Best pool table and darts. Best wings and burgers. My boys come here often to watch sports. Totally recommend. Amazing sports bar and music.

If you’re in search of a nice bar in the UES this is an amazing place! Food was delicious. Great vibe, fantastic service. Special shoutout to Rob for the great service!

Love this local place. good food and drinks. We come here to always catch a game. Had a blast here during the 2024 mets playoff run. If your a sports fan and want a place to hang out this it.

Neighborhood gem. There is something going on every night of the week- trivia, taco Tuesdays, 75 cent wings on Weds, and there’s always good music with a juke box and a pool table. Can’t go wrong. The staff make you feel like you’re at home and the vibes are always good. Anna and Rob aren’t too bad either, I applaud the way they run the place.

This bar never misses. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and on point. A fun and relaxed atmosphere for drinks and a quick meal. Definitely a go-to spot.

Epic spot to play pool, good food and amazing staff! Love this spot. Most welcoming spot in the UES.

Great spot to grab drinks, bar food, and shoot some pool. The staff is great and friendly.

Great wings. Now they have a pool table and dart board. Over 30 tvs. All sports available. My favorite place to hang. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time having breakfast with a friend at Midnight Express!!! Its a great diner with all the classics you'd expect. My only complaint is a minor one - please add a single pancake side to the menu!!! We really wanted a table pancake to split with our eggs Benedict and we were told it wasn't an option. You are seriously missing out not offering a solo pancake upsell!!! Otherwise it was a delicious visit!!

Great place. Went here the 4 days we were in NYC. A family of 4 and we were seated quickly. They even took care of our two small suitcases so we can sit comfortably. 100/10. Will return

Midnight Diner... what can I say? Well number 1. The owner is very present- Michael is the one who seated us. Michael then ended up having a very great chat with us. Very personable very down to earth very old school values. 2. Fatima the waitress amazing! Sweet and wonderful and I enjoyed our conversation where she stated she loves working at Midnight Diner because of Michael and the familia feel to being an employee. When I hear that I know the place is amazing. Me and my boyfriend had the best Paninis. Michael keep up the great work we need more mom and pop shops like yours. The ones where you walk in you feel like home and the service feels like a warm embrace- like the nicest hug! 3. MIDNIGHT DINER ROCKED OUR SOCKS 🥳

We went here as everything else was closed due to the holidays and we are so happy we did! This is a truly great diner: friendly staff, fast service, delicious food and great value for money. And, open 24/7 365 days a year! What else can one want? I will definitely be returning.

We found this place by chance and decided to have dinner here. The place looks really good and the atmosphere of the diner is old fashioned but in a good way. The food was pretty good and the portion is nice. I highly recommend if you want to grab a good and hearty meal.

Midnight Express Diner never fails to provide me with a fantastic and warm experience. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, with cozy lighting and comfortable booth seating. Their service is quick and on point. The menu contains every possible craving you could have. Definitely a favorite late night spot. Thanks for all the good experiences!!

The new menu is really good, I loved the tacos! customer service: very nice, the owner goes thought the tables asking for feedback which is nice. Price wasn't that crazy even thought you can only do it once a month, but it's really worthy it. This is definitely my favorite diner and I always visit. (I'd prefer natural orange juice).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Midnight Gem of NYC Midnight Express Diner is a true institution — open 24/7 since 1977. From the moment you walk in, you feel the charm of a proper old-fashioned diner: great food, generous portions, and prices that feel like a throwback in the best way. The staff are warm, friendly, and efficient, and the owner, Aris, personally greets patrons at the door — a rare and genuine touch that makes the experience special. The menu has all the classic diner favorites, cooked just right. If you love real diner food, great value, and old-school hospitality, this place is a must-visit.

The ambiance is more fresh and modern than the old-school diners. The soup was delicious. I had the chicken noodle soup, they could have added a little more chicken. Service was very attentive and friendly.

I visited this gem at midnight on a Saturday night. It was busy but not packed, and I was greeted and seated immediately. The two waiters who helped me were very sweet guys. The food was amazing, and they serve generous portions! I got the breakfast platter and wasn't disappointed with anything. Chocolate chip pancakes, breakfast potatoes, eggs how I want them, and turkey bacon. They have milkshakes too! I'll be back anytime I'm in the area.

Chris Rivera

My go-to diner in the UES. Been coming here for years and it always hits the same. Food is delicious!

Diner was great! We got the Chicken Parm which comes with soup or salad and a side of potato and veggies or pasta and the Chicken Souvlaki dish which comes with a Greek salad and fries along with pickles and coleslaw. Good service and a nice atmosphere ✨

This place always hits especially after working a night shift! I love that it’s 24/7. You definitely get your money’s worth because the portions are big and shareable. The farmers omelette and Nutella banana pancakes are delicious. The crepes are also great. One of my favorite breakfast spots.

A neighborhood gem for hungry night owls! Love that they're open 24/7 and deliver nearby. Their soup of the day--usually chicken noodle or chicken rice--is always comforting and hits the spot. Servic…

Ordered a couple cocktails - a little too sweet. The chili martini was okay (too sweet). Would definitely just stick to the canned drinks or draft beers next time. Lots of TVs - would come back to watch sports.

Very nice place... Good food, good service, nice atmosphere.. Omelettes, pancake, French toast, coffee.. these were very tasty and liked the big portions and loads of French fries with them, reasonably priced, the waiter was good at his job, very friendly and gave good advice on menu, will surely go again and recommend to others, on the menu he described each kind of omelette and other menu too.. Pleasant experience, atmosphere was nice and cozy, not noisy.., coffee was good and was served two three times (topping up). It is close to our place we could easily walk there.. service.. overall experience..

Great food, cheap prices, slow service. still would come again,

The food is pretty good. The service is quick. The only thing that was really weird was when the hostess asked my cousin her name for the waiting list, my cousin was going to spell her name for her since it’s a really unique name her parents made up at birth but the hostess commentary was “you don’t have to spell it like i am dumb, just say it.” I think that is really strange commentary to say especially to someone who has a really unique name and knows the spelling is hard. 🥴🥴🥴 The drinks were good. We had ordered some brunch items, coffee and desert. I would come back to this restaurant. Like a typical American diner, you pay at the entrance. They take credit card, cash and debit card as forms of payment.

Was super excited to try the bacon egg and cheese burger bc I was craving a burger with a fried egg and I also love a baconeggandcheese but this fell a little flat. Burger didn’t feel seasoned enough like it was begging for a sauce of some sort. Fries were pretty good but unsalted, I added some salt and then they were great!

It was my first time here, and only because it was the only place open at 4am in the morning without walking too far. I ordered pickup online. I got a chicken caprese panini. It smelled good and looked good with green lettuce, red sundried tomatoes, and white grilled chicken breast. However, the chicken was extremely tough and dry. You can see the stringy fibers in the photos. The bread was alright. The flavor was okay with the fragrance of pesto. The environment was clean. The staff were alright, but again, what do you expect before dawn. Even so, I’m still quite disappointed.

The Midnight Express Diner is supposed to be a 24/7 diner. When I tried to visit them early in the morning they had coffee and muffins available, not really what you would expect from a diner.

The owner has an attitude and a discriminatory behavior against me and my friend who were only trying to enjoy our weekend in nyc and play some pool. Says there is a drink minimum just to use to use the pool table and the table is horrible and unplayable.

Ordered a burger for pickup and it was the worst experience. Tried to convince me they didn’t do toppings on burgers and had to order them all as “sides” only to not put the toppings I was charged for but layered on onions. Also got the milkshake order wrong. 0/10 experience and overcharges with zero follow through.
