“I was pleasantly surprised at my meal. I had the combo chicken and eggplant parm over linguini . It was tasty and a nice size portion . It also came with a salad for 18 dollars and change. I must admit I was disappointed with the lack of the salad bar this diner was known for. Covid killed off too many staples. Maybe that's why the diner was empty on a Saturday night?“
“Perfect experience of a typical diner!Super generous portions, tasty dishes and a warm welcome!I tried the garnished salmon fillet: I've never had such a large quantity on my plates + a super good split pea soup!If I didn't live 6000km away, I would make this place my canteen!“
“Mama Jo’s gives plenty of positive energy by the morning!Best egg and cheese with bacon bagel sandwich I had in NYC, amazing and special donuts with different flavours, and many homemade options on the bucket list (definitely trying as much as possible in the future).The black coffee is also amazing and have all the alternative options for regular milk.I am absolutely in love with this best breakfast cart in NYC!“
“Incredible experience! Okay you have to queue for an hour to get a place but it's worth it. The prices are correct for NY and given the show offered by the servers. The dishes are good and it's very funny to see his waiter bring us our order then continue with singing or do both at the same time. I highly recommend, a must when visiting NY.“
“Went on a Sunday & it was packed! For good reason. They had an a DJ playing great music, the food was good, the aesthetic is a VIBE. Only reason 4/5 was service. Our waiter wasn’t the friendliest/ attentive. Other than that- definitely going back!“
“We stumbled upon this diner on a quick overnight trip to NYC. It’s everything we were looking for, delicious food made quick with excellent service. The owner at the front was greeting everyone like old friends and you could just feel the sense of community. He seemed to know most people by name. We split a Philly cheesesteak and a BLT sandwich for lunch. They were both excellent. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!“
“Walked in and sat down immediately. Ordered food with in 5 minutes for 4 and was served in under 10 minutes. Food was all great service was exceptional. I would totally recommend this place and will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.“
“Very unfriendly waitress or like a prison door?and finally, given the friendliness of the waitress, we didn't leave any tips, the owner called us to order saying that in NYC tips are obligatory.. .I replied that given the friendliness of the waitress I wouldn't leave any.I hope my bill will not be inflated because I paid by contactless credit card...with signature...To be continued!In short... no comment!“
“Had breakfast there twice. Once solo and the next time with my wife. Consecutive Tuesdays. Just there this morning, after the golf range at Chelsea Piers. It's a combination of Greek and Mexican specialties. I have sampled the eggs overeasy with corned beef and this time had three poached eggs with fresh tomato and feta, home fries and coffee. All wonderful. My wife had fried eggs with ham on top of grilled taco. She loved it. This is a top notch diner with excellent service.“
“Breakfast Burrito and Red Flannel Hash with chunks of real corned beef, not has out of a can, and low sodium) and cubed sweet potatoes and beets! Generous portions, very tasty food. Friendly service, innovative menu. And if you are staying in the very nearby Club Wyndham Midtown 45) you get a free 10% discount (after showing your room key).“
“I visited this place for the first time this past Sunday since I work right next door and let me tell you ??? AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! the kids there were so polite and so was the chef making the food right in front of me !!!! Hashbrowns are my favorite diner food and I have never had better than those! It’s great to know this place has been open forever and I can definitely see why! Keep up the good work ? “
“Had our breakfast here every day during our recent 5 day stay in NYC. Worth the wait some mornings. Friendly staff, especially Josie - beautiful, smiley, friendly and welcoming. Tasty, filling, great value for money breakfasts - set us up for the day.“
“It's a diner and exactly what you would expect only no greasy spoons! It's clear the the owner hires cooks who love the food they prepare and the servers like being there.I didn't use the bathrooms but everything else seemed clean. We got the Reuben sandwich and Impossible burger with fries and onion rings.Fresh and hot with swift service and great portion sizes! The fries were hot but with lots of fry nuggets (underachieving bits smaller than my little finger). The onion rings were perfect as were the sandwiches. I added Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.We would definitely come back!Vegetarian options: Impossible burger“
“Before I went back to college after spring break, me and my family took a stop at the Colonial Diner to get some food for diner, driving into the parking lot and getting seated pretty quickly. There were a good amount of other people in the diner, so getting a seat quickly was nice. Service wasn't anything special, but I don't really mind.The atmosphere of the diner is great, a very retro feel like it just came out of the early to mid 1900s. It was a cozy vibe. We got the 21 shrimp, breakfast burger, french toast, and some fish that was a special- sorry for forgetting the name. Really liked my breakfast burger and my sister's french toast. The shrimp was pretty basic though, and I think the fish could've been seasoned a bit better (it still tasted good!).Overall a pretty good place to drop into if you're looking for an affordable bite with a nice vibe.“
