We were searching for a good deli in this area but as it was raining hard and we were getting wet and hungry we ducked into this place. I had the pastrami sandwich and my wife had the open face corned beef. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and big portions. This place is not what we would call a diner out in Seattle. More like a 'grill' than anything. Service was decent enough and I thought the prices were reasonable. I see some reviewers clearly don't like this place but I think the Yelp overall rating of 3 1/2 stars is about right. read more

1 Star for the single fact that I didn't see a bug in my food. But cleanliness is obviously not their priority. My girlfriend and I were seated at the back of the restaurant by the fish tank with kids handprints all over it and grease stains covering their stainless steal fixtures next to there LESS THEN clean kitchen, complete with waiters texting. The food was generic; My girlfriend ordered a grilled cheese and fries = greasy. I ordered "The Special" a baked potato stuffed with BBQ pulled pork (I wish) and cheddar cheese (nacho cheese). Overall the place was below par even for a Manhattan diner, in food, presentation, service, and atmosphere. read more

I ordered a menu item via seamless which said baked potato with cheddar cheese and broccoli. When I tasted it I had to spit it out because it burnt my mouth and tasted awful. I called the restaurant and asked them what was wrong. They said they changed the cheese to "spicy" cheese! So change the menu then!! My mouth is burning an hour later. Will not be calling them again. read more

This is a great little place and a perfect spot to refuel during those long waits for the Q-101 back to Queens from a night out in Manhattan. Several tables inside give you a direct view of the bus stop so you can grab your food and head across the street to the bus. The great diner food here almost qualifies it for its own trip from Astoria! The burger menu is very good and the toasted buns just about stand up to their greasy goodness quite well. Ordered medium-rare, it gives you a diner experience not had in a long time. And the double-scoop shakes are great. The atmosphere and staff are quite pleasant and the diner is quite clean and tidy. A must-visit! - Bob the Astorian read more

My roommate & I order from moonstruck via seamless at least once a month. It has to be said I feel like it's a real lucky dip when it comes to them. The milkshakes can either be nice and thick or arrive totally melted and watery. Same with the mac and cheese, it'll either be very creamy, totally burnt or just have no flavor whatsoever. Very strange. For some reason this doesn't deter us though. I guess we need to find a new diner before this mediocre one gets demoted from our diner of choice! read more

Ordered the stuffed baked potato which the menu says comes with broccoli and cheddar cheese. Order came quickly, but the potato was covered in gross, neon yellow nacho cheese liquid and the potato seemed like it was cooked in a microwave. This is a standard diner dish and usually comes at around $6 in most diners (and usually with real cheese!) but this nacho cheese covered microwaved potato came in at $9, way too much for the poor quality. read more

My husband and I have been going to this diner for almost 10 years. I noticed it has recently gone through a transformation. My husband and I went there to have breakfast. I ordered a western omelette with French fries no toast(simple) and my husband ordered scrambled eggs, sausage and French fries no toast. My western omelette was over cooked way passed golden brown. At the end we received the check and to my surprise I couldn't believe they charged for every ingredient in a western omelette seperetly. 2 eggs $9, ham $2, onions $1.50, peppers $1.50 coffee $2.50 I felt like I was being Nickle and dimed. I questioned the waiter isnt there a set price for a western omelette and he looked at me like I was crazy. VERY DISAPPOINTING and needless to say I won't be returning to Moonstruck East 58th street diner again, read more

I ordered from here last week. I requested a Cheeseburger Deluxe, Medium Rare with fries well done. Typically, when you order a Cheeseburger Deluxe from a diner, it's a bundle that includes fries. Not here, they charged me $12 for the Cheeseburger and $4 for the fries. It was cold out, so I gave the delivery guy a nice tip. With tax and tip, my Cheeseburger Deluxe came to over $20. The burger was not that tasty, cold and cooked well done. The fries were also cold, definitely were not cooked well done and soggy. I could have gone to a bar or restaurant that serves a great burger and had an amazing burger for less! I live in the East 20's and diners in my 'hood typically charge $11 for a Cheeseburger Deluxe. Hey, sorry Moonstruck - you are not the 21 Club. I get it, rents in your 'hood are high but selling a product at an exorbitant price and then delivering a cold sub-par product does not escape notice and will only result in less, not more revenue for you! Look around, folks. There are more reasonable and better diners then this. Try the burger at Sutton Cafe, also a little pricey but at least it's a great burger. read more

