I've wanted to go fresh kitchen for such a long time after seeing it on instagram and now that I'm in the city I have absolutely no regrets! Nicks service was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious, and the vibe felt great being such a simple restaurant. Next time I come here I'd love to get breakfast! Service [5/5] Nick was a great server! He made sure we enjoyed our meal, and he was a very friendly and funny person! He's very welcoming and I would love to have him as a server again. He's a great guy! The food came out really fast as well and our host let us sit wherever we wanted which was great because my phone was low and allowed us to sit next to an outlet. Fantastic service from Nick & the crew! Food [5/5] The food was fantastic! I mean extremely good! I was starving after coming from the MET and I'm so grateful I came here because the food was to die for. Literally. Chipotle Steak Quesadillas w/ Onion rings [5/5]: From the cheese pull to the size to the sauce used I'm not sure which was the best! The quesadillas are sooooo delicious the meat was so tender and it was like we got it fresh off the stove. It was hot, and the cheese pull was phenomenal it was so delicious and it cut into four humongous slices, I loved it! I would 110% order this again! The onion rings were also really crispy as well! Buffalo chicken wrap w/ sweet potato fries [5/5]: I was originally going to get this but I changed my mind last minute but thankfully my aunt did so I had some of hers. The buffalo chicken was really good not too spicy, she got it with blue cheese dressing but ranch is also an option. She also got a whole wheat wrap which is something that's offered as well! She loved the sweet potato fries as well. Honestly this meal was really good as well! Ambiance [5/5]: Green kitchen has a really sinple diner like look to it, while still being up to date with modern restaurants. I really enjoy the floral theme they have going on outside, if I didn't have to charge my phone I would've definitely sat outside. This place is extremely spacious so you wouldn't have a hard time getting sat unless it's ridiculously busy. Tldr: Great food, fantastic service, and nice interior. Would highly recommend! Thanks Nick for the service! read more

Try: Chicken & Pancakes, Corned Beef Hash, and Chicken Noodle Soup! Why: Took my parents to an early brunch and we enjoyed Chicken & Pancakes, Corned Beef Hash, and Chicken Noodle Soup! They were able to sub the waffles for pancakes, which was a huge stack of 3 fluffy pancakes topped with juicy fried chicken and maple syrup. Very filling and easily shareable. My dad got the Corned Beef Hash with eggs sunny side up. It also came with lots of sliced potatoes, which had slightly crispy edges. We dipped them in genie house sauce that was flavorful. Mom was craving soup to settle her tummy and she really liked the broth of Chicken Noodle Soup. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I washed down my food with mimosas that was nicely filled to the brim. Notes: Hostess and Waiter were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Waiter gave good recs too and kept the mimosa flowing. Clean spacious diner with large booths and table inside, and outside seating. We came at 11am before the brunch crowd so restaurant was about 1/2 capacity, by the time we left it was packed. Lots of families and strollers. We had a corner booth near front window, great location for people watching while enjoying a meal. Overall, good service, good brunch atmosphere, and good food. read more

'Green Kitchen's philosophy is a commitment to providing wholesome, sustainably sourced ingredients that celebrate the richness of nature. We believe that good food starts with good choices, which is why we partner with local farmers and suppliers to bring you the finest, freshest produce and proteins. Our menu is a reflection of our dedication to a healthier lifestyle without compromising on flavor.' Green Kitchen is living up to its philosophy by offering healthy grains, salads, soups and a wealth of options. Rochelle and I met up for lunch and dined Al fresco. The menu offers really tantalizing options: burgers, pancake options, salads, etc. Rochelle has been on an Eggs Benedict kick and that was her choice. I ordered an egg white spinach mozzarella omelette. There are options such as home fries, French fries or salad as sides to accompany the entree. We both chose home fries and whole wheat toast for my omelette. Rochelle ordered a regular iced coffee took one sip then one sip of my iced cappuccino and decided my cap was better. Here's how our entrees tasted: -Eggs Benedict: Two poached eggs on an english muffin with canadian bacon and avocado, topped with chipotle hollandaise sauce. I tasted the avocado and it was creamy and fresh. Rochelle enjoyed her meal immensely. -Egg White Omelette with spinach and mozzarella is made with three eggs, side of whole wheat toast and delicious home fries. The portion is generous and filling. This is part of build your own omelette on menu. -Iced Cappuccino: cream, dreamy and frothy, tbh, no added sweetener needed. -Service: courteous although I asked for iced water with lemon and received just water. Green Kitchen is a fine place for any meal; breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner. There is a Happy Hour weekdays from 11am-7pm. GK is a five star experience, however, loss of one star is the attention to details: we wanted to pay in cash but needed change from a big bill. The server took the bill and some confusion later " the bill you handed is not enough to pay the bill.." Okey dokey. GK is definitely a nice post shopping ( Bloomingdales), gym or meet up for a meal.

