This was a wonderful place to visit! We had breakfast, and the portions were so large and filling that we couldn't eat all of them. The service was impeccable, and the owner/manager was a gem! He was so attentive and kind and took care of every need of the customers. We would definitely come back if we had time on our trip!

Large portions and friendly staff. Place was packed yet food arrived quickly

The service and accommodation were outstanding; the food was mediocre and came out so fast, we wondered if it had been microwaved.

Dont serve corned beef in this area, dry and hard, cold AWFUL! Came a long way to eat one. What a disappointment! Waiter nowhere to be found!

I love this diner because the burgers and the fries are amazing and I took my family there. I had family visiting from Australia and they loved every single thing on the menu.

Large portions, worth the wait? However once seated service is prompt. Beware, a reservation just puts you ahead on a wait list and you still need to wait at peak times. Hard for a disabled person as no place to " park" while waiting but instructed to " stand in line" by a counter.

The corned beef sandwich was just plain blah, the bread was soggy and the meat was sliced too thick. However the French fries were incredibly delicious

Becca

I was very impressed by the service and the food. The booths are tight if you get seated in one which is my only complaint, I felt the table was like up against my chest the whole time and it made moving around to help my children eat a little difficult, but due to how great the service was, how fast the food came out, and how delicious it was, we would absolutely go back and I highly recommend it! We went to breakfast on our way to the Central Park Zoo and it was the perfect location!

On every visit to NYC 5 friends from Oregon, Texas, Tennessee and Connecticut enjoy their last breakfast together at Carnegie Diner. Menu has many choices, food is delicious, hustle and bustle of the restaurant is fun, and the price is right. In November we plan to have dinner there one night before theater.

The customer service was incredible. The food was great, orange juice, French toast and everything we ordered was delicious. It's super crowded but they move fast. I would recommend going

Ate breakfast earlier in the day, so it had to be good enough for our group to return for a late lunch (convenient to hotel). Everyone's food was good, again, massive portions. Several took food home. Only down-side was our server, who seemed a bit annoyed even before we became remotely annoying. Wasn't very pleasant, probably just having a bad day. Non-stop tourists are probably a pain to deal with.

Excellent food. Always busy there staff is friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed it! We do not live in NYC however we came in just to have lunch there! Nostalgic! We highly recommend!

Had to fight thru a group of people waiting to be seated for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Most didn't want to hear our group had a reservation. Inside, the host/greeter was a bit rude telling myself and another guest who indicated they were checking in for a reservation that we had to prove it. Produced a printed confirmation and had my phone available. Entire group was fortunate to be seated together, which we weren't expecting- thank you for that. Portions were unbelievable (large), wish I hadn't eaten the nite before. Food was good all around, no one from our party had any complaints. Server was attentive, friendly and patient with us. All in all, a good experience overall because we returned for a late lunch later the same day due to the convenient location.

We were in NY for a week. So thankful we happened upon this diner! We had brunch there 2 days, and drinks before a play. The food was amazing, as were the drinks, but the best part was the staff!! I loved the vinaigrette on the brunch greens that accompanied my omelet. Would LOVE to know the brand or the recipe! Eat here! You'll be happy you did!

Made reservations morning of and was sat within minutes of getting there. Love that they have a kids menu. Food came out very quickly and was so good! One of my favorite breakfast meals I had while in NYC. Had a vanilla latte that was very good as well. Can’t wait to go back!
