Went to this diner instead of my usual go to diner and I wasn’t disappointed. The staff was much friendlier and the food was better quality. Which brings better flavor. The portion was quite large. The vibe was totally chill and laid back. The food came out super quick and is very reasonably priced. I am very happy with my experience.

The food was delicious, very filling and generous portions. We had breakfast and I couldnt finish my plate. The staff was very nice. They give you coffee and water, but mind you will be charged for this.

Everything was perfect! Jeff welcomed us with a smile, and the menu was very large and super tasty. The westway omelette was delicious and the side potatoes had a nice grilled flavor. The granola bowl was very tasty and of good quality.

On our last day in New York City, we wanted to have a nice breakfast and after checking out Yelp, I came across Westway Diner. The reviews for me dont do this place justice because from the moment we walked in to the time we left, we felt appreciated. We were quickly seated and after perusing over the extensive menu, we decided on what to have. I went went the Waffles and bacon, my son went with Breakfast Omelette and my daughter had the Chicken tenders. I know that we all loved the food and the portions sizes were great.I was able to speak with the owner and he is a wonderful person who is passionate about Westway Diner. Not only does he believe in what he does but he puts the work in to make sure customers are happy and have a great experience. Yes, I recommend Westway Diner and if youre in the area, please drop in and show some appreciation.

Reasonably priced breakfast for New York. Staff was friendly but a little hard to understand....could have just been the masks. All the food was quite tasty...especially the homemade corn beef hash. Only thing that was disappointing was that the turkey bacon and beef sausage were both deep fried which made them dry but if were ever visiting again from Florida, we would come again.

Ordered pancakes there for delivery. The delivery guy left some kitkat wrapping in my food and tried to open my door. When called, the manager of the establishment denied the whole thing. Not my first bad experience with them actually, definitely a place to avoid. Who knows what that delivery guy put in my food

The place is okay, but everything about the place including the waiters are average.I didn’t see anything that worth another visit, and waiter’s definitely need to be better trained how be friendly.On top of that the only restaurant I saw that adds 18% tips for a very bad service.At the end the restaurant double charged by “mistake”.

During our small vacation to NYC, my husband took the family to Westway Diner for breakfast. Its a great family owned restaurant, that serves homemade food. The portions are big, so be prepared to take home leftovers.

Delicious bagel with Lox and the works. Loved it. Greek salad was so so--iceburg lettuce, not the best feta. Staff us really friendly, good coffee refills. Seinfeld was imagined up here. What more do you want?

Deserves a 5 star. Reasonably priced food. Cappuccino was the best I ever had. Fruit pancakes, turkey sausage, and Belgium waffles were amazing. Prompt service. Very courteous folks. Amazing experience!

Great diner feel that I was looking for in New York. Eggs Benedict with potatoes were very delicious. Prices are very good for location and the service was good. There were other menu items I would try on another visit.

Our waitress wasnt super kind at all. I wanted to order more food, but before I could finish my order, she took my menu from me and never came back. The last time Id eaten here it was great, so I was hoping for a similar experience. The food was really good! Just not so much the service this time around.

Review №31

Do not get the turkey bacon, it was air-fried dry. The breakfast potatoes were a smash from being called mashed potatoes. The traditional french toast was simply two pieces with a tap powdered sugar, no side fruit, or hot syrup. NOTHING!I nearly called the waiter every time I needed something and then when I got the bill hed already added an 18% tip ($10) to the bill without telling me. We were about to leave him a cash tip. Otherwise, the establishment was clean and the staff was very nice.

Westway is a Hells Kitchen staple. It is one of the closest things we have to comfort food in New York City. You know exactly what youre going to get, and its just what you want it to be. One of the best diners in NYC in my humble opinion.

Super quick service, at the moment they do require vaccination cards for eating in doors. Not much of a problem since they do offer outdoor seating. My only complaint is that they seem to be watering down the syrup. It was a runny mess when I poured them onto my waffles.

My experience here was quite good -- Staff was friendly, food was good. Me and my friend took to day drinking, to which I might add that the white russian was delicious. We sat outside and were quickly offered alternative seating when it began to drizzle.All in all, I had a fantastic first experience here. Highly recommended for a weekend brunch.

