I came here to ring the new year in when I was stuck at work. First I have to start with I love this place for being open on NYE. I walked in, was greeted with a smile, and didn't feel like they were upset they were working on NYE. The location is super convenient, right off the 7 train. I ended up going with the gyro plate and fries. Everything was so good. The gyro meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The pita was soft and fresh. The Greek salad was amazing. And the fries were actually tasty, and I don't really like fries. Very happy with this place, and I'm very glad to see we can still call NYC the city that never sleeps thanks to places like the court square diner.

This is a pretty decent classic diner. The location is very convenient. It’s 24 hours so doesn’t matter when you’re hungry. Great food and friendly service.

Got a Court Burger and it came out on a roll instead of a bun for some reason but it was good. Fries were fresh. Sautéed vegetables were a good addition. It’s a little more expensive now but not the worst for the price nowadays. Fast service.

Yummy food! Friendly service. Got the bacon grilled cheese and it was yummy. Also got a shake, yum!

The most authentic diner experience in NYC. It has everything a diner should - a retro, chrome-covered diner with a nice counter, open 24 hours, big portions of well priced food, fast and attentive service, a shiny case full of massive pies, and they even take Apple Pay. I got the cheeseburger deluxe and an iced coffee - a 1/2 pound cheeseburger with LTO, fries, onion rings, a pickle, and some amazing coleslaw plus a massive iced coffee, and spent only $20 tax and tip included. Highly recommend

Have been coming here for years and it never disappoints....great diner comfort food. Always get a vanilla egg cream and my bf always has a shake. I've sampled many of their menu items and have mostly enjoyed everything. This time we had BLTs with extra bacon, chocolate shake, vanilla egg cream, sweet potato fries - a very satisfying quick diner dinner. Service is always friendly and quick.

Food came fast, server was in a fun jokey mood, items were priced right for diner fare, food quality and variety is what you want and expect out of a diner. Cozy booths, back room closed but plenty of seating. Bathrooms were clean and seemed well tended to. Carrot cake was great! Forgot to take photos of the food because we were so hungry.

If you’re looking for a late night diner with good staff and good food, here’s your best bet around the queens LIC area! The staff is accommodating, classic diner fare and decoration, a fuss free experience :). Great matzo ball soup. Whether you’re craving something for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or something sweet, they have it all!

This 24/7 diner has a great menu at a great price. The staff and vibe are excellent. Not your average diner.

Never disappointed!! I have been going this Diner for 3 years. I looked for good Diner near by my home and went several places. Finally I found here. The staffs are welcoming all that time. Always they gave good foods. I usually ordered brunch menu, Deluxe pancakes or French Toast. These are wonderful ❤️ Omelets are also fantastic! I highly recommend this place!

Heart filling and soul food ! Amazing coffee and a super friendly staff ! 24 hours open Diner offering a wide array of food breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner !

The portion compared to the price was really so huge! The carrot cake was well made (I tried many carrot cakes but this is one of the best I had). The atmosphere was nice, typical american style place. If someone wants to experience American restaurants, I would recommend this place!

So good! Enjoyed it, service and food was worth the money.

Went to Court Sq diner for a late night meal and unironically it was pretty good. The servers are dressed up regardless of time and very nice. We got a bunch of different food and by diner standards they were really good (better than ihop or Waffle House). Drinks weren’t great however the onion rings with some ranch especially were amazing! Fried breading and onion ratio were too perfect. Definitely eating here for a late night meal again. Bring open 24/7 is so awesome.

I have been coming here since 2004, when I lived a few blocks away, it’s easily my favorite place to eat in all of Queens. I will purposely go out of my way just to eat here, even if I don’t need to be in the area. It’s a no frills diner that is exactly the same as it was back in 04, while everything around it has changed. It’s clean and inviting. Everyone has always been so nice and friendly, service has always been prompt. I’ve never had any issues with food or service. My go to has always been the grilled cheese deluxe meal, which is just a simple grilled cheese and my choice of curly fries. I haven’t had the pizza burger or turkey burger in many years, but those were old favorites. The menu has stayed mostly the same, including cost, but I was pleased to see the addition of vegan meatballs to the menu. I love Court Square Diner, I always have, I have so many memories here and it holds a special place to me.

