I don't know what I expected when I was walking into somewhere called westway diner but it wasn't what I got anyway. I think with the name I was expecting it to be old fashioned red & white. The place was nice enough though, food was lovely and the prices were good considering the location.

The food was really good and the staff was super nice. The selection was pretty expansive and the prices decent for new york. Definitely vegetarian and kid friendly options.

Always come in for breakfast. Never had a bad meal. Normally seat at the counter. I have tge egg white omelet meat lovers. Staff is great. They have different prices for cash and credit cards. Overall great experience.

Great food and service. Worth waiting in line to get in.

The cosiest of little diners! The pancakes were light, fluffy and so tasty, the ice cream was really good and the staff were very friendly! We went back a few times for our breakfast, very consistent, will be back!

Speaking from the I, my experience and opinions. I love eating at Diners, and Westway did not disappoint.  It was very clean, the service was decent, the staff was polite, and the food was delicious.  They have a very big menue with lots of varieties. We were seated, given water and food order taken within 10 mins. The food arrived quickly, with smiles and very hot. The prices are reasonable.  My partner ordered something that I disliked.  She asked me to try it, and I did.  I can honestly say it was the best sautéed mushrooms with garlic that I ever had.  I ate most of them off her plate.  DELICIOUS!!   I would absolutely eat here again.

We take breakfast , was very big portion. Cofe unlimited. We really liked this place 😊 good price

This is a great American Diner with really good diner food. Great place for breakfast. The service is really fast and the staff are very professional. Make sure to know what you want to order once the server comes to your table. Everything moves very fast. Not to mention the Great prices for the food you get. Great stop if your looking for diner food.

Westway Diner is proof that breakfast has no curfew. Who says you can’t have French toast for lunch! Cozy vibes and that NYC classic diner energy

I enjoyed our breakfast. We ordered a Florentine and California eggs Benedicts, and they were really tasty. Although the Benedict sauce was a little broken, you could tell the butter was slightly separated from the yolks. There was a line outside, but it didn’t take more than five minutes to get us in. The servers were very attentive, always making sure we had plenty of coffee and water. Mauro, our server, was especially nice.

I’ve been coming to Westway Diner for years, and every time I walk in, it truly feels like a second home. I’m always happy to see familiar faces, and Antonio has been an excellent waiter every single visit. He always makes sure my order comes out immaculate, whether I’m here with family or friends. The service is consistently warm, the food is great, and I always leave happy. Westway Diner never disappoints.

personally I recommend these items on this menu •“A Good Meal” the WestWay Specialties •Fried Fish Filet or An Egg Salad tray •Any item served with a soup or salad♥️ •French onion soup 🍜 21+ items •Whiskey Sour •Brownie ice cream sundae •Candy Apple Red Margarita •Carrot Cake •Creamsicle Milk-Shake I posted the destroyed special menu, & the pie bar… Please update, bottom of fridge machine 📸🤳🏾🎞️

Great diner with so many options to choose from. Cheap with big portions. Service was rapid and professional. Will defo use again on my return!!! Thank you 👍

We ate here twice once for breakfast and then for dinner on the recommendation of the concierge in our hotel We were not disappointed the food and service were excellent Our breakfast orders consisted of bagels, toasted sandwich and omelette in dinner orders were spaghetti marinara with chicken, french dip sandwich, gyros and Greek salad and a chilli cheeseburger Service was quick but we were not rushed. Prices were very reasonable and portions were good. Would definitely recommend

Classic American Diner experience in Hell’s Kitchen. Stopped on a Sunday night and was seated immediately. Menu is expansive and pretty reasonably priced relative to the area. Food was solid and it seems like they have all the standards down well. Did not blow me away but that’s not what you go to a diner for. Service was excellent and very attentive. Food came out fast and they did not rush us out. Overall, would recommend. 4.4/5 -BJ

Westway Diner is THE BEST diner! We tried another diner (Skylight) and fully regret going there. If you want a warm, cozy diner with good food, Westway diner is the place to be. Everybody from the front to waiters everyone made us feel super comfortable. We had corned beef Reuben, spaghetti with meat sauce, beef Philly cheese steak wrap, lamb philly sandwich, french toast, eggs Benedict and mac and cheese and all of them were sooooo good. We also had their cheesecake and it is superb!!!! My favorite is the spaghetti meat sauce and beef Philly and cheesecake. Our kid loved it there, never fussed as he was just so comfy. He enjoyed all the food too. We will definitely come back here again when we visit NYC next time.

