Really enjoyed our breakfast at the New York Luncheonette. The French Toast was delicious and my eggs were cooked to perfection. The coffee was so-so (hot black and also iced coffee w/ almond milk). I’ve saved this diner to come back for breakfast when visiting NYC.

Post Summer Street run, the place was 95% occupied as the tourists have returned! Had 2 eggs over easy with sausage, potatoes and toast. Bottomless cup of coffee 👍👍. Excellent value given the location and quality of food & service.

Great service. Good quick option. Delicious foods.

NY casual dining at its best. Reasonable prices, fresh food, great breakfasts and coffee, and fabulous service. Go, and they will take good care of you! Right in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Rockefeller Center and St. Patricks Cathedral neighborhood.

The food was delicious. Its was a different experience to eat outside in the cold..... it was a safe and clean environment during the pandemic

Great place.. I had breakfast on a sunday the place was packed!!!I enjoyed over easy eggs and french toast .I had lunch another day.. Salmon and steamed vegetables., along with mash potatoes..mash potatoes were from a pack or from potatoes that were well I dont know..Salmon and vegetables were very delicious.

Great breakfast. We ate cream cheese bagel, Mediterranean omelette and Belgian waffles, and enjoyed them all. Nice staff.

The egg sandwich was good but it wasn’t $10 good I don’t think there is any $10 egg sandwich that has a single egg that is worth it.At that Point might as well have ordered a full breakfastThe service was great and everyone was friendly but I spent $35 on three egg sandwiches

We stayed 7 days in New York and found this on our second day. We went back every day for breakfast. Staff was very friendly beside the hot weather and the busy times. The food was fresh and very delicious. Price was good for New York too.We be definitely coming back once back in New York in the next year and recommend everyone we know to go there.Thank you guys for a fantastic service

Its not a trip to The City for us unless we have breakfast at the New York Luncheonette!

Tasty breakfast and courteous staff. The coffee was burnt though. 😐

Great fresh breakfast. Small but cozy. Food was absolutely perfect! 3 dishes plus 2 juices cost you around $50 (tips excluded)

I come here every time I’m in NYC. Great waffles and superb authentic atmosphere. Lovely service. All round well worth a visit and great place for anyone on holiday looking for a diner experience. Come on an empty stomach though!

Well made breakfast. Omelettes with fresh veggies, home fries with crispy bits. Pro service and good outdoor setup, masking by all staff. Thanks!

Fast service, good food! Good menu selection.

Really good luncheonette / diner. Very friendly service. Very good food.

Great service. Enjoyed the California Omelette.

Great place for lunch and breakfast. Fast service and delicious food..totally recommend if staying in mid town

This place had high score at several sites, and it was near our hotel so we tried it. This place is hectic, where the waiters are running all around you, bringing food to the tables and clearing the dirty dishes after. I had a pancakes which were quite nice. My friend took o e egg with potatoes and toast, but he wasnt that happy about it. And they were even wrong with his check.Overall, place has good atmosphere but food can get better.

Excellent place for breakfast. Good staff. Nice menu. Calm place to be. Bit pricey but its still good.

Great find. Excellent service,selection, and prices.

Excellent service, good food. Pricey for me but normal for NYC.

Busy old style diner. For that true New Yorker feel. Traditional breakfast food.

Absolutely do not go to a chain fast food restaurant in NYC, that kind of franchised, soul-less food you can get anywhere on the planet now. Make the most of where you are and have yourself a proper American breakfast. This is where families, business types and construction workers get breakfast. Not the cheapest, but then you dont go to New York every day. Authentic and great food. Yes the eggs are cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Lovely little place for breakfast. We ate pancakes and waffles, they were delicious. The staff was also very friendly.

Great place for breakfast, waffles, coffee, can get busy at times.

Delicious food, very quick service, reasonable prices and a cosy setting! Will certainly be back!

Authentic New York luncheon experience. Good comfort food, briskly served with a smile. Good prices, large portions and friendly staff. All in the heart of Manhattan. Dont dress up, just show up as you are.

I love diners and to be honest this breakfast food was kind of bland and pricy.. The waiters were super nice but the food didnt really impress especially for being so $$$

Would love to critique the food but couldnt get past the front door where rude worker told me it was going to be 20 minutes even though I could see a half a dozen empty tables. Im guessing it was because I was eating solo but either way I should have been seated.

Excellent service. Food was really good and not too expensive either. Id highly recommend this diner. Ill certainly be going there again the next time I visit NYC 😎🇺🇸

Classic NY diner. Great service. Tasty coffee. Solid breakfast. Get there early.

At a very early morning time, this is exactly what I needed...Very taste bagel with fried egg and bacon, good coffee and great service.

The food is pricey for breakfast. I had gotten the lumberjack French toast and it was soft and sweet along with the eggs being cooked well. However, my bf had gotten a burger and it was only half cooked. When it was pointed out, they got him a new burger that he says is a 7.5

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Really GOOD home fries and cute little diner atmosphere. Staff is welcoming and quick with service.

