I should have read the reviews before ordering. This place is awful. Needs to be shut down. A simple order of chicken fingers was literally pink in the middle also who has chicken fingers that are a pound each. Burger came asked for medium rare was a hockey puck. Also the lettuce came with it was black and tomatoes disgusting. Plenty of good diners will never ever go back. read more

We go as a group with our neighbors about once every other week. 1. Not the best diner in town as it relates to food. They could step this up a bit for sure. We don't go for dinner anymore because it's been disappointing. 2. They charge a 4.2% credit charge fee. This is becoming a more common practice but we try to avoid places that do this. Pretty steep really. 3. The suggested tip amounts are based on total purchase, including tax. So the suggested tips are higher than you may think. That's a little sly. 4. No receipt given. We think they are saving money on paper but they should print both sets -- one for them and one for the customer. 5. On the plus side, they do make good coffee. So that's a plus. read more

I had a very tasty bacon cheeseburger cooked to order served by a helpful and friendly waiter. The place itself is kind of ordinary but get a table with a window facing 2nd Ave and soak in the people walking by. An outstanding choice if you are looking for reasonably priced and good food. read more

The service was horrible! The staff were rude and disrespectful. It took them 45mins to take our order. The food was really bad too.

I was told to order my food from Gemini Diner and I had the most disgusting lunch; a very dry fresh roast Turkey sandwich and a stale Caesar salad with chicken for over $38 dollars!! I called Gemini to have them correct the horrible stale, wilted salad-they refused! I will never order from them again, such nasty customer service. Don't waste your time, so many other delicious diners in the area with much better food quality and customer support! read more

Have been consistently better all around! I will continue to order from them so long as the food remains the quality it has been. I love their Cobb and Greek salads! read more

Classic NYC no-frills type diner with terrific lunch specials. Being on a diet and getting back into a fitness program is doubly hard when living in a city like New York with all it's devilish food temptations. Luckily, there are many options to find healthier eats if you take the time to explore a bit. It's almost like spelunking, as you never know what you might find in the most obscure of places. As I was walking around the neighborhood I work in looking for a decent spot for lunch I came across Gemini Diner's menu in their window and saw some terrific lunch choices so I went on in. The diner itself is that classic no-frills NYC diner. Not trying to be all trendy or modern gourmet. It's like you are sitting in snapshot of a 1970's diner, a little aged, but very clean. In fact, as I was enjoying lunch here the staff was constantly cleaning and wiping up the place. Enjoyed lunch I did! Gemini offers up a nice selection of lunch specials in the $7.95 range that includes a soup or salad to go along with an entree choice. For this meal I had a bowl of lentil soup and an egg white vegetarian wrap. I was offered the option of getting french fries or fruit, so I went with a nice sized bowl of fruit they give you here. The lentil soup was thick and full of lentils - nice protein option. The egg white wrap was full of vegetables and tasty. The fruit was actually quite fresh too. More than enough food here as the portions filled me up just right for lunch without feeling weighed down. Healthy eats at a reasonable price point. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of seating in a clean environment. Food tasted good. Great prices for lunch specials. Can't ask for much more than that. Just a solid old school diner here in NYC. read more

No trip to New York ever seems complete unless I make at least one pit stop at one of the hundreds of family-run 24-hour coffee shops that seem to line the avenues of Manhattan. I was staying nearby at the Affinia Dumont on 34th Street and had an hour before I had to get into the office. I wasn't in the mood for a hotel-type buffet after a weekend of culinary debauchery, but a modest omelette would suit me just fine. This corner diner feels like it has Greek origins since they feature several Mediterranean specials, but there's also quite a few seafood, Mexican and Creole specials not to mention burgers, pasta and "diet delights". So what do I know? I was happy to see a full page of breakfast specials including my perennial favorites liked corned beef hash & eggs and French toast, I decided to be relatively good and order the $9.55 Egg White Vegetarian Omelette, which came with toast and a whole lotta home fries that were a tad on the greasy side (see photo). Overall it was pretty decent but nothing that excited me much. There were plenty of chopped vegetables inside, but there was a flatness to the flavor of the eggs that did make me wonder how fresh they were or if they came from a packaged mix. Still, I have to admit they hit the spot when I wanted something on the lighter side. FOOD - 3 stars...diner fare that met my expectations and nothing more AMBIANCE - 3 stars...basically the same diner you saw on "Seinfeld" or in "Frankie & Johnny" SERVICE - 2.5 stars...not too friendly but certainly fast enough TOTAL - 3 stars...if you want the standard NYC diner experience, you could do worse read more

We love the burger deluxe. The guy on the phone is really good. Delivery was quick. Never ate at the restaurant but I know the food is good.

