The food was great. Quick diner food, exactly what I was looking for. The people really stood out to me there. The people who work there get along so well; they're joking around with each other and it really put me at ease. The owner Michael is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I went in on my own and he struck up such a great conversation with me and got to know me. The next day I went back and he personally cut me some fruit even though it wasn't technically on the menu because he remembered my order from the day before. I can't say enough great things about him. Please visit this diner, you won't be disappointed. read more

My friend and I initially planned on going to a big dinner before seeing a Broadway show, and we decided to pick something closer to the theatre (portions here are large, but they're smaller than the set menu place we were eyeing.) Stepping inside felt like taking a time machine. The interior is very retro. I love the bar and the comfy booths and the wood. I ordered a spinach and feta omelette and she ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla. We split a large, lush slice of Strawberry Cheesecake. Portions were hefty and yum. Service was attentive. It was pretty busy even at 5pm on a Wednesday! read more

I had the Open Face Turkey sandwich. The turkey itself was very good but unfortunately it was smothered in a rich brown gravy that over shadowed the more delicate turkey flavor. I asked if they had a yellow or chicken gravy but they didn't. It also didn't come with some have a cranberry relish. Mashed potatoes were dense. read more

Why didn't I read the reviews before eating here? Nice waitstaff . Bathroom was ample given the age and condition of the restaurant. The reason for the rating: not using 100% meat in your pastrami is disgusting. Don't bother putting it on the menu or raise the price for real meat. Yuck read more

Classic wood nyc diner look. Friendly staff. Service is pretty quick. Although the cups of coffee are small, they refill quickly. Meatloaf sandwich on a Kaiser roll is what you would expect from a diner. Soft meaty meatloaf. No ketchup glaze on the meatloaf. Fries have a soft potatoey interior as suggested from the photo. I think the side of gravy was pretty important to the overall meal. I got through most of it. Overall, pretty traditional American diner experience. Price point is a little high which is to be expected in midtown. read more

The food was just very bland and not super appetizing. The omelette was the best, but the breakfast burrito was pretty bland. The Tabasco and hot sauce on the table also tasted very watery and had no flavor at all. The French toast and pancakes were fine. The service was good and it was easy to walk in for a group of four on a Sunday at 11 AM. read more

We would likely not go back. It was OK. We were passing by and hungry and tired of looking for a spot. They brought me a ham/mushroom omelette instead of cheese/mushroom. Amusingly, when I asked... and said I was ok with the ham as long as it had the cheese... they took it back and gave it a quick microwave with 2 pieces of orange cheese slapped on top. All that was fine. It was really just the super mushy potatoes that grossed us out. The service was otherwise friendly. It's got a tiny long time diner vibe. Nothing super notable. read more

Food: did not taste freshly made. Our table had 3 orders of fried chicken with fries. The fries on all plates were only luke warm. The chicken was over cooked and the pieces were as small as Cornish hens. Diner: The dining area was very tight, and the chairs were very uncomfortable. Our server was GREAT AND VERY friendly! read more

My friends and I ordered the seafood platter that consisted of scallops, shrimp, and fish (cod I believe). While the cod was tasty enough, the shrimp was black and rubbery and the scallops completely bland and unremarkable. The diner itself was busy and hustling, maybe a local favorite? It had your everyday, who's who pictures on the wall, and crowded booths. The greeter barely looked at us as he took us back to the table, and never looked back. Then there's the waiter. The. absolute. Worst!!! He did not listen, left multiple times before we could complete our order, and never, at all checked to see if we had everything, or if the order was correct- which it wasn't. The absolute worst... I didn't even bother taking pictures, I just wanted to leave. read more

Very local established spot, we went for breakfast and got in immediately, the food was great nothing fancy just simple breakfast food! Was a bit pricey for not being fancy. If you're looking for something fancy and the face price there's better. The staff and service was phenomenal read more

What a great little diner! Full of clearly locals eating breakfast for dinner (like you should)! Decent French toast and eggs cooked just like I asked. Folks who work there v nice. Friend said pesto burger was just right! read more

The service was not the best. We went back to back mornings to have the bacon, eggs, French toast, and the Home fries and each day it was a different price. Not sure how they work their prices, but it seems that if you don't see your bill, they're just gonna add things in it, not cool. I'm a US vet and I would think that most establishments in New York City would offer military discount, but they don't, but they do offer a discount if you stay at a nearby hotel. Food is bland and especially the home fries. Coffee is strong for those coffee connoisseurs. The staff look's upset when you ask them for service. The place looks like a typical Greek restaurant but not one of the best ones I have been too. I enjoy and love going to Greek Diners but this is one I wouldn't recommend. Good luck. read more

We just had family visiting from out of the country ; I wanted to share an 'authentic NYC diner experience' with them. Applejack Diner was perfect for so many reasons. First, the ambiance: we were warmly welcomed and seated immediately at an open booth, away from other guests. We were excited to explain how all the multiple photos on the wall were recognized visitors (also the Winter Olympics were on TV, and we were able to follow along!). Our waitress must be a the maternal figure of Applejack Diner; she made us feel right at home and as if we've known each other for a long time. She warmly explained that the portions were substantial, we can all easily share. As promised, the portions of our orders were respectively generous: our guests (a couple) were satisfied with sharing a chicken caesar wrap with a side Greek salad. I had the heartwarming chicken soup, perfect for the stormy winter weather hitting the city. My husband had his usual turkey club platter, which I also got to enjoy. Additionally, there's a small plate with coleslaw and house made pickles - all signature Diner fare and much appreciated. Finally, since it was Valentine's Day, we celebrated with a generous glass of bubbly. It must be noted that the proximity of Applejack Diner in the heart of the Midtown theatre district made for an easy segue for the mandatory visit to Times Square (!!!) read more

