    The Lumberjack Breakfast
    Ashleigh D.

    Walked in on a Sunday morning, no wait time. Ambiance nice and chill as usual. Food was delicious and good service. I'll be back again.

    They offer a variety of pastries!

    Stopped here as the last leg of our NY trip. Glad we did! It's a huge place and we were seated right away! I must say their coffee was amazing just a regular cup of Joe but very good quality- usually I find diner coffee to be meh I enjoyed the corn beef hash - you could tell it was made in house - seasoned well but not too salty as some can be! The poached eggs were perfectly poached! I did not eat the hollandaise sauce as I'm not a fan but I'm sure if that's your thing it's good! My only complaint would be it had very little potato in the hash but otherwise enjoyed it. Our waiter took good care of us - making sure either our coffee cup or water glass stayed full. Warning for those that don't do steps well - if you have to use their restrooms they are located down a steep stairwell to the basement level! I did find them clean and well stocked.

    Roasted Turkey Cobb Wrap

    Lunch. Seated as soon as we entered - the place is large enough to accommodate a lunch crowd so a wait is rare. The waiter came, we asked for water all around. Sodas and coffee for me. Very efficient service. The drinks came quickly. I was put off by the taste of the water - I mentioned that (but what can be done)? so I stuck with my coffee throughout the meal. Not a bad thing - the coffee is delicious and freely refilled. The food we ordered arrived promptly - a cheese omelette, the turkey wrap and a sandwich. All flavorful and generously served. We enjoyed the meal, the Diner looks great and we'll definitely be back. (Hopefully the water will be better.)

    I've been to City Limits many times over the course of a good 15 or so years, and I can sum them up in two words: reliably good. This time, I gave them a visit with some family and found myself satisfied once again. Like many other diners, they have a very wide selection of dishes and drinks that you can't really go wrong with; similarly, you might have one or two standout dishes that you always gravitate towards--in this case, mine have to be the crispy cod sandwich with cilantro mayo and fries, and the grilled salmon club with dill spread, asparagus, mushrooms and field greens (out of the five of us, two had the former, and the rest had the latter). For the salmon club, the freshness of the arugula and dill combined with the flaky salmon makes for the excellent pairing if you want something lighter, while their crispy cod paired with the cilantro mayo is great flavor combination if you're fine with something a little heavier. While they have plenty of options for drinks, I opted for their cold-pressed orange juice--you simply can't go wrong with it. Likewise, the service is great, and the aesthetic is, all things considered, slightly upscale for what you might expect for a diner. This restaurant has been good enough to keep us coming for over a decade, and I can say with fair confidence that this isn't likely to change anytime soon.

    Carne Asada Tacos. My wife said they were wonderfully seasoned, but oddly the cold ingredients that topped it made the meat a little cold.

    Upscale diner menu, not as extensive a menu as a traditional Greek diner, but more appropriate for when a family member says they don't want to go diner in general lol. As everyone is saying, any of their food items that are from their onsite bakery, or star their crabcakes are always ideal. We were in a rush, so my wife had the taco appetizer and I had a Swiss omelette. Both a little pricier than comparable diner fare by about two dollars per meal, but seemingly worth the price. The waiter was very considerate and attentive. According to my wife as we were leaving, the take out rice pudding was killer. Named the best Diner in Westchester 2025. Not sure I agree, but certainly up there in the running.

    Buffalo Spicy Chicken Wings (7 Wings)
    Giselle G.

    I came here for brunch and it was delicious. I ordered the spicy chicken wings as an appetizer. Then I ordered the crab and lobster Benedict which was ok. It came with some potatoes that had chives. I enjoyed the wings they were crispy and flavorful. The blue cheese was also really good and creamy. The eggs Benedict was good and the cake did have some crab, I did not really taste the lobster. I would order another item next time, I saw a lot of pancakes and burgers. While the Benedict was not bad it was not something which was memorable. The egg was cooked well, the consistency was good. I also ordered the hot chocolate which was very good. The service was good; the space is really big so we did not wait for a table. The environment is friendly and inviting. I would definitely come back.

    Crispy Calamari

    Calamari was nice and crunchy. The steak sandwich was excellent. We ate in the bar area and the bartender/waitress was prompt and friendly. It is not a normal greasy spoon diner. They had more of a restaurant vibe.

How about bringing some more lobster ? Or doing something to compensate us. Frankly, I was embarrassed that I brought my friend to Sam's. I left with a bad feeling.