Took the Metro from Grand Central to Court Sq on the 7-line. Well worth the trip. Quickly seated & served. Very friendly service. Massive Reuben sandwich with beautiful, succulent Corned Beef. A large Boardwalk Turkey sandwich (took half to go). Free sides of coleslaw & pickles, plus 2 x Ice Teas. $41.26 inc tax. Great value. Cannot recommend highly enough. Literally step out of the station & you're there!

pancakes? perfection! bacon? crispy. hot chocolate? amazing! portions are huge. we had it both dine in and delivery and its great either way! 10/10 you have to eat here! literally everything is great.

Came here for brunch feeling incredibly hungry, and left very satisfied! Absolutely delicious food and attentive service from our lovely server. A wonderful experience overall, highly recommend! 🍳

Great dine in service and great food. Them sweet potato fries are a god sent and chefs kiss 🤌🏾

Amazing service! 1am just got off a late flight and needed something heavy to put me down. 20 seconds and I had a glass of water with my menu. Immediately after I ordered food an appetizer was given as pickles and Cole Slaw! Pizza burger was good, for people who want a plain taste, the other sandwiches added much more flavor.

Very authentic little diner, just as you would imagine to find one in NYC, when you are from abroad. The food is delicious and comes at a very decent price. The waiters are heatwarmingly nice and that even in the early hours of the day. Would definitely recommend coming here.

A few steps off the Court Square stop, a nostalgic classic taste from one of the last few great American diners. Marie will make you feel like fam no matter how many allergies you and your kids have. And we are grateful.

Nice to get a table with no waiting time on Labor Day and the restaurant is full. Omelettes are good as usual. What can I say, as a LICer, it’s great to have a 24hrs diner and food is cheap and nice. I don’t really understand the reviews complaining it’s expensive here. The coffee here is $2, and meanwhile $7 coffee everywhere in the city or even nearby. Fine, I understand review is just personal. I’ll come back and wish know this place earlier.

There aren’t a lot of diners like these anymore in NYC that have the retro diner aesthetic with a more modern look. Not only that but this place is the best value when it comes to NYC as a whole, let alone 10 mins from Manhattan with the train right outside. The food here is also very very good. I gave the place 5 stars for food but it’s really like a 4.75 stars because the chicken on the tortellini I ordered was dry, other than that it was seasoned well and the sauce was quality. When I say this I mean as it cooled down it didn’t separate into just oil. Lastly, the pricing of the menu items are absolutely great. Like I was genuinely shocked at how affordable everything was. Considering that this is 10 minutes outside of manhattan, it was a pleasant surprise. Bottom line is I WILL be back here more often, with more friends, and telling others to come here.

Hubby and I decided to try this diner since we often passed it. We came here on a quiet Sunday morning. Parking was good on Sunday. We got a parking right up front. I ordered spinach Florentine, and Hubby got French toast. They served me plenty of spinach! That was awesome because I love spinach. I never liked hollandaise sauce, so I asked to put it on the side. My poached eggs came out perfect! Loved my breakfast! The French toast was not bad either. The perfect coat for the toast. Right measurement of eggs, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. So we got two winners! Maybe we’ll come back on another quiet day like this. We’re early birds, so the place was still very quiet. It’s located right by the train stop, so for those who ride a train, this diner could be their grab-and-go breakfast place.

+1

Amazing experience. Very friendly staff, the food was delicious and portions are filling.

This is a great place to eat, but it can get very crowded. I went at around 1 on a weekend and it was very busy. The wait wasn't that long, it took around 10-15 minutes for us to get seated. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend eating here.

Very enthusiastic old-school Silver Cup decor. Quick service, 24/7, great food and not grease bombs! Also, the very late nights in weekends have great people watching!

