Food: so far I have only tried the Chicken Parmesan. It's delicious! - Beautiful presentation - Arrives perfect hot temperature - Portion size, filling Service: Staff acknowledge as soon as you walk through the door. Ambiance: I've only ever visited this restaurant in the evening after a work shift when I just want to sit down to a nice, a dimly lit and quiet spot. - but even when it's a full house it still has a nice, calm atmosphere. Between the food and the lighting it's hard not to feel comfortable here. read more

We had the fish and chips and the vodka. The fish and chips was the star of the night-perfectly crispy with a great tartar sauce. It also comes with a soup-chicken or clam chowder. The pasta was good too but if you like it very creamy, this might not be for you. Drinks were the rumchaita and the espresso martini; both were excellent. And of course you can never go wrong with a tiramusu. Fast service, and still managed to snag a seat on a busy Friday night! read more

Disappointing at best. Wanted to like this place but it's a no for me. Not a good value for what you get. Ordered the bus stop salad, very small portion for the money. Was more like an appetizer. I was still Hungry, ordered cream of tomato soup but tasted salty and was more like a cheese soup. Again tiny portion. The only thing of value was free coffee refills. Sadly I won't be returning , was a waste of money. There are better places . Skip read more

Nice and cozy place with friendly and attentive staff. Similar layout to Waverly dinner but smaller. The make it your own omelets were very good made with peppers, sausage, cheese, and mushrooms. Potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I haven't had orange juice in a while and I had two. Definitely a nice place to have a bite to eat and conversation. read more

Bolognese with freshly grated cheese is considerably elevated compared to what I'd associate with diner fare. If the price ($21.99) was closer to the classic juicy hamburger ($11.99 I think) this would be an awesome lunch spot for double plates. As it stands, a decent (3.5 star) no frills lunch option. read more

Food is ways decent. The service is always friendly. Love the windows looking out on the street! A solid neighborhood spot.

Bus stop is walk-in only and worth the wait! Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Service was fine. Definitely would recommend the brunch happy hour deal as it comes with an entree from the list provided and two drinks! Will come back for the food! read more

Stopped in for lunch the first time recently after a morning at the Whitney Museum. Had a great grilled chicken with avocado sandwich on focaccia bread. Also ordered a Coney Island Mermaid pilsner beer which paired with it nicely. Service and pricing were good, there is a nice diner vibe here if you sit inside. read more

The food was great and the atmosphere is cozy. We enjoyed our breakfast. It was a little slower coming to us than we would have liked but the staff was nice. It's also a bit expensive done most items only come with coffee and a small glass of juice, no toast or potatoes, etc. but it is not too far off for being in New York City. read more

Extremely rude customer service! We ordered a mocha latte and got a macchiato instead! Waitress insisted she heard macchiato! A shot with foam instead of a latte! The carrot cake is the only reason for the twp stars! The table outside was broken and shaking the whole time.. Not worth the experience! read more

Service is always "fair" at bus stop. There is no teamwork. I asked 3 people to ask my waiter for a check--I believe they each ignored my request. As seat the food is "fair". Not bad, certainly not great. Never a surprise. . read more

One of my favorite brunch spots... the interior is small, but there is something so charming and cozy about it. We like to sit outside on a nice day, and the hostess has always been so accommodating. The gluten free pancakes are a favorite!! And you can't go wrong with the omelettes, and have like 5 cups of coffee. read more

I ordered a Romanian Steak with baked Potatoes. I should've checked the order first before leaving the establishment. I was horrified! The Romanian steak was so tough until I could not bite into such tough meat. I never received bake potatoes which was my order although I received tough French Fries. I rate Bustop restaurant on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 I will never eat there again. read more

- alright food - alright drinks - creative cocktails - cool, low key diner - they forgot half my order - they did not refill my water - alright avocado toast - im told the sangria is tasty read more

Good diner food in a serene atmosphere complimented by good service. Stopped in for a Saturday morning breakfast. Western omelette, fries, buttered rye toast and a side of bacon. Omelette was on point. Fries cooked to perfection and the rye toast on target. 2 negatives, bacon was overly crispy, and the coffee could have been a little warmer. As soon as you added milk, the coffee was lukewarm. I didn't add that much milk. Background music was chamber music at just the right volume to be able to talk without difficulty to the person sitting across from you. Service was great. I would definitely recommend Bus Stop for breakfast. read more

"I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though"....maybe inspired by this place? Who knows...but my sister had to get breakfast here during our Taylor Swift NY weekend. This location is absolutely so cute, there are two parks right across the street so we opted to sit outside and enjoy the view. We sat in the covered patio area and it was the move. The servers were so friendly and sat us quickly. For food my sister ordered off the specials menu that comes with coffee and juice and I ordered the jalapeno avocado omelette (which came with potatoes and toast). We both had iced coffee that came out quickly. Very good coffee and they bring out milk which is so clutch cause it's way better than those little creamers. The food came out at a reasonable speed. Portion sizes were large. My eggs were perfectly cheesey and pillowy. I seriously loved this omelette. Crispy little potatoes with onions were the perfect side. Sometimes good diner type breakfast food is what you need. If I lived around here, I would come often because the prices weren't that bad either. Loved this place and would definitely be back if I lived in New York! read more

We have not been here in a while but I decided to go get breakfast this morning. Staff is still awesome but the portions are a lot smaller even the glass of oj was a child's size. Doubtful if we'll be back to our old favorite breakfast place. read more

