Quick, friendly service. Food was great. Pancakes were huge! Corn beef hash was yummy. Great place for breakfast near Times Square.

This diner was just a few blocks from our hotel. We arrived early Friday morning and were seated right way. The restaurant is very small so during busy times I could imagine there being a wait. Service is verrrrry fast! It seemed like our order was ready within 5 mins of ordering. The portion sizes are ginormous. I can imagine a lot of food goes to waste simply because it's difficult to consume it all. Omelette and latte were delish! Pancake was average and hash browns were just okay. Overall it was a pretty good food experience. read more

Times Square Diner - Special menu item - Nutella and strawberry pancakes - April 2026 - American Near Me - New York, New York

It was overpriced but good enough. That's pretty indicative of New York in general. I just ordered a burger and fry and I have to say that I did enjoy it. The ambiance was very traditional American diner. It was more tightly packed than say somewhere in Atlanta or out west but this is NYC and space comes at a premium so it's normal. read more

In town for a few days, visiting New York City! Decided to walk to breakfast from our hotel. Came across the Times Square diner! Very cool inside with an almost subway like look. I had a beef Gyro and fries, and my husband had the regular breakfast of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Both meals were very large portions.!! I had so many fries I couldn't even eat half of them! The beef gyro was very good with large pieces of steak! Since the steak was so large, I actually needed to order a little extra tzatziki sauce to make sure it was all covered. Very tasty!! Our server Alex was great and every employee was accommodating. If they saw you had an empty plate on your table, they removed it immediately. They continually got us extra coffee and diet Pepsi Without ever having to ask for it. Couldn't ask for better service! And everyone was so polite . Highly recommend it! read more

New York diners are the best and we rarely miss an opportunity to stop at one. We were in town for a conference and came here for breakfast. We sat at the bar and service was very good.

Cute little diner with excellent, fast service. Stopped in for bite after seeing a show late on Sunday evening. Seated quickly, visited by waitstaff quickly. Most impressive was how fast the food came. Hot & delicious! Some got breakfast, some dinner, some just got apps or soup. Everyone was pleased with their meal and we were in & out under an hour. Which was perfect because we had a long ride home. Definitely reccomend if you're seeking a quick bite. read more

was very slow service, & didn't act like they really wanted us to be there. waited a long time to be able to pay & leave. the atmosphere felt very dull & almost tense like my partner said the mozzarella sticks were okay, nothing exciting, but the wings he got were exquisite the strawberry french toast was stuffed with walnuts & cream - which comes as is - so sadly was unable to eat it, & the strawberries tasted like they were out of season. besides the bread, which was okay. the scrambled eggs were decent, but nothing exciting read more

Excellent customer service, nice seating, food came fast and was excellent. I ordered the California omelette w/ home fries. Also a small cup of salsa roja. The omelette ingredients were extremely fresh. Everything came together beautifully. The home fries were seasoned and fried perfectly. Came with toast but I didn't need it. Salsa roja is SPICY. It complimented my omelette. No wait time. Definitely would return. read more

Initial reaction was positive. Decor and ambiance was nice. Took a while for me for the waiter to get to me. Was quite empty when I got here which kind of took me by surprise. I got their two eggs with sausage order and was very surprised at how expensive it was. Even just a cup of coffee was almost $5.00. Maybe it's because of the location, but those kind of prices are ridiculous. As far as the food itself, it took A WHILE to get here. Like for real - 2 eggs and sausage homefries and tshouldn't take that long read more

Quick service? Yes Friendly staff? Yes Good vibe? Yea Seasoned food? Heck no!!! Ok so being from the south- we know some good food. This place simply did not have it. It's quick and easy to order and get your food but have they ever heard of salt and pepper? You ever go somewhere and you can tell the chef took time to prepare the meal and gave it some.....lovin. This place just missed it, totally. It's affordable and quick but it is nasty. No other way to put it. read more

We're looking for a spot in theater district between shows and this place was perfect. No wait on a Saturday early evening. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Narrow space with warm walls and decorations. About a dozen tables and seating at the bar. Chicken Cesar wrap was large and flavorful. Fry servings are large and Cajun fries have a nice amount of spice/heat. Carrot cake is more of a carrot loaf split and filled with frosting and whipped cream on the side. Very yummy! Moderately priced for NYC. read more

