“Jersey City's finest! best sliders anywhere! Classic!“

“Everything tasted amazing!!!!! the crab rangoons are so delicious and perfectly flavored, it is a treat every time i order them for an amazing price too!!! the sesame chicken had a great flavor and is not too sweet, the general tso chicken is perfectly spicy and tender. there are no little crumbly pieces as i would usually get at most take out!! the coke cans (diet) were nice and cold, and the veggie low mein noodles were perfectly dry and flavorful and HOMEMADE? (although the lettuce is weird sorry). the dumplings in chili oil taste super authentic and have a greattttt flavor. i loved everything here and i would order 10000 percent again. never change !! (besides the lettuce)

Vegetarian options: all the tofu options are sooo delicious!! super crispy and delicate.“

“Everything you want in a dinner. Brown panels, old style billboard menu, bar stools and booths. It looks like its out of the 80s or 90s. I love it. A healthy serving of Western Omelette and Gritz for the now current price of $10. Definitely going back“

“Parking lot was what we needed, but the food was excellent. Great service and the breakfast was excellent: French toast, pancakes, sandwich with bacon, Taylor ham, and eggs. Easy access to/from the highway.

Kid-friendliness: Staff was amazingly helpful with our 1 year old.“

“I come here every sunday morning or afternoon for breakfast. I usually call ahead to pick up and the food is usually ready 15 minutes after the order is placed. Today I ordered pork sausage, scrambled eggs and home fries. Sometimes I get cheese grits but the consistency isn't there with it so my safe option is home fries. The breakfast platter comes with toast and it cost less than $12. The burgers here are okay too but the plain cheesecake I would not recommend. The atmosphere is bustling with people and attentive servers and it has an old school feel to it. They also have specials if you dine in so go give it a try.“

“Exceptional eatery! Diner style all the way. Had eggs and corned beef hash with potatoes. Grapefruit juice (tropicana) and took a cinnamon roll with me (the best). Hash was not crispy but LOVELY that way, eggs were done just right, over medium, the heavily buttered rye toast dipped provided excellent yolk dips. Potatoes were abundant, and had morsels of pepper and onion. Ketchup exploded on me a lil..(can't put the bottles in the fridge). However they were attentive and apologetic following the incident.
I made my return for a waffle, the way it had tantalized my nostrils on the previous visit was inspiring of such. Waffle with banana was perfect. Filling, fluffy, crispy, sweet and savory.
p.s. ask for the salsa verde :)
Thank you for providing a wonderful service. Will be returning as able!“

“I really enjoyed this place. It has some retro charm. It even had a Photos booth and the food was good. The desserts were amazing. Largest milkshake I’ve ever seen in person and the staff was really nice and friendly and Alfredo the manager was really good guy.“

“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.“

“1st time visiting,the staff were lovely and food amazing On my next visit I will be back“

“I wasn't looking for a quick bite on the hottest day of the year. I was tired of waking and just wanted a diner, not far from where I was...Joe Jr. Popped up on Google maps and I was so happy it did. It was quiet, quaint and old skool diner. They had the world cup on it was perfect. A bacon double cheeseburger with onion rings and lemonade hit the spot. Absolutely Perfect!“

“Dishes packed with flavor and texture. My favorite was the Zorba, everything is high quality and balance of flavors. We got the blueberry pancake and it was fluffy and heavenly.

The ambiance of the place is perfect, with every detail thought through and music perfect to have as background noise. Loved it!“

“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.“

“Instantly became my favorite diner spot in NYC on first visit. Solid coffee. Breakfast burritos were my favorite! Also ordered Parmesan truffle fries and lemon ricotta pancakes that were decent, minus the wow factor. Scrambled eggs were perfect.

Small space. We waited 15 minutes on a Sunday morning before 11am. Our waitress was super impatient/borderline rude, yet I left knowing I will be coming back again.“

“On June 7, my family visited Empire Diner for dinner. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. I can't remember the gentleman's name; however, he was very attentive. He checked in often. He was polite and friendly. I ordered the King Salmon dish. It was tasty. I would visit again.“

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

“Squire’s Diner is one of those places that reminds you why local diners are still the best. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. You can tell care goes into the food, and the portions were generous too. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, satisfied, and already thinking about what you’ll order next time.

The service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. No complaints here.

If you’re looking for good comfort food, reasonable prices, and a hometown diner vibe, Squire’s Diner is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for sure!“

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

“Left this diner feeling like a regular after just one visit. The owner has the kind of personality that instantly makes you feel at home. That energy runs through the whole staff, who were friendly and genuine. Had the wings and the Philly cheesesteak, both items were great. Between the hospitality and the cooking, this place is a gem. I’ll be back.“

“Highly recommend!

I booked a large group reservation here for a surprise birthday dinner, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The food was excellent, and throughout the night our friends kept commenting on how delicious everything was.

A special shoutout to Antonio, our server, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. The rest of the staff were also exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had a group of 20 people, and they handled our orders in a very organized manner. Despite the size of our party, the food came out quickly and everything was accurate.

Thanks to the outstanding service, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the celebration. I brought a birthday cake, and the staff helped set it up with candles and even sang with us. It was such a thoughtful, heartwarming gesture that made the night even more special.

The restaurant is conveniently located near Lincoln Center, making it a great choice before or after a show. Plus, they're open early and late every day, which makes planning easy.

We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back. Thank you to Antonio and the entire team for helping make the birthday celebration so memorable!“

“This diner is excellent. Food and service fantastic. Great vibe! We came to NY from London for Christmas and my son's 40th and wanted an iconic diner. Thank you to Genevieve and staff for your fantastic welcome! Sarah“

“The stuff are accommodating and nice.“

“Amazing breakfast and we where very well looked after👍💵good price“

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

“Delicious food, friendly people, reasonable prices.“

“Delivery order for 10 people. Not easy. My expectations were low - but the order was right! Hard to identify when you didn't choose the item, so writing on the cover what it is would be welcomed. Other than that it was excellent! We will be ordering again.“

“Staff was super attentive and kind. Even offered to turn up the temperature when I’d mentioned to my friend I was cold (I declined but an appreciated gesture).

Unfortunately the jerk chicken fell short for me. It was very dry. I also ordered a margarita that was quite sour and unbalanced.

The four stars are for the service!“

“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.“

“Please make your next night out at Crispin's. I came here on a Friday night on a fluke because it was raining and got sangria to pass the storm. It quickly turned into wine, free bread, and the best pappardelle bolognese I've had (and priced so well at $18 for fresh pasta). The owner was so great, and I genuinely hope his business succeeds as much as he was so nice to me. Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food and service, highly recommended“

“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.“

“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)“

“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!“

“Todo el tiempo Comida exquisita deliciosa. Visiten para probar😋deli☺️“

“Nick is the most authentic and genuine guy. His passion for his diner translates to everything he does, and how he operates his business.
Wicked pickles. Even better hot sauce(s).

Don’t sleep on this one!“