Westway Diner absolutely knocked it out of the park! Our Lamb Hogue was a revelation – the lamb was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by fresh toppings and a delicious, crusty roll. It was truly a standout sandwich and one of the best I've had in a long time. Beyond the incredible food, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. They were prompt with our order and checked in on us just the right amount without being intrusive. Looking at other five-star reviews, it's clear that this level of quality and service is consistent. Many reviewers praise the friendly staff, the generous portions, and the consistently delicious food across the menu. Westway Diner offers that classic diner feel with a commitment to excellence that shines through in every aspect. It's a true neighborhood gem and a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a welcoming atmosphere. Five stars without hesitation!

I got to sit at the “bar” of an old school diner! I loved every second of it. The atmosphere was great, it was busy but had this buzz of everyone chatting and having a good time. The food was exactly what I expected. I had the classic eggs Benny with Canadian bacon and was not disappointed. Highly recommend! Oh and the pies and cakes look amazing.

Great American diner experience! The food was lovely, so many options to choose from. The pancakes were super fluffy! Expect massive portions. We were served by Maria today, she was super nice to us and very patient with our order. Thank you for making our breakfast that much nicer 💕

This is as good as it gets for breakfast. We're SUPER picky, and this hits all the marks. Clean, great diner atmosphere, great menu, great service. 1 nitpick... OJ was not freshly squeezed. Real turkey on the club, great crispy bacon.

Visiting New York yesterday 12/20/2025 we came across your place on line at 10am..Coming off our 4 hour bus ride we wanted to eat and freshen up..We were acknowledged the moment we stood in your line. The Gentleman outside greeting us and kept us up to date on how much longer.. Then he escorted us in where another greeted us and sat us at our table..One server came over took our drink order them another server came by to make sure someone took our order, we assured her that he did..Our Coffees came fast , he took our order, answering questions we had..then within 8 min we had our order, few minutes later server came by to see if we needed anything else too!! Food was good, everything was done as we requested..Check please and off to the register we went as our sever said have a good day..Cashier asked how everything was, cashed us out in a Friendly, Smile manner!! 😃 Awesome Experience at Westway Diner, which is great when your from out of town/ state, being treated so well started our day off in NY with a good vibe!! 😉😊 we returned later for a quick sandwich before we headed home on our bus..same quality, even the Lady ( not sure if owner, had a dress on)we encountered who worked the breakfast shift till 7pm, who must have been exhausted asked us how everything was with a Smile! Great Team Work and One on One Customer Interaction!! Merry Christmas 2025🎄 Pam & Lisa 😊😊

Westway Diner in NYC delivers a classic American breakfast experience, and the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs is a must-try. The crispy corned beef paired with perfectly cooked eggs creates a hearty, satisfying meal that captures the essence of a traditional diner breakfast. It's a true comfort food dish and a great way to start the day!

Westway Diner is New York on a plate: huge menu, bigger portions, zero judgment. Come for eggs, leave with pancakes, hash browns, and a new life outlook.

The food was amazing and the service was absolutely great. So far have eaten here twice this week

Had 2 dinners at this local diner conveniently located from our hotel on 9th & 42nd. Very extensive fare options offered at this diner with good quality and generous portions. They had the tastiest homemade chicken noodle soup and very good meatloaf sandwich or plated dinner. We ended up taking half our meal back for leftovers which tasted just as good the next day. Ivan is awesome, very attentive and efficient and especially patient with us as we took our time to peruse their menu. We'd have returned for another meal but they didn't have burgers on their menu. But will definitely return on our next NYC visit. Thanks, IVAN!

GREAT diner!! Fabulous food, fast & courteous service, even when it's busy. Highly recommend!!

