I love bagels and lox and eat it whenever I can. Not here. I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese and lox. The bagel was gummy and not toasted. The cream cheese was little packets of Philadelphia and the lox was too thick, too salty, and old. read more

This is the best diner...ever. They have the most delicious food, the best waitstaff (we particularly like Javier) and the interior is always spotless. My usual is chicken salad on a roll or BLT. Both are always plentifully filled and I usually end up taking half home. Service is fast and friendly. I only wish they were opened later, because the neighborhood needs a diner that stays open until, say 1AM. read more

Great food! I have been vegetarian for a while and i can say that this is the best veggie burger i have had. Great vibe is very calm and casual. read more

Delicious and pet friendly. Loved the Dragon Bowl They have a special pup treat. Thanks

Food was mid, better tasting food at Starbucks. Service is good, if you like language barrier staff. Lighting is nice, spacious. Plate presentation is ok read more

This was probably the worst diner I've been to in the city so far. We ordered fries, baked macaroni and cheese, and the fried shrimp basket. All of it was so bland. Not even salt could save the mac and cheese and shrimp. I will say the shrimp were very big and juicy, and the fries were cooked well. With salt, the fries were actually good. We were also seated quickly and service was fine. The strawberry milkshake was also fresh. read more

From the outside this looks like a small little diner but when I walked in I was surprised with how big it was. There are plenty of tables here and I am sure they don't fill up. We sat at a comfortable booth in the middle area. The service here is your typical diner experience... quick and to the point. You better know what you want when they come by! I grew up in these places being from NJ so this was nothing new. I sometimes make my own order instead of ordering off the menu at diners. I made my own omelette since that usually is my meal of choice. Omelettes always have to be made fresh thats why! If there was a definition in the dictionary for a omelette this would be it. Typical diner omellete! Filling and delicious. I also tried the black bean soup which wasn't my favorite but I see why people order it. The experience was pretty straightforward. The thing that is tough with these diners in nyc are the prices. With some of these prices I could go to a nicer restaurant. No offense to the diners but they aren't the same quality as some of these other lunch spots. Come on lets be honest. Anyway, if you need a quick bite and are craving diner food come by. read more

So when i first got to new york i tried this diner. The service was beautifully excecuted for a late night place. The laste night manager was however a waste of space he watched as the server bussed tables, ran food and a multitude of jobs without so much as lifting a finger so kudos to that server for being so compelling i came back for breakfast. Upon my return i had javier as a server he was cordial ,attentive and friendly. He didnt discriminate and the day staff functioned like a well tuned 2001 camry in the modern day. Smoothe with a hint of "wheres francisco" lol. My wife had the french toast it was fully cooked but not burnt, moist, and delectable. I reccomend the double cheeseburger. HUGE and i mean huge portion sizes (dont bother asking for tempatures) But a well done burger doesnt gurantee that its dry. All in all it was a good expieriance. Come back for fast diner eats, and friendly service. read more

Manhattan Diner - Double cheeseburger. Fuckin huge - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

Good local diner :) would definitely visit again! The food was a great hit amongst our group.

So it's been a while since I been back at the Manhattan Diner. Today there were more staff than patrons. We were seated by the kitchen, and area where plates and coffee were stacked. If they ever put you in this booth, move or you will hear everything. Plates being stacked, conversations going on, etc... Service was not as attentive. Had to ask for coffee refill, ask for box to doggy bag food. Staff too busy entertaining themselves. They will come ask what you want after giving you menu and bring your entrees. Provide water when you are seated. The rest is up to you. Another patron asked for the check and staff was laughing. Food is okay. Typical diner food. They are busy with delivery and guy announce delivery like dispatching this info. Food was ok. read more

Really solid pancakes and diner fair plus a decent cup of coffee. Service is classic nyc, at a quick pace, not unfriendly but abrupt

I come here on occasion for some good breakfast diner food when I get sick of seating a bagel for breakfast. I usually get the Lumberjack which is pancakes with 2 eggs, bacon, ham and sausage. I usually substitute the pancakes with french toast which they don't mind me doing. The other item I'd get would be the Corned Beef Hash with Eggs. Can't go wrong with either of these two decisions. Service is pretty decent as well. Don't forget to check in if you're dining Monday - Thursday as you'll get 15% off on your bill! read more

Delivery was quite fast. Open face turkey sandwich with mashed potato and carrots needed more gravy. Definitely need a lot of gravy to get through the layers. I will remember to always ask for additional gravy on the side otherwise good size portion with tender turkey. read more

Not as good as it used to be, some food not cooked good,service not as good as it used to be.

