    Great place with small parking lot in the back. All the workers are super friendly and the food is fresh

    There's not much open after 10PM in this queens area so we walked into this diner. And honestly I have nothing bad to say it's a basic diner with basic diner food. And I ordered straight carbs which are hard to mess up. The whipped cream definitely was what made the French toast good. The strawberries weren't very sweet but I guess what can ya do. The French toast itself was very soft which I liked my friend said it could've used more structure. Sweet potato fries were good maybe a tad overdone but nevertheless fine. Maybe could've used a bit more salt but with the sauces provided they were good. That being said the service was great! Our waitress was super friendly and recommended me what sauces to try with my fries. I will say my friends that got meals with meat seemed to say that they were lackluster at best.

    Came here with friends around eleven in the morning and had a wonderful experience. :-) Very nice on the inside, service was frequent and the staff was very friendly. The food was amazing and I enjoyed their chicken the most and they provided super good sauces. Overall, super fun!!!

    Came recently to try a few things on the menu with a friend. I have always wondered about this spot because it is the CUTEST diner ever. I am team diners and have always been team diners since I feel like its a dying business in the city. We need more of them and for them to stay. Especially since the prices here were fairly affordable and the staff was super friendly. They had some kind of a prix fixe deal going on so we started off with some salad and calamari. Both were pretty standard but tasty. For our mains we split a lobster carbonara ravioli and a steak. HIGHLY recommend the carbonara anything. That sauce is divine. The steak was pretty good. I feel like it could have used more seasoning but also I'm the one eating steak at a diner. Their sandwiches are bomb. Their chocolate cake is delightful. Although, fair warning that it's a mix between like chocolate, maybe lemon and vanilla with birthday sprinkles and syrup all over it. It's a party in your mouth. They also have a full bar and make cocktails and have wine, which I'm totally on board with. Gustavo is a peach and makes the best cocktails in town.

    I must have passed this diner a thousand times but have never eaten here for whatever reason. I think they've added another part for seating in there parking lot so there are less spots to park but there is street parking and metered parking all in the area. Typical diner set which is a great thing. Counter seating, booths, and tables. I ordered breakfast and there were some burgers at the table. No complaints on the food and the service was good. I'm not sure if they are still 24 hours but good option for a quick bite.

So much so that I just turned it into a goal of mine that the day I move out of this apartment is the day I go to this diner as a farewell to the memories. That day arrived and let me tell you this experience was everything I couldve wanted and more. First off, the food here was ABSOLUTE GAS. I allowed myself to go full force and EATTTTT. Started with nachos and mozzarella sticks. Nachos were loaded to the brim and the chips stayed crispy even the ones on bottom. Mozza sticks had amazing cheese pulls. For the main, got the Chorizo Burger with Waffle Fries and a Chocolate Egg Cream to drink. Burger was gargantuan, like you literally cannot eat it with your hands you need fork and knife, seasoned perfectly, toppings were stellar, fries were super crispy. Incredible. First time having an egg cream and it was so interesting. To finish off I had an oreo shake which was the perfect consistency and so delicious. And then right at the end the brought a FREE piece of Baklava WOW. Service here was awesome, never felt rushed, attentive waiters, allowed me to move to the larger booths mid meal just to be more comfortable. And the music here is literally like they took my playlist off my phone. A shame I only visited here on my LAST day on the UES but I WILL be back nevertheless. So happy with this meal.

    When ordering take out, every sandwich topping costs an additional $1-$3. That would maybe be…read moreunderstandable if they actually gave me the additions that I paid for. While we are on the topic of price, why does this place have to be THIS expensive? I get that it is on the UES and I understand that everything costs a ton these days but $27 for a tuna sandwich and waffle fries with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese seems ridiculous to me. Let's not forget that no lettuce or tomato were given. The food itself is probably a 4? and the staff seem nice and friendly. But fix your prices or don't call yourself a diner...

Green Kitchen is a cozy neighborhood diner with one of the prettiest outdoor setups I've seen. The entire corner entrance is covered in colorful flowers, and the wraparound patio makes it feel more like a garden café than a diner. They even have covered seating along the side street, which kept us cool while giving me an excellent vantage point to supervise pedestrians, squirrels, and anyone carrying bacon. I settled onto my cooling mat under the table and got comfortable while Mom and Dad ordered. Mom had the Short Rib Tacos with a Diet Coke. She declared them delicious. Dad went with the classic scrambled eggs and bacon. Guess which meal looked easier to "accidentally" share with the dog? Neither. Apparently both plates were under strict human protection. There isn't a dog menu, and no water bowl was offered, but the staff was friendly, the patio was spacious and comfortable, and the atmosphere made it an easy place to relax for a long brunch. Dogba's Verdict Beautiful flower-covered entrance? Large covered outdoor patio? Elite people-watching opportunities? Cool enough for a summer brunch? Dog water bowl? Taco samples for the dog? Also no. 4 paws out of 5. I'd happily return... but next time I'd like to negotiate at least one short rib taco as part of my appearance fee.

    My wife has always liked Cafe Luka. When we first came back to NYC over a decade ago, it was a…read moresolid breakfast spot and a nice dinner option. Portions were good and prices were higher than average but within reach. We returned yesterday for an early dinner and while the food was good and service decent, the portions and pricing have gotten out of hand. I had a pizza burger and fries for $21. No, really. It was a tasty burger but not Minetta Tavern good. My wife had a choice to make, get the spinach pie appetizer for $17 or the entree version for $27. The extra $10? Got us a salad and I am guessing a larger portion of pie. That's it...for $10 more. I remember when they would provide salad, soup, potatoes, veggies, bread, and even a dessert, for much less. The waiter did bring two pickle spears and tiny cups of cole slaw to be fair. We had water, no dessert or apps, and spent $55 for a meal that should have cost $30, maybe $35. So, you get the extra $20 this visit but you lost future visits, seems like a risky move. This is not the only spot on the neighborhood that has gone off the rails with their menu pricing management and I realize costs around labor, ingredients, utilities, etc have all gone up. Problem is, the customers pocket is only so deep and it's becoming unsustainable to continue to push the majority of the expenses onto your menu for others to subsidize. So, we didn't have a "bad" experience but walked away feeling taken advantage of in what we received for the money. Now my wife is no longer going to push for this spot in the future and we will give others a try.

With its signature green-and-white checkered tablecloths, dark wood panels, watermelon-themed artwork, and strict cash-only policy, the pub offers a timeless, no-frills neighborhood atmosphere. Over the decades, it has amassed significant accolades--frequently named among the Best Burgers in NYC by Eater, The Infatuation, and New York Magazine, famously cited by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as serving "the best hamburger in the world," and praised by Anthony Bourdain as an essential New York institution. Using their exact menu terminology, here is how the food breaks down: Bacon Cheeseburger: Their iconic, thick beef patty broiled to order and served on a toasted bun with melted American cheese and crispy bacon, accompanied on the side by raw red onions and thick-cut pickle chips. Chili: Served by the cup or bowl, this rich, comforting house-made beef chili comes topped with chopped raw onions and melted American cheese--a classic, warm opener that pairs perfectly with an order of their signature Cottage Fried Potatoes. Service is fast, efficient, and classic old-school New York. Between the cold beers on tap, award-winning burgers, and nostalgic saloon vibe, J.G. Melon remains an essential Manhattan stop.