This place has great food and even better desserts. Seated right away, I loved how all staff worked together to make sure service was great for everyone. Food was really good, we had the Cajun chicken sandwich and a cup of chili. It was cold so I added a cup of hot chocolate and even that was great. We ordered a slice of German chocolate cake to go.

Great dinner with a wide variety of breakfast foods. You can have a traditional lox and bagel plate or Benedicts or pancakes. All the food was delicious and the staff was friendly. We were lucky and arrived and were seated right away but there was a big line right after us. We had lox and bagel which was great...capers, cream cheese, onion and salmon with a fresh roasted bagel.cPancakes and sausage and more "American" breakfast food. The pork sausage was better than the turkey. Fluffy and perfectly prepared eggs. The menu is huge so options for everyone.

I have been to countless diners, and I’m from Jersey but I was highly impressed by the food. Service was great food came out fast, the pancakes were so fluffy and delicious everything was great.

Visited this diner when on holiday in NY with me family. We’ve been hoping for the classic American diner like in the movies (we’re from Europe) and that’s exactly the one. Great atmosphere awesome food super nice staff. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Best diner experience ever! Westway Diner NYC absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was fantastic, but what really made the experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single waiter and team member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel taken care of from the moment we walked in until we left. Service was fast, professional, and full of positive energy — you can tell they truly care about their customers. Experiences like this are rare, and it’s 100% because of the amazing people working there. Huge shoutout to the entire staff — they all deserve raises! I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Westway Diner to everyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow what a find. Great American diner serving great and very reasonably priced food. Great service and friendly staff. Usual free coffee/soft drink refill.. Extremely fairly priced for New York. A must vist. We did quite a lot !! Everything we had was cooked to order and was delicious. Oh and it can be very busy here so you might have to wait to be seated We cannot recommend Westway diner highly enough.

Whilst visiting New York for the week we came to westway diner regular! The service is excellent. It is fast and efficient and the staff are so friendly! The food is just delicious! It is so tasty and filling and the portions are amazing. The prices are very fair too for the portions you do get! We would definitely recommend visiting here if you come to NYC!

After surviving a red eye flight from Seattle, my first cup of coffee made me feel alive again! Forget the chains, I enjoy the simplicity of fried eggs & toast for breakfast. The side of avocado was the perfect touch of green. As a West Coast girl, I appreciated the old school style of service where my coffee never went cold.

Very happy with the food and service here. The food is fresh and tasty and I really appreciated their hospitality. They let us stay slightly after they closed the diner to finish the food. It’s usually really busy here, you might need to queue outside, but it’s worth it! We didn’t have to wait more than 10-15 minutes. Very reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. The pancakes are massive (about 20-30cm wide and very, very fluffy, they melt in your mouth. Besides of having great food, this is the birthplace of Seinfeld!

I am writing this review as I eat my food because I am so happy with the service. I have been to many restaurants here in NYC and this restaurant by far has the most amazing service. The team members and waiting staff especially are the reason this place is so good. The waiting staff is very attentive, diligent, and hardworking. I want to speak directly with the Boss to compliment his choice in selecting his staff members. If I had the money, I would gladly gift a bonus to every member this Christmas.

We had an awesome family breakfast at this cozy spot. The moment we stepped in, they served us water, which was a really nice touch. The food was super tasty, and the vibe was just right. Plus, the waiters speak Spanish, making the whole experience extra welcoming. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our visit even better. Overall, it was a fantastic morning, and we'd highly recommend this place!

One of us ate, one of us had iced cream. It’s nice when a place can handle that like it’s nothing. The menu was huge, so huge it was hard to pick. The service was great, the food was great. It’s a classic diner just the way I like them to be. The person who recommended it said that Covid really knocked out a lot of diners, so good that this one made it.

We found this little gem on day one and went here every morning for breakfast , excellent choice, great food, fair prices and very friendly staff, would definitely recommend we would make this our go to place on our next visit !