We LOVED this gem of a diner. We were visiting from Boston and needed a good lunch place with options for 3 older hungry kids. Food was delicious. We got salads, wrap, burger and chicken tenders. Food came out quick. My son said best tenders he has ever had! Loved my raspberry salad Service was amazing and waiter so nice! Highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised by this diner. Their brunch mimosas are STRONG!!!! Service was pretty fast for how busy/crowded it was. The menu literally has something for everybody so you cant go wrong. Well probably go back again this weekend to try something else because the brunch items were that good

We were referred by Carlos at the Doubletree Hilton hotel and it was one of the best recommendations anyone made in New York.. The service was GREAT the people were so polite and very attentive. We love being able to sit in theoutdoor cafe portion of the restaurant If you visit NYC you must eat there.

The birth place of Seinfield! We were seated very quickly and our order was delicious. The waiter wasnt so pleasant until we asked for the check. We asked if he could split it for us and he ripped it in two and said here ya go split check. We laughed so hard!

We came here twice in our 5 day stay. Service is amazing. We didnt have to ask for anything as the server was so attentive. Food was lovely. Pancakes light and fluffy, eggs cooked just how we asked. Corned beef hash was delicious and the French toast was great. Was one of the cheaper places to eat at too. Highly recommended

This was the fastest I have ever had an meal come to the table after ordering! We ordered a few typical breakfasts: omelettes and such around noon and they were fairly busy. The food came to the table four (4!) minutes later! It was piping hot, the omelette was nicely browned (like how on earth did they manage that?) and I know it wasn’t pre-made or par-cooked since it was an unusual combo of items in it. And the kicker, it all tasted great and I appreciated that they didn’t over salt anything and allowed us to handle that end ourselves. Friendly, efficient service so much so that we went back again! In and out in under 30 minutes so we could get on with our adventures!

It is known that New York is famous for its diners and let it be known that Westway Diner is definitely one of the best!The service is quick and friendly to help you get seated and served in as little time as possible. The food is the real deal. This is the breakfast you have been looking for. If you are like me, it is hard to choose one thing on the menu, and this place won’t disappoint.Highly recommend this place!

This was recommended to us by a hotel staff member as we were staying in Times Square. We were seated right away when we got there and the food comes out FAST. Great atmosphere and great service. We were in and out quick but not rushed out. As we were leaving there was a small wait but they seem to get people seated quickly. If you are in the area, you must check it out!

Review №65

It’s classic brunch spot. The food was okay as expected. The staff was kind too (I made a mistake ordering food, but he asked me to change a couple of times if I wanted).The reason why I give 4 star was..The food came late and also it was too crowded inside.(all staffs were too busy to walk and take orders) I guess they need to have more staffs in the kitchen and dining room during peak time.

Review №66

Great diner with nice prices and tasty food. We have been there twice, liked everything we tried. Portions are big, so we could always share 1 for 2 (could share for 3 if there were 3 of us). Cheesecake in there is delicious and you get a great value for around 6$ if i am not mistaken.We ordered pasta with chicken and there were a lot of chicken and cheese in it (good thing). Liked Matzo balls soup there, first time I tried it and liked it!It is also located nearby Times Square and bus terminal and had always many of tables available when we went there.

Food was good but when I went to pay the guy at the register ripped me off. I paid in cash and he insisted that he gave me the correct change. He was a lier and CHEATED me out of 4.00. Watch the guy at the register. Totally ruined the experience. I hope it was worth it. I let him keep it and came home and posted this review. Con artist at the register. Sheesh….. who does that!

I read about this place and did a proper research. It was definitely worth the time. There a thousands of breakfast joints in Manhattan but this one is a true classic. I expected a queue to be seated and was not disappointed. Thankfully I was quickly accommodated so I can indulge in some proper blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. I was curious and in the mood for experimenting and ordered their eggs Benedict to try. They were served at my table in the full glory of the classic recipe. A 20 minute walking trip not wasted. Highly recommended breakfast diner in the classic 50s style. Service was good and prices were very reasonable. Actually I expected to pay more.

The service was super efficient and our waiter was great. I forgot his name but he works and walks with a lot of urgency which is so good and looking a bit tiring. However my family and I went there, the wait time was only about 10-15 minutes which wasn’t too bad and completely understandable considering how good the restaurant is. I ordered the lumberjack breakfast which was delicious; I got eggs, pancakes and sausage with a cute size cup of orange juice. I wouldn’t definitely return!
