Absolutely do not go to a chain fast food restaurant in NYC, that kind of franchised, soul-less food you can get anywhere on the planet now. Make the most of where you are and have yourself a proper American breakfast. This is where families, business types and construction workers get breakfast. Not the cheapest, but then you don't go to New York every day. Authentic and great food. Yes the eggs are cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Best breakfast, friendly service, good Colombian coffee!!! Loved it!!! Saludos paisanos, René

Great breakfast, great service and very good prices. Nice to see locals in the place not tourists so you know it’s good! Corn beef hash was great

Great little place for breakfast. Good food, great service and reasonable value.

Loove the food, big serving plates and delicious, great price. Excellent customer service! They have protection between tables against COVID. Space for small and large groups, seating inside and outside.

Awesome little spot in Midtown. Great service and yummy food. Breakfast all day!

If you need a classic diner style breakfast, this place won’t disappoint. My omelet was good and my waffle was light and fluffy goodness. Now I think I need a nap!

A friend and I ate here on a Saturday morning for brunch, and I would 10/10 recommend! Delicious Omelettes and friendly service! I had the Greek omelett for reference 💕

The food was delicious and staff were very attentive and friendly

Good food. Pickles didn't taste so great, but everything else was really good. Hot and fresh.

Plenty of Breakfast options. Food Quality is excellent. Service, top notch. Courteous and efficient staff. Considering the fact that it is a part of New York City , the prices of various dishes are quite reasonable. All in all, an excellent experience and a very good value for money

Everything was perfect! The food is amazing and the staff is so nice. A must while visiting new york if you’re looking for an authentic American breakfast.

I had a breakfast here and what the experience it's been! The place was packed, in a good sense - we were surrounded by people rather than sitting in the empty room. Waiters were doing magic given the number of clients - very attentive, nothing was forgotten from the order, everything came on time, fresh coffee poured when needed. The food was fresh and tasty. I will definitely have breakfasts here next time I'm in NY!

We had a wonderful Christmas eve lunch at the New York Luncheonette. The staff was so welcoming and kind, especially our server, Olga. The food quality and options were top notch.

Went for breakfast after the great reviews here and in TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed!! The place was almost full at 9 am on a cold winter Thursday . The food was delicious and the service super friendly and efficient.

Amazing breakfast spot! The sausages, scrambled eggs, and pancakes are delicious — cooked to perfection. What really makes this place shine are the people: super friendly servers and talented grill cooks who create a joyful, welcoming vibe. Great food, even better atmosphere!

The Bacon&Egg sandwich was ok for nyc prices. The pancakes, which were served with salted butter and syrup, however were amazing, besides the price of 16 isch $ Hot chocolate was 3,75$ and was served eith free water. Sitting outside is rarely available, but I highly recommend it.

We stayed 7 days in New York and found this on our second day. We went back every day for breakfast. Staff was very friendly beside the hot weather and the busy times. The food was fresh and very delicious. Price was good for New York too. We be definitely coming back once back in New York in the next year and recommend everyone we know to go there. Thank you guys for a fantastic service

This place represents the gold standard for its type. The meals show attention to appearance and flavor. The plates told the story - the food was excellent. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and were eager to address all inquiries. They make the dining experience seamless.

Great restaurant, easy to get in, we went twice and had two large parties and they didn’t question it, all the food was perfect, the Rueben was just one thing and it was amazing, service was really nice and very reasonably priced

Good location near 5th Avenue. Service was great. It's busy and visited by tourists and locals but service is very fast. In less than 10 minutes my order was in my table. The waiter was very professional and friendly. I visited twice and it was a good experience.

We have finally found our favourite diner. Ultra efficient service and great French Toast. It's so close to Park and Lexington but it has real homely feel to it. We were staying at Lotte New York Palace and this was a five minute stroll.

One of the best diners in town,the best cheeseburgers ever,great flavor and done correctly 👌

Delicious food! PS- you can get a $6 beer here 😉 Some things are a bit expensive, but mostly affordable.

Stopped by after a parade today. Had the most delicious tuna sandwich on soft white bread with lettuce and crisp bacon I've ever had, with perfectly cooked fries and a great fountain soda Coke. Diner perfection! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Clean, quiet atmosphere. Looking forward to going back to try their breakfast. Really enjoyed the experience.

life changing tuna melt! cute, efficient, charming diner with old school new york vibe

We love this restaurant! We stay at the Lexington Hotel which is a couple of blocks away when we visit NYC. We have breakfast there daily on our visit. The food and service is excellent!

We had a great breakfast at a reasonable price, our coffee cups were never empty. Staff and clientele were also nicer than the typical New York experience.

