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

I got the pasta and honestly it had no flavor, it was watered down which was very weird because its pasta and it had chunks of i think butter??? Its supposed to be Alfredo. Never again. read more

Gemini Diner - Pasta with Choice of Sauce - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

3 star service, 1 star food experience. It's a typical diner - greek and cobb salads/ burgers/ omelettes. It was late when I got there - maybe around 10pm, so aside from myself and a few diners, it was pretty empty. I ended up getting really great service. Unfortunately, the food was sub par. I ordered the burger medium rare and it came out a bit too rare. The salad was decent and there was lots of it. But in the end, I felt like it was just not worth it. Breakfast food however, does seem like the go-to for this spot. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! Ordered eggs Benedict through uber eats...my order comes and there's no hollandaise sauce anywhere...so I call the restaurant and you know what the person on the phone says? "Ummm yeah we actually don't have any hollandaise sauce at all and that's how we make our eggs benedict." WHAT?! Not only is that DECEPTIVE to list and serve an item on your menu that IS NOT EVEN THAT ITEM, this so called "eggs Benedict" is burnt, the eggs are HARD, and I wouldn't even feed this shit to my dog. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! read more

I went here once before and the experience was pretty mediocre, but decided to stop in today because I was hungry and in a hurry. Spoiler alert: we ended up leaving before ordering We were originally offered a table by the door, but we asked to sit elsewhere because it was chilly outside. So the host walked us past several open tables and almost spitefully brought us to a back room with the lights off, then turns them on to reveal an employee sleeping in a booth next to his beer. Not exactly what I had in mind for boozy brunch. Anyway, it smelled like a high school locker room so we left before ordering. Definitely don't plan on returning. read more

Came here with my sister for some fuel on an adventure. This was the only place that was close by that seemed decent so we walked in and I'm glad we did. The service was very good and the prices were decent. We ordered the healthy smoothies to cool down. We had the Hawaiian vacation flavor which was so good! We also ordered the mozzarella sticks which were very tasty. I would recommend to a bite to eat with friends and family in the area. read more

We had a quick lunch here. The omelet was very good and the home fries were the best ever. A coffee milk shake was just perfect. read more

For what a diner should be - this was a pretty good choice for quick breakfast. We were seated right away and the food was extremely delicious. The menu is very extensive and has options for everyone. I believe it is 8 or so large pages worth of options so the variety is definitely there. I had the multi-grain pancakes with egg whites and turkey bacon combo. The multi-grain were more of a wheat pancake but really good. Thin but full of flavor. Egg whites were a little underdone, but nothing crazy. Service was decent - we waited quite a long time for our check, but they were busy so understandable. Reading other reviews it seems this is pretty normal so hopefully they can sort that out since service is so important to a positive experience. read more

One of those diner places you frequent after a night out in the city, when you can no longer distinguish good food from bad, or won't have any recollection of it the following day. They're open 24 hours, so a good spot for a visit after traipsing in Murray Hill. I came with a group of friends and sat in the back area. Clearly they get a lot of late-night business, as we were just one of many large groups chowing down. Gemini serves basic diner foods, including my cheeseburger deluxe with all the fixings and large cut fries. It was a run of the mill burger, but tasted great then and there. Thank you liquor. The front dining area also has a large desserts case. Why I didn't get a slice of pie I don't remember, but maybe on the next post-midnight run. read more

This diner has been nothing but a problem. My first time ordering they forgot a key ingredient for my burger. I called and complained and in their defense they delivered the ingredient with a free slice of fudge cake. It was a nice gesture but eating a cold burger kinda sucked. The second time I ordered from them I asked for a cup of matzoh ball soup and waffle fries. Well the soup was a large and not a cup and the waffle fries were soggy and gross. I didn't say anything and just ate the disgusting waffle fries. I called tonight at 10:30 to order matzoh ball soup and waffle fries extra crispy. I literally waited 45 minutes and nothing. I live three blocks from this diner. It takes what 3-5 minutes for the fries and the soup is already made. Well, I called and complained. Said I had waited 45 minutes for the order and wanted to cancel. The guy on the phone said it was only 25 minutes and I told him he was wrong and I checked my call record before calling. He then cussed me out and told me I was playing games with him and placing fake orders and that I should never order from there again. I was in shock. I did nothing wrong. They took too long and I didn't want soggy fries again. I asked for a refund and he cussed me out and said he would refund my money. Never have I been so insulted and belittled than I was by this man on the phone. I DO NOT recommend this diner to ANYONE. It is the worst. I'm in shock at how I was treated. read more