It was a busy Sunday. When the food came out we were a few minutes into our meal and we ordered another side of eggs. Never came, even after we finished our plates. Ultimately asked to cancel the order, which they thankfully allowed.

Over the past year or two though, the prices started to get a bit whacky so we started going less. I went today and it was awful. The food itself was okay, but there was only one poor waitstaff member for the entire restaurant. They had other people bringing out the food and drinks but the poor waitstaff member had their hands full. It took 25 minutes before our order was finally taken. I used to love the chocolate milk but now they charge the same price as before but give you a kiddie sized cup and you don't get free refills. We spoke to a staff member after we realized we didn't recognize anybody there. We were told the place had been bought out by a new management company and they cleaned house and got rid of the entire old staff, which is wild. They were all so wonderful before! The waitstaff member today was nice too, don't get me wrong, but it was crazy that all the familiar faces were gone. We were told all the kitchen workers were replaced too. Anyway, between my coworker and I, we got a cup of coffee, two eggs, 6 tiny pancakes, 3 strips of bacon, and a tiny sized chocolate milk for $39 (before adding tax and tip). Do with that what you will, but I think that's brutal. The prices have gone up too much considering they made the pancakes smaller and drinks smaller. It's just not worth it anymore.

There were also several picnic benches around the side of the building, but I wasn't clear if they belonged to the restaurant. You order at the register and they call out your name when your food is ready. They have a ton of vegan/vegetarian options, as well as a great breakfast/brunch menu. I ordered the egg and cheese biscuit. The cheddar jalapeño biscuit was delicious. It was buttery and dense. The flavors were mild, but the sandwich was the perfect portion size. I also got a side of the vegan bacon. It was rubbery and tough to chew. Would not recommend. My husband enjoyed the breakfast burrito. We also shared the buffalo cauliflower. The cauliflower pieces were well coated in buffalo sauce and very flavorful. I also got the Don't Kale Me juice. It was tangy, citrusy, and refreshing. The Deep Roots smoothie was also quite tasty. They have free self-serve water and the employees were quick to wipe down tables so they were clean for the next party. Looking forward to coming again!

I ordered the egg and cheese biscuit with the help of the cashier, I didn't get her name and it's on the receipt but I threw it out. Even though this was not a vegan dish, who could pass on a collosal cheese biscuit. The egg was a nice accompaniment to this cheese biscuit also. The lady that gave me the biscuits said, wow! That smells nice. I thought she was giving me a compliment on the order until I sniffed the bag. Normally I don't do well with my sense of smell but, boy oh boy! That was a gooooooood smelling biscuit. And the taste, it tastes so good, it makes you want to slap yo momma. (Don't do it, it just makes you want to slap her.) Needless to say, I really enjoyed this cheese biscuit. In hindsight I guess I could have grabbed a hot drink, maybe next time, and there will be a next time because I told the lady that this was my first time and at the restuarant and I'm new in the area.

They have a program to text when your table was ready, so we went for a walk in the neighborhood while we waited. A surprisingly short time later, we received the text that our table was ready! The menu(s) had a wonderful selection of food and drinks, along with some specials. They do use a QR code for their menus, but noticed they also had paper menus upon request. Our server was friendly and attentive. The other members of staff would also check in as they passed by. My boyfriend enjoyed the PB & J Latte along with the creole shrimp Benedict. He said it was seasoned well, right level of spice, stated the eggs were poached perfectly, and really enjoyed how moist the cornbread was. I indulged with the "Tipsy Palmer" which is an Arnold Palmer with Bourbon in it. To be honest, there wasn't much of a bourbon taste to it, if any at all, but for a summer brunch drink, it was refreshing. For my entree, I chose the chicken Caesar sliders. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed as the brioche buns seemed a little on the stale/stiff side. The homemade caesar dressing was delicious, but they only coated the lettuce in it which resulted in a bit of a dry slider. I believe the sliders would benefit from a bit of the dressing at least on the bottom of the bun. I asked for (and received) a side of the dressing to bring home to dress up my remaining sliders. Lastly, and I know this is extremely minor, but the silverware was placed incorrectly (knife and fork reversed with the knife edge in the wrong direction). Again, I am WELL AWARE this is minor, but for me, sometimes the minor details are the things that stand out. Overall, a wonderful experience and will try them again at a later date.
