I've been to GRAY'S Papaya for at least 40 years at 72nd Street Broadway. Been going there with my mom, sister and godfather since I was at least 10 years old. Always buying hotdogs and a drink. Flash forward 2025 I'm 59 years old. I never bought breakfast there. So after working an overnight shift I decided try breakfast at GRAY'S. I came in and stood behind a customer in front of me at 8:05am. To my surprise and disappointment, Some 20+ takes the order of someone just walking in. I tell him how I was amazed that he skipped me. He didn't apologize, he just was rude. Saying should he take my order or, take the next customer. So I walked out, I bought breakfast from a nearby vendors food cart. After patronizing GRAY'S for 40 years today's attempted breakfast there was very disappointing. I'll be letting my friends & colleagues about it. I deserve better treatment than that.
GRAY'S should make sure their employees treat the customer right and address them properly. No breakfast recommendation from me. I shouldn't have to ask for an apology it should've been given automatically. He should ask himself, if someone did what he did to me, how he would like it. I'm sure he would complain about the customer service.

The hot dogs are excellent

Too bad, a homeless person collects food in the restaurant without anyone intervening

Do not believe the hype!

What an incredible disappointment after everything I read online. The staff's attitude was outright ridiculous and the hotdog itself was just nothing special. Especially the bun was terrible as it was both soggy and dried out at the same time somehow. In fact, I was so disappointed that after finishing the hotdog I immediately bought another one from the nearest food truck I could find just to compare. Honestly, is was pretty much the same. It also was nothing special, but it was sold to me with a considerably better attitude.

In conclusion, just buy a hotdog anywhere else instead.

For those looking for a quick and cheap option, it's ok. The bread is tasty, but the sausage is very strong and greasy. I prefer the hot dog from Shake Shake, which costs the same.

A place to eat standing up. The juice is well-served and tasty.

Possibly the best hot dog I've ever had. However, the waiters speak English with an accent that's hard to understand and are NOT friendly at all. Even so, it's worth a visit.

Hotdogs are ready fast so If you see a line don’t worry it will move fast. I do recommend the papaya drink and piña colada. The restaurant has a lot of people coming in and out so it is a little messy but I guess it’s part of the experience. Tipping is optional but the cashier expects it.

Advertises as "Open 24 Hours" but a fading paper sign in the window says 8am-10pm.

The guys there are very nice and professional. I got two dogs with mustard and sour kraut.
The kraut was weirdly flavorless. But it is exactly what it claims to be.

The hot dogs were fine but just a hot dog. They were small and I was able to eat each one in about 3 bites. A little expensive for such a little snack. I got the 2 hot dogs and a drink for $7.50. I had to try it since my wife is a fan of the movie Fool's Rush In and the character LOVES Gray's Papaya hot dogs. Nothing to write home about but not bad.