Nothing but positive things to say about this establishment. Been a bunch of times. Great food, great drinks (Happy hour is from 11am-7 ). It does get crowded because it is a VERY popular spot. They have indoor & outdoor seating, good music and great staff. I would love to see them put the hibiscus margarita on the menu permanently. Its really really good. I will be back. read more

I met up with local family that told us this place was kid friendly sit down after a long day at Central Park. It was more than welcoming to my kids and had so much available on the menu. It was really something for everyone. I also loved the green concept being in the middle on a concrete city. It was very refreshing and welcoming. With so much on the menu I really wasn't expecting much flavor wise, but everything was delicious. My kids pancakes were so fluffy and chocolatey, the mozzarella sticks came with a vodka sauce that made it different than the usual kind you get, and my chicken was flavorful. But the one that blew my mind was the watermelon salad. It was so refreshing and flavorful. I would order that over and over again. Next time I'm in New York I will definitely keep this place in mind. It was great! read more

Spacious, with large menu and a grwat neighborhood atmosphere. We stopped in for an mid day cocktail which was excellent- passion fruit margaritas. We ordered some fries just not to be wobbly and we did have late lunch plans elsewhere.

Great for large groups with menu including breakto dinner. read more

GK is a fun active brunch spot. Spacious but gets busy. Great for small or large groups, huge outdoor dining space too is great! The service was ok, I feel like I waited a bit longer than I should have for my spritz. Nonetheless, serve Nick was attentive and overall timely with getting our meals to us in a timely manner. Lively buzzing crowd, fresh greenery decor all through. I have plans to go again. Lastly, the food was delicious! read more

Green Kitchen - Fresh Fruit French Toast and Nutella Waffle... missing is a fresh squeezed OJ, a Tropicana smoothie, and a cold brew - all delicious! - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Solid Diner food with an impressive turnaround time for service and always available seating. The open restaurant design makes it easy to have conversations with people without overhearing one another and although it runs a bit on the expensive side, the prices are roughly where they need to be. $20 a dish. 3.75/5 stars as a lunch spot. read more

With what I think are identical menus, I'd rather go to Green Kitchen on E. 84th. The uptown branch has comfortable booths, more conducive to conversation. 70th Street does not, and with bad acoustics I could barely hear my friend talk. And she was sitting next to me! I was unable to capture my favorite component of dinner: avgolemono soup. (Photography is not my forte.) The soup was rich and lemony, just as I like it. The difference between a cup and bowl is only $2, so if you're a soup-person it makes sense to get the large and bring home what you don't finish. I paired my soup with a chicken salad sandwich, a measly 2 stars. It was bland and mushy. (My husband will be getting the half I didn't eat for dinner tonight!) His order, a Tijuana chicken sandwich, was a better choice. It was piled with bacon, pepper jack cheese, red onions and guacamole. My friend awarded her turkey burger four stars. It looked good, not as dry as turkey burgers tend to be. Green Kitchen does a great job with fries. The fries T and I shared were crisp and salty. (I took way more off his plate than I planned.) R's sweet potato fries were equally good. Our waitress -- whose name I didn't catch -- was terrific. Sweet and attentive without being annoying. Actually we liked everyone who came to our table. Green Kitchen has been in business since the 1930s. I'd consider it a hybrid of a diner and restaurant. They may take reservations, but we never make them. The menu is extensive enough that you'll inevitably find something that suits you. (Just don't get chicken salad.) read more

Delicious food, nice staff, and good drinks. The hibiscus margarita was meant to be spicy but wasn't. It was still good, though. Really enjoyed the turkey burger and the people I came with got Cobb salads with salmon. Wish I got a photo of the food. Definitely recommend a reservation for weekend brunch as it gets busy. The outdoor seating is nice and comfortable. Saw several cute pups out there as well! read more

Green Kitchen - Burrito Bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Buffalo wrap had great flavor, but was a pain to eat. They wrapped it with a lot of newspaper, so it was a struggle to gradually get it off, and toward the end, the whole thing just fell apart. Fries were good. Could've used a little more salt. Oreo milkshake was amazing. Pretty similar to the chickfila one, but thinner density. Paid $38 for just those few things :( Bartender was attentive. Very busy place with nice atmosphere. read more

Disappointed, I ordered the chicken salad to go because I saw how amazing it looked online. I ordered grilled chicken instead of crispy & apparently you get the garlic bread only if you order the crispy chicken salad. Wish the menu stated this. I was very disappointed when I opened my salad since basically it was $25 for a basic cesar salad. read more

Walked in for breakfast/brunch brunch on a warm spring morning, and Green Kitchen was buzzing! The place was packed with groups of families, many with small children, as well as other small and large groups. The dining space was spacious and the covered outdoor patio was also quite large. The bar area also had high tops, so there are plenty of seating options. The hostesses were friendly and seated us right away. Overall service was efficient and pleasant, and the food was fresh and cooked well. I could appreciate the traditional diner vibes with an updated modern twist. We had the oatmeal with berries, Mexican burrito, and the Vegetarian omelette. The food came out steaming and was delicious, hearty and filling. They definitely have a great variety menu items. We didn't have anything to drink this time, but next time I'll have to try one of their mimosas or espresso martinis! We had a great time at Green Kitchen overall! It was lively and vibrant. Definitely a great way to kick off a weekend! read more