I had a great time here with a small group. They have a varied menu of fun drinks. People in my group enjoyed both the breakfast and lunch foods that they ordered. My personal favorite was the chocolate chip pancakes! The portion size was plenty big for me. I ended up getting to take a pancake home :) It's a super fun spot in Murray Hill, I'm glad I gave it a try. read more

It appears that I had an unconscious awareness of Ray B.'s review of Gemini. I lingered on the Gemini omelette while perusing the menu but opted for a simpler eggs over medium with bacon. If only I had better recall of reviews from 13 months ago. My entree may have been to simple to gauge Gemini's virtuosity, but I will say the bacon was delightfully crisp. The service was spectacular. In a perfect world, the toast would have been pre-buttered but this may well be a nod to cultural trends in consumption of high-calorie bread toppings. read more

First time back here in awhile and it's my last. No air conditioning even tho it was in the 80's. Service terrible. Sat us in a section where the waiter must of been out to lunch. Someone finally took our order and, although it was fairly empty, 30 min later I was served cold eggs, cold potatoes and even the toasted bread was cold. Since our waiter was probably still out to lunch I guess nobody picked it up until it had sat for a while. When I finally got a waiters attention there was no apology or offer to redo the order. Told the manager when I was leaving and again, no offer to replace the items or not charge me for a terrible experience. Will never go there or order from them again. read more

IF I CAN GIVE A NEGATIVE STAR I WOULD. the food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered chicken ceaser salad and a cheese burger on rye bread with French fries. my salad was soggy and my chicken was dry. I couldn't even eat it. the burger was awful. it tasted like 3 day old meat. there was no utensils or ketchup and for my burger delux, the lettuc,tomato and pickles were wrapped in foil on the side. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I WOULDNT GIVE THIS GOOD TO LY WORST ENEMY. the k my thing they got right was a bottle of water. read more

Gemini is a delicious neighborhood diner that never disappoints. The menu is extensive and it is easy to get distracted. Focus your attention on the breakfast. My favorite dishes include the Mediterranean Omelette (pictured) , classic eggs Benedict, Murray Hill Omelette, and Challah French Toast. The breakfast is incredible, the service is speedy (both in-person and delivery), and the servings are large. If you are craving a solid diner experience, Gemini Diner is your spot! read more

This review is only for a recent dinner of burgers that I ordered for my three kids. Let's start with the positive, the fries were really good. The delivery was quick. Now for the negative, the burgers weren't so great. The kids' complained, too much grease and too much "juice" soaking the bottom buns. Kind of how I remember diner burgers from 40 years ago. But for my kids, "old school" only works for pizza. I will have to order some eggs soon, so I can update the review. read more

I have been going to Gemini Diner for almost 20 years. They deliver a consistent quality product every time. This evening I placed an order via Seamless. The order got lost and when we called the manager tried to track down his driver. He had us on hold for less then a minute. He was unable to locate his driver. He offered to send a brand new order right away, without us even asking. They are the best diner in nyc in my opinion! read more

Came here for a quick dinner before a movie. Service was good and quick. Wish the French onion soup had more cheese and onions in it.

One of our favorite diners in the neighborhood. We always eat here whenever we have to visit someone at the hospital. The service is excellent, and the portions are huge. We always bring home leftovers. We will definitely go back again. read more

Horrific! Ordered a mixed Mediterranean salad and it took an hour and fifteen minutes - I love 2 blocks away. More importantly, the ingredients seemed very old and wilting... the salad leaves were wilted, cucumbers had nearly turned into soft pickles and we found mold on the tomatoes. Stay away from this place! read more

Gemini is a decent dinner in Kips Bay Area for quick eats at anytime. (Great for drunken late night eats) It's a little more expensive than usual diner food. But they have a ton of options. They have whole wheat options for the pancakes and turkey burgers for the more health conscience. Personally go with the turkey burger, with avocado, egg, and pepper jack cheese and a side order of sweet potato fries. They have pick-up, dine-in, and delivery options. Usually very prompt with preparing food. Definitely one of the better diners in the area but nothing specifically outstanding to warrant the premium prices. That being said the food is very filling, portion size reasonable, and overall pretty tasty. Recommended for comfort food, Sunday Funday, or hangover helpful! read more

What is one supposed to do at 12:30am after some major walking and sight seeing? EAT of course! We could not find anything open and while we headed toward another place that was closing, they recommended we come to this diner. And my goodness, we're so glad we came here! The server was awesome! Our food was great too! We had the Matzo soup, a salad and a sandwich. I normally would not eat at a place that has 3 stars on yelp but i was really hungry! For being a diner, the whole experience was great and our bellies were satisfied read more

Great BBQ chicken beast sandwich. And the pancakes are fluffy. The booths are comfortable and there are nice decorations on the wall.