Great service, wonderful and friendly staff. The food amazing!!! If i could give it a 10 i would definitely!!!

Expensive breakfast. As much as a lunch. But it was tasty.

Excellent food and service great for those visiting new york and want a good food at a reasonable price, great fro breakfasts and brunch...

Great breakfast! Super fast! Good price! Very friendly staff!

The Philly cheese stake sandwich is one of the best ever taken.

Absolutely delicious breakfast, great service and good pricing. Special orders are not a problem.

Good hearty American food. The staff are really friendly. Place has a good vibe.

Terrible burnt omelette cold coffee cold toast disappointing

Best pancakes ever!

Very good service Comfortable diner Good food

Great food and awesome service

Worst restaurant in NYC, rude staff and terrible food, go somewhere else! There are great diners nearby on 1st and 2nd Avenue just 1-2 blocks!

Ok food, ok price. Pretty average.

Lovely little neighbourhood diner, the best breakfast I had on my stay.

This has great prices witch can be hard to find in midtown. Its very popular with tourists I work in the area so their always asking for the location. Its diner style food and its good.

Very accommodating and truthful. Real turkey not processed. I had a turkey wrap. Good quality nice size portion and fresh. Nice staff.

Good food and service.

Great place, great food, great service.

Great service but not so great food and pricey for what is it. A simple plate of two french toast is 10$but dont forget your in New York $$$. I would stick with whole foods market.

Wonderful food. Good prices. Friendly service. What more could you ask for? I had the Texas Tuna Melt. Interesting combination of tuna with jalapenos. Not too hot, but just spicy enough.We accidentally stumbled across a jewel while killing time before a show. I highly recommend you check them out. I know I hope to drop in again on my next visit to NY.Side note. I was heartbroken when they insisted on throwing away my leftovers before I could go into Madison Square Gardens. I was planning to chow down on it tomorrow for lunch while waiting for my flight home.

Good food, good n fast service...Im coming back !!!

Very friendly staff. Great food

Best breakfast I have never tried. The staff is so nice with people... The treatment to the costumer is great and the food amazing, the price very competitive too. Cannot ask for more! Highly recommended :)

The French toast needs to be taken off the menu. 2 pieces of bread that have no egg, just VERY lightly fried on both sides. The center is still nothing but plain white bread. It was disgusting. 14 dollars total.

Overpriced and underwhelming food. Better off anywhere else. Very Disappointing.

A wonderful place with great service and great food. I came here on a family trip and it was perfect anytime. There was a little bit of a line but it moved vary quickly. They have fast service even when busy. They really make you feel at home with the service and food.

We ate here on most days while we were in New York as it was close to our hotel. All of the food we had was great and the service was speedy and polite. It’s also a very clean place with plates cleared away quickly. It’s usually pretty full for breakfast, lunch and dinner but you can usually get a table. The only downside for us was the red wine, which really isn’t great.

Good value diner with typical diner menu selection. Went for Sunday brunch. No wait, attentive service, good portions, reasonable prices.

Great spot with quality food, comfortable and warm outdoor seating

The food is very good especially for the price. I would highly recommend!

Always a great quick easy laid back diner. Food is good especially breakfast, have been frequenting this diner for a few years now. Only passed it up once around Christmas time as there was a line out the door, on all other occasions quickly seated and fed!

No nonsense place. Very efficient service, nice staff, very decent food. Had the Greek omelet, fantasys. Generous but not to much food on your plate. All in all fantastic experience. I recommend it!

You fancy an omelette with some pancakes dressed with maple syrup and good quality brewed coffee? Or maybe a delicious sandwich rich of ingredients? This is the place. And the good thing is you can have these no matter what time it is at a perfect location: just around the corner where Lexington Ave and East 50th Street meets.

Food was great definitely will be back.

Came here for my last breakfast in New York before heading home pancakes or absolutely delicious home fries were amazing staff is super friendly and nice look forward coming back here when I visit again

Great place, very central and quick service.The hot pastrami and cheese sandwich was superb. Was so good we went back for breakfast and this was also excellent and very quick.If you near you should pop in.

Delicious food and great take out options.

2 doors from Benjamin Hotel in midtown.Great service! Big diner type menu. Lots of gluten free food. Reasonable $ for NY. We ate here twice & enjoyed both the experience & meals.Cobb salad was fresh & loaded! Veggie omelet perfectly prepared & not overloaded w/ cheese but lots of veggies. Sunday at 12 walked right in & got a table. Food came out fast.

Food is good, but the coffee is terrible

Great food and service at a great price

Perfectly New York luncheonette! Attentive, prompt service from the host and waiters on a busy Sunday morning. They managed to seat 7 of us together and 2 were fine at the counter. We received delicious & well priced breakfasts all around with precision!! Great experience & would recommend!!

