Jahn's Albans Reviews
This is my favorite neighborhood spot for breakfast. Has the old school diner vibes. Service is always great, the gentleman who fills the coffee is always on top of it for refills :) dined in for the first time since the pandemic began, and they were pretty busy but still attentive. Happy that they’re still in business, go support them!
Excellent : very good service: courteous and attentive, and good cooking. Very nice traditional decor, carefully maintained. It is a real pleasure to eat in a restaurant which is so well managed and has continued a tradition during so many years. I discovered Jahn's unexpectedly, and will return. Shall you have many more years of offering excellent hospitality.
Food was good and my family left an empty plate after. The only problem was the egg. The egg should be more cooked and I didn't like the yolk after I cut it supposedly "fried egg" and there were two options fried or scrambled.
I did not know this diner existedin Jackson Heights. . Nice typical diner. Very attentive staff. One of the few remaining diners in Queens!
Great old school diner luncheonette and dessert place. It is the last of what was many locations. I had a great breakfast and served quickly. I just ate too much for the dessert.😂
Excellent as always. Best deep fried French toast in 5 boroughs and beyond. I hope this, the last Jahn’s location, doesn’t close too. Please keep supporting local businesses!
Had a lovely date with my girlfriend, just a clam experience, would come here again since they do care about having great service, very kind and lovely.
I’m in love. Jahn’s is an establishment I’d only heard of in stories for years as their Bronx location closed before my time, but it remains alive in Queens. Between the antique vibe, the delicious food, and incredible ice cream, I now know why people speak of it with such warm nostalgia.
I have loved this place since I first came here as a teenager. Now I come with my own family and the cozy atmosphere has never changed. The waiters are kind and always ready to bring another fresh cup of coffee. I love that this establishment has a mix of both young and older patrons. Jahns is a special gem in our neighborhood and I hope it stays that way.
I love diners in general and Jahn’s is one of them. What makes this diner unique is that rather it being along a major highway or boulevard like most diners, it is squarely on 37th Avenue in the middle of the Jackson Heights so it is fairly easy to walk to. Aside from that, there are no frills - just straight good food.
After hearing about Jahn's from people who grew up a few decades before myself I had always wanted to try it and see what it was all about. The hamburgers were well priced, portioned well and tasted great! I was glad there was a 6oz and a 12oz option as we wanted to save room for ice cream after. The ice cream options were plentiful and once again the price, portions and flavor was on point. The staff was very friendly and kind. The parking situation in the area is unfortunate because I would frequent it much more often if it wasn't so difficult to get a spot around the area. I will definitely be returning with friends and family.
Classic old diner. They make a great grilled cheese and provide unlimited coffee.
One of the best diners in Queens! As soon as you walk in, you feel like you went back in time with all the retro lighting and decor. It’s a cozy and delicious place to chill with friends or family. I got the Jahn's Special Omelette and it was both delicious and a great value being that it came with an omelette and 3 pancakes at $14.95. Also can’t beat the service with the refillable coffee and friendly staff! They make you feel very welcome at Jahn’s and I can’t wait to go back!
This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last . As soon as we entered this place , we were greeted by Leslie with her lovely smile. We came here with some family members ( 4 adults and 2 children ).and were seated in a comfortable place .Our server, Joaquin, waa very thoughtful, efficient and helpful.! Our brunch was delicious and plentiful ! I couldn't eat everything. .
I visited this place on a Saturday in-between lunch and dinner to grab a dessert. The atmosphere has a classic diner feel which I liked. I ordered their famed Jahn's sundae, which is three scoops of ice cream with a lot of whipped cream on top. It took quite a while to eat but was well worth the trip.
Ha diner with my friends again at Jahn's, our old school days ice cream hang out. As always we had a great time because the food never disappoints and the staff are nice and friendly as always. It's obviously a happy place to work and eat.
Superb old school diner with a wonderful beautiful ambiance, very nice and clean restaurant. Seats are dark maroon color , gives you the different type of feeling in a good way. they have family booths and bar type l shaped table, beautiful. Waiters and staff is very polite and welcoming. Menu is very good and dishes are mouth watering. went for breakfast and not disappointed, Mexican omelet with house made potatoes are out standing and my server keep checking on me with free coffee refiles. Definitely will go for dinner also.