I've been here a few times and the food's actually really good for a 24 hour diner. The first time I went on purpose during the day and I was incredibly hungry and was craving smoked salmon. I got the smoked salmon poached egg Benedict with potatoes, and the smoked salmon came in a good portion and the eggs were perfectly poached. It hit the spot and gave plenty of food. The potatoes were slightly lackluster but that may be because there were so many and became repetitive. The second time I came here it was equally good too, despite being much later into the night. Prices seem high, but is likely average for a great diner in NYC. read more

Came here on a very late Saturday night or should I say Sunday morning...... Well after spending the night at a local bar we needed some food and stopped by here. We got a table in the back and ordered. I found the food to be good and not expensive. The service was good and fast. If you are looking for a diner in the area then this is a good place. read more

The penne pasta was great but the chicken kebab platter was not good. The vegetables were stale along with the chicken. The chicken and rice had no flavoring at all and no sauce was included. They could have at least drizzled lemon on the rice and chicken. It was the most bland chicken and rice dish I have ever tasted. The chicken was hard to bite through and tasted burnt on some spots. I was disappointed because it was a large portion size and I hate food going to waste. On a positive note, I loved their fruit smoothie; it was fresh and flavorful. The food only took around 15 minutes to be prepared. The packaging was thoughtful and included lots of utensil packs. Overall, their portion sizes are pretty big and their menu is extensive. I would recommend ordering any pasta and smoothie. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. I am very picky with diners, but this one is the one. They have really good fresh salads and incredibly friendly staff. 24 hour eateries can be pretty shady, but I'm in love with this one. Every time you want a quick, quality meal, this is the place to go. It's so clean and neat, I love it. The prices are average, but it's definitely worth the cash. 6/5 stars, would HIGHLY recommend! And for all you soda fanatics, there's not just Pepsi, there's Coke, too! Yep, this place is THAT good! read more

I love this place. It's like an outer borough diner that got stuck in 1979 and was magically transported to Murray Hill. I have the feeling the menu hasn't changed in decades and that's a good thing. I'm sure it was good then, and it's certainly good now. Gemini reminds me of one of those diners you may have gone to as a kid, and when you went back as an adult it was exactly the same; grizzled chef churning out burger platters and omelettes, old timey Greek cashier, and bustling wait staff refilling your coffee and water. I find that most diners in Manhattan are very mediocre and overpriced. Not so with Gemini. The food is always good and fresh, the menu is extensive and the prices are pretty fair. Plus, it's open 24 hrs a day, always good to know! The service is great here (even when they're busy), and the food is usually out toot sweet. They're also very reliable and fast when ordering on Seamless Web. I'd definitely recommend this place; it gets 4 stars out of 5 from me, as far as diners go. If you're looking for a traditional NY diner type place, check it out! read more

Always the best. The staff is friendly and you can get anything around the clock. Probably the best 24 hour diner in the city!!

No stars for them but have to give them one to post. For the second time I placed an order on Seamless and an hour and a half later it still didn't show. Had to walk over in the rain to find out what was going on and saw my order was on the Seamless list as pending after I received a message that it was on the way and was told by the manager that they were busy. Of course I canceled the order and received a 15 minutes later saying they canceled it because they were too busy. So.. If I didn't go in, I would have waited an hour and 40 minutes after I ordered to hear from them (pic attached). Here's a tip. If you're going to be on Seamless, make sure you can handle the volume and don't lie on your listing about your delivery time. "We're too busy" isn't an acceptable excuse to leave people waiting. read more

I finally took the time to swing by this diner tonight. It's a pretty cool spot. I thought it was a little spacey compared to other diners I've been to in the city. There seemed to be quite a lot going on at 3 AM, there was like some kind of Think Tank session with people bouncing from table to table over some kind of programming / computer related stuff. I had my staple omelette with hashbrowns and some zesty bacon. Threw in some coffee. It was dineriffic. How can you go wrong? It's 24 hours - big +. read more

They have a typical large diner menu and the food, for the most part, is pretty good. The only complaint from our table of 5 is that the home fries were bland. I had the turkey BLT wrap and it was really good! The service, however, kinda sucked. I think they're super overstaffed - we saw at least 3 people standing and texting during our entire visit. Our waiter answered every question with an "uh huh" and came off obnoxious. The bus boy was terrible - he had a pissed off look the whole time. I wonder what him and his girlfriend fought about. The diner itself is big and has lots of seating. Our group fit comfortably at a table. It's also close to the hospitals so you can get a quick bite to eat here. read more
