I didnt plan to eat breakfast here but it was a good thing. The Salmon Benedict was an interesting alternative to the Eggs Benedict. Its nice to know that there is a 24/7 place to go to if one is feeling hungry.

If you dont mind shelling 20 bucks for a breakfast omelet this is the place to be. Its a solid food NY dinner, with the NY dinner attitude and ambiance that is unique to this city and the genres. The menue has evolved to include Californian and Mexican influences ( mostly Avocado) but so did this city, so it all balances out. Me and my son loved it, loved the food, and the service. Think we are starting a new tradition...

A good amount of decent dinner food for a fair price. Staff is fast and friendly my cups where never empty.

What a great experience we had!!I was really wishing for a while now to go a new diner and selected this one cause it gave me a good impression. This place definitely deserves better reviews.The diner itself had like this old school ambiance, which made you feel really comfortable. They had a fee people around us that were apparently regular customers because of the way they talked to the owner and the waiters. The owner came to every table to make sure everything was ok, which to me was the cherry on top.Our waitress was Carmen, sometimes this other gentleman would come to our table to offer/serve coffee but she was our main waitress. What a friendly, polite person, she had a really nice vibe.They came to our table to pour coffee at least 5 times, I had 4 cups of coffee myself. It was very good, always hot and fresh, just how I like my coffee. :PAs per Carmens recommendation, me and my boyfriend ordered the Flame Omelette, it had bacon, ham, sausage and cheese and came with home fries and toasts.She read our faces perfectly cause she didnt go wrong! Our omelettes were made to perfection... delightful!! We both loved the selection!!!I wish to be back again in the future and try out a different plate. I saw some orders coming out and everything looked so delicious and freshly made.100% recommended!!!!!!

Amazing service. One of the waitresses always remembers my breakfast order, never knew that was something I needed in my life until I had it. Get the corn beef and hash with eggs and youll save money on the lunch youll be too full to eat later in the day. Whether you come in before you start your day or after a possibly too-fun night, youll find calm and the exact right sustenance for your mood.

I went in today before work! First thing i noticed is the attitude of the works! Not friendly. Then one one rolled her eyes when I told her I could not read the menu! It was small and blurred paper. She was rude about it! Instead she could have given me a real menu to read!

Very fast service and excellent prices. Food was way under salted. It did not appear salt was added to eggs or hashbrowns during or after cooking.

Food was awful. Burger was undercooked and everything made you not want to eat it. Our server was super nice and attentive though. He had a wonderful attitude. Not worth the expensive prices at all.

Went there 3 years ago. Yes a late review. Found it by accident as staying in a hotel nearby. Had quite a few breakfasts and late evening meals after long days of sightseeing. Staff were amazing, food delicious and cant find a decent cheese steak sandwich in London like your one.

Very solid diner with good sized portions. Had a delicious gyro platter and they made a good egg cream. My wife had waffle fries which were very good. Recommend for quick bite to eat

Super Halloween Pumpkins to encourage social distancing and plexi glass between tables. Our server was so kind, he brewed a fresh pot of coffee just for me -- had I known, I would have asked for another drink. They have a diverse menu and friendly service. Servers continually checked on us and asked if we needed anything. Fairly priced as well. 5 stars for service -- thank you!

The staff here are lovely. I ordered the chicken soup which came out very quickly and was absolutely delicious. Later I also ordered the waffle fries which were also yummy.

So glad they have outdoor seating now. Been craving for a brunch spot nearby with COVID lockdown situation lately. It was a hot day but there’s plenty of shade from there near by buildings and the umbrellasService was quick and efficient. Food was also great.

One of the few spots open late on the West Side if NYC, had coffee and salad, dessert after a rehearsal. Very pleasant, unpretentious coffee shop.

Good food. Pricey for a diner.

Well worth the visit for a street-side 24-hr diner. Many options for food, had a wide selection of items from the menu - all of which were impeccable.

Its the Flame diner... Good for an expensive (non-imaginative) burger and weak coffee. It is you last sit-down choice before choosing McDonalds

An absolutely delicious breakfast! We had the Eggs Benedict; Pancakces; and the Lumberjack breakfast (which was French Toast, your choice of eggs and toast)- in my case, I combined Ham with Swiss cheese omelette for my Lumberjack. The French toast was to-diefor! The Ham & Cheese Omelette was exactly how I requested- runny/under-done- absolutely HEAVENLY! Ill return for another breakfast before we leave NYC!

Fast and kind service! We went for brunch on a Sunday, the food was delicious, and did not take long at all! Kept our coffee cups full and checked on us often. Tables were cleaned very well between customers! Well be back!

I enjoyed their long Island ice tea and their bacon and cheese egg omelet

Ive known about this place for 30+ yrs. Every time I go it never disappoints. Food was good n fresh. Our server was nice. A little pricey for breakfast but I dont mind if its worth it.

This diner was a short walk from our hotel. It was late already and the hotel clerk recommended them. Service was typical NY, blunt not friendly but not rude . Its typical diner Burgers- fries, club sandwiches, breakfast. We had a little bit of everything that night and it was pretty good. Not great but okay.

