we are always greeted like family when we walk through the door. This is the best diner I’ve ever been to. Run -don’t walk- and get ANYTHING from the menu; you won’t regret it!“

“Stopped by Tria Bakery Cafe Diner while waiting out a 2-hour wait at Golden Diner. We were starving and didn’t want to stand around in the cold, and this place ended up being the perfect move. It’s only about a 6-minute walk from Golden Diner, and we were able to sit down, stay warm, and enjoy good food and coffee while we waited. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and exactly what we needed. Definitely glad we came here.“

“le brunch le plus incroyable de New York, Des pancakes exceptionnel en quantité gargantuesque Beaucoup de choix et un service très sympathique“

“Everything about this diner was great. Food, service, cleanliness. Would definitely go back on my next trip to New York!! 🍔🍗🥓“

“It's 2026 and you get a great super filling breakfast at a price you cannot imagine!
Toast, 2 good size hash browns and 2 eggs just for $6! Big coffee mug just for $2.
Great vintage ambience and warm staffs. You guys are amazing and wish you all the great things!“

“Would have never guessed it... great staff, very clean... got exactly what i asked for... great selection of breakfast dishes... did i mention it was so clean... the ketchup bottle has absolutely no residue and it had been used... will return“

“This place is a real gem. It’s quick, the service is great and it’s very efficient – exactly what you’d expect from a breakfast spot“

“Wait staff was friendly and you were not pushed to finish dinner. We had the shrimp po' boy and the grilled ribeye open face steak sandwich. I asked for my French fries to be extra crispy and they were delicious. After driving for almost 5 hours, sitting in rush hour traffic and construction, this diner made our day and on a really great note.“

“The Waverly Diner is my office away from the office and my home away from home. Now that I no longer live in the city, I still meet my tenants, brokers and associates at the Waverly Diner when I come up to New York each month to check on my six historic townhouses in the West Village. The food may be your typical diner fare, but the staff is A++ and they’re there and they care!“

“What an amazing place to have breakfast we both had the big breakfast’s one with waffles and I had the French toast! Utterly delicious and throughly recommend a visit. We are on holiday from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so glad I found this place and we will be back with our children next year.“

“The menu looks great the write up about the food is promising. The problem I see is with your training of your staff. That falls on the management. The management is setting up their employees to fail. Train your staff, hold yourself accountable, you as a manager is to train your staff, to your standards and expectations. If you have staff members who will not or cannot meet your expectations of doing the job, if they cannot or will not follow instructions, you need to terminate them that includes family members. It sounds harsh, I know jobs are hard to get in the Philippines. That is more of a reason to train your employees to do the job to their best.“

“Hit the spot. I had the “Mexican” Omelette with added ham. Along with what looks to be actual home fries made from actual non processed potatoes.. not the chopped up store bought kind.. Either I was exhausted from walking all day and it being 2 AM, or this food was just that good! Never the less, I will definitely be eating there again!“

“I come from Pennsylvania to visit and this is my favorite place to eat all the time super good and very good coffee.“

“good food. good prices. good staff. all around good time“

“The Best Diner Family Run! People are so lovely! Food is Great! Very Clean!“

“It’s such a yummy spot on Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village!

The service is always good. The staff are always friendly. I have never had a bad meal here - after many many times at the Metropolitan Diner.

The only negatives are the difficulty parking (welcome to Middle Village) and the sometimes long wait (but, that’s what you get when the food is superior)!“

“Max and Mike were absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Last minute and on the spot we decided to do dinner at the hotel. They served all 10 of us and we left the entire experience in awh! They handled our large group with such TLC— and we aren’t an easy group!! The BEST part of our trip was the food and service they provided ✨✨ (the atmosphere also feels so private even though it isn’t… lovely feels)“
