If you’re in Chelsea or Flatiron and need a quick, casual breakfast, look no further! The pancake was extraordinary (a total must-order), and the Greek omelet was equally delicious. To top it off, the staff is incredibly fun to chat with while you wait. Highly recommended!

I love having my expectations exceeded, and this is exactly what happened. Found Johnny's by Googling "diner near me" and voila. Fabulous breakfast, ample portions, and frankly, its about the people. Genuine, and we loved it!! We were lucky by just beating a rush of people, but would definitely wait if we had to! We will make a point of this being a regular stop on future trips to nyc!! Thanks a ton guys!! 🇨🇦

Walked in at 8 a.m. and there were only 4 or 5 others there. I ordered pancakes with a side of eggs and turkey bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection; the pancakes were light and fluffy, as were the eggs and bacon. Great service, too! Highly recommend ⭐️

Teeny tiny restaurant (seats maybe 12?) so will likely be a wait if u have more than 1 person but was the best breakfast we had our whole time in NYC. Really fun watching the food being cooked and server was very attentive. Great place!!

Perfect! highly recommend, we will come back. Food - simple and delicious, just the way it's supposed to be. Service - welcoming and nice, they made it into the perfect experience. Vibes - perfect, even when packed you get the feeling that you're welcome to stay and that you have your space.

Food was good. Pancakes were amazing. Maybe just add more chocolate chips 😋😋

Was staying in Chelsea for the first time. Picked up a rec for this spot for breakfast from Diners, Diners and Diners. I was starving so I didn’t get enough photos. We got here during a short lull and were able to sit right down but within a few minutes the line outside grew pretty huge. If you’re in the area and want a nice quality sit down regular counter lunch or breakfast this is a perfect spot for it. Nice regular coffee black like i like. Excellent cook on the grill. Eggs were prefect. One of my favorite things is a quality counter breakfast and this hit.

This is like my kitchen with a few extra chairs at the counter and two tables in the back. I was seated next to a folded Brompton Bicycle; felt right at home. I rode them for 20 years when I lived in London. I had an excellent vegetarian omelette and home fries. The portions were just right, coffee was very good, and the service was attentive, friendly, but not hovering. This is very cozy compared to a typical diner. I recommend highly!

If you are all about sharing the real Manhattan diner experience, including the iconic NYC slang like you know from TV shows and movies, Johny's is the place to go. They will seat you even if full, if you've got a couple of minutes. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Prices are in my opinion standard 2025 Manhattan - but it's worth it here!

Amazing original experience, the service was top tier and the food was great! These were the best pancakes I ever had. You need to queue outside for 20-30 mins but the queue moves fast and the food is worth the wait. These price was reasonable and genuinely I feel this is the best breakfast in the city. It is recommended for groups of max 3-4 people I would say. We got the banana and blueberry pancakes and the lumberjack with bacon and scrambled eggs, combined with maple syrup it was to die for. Can’t wait to visit again!

Phil Cook

Great wee place doing live cooking with tremendous service and a real buzz. It's small so queuing is required during busy times but it's well worth the wait.

Craig Villamor

Classic lunch counter experience where you can watch everyone’s meals being prepared on the flat top. I had the Curious George sandwich which is kinda like a bacon egg and cheese on steroids. Great hangover recovery meal.

Phil Montgomery

fantastic hole in the wall with fantastic food. 10 seats at counter, one 2 top table and one 4 top. Line moves quickly. very clean

Lumber Jack pancakes with black coffee. Good breakfast/brunch spot if you’re walking around Chelsea. They were only taking cash but there was an ATM right out the front of the Johnny's Luncheonette. I spent around 15 bucks.

Julia O'Keeffe

For genuine American breakfast… this is a winner! Fresh cooked in front of you, friendly service and THE best coffee in NYC. Forget the chains support the locals. We’re going back tomorrow…!!!! We had the pancakes & bacon which were so light, we couldn’t believe we actually ate them all!!!

Aline Bebiano

A true Dinner experience, just great food served to perfection in a fair price. I wish we would have more places like this instead of this trending over price coffee places with terrible pastries… I am definitely coming back !

The iconic red canopy outside marks out this cute dinner tucked in along with the typical stores and hotels. Once inside there is a long counter and a couple of tables for two in the back. This is by far the best pancakes I’ve ever had in New York. I recommend the banana and the blueberry And if you can’t decide get one of each and a chocolate chip- yep get all 3. The coffee is excellent

Great hole in the wall diner. If you like authentic diner food, great spot. Went there Sunday around 1pm, other restaurants in the area were packed. Waited outside for a little bit but was seated quickly. Inside only seats maybe 20, small area but friendly staff. Had the French Toast and would recommend it. Great option for brunch or breakfast would come back to try it for lunch. Great location and close to a lot of shopping. Also good diner prices for New York. Atmosphere - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Food - 5/5

Loved this place! Delicious blueberry pancakes, friendly service, and well priced. We were here quite early and got a table immediately. The food also arrived very fast. The pancakes were really good, the portions are very large. The vibe is great and feels very authentic.

Great breakfast. Very small restaurant though so be prepared to queue but it’s worth the wait. You sit and watch your breakfast being prepared/cooked.