Great place for breakfast. Everything was delicious, great cheese omelet and hash browns. My first time but will be back!

The Service was terrific. Food came out quick, hot and exactly how I ordered. Highly recommend

Great fresh breakfast. Small but cozy. Food was absolutely perfect! 3 dishes plus 2 juices cost you around $50 (tips excluded)

Post Summer Street run, the place was 95% occupied as the tourists have returned! Had 2 eggs over easy with sausage, potatoes and toast. Bottomless cup of coffee 👍👍. Excellent value given the location and quality of food & service.

I come here every time I’m in NYC. Great waffles and superb authentic atmosphere. Lovely service. All round well worth a visit and great place for anyone on holiday looking for a diner experience. Come on an empty stomach though!

Came in for a sandwich , service was good and food served up quickly, it was delicious, piping hot and so tasty,big portions too and not unreasonably expensive. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend a visit.

Typical NY place with great breakfast. Really enjoyed it.

A place to be in New York City!! Fresh, delicious food, always served in a friendly manner

A fantastic American diner. The food is good quality and reasonably priced. There can sometimes be a line out the front on busy days but it moves fast. We came twice while we were in town. Shout out to the owner Chris for making us feel welcome. He genuinely showed that he wanted to provide a good dining experience.

One of the best places to have any meal in downtown. They keep refilling your coffee or water it you want. The food perfect, servers great and prices are great. Would recommend it 100%

What a great place for breakfast! Very popular with locals and tourists alike. A quick turnaround and efficient friendly service. Definitely recommend 👌

Really enjoyed our breakfast at the New York Luncheonette. The French Toast was delicious and my eggs were cooked to perfection. The coffee was so-so (hot black and also iced coffee w/ almond milk). I’ve saved this diner to come back for breakfast when visiting NYC.

We came all the way from Georgia to eat here! We love everything we've ever gotten!

I recently visited New York Luncheonette and had a great experience! Food: The breakfast options were delightful, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the pancakes, which were fluffy and delicious. The only downside was that a few items could benefit from a bit more seasoning. Service: The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Our server checked in on us regularly, which added to the overall positive experience. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. The vintage decor gives it a charming vibe that adds to the fun of dining there. Overall, I highly recommend New York Luncheonette for a tasty and relaxed breakfast. I look forward to visiting again!

I often find myself wanting to back to my childhood and enjoy a typical New York diner. This place is wonderful it has a very homey atmosphere. The classic American diner vibe. Portions are generous. It reminds you of a better time in america. 🇺🇸

Larry Boyer

Great food.Great Service. Great price. Couldn't ask for more. Good dinner experience. Service was fast and attentive but not rushed. People came, ate and left so there was never a long wait, if ever. We enjoyed it so much the first time we went back again!

Matt K

Nice authentic food just off 5th, so even though it was still busy, it was quiet enough to get a table. Wasn't rushed. Coffee refills. Giant pancakes with Nutella for the kids. Would definitely use again

Out of state-ers (Tx). This was just down the way from our hotel. The establishment is quaint and cozy, a very nice break from the rush and hubub ourside. The food was fresh and delicious, very obviously made with profession and love. So glad we stopped in!

This place is a treasure. Fast, friendly, efficient, and exactly what you expect from a breakfast spot. I brought my family here on a whim because it was across from our hotel. It was bustling but the line moved fast. The staff is like a well oiled machine, getting you your food quickly and moving people in and out as a team without rushing the process. I came back when I was in town on business by myself and sat the bar. Was amazed to see how they handled traffic up close, how quickly they turned around my requests, and how much the crew was clearly enjoying each other. They’re not reinventing the wheel here, but honestly this fast, friendly, no BS breakfast is exactly what you would expect from a midtown diner. Shout out to the grill guys who were absolutely crushing it. Recommended!

A brilliant little place which we found by accident. Proper diner food and great service. We arrived at around 8:45am and it was quite busy. We were seated immediately though. There were several groups of people all enjoying breakfast but the noise levels were not intrusive like we found in other places. Service was quick and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept the coffee topped up too 😁 Would highly recommend for proper food in a local atmosphere.

Michael Uhler

Fast and friendly service. Delicious omelette. Quality location for quick and tasty food.

Great place for cozy New York style diner food with very reasonable prices, especially for the area. Service is very fast and pleasant, would take my friends back here for pancakes and pastrami sandwiches.

Michal Berkovich

Our favorite breakfast restaurant, we choose to eat here 3 days in a row :) varied menu for all family members. Recommended!

Food was delicious, service was friendly. Please support this restaurant. While we were there a homeless person came in, they were kind and compassionate giving him a meal. If you are looking for an authentic diner with great people in NYC this is it.