A few months ago, the owner of the now defunct Hudson Diner in the West Village took over this place. It is now better than ever! Great burgers with fantastic hashbrowns, and breakfast dishes that compliments the great coffee. Also, glad to say at least one of the waiters from the old Hudson Diner is working here too. He's as great as the food. read more

I very rarely write reviews, unless the place is absolutely amazing or absolutely disgusting. I think from the stars you know where this one is going... I never get too crazy in diners, I stick to eggs/omelettes.. who can really mess that up? Well, Moonstruck can. I asked for the potatoes well done & asked specifically if the English muffins were Thomas. He said yes, the small ones. Food comes out. My omelette was so well done it was brown. Like crispy from the grill. Soooo dry. I had to add ketchup to get it down. Potatoes were not well done, but in fact UNDERCOOKED. I'm greedy, so decided to try to eat them anyway. There was something crunchy in them that tasted like sand. I still tried another one because once again, I'm greedy. Same thing! I didn't attempt a third bite. English muffin was the cheap large ones. My spoon was dirty, which I used the handle of to stir my tea (I'm not a complainer). Obviously some people like this place, so find out what day & time they came & order what they got. Best of luck to you. read more

The food is decent but overpriced. I had the swordfish. It was ok. I can't expect too much, considering that it is a diner and Daniel Boulud is not present in the kitchen. The service was good. All in all, I may come back if it's the only place open in the area and I'm starving. read more

The food was decent and the service was okay, but the prices definitely were not worth it. I probably wouldn't come back here until either the service and food are much better or the prices are much lower. read more

The only thing that saved this place from a zero-star rating was a very friendly/helpful waitress at the end of a very frustrating situation. My friends and I ended up here after having no luck in our attempt to find another breakfast joint that was supposed to be in the same area. Upon walking in, we waited about 15 minutes for a table since it's a small place and it was around the breakfast rush (no big deal, we weren't in a hurry). However, what occurred after that was unacceptable. After looking at their extensive menu, I ended ordering a veggie omelet sans cheese with egg whites only (I needed something healthy after three days in NYC). When my omelet arrived, however, it clearly was made with whole eggs. When I brought this up to our waiter, he shrugged it off and walked away (WHAT?!). I quickly called him back and pointed out how the omelet was yellow, not white. He sort of looked at me and then went over to speak with the cook. He came back a few minutes later and said that the cook said it was made with egg whites only. He then went to walk away again! I stopped him, AGAIN, and asked why the omelet was yellow if it only had eggWHITES?! At this point my companions chimed in that it clearly was made with whole eggs. I then asked if I could get it remade (egg white only this time). The waiter said they didn't do that, and WALKED away again!! Needless to say i was frustrated, so I called over a waitress who was passing by. I explained to her the situation... she took one look at the omelet, rolled her eyes, and exclaimed that this happens ALL the time (I think she was venting). She then apologized and took the plate back to the kitchen... when she returned, she said she was having the cook make another one and she put a rush on it (since by then everyone else at my table was finished with their meal). A few minutes later I had a new piping hot omelet in front of me that clearly was made with only egg whites. I was so excited that I dove right in... until about halfway through when I found a three inch black hair (not a pube thank goodness). Needless to say, I immediately pushed my plate away, instantly losing my appetite. Now, I can't say it was done deliberately, but I'm pretty sure it was. I probably should have complained, but by that time I was so over it that I just paid my tab and walked out. Never again!! read more

4am and it's busy. i'm hungry and drunk. perfect place to grub before you head home. good location. easy to find.... i can't remember the rest. the decor, prices, or service. too drunk. but i guess it did the job. because i didn't starve to death. and i'm home yelping. read more

a very clean very nice place to enjoy a diner dinner. the food was very good. the waiter was very nice and made all of the substitutions and changes with a smile. i plan going back here often. this place was awesome read more

Eh. I think that sums up the food and the service. The food was decent, served in generous portions. Service wasn't remarkable, but the food came out quickly and our waiter was friendly. read more