Still a great place to get ice cream after all these years. A vestige of Queen's older days. Been there 60 years. Real flowers on every table and every table is marble is a nice touch. Yes they still do sell "The Kitchen Sink" sundae. Great ice cream, sundaes, shakes, floats, malteds, and egg creams. Also have diner food (which we didn't have this visit).
Beautiful restaurant with a large variety of almost everything you can want from a diner! Their desserts are what they’re known for. I usually come by for a quick bite for a date. They serve you large portions & are always refilling your water/ coffee cup. I definitely recommend their spinach pie & anything on the dessert menu.
Love this place. Everything about Jahn’s is soothing, and it’s a total happy place. Great food, and amazing ice cream. Love the decor and the fact that it’s always there for you!
Went for Thanksgiving- quality for price was 10/10 Service was exceptional- thank you for another great year coming for the holiday!
The food and service here is great. Such a nice old school diner and atmosphere. Happy to dine local and in a community staple in my area!
My favorite neighborhood diner. It is such a gem. It’s one of the rare New York places that feels like your time traveling. The vibe and decor here is perfect. When my family are friends are visiting from out of town I always bring them here and as soon as they walk through the door they give an audible gasp and say “oh my god! I love this place”. And their food is great too!! I love their breakfast and coffee. Staff is always friendly, too! I love this place so much. Highly recommend.
This lovely place will never let me down. My family and I come here for breakfast one a week. I always get myself the Bacon cheeseburger deluxe, it never ever goes wrong. It's juicy and so tasty. The customer service is amazing, they treat each other and their customers like family. Im glad this place hasn't modernized itself because it's one of a kind spot.
Have been coming here for 36 years. More since the original closed on hillside ave. Great food and atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get
My parents and myself are regulars there. Anyone else complaining are just passing by consumers. Services is amazing no complaints! The staff are attentive, kind and humble people. I love love their Omelet and waffles 🥰
Jahns was a treat my parents would use to bribe us to behave when I was a kid in the 70’s. Alas the Jahns we went to on Myrtle Avenue is no longer there. There is, however, the Jackson Heights store still there. Our recent visit brought back all of the wonderful memories and the ice cream is still the BEST. Their coffee is also amazing. Not the modern half caf almond milk cold foam latte BUT an old fashioned cup of excellent coffee served in a white coffee cup.
First time visitor and it won’t be the last. Excellent service! The place was moderately busy with about 50% of seats filled and there were sufficient staff who were very attentive. Food was fresh and well portioned. Restaurant was clean. Old school diner decor. Didn’t get ice cream this time but great selection on the menu.
my new fave spot. came in for breakfast, cutest store front, friendy service great food! had the pancakes with some hot chocolate and it was great! cant wait to try their lunch and dinner items :D also, jose was a great server, kind and quick with everything!
Absolutely enjoyed my time eating here. I got non-breakfast at breakfast, as I always do. Service was fast and nice. Food wasn't mindblowing but it was a solid 9 out of 10, very very good. Actually the best egg cream I've had yet in nyc, being totally honest. The atmosphere was so relaxing, I have never stayed so long at a place because it was so wonderful to sit and enjoy it. I sat by myself for 45 minutes, usually I am out the door in 20. Not only that, but the prices are still low. Nobody else has got it this perfect. This is now my favorite diner and I will be returning regularly. They have a very nice looking ice cream menu and i would like to try as much as I can.
classic american diner spot in jackson heights/roosevelt avenue area. expansive menu with plenty of options for all tastes and it all sounds so nice that you will probably get stuck on what to order. we ordered a chicken parm sandwich, which came with fries and a chicken noodle soup and was one of the daily specials. also went for the big jahns special breakfast which comes with everything you'd want at brunch - eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. jahns also has a huge ice cream selection and we got one strawberry malted and one vanilla milkshake. everything was really tasty and reasonably priced with great service - definitely recommend
Growing up on Long Island, we had our local Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor, right next door to the Skating Rink. This is the LAST Jahn's left, and we hope it stays forever. This evening, we shared the Roast Brisket Platter, which includes Soup (Vegetable 👍), Bread, Potato (Baked 🥔), Vegetable (Broccoli), Beverage (Lemonade), and Dessert (Rice Pudding 🍮). The Brisket was a little dry, but the Gravy helped, and everything else was fine, all good, solid diner fare. We've been here before, and we'll come back again.
