Very nice Atmosphere! Delicious food and great service! Place to visit in NY
Egg cream is fantastic, especially coffee or chocolate , which favors the proprietor does himself. Burger w/fried eggs , bacon & mushrooms can't be beat... as the atmosphere in this 100yr old joint...
Old school diner , amazing egg cream and homemade soda . Tuna melt and butter cheeseburger were tasty. Would come back again to try other things on the menu
Get the French toast with maple syrup – it's delicious. If you're with a friend split one serving so it doesn't go cold, you get a lot of food on your plate.
Continually operated by the same family (its last renovation was in 1948), it's a place to enjoy no-nonsense classics such as chopped egg or liverwurst sandwiches and the stellar ice cream fountain .
The french toast with a side of sausage was so delicious. The coffee is also excellent. Love the vintage feel.
One the last spots in NYC to make coke with syrup (maybe the last). You want to try that although it might be very sweet for you. The French toast was surprisingly good.
The omelette was excellent! Tasty chocolate as well , not too crowded , great diner ! Servers are really nice and helpful!
Muy buen lugar, al viejo estilo americano , huevos y pancakes deliciosos/such a good place, old fashion American way, the scrambled eggs and the pancakes were delicious.
Classic Strawberry . Blending Bassetts Ice Cream of Philadelphia’s classic vanilla , chocolate , strawberry , and coffee shakes since 1925. You'll feel like you've been transported to a soda fountain . Read more
Travel 100 years back in time. Iconic home to NYC’s best egg cream , serving breakfast & lunch all day. Opened by Albanian immigrant Soterios Philis in 1925, still operated by his descendants.
Greatest lemonade you will ever taste. Same goes for the club sandwich . Wonderful, nostalgic vibe, and the owner is very friendly if you strike up a conversation.
I had the pancakes here for breakfast this morning, they were some of the best I have ever had! The waitress was really nice and helpful and the place was welcoming!
The eggs were phenomenal. By far and away the best diner eggs I’ve ever had. The secret, I think, is an absurd amount of butter.
Root beer float,THE Shake are classic. Shakes are big! It is a Time Machine!
Get the egg cream . Has no egg , no cream. All delicious.
Grilled cheese does not disappoint. Try their new local hot sauce alternative Pop Sauce on your sandwich !
Definitely worth the wait for a classic float or other fountain drink but food items seem overpriced.
Arnold Palmer is freshly made & delicious! Perfect with bacon cheddar burger or club sandwich made as you order right behind the counter. Yum!
100 year old vibe that's authentic without trying. Great noodle soup , french toast , egg cream , and many classic diner staples. Old freshly made , old style.
French Toast was delicious, and generous portions as well . Wait staff is kind, quick, and attentive.
I used to come here for milkshakes , now I’m off sugar and I still come here because it’s just a super cute spot for dates.
Just nice to grab a cup of coffee , listen to the old tunes and hang out!
The last american breakfast bar near the Met. Make a stop on the museum Hill .
Delicious French toast in a classic diner . Extensive menu but pricey . Cash only tipping.
Old style dinner , French toast is really good
This old-fashioned shop will give you a blast from the past. Try the Classic Strawberry shake . Read more
Great chocolate malt but kind of pricey at $8 with tax.
Coffee malted milkshake . Fresh squeezed lemonade with sugar syrup . Shrimp salad sandwich . Ginger soda with vanilla ice cream . For the truly brave? The jelly omelet .
Get the walnut cinnamon raisin french toast and don't forget the pure maple syrup !
Very authentic NY Diner with yummy pancakes with crispy edges.
The sandwiches are fantastic and the milkshake is superb.
The line moves quickly, and the food is decent but be aware that prices are not affordable , even by NYC standards.
Best pancakes in the entire world.
Best French toast with pure maple syrup ! Also the orangeade is delicious.
The milkshake . They make their own syrups and they're delicious.
Order a chocolate egg cream soda - the best in the city . This iconic institution has the oldest soda jerk in NYC. Oh, the chocolate malt shake is another must try.
Rated #5 on USA Today's "America's Best Milkshake". Try the classic strawberry .
Old school diner . Expensive but the food is on point.
Amazing pancakes and fresh orange juice
Ask for an authentic NYC egg cream .
Ask for Coca-cola & Ice cream .
Delicious, but beware. Tips in cash only . After not mentioning this, they claimed they're "not good at" the credit machine and won't void to add it. Sooo no tip for my waitress . Your loss friends.
The blueberry pancakes are delicious
Scrambled Eggs w/Turkey Sausage .
I love this diner , a real American experience if your English. Pancakes and french toast are a must try.
They have the ceiling price from years ago on the wall's. A Root Beer Float .35 cents!! Bacon & Egg .45 cents!!...
Coke with ice cream made the old fashioned way
Real soda fountain !! Taste Coke like it USED to be! Home-made coffee syrup and more! Don't skip this classic place.