Such an amazing atmosphere, as well as diner experience overall. Servers are very friendly and helpful, service is fast and on-point. Try the french fries and the omelets. Salads are HUGE. read more

Breakfast was horrible. Iced coffee was NOT good. I got eggs Benedict that had a whole block of feta cheese in it and gigantic spinach that was not chopped so it was huge and stringy. English muffin was so soggy before I could even get into my plate, potatoes would have been good if they were fully cooked, but they were not. Cute name horrible food. Waitress was good though. Really disappointing. read more

Hate to do this because I really like their food. But I used the delivery service that they prefer you to use rather than Seamless (orders.9fold.me) -- don't use that one. After an hour, I called the restaurant to find out where my food was. The guy told me it just came over . . . wait for it . . . the fax machine. Really!!?? I order online so they can send it to the restaurant via FAX MACHINE!!?? Very disappointing - the guy who answered the phone told me I should call his boss in the morning. Maybe he'll get the email I sent him. Won't use 9fold again. Not worth waiting - 75 minutes now. read more

ZERO stars for this establishment. After searching forever for a place that could satisfy my afternoon eggs benedict craving, i landed at Moonstruck. Once I walked in, I noticed an unpleasant odor (think raid/rodent repellent). Unfortunately I suppressed my gut instinct which told me to flee and instead placed my order. As expected, my gut was right and the food was terrible - the eggs Benedict that id dreamed of all morning would've been tastier if it were cardboard. And to top things off, they refused to accept my 20% off Yelp coupon. When the waiter asked the manager to come speak with us, we could hear him screaming in the back that he would not come out. We were the only patrons in there at the time. Terrible food, service, atmosphere. Avoid at all cost! read more

We wondered why all the places nearby were jammed and there was nobody at the Moonstruck. Sadly, we found out. We placed our order and 30 minutes later it had not arrived.. Others who came in after were getting their food. 40 minutes later, still no food. Finally, we left. BEWARE!! read more

The fries were the only thing eaten of the three orders and they were good. After crap service and salmon burgers so bland and sloppy they were inedible, I requested the check and was still waiting ten minutes later while our server chatted away in the kitchen which was visible from our table. you might think he was in there putting in an order for one of the many waiting patrons...but you would be wrong. No one was waiting for service and only one other table was occupied. So I chose NOT to leave a TIP (not usual behavior for eat in service but I work hard for every $). When I came out of the restroom THE SERVER was standing there waiting to tell me that SERVICE IS NOT A PART OF THE BILL! I said excuse me and he repeated that SERVICE IS NOT A PART OF THE BILL. My ? was do you mean the tip is not a part of the bill, he said yes and I asked, but is a tip mandatory? He said NO. So... here's the real question, what kind of management is in place that would allow a representative of the business to think it is ok to harass a patron for NOT leaving a Tip for BAD service after paying the full bill for the food ordered? read more

Okay, so now I'm going on three weeks here in the city and moonstruck is 1/2 a block from my door: I have to eat there sometimes. But, lo and behold this past visit (two days ago) for a late breakfast at 11:30 AM was flawless--if such a word ever applied to a diner. In truth, compared to what I've experienced thus far, almost anything would be flawless here, but to be honest, there wasn't a hitch, and i suppose, based on the standards I've been experiencing thus far throughout the city, that's par for the course. This time we had a new, fresh-faced waiter who was attentive, polite, and only needed to be asked to refill our drinks a couple of times and to take our money, outside of that, what do you expect? I had my infamous cheese omelette and it actually had meted cheese inside this time, not under the eggs and on top of the plate! The potatoes were fine, and the toast was perfect. I do not like the sausage here. It is deep fried I think and from some creature or cut I am unaware of, and while it is uniform and always perfect in size and texture, it has no flavor. Makes me thinks of Soylent Green! Our Polish friend now looks at me with suspicion. I blew it there but perhaps she'll come around. The short waiter with the rooster hairdo and I have been bonding over women's soccer. He's not a bad chap. All in all a visit that went without incident, which is much needed as we were counting on this place to be a staple for us. read more

Ok food. Friendly service. A bit pricey for a diner but what would you expect in midtown Manhattan? Like that it's the clasdic diner railroad car size. We did not feel rushed. read more

the food is alright. but the service is so attentive. and i love how fast everything came out. great night to end your night!

