Old-school diner feel. Absolutely solid no-frills place. Possibly the best diner in the Upper East Side with The Mansion.
Big portions, good service, and very reasonable prices.
Savoury options are usually the best choice.
A neighborhood favorite! I love to come here for breakfast or late night dinner. The staff is warm and welcoming. The lumber jack pancakes, salmon Benedict’s and turkey club are my favorites.
The restaurant has deteriorated significantly. Instead of the Angus meat I ordered, they served me a lesser quality cut. I no longer recommend this establishment.
Absolutely Horrid.
Unfriendly Staff.
Like they are doing tou a favor.
Overcharging.ALL THE TIME.
Things on their menu they do not even have ,- they take the order for ,- do not deliver ,- but you get charged anyway!!
They assume the customers do not notice.
There’s not much 24hr competition …in that area so they get away with it especially after midnight deliveries get messed up,- and overcharged. Nice system. They figure tired customers don’t notice .They are right. Many times we actually do not even look bec it’s food for later… so later on one forgets…
Rudeness beyond belief.
Great food great service and great prices and lots of options highly recommend especially for late night eats
DO NOT EAT HERE!!! The server was very unprofessional and unfriendly felt like you were being treated at a prison dining hall. What topped it off was that he overcharged me on the item that I ordered. When I questioned the manager he called the server over and he tried to play it off and the manager just simply adjusted the check and no apology whatsoever. The food quality was nothing to write home about to say the least. Also there was an ant or a fly crawling on the table. It makes you wonder about the hygiene as well as some of the other shenanigans that they play.... STAY AWAY!!
I'm torn between recommending this place and keeping it quiet. The guest service at this restaurant was remarkable. This spot produces excellent food. Tasty cuisine. Nice setting I found the experience rewarding.
Never had a bad meal at the Ritz Diner. Going here for about 15 years. Pancakes for dinner, yum. Excellent service too.

If you want the NYC Diner experience, go early in the morning or late at night. The waiters are so nice. They even have the movie's accent. We went here 6 times in a month, so yeah. All good. Not a Michelin star place, but a legit Diner! At least, my favorite Diner after a month of NYC.

I recently visited a local diner and was quite disappointed with the experience. We ordered a Western omelette with home fries, but the omelette was far from ideal. The vegetables were not diced properly, and instead were cut into large, uneven pieces, which made the dish feel poorly prepared. To make matters worse, the omelette was dry and lacked flavor.
We also ordered a waffle, which arrived soggy and unappetizing. Another dish, two eggs over medium with sausage links and french fries, did not meet expectations either. The eggs were supposed to be fried over medium, but they were not cooked properly. Additionally, the decaf coffee we ordered tasted like it came from the bottom of the pot—bitter and stale.
The service was subpar. The waiter was not friendly or attentive, and the hostess seated us at a dirty booth. When I pointed out two empty water cups on the table, she picked them up but initially left the table unclean. She returned later to wipe it down, but the fact that we were seated at a dirty table in the first place was off-putting.
Overall, this diner experience was quite disappointing, from the poorly prepared food to the lackluster service. I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Phenomenal! Diners are a dime a dozen, and most serve plain/bland basic food that clearly is made in bulk. I was pleasantly surprised to have such a flavorful breakfast! Home fries were deliciously seasoned, corned beef hash served piping hot, even the over easy eggs were perfect. It certainly hit the spot!

Excellent old fashioned diner. Surprisingly fresh food. Very good service. Part of 3 local restaurant group owned by same ownership. Dated furnishings should not deter.