I was really impressed by the food here! My mom wanted to go here for its connection to Seinfeld. Thankfully I actually am old enough to appreciate that, so that aspect in itself was cool. The food being great was a huge bonus. The menu was large and I really enjoyed the fettuccini Alfredo I got. My sister got mac and cheese and it honestly looked really good, like it was homemade and not Kraft or something. We also all got dessert, which was also delicious. I got a mousse cake, which was decadent, my sister got ice cream, and my mom got tiramisu which she said was absolutely delicious. I’d definitely go back again if I was in the area. I’d like to try the breakfast in the future.

Great American diner with friendly staff and efficient service. Staff are extremely attentive. The coffee is always hot and they'll make sure you are always topped up on the unlimited refills for coffee or ice water. We ordered the french toast with maple syrup and Pancakes, Bacon, Whipped Butter and Maple Syrup. Food arrived hot and fresh. The American style pancakes were soft and not stodgy at all. The bacon was crispy and the syrup was warm and gooey. The french toast was well cooked with a light dosing of icing sugar and just the right level of cinnamon. Paired with the maple syrup this was the perfect breakfast treat. This diner proved popular as it was busy at 9:30am with a cozy atmosphere. Recommend coming here if you want to experience a hearty American breakfast with warm and friendly service.

Kerri Martin

A great diner with a massive menu. Perfect spot for a homey meal when in the theatre district. Spent time here between a matinee and evening performance. Eat a open faced turkey sandwich and a brownie chocolate shake. Truly hit the spot. I come to NYC often for work and would come back here again.

Monika K.

Typical american diner. You can find meals for breakfast, lunch or diner. We ordered a sandwich and it was absolutely amazing. Next time I would love to try something from breakfast menu. Service was fast.

Gary Jarvis

My wife and I are having a 3 night “Whistle Stop” tour of NYC. We are staying at the Yotel a few blocks away from the Westway and have had breakfast here on both mornings so far and can’t express how great this place is for food, staff friendliest and atmosphere of this place. Especially the service today by Imelda. When we return to New York again, we will definitely be returning here 😊😊😊

Very scrumptious food. We got some kind of celestial, heaven sent, god-tier multi-layered chocolate cake for dessert that sent us straight into another dimension. Highly recommend. 🤌

Best breakfast in or near Times Square. My wife, daughter and I discovered Westway on our first day in NYC 3 years ago and made a point to hunt it down once more on our most recent visit. Not only is the food first rate, but the staff is friendly, courteous, and on point with coffee refills, butter, syrup, and anything else you may need. Even on a busy Black Friday morning, we were seated very quickly. The prices are more than reasonable, and to top it off, the restrooms are fragrant as a freshly shampooed Rapunzel.

Nice little diner with quick and friendly service. Save money when you pay with cash. Diverse menu including a healthier section breakfast. I ordered an egg white omelet called The Brutus which came with broccoli, mushrooms salad and whole grain toast. It was just what I wanted. They also have daily specials. Look for the placards on the table. Enjoy :-)

Dermot O'Mahony

Really excellent place for breakfast. The food was so much better than it looked. It looked dull, very little colour, but it tasted great! Staff were extremely attentive and polite. Fast service! Would absolutely come back!

Juman Doleh-Alomary

Great food with the real NY feel. Had their lox Benedict and the waffles. Both were delicious. The Benedict sauce was a bit too heavy for me, but delicious 😋. Will come again

Christopher Z

We stopped by for a quick breakfast; strawberry pancakes, an omelette, and home fries. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, and the service was great.

Ruqaya Mustafa

We visited Westway Diner every morning during our trip to New York City, that’s how much we loved it! It quickly became our favorite breakfast spot in the city. The food was consistently delicious, fresh, and satisfying, with a great variety of classic diner options. Whether it was eggs, pancakes, or a hearty breakfast sandwich, everything hit the spot. The staff were friendly and efficient, making us feel right at home each morning. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was that perfect blend of relaxed and bustling, exactly what you want from a classic New York diner. Can’t recommend this place enough. Westway Diner is a must if you’re in NYC and want a reliable, tasty, and welcoming start to your day. 10/10!

