Perfect little dinner - feels like it grew organically right out of the streets. Delicious food, caring wait staff. This place is the real deal.

I went to this Diner w/ my family to have a nice breakfast. The woman in the front that take the people in was a bit rude. We waited for more than 30 mins till we called her out and ask why were party of 3 and still outside. Meanwhile some people just came and she sit them right away. She have the audacity to say that she heard party of 5 and blame it on me. I cant describe the stress she put me into. Inside it took more than 10 mins for the server to go to our table and take our orders. Food is okay just like Diner food. The server gave us coffee never refill it again. Not a glass of water was offered or brought in out table. Were so disappointed we almost ruined our day. Think before you eat there or experince it yourself. Not going back again!!

Was in town and ran into this small hidden gem. Nice welcoming vibe. They have outside seating. Food was great and had a great time.

Great breakfast. Friendly and fast service. Loved the waffles.

Right in the financial district. Was there for breakfast, typical diner with just the right amount of Grease. We ordered we ate and all was as expected. The only downside was the Bialy which is supposed to be like a fluffier bagel but was dry and too chewy. Next time will go for the bagel

Excellent lil spot....the servers treat you like family. Been gone 18 months and Julie greeted me with a very warm smile and for a brief moment things were back to normal. Love this place. Cobb salad was on point also.

Great little spot but it desperately needed a touch up and more staff. Went there during a weekend night, had only one waiter who was also cashier, busboy and prep for delivery. We didnt have to wait that long but considering it only had about 2 other groups. Cant imagine if more people arrived. Food was great, hot and steamy. Parmesan chicken melted, super soft and sauce was delicious.

The food was good, but I place to go order in which my side items was different from what I requested or not there at all

Food was good. Waitress was super nice. Service was quick prices are reasonable.

The food at this diner is your typical food you would expect from a diner. The service was outstanding though! The server was so sweet!

An iconic old school diner in FIDI. Great service and prices, gives you that classic American diner experience in Manhattan. The Pancakes are subpar (and the reason for only 4 stars), but the Belgian Waffle and the burgers more than make up for it. This is one of the best value brunch spots in Manhattan.

Looking for a typical American breakfast place near to the hotel and found this pearl. Great big portion of pancakes, refill coffee, super cool and nice waitress and the interior of the diner was just great. Def worth it, when you are in the financial district.

This Diner is something of a throwback for me. Service is quick from the time youre seated. The coffee isnt great by todays standards but its a good typical everyday brew with infinite refills. I was a little nostalgic for home fries but they were a letdown. I wont blame the diner, but Id rather have potatoes lyonnaise - - something I definitely wont get at this diner.My bagel with bacon, egg & cheese was fine as breakfast sandwiches go. If youre downtown in the financial district this could be a convenient spot for a good quick & hot breakfast.

I beg you not to ruin your day by visiting this diner.The food isn’t good, the service isn’t good, the place is dirty. Just don’t. You’re better off.

Classic old-time dinner, the kind of which is rarer around New York these days. Come here if youre looking for reasonable prices for classic fares but dont expect to find avocado toast on the menu

Unassuming little place that was very busy. Quick service. A wide array of different breakfast and lunch items. Toilets were clean. A really good fruit salad as well. A place to go if you’re looking for an authentic American diner. Friendly staff with good service. People constantly coming in and out. Good coffee. They offered free water and orange juice as well. WiFi is available here. Waffles were fresh and still warm when served. 100% recommend.

The food taste very good prices were good the server was very friendly and recommended going here again

Classic diner with excellent diner food! Great service and location. Can be busy with people waiting for tables on popular hours and days.

Great cozy retro spot for breakfast. Food is good & waitresses are super sweet

Food was great and the diner was adorable.

Typical no frills diner. Chicken souvlaki is great.

Very friendly staff, food was good. But looks like they are understaffed.

Old school diner.,Alex is a great manager

Great old-fashioned neighborhood diner! I got this whole meal - super filling & tastes good - for $8.5. The servers are very nice. Would definitely recommend!

Really average food. Our waitress, who was at the end of a 40 year shift, was touch and go for a bit but managed to pull through.

I work near by and finally decided to give this a try. The food is wholesome, taste just like your delightful relatives cooking; homemade indeed. Left me feeling satisfied and fulfilled. I highly recommend this diner to anyone looking or passing by. Customer service was also exceptional!!!