Tom Ram

Like all crazy jet-lagged Europeans we got there at 7 am. Very cozy, friendly place. Vast choices, portions bigger than one would expect. One from Europe I guess. My omelette was Western with extra cheddar cheese. My son had California wrap, which was probably the best choice. Very tasty. Good pancakes with maple syrop too. Oh! house cofe is very good. Enjoy once you’re nearby.

Ate here twice over the weekend and food and service was pretty good. French toast was okay, pancakes were really good, and the sole fried fish sandwich was really good. Was not a fan of the bacon, They made it crispy as I requested but it tasted burnt. I overall, I definitely will come back next time I'm in New York. Better than the hotel breakfast next door

The food was okay. I had ceased salad & French friend. My friend enjoyed breakfast sandwich with home fries.

The food is delicious great pricing, service is top notch. One down fall but is ok is the bathroom. Other than that perfect small business to have a great breakfast.

I was seated immediately when I arrived. My pastrami sandwich was alright. I wish it came with the bread toasted. My cake wasn't very good, either.

Friendly service, average diner fare. Got the pastrami omelette.

Lovely little place for breakfast. We ate pancakes and waffles, they were delicious. The staff was also very friendly.

food was decent. feels like I'm having breakfast at someone's home, very cozy

Classic bustling diner. Excellent service and friendly staff working very hard to keep orders on track. Fantastic freshly made pancakes and omelettes. I will return!

It is a nice place for brunch, lunch or dinner. It was so cold outside so I asked for the chicken noddle soup and was pretty good and tasty. The Wrap was also good and a good portion. The customer service was nice and kind, they speak English and Spanish and you need the vaccination card to get a table. I really enjoyed it!

So thankful they were open on Thanksgiving. We are in town for the holiday and needed to find lunch. We have been here before and the service is good, food delivered quickly, and fresh ingredients. We were a party of 6 and everyone liked and enjoyed their meals.

Excellent place for breakfast. Good staff. Nice menu. Calm place to be. Bit pricey but it's still good.

The breakfast was pretty good. I got the two egg plate with a muffin instead of toast. They toasted the muffin, and it was pretty good. The "home fries" weren't good, so I didn't eat them, which was ok with me. The eggs were ok. The coffee was ok. The service was good and very fast. This was my first trip to NY, so I don't have anything in the area to compare to. It was close to our hotel. If I were close again, I would go back for breakfast again, so I do recommend it.

Crowded but home-y and bustling place. A little crammed for my liking but service was quick and friendly, food was tasty and eggs are done well. Solid breakfast place. Prices more around the $15-25 range but it’s tasty! Solid 7/10. You should be full after a hearty American breakfast.

My buddy and I were strolling around looking for a reasonable restaurant to sit down in that wasn’t named Starbucks. We found it. Service was perfect. Never felt rushed but never felt ignored. Prices were what you expect for two breakfast plates, even though I have to imagine their rent in midtown must be sky high. The people working in the restaurant were very nice. A man even came outside looking for me because I forgot 45 cents on the counter. All told a VERY enjoyable experience. A place to sit and talk and take your time. In midtown. During the lunch rush. 👍

Good burger and great fries. Reuben wasn't so great (personal opinion - others may love it). Ice cream was so good we thought it might have been made there.

Service here is outstanding. Fernando was on top of our every need.

New York Luncheonette has that classic New York diner vibe that’s getting harder to find. It’s been around for decades, and you can feel that local history when you walk in. We stopped in for brunch and the food was straightforward and satisfying. The bacon came out perfectly crispy just like we asked, the portions were generous, and everything was exactly what you’d expect from a traditional diner breakfast. Nothing overly fancy, but just solid brunch food done well. The crowd felt like a mix of tourists and locals, which makes sense for a place that’s been part of the neighborhood for over 30 years. It’s also a great spot if you want a quick sit-down meal without committing to a long brunch experience. When there’s no line, you can easily get in and out in under an hour. If you’re looking for a classic New York breakfast spot with history and dependable diner food, this is a great option.

This is a bustling, downtown Manhattan diner with old world charm, a fast paced environment and efficient service. I went a little off book with my order and they were happy to oblige even during a busy lunch service. A convenient, go-to spot with lots of variety, if you’re looking to grab a quick bite to eat.

We visited this restaurant and had a really good meal — the food was great. The place was nice and quiet, which made for a relaxing experience. Service was good, friendly and attentive. Everything was clean, which added to the comfort. Definitely somewhere to keep in mind if you want a quiet, solid meal.

