Ugh George's, I had such high hopes for you but you disappointed. Line was long on a sunday around 11am, but it moved quickly. We were wedged in next to other tables but that's to be expected as seating was tight in there. I had the hungry man omelet and fiancé had the basic 2 eggs breakfast with and add on of bacon. I am currently on the keto diet and asked to substitute anything for the home fries like sliced tomato, the server offered fruit instead so I said ok knowing I wouldn't eat it. In the end I had a $2.50 extra charge for the fruit and I said I'm not paying that and he said there's a charge and I said I didn't want anything but you offered fruit so I went with it and he proceeded to tell me the substitute charge is on the menu when I asked why he didn't tell me about the up charge for something I didn't touch and that's still here on the table. I told him to make the charge go away or it's coming out of his tip......the charge didn't go away and I won't be coming back here. Even if we didn't have the up charge debacle, the food wasn't good. read more

Year after year, George's brings the heat. Chocolate milk, pancakes, fried egg sandies, grilled cheese, wraps; George's does it all. Great place to talk F&F movies with your dogs. Thinking about a new business plan or a screenplay to pitch to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? George's is your spot. Will be a George's lifer for years to come. 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

The house potatoes were AMAZING..i had the southwestern eggs benedixt.for brunxh with BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS both amazing. Price was decent $15.95 for their brunch. Its my first time visiting NYC and i had no regrets comin here read more

Mediterranean omelet was delicious and the corned beef hash was crack especially with my over medium eggs running out on top of the corned beef hash!! Besides that, the best part was the staff. They thought we left our Amex card behind and the unbelievably nice server ran after us like I've never seen. Turns out it wasn't ours but the sweetest lady ever Elizabeth's who was sitting beside us with her adorable and well behaved daughter. This made my day, the whole experience did. Must go for great priced and delicious food. "Nom nom nom" as others would say read more

Good place for breakfast. Wait staff was good. Family all enjoyed he meal. I saw several people post that their food came out cold. This was definitely not the case. We all had different menu items and we all liked what we ordered. Definitely would go back next time we are in town. read more

Quality New York Diner, the only one around for blocks. Very good coffee, well-executed diner fare, and they seem to be very quick with the orders. I don't know what else you could want from a neighborhood joint. read more

We stopped in and had a quick bite on our way to do tourist things. Great, albeit a wee bit pricey, food (though the portions were quite generous, so that may have something to do with it). I had the Monte Cristo, which was wonderful, though I wish it was served with the traditional jam. My husband had a delicious looking Reuben. Our sons each had burgers that were perfectly seasoned and enjoyed by both. The onion rings were wonderful - none of the minced and formed onion rings, but big hearty rings that looked like they were just cut. A great experience here. Service was prompt and attentive.. read more

I've been to George's twice and had a good experience each time. Chef knows how to make bacon according to customer request, which I really appreciate. Prices are a little steep and the upstairs area is a little crowded, but overall I've had good experiences at George's. read more

The croissant french toast was on point, I always get the eggs benedict both are amazing choices. Definitely coming back.

I had a bad experience here a couple years ago, but recently decided to give it another go. I'm so glad I did. As expected, the service is nothing special -- it's your average diner. The coffee is slightly better than normal diner coffee, and the prices are reasonable for an NYC diner. I got the corned beef hash and it was great. Very tasty. My friend got pancakes, and they looked delicious. Will be back! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in New York !!! When I went with my friend they had a kind hostess and good food service !! There food was delicious !! Amazing customer service kind friendly !! :) read more

Perfect classic diner breakfast. Nice sized portions. Fresh food. Great cup of coffee. Service was quick. Would return.

Food: dramatically bad. Bleu cheese dressing - no bleu cheese. basically just mayonnaise spinach and artichoke dip - overwhelmingly vinegar-y shrimp linguine - a pile of overcooked, mushy linguine in some kind of sauce which had absolutely no flavor. the shrimp were ok-- i think they were fresh - but cooked with no seasoning and completely flavorless garlic knots? - HA! a toasted kaiser roll, crumbly and stale, with a swipe of margarine and some garlic powder. and I mean a swipe..like a dot; basically you're just chewing on stale, dry toast. red velvet cake - stale Service: awful we were seated at a two top far too small for all of our plates, especially because empties were not cleared away. there was one server for 7-8 tables, no large parties and all close together, but still he was completely overwhelmed. As a former waitress, I try to give servers the benefit of the doubt-- maybe he's just having a bad day, or maybe there's something going on in the kitchen we don't know about. But this kid....I don't know. He would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. We sat for at least 30 minutes, plates of unfinished disgusting linguine in front of us, and no sign of our server to clear our plates and take a dessert order. I was determined to have dessert, since I was breaking my fast from Yom Kippur, and the apps and entree were so disappointing. The cake was stale and way too sweet. Our waters were never refilled. Based on the reviews, they do a nice breakfast here. My boyfriend says you should only order diner food -- breakfast, biurgers, sandwiches etc.-- in diners. I never take his advice, and I'm always disappointed. Finally, I get it. I can't ever go back to George's -- too many bad memories, too much heartbreak. But if you go.....Order Breakfast! read more

