    Would give ZERO stars if possible. Ordered avocado toast. Got plain toast with avocado chunks and eggs thrown in a container. Not avocado toast. Called to explain and a manager named Larry became aggressive and sexist--a total chauvinistic pig--calling me "honey" and "baby," and refusing to give his name. He told me to return the food, then acted even worse in person, shoving the menu at me and saying he didn't care. Staff admitted he fights with them often. Terrible food, worse treatment. Never again.

    Chicken Parm on Hero

    The staffs are friendly. Ordered chicken parm on hero to go. It came with pickle and coleslaw. The chick parm sandwich was good but it didn't come with fries. Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: 3/5[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken Alba Sandwich with onion rings

    Pretty good food I've explored more items on the menu. The chicken sandwiches are great. We love those. The pasta dishes are also very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Solid place that has really gotten better with time[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Honestly horrible food. Stopped by this morning to get some breakfast before a doctor's appointment and got the challah French toast with a side of bacon. The challah French toast was some of the worst I've ever had. It was oddly both bland/tasteless and weirdly undercooked/soggy. I had to drown it in syrup just to make it edible and only ate the smaller of the two pieces. The bacon was also horrible. It was either old or overcooked or both. It wasn't crispy or chewy, just kind of felt like you're eating cardboard and tasted probably about as good as cardboard tastes. It also didn't really look like bacon but more like a bacon flavored dog treat. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one is because the waiter was very sweet and the coffee was decent. I won't be coming back here though because if you mess up something as simple as French toast, I'm afraid to taste anything else here.

    Open faced Pastrami sandwich

    The Mirage Diner has been around many years. I've passed it for many years and never stopped! We decided to come for dinner because my husband's aunt orders from here and always says how good everything is and she said they have a great lime Ricky. Well they do and the food was excellent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner is spotless too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter came over and introduced himself, which I haven't seen in a while. My husband got his usual pizza burger deluxe. It was done perfectly medium, juicy and delicious! The fries were good not greasy at all. There were two good sized onion rings and your tomato which looked nice not mealy and lettuce. Now I've been dying for pastrami for weeks but too darn cheap to go get one. The Mirage has pastrami and corned beef, also brisket which I'll try next time. I took a shot and got the open faced pastrami sandwich. I'm thinking ugh you idiot...IT WAS DELICIOUS! Just as good as any kosher deli if not better. It smelled heavenly and it had just enough fat to keep it from being dry and not where you have to constantly cut fat off. I found out they won an award for their pastrami! The hot open faced sandwiches comes with soup or salad, I opted for salad which was fresh and crisp, potato of choice and a veg. We will be going back and I suggest you all do too! Definitely get a pastrami sandwich!

    Will you be open Thanksgiving 2021?

    Comparing this diner to the Vegas diner which is now closed down which is better?

    I was a long Vegas regular, Mirage is better. The onion bread that usually comes in the bread basket w/dinner on Sundays is hella good.

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

    I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

    We were staying in the neighborhood and trying to find a spot within walking distance for dinner…read more After wandering around for awhile, we landed on Jey Diner after walking past. This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.

But if you're looking for some excellent, straight forward, wonderfully crafted simplicity, this is in your wheelhouse. A quesadilla is a quesadilla, a hamburger a hamburger. Sounds boring? Not when your hamburger and quesadilla are amongst the best you've ever had at any diner, anywhere. Our waitress was very nice and allowed us to dine, unbothered. We ordered a fresh fruit platter for dessert. It included watermelon, mango, grapes, apples, strawberries, etc. very nice, well presented. The dining area certainly belies what happens in that kitchen behind the door. I'll be back to try some more simple, but excellent food.

    we ordered three items:…read more 1. cheeseburger with fries 2. caesar salad 3. chicken parm all were excellent. I loved that the cheeseburger had crispy lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and cheese. The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

While they have all the traditional breakfast fare, I was so happy to see it also had a Caribbean twist to it. I couldn't help myself--I had to order rice and beans with pernil (pork shoulder) and a side of sweet plantains. Of course, I wanted some actual breakfast items, so we got the French toast loaded with fruit. We also got both the tres and quatro golpes, which is a traditional Dominican breakfast. Lastly, we got a Caribbean omelet. My rice and pernil was solid. The rice could've used a tad bit more seasoning but when mixed with the side of beans and plantains plus a drizzle of hot sauce it was perfect. They had a variety of sauces--Tabasco (my fave), a Jamaican one that was super spicy, and a mild homemade one. The tres/quatro golpes was also a hearty choice with mangu (mashed plantain), sausage, fried cheese, and eggs. The pickled red onion balanced everything out. The fried cheese is similar to a halloumi but I think it's a bit more flavorful. All the flavors just melt together in your mouth perfectly. The French toast and omelet were good. I'd say the Caribbean items stole the show though. The place has a typical diner vibe and is on the small side. Food was served quickly and service was good. Discount if you pay in cash. I will be coming back to try their Cuban!!

Thankfully, the staff let five of us sit and start ordering while we waited for the sixth person to arrive, which I really appreciated. If you're coming with a group, I'd recommend having a few people arrive early so you can get in line while everyone else catches up, especially if someone is running behind. Our server came by quickly to check if we were ready to order, and the food came out fast despite how busy it was. Every meal was done correctly, and they were great about accommodating food restrictions. I ordered the vegan burger, and it was delicious and truly unique. I've never seen anything like it at another restaurant. Additionally, I enjoyed how they were already decorated for Valentine's Day. Maybe a little early but still nice. Overall, a good experience, especially considering how crowded it was.

The vibe is that of a Mexican American diner, and the clientele are all clearly Brooklyn heights locals - some of which have clearly been coming here for decades. It is clearly a IYKYK spot. The menu is huge - pretty much anything you can want from a diner is on it, including a full bar. Also, the service is incredibly helpful and friendly. Even if you don't see something on the menu you can likely order it (within reason). On our first visit, we ordered the carbonara and we were hooked. How can this little spot we skipped over so many times give us such great food? Have we been missing out this whole time? From this first visit, we've ended up coming in many times during all times of day whether that was a late night dinner or hungover breakfast, Grand Canyon just hits the spot. It is not your fanciest meal, but it is comfort personified. While the carbonara is what made me fall in love with Grand Canyon (perfectly creamy and non-skimping on the crunchy bits of bacon), I've also yet to find a pulled pork sandwich as good as the one Grand Canyon puts together. I haven't left disappointed and hope this gem stays in the neighborhood forever. Long live Grand Canyon

Apparently there is more than one location in Manhattan. The inside reminded me of a classic diner. Comfy and with a pretty cool vibe. We all slid into a booth and looked over the seasonal offerings along with their standard menu. I was lured by the chicken Kyiv based on the picture of having two rolled up chicken cutlets stuffed with dill and other yumminess, but was a bit disappointment when it arrived with a single small cutlet on my plate with two heaping mounds of potatoes mash and broccoli. I instantly had regret when I should have gotten the borscht soup with pierogies, but wanted to try something I wouldn't usually. I should've stuck to what was safe. My work mom got the stuffed cabbage and that was a clear homerun- really loved the mushroom gravy that it came with. My other colleague got the potato pancake and wasn't too thrilled with it, while my boss got the two Swedish meatballs that he described to be Ikea worthy. Although this was my first time here, I can't say that anyone really loved the food nor would come out of their way to come back. I really was hoping this would have wow-ed me in some way, but I guess I'll stick to what's familiar.
