Washington Square Diner

Stop in for a milkshake and a break from walking. Staff were so friendly and fast. I ended up grabbing a piece of cheesecake Togo and I'm so glad I did because it was some of the best I've ever had. Do the right thing and grab a slice.

This place took me back in time, and I could feel the old NY energy inside me. It's one of the coolest breakfast spots around. I'll suggest that everyone frequent these places and keep them alive. Big up for the friendly staff!!

Hot chocolate is a must here!

Great service! Cute classic place with yummy food. Minus one star because the hamburger was like $12 on the menu and it cost $14.95. No qualms otherwise.

Classic diner in exceptional location. I had the Friday lunch special, a grilled chicken panini on focaccia bread, and it was very good. Surprisingly not crowded for a Friday afternoon, quick and efficient service, didn't feel rushed to leave the table after eating.

Y’all, it’s a diner, and it does being a diner very well. Do not expect it to do anything else.

This is the spot!!! This is the spot myself, Choirand church peeps hang out at after service.
Parking is not always easy, especially in the West Village, and when worship is in service but it can be found sometimes near the restaurant.
The waiters are all wonderful and know our little group well. The restaurant is kid friendly, but usually, the kids seen here are the NYU students. The atmosphere is very comfortable, booths filled with chatting and laughter.
There is so much to choose from the menu, and yes, there are vegan/vegetarian meals to choose from as well.
The last time I ate there(2 wks ago) I had the chili with cheese over rice. The chili was well seasoned and tasty over the rice, perfect.
Another spot with good food that's reasonable.

Cappuccino was awful. The cakes, Lemon, was just sweet. The waiters are quite impolite for NYC standards

I love a good greasy-spoon diner, and generally, the lower-frills, the better. I liked the vibe here and was excited for what I felt should be a great classic diner experience. But it was deeply disappointing.

Ordered the western omelette with home fries and toast. Everything came out cold and dry. Omelette was room temp and somehow also overcooked. Potatoes were likewise cold and dry. Toast came dry and room temp (refrigerated/chilled butter on the side).

Aside from the miserable food, the service and coffee were both decent, otherwise I'd be giving a single star.

Washington Square Diner is the bomb! It's our go-to breakfast spot. It's an old-fashioned greasy spoon type of place that has been around forever. The service is amazing. The food is great, and the atmosphere, well , just say that it hasn't changed much in the last 20 years or so. But that is what gives it that traditional NYC vibe. If you are in the village, you gotta try it out! By the way, the carrot 🥕 cake 🎂 is amazing...