It couldn't be worse! How can such a "hidden place" from tourists be so disgusting?! The staff is not friendly at all! And this is the West Village! Shame! In the photo, the French onion soup is being served and the meatloaf is dry. Avoid this place! read more

I associate Bus Stop Cafe with a lot of nostalgia as it was one of the first places I ate when I officially moved to NYC. BSC is a cozy neighborhood spot that serves up warm food and good vibes. I and my friend had originally gone to West Village to eat at another eatery, but all the outdoor seating was occupied (this was at a time we couldn't dine in). So we wandered in the opposite direction and came to this cute little diner with lovely plant decor. Sold. We started off with sangria which was super good, and I had the linguini with chorizo (looks like it's not on the menu anymore). It was the best comfort food ever, and it tasted fresh. Service was great and I felt like no one rushing us to leave, so we could savor every bite and every sip. It's a lovely, affordable, no frills cafe. I loved my time there and can't wait to visit again. read more

Food was bland! Eggplant parm was pretty bad. Salad tasted like it came out of one of those packaged salad kits!

A cute little place in West Village serves good food and has good service. It was super busy when we were there, but the wait was short and they brought out the food very fast. We had coffee refills a couple of times. For a busy place, the service was decent. I enjoyed my omelet and my friend enjoyed his waffles. The burger I heard was outstanding. The mimosas were delicious and I liked the presentation. If you live in the area or visiting happens to be in the area it's nice to hang out there. read more

Amazing food! The quality and the taste, both was very good. Also the staff is very kind and hospitable.

you're supposed to listen to your customers not argue with them when they're paying money. I've noticed this in alot of establishments in nyc, managers have developed a victim mentality where the customer has to walk on eggshells now or risk getting into a full fledged argument (I blame covid for this.) the customer, unfortunately, isn't right anymore because businesses have developed so many excuses to use against us. this has been about the sixth business I've frequented where I've gotten spoken back to by an employee or manager, and I'm becoming fed up. idk if its a comfortability thing, when a customer frequents an establishment- but when they pay the full price you have to respect them as a CUSTOMER not a buddy! now thats 20 dollars I won't get back, so to not have to waste my time again I won't be returning. soon EVERY nyc restaurant will be on this list if this doesn't change. its uncanny now. read more

Every time I pass the Bus Stop Café on Hudson and Bethune - I say to myself that I have to stop in one day. Well, today is the day - had a very good lunch. It's very cozy and comfortable inside. They have a good menu. I started with a French onion soup and then a Russian Panini (roast beef, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions with Russian dressing) and a small chick pea salad. The service is very good. I definitely will be back. read more

No reservations but "no problem" the nice man on the phone said. Really? Saturday brunch? Ok I decided to trust, we met our party of four and there were other people already waiting. Uh oh Still, stick with the trust thing.... They have gluten free pancakes with berries and it's a block from a beautiful park. "Four minutes." I don't see it... Three minutes later we're seated! The food was good for the serious carnivores, the GF vegetarian and the omnivore in the middle. Good coffee, great food, outstanding service and beautiful surroundings. Don't get on that bus, stop! read more

Great intimate eatery to end a busy, long day of sightseeing. The spaghetti with meatballs was awesome with no room for dessert. My husband had the meatloaf with mash and loved it. If ever in NY again, we will definitely be back. read more

just wanted to say thanks to my girl Rebecca and my boy Abel! You two were absolutely amazing and I received such great service from you both! Rebecca really pays attention to detail. I didn't have to ask her for certain things, she just knew what to bring to my table and was just a pleasant person to be waited on. Abel was funny and really sweet and also made sure my date and I were comfortable dining. Love those two! Thanks guys;-) Also my food was great!

Cute village brunch spot with a good brunch deal. I always like places that do the 1 price, 1 entree, a coffee and a drink. I would highly recommend the apple cider mimosa. I different take on a typical brunch drink and really tasted like a boozy martinelli's. The brunch itself was really excellent! My friend had the steak and eggs, and I had the very berry waffle. Belgian waffle covered in greek yogurt, honey, toasted almonds, and fresh berries. Beautiful to look at and really delicious! Perfectly cooked waffle and the topping was a little different from what I would put on, but completely sold. The booths are a little cramped and larger parties beware, but a solid choice! read more

Wonderfully warm restaurant. Brought back fond memories of a place we went to in Paris this summer. Food, staff and ambiance were letter-perfect. Felt cozy on a brisk fall early evening. read more

After passing this place a thousand times, we finally stopped by after High Street on Hudson was closed for lunch. So cute! Like a diner, but better, with excellent service in a cozy space (with a gorgeous towering flower arrangement). Not sure I'd order anything I wouldn't ordinarily get in a diner, though it seems many people adore the pasta dishes. We'll be back! read more

What a cute, cozy, neighborhood restaurant! DINNER REVIEW: The pasta with vodka sauce was. so. good. I like vodka sauces that are heavier on the cream than the tomato - and when it initially came out looking more deep red than pink I got nervous it would be more tomato based. Nope - it was creamy goodness. The calamari was also insanely good. The marinara they served with the calamari was almost cheesy. It was awesome. Finally, a tasty bottle of dry Pinot Grigio white wine! This place is kid friendly, and appears to be locals more so than tourists. BRUNCH REVIEW: Really tasty comfort food. I ordered an omelette with extra cheese, only the find out they give "plenty" of cheese (so I retracted the extra cheese request). I usually give that only because most restaurants give very little. Our waiter was correct - the cheese helping was the perfect balance of cheese to egg. The breakfast potatoes were also a hit. read more