The best diner! Excellent breakfast. Quality service. Everything we wanted from a traditional NY diner. Thank you!

I love this dinner,great food, very good service, cozy Christmas decor.I recommend it!

Firstly, it's a classic diner, so temper your expectations. With the "classic" part, I've been coming to this sporadically for about 18 years and it's tried and true now as it was then. Sitting at the counter, I never went without coffee. Even when they cleared my plates, they left me a new, extra napkin with my last fresh cup. That last detail, so minute but meaningful, compelled me to write a review. The food is classic diner. The fries are perfectly crispy and fluffy, even if probably made by Sysco. The sandwich, simple yet hit the spot. The eggs, just a little overcooked like every other diner in America. Great spot, especially as a connective thread to the many generations of LICers.

Amazing diner with delicious food. The service is great as well

I stumbled upon this restaurant as I was coming out of Court Square Station, and I got a little overjoyed it looked like an old-school American diner straight out of a movie. So I asked my friend if we could have dinner there. The menu had so many options. I started with some kind of meat platter (can’t remember exactly what it was) and finished with ice cream and pancakes. I couldn’t help but imagine myself coming here almost every day just to grab a bite, sit around, do nothing, and enjoy the day.

Very solid diner! Service was pleasant and attentive. Portions were great and everything tasted very homey. Not over seasoned and everything was well cooked. Loved the broiled seafood platter with french onion soup. We will be definitely coming back to try more items!

best pancakes i’ve ever had at a diner. the servers are the absolute best and most attentive staff i’ve ever seen work a floor, carrying up to 6 plates is just phenomenal work. the food is pretty darn delicious though the omelette and potato’s were a bit cold the flavor was there and i think overall i would want to come back here all the time if i lived closer. can’t wait to come back for my birthday

Classic diner with a comprehensive 6+ page menu, generous portions, and booth seating with a retro vibe. We ordered the burger and fish & chips, both of which came with abundant amount of fries, and was cooked to the American style. The hot chocolate and coffee (refills included) hit the spot. The diner is conveniently located right next to Court Square subway station and Trader Joe’s. It’s open 24/7. On the weekend, there is typically a wait, where you put your name down and wait until they call you.

it’s such a classic diner with great food! No need to wait too long until your order comes to you.

I find Diners fascinating... and recently decided to only dine at diners on my 'me days'. Anyways, went into Court Square with high hopes as the reviews are amazing. Expectation were met if not exceeded. Soon as I walked in, I was greeted with smile from the hostess and sat at comfortable, spacious booth. A waitress brought a glass of iced water right away, which i had to substitute for no ice (its really cold right now to be drinking ice water) I was given ample time with menu, thank you for not rushing me Court Square (stay tuned for next diners review). I chose the 'Grill Chicken Triple decker' substituted with turkey bacon. It came with the fries, coleslaw and pickles. The sandwich was great. A little to much tomatoes for my liking, but you can always take it out. Loved the fries; long, crispy and yummy. Overall, great portions of food, not so much that you are stuffed and not so little that you are barely filled. Service was amazing, atmosphere was fantastic. All in all, a great lunch.

one of the best diners in the city, very affordable, vintage ambiance and great comfort food!

This nostalgic tidbit located right under the elevated train tracks is a moment of peace in a bustling city. The exterior is nearly muted as you indulge in the ambience of this diner. The service was amazing with our food arriving in what felt like a New York minute. From the eggs to French Toast , everything was fresh, made to order and delicious. Our server (red hair) was amazing, attentive and polite. Thank you for a great breakfast. Edit: we got her name, ask for Brenda!!

we drove from long island to get some good diner food late at night. unfortunately barely anything is open 24 hours anymore. i got a cheeseburger deluxe with extra pickles and it did not disappoint. my boyfriend got chocolate chip pancakes and bacon he loved it. my friend got an extra thick milkshake and it was soooo good. such a cute place with a cute vibe. also so affordable compared to other diners.

