- David ShapiroJanuary 12, 2014Brunch special on the weekends is a great value and was really good food. Been there twice and highly recommend it. It's just a good neighborhood diner with really nice people working there.
Many of the tips are from when this was Cosmos...ignore them! Good place to grab a bite and reasonably priced. Check out Mcswiggans for a drink after dinner!Upvoted 1 week ago
..love people watching while eating and look for Steve,he's the man!The food is great and the service crew are amazing!:)- Nate FolkertJuly 16, 2022texas tuna melt wrap was pretty good, though it would be improved if they threw the tuna and cheese on the griddle and actually made it a melt
Sweet staff, never rush you, and the food is decent enough. The rib specials are great - braised shortribs and BBQ ribs both fantastic. Good value for money.
I think the new place is an improvement foodwise over its Cosmos predecessor. One waiter who knew me as a regular stayed on at the Orion. Oh, love the Greek Egg Lemon soup served on Tuesdays.
Marie MossJuly 20, 2019Tater tots!! They have excellent tuna salad, which is hard to find!Also, great lemon meringue pie and chocolate chip layer cake!- DoubleDeuceJanuary 1, 2020Typical diner for when you need all of the food options and you cannot decide who is going to decide on a place. Plus, they have better than average bathrooms for a diner!
Marie MossNovember 11, 2017The tuna sandwich is sublime! With their sour pickles, it’s the best! The Coffee is very good!
Nickie BalboaSeptember 7, 2012Try the 2nd ave salad with balsamic vinegar. Beautiful! Wonderful, nice people.
Dennis OwensFebruary 24, 2013The staff is much more inclined to st around and chit chat, than see to customer needs.
Brittany ComminsAugust 21, 2013This is the best diner in NYC. Try the soups and the gramercy burger.
Great service, average diner fare with lots of options. You'll leave happy.- Attention Greeks: some of the best avgolemono soup in Manhattan.
This is a great diner with great wholesome comfort food .
- There is a sugar-free apple pie on the menu that is delicious!
- Servers are great, food is great and they have sweet potato fries.
Andy BurnsSeptember 29, 2013They brought me the wrong omelette. It looks like a full block of horrible tasting cheese was dumped on top of it also. Inedible. Didn't get my toast. Why is this place so busy when the food is crap
Zach SteereMay 16, 2013Good food but be warned, their prices are really expensive for a diner. One glass of juice was $4.25.
Sveta SFebruary 16, 2011The food is bland, so I don't see any reason to come here, other than if you are researching the classic American diner culture for your novel or article
Stephanie HwangDecember 27, 2012They gave us MAYO instead of BUTTER for the french toast. THREE coffees instead of TWO. OVER EASY instead of POACHED. In ONE VISIT. No thank you.
- Phillip JamesFebruary 3, 2012The Grand Opening was today, Thursday 2/2/2012. Goodbye Cosmos Diner and Hello Orion Diner And Grill.
Matzoh ball soup not as good as mom's, but a good 'hood substitute.- Daniel KlapaMarch 17, 2012The food was decent(so was Cosmos) and their were a few more heads in the place but our server was miserable.
Emma MarkhamJanuary 19, 2010Our original NYC diner. Staff aren't very friendly, but the burgers are genuine and the pickles are excellent.
Not very good for the price. Been here several times and consistently mediocre. Also found a hair in the food...
Michael SteigmanDecember 29, 2012Awful diner, they can't even make a simple Omelette and even the toast tastes bad. AVOID this place like the plague.
Barbara HubertNovember 8, 2010Definitely found a many-legged bug in my turkey wrap. The owner tried to tell me it was a naturally occuring thing one can expect when eating lettuce. No. Thank you.
Adam DeerJanuary 22, 2010Dale is out of his filthy mind motzi sticks are awesome. Avoid the potato skins.
