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.
November 2024
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.
October 2024
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!