We ate lunch at the Gemini today with another couple and *loved* it! The food was delicious (my husband & I each ordered the mushroom & goat cheese ravioli, which came with a decent-sized salad [$10.95] - and for dessert we shared a huge piece of bread pudding [only $2.95, which was a *steal*!]). The booth was large & comfortable, the diner is a good size and it's open 24 hours/day. In addition, our server was terrific; not only very attentive, but he also had a very sweet personality. I complimented the owner afterwards (Gus) and he was a great guy. I plan to stop in for their bread pudding as often as possible; it was a real treat! (Update on 10/23/09): I have indeed stopped by occasionally for their bread pudding, and this evening I had dinner at the Gemini with a friend. I had one of their daily specials ($11.95) and I chose the eggplant parmigiana, which was a huge serving - and it came with a cup of soup, bread (just fair), coffee & dessert. I was too stuffed to eat the dessert, so it will make a great breakfast (bread pudding, of course). Our server was the same sweet guy from five months ago, and the (very friendly) owner was also there. read more

Greek owned and operated. Unusual selection for our midday meal in Manhattan between an HAL Cruise from Quebec and a flight home to San Diego!.. It was early for the Manhattanites so they ordered eggs, bacon. sausage and waffles! We had been up since 5 AM and had breakfast at the Lido on the Eurodam! Fortunately they offered Chicken Gyros and regular gyros plates with fried. We have had better, but was better than a hamburger or chicken sandwich. The service was almost nonexistent! Had to take the bill to the cashier to pay. Not what I'd call a Diner. read more

Either you're either tripping or you have no taste buds if you're thinking this diner is serving good food. Nothing too special just your average diner with your menu of breakfast items, burgers, sandwiches and those other "specials" nobody goes to a diner to order. We only walked in since my party had time to kill. Got the Lumberjack breakfast with French toast, bacon and eggs. French toast was boring for lack of better words, no taste and sloppily made. Scrambled eggs looked they were poured out of those milk cartons. Bacon is bacon, hard to mess up. Overall a diner is a diner, but I'm not impressed with the execution of a simple breakfast order. Separate check available upon request and they take credit/debit cards (surprisingly). read more

I came here with my good friend and her lovely mom who I call "mom too. Her mom wanted to take us to a nice and beautiful fancy place but I said don't worry much as long as we can relax and the food is reasonably good, I'm fine. So my friend suggested this diner. Surprisingly this diner makes a pretty good omelette! Mom and I had cheese omelettes. I liked! My friend had a nice vegetable omelette. Looked delicious too. The diner is quiet and quite relaxing. It has a beautiful Spanish-Mediterranean style paint. Good service. We had a great late lunch. Worth a try. Sometimes we think we can't get good stuff at diners but these days even diners are trying to compete. There's some diners that still maintain the classic style breakfast and serve good coffee. Explore before diners decide to go away. read more

During my vacation in NYC, my friends and my girlfriend went here for brunch and we had a great breakfast and coffee here. I got the Gyro Omlette with home fries and it was a big amount and it was tough to finish. Good thing I didn't ask for the toast knowing I usually don't finish 3 egg omelettes and has browns. The gyro meat was tasty in the eggs and the home fries were decent. I tried my girlfriend's Spinach Omelette and it was made well and tasted fresh. The strange thing about this restaurant is that it didn't feel like I was in Manhattan. I live in metro detroit and this type of "coney island" restaurants are all over the place. Practically one in every block. The taste of the food and interior just felt nothing unique or memorable for me. I recommend this place though and a good rating also. The staff were really nice and I had a great brunch. read more

Great, classic diner experience. Friendly, simple service. The french toast was somehow light and airy, and very thick. Belgian waffles also delish. The syrup for the food wasn't as thick as I prefer, nor as sweet, but it did the job okay. Nice, low-key breakfast experience overall. read more

Cockroaches... literally on the floor next to my booth. My friend and I went for a late night snack... beyond grossed out... when I mentioned to the "manager" on staff... he dismissed me.. Absolutely beyond gross and scary and nasty. OMG never ever again! read more

I've been going to the Gemini's for a long time. Still good food and excellent service

Used to like this place but things have changed. It's as if there was no energy or effort is spent on making the food taste good. Don't go by the menu on yelp the prices are not accurate. Ordered pick up and went by the link here to their menu and the prices were very different. When I explained this to them they wouldn't accommodate for the price difference. I ordered eggplant Parmesan and a steak meal... both were just flavorless. Hopefully they do better when the city opens up again. read more

