“I really wanted a tasty burger. I've arrived. Nice, cozy...I took the burger. And they stuffed so much finely chopped grass into it that it felt like you weren’t eating meat, but had become a vegan...The chicken is delicious, the sauce is just greatFrench fries are very, very goodOverall a good place, but the burger was disappointing“
“Fantastic food, fun take on diner staples! Every dish is a version of something you might get somewhere else, just made excellent. Casual atmosphere, but also buzzy and fun. Make a reservation for dinner or get there early for brunch because it does get quite crowded. You probably won’t have a super long meal (food comes out quite quickly - just like a good diner!).“
“A perfect establishment—solid breakfast food, kind servers, and a vibe that reminds me of going to breakfast with my dad as a kid. Other diners in the city are at least twice as expensive and don’t provide half the warmth or charm of this place. Thank you thank you Mike’s!!!“
“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!“
“Amazing, uncomplicated food that's tasty and really good value. The challah bread is particularly good, and I love the potato soup. It's also a very welcoming place to eat if you're on your own - just take a seat at the counter!“
“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!“
“Excellent service and great atmosphere! Everyone is so attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and affordable. Their happy hour is really good. The drinks are well made and they are not cheap with the liquor.Well done guys, we will be back soon!!“
“Awesome brunch. Wait is really long on the weekend however and they only do walk-ins. Food came out slow and service left something to be desired but food mostly made up for it. I'd definitely try and come here more often if I lived closer and it wasn't as busy!“
“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!“
“Happened upon this restaurant with friends, and what a great find it was! Food was very good. I had the Enchiladas with their special Mole sauce. Excellent. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This will now be on my list of favorite restaurants to visit and recommend.“
“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.“
“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!“
“If you want old school nyc vibe this is the place. The pancakes were excellent. I wish they had real maple syrup but they were perfect without syrup so I didn’t care. Friendly fun staff. Passable coffee. I’d go back for breakfast again. Cash Only - I’d try other things too next time.“
“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).“
“Great local diner. Good service and good food. They made sure to accommodate our requests for no pork items( got turkey bacon and chicken sausage). Good coffee as well. Close to a little strip mall and other shops and on the way to JFK. Come here for breakfast often. Only complaint is that the parking lot gets packed sometimes as place is often busy and it’s kind of difficult at times to pull out of the place as it’s small.“
“A classic no frills diner, they had seating for my group of 5 immediately for 11 AM on a Saturday and was a really good price! I got the Spanish egg white omelette (which I still don't know what exactly was in it other than mushrooms and onions). It came with toast and home fries and although was a little on the oily side, was good and cheap! Quick service and hits the diner food itch.“
“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“
“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.“
“This was a happy accident for me. I booked this not realizing that it was a Vegan restaurant. Never having eaten vegan food before I was a bit apprehensive on whether I would enjoy....well I'm happy to say I not only enjoyed but LOVED the experience. How the heck you make a vegan bacon egg and cheese is beyond me but whatever magic they use is working. Delicious! Very cool vibe and decor and very friendly staff as a bonus.“
“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.“
“Top notch! I was skeptical of the high ratings since many of the places we've been to in Manhattan have been higher rated than I would give them but ZAZA'S has earned it. The turkey bacon was the best I've ever had and the French toast was divine. My husband also said it was 4.5 stars for him, the highest rating he voiced for any place we visited this trip.“
“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“
“I didn't get to take any photos but this was a great find for a late night meal. Have cash or Venmo app ready. We ordered tacos and burritos. Everything came out fresh and fast. Their chili sauce is fire and have just the right amount of heat. They ran out of horchata for me but I'll come back and try again!“
“This place has always had great food I have been eating here 20 plus years the weekend get super busy so be prepared to wait for a table they have the best lemonade around but if you're not in to sweet stuff like my wife don't get it or ask for less “
“we were very happy with our breakfast sandwiches! I had a few questions regarding coffee grinds. the man was knowledgeable and happy to share information! overall 10/10 :) Nice Latin American decor - also, very clean, organized and spacious cafe!“
“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...“
“This is a traditional NY style Greek diner, huge menu, coffee all day, porcelain booths, the works. Lots of seating including sides with fishbowl views of Westchester and Buhre Avenues ... If that is your thing. Such a place is a comfort for many, as it is for me.“
“We were looking for an original diner in this area.We went in not sure the expert as going to be worth the price of seating for lunch in NYC.We were welcomed and served so professionally and nicely by Fernando & Luis much beyond our expectations. Food was fresh, served generously and with great care.The Cobb salad was judge and excellent (only missing some blue cheese to be perfect!), I finished it the day after.Dietary restrictions: Parler au chef cuisinier, très adaptable !“
“I guarantee you aren't going to find a more diverse and amazing menu. So many choices and everything was so good. I got the Ruben served open face with your choice of pastrami or corned beef. I got the corned beef and the wife got pastrami. So good! The sweet potato fries, OMG. I don't know how they make them so good but I've never had better. Just trust me on this one, stop once and you'll go back.Parking: Easy to park when we went and it was free.“
“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 !“