“Burgers and Chinese food at one place, never would have thought! Burgers were good, big and juicy, and relatively inexpensive. The "caramelized onions" were those fried onions you get from a can and not really caramelized onions. But for 10 bucks with fries and a can of soda, im ok with it.“
“EAT HERE!! It’s my first time in NYC, and this place is my go-to. I’ve come here for breakfast & dinner. It’s clean, BIG food portions (delicious food), the staff is VERY friendly and kind. It’s also in a safer area as well, I haven’t encountered any problems around here. I recommend this place!! 10/10“
“We had lunch here, and sat outside on a lovely fall day. Service was a bit funky -- not bad at all, but somewhat forgetful -- but the staff was friendly, apologetic when appropriate, and enjoyable. The food was very good. Classic old-style diner with a broad-ranging menu. Everything we had was well-prepared, tasty, and served hot. I'll go back. A little gem.“
“First breakfast of our trip brought us to this diner afew blocks from our hotel.We were seated immediately and served straight away. We opted for the Sunday brunch which is available from 10am and at $22 per person, was value for money.Would highly recommend this place if you are visiting and in the area“
“Stopped in for a quick breakfast (and also to get out of the rain). Had a booth to myself just before the early lunch crowd started arriving. Went with a 3-egg turkey bacon omelette. Chose home fries and rye toast to accompany it. Also, ordered an orange juice as I had had my morning coffee already. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Not a bad diner if you are in the area...“
“The check in was a tad chaotic, even with a reservation, but it was a Sunday morning after all. However the Carnegie overcame my initial skeptical impression by offering excellent service with vast portions of food for a fair price in an expensive city. I would definitely return in the future.“
“Coming off a 13 hour flight from Hawai'i, this place was PERFECT and felt almost like home. Homemade food, welcoming service and reasonable prices! Actually very low prices. I noticed everyone knew the patrons names, greeting them by first name as they walked in. This place is a golden gem. Everyone is welcome here! Mahalo !“
“Todays breakfast was enjoyed at The Golden Grill Restaurant in Teaneck, NJ. It's a cute breakfast nook tucked amongst a row stores and shops on a busy road in Teaneck, but the vibe is homey and comfortable. The staff is super down to earth and have this bustling little restaurant working like clockwork. The prices were great and the food was stick to your ribs good. We wound up ordering the following menu items: - chicken noodle soup - corned beef hash with eggs and grits - Smoked ham and eggs - hot chocolate“
“Bendix diner is like stepping back into time. It's nice to see an old school diner like this. Don't let it's facade fool you into thinking that the food is greasy or average. Quite the contrary, the quality of food is very good, the portions are of good size and the prices are reasonable. There are artisan hot sauces on each table and counter, the syrup is maple syrup only but with cool flavors like Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, habanero and others. Also the tea, they use premium tea leaves. All of that struck me as odd in a good way. The owner John and his son Michael are wonderful. They are attentive and provide good service. Their food is excellent. I had a turkey club there that rivaled 4 star hotel restaurants. It's truly a hidden gem“
“Argentine-run restaurant almost hidden on 37th Av. in Long Island City. We got there with google maps. Very warm and friendly welcome in a typical American spacious environment. The proposal is very rich as well as tasty and plentiful for a light or more substantial breakfast suitable for a day on tour in New York. Lower than average prices. Advised.“
“This was not my 1st trip to NYC but it was my 1st trip to the diner. It was very busy but the gentleman Nick that was running the door was so nice and helpful. He did an amazing job at getting people seated quickly. The food was sensational. This will definitely be on list of must haves when I am in the city. 100% recommend the Carnegie Diner & Cafe.“
“Small homey diner with good food and good coffee. They have a wide variety of menu items including health conscious options and a natural smoothie bar. The customer service was excellent. The staff was attentive, warm, and kind. The inside is small but cozy. A great spot for a coffee date, friend date, or solo date.“
“this place is an awesome burger time capsule. The burgers are made to order and fantastic Smashburger. Now this place is CASH ONLY and don’t be afraid to order when you want more, the cook has a great personality lol . If in the area check it out“
“This is a very good old school diner. I've been coming here for years. They are always courteous and the food is reliable. I was in the mood for grilled chicken with honey mustard on a roll. It wasn't on their menu as that but they were more than happy to make it for me. They have a number of daily specials and they are different all the time so you can be a regular without getting bored.“
“High number of Google reviews are justified. Loved this diner! Fajita omelette and banana pancakes were really good. Fortunately there was no waiting over the Easter weekend. Sit by the windows, and enjoy some good sunshine while having your brunch. Service was a bit slow as we had to remind about our orders thrice, but the staff was very pleasant to work with. Great place for brunch!“
“This diner was nice and had a very old school atmosphere. It's not my type but if it is then a good place. Food was good but not as good as other diners I've been to. Overall would recommend going here for a more classic feeling diner.“