I walked in with my friend on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. Service was a little slow - they were very busy. But our drinks took awhile to get. We got: - Chipotle chicken panini with fries ($24): I really enjoyed this! The fries were the exact crispiness I wanted. The sandwich is huge so I only had half. It's not really a panini because it was stuffed and not flat. - lychee martini - margarita - chicken Marsala: my friend enjoyed this! It came with a side of pasta (which I had a bite of and enjoyed) read more

We came to Green Kitchen for breakfast. It was nice that we could get in without a reservation. We were seated pretty quickly. I had the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. It was good but a bit too salty. I also had a side of berries ($10). The berries were very fresh, and it was a large portion. I tried some of my friend's home fries and they were great! I like this casual brunch spot, and I would come back! read more

Green Kitchen has great, delicious food. My concern is that every time I go to the one on 70th street they always sit the Black and POC in the back. Yesterday I went and they tried to sit us by the bathroom in the back again. I'm starting to see a pattern here. The food and drinks are always really good. I don't know how I feel about them always sitting Black and POC in the back though. read more

I don't typically travel uptown but I imagine with this congestion toll, these restaurants will be getting more of my business! This one definitely will be! First off happy hour starts at 11AM daily! Where they do that at? Pretty dope. I had the hibiscus toddy. The flavor was kinda there- it was just too syrupy and sweet in texture and taste. The food 10/10 my omelet was cooked to perfection! The French toast is exactly what you want how you want it. Sugar cinnamon and a nice thick cut! THESE FRIES THO!!! I asked the waiter if he recc I get the home fries or the French fries . He said the fries because they are not frozen they are cut and fried in house. They came out hot and absolutely delish. This just might become my regular uptown brunch spot read more

Green Kitchen - Waldorf Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

This Green kitchen location is in the 70's on the Upper east side. I had never stepped foot into this location so I was excited to try it. There are other locations around the city. We came here on the earlier side on a Friday. We got a table in the back no problem and did not need to wait. Our waiter was nice too. For food I got an omelette with mushrooms, cheese and avocado and my mom got eggs with ham. Both dishes came with breakfast potatoes which are not my favorite here. We both also got hot chocolate's with whipped cream and a cherry and a chocolate syrup drizzle. The one downside of this location is that for 9:00 in the morning the music was on the loud side. read more

This restaurant is such a cute upscale diner vibe for a weekend brunch. The menu was honestly insane and had all kinds of food options. Sometimes that is scary but honestly we had a great breakfast and everything we saw pass by looked phenomenal. Service was good even though it was busy. We did have a period where we had to wait a bit for butter and more water but it was noon on a Sunday. Portion sizes were really big so decent bang for your buck. Comforting meal, decent service, but nothing super crazy. read more

Green Kitchen - Side of French Fries, Hungry Man - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

3.5 stars for me / Came here for a work holiday party so didn't have to pay the bill but prices were ok. $18 for fried pickles seemed normal for the area and at least it was tasty and different. Substantial drink menu as well. Also tried crab croquettes and fish tacos. The tacos were soft shell double and soft fish not deep fried so although there was nice green toppings it was a little too soft overall for me. Spinach and artichoke dip was nice but the pita wasn't fresh or crunchy or soft and warm... it was a weird in between. Two gender neutral large bathrooms. It's a good spot but seems way better for breakfast. read more

Green Kitchen is outright amazing. This UES staple does everything right. From generous portions to delicious food and amazing staff, the experience here is always impressive.

This one is tough to write because the food is fantastic, but the ambience is horrific. Let's start with the food. Excellent! Large portions! I went with a group of 8 and everybody had a different dish. I had the steak frites which was fantastic. Tender meat, perfect season, and excellent fried. My wife had waffles which she loved. My son had an enormous burger which he thoroughly enjoyed. My brother in law had an omelette which was enormous. The food arrives very quickly. Here is the problem and it is a BIG problem. This might be the loudest restaurant I have ever seen. Nobody can hear the person across the table from them, or for that matter, the person next to them. It kills the dining experience. Also, the floors are VERY slippery. Be careful when you move your chair when you sit down because it might slide too far and you will fall. When you are sitting down, you chair can also slide. The floor is also part of the acoustics problem as there is nothing in the restaurant to deaden the noise. I would have given this restaurant a 5 because the food really is excellent, but the overall experience, including the noise, was a 3. read more

Came here with a reservation on a Saturday around 9:30 am but I don't think we needed one. There was plenty of seating.

Food didn't take long and I also noticed this place is dog friendly. read more

I went for brunch earlier today and had the worst experience. The food was amazing but the service from all THREE of our waiters was terrible.

Food was great but this place needs new staff!! read more
