Emma QueryApril 16, 2015The amount of food is impressive and makes the price worth it. Got the three egg omelet with cheddar cheese, mushrooms and spinach. Delicious! Atmosphere is busy and the decor is really neat.
Serious EatsJuly 25, 2013Stop in here for what may be the best pancakes in Midtown - buttery, slightly crispy, and fluffy.Upvoted Feb 23
AlexDecember 22, 2013Loved the atmosphere, service was also great. People were right about the cheesecake, it's delicious to go with green sencha tea. I wouldn't recommend the Caesar salad, it hadn't chicken in it ;)
John GomezJune 20, 2017Great little place to grab a quick bite before heading to catch a train at Grand Central Station. Also great for a good business lunch or just a place to get the weather. Basic diner food.
Edison De souzaJune 3, 2019You can count with a good breakfast, lunch or dinner in the weekends, when everything is closed around. Very good menu and friendly service.
Nicole BarnettJuly 17, 2014Booth seats next to the windows are nice! The pancakes with fresh strawberries are a must. Same goes for the New Yorker with poached eggs!
Classic business breakfast spot right outside grand central. Make a reservation and skip the line
kevin kiernanJune 29, 2017It's good food and booze and is across from Grand Central. If that's all you need, it's got those.
Nicholas BorgeNovember 21, 2017Just feels like proper New York. Fancy-ish diner right at Grand Central so good starting point for tourist stuff.
Tom CushingOctober 19, 2014Had a delicious steak and egg breakfast. They even had gluten free toast!
Great location, fast and good service. Love the pancakes
Alexandra KirschMay 18, 2012Order the veggie chili or mac and cheese. Just do it. I love Pershing Square because it's comfortable and classy, but not pretentious.
Perfect spot for an early breakfast- especially love to meet clients and friends who commute in/out via Grand Central.
Tracy HugginsJanuary 27, 2013For breakfast I had the brioche French toast and later for dinner I had to get the chicken pot pie. Yum yum on a cold night!!
Alba BellaSeptember 12, 2018Great place. Authentic American style and really good breakfast. In a really good location
Nadia IssaBellaOctober 16, 2015The filming location for many movies, including the final scene of Friends with Benefits.
Jason AndersonAugust 8, 2014Great service, very quick from the time order to its arrival. Wait staff was very attentive. Food was excellent here!
CarolynApril 4, 2015I had the steak & eggs - the steak was a perfect rare and well-seasoned; the eggs were right, but the potatoes were a bit underdone and a touch bland.
Toshihide SatoAugust 25, 2013Pancakes with blueberries are really good! Simple taste but doesn't get bored.
MatthijsOctober 25, 2014The warm Apple Pie is delicious, but don't count on the caramel, it are just 2 little dots on your plate
Super convenient if someone has to run to Grand Central. Good for conversation.
Kristy VollJuly 1, 2017The bloody Mary's aren't worth it; just order coffee. Meals are defo shareable!
Carolina Danelon VargasJanuary 1, 2015The place is very fancy, service is very good and the food even better!
Peeps, eggs, oh yeah make a reservation to get a booth
- Danger GrayFebruary 23, 2013Smoked salmon Egg Benedict with spinach was absolutely delicious. The OJ too.
- Robin ChingDecember 31, 2012Awesome breakfast with wonderful service. I love sitting their booth near the window.
Merri KlarDecember 2, 2012Had the quinoa, lentil and spinach...omitted the eggs and sauce ...delicious.
Andrew BuraczenskiNovember 24, 2012Awesome ambience. I'd recommend "The Burger" with a brew on tap. Can't be beat.
Rhona DrummondDecember 28, 2012Great breakfast place, good service and great location opposite grand central station
Justin OrgelOctober 25, 2013Act like the New Yorker you are and get treated the way you deserve. Speak w a Euro accent and you'll lose quickly
Alice HennessyDecember 13, 2011It's well known and super busy for a reason. Some of the best blueberry pancakes I've ever had.- Ruud StuyvenbergFebruary 19Came there was nice however got foodposining from the smoked salmon. Cost me 1 day in hospital be careful with fish here
- Mark FisherOctober 18, 2019Mediocre food with great NYC buzz with . Good omelet, cold home fries, paper thin bacon. French Toast more like fried bread, sausages was good, coffee awful. Seek other option
Francesco VolpeJuly 27, 2011The hamburger was up to scratch and the chicken a pleasant surprise. Relaxed mood and friendly staff.
Liz O' MalleyJanuary 7, 2011This place does a great breakfast. Whenever we are NYC bound we go here for breakfast only. The pancakes are delicious