This place is amazing been around for centuries and all the workers are so respectful the food is amazing I had a avocado burger with fries and wings yum yum yum everything is fresh and healthy and wonderful I would definitely recommend eating from them LOL read more

Nothing like a diner with a delicious burger ! I have only had the pizza burger- everytime. However, I can not say enough about how fresh the burger arre. Never a long wait to be seated or to get your food for that matter. The staff are pleasant and attentive. Reasonable prices for diner food. read more

My sister and I come here often when we don't know where to eat. It's right near our home and its been here since forever. We always order the same thing. The servers are the nicest people ever as well! I always get the Egg White Vegetarian Omelette with fries and my sister will get her usual burger w/ a Shirley temple. One of the best diners in the city! read more

The Gemini Diner is a stable in the Murray Hill/ Kips Bay neighborhood. The restaurant itself is very large and can accommodate both small and large parties. This is the perfect place to go on a weekend morning with your friends and recap the night or get that mid week breakfast for dinner craving fulfilled. The turkey club, egg sandwich, and French dip sandwiches are some of the favorites amongst my friends. read more

Found this when having dinner at Gemini last Friday. This is kinda gross. I hope they do a proper cleaning after seeing this picture. read more

Stopped in here for a casual Saturday breakfast. Coffee is good, but that's about it. Ordered pancakes, eggs, and potatoes. The potatoes they served were basically mushy pile of slop and were very much inedible. The eggs and pancakes were both very "meh". Omelette was basically a flat sheet of egg and the pancakes were a little rubbery. I do not plan on coming back and think there are much better breakfast options nearby. read more

We've never dined inside, but this is our go-to take-out place. You really can't go wrong. The delivery is extremely fast most days. On many occasions, we've received our food in less than 20 minutes. The most we've ever waited is about 40 minutes, and that's rare. All of the food arrives hot and fresh, and they have a great menu. Italian, Greek, American, etc. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it's always a solid choice! Even the delivery men are nice. If we order breakfast, they hand me our newspaper as well as our food. It's all the small details that separate a good establishment from a GREAT one. read more

I'm writing this in hopes they read it, for safety. Ordered pork chops--meat tasted a bit odd. Exchanged the item for a burger and meat also tasted odd. I thought it was me, but had major stomach problems today. For a few hours. Service good, portions huge...please check your refrigeration systems for meats--or make sure items are not spoiled. read more

We recently hosted a party for 25 people, it could not have gone better. The food and service were wonderful. These days, determining the number of people attending can be difficult: last minute Covid etc. We had great flexibility in setting the attendance number until very close to the event. Everyone who was there loved the food and the place. read more

I had terrible food poisoning after eating a veggie wrap here. I would avoid going here in the future

Decided to drop by here late tonight because most Restaurant do close early in the week days. Was a little hungry and decided to order a Romanian Skirt Steak On A Toasted Bun. It comes with a small cup of Cole Slaw, Half A Slice Of Pickles, Lettuce and Tomatoes, and French Fries all for the price of $13.95. Can't beat this price for a Romanian Skirt Steak. On average you will usually pay over $23.00 for a Romanian Skirt Steak and will have to pay for additional side orders. The steak was grilled and juicy. Great steak and it was a full portion over 12" long. Best deal in town. Staffs are polite and will always make sure everything is fine. Been to this place many times in the past 23 years. Food is great and price is reasonable. Will definitely come back again. read more

Came here with a crew after a night of drinking at Verlaine. if you're looking at the menu and you see the fish wrap and are curious like i was, do yourself a favor and get it. i was quite pleasantly surprised. super nice staff here as well. read more

Very good diner. Great burgers and onion rings that are not greasy. Always had very attentive service and to top this off, it's 24 / 7. If you're up late and in the neighborhood you can't do much better. read more

We order from here at least 3-5times a week love the cheese burgers. Issue? They claimed they came to my building but no one answered. I have 3 doorman. My cell phone number is on the email. They did not call me like they said and just left my order downstairs. I then had to call delivery.com and they explained that if I wanted a new order I would have to pay. The owner of the restaurant said it was my fault. You have lost business over a 11$ hamburger hope you are happy read more

I liked the grilled cheese sandwich as a main course, and a piece of chocolate fudge cake for dessert.