My favorite bacon, egg and cheese in the city! Yeah, its a little small and dated, but its a dinner. Its not going to be fancy. Breakfast good is the way to go.

Good food! nice service, but kinda slow service. Due to short staff I think!? But overall I enjoyed it.

I love the classic retro feel. Food is always fast, tasty and on point, even when I order for delivery. Service for dine in is average.

Old, typical American diner located close to Wall street. You wouldnt expect an authentic place like this in the area.The food is what you expect from a dinner; waffles, pancakes etc. And theyre good at it.The interior is kinda outdated but part of the charm, but a little cleaning wouldnt hurt!The staff is working hard but are still nice and up for a chat. Hopefully this place can survive for many more years!

The food was ok, nothing special it was food and got me.and my girl full at least.

Bitchin old school diner, Mario makes a mean burger, nice plate of pickles when you sit down. Ill be haunting this place next time Im here!

Great spot for almost home cooking. Reasonably priced and homemade food. If youre downtown looking for a fast bite, this is a great spot.

I was here for breakfast and it was a great diner experience. I ordered the #8 lumberjack special. Price was good and food was great. Friendly staff provided us with a small orange juice for free. I would highly recommend. Prompt, thoughtful, decisive 👌

Good spot. Inexpensive and good food

Do not go here! They scam you! The prices in the menu are not what appears in the bill! Our bill was supposed to be 36 and we got charged 54 for a bunch of extra charges that did not appear on the menu.

My friends and I were staying at a hotel nearby and stopped in for breakfast. It was great! Small diner, very busy, with great food. I had a egg, cheese and sausage sandwich with some coffee. Delicious! Service was good too. I would love to go back there next time I am in NY.

The food is fine I guess, but I had some of the worst service Ive ever had, anywhere. I ordered online, and they literally waited 20 minutes just to start processing my order. When I went in there, I was yelled at, saying I DONT HAVE YOUR ORDER YET!. But it turns out they did. I saw the person at the front bring the paper that was my order over, 20+ minutes after I had entered it in online.Seriously, just make your pancakes, and let this place disappear from the map. Its not worth it.

Website says they close at 2:45pm I arrived at 1:30pm and the lady at the door didn’t even say hello she just turned me away saying “no,we closed” after I told her the website said 2:45 she told me she leaves at 2. Was going to be my first time going here but I won’t try again. She was to rude for me.

Place needs an upgrade. Very dingy and the grease accumulation in the cooking area, very unsanitary. Can use a more professional manager as well. Place is not for the picky

Legit diner. Very reasonable prices. Quick service.

Tasty meal, generous portions at a reasonable price.

Ordered a panini and got a wrap. Clearly cooks dont know the difference between a wrap and a panini. Beside being the wrong order the little bit of chicken, pepper and non existent mozzarella went straight into trash. Same for chicken nuggets and fries.. save your money and use your microwave for better tasting food.

I got the New York Supreme. What good food and a lovely waitress Judy. Definitely coming back

Great food here its amazing to eat in the middle of NYC

Good greasy American diner. You can feel the decades of grease on the floor as you walk in

Great diner vibe. Delicious food. Complimentary OJ. Close to our hotel.

Looking for a traditional diner that plays 80s shows on their early 2000s plasma TVs? Youve found the right place.No frills, no big menu items except for what you expect. Pancakes (That were perfectly fluffy!), waffles, BACON, and anything that can be cooked on a griddle.This place is exactly what ive looked for in a diner since moving to NYC in late 2014...

Service is always nice even when they have a full house. The service was very friendly and attentive. This place has a good design.

Next time Ill be back with my relatives. Bring your hunger - portions are generous. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I loved.

Great diner food!

A brilliant traditional American diner. I didnt see any vegan food, but the coffee was great. I will definitely be going back the next time that I am next in New York City.

Pancakes with eggs and sausages are the best

Nice place to get good food and good service.The lady was really really good behavior she’s very nicely.

Visited on Sat I believe. Service treated us so kindly. This place has a good atmosphere.

Nothing beats a NY Diner. This one is no exception.

Fantastic place, good and service!

Somewhat dingy old school diner with moderate prices and a mixed bag of food. My bowl for my food was dirty with old chili on it. My table was dirty. The serving staff was nice but a bit distracted even though the place was empty. The food was far from fresh and lacked flavor. The mashed potatoes were from a mix, and were served lukewarm, watery and gross, the vegetables were clearly frozen and unseasoned. The meatloaf tasted stale and was covered in a tasteless brown gravy which only added to the insult. All this for about 20 bucks. Definitely not worth it. I gave 1 extra star for the service otherwise this place was a 1.