Definitely one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. We are always treated like family and the staff is so heartwarming and kind. Food wise the pancakes are perfectly fluffy and well made. We come consistently for breakfast and we are never disappointed. The dessert menu looks so tempting but I have yet to try. Will do very soon!
I loved the atmosphere of this diner, really gives you nostalgic vibes. I came for brunch over the weekend and was seated quickly. Booth was spacious and comfortable, menu was huge (and quirky) We got the Mexican omelette with pancakes, topped with strawberries and bananas. Omelette was delicious, and they were generous with the amount of fruit for the pancakes. We also ordered the Cheeseburger Deluxe, asked for medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. If you order coffee, you get unlimited refills, which they're quite adamant about offering to do. In my opinion the coffee was a bit weak and watered down, but for the price and the quantity it was expected. Overall, great value and experience. I definitely will be back with some friends, maybe to tackle the Kitchen Sink. I'd also try the waffles next time, they smelled delicious when they were making them.
Nice traditional diner. Waiters here service people nicely. Ordered an omelet with potatoes & breads. Coffee is refillable. Definitely will come again if we are around. Btw, interestingly they write recipes manually, only when you pay with cards then you got a separate one with the total amount to sign.
We enjoyed coming here. I had the chicken souflaki which was good. My daughters had the Italian omelet and the other one had a spinach n feta omelet. Everyone seemed to be there for breakfast. The ice cream was definitely homemade. The mint chocolate chip was great with big chocolate chips in it. The only thing that disappointed me was I thought the renovations would more. The panel walls were there and seemed they just change the fixtures of the lights. I thought it would be more 50s looking and brighter.
It's just a great place to eat and have a good chat with friends and family. You can enjoy the friendly ppl whom work there and have a great breakfast as well or lunch and of course dinner . So which ever meal you would prefer to have with a friend or family this would be a good choice to bring them here to Jahs and enjoy one of your days in a good place and very clean environment...
Had the dessert . Apple pie . My son had a malt shake . Very good. Very clean. Nice staff. Gave it 4 stars because I didn't have food there just dessert! Still great!
The cashier is definitely an alien in a man-suit.
Having heard about this place and craving some ice cream on a hot June day, we decided to check it out. We were not disappointed. Apparently they are also a Greek diner of sorts but the food was not to be on our plates. There was only one thing in our sights: ice cream sundaes. We had a fairly tough time deciphering the menu though. There's a lot of cute local names for things and no descriptions. We asked the waiter and he tried to tell us to just build our own sundaes. But with all the fun names we were curious and the friendly waiter flagged down the "boss man". He better explained the menu and we were like "OOooooh". The different sections are really just different sizes of sundaes with different themes. The themes are based around a single topping. So really just go ahead and order the number of scoops you want and the toppings you'd like and there you go! Find pictured my strawberry/cherry vanilla banana split. It was great!
Jahn's is one of those places that stay in your memory. I first came here as a young teenager. We used to come for their incredible Sundaes. Some things have changed, such as the mini Jukeboxes in the booths and some things on the Sundaes you now have to pay extra for. However, it still has that feeling of nostalgia. The food is good and so is the service. If you come on your birthday, you get a free Sundae, which is a very nice touch on their part. It is a neighborhood staple in Jackson Heights. It is a place that welcomes friends, families and solo diners, equally. The prices are good and the portions are big. I hope this place stays around for generations to come.
Right in the Heart of Jackson,Hiegths Queens near the corner of 37 Ave and 81St one block from the 82nd St 7 Subway station. I order a Breakfast Western Omelette with American cheese and white bread it's was very good and satisfying, to top it off with coffee really made my breakfast and Lunch, they do have specials that Finnish at 11:00AM, there's plenty of seating but depending of the day of the week it gets pack. I been coming here for years and this place has survived many changes in the neighbor, there are many restaurants in the area,the staff are friendly and helpful, nothing beats JAHNS diner.
