Harlem’s HungryMarch 17, 2015The Irish bourbon is a mans drink. Something sexy to start the day. I highly recommend brunch at this spot. Music is nice and soothing adds to the laid back ambiance#satisfied
Summer ParkerNovember 11, 2013Get the side of broccoli! It is prepared with tomatoes and onions and cooked perfectly. Also, service is slooooow. Plan to relax when you eat here.
Liz PaulinoMay 14, 2016Highly recommended! Try the Mac n cheese balls or banana chocolate chip pancakes- so delicious! Great chicken tenders too!
Emma B-BrownJune 26, 2015The salmon tacos were delicious as a healthy choice, which is totally not why you'd come here! Next time I'll try the mac and cheese!
Ms HeleneJanuary 7, 2013Upmarket diner food. Chopped salad ($9.50): v crispy lettuce, feta stirred through, just enough dressing. All day breakfast steak & eggs cooked as ordered-great! Good atmos, average service.
DJPRICEI$RIGHTAugust 9, 2011All I Have To Say Is Turkey Chilli! Dope After Club Spot Which Stays Open Late! Also Cheap Bottles Of Everything. Who Knows You Might Meet Your Late Night Love Of Your Life. :-)
James WilsonJanuary 5, 2013The food and the service here is remarkable! Also if you make sure to sit by the door and outlet you'll get the apple stores wifi :)
Simon CallanMay 22, 2016Apple pie was amazing - not full or cinnamon so you can appreciate the apples
Robert MolOctober 24, 2013Brooklyn Pilsner and a cheeseburger, need I say more!? Great relaxing classic diner, you'll love it!
You should totally try the Fried Calamari for appetizer and the Homemade Boneless Fried Chicken for Entree if you want the good stuff.
Alisa KatsmanMarch 2, 2014The goat cheese and chicken quesadillas were surprisingly fantastic! And get the disco fries, seriously.- KAREN JONESAugust 29, 2013The Haney Group Hong Kong News - Toxins warning over Chinese medicines
Ken DenmeadDecember 7, 2009Fries are great (ask for extra crispy), and the eggs benedict was good. Wait staff was friendly - it's an interesting mix of down-home diner and fancy eatery. Also avoids the drunk hipster gangs!- Darren MigneaultJune 6, 2013Fran is the best! And if you see her rollerblading around LES, give her a thumbs up and say hey!
Sesame seared tuna is the best decision you will make after 3am...healthy, delicious and filling!
Taylor RothbellMay 5, 2015This place is terrible. There are a lot of authentic diners in the area with real diner food. The menu here is trying to be "hip" but nothing is as good as what you would get at a real diner.
Cuppy CakeMarch 23, 2013Try the Challah Bread French Toast - Not get tired of having French toast yummy:)
Jacqueline LombardFebruary 5, 2013Free Wi-Fi & camper- friendly, turkey chili w a side of pico & guac FTW!
Ceren ErcenMay 30, 2013Dunno what the other person had wrong with their water, mine was excellent and chilled.
Bianca CaampuedFebruary 8, 2013Stop reading tips and read the menu. But if we're on the topic disco fries and prep shake and whiskey.
Debra WelchMay 10, 2015Nachos-ok Tuna Tacos-excellent. Ordered Apple Pie Al Amode with a check. Waited longer for dessert & check than for dinner! Waitress hung out at hostess stand, bar, leaning on wall. Worst service ever
Kathy LFebruary 9, 2013Service was a bit off putting but the burgers left a table (my table...) of four very loud mouthed patrons, speechless. Delicious.
Serge KassardjianFebruary 13, 2011Watch out for the weird cougar at the bar who will tell you she was the make up artist for a bunch of musicians. SHE IS THERE ALL THE TIME!!!
Jennifer AndrusMay 1, 2014Avg price for an entree is around $15. That is a bit pricey even for an NYC Diner
Fabien DOctober 2, 2016Diner Burger is ok but didn't worth the price, especially with the French fries who have nothing special. Interesting selection of beer in bottle.
Ask for a table near an outlet because you can get the Apple store's free wifi. The table to the left of the door has one. ;)
Preston ResetMay 31, 2010Chicken burger. Thats it. Oh and fries and an Arnold. Thats it, but good lord Chicken burger. You have to. (Sadly Diner has gone downhill since 2010... but maybe the CB is still good try it!)
- The Seared Tuna sandwich is one of the best of its kind!
Lane RettigApril 7, 2014Relatively crappy food and slow service for brunch but the location and view cannot be beat. Sit outside!
The mayor just took care of my dinner... Service, food everything outstanding.
The Spark GroupFebruary 3, 2011Come for "After Work Thursdays" - Thursday happy hour from 4:30-10pm. All frozen cocktails are 2 for 1.- robert PinardMarch 16, 2011Really nice atmosphere and the food is amazing trying the burger and fries
Kurt WassermanJuly 21, 2011Try the seared Tuna sandwich. Awesome alternative to their great burgers.
Love Love Love the food and the atmosphere - a MUST visit when your in the meatpacking district! :)