Betty McCord

I ordered corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, homemade fries and rye toast. The food was super duper delicious and made exactly as I requested. The portion size was more than enough to feed two people. I will definitely order from this dinner again. Kudos to you..... A very satisfied customer.

This is my favorite diner in all of NYC. Reasonable prices and the food hits every time. You wouldn't think a chicken salad melt would be something to salivate over but they do it so well lol, sandwiches are big. Calamari was nice and fresh tasting. Nice warm ambiance, so classic

Amazing place! Food, service and vibe were all great. Onions soup was the best we have ever eaten. Felt like a scene from an 80s movie. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Grabbed a quick breakfast with couple buddies . It was fast and quick , definitely recommend the BEC , better than a lot of corner Delis !! Great diner food , with a great selection.

Court Square Diner is a gem in what is a dying breed of 24/7 diners here in NYC. Great food, great service, and reasonably priced in today’s day and age. Soups are amazing especially the seafood bisque and cream of turkey, the latter of which is only served on weekends. Definitely worth a try and conveniently located just off the Court Square #7 train station.

Got there around 1 am and had no wait time. Was able to order and food came out quick. Food was amazing! Pancake was one of the best I’ve ever had. Also brought out the soda with a lemon, which tasted amazing.

Very kind service, and an authentic American diner experience. Locals and tourists alike should visit. Menu was extensive, and everything tasted GOOD. Not your usual “decent diner food”. I had the best Belgian waffle here I’ve ever had, and everything was absolutely delicious. Truly authentic American cuisine.

Great vibes me and my wife we bought the calamari as Appetizer And then we had a triple-decker turkey sandwich that was good as well, but should’ve bought something else but I love the experience a very great time. We went there at 12 o’clock at night. Definitely coming back with me and my wife. Definitely enjoyed it. Five stars for me.

Amazing breakfast!!! The toasts were amazing!!! Perfect sweet, crispy on the ouside, soft and fluffy on the inside, warm and on top wirh icing. Eggs were also good. How perfect to start the day!! The atmosphere was nice and cozy. We got good service too. They also have all the condiments on the table for you.

Came for a 4 am bite to eat after an evening out. The place had a significant amount of people dining after a lively Friday. We were able to get a booth within a couple of minutes. We ordered a chicken noodle soup, waffle, chicken triple decker with curly fries and a cup of coffee. Everything was great. It was what was needed to get some energy to head home. Glad we still can count on the court diner for 24hr food options.

Quinaya Smith

I stopped by this lovely, traditional looking diner after work today. As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by a server and seated (it wasn't busy, so it might depend on the time of day). I was given a booth, a waitress by the name of Tubi took care of me 😊 There were a few other customers present, so it wasn't overly busy and she was able to wait on each of those other tables too. The menu is so massive, had I noticed already known what I wanted, I would've sat there indecisively for forever 😅 I ordered the eggs Benedict; it was delish, I chose the Canadian bacon option. It only took about ten minutes for the food to come out. The price was barely $19 which was worth the potion size and presentation. I enjoyed my good whilst watching a video on my phone. I paid upfront and tipped and that was it really! I would love to come back here some other time and potentially bring my partner if possible. I'm from the Bronx, but I would make the trip just to enjoy splendid diner food 😋

In from Florida. Stopped for a quick bite. Excellent service, and food was good. Had the charbroiled chopped steak. My wife had chicken parmesean with spaghetti. We both enjoyed it. Isivro and Brenda were busy but took excellent care of us. We will return next time we are in NY.

We came across this diner as we were exploring our new local area. We are visiting from Australia. The atmosphere was great, a genuine New York Diner, serving since 1946. The food was excellent - I had the Greek omelette (feta, tomato) and my friend had the Eggs Benedict. We were very happy with our choices. included were a tea, bottomless coffee and a juice for $50USD. The service was good, all the staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

I loved this diner! It’s such a cute spot in Long Island City that gives you an authentic old time-y feel. The staff were friendly and they’re busy but quick to seat! We filled up on an extra thick chocolate milkshake, the capresce omelette, and a tuna melt! The omelette was amazing and tuna melt was good but not my favorite so would probably try something else next time. The chocolate milkshake was also great and we’ll definitely be back to try the apple pie!

