Forgot how good the Swiss bacon deluxe burger was. Perfectly done and the fries were amazing. Find that somewhere else in the city for under 10 bucks! Service always friendly - in and out in 20 mins!

Awesome! Tried it on a whim after visiting FAO Schwarz and not liking some of the choices near the store. Great food, reasonable prices, and good service. GO!

Great, fresh $2 muffins to go in the morning. Speedy lunchtime service, and the cheeseburger deluxe is always a good option. Gets very busy & cramped around 1pm every day.

Typical diner fare with super friendly staff. The French toast is sinfully good

I was trying to have a business lunch meeting & waiters were obviously trying to push us out... One even screamed a few times that he needed tables and then stood next to me so I could sign my receipt

Very nice service here, am always greeted with an enthusiastic hello and a warm smile. Not bad coffee either.

you'll get a sit-down hot meal here in the time it takes to queue up to get a sandwich somewhere else

By far the best diner in the area

$3 for a glass of skim milk was a little steep. 😟

Had the spaghetti and meatballs and reuben and enjoyed both.

Doesn't look like much, but the food was pretty good. I'd come back. I had the grilled chicken club.

This is a rare gem in the high-priced dining options of Midtown. A small but proper diner with typical diner fare at diner prices.

Great diner's diner tucked away in a sea of overpriced tourist fare.

This place always gives me that ten minutes of peace I need in the morning craziness

Had dirty silverware on the table when we sat down. The server literally took the fork, wiped it with a grimey rag from around his waist and dropped it on the table. I will not ever come back here!

Love the Athenian Omelet!

Closes at 9pm sharp and oh boy do they rush you out. My experience was horrible but maybe because I got there at 8:21pm

Ok, wasn't fabulous but wasn't bad either. Greasy spoon type diner

Do NOT order chef's salad. Worst I've ever had. Or baked potato. Usually just get fresh fruit.

The turkey is not what it used to be, its dried out and cut thick ...
