Restaurant is cool but a bit small but mirrors make interior much more spacious. We ordered hummus plate and avocado kale salad for starter for 4 of us. Hummus was delicious but nothing much to dip with. Salad was ok. Then we had 15 bites hotdogs, steak fries, bacon deluxe burger. Hotdogs were good. I asked medium cooked for burger but it was a bit dry and taste regular, nothing so special about it. Then we want refills for our beer but it took almost 20 minutes. In general service was slow food was ok. Very touristic but you should give it a try.

Brooklyn Diner serve carved pastrami sandwiches. Never had thick pastrami and it was delicious! Brooklyn Diners pastrami is so flavorful and moist. Added bonus was the full bar.

Was strolling by while looking for a spot to eat and saw all the lights and liked the way the diner looked. Walked in and immediately was seated. Waited a few minutes for the waiter to come by, but it wasn’t an extensive wait. Waiter was pleasant and helpful. Food came out relatively quick. Food tasted good. I had the waffle pastrami which was good. Could have needed a little more seasoning, which I was kinda surprised cuz the pastrami is supposed to be their staple. My friend ordered the chicken tacos and oyster mushrooms. Both were very good and flavored nicely. Drinks seemed to be priced per order which I thought was odd. I had ice tea and my friend had lemonade so when we were never offered refills we figured it was per drink. Overall, nice place to stop in for a quick and decent meal.

An unexpected treat in Times Square!! Wonderful spot with impeccable service and excellent food. Fresh squeezed OJ, endless coffee, the french toast and the waffle were fabulous and REAL maple syrup as part of the meal. Could not have been happier!!!

Gives the experience of both fine dining and being at a diner. Liked the quality and quantity of the burger and the fries provided with it. Would recommend to try the cheesecake as well.

Clean, excellent service and the food was great! I was meeting a friend at the Brooklyn Diner for lunch. I arrived first and after sitting down the manager promptly poured me a glass of water. When I asked for a coke the server immediately brought it to the table (her service was great). When my friend showed up we ordered and I got a delicious bacon cheese burger. I would highly recommend this place. Prices are reasonable for NYC Time Square.

Food is good. However the $$ is overpriced!. I can have same two eggs with toasted bread and polenta for less than $10 in Staten Island.My order cost what you see here is about $30 plus tips. Very expensive!

Um
Review №9

TERRIBLE, avoid at all costs. Took THIRTY whole minutes for my waffle and egg to come, and on top of that they got the order wrong. It’s tourist central, so it’s expensive but definitely NOT worth it— MUCH better places to get diner food from.

Bens was a phenomenal server! He made me an excellent Grand Marnier-based cocktail and the food was reasonably priced and top quality! We would love to come back again before our trip ends!

Review №11

Coffee very good and waitress staff very nice. Unfortunately they were very understaffed and service was quite poor. We did not receive our entire order and no refill of coffee offered. Menu was limited; It appears they are catering to the gourmet lover— not me in full transparency! Although the presentation was nice, quality & flavor is well below average.

The 4 entertainers were excellent! They come from major Broadway Musicals, Kinky Boots, Jersey Boys, to name a few. They perform at the Brooklyn Diner twice a week. I highly recommend going for dinner and the show.

Let me declare that this is my first time dining in this place. Now to the review at hand. The place has a nice fancy feel to it which made me all warm and cozy. There were two friendly staff members who helped accommodate my needs with flying colors: Evan the manager and Tonia the server. I asked for a recommendation and went with the old-fashioned double bacon burger with fries. True to their word, it was delicious and not to mention really big on my hands. The best part is that they always check on me from time to time to see if I was okay or needed anything else. I felt valued and I really appreciate their efforts. Their prices were decent but it is Manhattan after all. When I do have the chance again, Ill stop by to say hi or have coffee. I definitely will recommend this place. Thank you.

Review №17

Our food was very expensive and I don’t think it was worth the price. It tasted good, but the portion sizes were so small. I got chicken tacos and the menu said it came with tortilla chips, but it literally came with 3 chips. It was kind of funny, but not worth the money we paid. However, the staff was very friendly & enjoyable to be around!

Been a few times now, and it never disappoints. Great for breakfast. For me, either the Pastrami Hash or Marriage of Irving and Gina are excellent, but lots of other options. Also great cheesecake - call in for a drink and a slice. John, our server on the last visit was brilliant.

