Apparently the original Flatiron diner was a big enough success that they owners have opened this Upper West Side outpost.

Great Happy Hour and Always Fun
by Girls Gotta Dance
I brought my friend to their happy hour. Their milkshakes are addictive. I love the Chocolate Banana. They are 3 bucks between 3-5 and don't forget the tots. You can skip the fries here. You won't miss them. Cool 70's decor, trivia nights. I have had amazing, huge salads here too and they deliver. Lots of choices.
I love their breakfast
by Davidforestieri
I go to Big Daddys Diner almost every Sunday and love it. It is great for breakfast and their eggs are to die for. I would highly reccommend it to anyone.
- Pros: large portions
Big Mac & KFC are better ZERO STARS
by JasonMalfax
I ordered a All American Burger 102 with tater tots & was served a thin burger that was obviously defrosted. Tater tots were soggy. My friend ordered Fried Chicken In A Basket with tater tots, was served burnt small sized wing, thigh, drumstick & half breast. Yuck! Wait staff were in la-la land. We never went back. AVOID AT ALL CO$T. We live in the hood & we know what's good. Go to Jackson Hole.
- Pros: Ambiance?
- Cons: Disgusitng food & service
Not a good place to take your young toddler, there are other places with better food and service
by cjna
food is ok, waitstaff is friendly but slow and restaurant manager (name is Dan) is extremely rude! Also, I ordered a side dish of eggs to be served immediately so my son wont get too restless waiting and get full on the cereal that we brought with us. it took them 20 mins, in other places, theyve brought it out for us in under 5 mins.
Dont come here if you want to watch TV or want to distract your child with the TV. There are numerous other places to go in the Upper east side for brunch but we came here because the last time we were there we were able to get a table right in front of the TV and watch Noggin. Our son is 15 months and the only time he is still is when he watches TV. This is why we hardly ever go to a restaurant, its usually a stressful ordeal. When we get there, we ask for our usual table but since we were a smaller party, they sat us somewhere else with a TV. Before we sat down, we asked the manager (Dan) to change it to a cartoon channel, he says "he MIGHT have a hard time since he cannot physically change the channel, with other diners in the way". I followed up again in a few minutes and he says he cant do it. When I mentioned that that's the only reason why we come here, he yells "come on, we have crayons and balloons". When i told him that "My son eats crayons and he doesnt care about balloons". He shouts this out for all the diners around us to hear, hoping to embarass me. Before we left, I saw him yelling at the top of his lungs at a server. Dont come here unless you want to deal with this type of rude and obnoxious behavior.
- Pros: Ok diner food. Huge selection. TV's everywhere
- Cons: You cannot change the channel of the TV. Extremely rude manager.