Service was fast and friendly, food was okay (eggs guacamole) but I did find a hair in each of the eggs which put me off.

Had the dulce de leche pancakes. There was ice cream on top. So delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. read more

Ordered Eggs Benedict and my friend ordered a bagel toasted with butter. Eggs benedict was not good at all and the bagel was stale. Very dirty inside this place as well. read more

Our experience at George's was great. The hostess who sat us was very courteous with a smile on her face. Our waiter was also great. The food was very tasty, the english muffin in particular was very good. read more

Not impressed..neither by the food nor by the service or the restaurant itself. It was was just plain average. And that automatically means overpriced! Reading the reviews I expect more but they did not deliver. Service was quite fast but uninterested and the food did not give us the wow factor. It is not very likely we will visit a second time but maybe we just caught them at a wrong morning. I'll leave it up to you to go and visit them and proof me wrong. read more

Watch out for George's if you order delivery. The last two times I ordered the price I was given online was not what I was charged. I paid $2 bucks more per item ordered. The first time the excuse was the prices were more expensive on the weekend. Then the menu was updated on Grubhub and I ordered the early bird special and still they delivered to me and wanted $3 more. I asked why as that's not the price I was given when I placed the order and the delivery guy said they raised the prices...what in one week they raised the prices twice?! So I called and asked to speak to a manager who wouldn't give me her name and she blamed it on grubhub that they didn't update the menu which had just been updated the week before. They'll do anything to get another buck from you. I told them they lost a customer. It's ridiculous to pay $4 more every time you order. read more

Decent prices and quick service. It was a packed house when my wife and I ate there but we ordered and were served in about 15 minutes time. And considering how busy it was, the waiters were surprisingly friendly. It's right near ground zero and wall street so it's a convenient stop during a lower Manhattan tour. read more

Sept. 11, 2011 Absolute Garbage. French Onion Soup- DishWater w/ ? Cheese-SCALDING hot. Spaghetti/Meatballs- How old was it w/ dark brown sauce (not bolognese) Fried Fish- Mystery fish fried in old oil, darker than the soles of my black boots. Cheeseburger- No clue what it was, beside grease& RAW ground matter. Fish n Chips Special not available-same fish, no batter. Loved all the beer signs, yet has no liquor license. Shout out for the recommendation to wasting time,walk,money & appetite. Just a block or two south is a Friday's & an Irish pub, that assuredly, would've provided a much tastier/cleaner meal. Perhaps, Suspenders, PJ Clarkes & even O'Hara's will suit your fancy. Fantastic pizza up the block from O'Hara's & I am a NY'er. Good Luck read more

I've been twice, had great service both times, and the food seemed pretty decent, the chicken came with a big heap of fresh veggies, the best vegetables I've had at any diner I think (diners are not known for veg) BUT both times the meat was cooked with no salt, the mashed potatoes had no salt either. I understand that some folks are worried about too much sodium, I'd rather have the cook put some in the food then have to reach for the shaker at the table since that way you always end up with much more than if it the meal had been properly seasoned in the first place. read more

I ordered a sundae and received one waffle and two scoops of ice cream on the side. it was almost melted. But I did speak to the owner and he was apologetic and wanted me to try again. I would try it again... read more

Greek Salad is my go-to at George's. Gyro and fries are delicious (: I'm afraid to post about how great the brunch menu is because I really shouldn't indulge. Hmmm. read more

I've ordered from this place before and I cannot give it more than 2 stars. The food is horrible and the customer service is very low. The people can hardly speak english and that makes ordering all the more complicated. I would think in this area they would be up to par with customer service and at least a 4 star restaurant. read more

