Today, they were perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a diner before. Delivery the day after the big storm… I was expecting it would take forever. They were quick! The fries were crispy, as I requested and, still hot. My burger was done exactly right. And the wings were spot on. I don’t often get excellent delivery from a diner, I’m a realistic New Yorker so I’m also not expecting it. So, given this recent experience, I feel I should say something good about a meal enjoyed, simple as it was.

I placed an order through Seamless. It’s been 90 minutes and the food still has not arrived. I called the restaurant and was told the order«already left.» I’m 5 blocks away. What more need be said.

Had lunch here with my lady and family here today and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted and seated immediately, and our server came right over. I didn’t catch his name but he was a perhaps Hispanic gentleman with a lot of pizzaz. He took our drink order and drinks came out right away. I opted for the Gorgonzola salad with chicken and my lady had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Phenomenal! It was so so good. My salad was perfect, as well; light and crispy, I didn’t want anything too heavy. I saved that for the side of onion rings. Crispy, crunchy and delicious. Oh, and the food flew out in under 10 minutes. The restaurant was pretty close to full, and definitely full when we arrived, so kudos to the back of the house. Portions were large, I took some home. Overall prices were quite reasonable. Sure, it’s not the Four Seasons, but for the price, and fast, friendly service, I will definitely come back and eat here.

Perhaps best diner food I’ve had and I’m a native New Yorker. Spend way too much money here. Friendly; quick service except when they’re swamped and then it’s quick considering. They swing with Seamless so sometimes get a litter backed up dealing with that. Thy can be a little anal about where you sit– they seem to always be expecting a rush– so expect to be seated at the smallest table that will accommodate or the counter. Not unreasonable considering they frequently get groups and it’s not a large joint. Coffee is strong and amazingly consistent. Not the finest, but I make French press or Italian stovepot at home so I’m a harsh critic. Liberal with refills even if they sometimes nickel and dime a bit on small extras or substitutions. Try the Greek burger. Very well prepared with some veggies mixed in to the beef. Excellent fries with skin on them.

This mediocre diner epitomizes food near Columbia University: nothing to write home about, and kind of expensive. The omelettes are bland, made with watered-down eggs and egg shells. Most brunch items come with potatoes and toast: the potatoes will sometimes have a huge chunk that doesn’t cook all the way through. Toast is hard to mess up so theirs is fine. There are a few other options in the area if you want brunch(Community comes to mind). If you’re willing to compromise on flavor to save some money, also don’t come here because you won’t save money.

Food is okay. Delivery is terrible.

I ordered a classic burger and the waiter asked me, fries? I said«sure» but in fact, I needed to pay $ 3 extra but the burger was only $ 7. Of course he didn’t mention it at all so we thought it was the fries that usually come with burger. When we got the check, they included 18% services charge to the bill even though we were just 2 people and it was just a low-class restaurant. Will never go there again.

Came here with my roommate on a Saturday afternoon. After wandering to several bagel places with heavy lines, we were starving and landed in front of Manchester Diner. We were seated quickly and both ordered the bagels with lox. I wasn’t expecting much, considering it was a diner bagel, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t anything special, but definitely did the trick. They only offered two types of bagels, plain and sesame, but again, what can you expect. Service was attentive, and we were in and out pretty quickly, which, in our case, was a good thing. The space was small but pretty crowded, which leads me to believe its a popular neighborhood destination. Would like to try some of their lunch plates!

A classic New York diner, and it’s good at what it does best – chicken fingers, chicken souvlaki, and french fries. The service consistently exceeds my expectations, and they seem to genuinely value the happiness of each customer. If a diner is what you’re looking for, you’ve stumbled upon a great one.

Had the French Toast with Blueberries and sausage and the banana pancakes. French Toast was made with light and airy Challah bread — nothing fancy but the blueberries made it a little more special. Really good. The wife ate way more of the pancakes than she usually does. She let me sample some and they were very good. The service was perfect and the short wait was no big deal. It was a hot day and it could have been cooler inside but I’d hope this isn’t a standard issue. We’d go back — if it weren’t over 300 miles away. Next year perhaps.

Ordered the cheddar cheese omelet. Hesitant coming here because of the 3 star rating, but nevertheless chose to take the plunge. Reviewing as we eat: Service was good and courteous. Food was alright but mine was a bit drab. I would rate overall at 3. My friend ordered the Mediterranean omelette. He says it was tasty and well balanced. He would rate it at 3.5 Overall rating between us two is(3.5+3)÷2

I really do like this spot. I usually order delivery, but when I am in there the waiters are very nice, as are the managers. The food comes out really quickly, even when order for delivery. I order off of Grub Hub and it always arrives a full 45 min before they time estimated. Everything is usually very good! It gets crowded on weekends, so sometimes there is a wait. There is a good breakfast deal if you get there early enough. Me like!

SURPRISINGLY tasty chili! I love my chili, and when I saw they had some on the menu, and I was starving, I decided to give it a try. The chili has this warm cinnamon flavor(weird initially, but I got used to it, and it was nice), and I asked for the rice on the side. It was pretty well flavoured! Now, it might be my surprise that’s giving this diner an extra star, but it’s also that they let a homeless and/or very dishelveled man come in to buy coffee and didn’t charge him. Now, he insisted on paying, but they weren’t going to charge him. He sat and was able to get out of the frigid temperatures outside, so they’re ok in my book!

I used to live right around this place, and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t tried it for a long long time. The waiters are very friendly, the gentleman at the counter has a very good sense of humor. Decent food, nice ambient. The brunch here is not like crazily good, but the place is always packed on weekend mornings. I still come here just for a cup of coffee and do my readings here. Love it.

Food is just okay. I’ve ordered delivery from these guys several times and it’s usually pretty reliable, but now I won’t be returning. An order was very late, which is understandable, however when I called to cancel, the staff member who picked up was unnecessarily rude. First, calling a woman«honey» after already being snide doesn’t win you any points. Second, if a customer says they want to cancel, guess what won’t sway their decision… arguing with them. In sum: buddy, your food ain’t worth your ‘tude.

I really like this diner for two reasons: 1. The food here is pretty good. It’s not like to-die-for, but if you’re hungry this is it. My friend ordered the club chicken sandwich and it was really tasty. It’s still diner food, not like anything gourmet, but it works. 2. For the price you pay, the portions are humongo. Be sure to go on Fridays for ~$ 10 lunch special– featuring soup and sandwich or pasta. 3. The service here is not the best, we waited before we got seated because all the waiters/waitresses were busy, but they certainly made up for it when they were refilling our coffee and water for tea constantly. The food also came relatively quickly. I would come here for a bite if you really like diner food or are just on a budget because this will certainly be a good choice(shout out to all my college students!).

New York must have thousands of diners throughout the city, and to randomly find a good one for a party of four picky eaters, it’s indeed a good luck charm. We chose this one because we were hungry, no Unilocal reviews intervention. Brunch was the call of the jungle. The menu it’s your average diner cuisine, full of pancakes, bagels, waffles and frittatas. And good coffee, I may add. I had the tutti frutti waffles and I loved it. Fruits were super fresh and big waffle on the dot. My travel companions had bagel with salmon(humongous portion), fried eggs with fries and sausage. All good. Thanks to this review I will stop in this diner next time I’m in the city. By the way, NY in August it’s like a love letter.

Came here for a random lunch. Order es the French toast with a side of bacon it was okay. My husband ordered the brunch eggs Benedict, the ham did not looked that cooked. The home fries looked cooked a few hours ago. The milk, orange juice and coffee was great. Will try again another time to see what else might be a better option.