Old-school New York City diner in Midtown. After 36 hr fasting for a medical procedure, I needed someplace nearby for a good breakfast and this fit the bill. The omelette wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but since I was starving, it tasted delicious, home fries were good and the bagel with cream cheese cheese was tasty. Typical New York City diner style service from a hard-working crew looking to do their best. I will say that an ordinary egg breakfast for two coming out to $50+ (including tip) was a little bit eye popping but this is the heart of Midtown Manhattan so it is what it is. Can’t say that I would definitely recommend it unless you are at a hotel in the area and you need something convenient.

We came here for brunch today, and the food was great! We ordered the pancake lumberjack with bacon, french toast lumberjack with bacon, country omelette, and Mediterranean omelette. The pancakes were fluffy, and the omelettes and french toast were both good. The portions were large, and the service was quick and attentive.

Authentic New York luncheon experience. Good comfort food, briskly served with a smile. Good prices, large portions and friendly staff. All in the heart of Manhattan. Don't dress up, just show up as you are.

For a diner, even in NYC, you just don’t get the diner feel or quantity for the price. It looks like a diner but that’s about it. The salads we got were ok, but they didn’t even have the diner “wow” size factor. It’s a decent lunch spot, but there’s nothing special about it.

Very standard diner. They didn't have any booths, which I wish they had. The service was good, and the food was mediocre. The prices were a bit steep though.

This place had high score at several sites, and it was near our hotel so we tried it. This place is hectic, where the waiters are running all around you, bringing food to the tables and clearing the dirty dishes after. I had a pancakes which were quite nice. My friend took o e egg with potatoes and toast, but he wasn't that happy about it. And they were even wrong with his check. Overall, place has good atmosphere but food can get better.

Andra Leeke

A bit disappointed after all the hype. We had pancakes and the tuna melt. Pancakes were fine but nothing special. Tuna melt was cold in the middle, actual tuna salad was dry. Fries were kinda cold as well. Service was wonderful. Really wanted to line this place more. They were given awards for helping during 9/11 and President Obama went there etc. but it was just okay. I'll try it again and order something different just to see if i can have a better opinion.

Fausto Kraselsky

We came here based on a recommendation, and honestly, we expected a bit more. While the food had good flavor, the overall quality felt overpriced for the portion sizes. The water tasted strongly of chlorine, there was no Wi-Fi available, and the furniture looked old and somewhat worn. On the positive side, the staff was always attentive and friendly.

Server was ok, but brought the wrong kind of eggs. (Was friendly replacing them). Two sandwiches were very below average. We barely ate them. Fries were good. Would not recommend.

Please dont be fooled by the 4.5 rating. The food is mediocre at best. Coffee is way overpriced. Pancakes were ok. If you want eggs and bacon dont go here. Get an egg sandwich at the corner vendor. Will never come back here

Very meh breakfast. Small portions, NYC prices. Should have gone to Madison Restaurant a few blocks over instead where prices are also high, but you get a little more for it. Came here on Sunday morning and barely got a seat at 930am. Would have expected better, but I think its just closer to tourist hotel rooms, so they come by proximity. We ended up getting a Pancakes with a side of Bacon strips and a California Omelette that had Avocado and Bacon. The omelette was served with their form of hash browns and inedible toast. The pancakes were actually decent, but those are pretty hard to screw up. Props to their individually packaged butter not being frozen. However, the omelette was overcooked, the toast was a brick, and the hash browns under-seasoned. Sadly, service was excellent, but that's not enough to bring me back.

Came here for lunch with a friend yesterday. We were greeted quickly and our waiter was very friendly and attentive, which was the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the restaurant had an unpleasant smell when we walked in. The fries were great, but the sandwich I ordered was very bland and lacked flavor, especially for the price. The fountain drinks also upset our stomachs later. Both my friend and I ended up feeling sick afterward and I even threw up later, so something didn’t sit right with us. I ended up having stomach cramps the rest of the day as well — possibly from the deli meat. It’s unfortunate because the service was really great, but the food quality and overall experience were disappointing.

Came in for breakfast. Ordered oatmeal with blueberries and a side of ham. The oatmeal was luke warm. At least the blueberries were plump and fresh. The ham was slimey, wet, cold slices of boiled lunch meat ham. No attempt even to sear them well on the griddle. Yuck. I couldn't eat them.

I ordered Steak & eggs. I don’t really know where was the Steak!! Just a couple of beef slices Not a Steak !!!

Everybody loves a good diner, this is not a good diner. My single, standard waffle in the "lumberjack breakfast" was half cooked. The Ham with my meal was two slices of deli ham, warmed up. The menu says that you can get up to three refills of your 6 oz cup of coffee for $3. I got one cup of coffee and the promise for some more which was quickly forgotten. There are so many tables and chairs crammed into this small space that I'm surprised the fire marshal hasn't put them on notice yet. They started busting the table while we were still sitting there, hustling us out the door.
