    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nicer more upscale diner than what you usually think of for a diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and well lit with counter or table seating available[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and serving up breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food was good, i orders the bbq burger it was grilled perfectly and loved the bacon and grilled onions but it was missing the bbq sauce so i had it on the side, fries were hot and well seasoned and the service was a bit slow taking 30 minutes to get my food and I think my waiter forgot because something else finished taking care of me but sometimes that's the way things are.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A classic American experience in Manhattan near Central Park.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is called Brooklyn Diner but it's in Manhattan. Good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfy booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Classic dishes. Roasted chicken was a surprise (not tacos or burgers). Delicious, and the portion was huge!

    It's in the tourist area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is spotty. My order had to be adjusted. There were several items they ran out of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's ok if you want the vibe of a diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Scrambled eggs, potatoes, smoked bacon and multi grain toast

    Visited on a Saturday morning. Busy but we were greeted and placed on a list quickly. We had abt a 10 minute wait which wasn't bad. They have a nice courtyard area you can sit in while you wait. Now to the good stuff, the food lol. ...ohemgee the food was great. We ordered the New Yorker breakfast and got the steak and eggs. My new Yorker was standard eggs, potatoes, bacon/ sausage and toast of your choice. All were good but let me tell you, that steak! Was amazing lol. Best steak ive ever had. It came with a green sauce and that was just as good. Med rare was perfect. It had a char but still juicy and tender. I would definitely come back. Wait staff was attentive and manager was making rounds and pleasant. I have no complaints.

    Hidden gem in midtown. Love the atmosphere. Classic diner vibes. Service was polite, helpful and quick. We had about a 15 minute wait before being seated. Menu is good sized and plenty of options. Luna the bartender was fabulous!! Next time we are in New York, we are stopping back!!!!

    Food wasn't bad and quite tasty, but very pricey for what was served. Service was quick and attentive.

    Multiple soup one of the best
    Chef Pedro R.

    Nothing but excellent food I had simple. I had the cheeseburger deluxe. It was excellent. Everything was really good quality beef used to make the hamburger the matzo bowl soup fresh made from scratch. The amount itself is fluffy. Light and delicious. It was really good and wonderful vegetables in the soup very fresh you can tell fish and chips. It's one of the best my wife I've had. She's still eating it and enjoying it and the weight staff excellence the service very friendly, very attentive [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambience. It's a diner. What do you want? It's a nice diner though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can go in and enjoy a nice New York diner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and this is a try the egg cream awesome.

    Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe
    Donna Y.

    Yum yum and yum. The burger was cooked to perfection and on a gluten free bun too! The fries? Other worldly! Absolutely hands down the best fries ever! I wish I could eat them everyday. Service was friendly and we will be back the next time we are in NYC. The ambiance is typical diner - a bit louder but you're in NYC.

    The food... scrumptious! The service - very accommodating ... maitre d'/ manager - Yusuf and our server Rene... always checks on us and making sure all is going well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is fun and very alive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check the place out... you will like the experience....

    Double Stack Cinnamon Bun Pancakes
    Megan G.

    Since we thoroughly enjoyed Trattoria Dell'Arte (The Nose) we knew we wanted to get breakfast at Brooklyn Diner. They're also owned by The Fireman Hospitality Group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in we were generously welcomed by the mangers and hostess team and promptly sat at a window booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the Double Stack Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, The Home-run Breakfast (not pictured) and the Nova Scotia Smoked Salmon, Scrambled Eggs & Onions.

    Chicken pot pie looks good!
    Courtenay O.

    This Brooklyn Diner was only a block from our hotel. We liked the 43rd Street location, so we decided to try this location for lunch. It was a comfortable place to eat. We were seated quickly in a booth for two. Guillermo M. was our wait staff, and he was nice & efficient. I got the chicken pot pie. It was huge and I was stuffed by the time I finished it. It was so good! Husband got a pastrami sandwich. It was not as big as my pot pie, but it was just the right size for him. He was pleasantly full after eating this delicious sandwich. He didn't eat the slaw. He forgot that it was vinegar based & to him it was bitter. We will be back when we visit New York as we'd like to try more items from the menu!