Not so great of an experience. I use to come here all the time, either dine in or take out. Did they change owners?? I called for omelet order and asked for additional ham (assuming they would understand that I meant for the ham to be inside the omelet). when I picked it up, ham came as a side, they put all of these extra salsa stuff right on top of my omelet which is really salty and giving me severe heartburn, and try to argue w/ me that i didn't give them the right instructions (3 ppl at once attacking me on it). I ate at George's before, this has never happened before. I think they also charged me extra for my omelet which was $7 for the omelet and 2 slices of ham came to a total of $10.29 (I'm confused, does 2 slides of ham really cost $2 and more in NYC???) Never going back again until they figure out what they are doing... read more

Best Scallion Schmear ever ! Good for a quick meal with fair prices. Close to WTC if you're visiting and also need a clean restroom.

I ordered from George's a few times (via Seamless) and was generally happy. One day I decided to actually find the place. I went and had a Texas burger and was again happy and quite comfortable, although in the future I will try to go at times when it's less busy. A suggestion regarding web site design. All restaurant web sites should put their address and hours prominently on the home page. At best, that information should be on *every* page. At worst, that information should at least be on the "Contact" page. The George's web site does not have the hours anywhere. May I suggest adding this information, which should be very simple to do. Also, the email address given on the "Contact" page does not work. I tried sending the above feedback to george@georges-ny.com and it bounced. read more

This place has a huge menu and is pretty much hit or miss. Chicken wings are really good there. Burger not so good. Quesadilla not so good. Omelets good. Overall it's good for delivery downtown where there are not a ton of options read more

George's proved to be the perfect spot for my wife and I for a simple breakfast to get our day rolling. Coffee is exceptional, and the service attentive. Food was spot on , and reasonably priced. read more

I was staying with a friend in Manhattan for the night, and was looking to get a great breakfast in NYC before looking around for the day. My friend recommended George's due to its easy location (across the street from us) and incredible food. Started great with a very tasty cup of freshly brewed coffee, and continued into the meal. I ordered the corn beef hash with scrambled eggs. The food was perfectly done, very flavorful. To my please my surprise it also came with two slices of toast and some potatoes. All this while having great service, and an immersive atmosphere. I highly recommend George's to anyone visiting Manhattan!!! read more

During our recent NYC vacation, we planned on having breakfast at George's prior to seeing the statue of liberty. The food was fine.... no complaints. .... The service was horrid. ... Our waiter had to be called to our table for everything we needed and he totally reversed our order. ... My wife ordered scrambled eggs with bacon.... I ordered pancakes with sausage. .... He came back to the table and gave my wife pancakes with bacon and gave me scrambled eggs with sausage. ... We didn't complain... we just switched plates, then switched side dishes. It may have just been a bad day and every restaurant suffers lapses like this.. .... Based on food alone, George's is fine. ... But based on service, we wouldn't go back. read more

Georges offers a wide variety of food selections at a decent price for manhattan. If you live in fidi its a pretty solid place to bring visiting friends/family. Also it doesnt take too long to get a table! read more

I think the menu at the diner is different from the online menu. I came here with a group of coworkers for lunch and we were seated immediately. I got the California Club - and it was sooooo good. It came with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, ranch dressing, and a plate of fries. My coworker got the tuna melt which she fell in love with. Everyone was so happy with their meal. I was expecting the food to be blah after reading all the reviews but I was impressed with how good my meal was. read more

No seasoning on food and server did not let me know that drink was not refillable. Too pricey...I will not go back or recommend to anyone.

BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER. I would 100% recommend this place... The service was amazing and the food was fantastic!!!

Never again! The food was disgusting, the potatoes tastes like rubbish and the service stuff is really unfriendly and didn't pay attention of there guests. The coffee was horrible as well... read more

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat this is exactly all this place is. Some food is already pre-cooked and ready to go after a brief moment after warming up. The menu is way to big. They need to separate menus and make it easier for the average costumer to navigate through. read more

Only been in this cafe for 15 minutes and already am turned off. We're on a tight schedule so we had to stick with this place. The hostess had the worst attitude possible. Complained where we were standing because she couldn't greet incoming guests when she never greeted us. She never took us to our table to be seated. She brought us the the upper level and walked away. We had to figure out what table we had to sit at by ourselves and when we mentioned this to her she just walked away from us. My grandfather in law worked on Rector and when we mentioned to him we went to eat here he said "are they still assholes?" The ambiance of this place is not positive at all. I hope their food shows us differently. read more