Cheap breakfast, nice menu, friendly staff

Long time staple of the area. Solid greasy spoon diner.

Stopped by for lunch since this was near my hotel. Reviews looked fine so I gave it a try. Most diners in the NY/NJ area ar a cut way above. I had the hamburger which as others noted was dry, hard and had zero flavor. The fries were the highlight of the meal. Had a slice of cake for dessert. Bad choice it was near frozen came out of the refrigerator. Definitely a pass here. Just wanted something simple.

No butter in the mashed potatoes and vegetables and the waiter never asked if I needed anything else never going back. An hour later I had bad stomach pains what was in that food?

Nice pancakes.. very friendly staff.. classic american diner!

My favorite neighborhood diner. So glad its reopened. Awesome breakfast as usual.

3 of us came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Each of our meals came out at different times so 1 of was eating while the others patiently waited. We asked for fries and got home fries. We asked for sweet potatoes fries and got fries. We asked for mayo which never came. The waitress never came back to fill our glass of water. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because the waffle was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Classic diner food! Dont miss out on this experience!! Fantastic atmosphere and service, it can get busy but the waitresss are at the top of their game! Make to try the pastrami and corned beef in anything! Also the coffee is great! Worthwhile to make the journey if your not staying close and definitely you go to if you are!

I love Pear Diner! It is so convenient. I work on Fulton St and you can always depend on them for fast delivery when I have a busy day or just dont feel like going out. My order is always correct and delicious. Thank you Pearl :)

Food and service was great! Thanks a bunch!!

Your typical greasy spoon American diner. Its actually nostalgic to sit here and eat since these establishments are becoming more and.more.scarce . . . If youre looking for eclectic service, skip this place, but for the wide selection of foods and soups with quick service and a smile, stop in.

Friendly staff and fast service

I enjoyed the Breakfast i ate

Pearl Diner is a wonderful experience and my go-to diner in Lower Manhattan. A seat at the counter is the best way to experience it - watching the cooks whip up greasy cheeseburgers and omelettes. I love the Pearl!

Food was “ ok “ . The lady answering the phone was rude .

Busy diner with lovely service and delicious breakfast. You won’t leave hungry! Portions are huge, coffee’s a tad thin but then again I’m used to super strong coffee.

A NYC jewel, it reminded me an old fashion greasy spoon. It nothing upscale or fashionable. I discovered this place because of my meal pal subscription. The food was good and the service excellent.I gave it 4 stars because the place is tight and my cold slaw was lacking in taste and appeal. So if you can bypass it, then it’s all good from there.

My burger was one youd get out of a freezer, came in a dry bun and was served with crinkle cut chips. Id make better burgers at home. My friends tell me the chicken parm with spaghetti was good but as a last meal in New York was really disappointing.

First and foremost, this is a really old diner, that means greasy food and plenty of it. Service was extremely friendly. I found their coffee to be a little bitter, but the food was exactly to my expectations. One of their cheese choices is brie.

Only diner in the area which I adore. Nothing exceptional about it which make it great. You get what you expect from a diner.

I went here back in 2018 and loved the pancakes here. Recently came back twice with out of town visitors (friends from China, wanted to show them the New York diner experience) for breakfast. Shocked by the racist and rude service toward Asians.First bad visit, the older female waitress was extremely rude speaking to us when she heard we wanted to share plates and ordered us to move to the counter. Food at least came. Second bad visit, my friend and I went to the counter for their rule. I asked if we could order, the waitress told us in a rude tone to move down the counter. No one made eye contact with us or offered us water or told us please wait X minutes. Meanwhile an older Caucasian gentleman behind us in line was immediately seated and his order promptly taken.

Loved this place. Doesnt look like much at all. Kinda worn down, ripped seats, etc. but the people were really nice and attentive. Food was served quickly and orrery was accurate. I only got an egg and bacon sandwich on a roll, but it was very good. Others had the pastrami omlet and the meatball hero special. Both devoured their plates, so I guess they were good also. On top of all that, the place was cheap. Score!!

Watery poached eggs, sad thin french toast with no flavor, extremely dry bacon and dried out eggs. I could easily make a better breakfast. Its cheap but not worth the horrible food

It was ok. Food, service and price was decent. I didnt care for what I ordered though. A grill chicken sandwich. Not terrible but it was a bit dry and hard. My family loved their food, and service was good. 4 stars.

