Awesome burgers, defintely above average diner food. I've become addicted to Skylight Diner...it's become a standard stop after a game or show at the Garden, I can see why it was rated Best diner...the burgers are the best around, very juicy & actually have a taste, not like some other diners & coffee shops all over the city. kylight Diner is more of a restaurant experience, the servers are always friendly, the menu offers a wide variey, it's clean, and the food is just really good for diner prices...I definitely reccomend this place

Awesome diner food and great service. I work very close to this place and tried it out one day for lunch. Although it was extremely busy and we had a party of 8, we got seated right away and the service was pretty fast. Also, on more off-hours the service is really instantaneous. It's frigidly cool in there (this is during a horrible hot summer), they have beautiful pastries & cakes to look at if you sit in the front, and it's immaculate. The food is really the best diner food I've had. The veggie burger deluxe is so greasily delicious that it's better than eating the real thing, the tuna melt is AWESOME, and the grilled shrimp on the shrimp caesar is so surprisingly perfect - better than many very fancy restaurants I've been to. Great place!!!

great experience. If you dont know what a great burger tastes like then you have to stop at the skylight diner.Order up a cheeseburger with a side of fries with melted mozzarella and a side of brown gravy for dipping.It doesn't get any better than that.A great place for the whole family.Especially when you know that kids can be picky eaters. Lots of choices for the kids as well as dicriminating adults.Quality of the food is what you would expect in an overpriced fine restaurant and the service is great.Whenever I am in manhattan I make to stop off for a great meal.

User review by johnnyk1278. Since having my first burger there 3 years ago after the car show I've been a regular at this diner since. The service is great and the food unbelievably good. Burgers this juicy are hard to come by especially in Manhattan were the hustle and bustle of it all usually compromises the quality and service expected. Skylight manages to deliver without flaw everytime I'm in there wether it's after the car show at the Javits, a Knick game at the garden, or after a night on the town at 4:30 in the morning. The rating of best diner in Manhattan is well deserved. Keep up the good work.

Best Diner in Manhattan. Eating the grilled chicken over fettuccini with pesto sauce reminds me of my trip to my hometown Sicily. Their wraps are mouth watering, all thier food is so good you forget that you're eating in a diner. Not to mention the prices, their food is as good as their prices.....and the atmoshere is warm, friendly and family oriented. The service is amazing......very quick. All this put together creates the diner that was voted best is Manhattan.......the Skylight.

good food. The food is decent but the service may be slow sometimes. I have ordered a variety of things from this dinner and I can say the they have all been good. We have our holiday party catered by them and the prices for catering are reasonable. The only thing about this diner is the dessert, the cakes are not fresh and taste stale, I would not recommend any of their cakes but if you are not a dessert person then this is a good place to try if you are in the area.
