great turkey burgers & other diner food

by pickyshopper

This is one of those diners that looks like a vintage diner but really is new--maybe 10 years old? But that's okay because the food is very good (much better than the coffeeshops that used to be everywhere in Manhattan but are now far & few between). The portions are really generous. I've ordered in more than eaten in, and lately they do tend to get some of the order wrong. For example, they forget to give you the condiments you've specifically asked for your burger; lately they've forgotten to bring part of the order (at least they didn't charge for it). The turkey burgers are the best I've ever had. Also good is the chicken souvlaki on pita bread.

great food/ problems with delivery

by hungryperson

the best diner food on the west side but they haven't gotten a delivery order right yet. much better idea to eat there, fabulous food. i just wish that they would check their delivery orders before they send them out. the deliveries are fast but not right. i hope they can improve on this because the food is the best

• Pros: food, portion, seating
• Cons: delivery, delivery, delivery

MMMMMMM Breakfast!!!

by wonko_the_sane99

Nice neon retro design to the place to stir up the Norman Rockwell images in you. Followed by consistently friendly service that never fails to disappoint. The highlight (for me at least) is the breakfast, which kicks all kinds of butt no matter what you choose. You haven't lived till you've tried their scrambled eggs, sausage, and home fries in the brisk early morning hours.

• Pros: breakfast, warm service, retro setting

good grub food

by Xanthe

Though there's nothing particularly extraordinary about this place (besides once spotting Richard Dreyfuss eating breakfast behind me), I frequent it, nonetheless, because the grub food is dependable, and the servings are generous. Weekend brunch is often the best meal - the place gets packed by local families, old folks, and students. It gives you a real sense of the neighborhood. The atmosphere is bright and clean, with large windows, where you can get a good view of the corner of Broadway and 100th Street, a place which is now rapidly changing. My favorite food items are their strawberry milkshake, bacon cheese burger, and guacamole.

Their orange juice is also very fresh. And, unlike most diners, they serve a fair share of vegetarian dishes.

Great local diner

by ericashirin

Every time my family comes to visit they want to go to this diner for a casual yet delicious dinner. Of the many times we have been here, we have all (including family friends) enjoyed our meals, including Thanksgiving dinner! The ambience is also more funky and stylish than most local diners.