    Smoked Salmon Bagel
    LaToya L.

    We decided to stop into the Brooklyn Diner USA for breakfast because it was in walking distance of our hotel. It was a great choice because the food did not disappoint. We ordered the pastrami, hash, smoked salmon, bagel, pancake, and sunny side up eggs. The smoked salmon bagel was out of this world. The capers gave it a really good flavor. The service was great and it was a great diner experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside dining room small and quaint[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but We will visit again when we're in NYC.

    Found this place through inKind. We were told a 15 minute wait to sit, and waited less than that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is rather loud in here, so I don't recommend if you are easily overwhelmed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good but nothing extraordinary. My group and I all ordered the same. Our server wasn't rude but just did their job. Overheard a manager telling an employee to hurry up in a passive aggressive tone. Not sure if we'll be back

I ordered the Kale Chicken Caesar Salad, which comes with grilled chicken, kale, Caesar dressing, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a huge piece of buttered bread. I also added grilled steak cooked medium because apparently one protein wasn't enough for me. Both the chicken and steak were flavorful, and the steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it. The salad was filling enough to feel like an actual meal rather than just something light. I also ordered the Strawberry Margarita, which was only $10 thanks to their all day, everyday margarita special. And listen, they are NOT playing with that margarita. It was strong but still tasted really good, which is exactly the balance I want from a cocktail. I ate alone and really liked the seating setup. I had a cute little booth that felt perfect for a solo diner, but it would work just as well for two people. The restaurant also has plenty of seating for larger groups, so it seems like an easy choice whether you're eating alone or coming with friends or family. The servers were attentive to me and assisted me quickly. They also checked in on me multiple times. The interior was another highlight. There's a beautiful wall covered with different pieces of artwork that adds a lot of character to the restaurant and makes the space feel much more visually interesting than your typical diner. Overall, this was a great quick meal while I was out running errands. Good food, a surprisingly strong $10 margarita, and a comfortable atmosphere for dining solo. I'd definitely stop in again when I'm in the area.

We loved seeing the pastries on display in the case while we queued for the table to be ready. I had the avocado salad with chicken, and my mom opted for the salted caramel waffle and hash browns. Everything was delicious and huge portions. Our waitress was very slow and didn't check on us much at all, but the great food made up for it. Make sure to stop by here with a reservation!

It was a little pricey, but not terrible. They came by with a bucket asking for tips for the staff to be able to take lessons/classes, but just be prepared they were VERY pressure-y with it. This is separate from the tips from your order. I think this was a good experience to go once, but probably wouldn't come back again unless I had friends visiting from out of town that wanted to go!

With the hopes of avoiding any potential wait time, I decided to stop by on a bright, early Sunday morning at 8:30 AM. There was no line and I was seated immediately, but it was already packed (which indicates the food is top quality). Egg Cream: This chilled beverage has a beautiful appearance, especially the thick foam at the top. The ratio of seltzer, milk, and chocolate syrup were stirred perfectly. It was highly satisfying and a perfect alternative for a traditional breakfast drink. If you are not desiring the chocolate flavor, this specialty drink is also served in vanilla. BBC Omelette: This breakfast plate may have the same initials as the 24-hour news channel, but there is no relation whatsoever. This omelette was stuffed with broccoli, bacon, and cheddar cheese. These are not typically the toppings I order with an omelette, but I was feeling adventurous. It was a wise choice to explore this specialty plate because it surpasses my taste buds by a long shot. I never would have guessed broccoli and melted cheese taste well combined with an egg. A side of hash browns and toast is included. They were the backbone to the breakfast plate. In addition to a great meal, the service was impeccable. After I was seated, multiple servers checked up on me to make sure I wanted a drink. They always passed by and refilled my water glass. Even though the diner was crowded, the service was lightning fast and my drink and eggs arrived in a timely manner. This is a perfect dining experience and I see why they are always busy. #westwaydiner #midtownmanhattan #bbcomelette