This place has gone way downhill. Awful delivery, horrible quality. I have eaten here a few times in the diner. It is decent. I would never order from here again after getting 2 terrible breakfast sandwich. They charge extra for a hero and I ordered 2 sandwiches: a ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and a bacon,egg,cheese sandwich, and I asked for salt, pepper, and ketchup on both. What I got was a luke warm dry hero, a tiny piece of ham and dried out scrambled egg. No cheese or anything else. We threw the food out because it tasted like cardboard. Will never order again. Breakfast sandwiches are extremely easy to make and this was shameful for a diner.

Great neighborhood American spot in Wall st. Breakfast was good fast and hit the spot. Could be cleaner but overall yummy.

One of the last original Manhattan diners. Was average in the 1980s, but one of a kind in the 21st century. Everything is great, except for the lobster. Go now, before the lease runs out and it turns into a dog spa, ATM shop or real estate brokerage. B(

I get meals through MealPal, and that way its very affordable. Even without that daily specials are available from $9-10, which is decent for Manhattan sit down restaurant. Food is good, seems clean with pleasant staff. Pretty standard fare for diners, but a solid option if you need to kill time in Wall Street area.

Me and my kids ate here In May 2018. Place was right around the corner from hotel. We loved the breakfast. Service was good and food was on point with very reasonable prices for NYC. Highly recommend.

Loved breakfast here! They were fast and notover prices. Waitress paid close attention to detail to make sure we had what we needed.

Just what you expect from a diner in lower Manhattan. You dont walk away hungry. And the food was good.

Be careful about checking the bill. They tried to cheat on me. First, I asked for a juice which is included in breakfast special and they brought me a large one which is not included without mentioning that. Second, they counted the wrong item which costs two dollars more. Looks like this is their standard practice.

Visited twice in a week, first with family and then with my fiance.Both times, we received excellent service from the staff. Both times, food came out as requested and within a reasonable time frame. The food itself wasnt the best in the world, but the staff being nice, food being affordable, and location are what made it for me.Plus, as an English/Spanish speaker, it was a nice surprise to see a diner in the Financial District that employs English/Spanish speakers.Just be mindful of the space. Its not the biggest diner around.

Great diner, with a professional and friendly staff. Good food, and great prices! I love their cheese burger deluxe platters!

Came here a fair bit while on holiday in NYC. The interior is really authentic, the food was great (try the home fries with your breakfast), staff were lovely, and prices are low! Always got a table very quickly. Highly recommended for a good diner meal, any time of day.

You get what you pay for. This is a quaint diner that has not changed since the 60s. The furniture, decor and I assume menu are still the same. You are greeted with an abrupt yet humble welcome. The menu contains cheap coffee and all kinds of starch. No Michelin stars here but its full of character.

A fantastic Diner located South Manhattan, New York. If you wish to visit an American Diner, you just have to visit Pearl Street Diner to get a very good diner experience.The atmosphere in Pearl Street Diner is like the real diner atmosphere and the service aswell. Very friendly staff which comes with coffee just like in the movies.I had a great Pastrami Sandwich. Also a must try in New York.

I would have given it three stars for the aliment and casual ambiance. But the way they changed the credit card charge later after I left, even though I specifically put the tip amount, has made me to reduce the star. The food tends to be like a general diner and moderately spiced. Many choices of burgers in this part of NYC makes you to relate to soul food. Space is small but they are usually quick to allocate you.

This place showed the worst service I have ever seen. I have ordered chicked gyros where the meat was undentifiable substance . After I have asked the waiter his answer was : it is imitation of the lamb meat. When he saw we didn’t eat our food he brought us cheesecake what was a nice gesture if the cake wouldn’t be frozen. In the end we asked for the bill where he added his own gratuity 6$ for the horrible service and he wasn’t willing to take it off. Horrible quality food with even worse service.

There was like one other person here when I went on a random Wednesday night. But it was so nice. The service was good, food was decent. I was overall happy with this cute little diner. The apple pie wasnt anything to write home about but I as a panini that was delightful.

Salad could have been better if dressing was on the side. Got soggy very quickly only 1 hour after I took it out. Ive sat here before to eat, which was fine. Recommend the breakfast food more.

Service was great fast and friendly, the food however... you can tell they use the cheap stuff as you can literally taste it.
