My favorite diner in NYC and pretty much the only diner in hell's Kitchen. All breakfast food is great here! They are going through a gut renovation during Aug 2014, so even better things to come!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 5, 2011Get a traditional diner-rific breakfast all day long – our favorite is the French Toast with 2 Eggs and a Side of Bacon. Try a smoothie too. Open 24/7!
- Chris RobertsOctober 18, 2017Had 2 eggs breakfast - I went for poached, which came in a bowl with a spoon, which was a bit weird, but tasted great ! Also, opens early which is a plus
Yana SokolovaOctober 24, 2019Authentic American breakfast with nice American style poached eggs . Be prepared to wait to be seated but the queue goes quick. The waiters are quick and attentive. Definitely recommended.
Marty CauleyFebruary 21, 2016The best deal on the city. A couple of blocks off Broadway. It is so good and cheap you may see your favorite local ensemble member from on of the shows eating next to you!
Jade le GrelleJanuary 3, 2017So many options, many delicious. I would recommend the French toast and the pancakes. The unlimited coffee just make it feel like paradise.
JingXun HuOctober 29, 2016Outstanding diner with a wide menu selection. Solid meals with speedy service hands-on by the boss himself. Highly recommended
ERIKA GRIMMAugust 7, 2014Huge menu so everyone can find something they like. Voted Best Diner in Manhattan. Lots of locals here so exactly what we were looking for. Great recommendation from our concierge.
Really good breakfast, everything on the menu is solid. It's your typical American diner. The service is quick and friendly
Anne SOctober 25, 2015Just a regular diner. Lots of options. Good diner food for good prices. Loved the chili. Cozy place to sit & relax in an area where that isn't so available.
Went here because it was featured on "Smash" for its apple pie. Pie was tasty, as was the chicken noodle soup. Love the classic feel inside!
Sanneke SvRApril 23, 2019Had breakfast two times. An all american diner with tasty breakfast. French toast is tasty. Liked the side of patatoes a lot. Friendly people.
John AApril 1, 2015Monster menu! If you are craving it... They probably serve it. Vegetarian panini on grilled ciabatta is good.
Kathryn SkjoldagerJuly 27, 2011My favorite diner in Midtown. During breakfast it seems like everything comes with coffee, and the coffee is damned good for what I'd expect from a diner.
Gerardo VerdeJune 5, 2014Excellent.typical American breakfast. Service was fast and nice people, be sure to be there before 11:00... breakfast combo menu is not served after that time
LolliesJune 2, 2013Open 24/7! They have the longest menu on earth. Their deluxe burger with sweet potato fries is such a guilty pleasure. Loved it.- Sally HugginsSeptember 26, 2016Classic diner. Clean with great service and good home cooking. Perfect spot for dinner in the bustling city.
Nicholas DiazMay 10, 2014The diner experience that never let's you down, solace in the fact that Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld cooked up some of their best ideas on late nights here.- Sara IzquierdoJuly 24, 2018Very good breakfast, good service and good atmosphere. We ate there the 4 days we spent in NY
Fernando RevecoDecember 5, 2022Good food. The queve was very well managed and they care about your waiting with constant feedback. The waiter was a bit on a hurry for taking our order.
Matt KerestesyJune 27, 2012Stopped by for the breakfast platter special. The scrambled eggs were runny and the potatoes didn't have much flavor. On the plus side they do have Cholula at every table and OJ comes with the meal.
Alex runs a fabulous place - the best diner in Manhattan. And the table near the window belongs to me, the Mayor of Westway!- Try the whole wheat blueberry pancakes - quite tasty and also good for you . Take it from the Mayor!
Adam LendvaiApril 3, 2018Good value for money, great place for breakfast and very kind service! Highly recommended!- Sanneke SvRApril 21, 2019Great breakfast. Lots of food to choose from. Classic american, the way it should be.
Spencer L.October 16, 2012This place has the best diner milkshakes. Chocolate milkshake and vanilla w/ banana milkshake are both absolutely amazing.
Mark BrowningDecember 31, 2013Philly cheesesteak is very good, meat sliced really thin. Huge scoop of ice cream for dessert
Jose NaninAugust 17, 2018Classic diner... one of the few left in NYC! Lone Star burger was delicious 😋
Mikko LänsiluotoJune 2, 2012Good breakfast and pricing... Good coffee aswell :) I thruly recommend...- Say hi to the Mayor. My regular seat is near the window - and don't you dare take it!
Karen GillFebruary 3, 2016Very good food, reasonable prices, fast service. Would definitely go there again.
Dr NickDecember 29, 2018Food is great and priced cheap. Most items $8-$15 and the portions are massive!
The omelette breakfast special before is a great way to start the day for only $10. Comes with coffee and oj.- DoubleDeuceFebruary 20, 2016The menu is yuuuuuuuuge. But it's a Hell's Kitchen Diner. And they're cool with you being jolly and a little noisy. Great diner.
Lots of theatre folk: actors, crew, directors. So... you know... Be careful who you're trashing over your lunch special. (You shouldn't be trashing other theatre peeps anyway. Have some self-respect.)
Without a doubt, one if the best diners in NYC. Great location, great food and great prices. Thank you for the tip, Judy.
Yera HaAugust 9, 2014one time, my sister and i were seated, served + ate giant breakfasts, paid, and left - all in 20 minutes flat.
Klara KoubkovaOctober 23, 2013Very nice place with nice service. But how come no one knows where exactly were Seinfeld and Larry David sitting when they came up with the show? Disappointing.
Thomas KellyNovember 11, 2014Everything is good at the Westway, been eating there for 20 + year's walk from Times Square A+++++☆☆☆☆
Skip the line at the door and head straight for the counter in the back; faster service with usually no wait.
Jennifer IrizarryMarch 7, 2012Really good coffee actually and the tiramisu is delish as well as the bread!