Went to Jahn’s for thanksgiving dinner. They have quite a spread and it’s very, very reasonably priced. Food was tasty. Service was excellent. The meal came with a couple choices of soup, then salad, then a side and an entree, and dessert! Lots of food, so go hungry if you’re going in for their thanksgiving special. We got the turkey(good), with stuffing(tasty), green beans (these were okay. Wouldn’t get them again), yams (these were okay, probably will get another side next time). We also got the ham in plum sauce so we could swap and taste everything. Ham was good too. Dessert was a choice of pumpkin pie or ice cream. We got one of each. Oh and the meal does come with a glass of complimentary wine! The place is warm and cozy. Beats all that cooking and cleaning when hosting Thanksgiving at home. Perfect Thanksgiving dinner at Jahn’s!
Located on busy 37th Ave. We walked by Jahn’s one time and got reminded that morning so we went. There was a parade so cross streets were blocked and finding parking was more difficult. Meter or residential parking spaces around. Not far from Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Hts/74th St station hub. Loved the ambiance - like an old fashioned ice cream parlor/diner with the stained glass lampshades and dark wood/maroon upholstery. Narrow and long space up front, more tables in the back. Was full when we went but glad wait wasn’t too long. 3 of the waitstaff asked to take our order, but the one who actually took it became assigned to us- was patient and kept returning to check on us. Our coffee was refilled a few times. Thought prices were ok on the menu but noted later of $1 more for egg dishes (i really should check the bill while there in case have questions). I did see a note at the cashier stating a $0.50 surcharge due to the egg shortage but this was when I was already paying. Large menu - breakfast served all day, to lunch/dinner options. Got a corned beef from the egg sandwich section. Portion was ok for me, corned beef a bit dry so coleslaw and pickle helped, fried egg overwell (wasn’t asked how I wanted it). An order of Chocolate chip pancakes was big. Regular buttermilk pancakes can be picked as a side, instead of toast and hash potatoes. 3-egg Omelets - quite a few to choose from. German one had the hash potatoes already in it so can opt for pancakes. Was looking forward to some ice cream but disappointed when I learned the hot fruit toppings were not real fruits. Maybe will still order next time just to try. Ice cream menu needs more details. Had to ask what each section was about: Tummy Tickler =1 scoop, Double Double =2 , Large Tummy Tickler= 3-5 ; Banana split =2 , Royale =3 (so shareable!). Had “names/titles” but no specific description of what’s in each one.
A place where you can feel the traditional New York flavor. Started in 1897 as an ice cream chain, the lampshade with a stainless steel glass feel is unique. Went for a simple lunch for a friend's birthday, and this is actually my third visit. I can't say that the food is the best, but the kindness of the staff and the unique atmosphere of this restaurant are something that anyone visiting New York should experience at least once. Grilled American Cheese Toast was topped with tomatoes, crispy bread and rusty cheese. The neat tomatoes piqued my appetite. My friend ate an omelette and said it didn't taste bad. We had a great time here, and refilled coffee is above average.
This is as old school as it gets here in NYC. Since the late 1800's, Jahns has been serving the community and stepping in here, its amazing to be apart of that history. I sat down imagining the many people from the past decades and century who have come through this establishment. And the ambiance just brings you back in time. The service here is amazing. The waiters are on their A-Game, tentative, thoughtful, always making sure you're accommodated. I had the breakfast here and haven't had a chance to try out the ice cream so I'll comment on the breakfast. The breakfast is your standard, basic diner fare done very well. No complaints from me. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, home fries, omelette, sausage. Stuff you can't go wrong with and they don't get it wrong here. It's basic and I mean that in a very good way. It's exactly what I was seeking and exactly what I got. The manager was super friendly, filled my cup up with extra coffee and went around making sure everything was okay. I wish I got his name. Verdict: If you're in Queens, looking for some old school classic dining experience, with the ambiance and history of that to boot, look no further. Jahns is certainly worth your visit! Pros: -Great ambiance -Great Service -Good pricing -Great history and classic diner ambiance -Basic diner food done very well Cons: -Not really a con but if you're looking for something more out-the-box or extraordinary this won't be the place.
Went there around 6pm on the weekdays. The place was rather empty. Maybe two or three tables were occupied. I didn't feel the service is good; no one came to take an order for my friend who came about 15 min, we waited for 10-20 min and finally called a waiter to take her order. We also needed a high seat for a child, we asked, was told we can just take it, so we just took it from the aisle to the table. I ordered meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes tasted sour for some reasons... Our waiter just left a check on the table without saying anything when the table was being cleared. I wanted to get an ice cream, but that's ok. Maybe I'll try their ice cream on weekends next time.
