We had low expectation due to being a Diner in Times Square, and we were pleasantly suprised with the experience. Excellent service from the hosts team to the Server, and the food was spectacular. Food was super fresh, and the taste belongs to an upscale restaurant rather than your average Diner. Thank you Ash and the team! read more

The best thing was the service but for the reviews and prices I thought this place would be so much better than it was. $15 for a single pancake that barely took up half the plate, and $23 for a omelette that was just mid and not very large. Plus it felt like the a/c was out. I hope the other dishes are better but this was a bit disappointing read more

Good morning from NYC! As I'm singing " where Brooklyn at lol " To start our 24 hours in the city we kicked off breakfast at The Brooklyn Diner. Party of 5, we were able to get sat and enjoy coffee while they made our orders fresh. I love the feel of the retro diner and the vibe was high energy which I'm sure my group enhanced lol. Breakfast was good. I wish they had better coffee options or my ex here to make my coffee like he used too ( I think I'm spoiled ) lol. But overall we left full and happy! Service was 10/10! read more

I made a reservation at the Brooklyn Diner as I was traveling with a picky eater and they had plenty of options. We were seated right away and to our surprise, the AC was broken. We were told it was not broken, just not working all the way, which means broken. During the entire meal, we were very hot. They had fans going and seemed to be doing what they could to improve the temperature, but it was hot. The service was nothing special. Our waitress was more concerned with watching the World Cup game and getting up close and personal with someone who was seated at the bar. She did not check on us much. In addition, the food took a long time to come out and they weren't even that busy. When the food came, it was delicious. The burrito bowl was packed full of flavor and the chicken tenders and fries were good as well. They have a large menu, so it's great for those with different preferences. I reserved via OpenTable and it must have notified them of my birthday. They gave me a free piece of cake which was very kind. read more

Brooklyn Diner - Burrito Bowl - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

After traveling all morning, we checked into our hotel and came to Brooklyn Diner for brunch. Ordered the pastrami hash with eggs and toast, and their burger. The hash is unique and very good with the pastrami cut into small pieces, not shredded. Comes with home fries that are better than most as they include onion and green pepper. I got some nice whole grain toast - the bread was excellent. We expected just another burger, but honestly their hamburger was the most flavorful burger we've had anywhere. Not sure how they are doing that, maybe they are grinding their own meat mixture. The coffee is rich and dark, which we really appreciated. They also make a decent milkshake. Service was just ok, we had to ask for things like ketchup and butter for the toast that should have been delivered with the food. Overall - a good experience. read more

Great place for a steak and fries. Actually, the fries are probably the best ones of the Western hemisphere. Just amazing! And it's just a few steps away from Times Square. I is nice to be able to sit down and be served instead of having to ingurgite a greasy pizza on the street. read more

I visited Brooklyn Diner hoping for a great experience, especially since it came recommended through a cashback app. Unfortunately, my visit was mixed. When I arrived, my server was chatting at the bar talking about cocktails and didn't notice me for a while. She apologized once she realized, which I appreciated, but the service continued to feel inattentive. I ordered a three‑cheese omelette and specifically mentioned that I don't eat bacon or sausage. When the dish arrived, it had bacon on top. I'm not someone who sends food back unless absolutely necessary, but in this case I had to. The server seemed frustrated and implied that all omelettes come with bacon, which made the interaction uncomfortable. I also asked about the toast, since it didn't look like the challah bread I'm used to. Instead of explaining, the server discussed my question with a colleague within earshot, which felt unprofessional and a bit embarrassing. The bright spot of the visit was another staff member -- a woman with blond hair -- who approached me, apologized sincerely, and offered pastries to make things right. Her kindness really stood out and is the reason I'm giving this review a fair rating instead of a negative one. Overall, the food was fine once corrected, and the restaurant has potential, but the service experience was disappointing. I hope this was just an off day, because the staff member who stepped in showed what good hospitality can look like. read more

Still a good diner that was convenient to our hotel. Good food and service. I got non breakfast food, which is rare for me in a diner, but the grilled cheese & tomato soup was a great choice and I'd already had their delicious French toast. read more

I honestly don't want to tell anyone to go to this place. I don't want to tell anyone about their food! This place has unbelievable CHICKEN POT PIE! Okay okay I said it. This place is too good to sleep on. The food, service, atmosphere are fantastic! But the chicken pot pie is to die for! It's as big as your head and way larger than your stomach! Go! But for the love of all things holy don't back it up like every other amazing restaurant in NYC! I'll be back! read more