Decent for late night food. The servers are very nice. They messed up my order but fixed it quickly.

Nothing to write home about except this diner does the job! French toast was soft and buttery. Egg, bacon, sausage, ham were alright. My partner got the burrito and it was only okay.

Fun little 24 hour diner. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was mostly good. Thought it was weird to just plop slices of cheese on eggs and the country style potatoes were just mush. Overall great food and experience though. Would eat here again. Great take out muffins and pastries.

Old school cozy diner with pretty much anything you could be craving on the menu. My absolute favorite thing to get here are their pancakes because they’re soft, fluffy, not too dense, and not too sweet!!! Their curly fries are potato perfections and their cakes always hit the spot if you’re looking for a light snack/treat. Prices are reasonable and there’s tons of seating so I’ve never had to wait for a table even during weekend brunch.

First time visiting this dinner and I am glad I did. I pass this place almost every weekend and have the curiosity to taste the food I am a big fan of dinner food. Nothing extraordinary about this place I will say is average compared to other restaurants. The service was good very attentive staff. Super easy to get to, right next to the court square train station, like the G,E and 7 trains. I will recommend this place!

This is an American diner open 24/7 365! Very retro feel and provides some kick butt fresh baked pies. They have an extensive menu, so they got something for everyone. We had an apple Martini, and it was really good if you liked a nice sweet drink. The size was of great value as well. We went on Thanksgiving, so the restaurant was nonstop busy. Every empty seat gets filled right away, and the take out orders kept rolling in. The Buffalo wings are a must try. We opted for curly fries instead of regular, and it was DELICIOUS. The wings are fried and crispy to perfection. Comes with blue cheese dip on side, and it was my top fav. Cream of turkey soup was not too salty, warm, mildly thick like soup. It's creamy and honestly very good, in my opinion. We dipped the bread in, and it was a great pair. Honey, glazed ham over chestnut stuffing was surprisingly good. The chestnut stuffing wasn't too salty but but Tham was salty, so it worked out well. Pumpkin pie was also a cheer on top to the meal. With the light whipped cream on the side, the meal was super satisfying. My main complaint was it was so busy I wished there was more servers helping since it took a while for everything and the seat we were at was by the window and we ate freezing otherwise the meal itself was pretty good.

Food 7/10 For some reason, the grilled sandwich hit extremely hard. It really is just standard diner food, but for some reason I quite enjoyed it on a weekend night. Probably a great spot for the drunk munchies. Atmosphere 10/10 Here fully for the vibes and the fact that it’s a landmark. The vibes were spot on, with furniture and fixtures probably from the 80s. Cool stuff and worth checking out once. Service 8/10 Standard diner service, everyone was nice and helpful .

First time dining inside and I definitely enjoyed the food. The waiter wasn’t accommodating enough but he wasn’t rude so that was a plus. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve had in NYC and their strawberry cheesecake was very good! I would definitely like to have breakfast next time I go. Till next time!

The diner has a super chill vibe, great customer service, and the food comes out fast. I've been here for breakfast and even stopped by late at night for a chocolate shake, always hits the spot. Plus, it’s a true 24/7 spot, which is rare and appreciated.

A LIC staple, this diner is open 24/7 and has been a consistent go to spot for my friends and I after a long night out. The interior has lots of seating, with both booth and table seating, and bright lights. The service here is fairly quick and staff are nice. When my friend and I went, we got some wings and two sandwiches. The wings were pretty solid and came with a bleu cheese sauce. The sandwiches were also great (considering it was 4am). Both dishes came with fries, which I thought were alright (but I'm not the biggest fry person). Overall, decent and reliable spot for some good American diner food.