I love home fries that are made with onions! This place is a standard diner, but the waiters are fast with taking orders. The seats are standard, red booths and there isn't much seating, but the turnover is high. This is definitely a neighborhood place with many families and regulars.
It's a typical diner and the food is alright. The atmosphere is the traditional diner atmosphere. The food was nothing special.
FABULOUS BREAKFAST!! Weekday specials are great portions && fairly priced. Service is always impeccable, despite how busy it gets. Lunch selections are varied but not very good but the prices are fair and the food is served promptly. Tables are small however, so small groups (4-6) are best if you all want to sit at the same table.
Food was cold when it got to.us, the sausages were cold. It appeared that someone took them off another place so they would not have to cook them and gave it to use. Our waiter to not see or check on us for 14min, it was not crazy busy perhaps moderate. This place certainly went down
Terrible food and service! I don’t recommend
The service is not the same as a couple of years ago. The only staff who is very professional and know exactly what hospitality means is a tall lady long hair, who’s always polite and gentle . The other male staff totally ignore when you are by yourself and it takes longs minutes to refill your cup of coffee. Today it was my last attempt to have this place - which is located right in the corner of my house - as a place to call home . The Indian restaurants around treat you better and that’s why I will start spending my money with a better service .
Yesterday I visited, I sat at the bar and the waitress with a rude attitude asked me if I needed a menu and I answered that they were there but I hadn't realized they were in that place, I ordered an omelet with cheese, When I was eating it, it didn't have cheese, I asked them to change it and the second one did have cheese but it had pieces of egg shell and I also ordered pancakes and in the same way it had pieces of egg shell. When I wanted to ask for the bill, no one turned around, and when I paid the girl who is in the area to collect, she only asked if she should leave a tip and in the end she didn't even say thank you.
This place is very old, it est in 1879. It has its nostalgia but this place is not very clean, its DUSTY. floors look like they get clean twice a week. Doesn't look like they mop. Food is eh. I wont come here again. At least I can said I visited the last JAHNS. P.S. owner, please clean this place up. It has potential.
Just went here for takeout breakfast. The eggs in my sandwich had green spots, the turkey sausage was freezer burned and my other dish, over easy eggs tasted like they were next to the garbage and the turkey bacon was grey. If I have to say the best part of the meal was the dry toast and home fries, that's a big issue.
I came here for dinner last Sunday with my girlfriend and family. We came around 9pm and service was quick as always (we are regulars). The only problem was that around 9:45pm our waiter was very anxious to leave as of they close at 10pm, yea he didn't hid it well.. he had already told us that the kitchen was closing and it was fine but he never asked us for dessert and brought us our check. That's not all .. before my girlfriend even finished her dish he came and said we are closed and took my girlfriend's plate!!! What is that???? Very unprofessional waiter. Everyone that knows about the restaurant industry should know that you never ever kick out the guests from a restaurant. Owners and Managers are very nice and kind but this waiter ... should not be working here.
The menu is not labeled clearly and customer service is terrible if something is wrong. Their stance is "we've been in business for 100 years" so it must be your problem. I called to return part of my order because I didn't get what I expected. I was met with "with all due respect, this is a good deal" you should be happy with the order. All they had to do was apologize, allow a return, or give a tiny credit to fix it. Avoid this place unless you're totally desperate and just hope nothing goes wrong.
Oh boy....it was bad, like really bad. Shrimp cocktail was terrible and the cocktail sauce was red water. The rolls had mold on them. The "spinach" was awful. It was straight from the microwave and didn't even resemble actual spinach. The fried shrimp was gray...didn't even eat it. The waiter was very kind.
The food is great if you dine in. Otherwise, you risk missing items when ordering through a delivery app. I’ve ordered a cheeseburger twice, and both times I was missing fries, lettuce and tomatoes. If you’re not going to include the items, don’t claim that the order comes with it. So stupid I have to contact support and possibly risk my reputation on the app due to the restaurant’s incompetence.
