Old school diner with very greasy and underwhelming food. Charges a surcharge for paying with credit card as well.

Classic greasy spoon with really friendly staff. It was such a nice, relaxed old school Cafe with delicious breakfast food and a coffee cup that's never empty. Will be going back often! The only tip I would give is to bring cash as there is an upcharge with credit

Saddest excuse for a gyro i have ever seen for $20. Ordered the platter. I had frozen Gyro meat in the pita and thats it. Literally nothing else. In the description it says tzatziki but there was none. not even on the side. They gave a little greek salad on the side which had anchovies on it. As someone with a seafood allergy, that was worthless as well. Also, no mention of it at all. Thank god im not anaphylactic. Fries were not bad. But this is first time and last time I will order from here.

Best place in town.

Old fashion lucheonette, the kind of place where it doesn’t take long for “ everybody knows your name.“ New York used to have one of these on every block but now they’re rare as a hen tooth. Where else in New York can I walk in and the waiter knows what I’m going to order? The best dishes are the ones that require a little preparation, especially good at the breakfast is with all the standards and, for what it’s worth, the best sausages I’ve had in many years. The neighborhood is blessed to have this place around and every year I worry is going to close and be replaced by a nail salona new pharmacy or a bar restaurant catering to 20-year-olds.

We Hungarian tourists stumbled upon this place and we were captured instantly. Traditional american diner, very kind and attentive elderly staff, marvellous atmosphere and delicious food. Very good coffee as well. I could not ask for better and there's like 60 different dishes to choose from.

Cozy spot with great food that also delivers! “Mom’s food” type cooking. Brunch vibes.

Sutton Cafe is a true gem in the rough . An old style diner that is truly a rarity in this day an age . I stop in at least one a week and enjoy the the food and the neighborhood regulars

Wonderful local cafe/diner for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Food is consistently good, staff and ownership always make you feel at home. I recommend it highly and I personally eat there multiple times a week!

It may look like your average neighborhood diner, but Sutton Café is anything but.The décor reminds me of the classic old diners you see in movies. The place gets filled with regulars at lunchtime and the staff was friendly.I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. My eggs were a perfect overeasy and the home fires were extra crispy just how I like them. This is a great regular spot for breakfast, lunch or just coffee and a scone.

A true NYC gem. John, Nicco and Alex are a throwback to the old country.

Sutton Cafe is a no frills small diner which seems to host an older crowd of regulars. On a Sunday during brunch time we saw mostly tables of 1 to 2 but there were a couple tables of 4 too. It's a smallish menu for a diner but has all the staples (aside from matzo ball soup). While on the smaller side, we were able to fit a high chair for our table of 3 and our server was friendly and service quick for our toddler.