I Ordered a cheeseburger with fries and everything was fresh. Customer service was spot on and price was reasonable given the location. Will stop by again some other time, great experience overall.

Its a very lovely Diner. They have lots of seating. Especially booths. The food is ok. If i have to rate the food from 1-10 i would say 7. Friendly servers. The price is reasonable. You do get what you pay for. I orderes the grilled chicken salad. It was delicious and very filling.

Absolutely delicious breakfast burrito!!The service is amazing Kosana our server was one of the best we have ever had. The food came out lightning fast even though we made changes to the standard burrito (swapped the cheese for goat cheese)While this place may not be beautiful the service and food are amazing!!

24/7 good diner restaurant. Not too much portion but taste good food and very friendly staffs.

Excellent food...warm atmosphere...our waiter worked very hard to make sure we were happy

Flame is one of my favorite diners in Manhattan. The pancakes, bacon and eggs are perfect. Coffee is bottomless and the staff always sweet. They recognize repeat customers and treat you like family!

5 stars just for being a 24 hour diner. Service was fast, food was good and the staff was super friendly!! Went in for a 4:30 am breakfast after a long day and night of partying with my girlfriends. Definitely hit the spot and I would definitely go back!!

We go here after church every Sunday. Our waiter Polito and the entire staff are extraordinary. High quality food. Reasonable prices.

Good food, clean place. Mexican brunch especially is very good with good portion.

Overall bad experience. Food overcooked/ not good tasting. We expressed our feelings about the food, particularly that the pickles tasted spoiled/old. When we communicated to our waiter, he said I serve the food, I dont make it. Chuckled and walked away.Wouldnt recommend or return.

Food was average at best. But the workers were nice but didnt speak very good English.

The place is nice, reminded me of typical diners shown in movies. The staff were courteous and friendly. Price range is affordable considering the portion. The down side is, the burgers I ordered were on the dry side, when it was served, it was already cool. On the other hand, the meatloaf was good, full of flavors and the carbonara was delightfully different from what I am used to. Will go back again if time permits, but would stay clear of the burger.

Ordered pick up and they were so sweet to offer delivery. Pancakes were great! :)

The worst diner in the world. If you are African American. I watch the waiter pass me and my friends by over and over never have us army water or even place silverware on our tables upon our arrival. When we asked and our request was anored so we decide ask to speak to a manager and the manager said that you people are never happy. What do you mean you people. He said you black people. My advice to all African American dont lower your standards on allowing people on putting us .

You will dig this Za from the crust to its sauce to its toppings.

The food was awful. This is not a quality nyc diner at all. Dont believe the rating.

Its very nice. Simple foods were a little pricey but good. Staff were courteous and welcoming.

Decent dinner. Open 24/7 - huge plus!

Great service!! Loved our server, he was great!!! Enjoyed the small diner experience!

Bring your salt and be prepared to eat pre-packaged food. Its not the typical diner food...the waiter had to look at the menu to see what it was I ordered... seafood was overcooked, steak wasnt seasoned. Some of my partys food was still frozen...the lemonade wasnt sweet and the guy brought it back after he put sugar in the cup smh

I am giving The Flame five stars in the diners category. I have known the place for years, since I started working in the old Roosevelt Hospital. Standard but good diner menu with some Greek flourishes and attentive service, but thats not what is most important. It is the atmosphere created by the owners and staff making one feel like being part of the family. And constantly pouring more coffee into your cup. Working on the East Side now I stopped by one chilly day and was delighted they were open, recognized me, and were as inviting and warm as I remembered them.

We had the pineapple burger and chocolate cake that was delicious 😋🇩🇴

I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS THE CHEESE BURGERS AND FRIES ARE 😋😋😋😋😋 BREAKFAST EGGS BACON TOAST DELICIOUS AND TIME!

Food was fantastic and service was amazing. One of the few good diners left in the neighborhood.

I always go here. The food is always decent. The servine is always good as well. Its 24hrs so you cant beat it. I definitely recommend this spot for sure. You wont be disappointed.

I got oreo pancake n western omelette which was soooo good n i also had the ice cream soda which look great but it wasnt for me...i think the best soda for that would be cream soda but be warned cream soda n ice cream runs right though u lol

Located in Midtown Manhattan, so as expected definitely pricey. But service was really prompt despite there being a small crowd -- greeted from beginning to end and was checked on repeatedly. Seating areas are kind of small especially when dining with someone. Ordered penne alla vodka which came with choice of veggie or chicken noodle soup. Soup was good, pasta perfect texture, but a little sweet. Overall good experience!

Very good food but they can do better with the 🍸drinks

Food is Amazing. Hugh menu. Staff are pleasant and amazing. Always a treat when I come here.👍🏾

Extremely over priced for the quality. Very groovy that Lorde wrote Melodrama here tho.

Cat fish very flavorful. Great steamed veggies!

Excellent service, waiters are on point. Food on the other hand was straight garbage, sausage was old, food was just bland and tasteless.

