    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.

    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.

    We have been coming to the City Limits diner for over thirty years. For many years it was my family's favorite restaurant where we would go for wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners. A few years ago we moved from Westchester to Manhattan, however when we're in the neighborhood, we often will come here for a meal since we know their food is always consistently delicious. Yesterday we had some errands to attend to and we came to City Limits for lunch. Although it was Fter two in the afternoon, their large parking lot was filled with cars but fortunately we found a space and given the size of yheir dining rooms we were quickly seated. Ruth was our waitress and we each had delicious salads. What really impressed me was something I never experienced before. We were planning to visit friends and I was thinking of bringing them a large container of chicken soup. When we first walked in to the restaurant, I noticed that in addition to their retail bakery, they had containers of soup for sale. I asked Ruth if the soup was very salty and her immediate response was that she didn't think so but offered to bring me a small sample so I could taste it for myself. Within a few minutes, Rith returned with a small bowl with the doup that was indeed not salty but absolutely delicious. Of vourse we ordered a quart and asked if she could add it to our bill. I assumed Ruth would just get one of the prepared containers from the retail department but instead she returned with a quart of the soup from the chicken in a bag with fresh bread. My friends were delighted with their gift and we were very impressed with Ruth's dedication to providing us with a wonderful lunch and great service.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, they do not take any reservations. Be prepared to wait for brunch. There is almost always a wait on the weekends for brunch but the wait it not usually long. They're pretty good with turnaround. Lunch and dinner times are usually relaxed and… 

    Do you have gluten free bread, muffins, pancakes? Something for a breakfast meal...anything?

    No, they don't, and I wouldn't trust them to get your order correct even if they did offer it as an option.

The chocolate chip pancakes didn't need syrup at all. Portions were good. 5/5 Only thing that didn't go quite as well was the wait time. Waited a long time for the food to come out. Understandable. 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. Keeping the review at a 5 because everything else was good and wait times don't bother me as much, but plan accordingly if you are heading to brunch on a Sunday!

    Used to come here a lot growing up. First time coming since they changed management a year ago, and…read moreI was disappointed. Came on a Saturday and was expecting there to be a long wait, especially when the lobby area had two parties waiting. I was surprised when there were at least 10 empty tables and no one at the host stand. We waited for several minutes to the point I seriously questioned if this was a What Would You Do segment and started looking for John quinones. The party of two in front of us ended up leaving when they were told the wait for 2 was 30 minutes. We decided to wait the 30 minutes, and the party of two who came in after us was told the wait was only 10 minutes. We were seated shortly after. On the menu, there's a note that the Dutch baby takes a longer time to prepare but it came out at the same time as our other food. I was again unpleasantly surprised--the speed came at the price of quality. You can see how fluffy the Dutch baby was in the pic from 12 years ago compared to today's, where it was more of a crepe than a bread "pudding". Still tasted decent after you add the lemon and powdered sugar that they give on the side, but texture was definitely lacking. The side pancakes with our other dishes were a tad salty. We did notice managers walking around, so at least management is aware that there's something they're messing up. Hopefully they figure it out because this used to be a favorite.