Ok. This is neighborhood diner. If you are looking for a nice place for your family, or just to have a nice quiet breakfast, this is the place! The prices are fair, and the staff are really nice folks from all around NYC. For Native NYorkrrs, i personally recommend. Tourist, sure! Get out of broadway, Time Square and all the hustle and lights, and take a moment to enjoy a taste of Midtown:)

The food was so good and it came in such big quantity! The service was very fast and the waiters were super nice. Loved the atmosphere and I suggest it to anyone who wants to try the classic american breakfast.

We visited this place 2years ago on our first trip to NYC.It is our 3th time now visiting the city and we came everyday for breakfast. atmosphere is so enjoyable,food is comforting and the service on top and sometimes a funny note 😅 .best pancakes and french toast👌

Visited beginning of November based off a NYC travel page I follow. Definitely recommend, the service was great, I forgot the gentleman’s name but he was so attentive. We arrived right at opening and had no wait time on a Saturday morning. They have a new section up top which we loved and the restrooms were so clean and well kept . ( as a traveler we appreciated this!). Food was fresh, and large portions definitely will be visiting again on my next NYC trip.

T Rosemary

One of the better and semi-affordable places in the area. The food was pretty good, and the staff was awesome. They are constantly doing rounds checking in on us. They did get pretty crowded but even then we were sat fairly quick. All the food that came to our table looked delicious. Would recommend checking it out!

Nicolás Espinosa

I love this diner! Their menu is huge and it has a lot of options for everyone, including kids. The service is pretty good and the place is nice and clean. Their steak & eggs is superb.

We hadn’t had breakfast since we’ve been here so we decided to stop by this place. Staff was very friendly, the food came out fast and everything was good! If you’re not an early morning person and you want breakfast in the afternoon, this is your spot! Highly recommended!

Staff are great! It's a lovely little place. I had a turkey and swiss sandwich which was lovely, my partner had the spicy chicken with onions and peppers, that came with chips and he also really enjoyed his meal too.

This is what a diner is supposed to be - buzzing with folks from all walks of life enjoying lively conversations and great comfort food. I felt lucky to find a table quickly and was allowed to linger for nearly an hour even though my order arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. I had an omelette that they altered my eccentricities. The coffee was hot, fresh and continually refilled. All in all eating at Westway Diner enhanced my trip to New York City. I'll go out of my way to visit again.

A classic american diner. Very good service, very good food and a very nice, classic us dinner Ambiente. A great Menue to Choose from. Try the french Toast "Red, White, Blue"! Fresh Tasty fruits on a french Toast... wonderfull.❤️ even the maple Sirup you get is warmed up a bit..Just perfect. So go there, order, have fun and enjoy.

Perfect location, Manhatten West close to Port Authority. Warm and fantastic typical diner atmosphere. Perfect, professional and very fast service. Extreme friendly. You feel good, you feel home from the first moment when you arrive and talk with the doorman til the end when you pay at the cash desk. Food quality amazing. Absolutely good prices. 4 days NYC = 4 days breakfast in WESTWAY DINER

The only thing I didn’t like about this diner was that I didn’t have time to go back again in the morning. Really enjoyed the food. It was fresh delicious highly recommend if you want a diner. Go there and get a nice Grubb.

So delicious and enjoyable that we came back twice in our 3 day stay! Service is great, menu is huge so options are incredible. Classic American dishes to enjoy especially great if you’re there to try all the classics as an excited girl from England! The eggs, biscuits and sausage gravy with cheesy grits was a highlight and the filter coffee is great. Classic diner booths and really good service in a great location.

A classic diner! Everyone here was so nice. We walked in during the snowstorm of Feb 22nd and they were welcoming everyone who was sheltering from the storm. The food was amazing, classic. I had a pastrami on rye and my partner ordered the chicken Americana. We also had disco fries on the side and they were quite tasty. Come here for the ultimate comfort diner food!

Mr C

Ate here three times as it was local. A bright, clean diner with good spacious seating and reasonable prices. Service was attentive and all the different meals we had were tasty, well cooked and arrived hot.

