Great place to grab a quick hot breakfast with generous portion sizes and friendly, attentive staff located just a few blocks from the WTC Memorial. There is an upper floor with additional seating that provides more space compared to the ground level. Bagels were warm and soft, home fries prepared well, and fruit tasted fresh. Definitely will return for another meal. read more

It was good but not great! The pancakes were a bit dry and the potatoes needed more salt. I did like that they had GF options. I have the GF pancakes, the mediterranean omelet. I'll be ordering again when i'm desperate for breakfast food. read more

Overall the ambience and service was really good however the nachos weren't great. The cheese is sliced and wasn't melted well so it was hard to eat with all the toppings falling off. The coffee was great. Would come again to try something else. read more

Date of visit: 8/8/21 Definitely your usual New York diner-type setup. I was torn between 2 and 3 stars but went with 3 as they are continuing to operate in these trying times, which many establishments cannot currently say. Nothing here is really outstanding, from the décor to the service to the food, but I appreciated that the prices were decent for New York and it was near our hotel, which can be tricky for the downtown/Financial District area. We were seated quickly and the wait to settle the bill wasn't too terrible, either. Again, nothing amazing but you could do worse while trying to find a bite to eat for breakfast in the area. read more

Just enjoyed a fabulous experience at George's Diner. Our youth group of 28 guests arrived for an early dinner after a day visiting St Nicholas National Shrine and the WTC 9/11 Memorial Museum. Oswal, Eddie and the entire crew were pleasant and attentive and made sure our group (including tired and hungry teenagers) was well taken care of! Such a great ending to a fabulous day! Highly recommend this place for a great meal!!! Thank you George's diner! read more

I have no idea why this only has 3 stars on Yelp. It is delicious, food for anyone, quick and amazing staff. Definitely a 5 stars. French Toast and Latte was perfect. read more

Despite the reviews I decided to give it a shot. If there is one word to describe this place...it would be overpriced. I paid $18 for a gyro and some fries when its literally $10 MAX anywhere else. My friend also ordered the pork gyro and had to take all of the pork out because it was not tasteful. The sauce that they claim to be tzatziki sauce is not even close to tasting anything like that. I was honestly quite disappointed. We also ordered a burger and fries which also came out to $18 which is way more compared to other similar style restaurants/diners. But I do see how this is a convenient spot to get a quick bite if you have a few extra $$ to spend. Just don't expect to be wowed. read more

Quintessential diner food. I find something really comforting about places with a million things on the menu and constant re-fills of fresh coffee. If you like and enjoy the concept of diners, this place is great. We ordered the super deluxe waffle (comes with eggs, bacon, sausages) and the eggs guacamole Benedict (minus ham). Hash browns could have been crispier, but the food was generally pretty solid all around. Not a take your mom to brunch place, but great place to recover after a night out. read more

George's is nice. After looking at many reviews things I made sure not to stray to far off basic menu items. Portions are large and have a good taste. We were seated and waited on quickly. The space was not crowed and it felt private with the dividers between table. read more

The food was extremely greasy. The sauces were watery and tasteless. My sister got sick from their Club Sandwich. The service was atrocious. We had two servers and both spoke little to no english. We recieved food we did not order and despite not eating it and telling them the issue, we were still charged for it. Our bill contained lots of items we never ordered nor recieved and it took us 30 minutes if explaining to them that we were not going to pay for those. They gave themselves a $20 tip without telling us in secret. The servers we had also seemed annoyed and aggressive to us. The ambiance was not great. It was gloomy and sparsely decorated. Tables were seperated by old and ratty wodden planks that were drilled together without much thought. The tables were sticky and slightly broken and the chairs shifted all the time and were not of great quality. I do not recommend this Restaurant. I would'nt wish the experience on my worst enemy. read more

I ordered a cappuccino and lobster eggs benedict and The food and the coffee were ok. orange juice is very good. service is amazing, polite, nice and very helpful stuff. ambiance is cool, typical America, music is 10/10. Put me in the mood for the day. read more

You simply cannot go wrong with this place! Founded in 1950, George's is what I now consider an NYC staple. I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy the extremely wide array of food options available. When you walk in, there's a bakery section full of delicious goodies, and breakfast and lunch are served all day. The food = delicious. The waiter & kitchen staff = quick and friendly. I ordered the Southwestern Eggs Benedict -- Two Poached Eggs on an English Muffin with Spicy Italian Sausage, Tomato, Green Peppers with Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce, served with Home Fries. D E L I C I O U S. My partner grabbed the George's Steak Sandwich -- London Broil, Sunny up Eggs, Cheddar, Pepper Jack and Grilled Onions. On a Ciabbatta Club Hero. Served with Potato Hash. I don't even have words to describe how delicious his plate was. And the best part of it all? The options are almost limitless. Want Italian? You've got it. Mexican? You've got it. Greek? You've got it. What feels like the closest thing to home-cooked Southern breakfast cooking in NYC? You've got it. Highly recommend! read more

Diner style food and menu but was really classic and good choice to go. It's a tight squeeze but the service was friendly

The prices here are CRIMINAL. For example, to add cheese to a burger it's $2.25 - so a VERY ordinary cheese burger with VERY average frozen fries is nearly $20!! You can go to Minetta Tavern and get one of the best, gourmet burgers and fries just $10 more....or Wendy's for $10, and it's the same quality. Don't get me started on all the other prices. It's a tourist trap at best. Average quality, with very prices high prices. Take a pass on this one. Oh, and and important note - the orders are often wrong, cold, and they almost always forget condiments. No more for me! read more

