Midnight Express Diner is a classic American diner experience with a cozy, no-frills vibe. We ordered the house omelet, French toast, and a cheeseburger, all of which hit the spot. The coffee was solid—not fancy but exactly what you want from a diner.

Cozy diner with very hospitable staff! Portion sizes were also very generous. Highlight was the chocolate mousse milkshake. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

I had breakfast there once, I ordered two scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes and corned beef hash. The scrambled eggs, served soft, as requested, hardly had any taste. The mashed potatoes were very light in texture and without taste. The corned beef hash was very tasty, but about an hour later my stomach was bothering me. My two star food rating, seen above, is based on this dining experience only.

We’ve had diners come and go in this area for the last 20 years, but Midnight has been a staple. My go-to diner on the UES and there’s no close 2nd in terms of the quality of food. You guys are the best!

Midnight Express Diner is a gem—you truly can’t go wrong with anything you order! I’ve been there a few times, and let me tell you about my latest experience. For brunch, I went with my mom and nana, and everything was on point. I ordered the Banana Nut French Toast with scrambled eggs, and that French toast was heavenly—soft, fluffy, and the bananas were so fresh. Mom went for the classic—grits with cheese, two eggs sunny side up, and sliced tomatoes. Nana had the Mr. “Healthy” Omelette, which came with grilled potatoes. Everyone left satisfied!
For lunch, I had to try their BBQ Cheddar Bacon Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, and it did not disappoint. That burger was top-notch—juicy and flavorful, and those sweet potato fries were the perfect side. I topped it off with a Frosted Flake milkshake, and honestly, it was the cherry on top of a great meal.
Midnight Express Diner is a must-visit, whether you're craving breakfast or lunch—you just can’t go wrong!

We were out of towners receiving a late evening delivery of a Home cooked meal which arrived within 20 minutes and was hot. Meatloaf dinner was excellent and large portioned.

You really get your money's worth when it comes to portions! I had leftovers, which I am always grateful for. The chicken soup, one of the appetizers, was absolutely the best chicken soup I've had at a restaurant, no exaggeration. The chicken had to be rotisserie. This soup should be an entrée! And the gyro and fries I ordered were to die for! This is a new favorite place of mine for sure!
Best Belgian waffle I've had in a long time. Would eat here again!

A really solid UES diner, open 24/7. Simple and classic fare…full of locals. Nothing fancy. Great pancakes and French toast.