Took my shawtys here for lunch time, yurd they had od fork and starch here. I got od potato and they hooked it up with an extra pancake for free. 10/10 recommended I love the boys here too read more

Went for breakfast and discovered Manhattan Diner had exactly the same menu as Good Stuff Diner in the village, unexpected. We were hungry and here, so we made the best of it. Although sort of friendly, service was not very good. Even though the restaurant was not very crowded, hard to get coffee refills, questions about menu were answered with short fast answers that were difficult to understand, followed by a quick departure which did not allow for follow up. Wait staff then resumed the chatting with other workers that we interrupted. Although the menu was the same as Good Stuff, I did not enjoy my omelette as much (I think less feta), wife switched to an omelette (from french toast ordered at Good Stuff) and again was not impressed. Its ok, but would have looked for better options if time allowed. read more

Manhattan Diner is part of that endangered species variety of no-frills Manhattan diner where the owner still comes up to make friendly but gruff remarks and make sure your water is refilled. I'm not gonna lie, we chose this place because it was one of the kid-friendly places in the neighborhood, and it did not disappoint. Largely empty at 6 pm on the weekend, there was plenty of room for my friend's kids to roam and wreak havoc while the adults could still have a conversation. The menu is realiable diner fare so stick with those classics and you won't go wrong. Pastrami all the way. read more

The food and coffee were great and this was close to our hotel. The service was excellent. I really liked the ambiance, it has a nice retro interior (Art Deco?). I would definitely come back if I stay in the same neighborhood in the future. read more

Average diner food, nothing special. Maybe it's because I just ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and fries. It was good, but it's probably because you can't mess up a grilled cheese sandwich and fries.. seriously, you can't, I think! The place was packed, however. So, I might try their other food if I'm in town. read more

Great food. The ambience was amazing. I really enjoyed the burgers. Parking is a little hard to find.

We have been going for brunch every Sunday and we order from the diner often. So, you think the owner/ manager would be appreciative. When we we ordered tonight our food was 45min late. When I spoke to the manger he was rude and did nothing to help resolve the issue. I needed to contact seamless to get any help with my issue. I would recommend City Diner or Metro Diner on the UWS before ordering here. read more

Not quite up to average diner. Both the food and the service were hit or miss. Not sure where the name comes from , but it's not the food. My wife's burger came literally almost raw, and well done after being sent back. Medium to medium well please? Good fries. Tuna Melt heavy on mayo or whatever and not enough Tuna. 2 stars may be generous... read more

This is how a modern diner experience should be. I have a special place in my heart for diners. I loved in NJ during gradschool and you could not throw a rock in any direction without hitting a diner. This one would give a lot of the best ones in Nj a run for their money. Clean, quick, well lit and open with service that is quick polite but ready to get you your food. Menu has tons to choose from as well as your classics. I always can judge a diners cook by how I order the eggs. If the guy gets them perfect (scrambled soft) not runny... Bam. And yes it was out in less them 4 min (I timed) Crispy beacon great juice my meal was awesome. This is a real diner with all the great food you expect. read more

I love this diner. The interior is nice and clean and modern. The menu is extensive; the prices are excellent! My "usual" is the chicken souvlaki platter. Besides the chicken it comes with a generous serving of fries and a nice Greek salad. Since we live on the East Side and it was cold yesterday we ordered in via Uber. I monitored the deliveryman....15 or so minutes. It wasn't as good as "eat-in". I'm not lowering my rating (after, it's not right out of the oven); it's worth it for me to make an in person visit. read more

Was looking to get my "diner pancake" fix fulfilled and left this place satisfied. Three big chocolate chip pancakes and a side of breakfast sausage just for me. Asked for extra chocolate chips and was not disappointed. Was a little pricy with the $2.95 chocolate chip add-on -- plus the sausage was extra too -- but I'll never leave a bad review. Took the rest home with me and made it into two meals to compensate. But it wasn't like I was going to finish it there anyway. I'll be back for something else soon. read more

Manhattan Diner - 3 Chocolate Chip Pancakes and a side of sausage - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

Still excellent friendly fabulous soups burgers. Next time we order I'm going to inquire if they have their specials. Fish & chips always good, great salmon large portions and the BEST FRIES I've ever had! We aren't French fry people but theirs are almost magical! You have to try them. It seems that soup doesn't automatically come with the entrees anymore can be added for minimal price. Their chicken scampi and francese and Marsala when it's available also very tasty I've hardly covered their entire menu only thing we ever had and didn't like were meat balls a long time ago. Just solid reliable diner food and staff is very nice. , read more

The first time I tried to meet a friend for breakfast at the Manhattan Diner, it was in the middle of a summer heat wave and their AC was busted. Last week, when it was still quite hot, I was in the area looking for a quick lunch before leaving town. I stepped in first to check the temp, seemed like the AC was up and running, and tucked into a booth in the way back with two of my children. My first impression was one of sadness. Sadness that places like this one, the NYC old-school random diner, have, over time, turned into a rarity. My second impression was that, even with that said, it felt a little bit grimy, and that was troublesome. Plowing through my concerns over hygiene, we ordered a chicken salad salad, a chicken gyro platter and the moussaka special. The food was ok. I know this sounds weird, but all of our food felt ever so slightly tired, and old. While eating, I actually started to worry that a mouse might run across my foot. I need to be clear, that did NOT happen, but I couldn't help but stress that it might. With a very deep cleaning though, the Manhattan Diner could be something really special. The food is not bad, and certainly meets diner expectations. The staff was actually very nice, and the vibe is definitely old New York. read more

food was decent for diner, but the worst service, which taints the whole experience. the tone the waiters uses is mean and they rush you.

