Went there today on labor day to have my brunch and had the worst experience of my life ! I was first in line to be served for a tablet ... instead the server attended to a white person behind me and total ignore me ... Pure discrimination ! I advice everyone to boycott the place ... It happened on 9/7/2015 around 10.30 am ! Thank you ! read more

Ordered delivery from here for lunch, the food was good and the delivery was fast. I found they add a little too much onions in my food that is my only complaint. Otherwise a good place to order for lunch when you are looking for something quick. read more

The prices are pretty ridiculous for an EGG SHELLS (pet peeve of mine to bite into a crunchy egg shell) sandwich. I was so excited to try them but it was a disappointment. I'll stick to bravo cafe read more

Long weekend in NYC. We like diners, so we came here for breakfast the first day. Good service, good food, fair price. Of the two diners we visited over the weekend, this was the better of the two. Would eat here again. read more

Amazing food! The staff was so friendly and the service is quick. I had todays special the apple cinnamon roll pancakes, it's like eating apple pie with more sugar! The rest of my family raved about the pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Not a lot of restaurants around so this is good if your looking for a general diner. Especially if your staying at The Marriott downtown like we were. Cute place, highly recommend! read more

George's - American Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Super cute and homey diner with really good food. Good portions. The cappacinno was so cute!!

Ordered breakfast from George across Rector Place. It took an hour for delivery. When the food arrived, the sandwich, fries were cold, and soggy. The food taste horrible. The only mistake I made is calling this place. NEVER AGAIN. read more

a classic old NYC diner at the corner of Rector and Greenwich, downtown. Had to get in a traditional egg sandwich with cheese and bacon, on a roll. That, juice, and coffee, that's the real NYC in the morning. read more

This is a great spot to grab a coffee and a bagel! I know, I know, maybe it's not the best bagel in the world but most NY bagels are better than the majority of bagels from anywhere else. The people were so friendly and I appreciated their patience with us and our two year old! read more

Came here on my first day in NY. It was close to my hotel so I decided to try it. I wasn't in the mood for breakfast so I decided to just get chicken tenders. They were alright, not good or bad. I think the only good reviews they get are for their breakfast items because my friend had a philly cheese steak and he said it was mediocre. Also, our waiter was definitely drunk and we couldn't understand him at all. I also asked another employee for barbecue sauce....& they brought me ketchup (there was already a ketchup bottle at my table) I didn't bother to ask for it again read more

We ate at 15 places in 3 days in NYC, and this one was the least impressive, matter of fact I forgot what I ordered. My Mom had a burger and my sister had french toast. The waiter did not speak good English so there was a communication gap. read more

After visiting the 911 memorial, we happened by George's looking for a family friendly place to eat. And we found it. Our server, Alexis, was top notch and well exceeded our expectations in making our dining experience memorable and pleasurable. We sat outside, at the risk of being neglected as we've been at other restaurants, and this was not the case. The food was good, and the portions were great, especially the kids meals, which come not only with a drink, but also a scoop of ice cream. It was a great find on a hot day in the city. Thank you Alexis for making our experience great! read more

We ordered pastrami sandwiches and an itialian grinder - neither had much flavor - sent the pastrami back and tried the corn beef - a little better but nothing special. Service was good, bathroom was clean. read more

I will never go back Service is bad I ask for some Extra syrup she made a big deal about it i said we'll can I buy it from you .she threw it in the bad With a really nasty attitude . read more

The food is usually good, the portions are fair to normal and the prices are average for NYC. My three star rating is because we order from them weekly whether it be picking it up or delivery they always seem to F up our order! Always. It got to be completely ridiculous at one point and I went in and told them they need to focus. I ordered a sundae and got a root beer float, a oatmeal and got coffee in an oatmeal cup and so on. This place is overall a great spot and they are quick but they might be too quick for their own good and that is why they always screw up our orders. read more

Lovely outdoor area to have drinks and a dessert while waiting to go to the 9-11 Memorial.

A neighborhood gem! Neither 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, nor the wolves of Wall Street can stop these folks from giving the neighborhood a home-away-from-home. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with George's! read more

Pretty good. My daughter and I split a pancake and egg platter...pretty satisfied. Pancakes are fluffy and sweet, eggs are cooked just right. Other than the fact that I accidentally poured ketchup on my pancakes, the food was great. Would definitely consider coming back if I am ever in the area again. read more

Fast and friendly. Did not show up on our search for breakfast joints but they do a great one. Old school diner

Staying nearby and needing a robust breakfast after burning through a long run, I went into George's, with low expectations. As soon as I opened the door I was warmly greeted and shown to an open table. Service was efficient and friendly. I ordered a basic breakfast combo which took just the right time to be made to order. What was surprising for the better, is that not just that everything felt fresh and cooked exactly as I requests (well done hash-browns etc.), but unlike the typical diner, it was NOT swimming in oil, but rather made very homey. Simple yet delicious! Prices are more then reasonable leaving less then $9 for the pleasure. Perfect! read more

Disgusting cheeseburger clubs: as if they were cooked straight out of the freezer. Rude waiters. No bacon on a $17 cheeseburger club which normally is part of a club. read more

Delivery came as sloppy soup of coffee over all of my breakfast. Refund refused. Do not order from these thieves

Just what you want in a diner. The breakfast burrito was fantastic and was wrapped in the perfect tortilla.