Food was amazing, staff was awesome. Most importantly, left a package, returned 2 hours later with little hope of it still being there. The staff found it, saved it and really made my day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Good place. Busy all the time for lunch. Food is decent nothing special. Place is kept neat. Service is good and servers are nice.Definitely recommended.

Been here the last two times Ive visited NYC. Its a bustling place with tables crowded cheek to jowl with one another. The whole restaurant just has a happy, positive vibe to it. Breakfast there is awesome. Service is fast and super-efficient - and the wait staff is genuinely friendly. Gotta give this joint five stars.

This restaurant offers exceptionally good food for the price paid.Breakfast as well as lunch is very good!Waiters are all very friendly and courteous.

Perfect place either for breakfast or for lunch. Thank you so much, Guys.

Really nice breakfast in a great location. They made us feel very welcome and the service was efficient and friendly. Loads of pancakes, probably enough to share!

Nice place

Food was good. Prices were great for the area. The staff was AMAZING. The couple next to us dropped their silverware and the waiter had them a new set before they were even able to pick theirs up. I watched one of the waiters pull out a chair and help an elderly gentleman sit down. Great staff. I will return!

A must for good food at a good price, would highly recommend. No drama, polite staff, quiet service. A must go to.

The reviews of this place do not accurately describe it. We went with high hopes based on what others had said. We were unfortunately disappointed... The food was sub par to say the least. I got the hot pastrami sandwich and it was like low grade lunch meat! My son had the spaghetti and meatballs, well lets just say that it made chef Boyardee look gourmet. Additionally the staff was super rude! I can deal with lower quality food if the service is good. Here the service is terribly bad! There is a really pushy balding gentleman seating people and running tables. He appeared to be in charge but I am not sure if he is the owner or not. What I can tell you is that he acted like we were a bother and in his way! Customer service was not this guys strong suit! So if you are looking for a place that is quiet with good eats this has 1 of the 2 unfortunately its not the food I would go for.

Great place for breakfast. Service is prompt and friendly. You can also get a good sandwich here for lunch.

A very iconic NYC diner experience! The food was great and the service was efficient. Would go back for sure.

Standard NY diner like in the old days when I was a kid. There arent that many of these left. This one is pretty good and well located for Grand Central and a bunch of other stuff.

Had an amazing breakfast here. Great atmosphere and great food. A must for all New York visits

We popped in here very early one morning for breakfast. When youre jetlagged and up at 5am, you need places like this! Since it was around the corner from our hotel it was an easy choice to visit, and we enjoyed a hearty, well priced breakfast (I had a cheese and mushroom omelette and my partner had a waffle with bacon) and coffee. The food was typical traditional fare, nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Service was very polite and quick, and I enjoyed the old school ambience of the restaurant. It sort of felt like stepping back in time to the 1970s, in a good way!

Relaxed vibe. Honest tasty food in generous portions. Friendly service. Daily special chicken menu was satisfying.

Loved the chef salad! Huge portions. Our son liked their food and shakes. Quiet, clean, and perfect for families wanting a diner type meal.

I found the Luncheonette by searching for a diner that has breakfast and english breakfast tea. We wanted somewhere thats traditional, no pomegranate seeds or avocado and it was PERFECT.Trust me, especially if youve had a few drinks the night before, all you need is a nice stodgy breakfast with a proper cuppa tea or refillable coffee.The service was amazing, the plates were big and really good prices. I actually went back for a take away club sandwich one evening and it was yummy!Its no frills but its warm and welcoming and great value for money.Staff speak a minimum Spanish and English and they were honestly lovely.

2nd time. Went for Thursday lunch. Light crowd. Very attentive service. True bottomless drink special and more chips without ever having to ask. Always worth a stop when in the neighborhood.

Tiny bugs flying onto my breakfast. The owner stated that since I ate some of the meal, she would give me a discount of 20%. How laughable is that. In addition this happened on December 1st. She explained that its common to have bugs this time of year at the restaurant New York Lunchionette. I can only imagine what goes on in their kitchen with that type of attitude. Folks are probably swallowing tiny bugs without knowing about it. I just happen to seeing them as I was about to take a bite. So check your plate before diving in.

Amazing breakfast in mid town. Come in, eat your eggs, drink your coffee, leave $14 on the table and go. Amazing that this kind of places still exist. Bravo

Pretty average at best. Went during breakfast and had French toast for $9.50 and hot tea for $2. Pretty pricey for two pieces of bread and hot water with a Lipton tea bag. Service was fast, but never saw the waiter again. Never asked about my food or if I needed anything else like a refill or water. Orange juice is $4.50. For that I would expect fresh squeeze, but I saw them pouring it from a store bought gallon container. Bacon and sausage is piled up on the back all ready cooked. Not made to order. Quality is pretty low here.

Really good value for money. Friendly good vibe. Cakes are amazing 😁

Went here every morning for breakfast when we were in New York. The pancakes are amazing. Very generous portions. Cant wait to go back again this year