If you're looking for great tasting basics in a traditional diner, this is the best place in the area. Fantastic service, perfect diner atmosphere and interior design, and a comprehensive menu that accommodates everyone in any party. Lower reviews are lacking context and seem to be putting Manhattan Diner against the many New York eateries that serve their obnoxious takes on avocado toast. /This/ is what a great, traditional diner should be! read more

Solid Breakfast choice anytime of the day! I usually get the lumberjack and you can't beat it with a milkshake of course. If your new in town and need a breakfast diner this is it! read more

Really consistent diner food. Love the matzo ball soup. Happy it's in the area and I prefer it to city diner

I order take out from here quite often and its always a hit! Their salmon is my favorite. We plan to visit and dine in one day really soon.

In October of last year I stayed in the Days Inn down the street from this diner. I decided to walk in the first morning in New York and fell I love with this place. The staff is very friendly and the food was always some good eats. The classic diner but with a more hip decor style to it. The diner is opened 7 days a week from 6am-1am making it convenient to many to grab a bite justa about at any time. The first day I went in the morning and I had a multigrain waffle that was served with a scoop of plain yogurt, berries and walnuts. This was delicious !!! This was the first time I try a waffle mixed in with yogurt instead of adding syrup. That same day after much walking around the city I decided to stop by again and have a late night snack. I decided to order their Mucho Nachos (Corn tortillas chips topped with beef chili, jack cheese, tomatoes, onions and sour cream). That day I ordered a strawberry cheesecake that was THE BEST !! I've had so far! My fiancé ordered their carrot cake which was also a great choice. The dinner has a see thru cooler that holds all the desserts they offer by the slice. So many to chose from that for the following days after that I went just for the desserts. I had the strawberry cheesecake again and their strawberry short cake. But by far the cheesecake is in the winning. Everything was delicious i can't wait to be in New York again just to go have cheesecake. !!!!! read more

3 is a tad generous, but if you're coming for more than an average diner meal at Manhattan prices, you're going to the wrong place. Service is always friendly and attentive. But the food is pretty basic diner food, and honestly not even great diner food. Omelettes are greasy, pancakes dry, coffee weak, home fries not that crispy. It's really just a place to drop in when you're nearby and don't want to go further south to a better brunch restaurant. Sadly, this part of the city is lacking good brunch. I'll stop in again, most likely, albeit not because it's good. read more

This is the first time I went with my family. This is a very dependable diner and reasonably priced for the upper westside. Food is good, fresh and served quickly. Operation is run very well and the staff is friendly. I had the Manhattan Frittata with chorizo instead of Italian sausage. Big portion and just the right amount of basil. Our waiter recommended I add a special sauce- Valentina Hot Sauce. Fyi, you will need to request as Tabasco is on the table. This was a nice compliment. My son had the lumber jack, 2 eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage and ham. I thought the pancakes were properly cooked and appeared to be a diner-made mix. My wife had the Athenian omelette. She was very pleased as it did not have too much cheese. As I try to only review places I like, this is definitely one I recommend. It is dner - predictable and kid friendly. read more

Manhattan Diner - Manhattan Fritata with chori6. - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

I was in the neighborhood and a friend suggested grabbing dinner here. Although I was hesitant after a bad experience at a deli on the UES some weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. I had the tuna sandwich and the portion was generous. I added tomato to the lettuce they already have on there and both were super fresh! It was satisfying and decently priced. The service was really good as well! I will give them another try for breakfast and might up it to five stars. read more

I decided to try this place out on a whim and I'm glad I did. Sometimes the diner experience can be a little less than average, but this place is pretty good all around. I came here to do some computer work with options to have a cocktail and a small bite to eat and it's a great place for it if you are looking to do the same. The atmosphere is that of a classic diner. Very casual, friendly staff, not too loud establishment When I walked in I was greeted with a hello and a nice smile from what seems to be a manager? or even the owner? I appreciate a nice warm greeting into any restaurant. May seem like a small detail, but I definitely think it sets the tone for your experience at any restaurant. Good job! :) The service was pretty good and my waiter was attentive for the most part. I didn't have to ask or flag him down for a refill on my drink which is always a plus in my book. I had a few cocktails and they were pretty well made, 2 vodka diets and 2 cosmos. The cosmos were pretty tasty. I ordered the sweet potato fries which came out fresh and hot. They had a nice firm but soft texture to them. My friend ordered chicken tenders, eggs, and a side of bacon and he said that it was pretty good. Just from the looks of the chicken tenders they were definitely made to order. If you're in the hood, it's a place to check out. read more

This is a typical america diner but it is well kept. Lovely decor and friendly people. We were staying at the hotel next door so it was perfect for breakfast and for evening night caps. The hot chocolates are really nice (made with milk). Excellent location on broadway close to 96th subway stop. I was quite sad to leave as I truly enjoyed the environment. read more

I actually liked this place. It had good food cooked to order. The coffee mug stayed topped off. It's diner food which I enjoy. Nothing fancy just good comfort food at reasonable prices for NYC. I did not rate higher due to not the warmest personalities working there. But I would return in a heartbeat for the breakfast. read more