Great food and very nice service. I had the eggs benedict and found it to be perfectly cooked! I was there over the weekend and the place was busy every morning so service was a bit slow. A surviving diner from pre 9/11 days so I'm certainly rooting for their success! read more

We were in NYC recently, and being an EMS person, a trip to Ground Zero was a must-do. After we paid our respects to all those valiant souls who perished in the 9/11 disaster, we were walking around and came across George's. What looked like a typical neighborhood cafe turned out to be a gem hidden among the streets of lower Manhattan. Good food, great service, and quite the history among all the news articles hanging on the upstairs dining area's walls. If you're in the area, stop in for a great meal, great service and a brief history lesson about what happened on 9.11.01. Loved this place. read more

My husband and I walked around the financial district for quite some time before settling on this place. What a mistake. I ordered moussakka for lunch. My husband ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. I've never seen a thicker, grayer moussaka in my life--totally unappealing, but I was hungry, so I gave it a shot. Why was it so grey? Maybe frozen forever? Regardless, it was nuclear hot on the outside and iced cold on the inside. I was beyond sending it back at this point, just nibbled around the edges and called it a day. My husband's entree was just as bad. He was presented with spaghetti swimming in water, with a dollop of darkly colored meat sauce on top. He also ordered a side of meatballs, which he had to send back to be heated because they, too, were ice cold inside. I see good reviews on their breakfasts, but when you think about it, how hard is it to screw up an egg and a side of meat? Steer clear of this joint if you want a good lunch or dinner. read more

Delicious lunch special! I got a chicken bacon avocado sandwich to go, and the portions were very generous. It even came with a huge side of potato salad (or regular salad), which was very well made too. They have a huge breakfast menu as well and I'll be returning to try their other offerings. They offer free delivery - a plus! read more

Solid diner in the financial district. Good place to get brunch when you're hungover on the weekends. Portions are large. On the weekends you can get a brunch entree with bottomless coffee or juice for $16. The multigrain pancakes with greek yogurt, granola and fruit was fantastic. read more

Good breakfast! As usual, a bit packed-in, but we got used to it after a while of eating in the city. The menu was good and the service was pretty prompt, except getting the bill. It seemed no matter where we went we had to wait 15-20 minutes after finishing our meal to receive our check. I'm not sure what is with that, but it seemed to happen everywhere. Most places we go in the US gives you the bill either before you finish eating or shortly after. read more

It was okay, typical New York diner. The service was very good, but sad to say the food was not impressive.

My wife, son, and myself ate lunch around 2pm in March on a Thursday. I liked that there were not many tourists there. The service was great for a deli. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich and she said it was the best chicken salad she has had. That is great praise, as she orders chicken salad frequently. We both enjoyed the split peas soup. Our son ordered a burger, which was excellent too. I had the reuben sandwich and the sauerkraut was excellent. As good as I have had in Germany. read more

Bet dinner ever! They are really busy but still great service and food, I had the Mexican omelette and my wife the avocado eggs Benedict, it was really good! Definitely coming back! For now on my favorite breakfast place read more

Angry service, when asked for the ticket split the response was we can write only 3 tickets. There were 7 individuals. First and last visit. read more

Good breakfast. Not great, not bad. Had the French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. The service was comparable to the meal. The coffee was... well, you know the drill. read more

Hot inside and crowded. Servers have an attitude. Asked for glass of water multiple times. Food was mediocre and priced high. I would go to a local bagel shop to order a breakfast sandwich before eating here. read more

STAY AWAY. AWFUL food. Must be under new management. We used to order from here all the time, but the last 2 times have been very bad. Food was so undercooked and gross. Omelet was missing ingredients. Obnoxious management wouldn't refund anything. $36 for 2 egg breakfasts. UPDATE: After seeing my review, management wrote the below response. I had already spent 2 days trying to resolve with the restaurant. Seamless tried 2 days in a row and were told there would be no refund read more

We only came here because of the 'awesome' reviews this place had, however, we were all quickly disappointed. The eggs Benedict was not only soggy, but it was also flavorless and dry. The home fries tasted exactly like sour cream (and there was no sour cream in sight). Pancakes - ihop level at best. And the corned beef hash...I make them better from the can! Last day in NYC and wanted a delicious breakfast but sadly disappointed. Oh well. read more

No frills, classic American breakfast spot. Can be a bit of a wait to be sat and for service, but it's quite busy and the layout of the restaurant (2 floors and an old building) make it tough. Chocolate pancakes were amazing, fries and bacon were not greasy, and eggs were all cooked to the correct order. Server was busy, but very polite and kind when at the table. Prices were right in like with a good breakfast spot in the city. Would go again if in financial district. read more

Popped in for lunch on a Sunday and sat upstairs. Good food- the gyro platter has the thickest slices of meat ever and so good- although I like my sangria boozier. Service was slow even without a crowd. Menu is huge and so are portions. read more
