Mmmm, I enjoyed this tuna melt sandwich
Reva R.

I've been here several times for breakfast-I've enjoyed scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast. Always good. Service is always nice and helpful. Today, I felt like having a tuna melt for lunch. (Tuna, melted American cheese, on rye toast) It was brought to the table open-faced, but when I combined the top and bottom it was more like the height of the sandwich I had pictured in my mind. LOL. and it was very good. It came with a terrific sour pickle half, and a small portion of Cole slaw. A satisfying meal. I'll update again whenever I try something else from the menu. But, I like the Murray Hill Diner. I do recommend it. There are no stairs upon entry/exit, but if you need to use the rest room there is one or two steps up/down. Same floor as tables. Clean rest room.

Stopped by Murray Hill Diner for breakfast and left with mixed feelings. I had scrambled eggs with two sausages and home fries. The food was fine--nothing spectacular--just the kind of breakfast you'd expect from any standard diner. Service was decent overall, and the food came out fast. Coffee refills were on point, which I appreciated. However, I did ask for my home fries well done, and the server mentioned the cooks are busy and usually make it one way--but he'd ask. Spoiler: they came out just the regular way, not crispy at all. A small thing, but annoying nonetheless. The space itself felt a bit cramped, which made the experience less comfortable. In the end, it's a decent enough spot if you're nearby and need a quick bite, but there's nothing here that would make me go out of my way to come back.

Classic NY diner. We went for a filling breakfast before exploring the city, and we were not disappointed. The pancakes, omelette, and hash browns were HUGE and delicious. The coffee came in a stereotypical cup with a thick rim. Service was great until it was time to get our bill, our server was hard to find at that point. No big deal. A good crowd, but we were seated right away and our food came reasonably quickly.

This was the bill I received for a BLT and ice coffee. I left a. $5.00 tip .

On the walk in not as welcoming and or as diverse as I be would think. I am going this establishment one star as I was not welcomed on the walk in. I said good morning and heard nothing in return. I say this because of course I sit at the counter and observe while I wait for my food and observe all WP walk in the establishment be greeted walking in and when they approached the counter to order their food. This is not new to be but I will say it is definitely not acceptable. I ordered my food in addition to an iced coffee that was ok. I left a $5.00 tip to the waiter behind the counter because once she saw I spoke Spanish her entire demeanor started to change. Again, not something I am not use to, it's just not an experience I forget when I am in the area and want to order food. I will say this to the owner. Downtown is not just for one specific race or gender. Anyone who comes through your door came through and is intentional about patronizing your business. Please train your staff to treat everyone the same. You never know who you are in the company of!!! You could be entertaining an angel who will bless you. People see you before they hear you treat everyone equally!!!

This small yet cozy diner offers what you would expect in a typical American diner. Our brunch food was great. The service could have been better. To their defense, it was a busy mid morning. We enjoyed our black coffee and the eggs were cooked just like we like them.

blue cheese and vegetable omelette

I ate here for a quick brunch around peak time, 12pm on a Saturday. For a group of 2, we were seated immediately at a booth. The restaurant was busy but they served us quickly. The omelette was tasty, and I ate half at the restaurant and took the other half to go. However, when I ate the omelette later I found eggshells in the omelette which made me lose my appetite to finish it. Probably wouldn't specifically choose this place again, but if I need a spot for a quick brunch I would consider trying something else on the menu.

Egg sandwich

Ordered an egg and cheese on a roll here and it hit the spot! I really appreciated how the egg wasn't overcooked and how soft and warm the roll was. Looking forward to ordering from here again!

Chicken fingers and fries
Esther G.

Solid neighborhood diner! I needed something that wouldn't be terrible for me digest as I had just come from having a procedure done and ended up getting the avocado toast with soft poached eggs. The eggs were not runny, but I didn't mind. It had a ton of avocado, tomato and onions and I even appreciated how they cut off the tip of the toast! My partner had chicken fingers and fries. They were more like big chicken cutlets! Nicely fried, fries were hot. My partner also got a chocolate milkshake that was pretty well made. The portions were huge, service was friendly and prompt. Would come again!

2 eggs over easy with bacon and pancakes
Meredith R.

A go-to local eatery that's reliably good. The beauty of a diner is the availability of almost any kind of food, regardless of time of day. This falls into play for me at breakfast. I'm not often in the mood for eggs, unlike T who's up for eggs any time, any day. So I ordered chicken salad on toasted white (a bread I rarely want) with lettuce and tomato. My husband ate what one would consider a traditional American breakfast. I remembered that Murray Hill does a particularly good job with pancakes. Service was good, coffee refills kept coming, and we left nicely fueled ready to start our day.

Had reservations for 2 on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. We got there about three…read moreminutes late, but they seated us within 5 minutes in a booth. It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

Love the look of Friedman's. Nice dining room that they pack in comfortably. Came for an early…read morebreakfast and the dining room filled so fast that I was happy we got there early before the rush. I got myself delicious sunny side up eggs with the pastrami hash. I was impressed by the chunks of pastrami throughout. Very hearty and very delicious! My husband indulged in the Nova Benedict. They packed on the lox. He didn't even finish but found it amazingly delicious. Service was okay. Nothing too spectacular. I almost felt an inconvenience to the server but we didn't have a fussy order nor was it busy (we ordered before the rush). Maybe she was preparing for the rush. Lol either way, it wouldn't stop me from returning.
