The French onion soup is delicious and perfect on a snowy day! Soup & salad special is 12.99! Also, ask for the banana chocolate milkshake (not on menu but so tasty with chunks of banana)!
PaulApril 7, 2018I like all the food here. They do a very good breakfast. Be warned, this comes at a price...literally. My pancakes with fruit, male syrup, side of sausage and coffee with a 20% tip came to $40!
Gregor PlieschnigMay 24, 2017Wonderful Diner just like you would imagine it. Serving good breakfast options and a wonderful lunch and dinner fare. Rueben Sandwich is a real treat.

- Manuel GarciaJanuary 19, 2021Great food not so extensive menu but everything on it was great. I would say this is a fancy dinner that is always full because is so good
- Ralph MeyerAugust 2, 2022Great place for breakfast, difficult to get in during peak breakfast, lunch or dinner times. Reasonably fast service considering how crazy busy they are. Portions are on the conservative side.
Rodi BaulerApril 9, 2017Just an amazing place for delicious food! Great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. All we ordered tasted very good. From pancakes to the Chef's specials of the day. Enjoy!!!- EJ's LuncheonetteJanuary 2, 2014Lunch Specials: 1) Penne with Shrimp Marinara 2) BBQ Turkey Meatloaf Sandwich 3) Deluxe Crunchy Monte Cristo 4) Grilled Asian Salmon Salad.

Carolina RibeiroSeptember 5, 2014Great dinner atmosphere and music selection. Their burger is to die for! Only problem is they don't take cards.

Eric KFebruary 18, 2014Always go for the French toast with some strawberries on top - it comes highly recommended! Really nice with some butter on it too. Amen.
Brett FrommeAugust 23, 2015Great for breakfast but tough to get a table on the weekends. Very good dinner specials. Big portions. But cash only.- DJuly 20, 2013Best diner (by far) on the UES. Nothing fancy. Decent good food. Friendly, helpful, staff. Definitely one of my favorites up here.
Fiona O'MalleyNovember 28, 2017Pancakes were all hungover tourist could hope for. Very satisfying!... 😃

Bridget GaelNovember 23, 2022Awesome brunch spot. We loved the open faced Reuben and salmon avocado salad.
Sarri HarperJune 13, 2013The best chicken Greek salad! Fast delivery! I love the blue plate specials! Great neighborhood spot:).
Kim WilliamsApril 9, 2012The wraps are awesome! I had the baja veggie and my honey had the baja chicken. And the shakes are delicious too.
- J FizJune 23, 2020I had the “new” menu item the steak sandwich. I had it exactly how it comes it was delightful. Filling but not overbearing.
Sarah SpagnoloOctober 5, 2016No American cheese or white bread but I don't like either so who cares. Rye and challah on point.
Pat MostynJuly 31, 2011THE brunch spot. Try the velvet pancakes but ask for extra icing and strawberries. Also the gravy for the biscuits is bomb.
Alev BademJuly 1, 2016I was there just before closing time, looking for some light dinner, but the manager Mr Mahmin refused to get us served with no manners! They were always child friendly and kind. Not anymore!- EJ's LuncheonetteMay 16, 2012For fast, fresh delivery call 212/472-0600 or you can order online with Seamless.com (http://www.seamless.com/food-delivery/EJs-Luncheonette-3rd-Ave-New-York-City.2033.r)
Food was good but the service was terrible. I'm pretty sure our waitress was drunk. She disappeared for a while, tripped on something when she was walking & had to ask us twice about what we ordered.
- EJ's LuncheonetteJuly 21, 2012Blue Cheese Stuffed Olive Bloody Mary with Cellery, Bacon, and a Squeeze of Lemon.
Everything on the brunch menu rocks! Especially the crunchy French Toast! Homefries are awesome too!
Jen PAugust 3, 2015The southern grits aren't quite southern in richness and flavor. Don't expect much from it.
Monica FriasDecember 27, 2016Nothing, unless you want to eat a mediocre lunch and get charged 4 times on your credit card, I highly suggest eating elsewhere. EJ's sucks and the worst customer service too.
Post renovation the food isn't as good. They no longer have challah French toast and brioche French toast isn't particularly tasty. Their breakfast burrito isn't very good either.- EJ's LuncheonetteJanuary 2, 2014Check out our Dinner Specials! http://www.ejsluncheonette.com/Files/112339/Dinner/DINNER%20SPECIALS%203.pdf
Try the Farmer's Egg White Omelette as a whole wheat wrap sans cheddar cheese. Healthy, filling and so tasty
- EJ's LuncheonetteMay 13, 2012Come celebrate #Mother's Day at #Ej's Luncheonette. We've prepared a special #Brunch for the special day. http://tinyurl.com/EjsBrunchMenu
Loren FinkelsteinNovember 3, 2013Found the food to be poorly prepared. "Banana Pancakes" does not mean plain pancakes with an unripe banana sliced and thrown on top. And Eggs Benedict can't be served over cooked.
Monday dinner specials are back! Classic comfort food entrees with soup or salad $12.95.
