    Greek Gyro Platter (Lamb)
    Lynda G.

    We hadn't visited this restaurant in quite some time, so we decided to have lunch here today. I chose the Lamb Gyro Platter, while my mother opted for the meatloaf. While my gyro was okay my mother's lunch was really good. I'm inclined to return solely for the meatloaf, as it was very flavorful and enough for two or three smaller meals.

    First time here! I'm a big fan of diners so it's always nice to try one you've never been to! I loved how not busy it was on a Sunday and the decor! I came for brunch time and the service was good. I personally wasn't a fan of the French toast and my bf didn't really like that his burger was cooked WELL DONE when he asked for MEDIUM. I usually would ask for food to be fixed but he didn't want to wait again. Hopefully next time I come I won't be let down by the food and tryout some new dishes!

    I will start off by saying growing up in the neighborhood I would frequent this establishment with my family on the weekends. Whether it was a Sunday or a late night burger deluxe, I always seemed to enjoy it. Over the years they have gone through many changes as many of the surviving restaurants after Covid have. I really hate to give them this rating because I love the culture they have built and the longevity of their reign on this E. Tremont corner property. Serving families for generations. The service has always been fast and efficient, what you would want from a diner. My biggest issue is that the prices really don't match the quality of the food. The portions have gotten smaller and smaller and the prices have gone up. I do understand that wholesale items have gone up over the years but if I'm paying premium prices for dishes, I expect quality and if not that then at least quantity. The excuse of prices have gone up just really doesn't apply here because most of the items are frozen and mass produced. I am in the industry and while I can see prices have gone up, it is not at the scale that their prices reflect. I really don't see the value. I have noticed that they have built a strong online presence and have great marketing tactics to bring in customers which is great and moving with the times but now I feel the marketing needs to focus on appropriately pricing these items and possibly condensing the amount of food they offer. Or if they don't want to change the pricing at least consider the classic oversized portions of an old school diner. Besides the prices being high, they will nickel and dime you if you ask for a side of sauce. It's just off-putting when the prices are already questionable with the food quality. I love the corner property they reside at and I love the layout of the place. It's giving diner all around. If they have a prime location and great service-- they can fix up the food program and be elite. The history and service saved this from being a 2 star. I wish them the best!

    So a friend of mine, whom I've worked with many moons ago, who is now a full Content creator. She teamed up with Crosstown Diner to have a giveaway on Instagram and I took my chance and I was one of the five winners how cool is that :) I was sent a $100 gift card in the mail and I gathered my family and we all headed out there. When we arrived, we got seated immediately. It is a nice diner set up, clean with big screen TVs on the wall. We got our menus and I must say that it is overwhelming because there's so much to choose from but we finally narrowed it down. I ordered their Philly cheesesteak with Onion Rings with the Spiked Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake, which was so so good .Hubby ordered the Pastrami Sandwich with Fries our son ordered the Frankenstein Burger, which was massive, and our friend ordered the Fried Chicken and Fries. When we finally got served our food, it was piping hot how we like it and everything was delicious. Our waiter was really nice and attentive as well. Everyone except me carried home leftovers lol. I highly recommend and I do intend on going back before the summer is up. It would be great if you guys can branch off into the Manhattan or BROOKLYN area. Keep that in mind. Cheers :)

    To begin, I've ordered from here loads of times over the past 7 years I've lived in NYC, and I've especially bought the apple crumb pie several times before today. Never did I bother to look for mold because I have a lot of trust in most restaurants. I ate most of the pie and a piece fell over and there it was, the fuzziest mold I've ever seen on a piece of food. I am absolutely disgusted. Never have I had this issue before and thinking about how much of their desserts I've consumed before today, makes me ill just thinking about it. I called after I saw it to warn them not to sell it, and the person on the phone was quick to rush me off. It's like he didn't care at all. Not even an apology. He just said he'd look into it. If I get sick from having ate this when I have work tomorrow and absolutely cannot call out, I will be even more outraged than I already am.

    Brunch at the Crosstown Diner!

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Crosstown Diner, with two friends, for their new Brunch Board. We were completely overwhelmed, in a good way, with the amount of food that was served. There was pancakes, French toast, waffles and Nutella blueberries and strawberries. It was an incredible selection of food fit for a king. Our server Steven was great, very attentive and knew everything about Crosstown's menu. We will definitely be back!

We benefited from her experience and good taste in guiding us through the menu. She ordered a caesar salad with grilled shrimp that looked divine! I love a good tuna melt and she said the Johnson had a good one- plain, but you can add whatever accoutrements you wish. I stuck with the classic and found it simple and satisfying She recommended one of the other salads (the asian salad) to my mom- with grilled chicken breast or shrimp. My mom's first job waitressing job in highschool was at a greek diner and upon discovering the Johnson Diner is greek, she had to try their Mousaka $21 served with a generous portion of greek salad. My mom enjoyed her Mousaka and said it had the perfect amt of cinnamon and spices- she ate the whole plate- she's usually a "take half home" eater- but said she wished she had ordered the salad as it looked fresh and light- and she felt full after the heavier Mousaka Maybe Mousaka for dinner, salads for lunch and brunch!

Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.