The food was not the best, the french toast had no flavor added. Tasted like toast. The bacon was good and martini was good. Service was okay. They came over once to take orders and dropped the food then didn’t come back until we asked for the check.

Didn't like the way my omelet came out. I asked, is this how it is supposed to look. I was told yesterday because of egg whites. Very disappointed I was. It appeared to be rushed to me.

Authentic 24-hours open American diner 40.74619 -73.94569 on the intersection of the 7, G, E and M trains at the three Court Square subway stations in Long Island City, Queens NY, this 24-hours open diner serves all-day breakfast, salads, sandwiches, burgers and desserts and diner with chicken, fish & wings, steaks & chops, appetisers & roasts, sauté specialities, Greek & Italian specialities and upscale seafood. If not on the menu, it will serve any request. In May 2023, we ordered stuffed salmon fillet with broccoli and fries on the side. The cold Stella Artois tasted excellent. The restaurant serves the food ordered quickly in large quantities, but don’t expect delicate flavours. Its main aim is to fill your empty stomach with plenty of calories. It does that well. Court Square Diner is an authentic diner for the experience.

Watch out when taking a dessert… :) (there was mold on our rice pudding) for the rest, the main dishes are fine. Some servers are not that enthusiastic.

I'm a little disappointed because I paid $19 for a chicken Caesar wrap with fries and the fries and pickles were the best part. The wrap didn't taste anything like it had Caesar dressing on it. Thankfully, it was hot but I think because it was fresh off the grill the dressing didn't hold well. I even had to add salt to make the "grilled chicken" flavor wrap more appetizing.

Kitschy retro diner. Service is adequate, food about the same. Ordered the Griddle Cakes Deluxe, hoping for thick fluffy cakes. When I asked a worker they said it was pancakes not griddle cakes. When I asked the server they said it was griddle cakes. I asked if these are the same as the pancakes on the menu, they said yes, they're the same thing. Not sure why you have both pancakes & griddle cakes on the menu if they are the EXACT same dish. If you're looking for a no nonsense diner with a a bit of nostalgia, good portions, decent food & prices then this is your place. If you're looking for exceptional food, then I would suggest looking elsewhere. @inspiringfoodie

Classic authentic diner atmosphere and style - the food was very disappointing though and the Turkey in my Monte Cristo sandwich tasted and smelled not too good. It was not in balance with other ingredients, too, and way too much meat/turkey. Fries were okay!

Very nice looking diner but service was slow and food was mediocre. Not much options.

Asked for the burger to be prepared medium rare and it was medium. It was filling but just bland. Fries were not crispy so half of them were mush. Too expensive for what the food is.

Staff was friendly. Menu was huge, a lot of options! We had chicken and veggies with extra side of fries and a sandwich. Sandwich was a Philly style steak sandwich, no complaints, was really good.…

Passed by and attracted by the old diner look I got in. The atmosphere felt authentic, so I sit and asked for a delux burger with mashed potatoes. The meat was burned despite I asked for a medium cooking, and the mashed potatoes totally flavorless. I will not come back. The only decent food were the pickles. A minus also for the toilette, so disgusting.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Many initial red flags which I was going to overlook until the customer service I got for the pork souvlaki. Food tasted very old, overcooked and borderline rotten. I was trying to tolerate it but after a few pieces in I decided to complain. The waitress accused me in a very loud voice saying that normally she would exchange/refund but that I "ate most of it". Mind you this lady didnt even know the exact number of pieces or the meat i ordered and had poor communication earlier (asked which soup, I said "chicken" then she continued to ask "but which" as if there was a suboption to the chicken). I even told her to throw out the rest of the pieces...Place is also very dirty and had no heat either. Overly priced and wouldnt be surprised if the reviews were incentivized.

This is horrible! We felt cheated - we tipped $7 already which totals $48.21; however the bill came to my card as $50.21! Yes, 2 dollars is small, but this is quite dishonest. We will never go back to this establishment. Food was great, service was great, but due to the dishonest service, it just left us in an angered state.