Ive eaten there with take outs. Today I had need for a restroom. CVS whom I get meds & supplies including vaccines (flu, covid, etc) denied my request. I left went back to car where my daughter waited to go in to get our supplies. However I asked waiter at the flame who was very considerate n polite, gave me his permission although hes never seen or spoken to me. My daughter goes in n gets my meals. Which is quite good n tasty. Place is immaculate. Employees are friendly n courteous. Ill find another pharmacy but The Flame is my restaurant forever.

The service was very good everyone made sure i was taken care of and nice. Had the turbo omlette and it was delivious

Excellent breakfast menu. The strong coffee seems bottomless and one of the house specialties, the breakfast club sandwich, is an amazing variation of the classic on toast.

My neighborhood diner is always a great experience whether Iam ordering out my favorite well done burger deluxe or dining in. When my relatives from abroad come to visit we always take the time to enjoy dinner with this establishmebt. Very nice staff and the food is great.

Been here several times and they are good but pricey.

I ordered $11 pastrami sandwich via UberEats and place an extra sauce for my sandwich. They charged extra $5 for extra sauce withoutany notice. First of all, they isnt any sauce not like any other pastrami sandwich.Secondly, $5 extra charge for $11 sandwich?Worst pastrami ever. Just simple bun with pastrami and it has no sauerkraut either. I tried to call the restaurant but nobody answer. Not worth it

The Lorde likes it so I do too

Great food and desserts red velvet cake

Great place to eat while staying at the fairfield inn and suites. Super friendly and prompt staff

Way too costly for a cheeseburger deluxe and a Snapple!

Big dishes, delicious pancakes and hot chocolate . My parents ordered omlets, salat, bagles and enjoyed it every time. Was just outside of our hotel and being open 24h we went several times. Also good prices

This is the only restaurant I know where you have to pay $3 for each soda and dont get refills?

It was ok, my first morning in town and was in a rush.

24hrs, great for a late night snack and the food is amazing!

Great place! Fantastic Staff

I found this little gem yesterday in the pocket of Hell’s Kitchen and I’m so glad I did. The menu has a ton of variety and the prices are reasonable. The customer service was great so naturally I responded with ordering more. I had the chicken quesadilla, Tom Collins, and cheesecake. Everything was perfect. Their outdoor dining setup is well away from the sidewalk and that’s a big deal, considering. Everyone was attentive and friendly. I will be back! 😀

Great place best wings and drinks

Grilled chicken salad was delish

Great late night diner!

One of the best diners in the city, hands down

Being from out of town, I was not aware that the wait staff fight over table service areas. That said it is a nice place for quick breakfast at NYC prices.

Great service, awesome customer service.

Rude person on the phone hangs up before you can finish your sentence...this is before I get the food...hope the food is worth it...but customer experience is horrific

A preferred scene for delicious American food. service is always timely even when they have a full house. i look forward to a return visit. menu is like a cafe in boston i liked.

Arrived late one evening after flying in from overseas; as I had a few hours to spend.There was a sweet & helpful waitress there and apologize; as I completely forgot her name. Over-all, everyone was great and the restaurant was clean. The environment truly reminded me of when I was my younger self working in a Greek restaurant. It just felt like home and really enjoyed my visit.Food was good and plentiful; as they did have a vegetarian burger and fries that I thoroughly enjoyed.People who arrived late (3am – 5am) seemed to be arriving from a club (very entertaining) or heading to or from work, like NYC finest (Police).Definitely worth a visit; especially if you find yourself needing something to eat really late or early depending on your perception of time.

Good food, friendly staff. Jalapeño poppers are amazing!

My wife loves the Salmon Wrap and the skirt steak. Soups are always good, and service is prompt and courteous. They have sweet potato fries and a large selection of desserts. Good expreso and capuchino.

Personally wouldn’t go here unless it’s the only thing open. The dessert we got was hard and underwhelming. Plus the delivery driver expected a tip, not a good look.

Over priced and underwhelming. Wish they did better for the location theyre in.

Whilst visiting NYC from the UK, we wanted to experience the traditional USA Diner, so after reading several reviews, made our way to Flame. We were greeted warmly and shown to a table, the restaurant was very busy which is always a good sign. A waiter quickly attended and provided water and took our drinks order, while we had a good look through the menu which is extensive and has a great variety. Ordered the pancakes and waffles, with a side of bacon and eggs, we werent disappointed! Fabulously tasty food, great coffee, wonderful friend service, all at a reasonable price. Cant wait to come back again...!

A top scene for american food. Got there about two, it was not packed. Nothing but enjoyable experiences here. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I liked to visit.

The Flame Dinner offers tasty food, quick service, and friendly staff in a standard diner atmosphere.

Great service! Good food.

Evening was ok.. Food a little cool.. Nice presentation..

The food was good i ordered a grill chicken salad it was amazing.

Great service!! 24hrs Dinner

Good food at better prices than 7th avenue. Wait staff were attentive.

My favorite diner of over 15 years

Delicious Food at a good price

A great place .

Good breakfast, serving size and price. Staff is nice, gets busy during the weekends for breakfast.

Lovely friendly good food

Traditionally diner style service. Busy location, not too much to report

The greatest Diner. In. Manhattan. And. Nikko. And Clady. Cashier

Excellent Food, Great Experience, Excellent Top Notch Service!!!!