It's a nice establishment. I've been eyeing this place for sometime, I was initially going to wait at least until I found a date or a companion, but no such luck and didn't feel like waiting so I just went for it solo. I definitely could've chose a better day because inside the place wasn't much a relief from the blazing sun. Doesn't matter for now. The restaurant was fairly large and didn't seem overly crowded. Despite that I was left to wait 10 minutes until someone came around to finally take my order. Service didn't seem too attentive here compared to other places I've been in. Thankfully for them the food is the savior of the place. I ordered the BBQ burger lunch special which came with fries, coleslaw (that I didn't even touch) and fries along with an apple pie with ice cream for desert. I also had a root beer float which was delightful for a whole 3 minutes before the ice cream scoop on it melted flat. Probably would've lasted longer if the outside temperature wasn't 95 and the room temperature wasn't 80. Now that I got the negatives out of the way, the food was delicious. The burger was prime in texture and taste, absolutely filling that you do get your money's worth out of the burger. The fries were salted well, though I do wish I was also served napkins to brush off the salt on my fingers. The apple pie slice was delectable as it was served with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream which was a great help to offset the fresh heat from the Apple pie. Pricing of the stuff here was steep. My whole order came up to $45 and I only had a few dollars left over to tip so that's $50 for lunch right there. My curiosity was satisfied for it was a decent stay to eat at this place, but the service could be better, especially with the cost of food in this diner. read more

If you're looking for a great breakfast spot in the Theater District, this is it! It's a quaint, vintage throwback diner with a really cool aesthetic. The staff is super friendly, and the service is both quick and accurate. Definitely recommend grabbing an omelet with potatoes and a NY bagel! read more

Food and service very good. Nice portions overall very happy with them. Standard fare and Prices commensurate with your location

It is the epitome of a flashy diner with nothing really to show for except looking like a diner. Ordered: Two eggs any style with potatoes, bacon and bread on the side. ($21) 3/5 Even if the plate was the size of starter plate I'd still have a gripe about the proportions here. For $21 dollars I was shocked by the amount of food that was not on my plate. And the meal was mediocre at best. You always hope for the best at these places but sometimes it is going to be exactly what you think it is. Chocolate Milk: 2/5 - Gobsmackingly sweet. If a parent gave this to their child they'd be boucning off the walls all day, or worse, they might actually think its also too sweet. Service: 5/5 - It was commendable. We went on Christmas Eve. Despite their continuous rush they seemed to be flipping tables quickly so we were able to be seated wo a resvervation no problem. Our meal also came very fast which is always appreciated. Breakfast isn't really my thing any way read more

This Reuben was AMAZING!!! They use house made thick cut pastrami they melts in your mouth. Fries are extra, but I recommend those as well -- very crispy with a light rosemary seasoning. read more

In a location like this you might be concerned about a tourist trap. And while the venue does cater to travellers, as is reflected the prices, the food and service were wonderful! Ash, our server, was attentive, helpful, and very personable. The pastrami sandwich and matzah ball soup were excellent - considerably better than more reputable delis we've tried in NYC. read more

Not sure why their rating is not higher. I would give them all 5 stars for food, service and ambiance. After arriving late this past Thursday into NYC from a delayed flight we were starving. Brooklyn Diner is next door to our hotel, the Casablanca, and we just wanted something simple to eat. The diner was closing in 30 minutes, but the host welcomed us warmly and said no problem, we can sit at the bar and no rush. There were still a few customers in the restaurant, and the staff were not rushing them. The bartender was awesome (wish I caught his name) and suggested Nona's meatball for an appetizer and the pastrami Rubin sandwich that we can share. The meatball and the marinara sauce was on point. I just wanted to eat the sauce. The Rubin was moist, delicious and not fatty or oily. The cold slaw was light and was tangy to complement the sandwich. We decided to eat at the diner again after a long day yesterday at the US Open. Once again, we were warmly greeted and we ate at the bar. This time our bartender was Louis. Great personality and had a great conversation with him. We ordered the southern biscuit with strawberry jam and honey, chicken soup and patty melt. The biscuit was soft, buttery and warm. Just the right amount of sweetness and we truly enjoyed it. The chicken soup had a very clear broth that had perfect amount of seasons and was very comforting. The shredded chicken was tender and the vegetables still had a nice bite. I truly enjoyed it. My husband patty melt was very good. He thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend eating here. read more

A Nostalgic Gem with Incredible Food! From the moment we walked into this beautifully decorated, nostalgic diner, we knew we were in for a treat. I made a reservation for a party of six, and even though we arrived a little early, the staff was incredibly accommodating and seated us right away without a problem. Outstanding Service We had an absolutely delightful server! They were incredibly knowledgeable, patiently answering all of our questions about menu favorites, and provided top-notch customer service from start to finish. It really made the whole experience that much better. Delicious, Authentic Food The kitchen serves up delicious, authentic, and very well-portioned dishes. Our group ordered a large variety of items, and every single person raved about their meal! Some of the absolute standouts included: -The giant meatball -The Reuben sandwich, featuring fantastic house-made pastrami -Classic, perfectly blended milkshakes Comforting, rich matzah ball soup We all left with full, happy bellies and are already looking forward to our next visit. I highly recommend stopping by if you want great food and a wonderful atmosphere! read more

I've never spent much time in Time Square the entire time I lived here, but now I am exploring the city like a tourist. We tried this place out after traveling all day and this place did not disappoint, but will warn you the prices are high. You're in Time Square, it's gonna cost you. I ordered their signature chicken noodle soup and my mom had the cheeseburger and fries. Both dishes executed perfectly. I loved the chicken noodle soup and the fresh veggies and shredded chicken was all very fresh and flavorful. The challah toast was dry though. I'd consider coming back here if needing a solid meal in a casual location. Lots of good people watching too! read more