I have eaten at this establishment a few times, only when in the area which is once or twice a year. The last time I went, I was seated promptly as the morning rush was dwindling down and was greeted by a bus boy who did not understand my question so I waited for the waiter to come to the table which took some time yet the place was barely occupied. I placed my order and once it arrived one of my toast were burned so I asked for a replacement as I don't eat burned toast which seemed to annoy the waiter but it shouldn't as that is your job to tend to the customers needs, as the food is not provided free of charge. When the toast was replaced the plate was practically thrown on the table, are you kidding me? That is just not courteous and it's bad business to treat a customer with disrespect as if I asked for the entire order to be replaced, which I would not do, if it came to that point I'd just simply leave the establishment. With that said, I feel restaurants/eateries should train wait staff to be courteous and not take things personal when it should always be kept professional and ensure you cater to the needs of a paying customer! read more

Gemini is, surprisingly, neighborhood gem of a diner! It looks unnoticeable and bland from the outside, but judging from the number of people who gravitate to Gemini around brunch time on the weekends, it's definitely popular in the neighborhood as a trusted local diner. Service is always friendly and fast; they have only greeted me and my friends with smiles..seriously! I've only ordered breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, corned beef hash, waffles, and coffee at Gemini--and they have all been tasty and satisfying. Prices are very reasonable for a NYC diner and I have never had an issue using my credit cards here. read more

So Thursday morning comes & I'm hungover *sigh* Diner food sounds great!!! I ordered from Eat24 & I got: mozzarella sticks & a pizza bagel. Odd combo but the tummy wants what it wants. My expectations were low & I was really surprised by the food & service. My order was delivered very quickly, the delivery guy was pleasant, beautiful transaction. I busted this bag open at my desk & started with the bagel. The pizza bagel was open faced & almost looked like lasagna they way it was topped with cheese in a pool of red sauce. It was delicious, would totally order again. The mozz sticks...you can't really mess this up but these were breaded very lightly which was great. Very yummy. Their red sauce is good too so, perfect combo. Would totally order these again too. Thanks Gemini Diner you saved the day! read more

Came here after a night of drinking. Not sure how we decided on this place, but it was a drunken mistake. Overall not a very good dining experience (maybe I needed to be more drunk and more in college). I ordered the turkey and egg whites wrap. When it came, I was surprised to find that it was literally just that- some bland and dry turkey with pieces of egg white. There was NOTHING else in it. Had to try to salvage it with ketchup and pepper, but it was a lost cause. Most of the waiters were non native English speakers, so we had to repeat our orders a few times. The cashier was very pleasant, seated us quickly, and was nice on the eyes (again, might have been the alcohol). Everything else about this place was bad. Everything was also a lot more expensive that it had any right to be. No idea how it has so many stars on here. Oh, I remember why we came here- we couldn't find a street meat vendor that would've been an infinitely better meal. read more

This is a pretty good diner for Manhattan. If you sense a touch of "diner snobbery" in that statement, you're very perceptive. For I hail from New Jersey, where our diners are a form of religion. Still, Gemini is quite good, certainly one of the best diners I've experienced in Manhattan. I'm one of those people that will order a ham, mushroom, and provolone omelette at 2pm, and I'm glad I have the option to do so near work. Aesthetically, it's a typical diner. The place is pretty clean, service is no frills, the menu is large, and you get those little mints on your way out. Enough said. read more

Currently, Gemini is my favorite diner. 3 stars only cause I really don't like giving out 4 stars. Plus my culinary knowledge, level, & scale to which I review and critique places is extremely high. I'm still not sure why NY Times hasn't called me. Anyway.... As funny as this may sound, but I've never actually eaten inside the restaurant. AND i've only ordered when I was semi-sober AND it was always pass midnight when we placed the order for delivery. Let me elaborate - my cousin's apartment is 2 blocks away. And when we use to order from this place, we always came back from a lounge or bar. I know what your thinking. Any food taste good when your not fully sober. Not true. I am the exception. I'm a professional. So don't worry about it. I'm good like that....yah dig?!....Shit, i already had 3 glasses of red wine before i started this review. And look how insightful it is! So anyway, some recommendations for dat ass!. If you don't like it, drink some alcohol and try it again. -Burgers (all varieties are good) -Chicken Wings (bomb-ass pollo) -Onion rings (make sure you order a side of honey mustard to dip- FUCKING INSANITY - i swear, their honey mustard is the shiznit!) NY Times....holler at me! read more
