Tasty (high priced) diner food
4 Star Rating: Recommended

05/19/2008 Posted by funny_fringe

I've eaten at Empire Diner on three different occasions (two with others and once by myself) and I've never experienced this terrible service that everyone speaks of. The waiters I've had were pleasant and friendly, and joked around with the people at my table. I've eaten there during Sunday brunch, during Friday dinner, and once in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. I never had slow service or was yelled at by anyone who worked in the restaurant. Sure, the place is located in a trendy neighborhood and the people who work there like to talk and be social with each other, but this has never affected my meal or the service I've received from Empire Diner. I give them four stars because the food is a tad too expensive for diner food, but it's still good.

Pros: Fun decor, late night food

Cons: A bit on the pricey side

Editor's Review

A 24-hour classic in the old rail-car style serving the food you'd expect: eggs, blue-plate specials, sandwiches and hot fudge sundaes.  See the full editorial review.