Not my first time to Applejack Diner and it won't be my last! It's a small diner and usually always busy but you get seated in a good time. The manager or owner is always really cool and friendly! The food is always great and the prices are fair! The restaurant is clean and cozy. I ordered the Pancakes with sausage, bacon and ham! It's so good I recommend it to any breakfast lover! read more

Great hospitality. Pleasant diner atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was very tasty. We had the lunch Gyro platter special, one was beef, the other was chicken. Ample servings for both of us. Tzatziki sauce was good. The pita was soft and fluffy. The fries were golden brown and cooked perfectly. The entire meal came out piping hot. Highly recommend! read more

I didn't even know this place existed and it was around the corner from the hotel. We stayed up all weekend long. Breakfast was good solid breakfast food. The coffee was perfect diner coffee. The staff was attentive. The prices were reasonable. My only concern? I got the French toast with bacon. Two pieces of French toast. Regular sandwich bread sized and it was $18. I understand New York prices by sure. But a third piece would've made it bearable. I still ate it all. I would still be back. read more

A very convenient location, right on Broadway in Midtown! I was pleasantly greeted and seated at a comfortable table/booth. Everyone who waited on me was very friendly and had on a nice smile. The prices are about normal for the area. The omelet had was large. It was not terribly tasty, but it was filling. A great, friendly diner in a good spot , with pretty decent food! read more

Small diner with a mom and pop feel. We stopped in mid morning on a Thursday so it wasn't too crowded and we were sat right away. A very tired looking and unenthusiastic older gentleman took our drink order. We received our drinks promptly and our waitress was just as quick to take our food order. I ordered a spinach omelette a with cottage cheese just as it was listed on the menu, my husband got 2 eggs over easy and both came with home fries and toast I've made eggs where you whisk in cottage cheese to make the eggs creamier and increase the protein. That is not what this was. My breakfast was a spinach omelette that was folded over about a cup of cold cottage. Which in turn made the omelette cold. The hone fries we're mutilated potatoes that may have come frozen in a bag. It wasn't even worth taking a photo of. My review speaks for itself. My husband's eggs were cooked over easy as he requested and his potatoes were just as mutilated and bland as mine. The waitress did not check in on us and we had to hunt her down to cash out $47.40 was our total. We checked out at the entrance. There was a 3% up charge because we paid by credit card. The same gentleman that greeted us so smiley when we first arrived, barely looked at us when cashing us out but was very purposeful about greeting the next party coming in. We stopped here because it was close to the midtown Hilton in Manhattan. It was unimpressive and a bit disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it nor do I think I'd give it a second try. It's hard to get breakfast wrong - they manage to do it with ease. read more

Quick stop in after a work out here. Huge menu selection. I got a chicken omelette(mediocre). Anything else added was extra $. I would go back to try the bison burger. Another bland omelette, no. read more

Applejack Diner - Kinda bland omelette compared to home but hey it's NYC - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

Friendly diner right next to our hotel. Friendly staff, good food (large menu) and amazingly fast service!

Nice convenient location in the theatre district and thankfully not very crowded so no wait to get a table. Staff and service were good. Been here for both late lunch and dinner. The menu is plentiful with so many options to choose from - whether you want breakfast all day, lunch or dinner. can't go wrong with whatever you select. Seating indoors and outdoors. There are a couple of tvs if one wants to watch sports game while dining. They have happy hour specials as well and desserts look good. Have to remember to save room next time. Will be back! read more

I had a quick turn around trip to Ny and found this gem of a diner with a lot of history. The food was quickly made and rather delicious. Something that stood out was that the service was fast and very accommodating. The ambiance was calm and professional and I like the fact the servers most of the time just yell the order back to the kitchen. I felt that was very old school and I liked that. Kinda of overpriced if you're from out of state but again it's New York not their fault. I would eat here again it's in a great location. read more

It's a bad sign when the host is also the waitress and cashier. 1st issue: the coffee was small, as in really small and only a whopping 3 creamere!! Yes, I could've asked the hostess/waitress/cashier to get more creamer, but by this time, I was just already fed up. The coffee was awful!! I couldn't drink it at all. We asked for water, and the hosr/waitress bought, of course, only 1 water ( go figure). We must have waited at least 15 minutes, although it's light in how many customers they have. Oh well, here we go.. The omelet was good. It has bits of sausage but enough. I'm unsure of the cheese, it wasn't really melted which leads me to believe that it's something else. The bread was good, if that helps. The hostess/waitress/cashier was very nice, considering it was my first and last time. It is what it is. read more

Perfect NYC diner right here! We were on the hunt for a good spot for breakfast. Nothing too fancy or tourist-y and this place was perfect. You can tell the whole family works here and they pride themselves on their business. I didn't get any pictures of the food because it looked too good and I was (at that point) so hungry. Great spot for breakfast!! read more

Applejack Diner - Menu - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

Watch out! The portions of everything are huge. No way we could finish sandwiches or ice cream. Breakfast is more normal but huge sausage and tons of potatoes. As others note it has a huge menu but stuff coming out of the kitchen was all good. No duds. Overall quality is what you would expect in a diner. Breafast fare and lunch fare were good. We never did dinner here. Our breakfast for two was good ranging from $50 to $60 which seems high but hey, it's New York. Lunch was similary expensive as was a late night ice cream dessert. We love this place as it's got a good comfy feel to it and the people inside are VERY friendlhy. I will be back but now I know to order less as more. You won't have much trouble making the credit card minimum of $10 unless you just order a beer! read more