This hidden gem is fabulous, I came here for breakfast with my best friend a few weeks ago, and I ordered the over easy eggs, potatoes, and bacon and it was fabulous, my eggs were cooked perfectly, and it came out in less than five minutes. I would have given them five stars but when me and my friend arrived at the restaurant, there was no one there to greet us, and we were actually waiting for about six minutes before anybody would come in acknowledge us, that should be rectified. read more

A classic New York diner, more polished than most and still wears its age gracefully, a compliment to a business that's been in operation for nearly 75 years. It does everything a diner does, slightly better, and with a streamlined menu. With a more spacious corner on FiDi, they've established a pleasant, two-row outdoor dining area. Stopped by for breakfast on an unnaturally quiet weekday morning; pre-pandemic, I could imagine it bustled with people going to work. The sole server was attentive despite splitting his attention between multiple diners, and running in and out bussing tables. Solid cup of coffee, and refilled frequently. The frequent flyer omelette of feta, spinach, tomato and onion (here called Mediterranean) is good quality with plentiful fillings and a distinct feta flavor; omelette and hash browns needed salt but I rather add it myself than have it too salty. It's a tad pricier than my usual low-key diner stops in Queens or Brooklyn, but that's location. While nothing upscale or exceptional, that's not why you'd come here. George's is a very good, New York diner experience, and that is worth having. read more

Wanted a quick and simple breakfast, got an oatmeal, orange juice and two cups of fruit. First off how is it possible that this adds up to $41, that's absurd. The oatmeal was ok, but the fruit was way too old for consumption. Also they only open at 7, do if you start work early, you are out of luck read more

I love George's. Chantilly French toast is my brunch go to! Mimosas are good. But my favorite thing is their banana walnut muffin

I've traveled to NYC and had really great experiences with local diners before but this was not one of them. I did enjoy reading about how they came back post 9/11 and the setup is promising. But it lacked in every area after that. The food was very bland. Fries hard. Burger dry. Sandwich bland. I wasn't impressed with the food. The service was solid when it came to our table and waiting on us. But when we received the check they made a point to circle out the recommended tip for us to leave. I find this highly tacky and even in our new tipping culture world this was out of line. Not impressed and will not recommend anyone else come here. I will not give it 1 stars as it was edible food that didn't make me sick and the bottle of water was very cold. read more

Great food and incredible service!!!! Definitely a great spot to grab ANYTHING (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or dessert). They have a huge menu and various options for everyone in your party. We had a hard time figuring out exactly what we wanted! Will come back here again on our next NY trip! Thank you, George's!!! read more

On our visit to New York City from California we found this gem for our favorite breakfast stop! They have classic breakfast items which were the perfect way to start the day! The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. The first time we went we got seated right away. The second time we waited about 20 minutes, which is what she told us it would be. But the food and service made it worth the wait! Would highly recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Another quintessential NY diner that does breakfast right! Strong coffee, lots of tasty food at reasonable prices, what more do you want? I had the banana waffle with a side of bacon. Bananas were fresh, waffle was just the right amount of crispy outside/chewy inside and the bacon was crisp! I arrived at a little before 8:30 in the morning and the place was almost empty. By the time I left a little after 9, it was packed. If you want fancy keep scrolling. If you want something tasty, inexpensive and filling, give this place a shot. read more

We came across this place while exploring and decided to give it a try. We ordered two plates of pancakes with turkey sausage and a grilled cheese with fries. The pancakes were hot, fluffy and delicious! The turkey sausage was ok. The grilled cheese was pretty good. The only downside to this place was the seating. We felt a little crammed. I ordered a strawberry milkshake before we left. That was super cream and delicious! read more

My husband and I spent the night at Club Quarters TWC after an awesome concert at Pier 17 to celebrate my 50th birthday. This morning we happened upon George's. What a great find! I had the BLT wrap with delicious fries (my husband kept stealing them). I was able to box up half to have for lunch later. He had a western omlette with home fries (not as good as the French fries I got, but he did clean his plate) Next time we come to the city, we'll be back!!! Sorry, I still never remember to take pics of my food. read more

For the first time being in New York I ate at George's restaurant and my goodness it was delicious!! Like 10/10 everything. I got the cinnamon pancakes with cheese eggs/turkey bacon. The service was amazing, our waiter was chill and checked on us frequently. The music choice was also amazing, they played tears for fears "every one wants to rule the world" fell in love. read more

Service is amazing, the food was at our table immediately. The waiters were also nice!

I'm very disappointed in the service that I received today. I went for brunch today. My date and I put our names on a list to be seated for a table for two. The hostess said that it would take about 20 minutes for us to be seated. The hostess seated a couple before seating us, even though the couple came in after us. When I pointed to the list of names that the hostess had written down and I showed her that my date's name was four people ahead of the couple who just took our table, the hostess did not apologize. She did not try to accommodate us nor even give us any customer service. I feel that if I were not a Black woman and if my date we're not an Asian American woman, then we would've been seated before the white man and his white date. I feel like the hostess decided to seat the white man before seating us, because we are minorities. I am very disappointed with the discrimination that occurred today. I want the restaurant to apologize to me and my date. read more

If it looked great coming out, we just wanted a light breakfast. Don't come here for a late breakfast. The oatmeal came with a bowl of oatmeal and nothing else in the avocado toast is smashed avocado, and a piece of bread with nothing else. If you're hungry, the breakfast looks amazing if you want something and not the place for you. Services incredibly fast. read more