“My husband and I was first introduced to diner by fiends. We had the cheeseburgers and fries. They were delicious. The waiter was so friendly and funny. He kept us happy the hold time. We had dinner there on Wednesday night. The chicken pot pie was so delicious. The Manager remembered us when we made our reservations. And made sure they saved me one. Because they run out quickly. That because they are so delicious and filling. Thanks to all the staff you all are marvelous“
“Best breakfast value in the area. Serves real home fries, not the low budget frozen hashed browns like other local diners. They have tons of regulars, a testament to the quality and consistency. One negative - the server(woman) is always in a bad mood and it shows.“
“Fantastic!!! This place is AWESOME. Food is delicious. Staff are super friendly. Seating is comfortable. Atmosphere is great. The manager is a genius for making people feel welcome: me; my friends; the other customers too. You can see it. It’s not just because I’m so cool. :^] It’s very very nice to come to a restaurant where there is so much quality and also so much in the way of personality. Top picks for me: -Romanian Steak (well worth the price) -Pancakes (incredible) Did I mention that the staff here is wonderful? Outgoing. Attentive. Yay!!“
“This place is a 10/10! I definitely recommend this restaurant. I come to New Jersey often to see family and they always told me about this diner. I finally decided to visit and am very happy with the result. The atmosphere is awesome and I see they have other locations that I plan to visit too!“
“A hidden gem in this community. Always feels cozy, always friendly, and always attentive. From their Belgium Waffles w/ Chicken Tenders to their Taylor Ham w/ cheese & eggs to their Oatmeal with mix fruits, all splendid! I’ve been here for years and at no time have I ever walked away upset. Excellent service to top it off, thank you!“

“Need a quick cup of coffee or their famous "Tower" breakfast sandwich then head to Abbie's. This small restaurant has 4 tables and about 6 bar stools. They have great pancakes and a good cup of coffee. Many locals go here for their morning caffeine hit and local news. People call in their orders and run in and pick up. It's a "guy" kind of place and many local landscapers, and tradesmen are getting a great breakfast sandwich and coffee on the run for a very reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend it if you're going with your girlfriends though.“
“Thank you so much for having vegan options at this classic nyc deli. We ordered the Unreal turkey and corned beef sandwiches. It was more expensive than I expected, but it looked like there were two whole packages of Unreal meat in each sandwich. And I was so full after I didn’t have to eat the rest of the day. Very kind, generous people.“
“The food is alway delicious but unfortunately with everything else, it's way too expensive... I ordered a Leo omelette with avocados and a bagel, nothing to drink and was close to $30. that will have to be my last time. I'll miss it but it's not worth that price.“
“Very pleasant diner experience, with good food and excellent service. Reasonable prices and all-day food items make this place an excellent option for dining in this area and a great value - There is something to eat for everyone.Vegetarian options: Lots of salads, cold items and pasta dishes. They also offer a veggie burger.“
“Walking into Jimbo’s Hamburger Place is less liking walking into a place than it is like walking into a hamburger. You inhale hamburger steam. You see through hamburger vapor. You are having a hamburger sauna. You’re engulfed by the greasy haze of decades of hamburger. You believe you’re getting a film. If you’re a fairly antiseptic person you will tell yourself to flee. But since you want a really good hamburger, you will tell yourself to sit. You will allow yourself to drift back into fifties luncheonette culture. You will be rewarded with “The Best Chopmeat Money Can Buy.”“
“Great neighborhood spot with standard fare. Definitely a spot worth checking out for breakfast/brunch. They are currently renovating/expanding part of their dining area so ESPRESSO DRINKS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I would call ahead to see if they're back on the menu if it's a deal breaker for you. Good variety of food and super quick service no matter how packed it may be. They are also fairly accommodating if you need to adjust/remove an item from a dish or two.“
“Service was great at the New York Luncheonette. The menu is mostly standard diner fare, and the food is as you'd expect. Seating is close, so any loud group makes it a loud experience for everyone else. Definitely stop in if you're looking for a nice diner meal, especially for breakfast.“
“Omg this place was delicious!! Such great service and Mario was an excellent waiter. He was patient and helped me find foods on the menu that were gluten free for my dietary restrictions. The food was quick and efficient. I appreciate this place so much! Please come and enjoy their fresh food! ❤️??I will be back again!!“

“I love when I see a tiny diner that seems out of place in NYC. Hector’s is still servicing simple, delicious breakfast.Delicious pancakes, but I wouldn’t spend extra to add blueberries. The pancakes had so few of them scattered around I almost forgot I ordered blueberry pancakes.“
“Meat loaf was very good. Turkey dinner very good. Large portions. Service ... very polite and friendly. Atmospere ... clean and tidy. Salads ... the good stuff, not iceberg, Try the starburst salad. Best diner around bar none. Trust me on this one.“
“Very nice address for this restaurant ?? we had lunch here for our last meal in NYC. Located very close to our hotel in the upper west side.Impeccable service. I recommend this place. We had a good lunch, my plates are well filled.You can go there with your eyes closed ?☺️“