Karina Ana Ekhardt

The portions are huge and the food tastes way better than it looks; definitely delicious comfort diner food. The staff were super friendly and very attentive, and the service was impressively fast! Prices are affordable and the restaurant is just about a 7-10 minute walk from Times Square. Highly recommend if you want a hearty, classic breakfast/dinner meal in the city!

We went on Saturday 25 for lunch. There was a wait line at the door of the restaurant. The waiting time was about 10 minutes until we were inside. We took cesar salad, New York style sandwiche, pancakes and breakfast. The food was good. The service was normal too. I would recommend the restaurant.

A great spot for comfort food, located very close to Times Square, but away from the hustle & bustle of the neighborhood. Old school diner vibes & an extensive menu that contains any type of dish you could think of. Very decent restaurant when walking or staying close to Times Square.

After a 5 hour bus ride from DC, a warm French dip sandwich in a nice quiet restaurant was just what I needed. The restaurant had a calm atmosphere; it was mostly empty except for a few other tables. The service was awesome; our waitress was friendly and gave us some recommendations. Food-wise, I can only speak for the French dip compare to other French dips at different restaurants. It was alright, nothing spectacular. The bread wasn’t too toasted to begin with; so when I dipped it it became too soft. Nothing inherently wrong with that, I’m just a toasty sandwich kinda guy I guess. The fries were pretty standard fries; nothing outstanding but pretty alright. The restaurant was nice and pleasant overall. I’m open to coming back, but I’ll likely get a different sandwich at that point.

Was here two different occasions, one takeout dinner and one weekend breakfast with a friend. Overall both times I enjoyed the food. Service was good as well.

Stopped by from a recommendation of the hotel staff at Intercontinental! Service was super fast and pleasant. The food was great and reasonably priced. I ordered water and quickly discovered it was tap water, so I switched to orange juice. I personally don't like tab water, so I thought I'd mention it in case others wondered. Definitely recommend it for a quick breakfast!

Prices are indeed reasonable, but the food is just average.

I thought the staff was super nice qnd the food was realsly good. Its a bit on the pricer side, but I am from GA, so, I know New York is just pricey. I did not like thst they could not do sweet tea, but I notice that is also just like a New York thing. They were crazy busy and there was a bit of a wait. The waiters more like they are on skates and its really noisy in there, but overall good. I will not take away from how nice they were, which I didn't see a lot of in New York.

Love the vibes here. Definitely stop by here again when I'm in NeyYork. Only giving it a 4 as since the service was fast and on point, the western omelette & potatoes I had was a bit overcooked. As you see the chicken is waffles in the background my gf had was great 👀 highly recommend stopping here for some good ol dinner food 😇

Pretty typical American diner. The food came out quickly and the French toast was tasty. Service was okay, but not very warm.

Busy on a snowy Sunday at 9 am so we waited a but they were very efficient with moving parties along and bringing out the food. Our party had pancakes, egg benedicts and a breakfast wrap and we all enjoyed it. Friendly people. Huge menu, plenty of vegetarian options. Food wasn't anything extraordinarily but very solid! Realized this diner was referenced by sienfield on our way out!

I am writing to express my long-standing appreciation for the exceptional food and service at Westway, a place I have cherished for over 20 years, particularly during the Thanksgiving season. The quality of your food has consistently met my expectations, and I can always rely on a delightful dining experience. However, I feel compelled to share my most recent visit's experience regarding my server. Unfortunately, the service provided by the female waitress assigned to my table did not reflect the high standards I have come to expect from your establishment. While the food continued to impress, her attentiveness and professionalism left much to be desired. I hope my experience is not indicative of your team's usual performance, as it is crucial for both food quality and service to align to maintain the excellent reputation Westway has built over the years. Thank you for taking the time to consider my feedback. I look forward to my next visit and hope for a more satisfying experience in terms of service.

Pretty standard NYC diner. I came here because the line was really long on a Saturday (which moved quickly), but they were most likely tourists. The Hell’s Kitchen wrap was very dry and plasticy, but the waffle was good enough.

The Flawless

The Manager Felipe made room for our 9 person group which was excellent. We were super appreciative of this thank you so much. Then our server was a tad bit fast with wanting to collect our orders but we are from Chicago and the east coast is synonymous with a faster pace lifestyle. That was the only fault I had the food was amazing and HUGE PORTIONS worth the price especially in nyc.