A night in NYC always calls for a stop at the Brooklyn Diner, one of my longtime favorites from when I lived in the Northeast. I'm so glad I went back because it didn't disappoint. My server, Gabriela M., was amazing and friendly. I followed her recommendations and went with the shrimp tacos, and they absolutely satisfied my palate; fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The side of guacamole was a little taste of heaven. Great dining experience as expected read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food here especially being a diner. But I've come to learn that diners in NYC have some of the best food - even gourmet standards. Went here after a comedy show so it was past 8:30 and the place was only partly full which was great as we were seated immediately. We had some fun with the mirrors there - got some fun photos sitting next to them looking at ourselves. I ordered the pollo cubano and it was amazing! First of all it came with this very gourmet presentation with the chicken stacked over the Spanish rice topped with the caramelized onions and pico de gallo and a side of lemon - I was very impressed! And it was quite delicious- the textures and depth of flavors in each bite - mmm mmm mmmm. I was hungry too and I ate the whole thing! Very satisfying. The hubs ordered their famous hot dog the 15-bite frankfurter which is huge and comes with sauerkraut and side of fries. He enjoyed and it and it was filling too. We were both very satisfied! Service was friendly and efficient. Overall great experience! read more

Now let me tell you, walking in through those fancy spinny doors was an experience all by itself. Once I figured out how the thing worked, baby, I was FLYING. Somebody should've put a speed limit on me. We were seated immediately, and our server was absolutely wonderful, kind, attentive, and on top of everything. We love a server who knows what's going on and doesn't leave you sitting there wondering if you've been forgotten. My daughter and I both went for the cheeseburger with fries, and I added an Oreo shake because apparently I believe in treating myself. That shake was DELICIOUS. The cookie pieces mixed throughout really tied the whole thing together. Every sip had me thinking, "Yep, this was the right decision." The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the seating situation. It wasn't crowded because there were too many people, it was crowded because those tables were practically holding hands. Baby, I like a little personal space! I don't need to know what the person at the next table ordered or accidentally become part of their dinner conversation. Give Ted some breathing room! My burger was also a little undercooked for my liking. Nothing completely inedible, and the seasoning was still on point, but I'd definitely prefer it cooked a little more next time. The fries, though? PERFECT. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, salty enough to keep me reaching back into the bowl like I had no home training. Despite the few little hiccups, we had a great time. Good food, great service, and an Oreo shake that deserves its own standing ovation. We'll absolutely be back, just hopefully with a little more elbow room next time! read more

The line was shorter than other places nearby so we gave this place a try before our show. They seemed understaffed and the staff did not seem well trained. Buns for customers were stored in a tomato box, and then used for a customer's sandwich. The same staff switched from sweeping to line cook without changing gloves too. The food was alright, and I had no complaints. read more

We met a friend for lunch here. It was our first time. Our waiter was Ashraf. He was friendly and helpful with menu items. He didn't rush us and was there when we needed his attention. Our friend ordered onion rings and the footlong hotdog with no bun. I got the tuna salad, with cheese & lettuce on challah bread with slaw. Husband got the cheeseburger & fries. We liked the booths and decor. It felt like a diner. Service was quick, and the food was good. I like my slaw creamy, and didn't eat the vinegar based slaw served here. But someone else might like it a lot. Husband enjoyed his burger and fries, Friend liked the hot dog and onion rings and I enjoyed my tuna salad. read more

First meal after landing in New York and we needed a place to go that had a restroom. This restaurant is clean and very cozy. It has a diner feel to it. Service wasn't great but our food made it. Ordered the hot pastrami and oddly enough it does not come with fries so I added a basket. The pastrami on its own was great. It melted in your mouth and was delicious. It was stuffed between two pieces of bread with no condiments. Fries were hot and delicious. The rest of the food was okay. Convenient location being in Times Square. read more

Can not accommodate gluten allergy at all. No gluten free options and fryer is shared . Not an option for people with allergies.

I came here for dinner. Brooklyn Diner USA is a modern diner with retro decor serves large portions of classic American dishes like hot dogs and chicken pot pie. Their chicken pot pie is their signature dish and sold out very quickly. The food I ordered all tasted delicious . This place does get very packed and busy. Friendly and attentive services. Because it gets really busy during peak hours, the food did take quite a while. But overall, everything was good and this is a very good spot for burgers!

Brooklyn Diner is between 3 and 4 Stars for me. I was telling a Yelp friend about the Huge piece of Key Lime Pie I had here and I unknowingly had an allergic reaction. Bottom line I insisted my daughter have lunch with me once when I was visiting before I moved here. The portions were so huge but back then I had a bigger appetite! So after I moved here I came for the huge pieces of pie and just made it a meal! I feel like service would have been better. If you're one of many tourists having lunch they figure you're not returning! Maybe that's just the way I was treated or it was because I just ordered dessert! Waiting to be seated takes forever. That's another reason I don't eat here anymore. The high points are delicious food and huge portions. To me it's worth the price. read more

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was a little off. The host was not the best; maybe she was unfriendly because this location is right by Times Square but service overall was lackluster.