Decent food, good service, classic ambience of an American diner. The Buffalo wings with blue cheese dip was the highlight of the meal, although the rest of the mains were served in generous portions. Will be a meal that one really have little complaints about. Will definitely return.

Fancied a burger, so decided to pop into the Brooklyn diner. What a great choice we made. Very helpful waiter took our order and offered some advice on the burgers. Just the right size for us, with some very tasty fries. Managed to walk in and get a table even on a Friday night although it was very busy. Well worth a visit here and we would thoroughly recommend.

Review №32

Overpriced.Understaffed, and the stress of the manager was palpable.2.5 hours to get 2 eggs Benny, 1 milkshake, and a slice of cake. Food was a bit below average, but good portioned sized. They never brought us a teaspoon for our tea. Food was served on dirty looking plates. Milkshake arrived after the meal was finished.For 88.00 Id have expected more.Id advise against dinning here. There are better quality, cheaper priced, and faster locations everywhere.

The food was good and our Coney Island Iced Tea was terrific. Only thing that could have made it better was if our server at the bar would have been a little bit more attentive.....water refills and a little salt for my chicken pot pie would have made it even better.

I went here with a couple of friends. The food was amazing. I got the eggs benedict and my friends each got a specialty waffle. There was barely anything left on our plates by the time we left. Our waitress was funny and super nice with a hint of sarcasm. She was absolutely great. I definitely plan on coming back again for breakfast.

This is whats on display .. hostess assured us that the plastic display a 10 inch high strawberry laden confection was a realistic representation of the cheesecake served. This is what we got .. a 3 inch high modest slice with 3 pieces of strawberries for $11.00 Not a good representation for an establishment that calls itself Brooklyn Diner

One of the worst dining experiences Ive had in NYC. Went for dinner a little after 9PM. Sat at the bar. Place wasnt busy at all. After sitting there for 10 minutes. I had to ask a bus boy if there was a server. He told a gentleman, who I assume was the manager, and he brought me a menu and said the server would be right over. Ordered a burger (rated 1 of the best in NYC) medium & added grilled onions. When the food arrived. The fries were cold & the burger was well done & no grilled onions. I asked about the onions, and the server said he would go get them. Meanwhile my food got even colder while I waited. No one, including the manager, ever asked me if things were ok. The whole experience was poor. It seems like everyone was was distracted (especially my server by his phone). Which I would understand in a busy restaurant in Times Square, but the place was empty. I had planned to order dessert when I walked in, but obviously didnt after this experience. Needless to say... I wont be returning to this establishment.

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat when coming to New York/Time Square. I would get the 6” chocolate chip pecan cookie and would even get an extra to take home 2000 miles away. I also loved their Cobb salad. Here is a picture of how it used to be. This was the one best salads I ever had and recommended it to many others. Unfortunately over the last couple of years, these items have gone drastically downhill. The cookie that I ordered today was super dry - felt like it was made 15 hours previously and heated up in the microwave oven. The Cobb salad I had today was okay but nothing stellar. I shared my concerns with our very nice server and she said that’s the way “corporate” now does things. I am a bit sad, this tradition has come to an end.

Great service, prime location off of times square. Good selection of craft beers and drinks. Would definitely recommend over the big chains in Time Square. If youre looking for a quick, quality meal without outrageously priced microwave food, go here.

Had sangria, which was nice. Ordered the chicken parmigiana and came with a huge piece of chicken, and very little spaghetti. The cheese on top was delicious but the chicken itself was extremely salty. I dont know what happened there, it was uncomfortable to eat but I paid $22 for it. Choose a different option, quality over quantity is always the way to go.

Great neighborhood gem! Was recommended to me by the concierge at the hotel in NYC. I asked him for a good quality food. I was a bit sceptical at 1st as I am not a diner person, but followed the recommendations anyway and went there. Ordered Fish Tacos and it was the best Ive ever tasted. Huge portion and I finished it all. There were 2 ladies next to me, and they also loved their food. Indeed, good quality food. Would go there again in a heartbeat

A very large Greek style diner located in the theatre district so its a tourist trap with prices to match. Food is good, portions are suitable but it is incredibly expensive. If you want to pay $20 for a hot dog with chili and $8 for soup, have at it.