Came in here because they had a TV by the bar. Why is it so hard to find a bar with a TV on 8th Ave. Wanted to get a burger and watch the Knicks while i waited my family at a show. What luck !!! Forget the burger. I Got the bacon wrapped meatloaf instead. So delicious. Got the matzo ball soup and the mac n cheese. The mac n cheese was fantastically baked. I'm sure the burger was also good but i will put a pin in this place if i need to come back to this area. Staff extremely friendly. Constant flow of NYPD coming in to get a hot chocolate dessert. It's below 30 today. You know you can trust them if they frequent the place. Price is good for this area. Steady flow of tourists but also filled with neighborhood regulars. read more

I ordered the beer gyro and it was delicious. The fries came on the sandwich but I took them off and ate them separately. Yummy fries! The waiter always kept our water cups full and our food came out pretty quickly. The restaurant and bathrooms were both clean. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is I found a hair on my plate. Luckily it wasn't touching any of my food, but that was quite unappetizing to spot. read more

Breakfast at this place is a fulfilling experience! Ordered eggs Benedict with spicy chorizo and scrambled eggs turkey bacon and hash. All was cooked and seasoned well. Servers were very attentive. The decore is nicer than the photos on line. I guess it's been remodeled. Definitely looks nicer. This diner was in walking distance from our hotel. Will definitely have breakfast again!! read more

Our go-to comfort food, literally at-home place. Especially these cold days! Are usually: chicken soup (divine - love the long noodles in it); turkey club (I have to break it apart). Recently with out-of-town guests visiting, we made our usual order from here, plus a BLT, tuna salad wrap, and sweet potato fries. Our guests couldn't ask for a more "NYC meal experience " (their words). The delivery via GrubHub is amazingly fast. We look forward to an in-person visit - to comment on the ambiance, but, from the gallery, it looks NYC-perfect. read more

If you're already out and about needing a place to refuel while you're in the area, then it's fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way. The service was quick and friendly. I had the steak sandwich. It was good, but my fries were bland and way over cooked. I definitely overpaid for the quality of my meal. read more

Was in in the mood for a steak without spending too much or eating too much with trying to get LDL down so ordered for delivery their hanger steak. It was a delicious and very tender piece of meat cooked just right ; ample enough, with excellent sides for a price that most UES joints would charge double for. The chicken noodle soup that came with it was as good as any Jewish deli soup in the neighborhood. read more

Went while hubs waited in line for tickets at the discount hub. I was in line when the host/mgr came outside to see if I was alone. (I had my little dog). She ushered me over to the bar. A warm cup of coffee in a great little space. A small breakfast, then off to the bustling city read more

This is my all-time favorite diner. The place is always packed but they do an amazing job of just getting orders and food out very quickly. The food is so good and in large quantities. I always order a grilled cheese and Cajun fries. I was here this week and I was able to order and get my food within 10 mins of sitting down (which I always appreciate when hungry) Although I don't live in Manhattan anymore, I make this a stop whenever I'm in town. read more

I had high hopes about this place, but was a bit disappointed. Our server was great and the inside was cute, but the food was just meh. My daughter ordered a toasted croissant and said it was ok.

I was looking for a greasy spoon. Technically Times Square Diner is that but really it is, as others have mentioned, a tourist trap joint; it exists because of the demand to service tourists and not much more. Everything here is standard issue slop. Don't expect anything crazy out of your eggs, bacon, and toast. You probably don't want to visit after breakfast as you happen to be in one of the best places on Earth for food so why would you do that to yourself? And you definitely do not want to come here for the vibe because there is nothing of the sort present. This is a place to go if every other place is busy and you really need a quick breakfast bite to eat with some coffee. Functional, fine, and completely forgettable. read more

I came here for breakfast based on the reviews, but ended up walking out shortly after sitting down. The staff was rude and the service was poor, and it wasn't just my table--other guests were being treated the same way. I was looking forward to trying the pancakes, but there's no excuse for rude service, especially on a cold, rainy, snowy day read more
