About Diner

Diner is a restaurant known for its amazing culinary experience and warm, friendly service. The menu features a variety of dishes, from beet salad and country pâté to scrambled eggs and eggs with beans, all cooked to perfection. The pork, cheeseburger, and half chicken are standout entrées. For sides, try the polenta with wild mushrooms. The restaurant offers a constantly updated farm-to-table menu, with some core staples like the burger and Caesar salad. Because they source different local ingredients based on availability, the menu shifts frequently, but the staff always provides great recommendations and detailed menu explanations. The converted antique railcar diner adds a unique vibe, and it's easy to access from NYC by ferry or subway. Despite tight seating, the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it a popular spot for any meal. Recent reviews highlight delicious dishes like mussels with beans and a perfectly cooked rare steak, as well as excellent service and a good wine list.
The restaurant provides an elevated diner experience, with the best burger and fries and a Bloody Mary often praised by guests. The atmosphere is great for both brunch and dinner. The staff, especially the waiter Benjamin, creates a personal and special feeling, making each visit memorable. Diners can enjoy a variety of dishes, including crudo, which is fresh and paired with an insane garlicky dip, and a robust Caesar salad with perfect anchovy dressing. The brick chicken is a showstopper, crispy and flavorful, cooked with skill. Dessert options like ice cream, especially the Wendy’s Ice Cream Sundae with chocolate, cherries, and Bordeaux, are decadent and nostalgic, leaving guests drooling. Overall, Diner offers a dining experience that is both elevated and full of character, thanks to excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The kitchen cooks dishes that taste homemade but better, and the staff maintains exceptional standards. Many visitors plan to return soon, impressed by the memorable meals and welcoming environment.

Bad service.

Bad food.

Outrageous Price.

Fraudulous practice. They charge more on your credit card than on your bill.

The manager is rude and a liar, . We asked about food without pork. The waitress told us that all meat is made from pig, even pastrami is made from pork. But the manager came and said that it is not a pig, but I just pointed my finger at the waiter. I said but she said that it is a pig at this moment. He got angry and kicked us out of restaurants and said, “I don’t care what you want to write about us. In your review

We were recommended this diner on the plane to New York and it didn't disappoint. Great servers, always smiling and happy to help. Delicious food and a great place to spend some time.