This place is over priced. Would not mind paying for the food. But the Service is the worst. They do not refill your coffee, you have to wait until the servers finish socializing between them. When asked for a new ketchup they snatch it from the Table and bring another half bottle from another table. I Have lived my whole life in this neighborhood. When over 40 years Jahns was estabished. Service has gone from Good to Worse. I would not recommend this place to anybody. But this is one of two in Jackson Heights Coffee and Lunch Restaurant. Terrible....
The reason about my only one star is the horrible service ! First time there with a party of 9 … we were waiting for about 20 min to bring us coffee, although other more tables were served … our waiter (Antonio) unprofessional service … we won’t definitely come back …I did not receive an apology from the waiter or the owner….. after that we got chance from that waiter to the nice waitress…. My star is for her ..
I am giving this review as I don’t appreciate the fact that I was overcharged. I visited your restaurant twice last week whilst staying renew York from the UK. We really enjoyed the food and couldn’t fault the service, the clientele also seemed very contented. So this came as a shock!! I paid for the meals with my debit card under 40 dollars on both occasions but when I looked at my UK statement, I have been charged additional monies as the tip had been adjusted. We are in another diner just down the block and paid similar prices without being ripped-off. Is this how you treat guests?
Honestly really disappointing what Jahn's has turned into. The French toast deluxe I had today was terrible. Our food got brought out with some of the plates on top of the food. The only reason for the 2 stars for service is because of the gentleman who kept bringing us coffee who was very attentive and nice and the Omelette that was ordered was good.
The burger was over cooked they said it was 12 oz it was smaller than the bun - the turkey club was cut thick - the server didn’t come back to the table until he came to pick up The dish never asked if we wanted anything else - we stopped to pick up Chinese food on the way home - never going back- shouldn’t have left a tip
The service was terrible. First, they served the coffee in a paper cup instead of proper tableware. Then we ordered a chicken sandwich with rye toast, and it came on regular sandwich bread. When we asked them to fix it, they brought it back on the correct bread — but without the mayonnaise that we had specifically requested. The chicken was not even prepared properly; it came as a whole piece instead of chopped. The tomato was served as one large slice, and the lettuce wasn’t chopped either — it was just thrown on the sandwich. Overall, very poor service and lack of attention to detail. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
The Cook prepared a cold breakfast. The bacon was cold and did not look right. I returned the breakfast and the waiter turned into a demon. Even the older senior waitress had a strange demeanor at the beginning. These are not nice people and the place has no customers inside which makes sense. I wouldn't eat here unless you want to be poisoned and fall sick.
I genuinely try and see things from other people's perspectives, but this was really sad to experience. Make sure to only order what's specifically on the menu. ANY change to a menu item results in a pretty big upcharge. The food was good, all I asked for was a change from potatoes to a salad, which was a few pieces of lettuce with two slices of tomatoes. No dressing. I understand that if you ask for anything extra or substitute certain items for others, it would result in an upcharge. Apparently the guy in the front was proud to say this place has been open for 65 years. Good for you, but you can't upcharge someone $4+ when I substituted potatoes for that. 65 years shouldn't even be a justification for that. Did you just upcharge everyone for a cheaper change for 65 years? Is that how your business was built? I can tell you don't like admitting you are wrong. He went to claim that this substitution is the same as someone asking to get 2 eggs for free. Every time I tried to talk, he just deflected with something completely different to try and throw me off. It was like talking to a brick wall. I worked in the service industry, I understand some customers are going to be mean and want more for less, I've dealt with them. I was respectful when bringing up my concern by the way. He went on to say that there are costs associated with a simple substitution. According to him, I ordered dressing when I didn't. Mind you, I didn't even get the coffee with the special I ordered! You already save money from not having someone spend the time to cook the potatoes in oil, seasoning, etc. I got a few pieces of lettuce and two slices of tomatoes. You also saved money from forgetting the coffee! Word of advice to that front desk guy: Maybe take a break, and think about what made the business successful 65 years ago instead of just using it as a way to say you're right. It is LESS work and money to grab some raw veggies Instead of cooking potatoes. Thanks to the chefs for making the good food though, and the guy that walked by to offer coffee to my parents is a great guy. The waitress should have at least just mentioned the massive upcharge when I wanted that cheaper substitution. I should have taken a picture. I respectfully brought up a valid concern and I get talked to as if I've never ordered food in NYC before. It takes a lot to get me to write a negative review, and you did it. Congrats. Here's to another 65 years.
