    Scrambled eggs, potatoes, smoked bacon and multi grain toast
    Janeise J.

    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.

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

    Nicer more upscale diner than what you usually think of for a diner. Very clean and well lit with counter or table seating available 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.

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

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

    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 ambience. It's a diner. What do you want? It's a nice diner though. You can go in and enjoy a nice New York diner and this is a try the egg cream awesome.

    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!!!!

    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.

    Double Stack Cinnamon Bun Pancakes

    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. Walking in we were generously welcomed by the mangers and hostess team and promptly sat at a window booth. We got the Double Stack Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, The Home-run Breakfast (not pictured) and the Nova Scotia Smoked Salmon, Scrambled Eggs & Onions.

    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. The inside dining room small and quaint 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. It is rather loud in here, so I don't recommend if you are easily overwhelmed. 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

    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!

    5/27/2026 What could I say about this place that everyone…read moredoesn't know about..... absolutely nothing lol. Always recommend getting a reservation weather calling or walking to the booth. Our wait was at least an hour and a half and were texted when our table was ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating with one bathroom for all to use. We got the viral pancakes and they were everything you'd dream they be and then some for sure very filling and buttery. I got a "pick me up" and it was perfect gave me a beautiful caffeine kick to start the day I recommend for sure. Weather you come for the viral moment this feels like a solid staple in the community with bright music playing everyone kind of everywhere and just a relaxed feel that you can't wait to enjoy after you get seated. Bathroom rating 5/5 very clean for how busy the place is :)

    I've been wanting to try this place out since 2021, but never got the chance. I got here on Monday…read moremorning at around 11:00 am to put my name down for a table of 2 and there was already an hour and 45 minute wait. After running a couple of errands while waiting for the table to be ready, we were seated outside at the patio after an hour and 45 minutes. We ordered the famous honey butter pancakes, the korean wings, and the breakfast sandwich with hash brown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The honey butter pancakes were pretty good but kinda drenched in the butter that made it hard to finish. The korean wings were also alright but the batter to me was kinda thick and heavy and lacked crispiness. The best item we ordered was the breakfast sandwich with hashbrown, scrambled eggs, and sausage. I think the eggs are cooked with cheese, and as someone who typically does not eat cheese, I didn't mind it. I don't know if I'll be back again - I think the concept of an asian twist on the classic diner does sound intriguing but difficult to execute. I also wasn't a big fan of the wait time. If you typically like heavier, diner food then this spot might be the place for you!

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.