Crystal F

The standout feature of this restaurant was the service, which was both fast and incredibly accurate. Our orders were taken and delivered with impressive speed, making it a great stop if you're in a rush. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the pace. Everything we tried was simply 'just okay'—nothing inherently bad, but certainly nothing memorable or exciting enough to warrant a second visit.

Anthony Ramdath

Great diner. Ordered the cornbeef hash and chicken and waffles. Cornbeef hash was average but the chicken and waffles had great flavor. Quick service, cozy and friendly. The wait is outside but moves rather quickly. Would recommend.

We arrived at 9:30 on a Saturday and were told they close at 10pm. While the servers weren't too happy we decided to eat there, we sat down and ordered quickly. I had a pizza burger deluxe and my friend simple had fries. Our food arrived quickly and it was exactly what I was expecting from a diner. Also, they have happy hour specials just $5 a drink, which is good to know for future reference. Definitely would eat here again.

Autumn Springer

Historic NY diner with excellent service and staff. We were so excited to see that the diner where Seinfeld wrote Seinfeld was right by our hotel. We came in as a group for breakfast and were seated right away. The host was great and told us the history of the place. Esmeralda was our waitress and was so fast, thorough, and accurate. We had our food quick. The atmosphere is fabulous. A real time-capsule of everything a diner should be and used to be. Our food was basic diner fare. Nothing too fancy but good. Our omelet was a bit overcooked but I'm not complaining cause I had a good experience.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: A diner which is pretty standard fare The extended review... Food: Chicken and waffles - 3/5 - Pretty standard fare in terms of taste. The plus side is that the portion size was very healthy. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - Definitely has the diner feeling down.

This place is good if you want a quick diner style meal. They do things quickly - you barely have time to look over the menu before you are pushed to order. Food is good but pretty simple.

Pretty good overall. They serve up all the traditional breakfast favorites. The portions were good. The food is pretty standard fare. I didn't see our server for a while and when I asked for a coffee refill, he seemed bothered by my request. Worth another try another time.

Westway Diner (614 9th Ave, New York, NY) was a solid stop for lunch. The food was about a 6/10 — decent and filling, though nothing that really stood out. Service was good, with attentive staff, and the diner itself was clean and comfortable. We went around lunchtime and it wasn’t terribly busy, which made for a relaxed visit. Overall, a dependable choice if you’re in the area.

The food here is undeniably good, but the service quality varies greatly depending on who happens to serve you, which is disappointing for a place that seems to pride itself on customer experience. This is my second visit. The first time, I was impressed by the server who took the time to introduce the menu and make thoughtful recommendations, making me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. It was a memorable experience that encouraged me to return. However, this time was a completely different story. The server’s attitude was dismissive and unprofessional to the point where it felt like I was somehow inconveniencing them by simply being there. The dishes were practically thrown on the table without a word, and whenever I attempted to ask a question, the server quickly walked away, showing a complete lack of interest or respect. I even had to request a refill of drip coffee, and they responded with an attitude, telling me I’d already been given one, as if I was pushing some unreasonable boundary. The inconsistency in service here is truly troubling. If this establishment wants to keep its reputation, it needs to ensure all its staff treat customers with the same level of respect and courtesy.

I don't write reviews but the horrible service we experienced last time We were there was really bad (sunday October 19th 2025), first the waiter was rushing us to order, because we were not ready to order He started speaking in spanish to us, honestly he seems to be making fun of us or at leats that is how we felt. He just delivered the food to the table and never, never come back to check on us, no one time, We wanted more coffee but he never offer us more, the food was good, is always good every single time we go there, but the service is very important also; we asked the check to 4 different people ( I am not even kidding), I do not know if this guy was the owner or the owner's son, or the manager, but his attitude was the worse, making us feel like we were bothering, We like to eat in this dinner when we go to the city but I will not stay and eat in this place if the server is this guy again, I rather to go somewhere else. He told us his name is.''Pancho" , but the check said that his name is ALVARO.