“My friends and I came in for a quick brunch and were very happy we did! The server was super friendly and efficient, and the food was so much better than expected. The menu items we got were simple, classic breakfast items, but between the eggs all being cooked perfectly and the wonderful surprise of the cinnamon Belgian waffles, it was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. It's very no-frills good food.“
“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.“
“Est. 1995Layout/atmosphere*Orange painted walls/yellow painted windows; mostly booths; bar in back with coffee station, wine bottles & cakes (no seating); enclosed outdoor dining area in front of entrance on sidewalk; tables out on sidewalk on Bethune StService*SolidFood/drink*Sunny Side Eggs on Focaccia (two eggs, turkey, avocado & arugula) - good; solid bread, runny egg, crunch of the arugula*Blueberry muffin - really good; came out still warm; soft but still some texture in each bite; no add-ons needed“
“It’s an oasis in Canarsie Brooklyn. Much sweet or unsweetened juices and salads. Thank you Mellissa original, Mellisa’s sister number one and number two. You are all efficient business women and fine young ladies. This is the best American diner in the middle of hard working New Yorkers.“
“What a great experience!! Fun, energetic and great food!! George, the Owner, was polite, and he knew his clientele by name, service was great, the lady behind the counter was a machine!! Great Food, fresh Hollandaise sauce, nice portions and great atmosphere!! Will be back“
“Tucked away old school diner.Had breakfast 4 times.Service was super nice on the first two days.On the other two days also nice but a bit taciturn...The food was delicious, fresh and the portion size was completely OK.Pancakes were super tasty, as were the omelettes.Price ok for Manhattan.For 4 people, expect to pay $75-80 with tip.“

And then a few times after that . It's the cutest little spot with amazing food. This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts: the host made me feel welcomed. Even though they are very busy, everyone pay attention to your needs , always efficient and polite . delicious dishes: I enjoyed every single bite of the meal ! -Soup and pasta were so flavorful. -Best Buffalo wings I ever had -- so so crunchy outside, moist and tender inside AND BEST IF ALL , I am so grateful you put the sauce on the Side , so I can adjust the tangy and spicy taste depending on my preference -Cheeseburger grilled perfectly , so juicy and mouthwatering. -Waffle: mine was golden-brown in color, with a crispy outer texture and a soft interior. - grilled cheese sandwich : perfectly toasted slices stuffed with melting cheese ,It’s worth every single last crumb! and , extensive menu : breakfast, lunch and dinner menu , from comfort food to vegetarian options. They also offer wine , juices, coffee and tea So ,Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant , Highly recommend! I would definitely come back here again and again.“
“Homey diner spot in the neighborhood and it’s a real gem. Kinda hard to notice from the store front but inside is a bustling and welcoming family-owned diner. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick to serve. Their coffee is delicious and I have yet to find a dish that I wasn’t satisfied with. Tried the corned hash with eggs and it was yum :) The chicken salad triple decker sandwich was also delicious. The food is always made fresh and super filling! Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! Thanks for the great service!“
“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.“
“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 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.“
“Lovely, inconspicuous place on the edge of nyc chinatown. Seems to be mostly visited by locals. Only place we visited twice during our last week trip.Service was incredibly nice and helpful, food was great as well as coffee ??Unbelievably fluffy blueberry pancakes, worth-a-sin eggs&beacon waffle and perfect, classy breakfast burrito. My personal recommendation though? Peanut butter milkshake “
“I love everything about this place. They deliver to my house when I’m lazy on Sundays and I brought two of my kids there and they’re very picky and they love it. Also, the quality of the food you would think that the prices would be way more than they are. This place is a hidden gem. I don’t understand why it’s not packed all the time.“
“I have been coming to George's for many years now whether it is for dine-in or take-out. I have always gotten fantastic service and great food. The staff is warm, welcoming and treat every customer with the utmost respect. The restaurant itself is very clean, even before our current COVID situation. They take this pandemic very seriously and they make sure that they follow all the protocols suggested by the CDC and our State Government. They have been in business for over 60 years and I hope that this institution will be around for another 60+ years. #supportlocal“
“From the moment I enter this coffee shop I felt welcomed. The owner greeted me and asked my request. My favorite breakfast is oatmeal made with water and I was thrilled that was how it was made. The waitress came and introduced herself and made me feel like a found a new place for my Breakfast. I’m used to another diner but my hairdresser moved across from this coffee shop. Coffee and a buttered roll for my husband and a special I hope you come back. The oatmeal was delicious and made to perfection and the experience brightened my day. I’ll be back.

“My wife and I, wanted to experience a different place to eat from. After searching Google search, she decided to go to this diner after reading their reviews.This was our first time visiting "The Classic Diner." When we arrived to the location there was a small parking lot. I looked at my wife like," Where the h--- you bought me to! She payed no attention to my expression. She went to the back of the car and pulled out my wheelchair, then we proceeded to the Diner. We was greeted by the owner who directed us to our table. That's where all the fun began. Our waiter who goes by the name Tino, was very professional wrapped in a sense of humor made our dining experience that much enjoyable. As we sat and talked, our meals came, it was more than we expected. Half fry chicken, cooked to perfection alongside large French toast, coffee and juice. Couldn't eat all the chicken, so we got a to-go plate. We really enjoyed ourselves.Thanks to The Classic Diner.We will be back!“
“Bhabeeta was our server and she was great. The food was delicious and came out quick. I gave the food 4 stars because I had the Classic Benny and the egg yolks weren't runny as they should be and the hollandaise was a thicker than it should be. Other then that it was delicious. I would definitely go back.“