Solid, New York diner food with great prices (for manhattan). My go to menu item was the Reuben Deluxe. It's absolutely enormous, greasy, and delicious. This is also one of those few restaurants that does french fries correctly. The really crunchy ones with the lattice like layer surrounding the potato. Delivery was just as good, as eating in. They do what they do well! read more

Came in for brunch around 11:20 on Sunday. We stood at the front for about 15 minutes, and were constantly jostled by employees - they did not acknowledge us ONCE. Not even a "hi we'll be with you in a minute" or a "please wait" just a small "excuse me" as they pushed past us. I'm glad we didn't even stay to eat if this is the service they provide. read more

Strange place ordering late breakfast ... Wanted side of scrambled eggs and a plain hamburger patty... All of which they have but they couldn't do any sides I would have to pay for scrambled eggs which comes with home fries and toast and a hamburger which comes with a bun lettuce tomato and fries... Sooo... Not a typical neighborhood diner read more

HORRIBLE delivery service and customer service. Ordered a soup and sandwich online. The soup was the wrong type when I called back they were so RUDE and yelling at me when they were the ones who sent the wrong order. After an hour I still never received the soup. I also should mention I live three blocks from the restaurant. Needless to say I will NEVER be ordering from here again! read more

Had a good experience. I got the breakfast wrap which tasted very great and a good portion for what you pay. Good service as well. Will be a returning customer! read more

I went here the other night and was not terribly impressed with the food, the staff was nice and the waiters offered pleasant service. I only suggest this place to you if you are very hungry and have no other options. read more

Very good standard fare, if you're in the neighborhood. No wait, tasty omelettes, pancakes. It's not gourmet but it's certainly enjoyable.

The worst experience I ever had in a restaurant. I was passing by with a friend and wanted to have coffee and desserts in there newly advertised section. We waited a good 5 minutes for someone to give us a seat in a completely empty area. They did not have most of the items on the menu, when we finally got the order through another waiter comes by to see what we ordered. After getting a really bad espresso my friend accidentaly spilled his, the waiter notices comes and hands my friend 2 napkins and walks away. I have never seen that kind of reaction from a waiter so I asked why would he just hand a costumer a napkin and not make the attempt to help clean the area. He answers " if you don't like it, leave" we asked to speak to a manager and were told by the cashier that there is no manager here. Not only that i would never step foot in this place again but i would suggest to everyone to stay away from this place. Since I live nearby I used to occasionaly stop by for breakfast or lunch, but I stopped going when I had seen the Grade D rating from the city, recently they improved to B rating but the get a solid " F " for service. read more

This place has consistently gone downhill since I moved to this neighborhood. It's been closed by the health dept. at least once in the past couple of years and I'm now giving it a last review. I'm not coming back. It smells bad. The waitress is slow and rude. The food is sub-par with battered French fries which are bad. Goodbye moonstruck. I'm not coming back. read more

Very nice and clean. I live in the neighborhood and go a lot. Always fast service and good food especially the chicken souvlaki deluxe. Staff has always been friendly too. Been a New Yorker for 16 years and this is one of the better diners. read more

Decent food, lots of coffee and attentive service! My friend and I found it on our way to Central Park and it was just what we needed!

Food here is okay, although it is super-greasy and tends to come out cold. Prices are astronomical -- Tramway Diner and the diner a few blocks south are much better bets for food, price and service. This place nickles and dimes you on the tax added to prices. When asked to show me how they calculate tax, the obnoxious old man behind the register refused to use a calculator and told me it was all in his head. He then threatened to call the police (called his bluff) and asked to "take this outside". All because he refused to use a calculator! I've seen him in arguments with other customers before. Completely insane! Frequent a business who appreciates customers and doesn't rip you off for a dime. Moon-sucks. read more

The worst!!! Ordered a delivery and waited an hour but nothing was delivered!! Called the diner and was told that the food was on the way so I waited 30 more min!! Ended up calling the diner to cancel and was told to deal with seamless directly!! Have been on hold with seamless for about 15 min now!! So a simple lunch delivery order turned into 2.5 hour saga!! Thanks for the terrible experience, Moonstruck staff!! read more