I work in the area now and decided to try a late-night delivery via Uber Eats. The experience was horrible. I placed an order for a plain hamburger with curly fries. I was pleasantly surprised that the menu options via Uber Eats were detailed enough that it lets you select what you *don’t* want on the burger. When the food came, the burger had cheese. Not sure how, when adding cheese is a separate and more expensive option that I didn’t select. I got a refund from Uber and attempted to order again. This time, I specified in the order notes NO CHEESE, and asked for the fries to be packed into a separate container, as many diners do to help it survive the delivery. On the second delivery attempt, the food came as pictured. Again, cheese on the burger. This time they added in lettuce and tomato that the order said I *didn’t* want. And yeah, they packed the fries separately…by wadding them up into a ball of tinfoil instead of a container with a cover. I love diners, but clearly the Court Square Diner does NOT know how to do delivery, nor do they care about what the customer is actually ordering. The second order was fully refunded also, and there will be no third attempt. A restaurant staff that can’t even understand what NO CHEESE means on two separate orders isn’t worth anyone’s time.

came here after long day with my friend thinking we would get good food the first picture is my Philly cheesesteak it was uncooked and second picture is my friends crab cake and Mac and cheese that had regular sliced American cheese on it not even done mushed together unseasoned. Saw the cook digging his nose with no gloves & on top of that I seen a roach crawling on the table.

Easily the worst diner experience I've ever had. The food was served cold, unseasoned and felt like it was slapped onto the plate in the most nonchalant way. The home fries were literally boiled potatoes with *zero* seasoning whatsoever. When I asked I was handed some salt and pepper. The toast was served with butter on half the toast. They didn't even bother to spread it on the toast. Both the potatoes and the toast arrived cold. The eggs tasted off as well, almost foul smelling. I couldn't eat most of the food and had to leave and get food elsewhere. No one even bothered to ask why we left 90% of the food uneaten. Truly horrible service and experience.

I appreciate that it's 24 hours, always nice to have a place that's always open if you need some rations. Unfortunately, the food is god-awful and also pricey. I got a slice of strawberry shortcake and a matzo ball soup which together cost nearly $20 with tax and tip. My matzo ball soup was tiny, inedibly salty, and had no vegetables or anything in it. Just salty broth with a joyless ball of matzo. The strawberry shortcake was pretty stale and the strawberries were past ripe. Overall ambiance is fine, it's a classic-looking diner. But there's no old diner charm, just sleepy servers surrounded by takeout bags. Also half the place was shut down and dark which was a bit creepy.

It was our last day in NYC and needed a semi-quick bite to eat before we took off, and this place was close and had decent reviews so we decided to just come here. Huge mistake. I was SO disappointed by about everything here. The people were nice, but it was the slowest service I’ve ever received. We got in around 11:20 and had to wait a few minutes to be seated, which was about 11:30. They took our drink order right away, and then it took a few minutes to come back to get our meal order which was fine. After we placed our order, it took AN HOUR to get our food. They had to have lost our ticket. We saw multiple tables seated and served before we got our food. They didn’t ever come back to check on us except once to refill my coffee. I ordered eggs benedict and my husband got a patty melt with a side of ranch. I was hoping the food would at least warrant another star but it did not. They didn’t bring my husband’s ranch out with his sandwich and he had to ask for two more times before they remembered to get it. His patty melt was incredibly dry and disappointing. My eggs benedict were just sad. I didn’t finish them. I was sorely disappointed coming here and we honestly just should have left and went across the street to Dunkin Donuts for a cheaper and better breakfast.

I had to put one star because the food was so terrible. I ordered in from my hotel and the service was great. But the food, unremarkable. Extremely generic and low quality. I guess I was expecting too much from a 24-hour diner.

Never coming to this place again. They made me move my table mid-meal. Ridiculous. Food is average at best. Place is dirty. Only diner in the area. Glad I dont live here
