22 Best Diners in New York

“This small inviting diner has great classic dishes, deserts and service with a price that makes it the best value in the area. It has an eclectic feel with both a bar and table service area. A single outdoor table for two is great for “people watching” if thats your thing. Alcohol is available.“

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

“Excellent diner overall. Highly recommend.“

“It looks like a greasy spoon sort of diner cafe. A neighborhood place. The meatloaf was good. The iced coffee was ok. The service was impeccable. It looks a little rundown but you don't go there for ambiance. I will return to try something else.“

“Delicious food and very nice service from Rebecca. I had a party of 6, with some vegetarians, and someone who had to eat something gentle on the stomach. We sat at the bar and our server, Rebecca, was super nice, attentive, bilingual (which was helpful for our group), and gave great food recommendations.

I ordered the braised short rib 5/5 would order again in a heartbeat, especially for the price. Comes with brasato sauce a lemon vinaigrette, perfect for cutting the richness. Some of our party ordered veggie burgers, others ordered chicken noodle soup. I also ordered a mocha.

Definitely eat here if you’re in the area and in the mood for comfort food this winter!“

“Classic American diner, lovin it“

“I can’t believe there is no reviews on this diner on Facebook. We stepped in tonight had Ronnie as our server and the food and atmosphere was outstanding. Thank you all for the wonderful meal! We now have a reason to return to NYC just to visit this diner and get their smashburger!“

“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.“

“Delicious food. You get a lot of food for the price. Great NYC diner!“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“Have wanted to come here for a while and I’m so glad I finally made it . From the chef to the delivery guy everyone here is personable ,kind and efficient . Very clean and lots and lots of food options . Be sure to check out their dessert fridge too . Loved sitting at the bar and hearing the guy who answers the phone be so patient with people ordering over the phone . Everyone that came in seems to know the owners and I love that . This will be my new go to diner for sure . Thank you for a great experience Silver Star . See you soon“

“Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!“

“It's great, but it's SO expensive. I got an omelette which came with hash browns and toast-- $35 after tax, tip, and fees!!!

The chorizo omelette was very tasty. Staff was kind.

I would go again, but only occasionally because of the price. The reason is there are other high-end restaurants where I could have a fancier meal for a similar price, but that said I did still enjoy the food and the experience.“

“Truly a slice of old NYC. Old-style eggs and burger menu. They also do have salads various parmigiana. Highly energetic Asian waitress. You will pay less if you pay in cash. This this place isn't going to win a Michelin star, but you will get a good meal cheap. Support these Mom and Pop independent businesses or they will be supplanted by soulless corporate mediocrity.“

“fabulous place, fabulous staff, really made our 2 day trip to New York really memorable, we stayed next door, and ate and drank here, definitely worth visiting, food is very good and great menu, and drinks and atmosphere is soooo nice,“

“NY Diner - classic and authentic. Great food and service. If you want to avoid a tourist trap, this is the place. We went for breakfast, my teenage daughters wanted the American pancake experience, and that's what they got. Me .. nice pastrami with eggs and a lot of coffee. Hector's delivered what we wanted from the location, service, food and experience as tourists seeking authenticity.

Kid-friendliness: No problem

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor directly off the street, not sure how wide the front door is“

“Amazing experience. We went twice during our trip to NYC. Milkshakes are perfect. The cokes are amazing. We had many cherry cokes. Treat your self.“

“Ordered the truffle and roma omelette . Came with house hash potatoes and bread. Delicious food, service was quick and the omelette was prepared fresh. Also saw a lot of orders for their pancakes that looks delicious but we were too full after the eggs. The serving size was decent.“

“Delicious food, super fast service, casual dining.“
