    Omelet with cheese not melted ugh ! We had to go back to fix it
    Jessica P.

    This diner usually is on point but today it just wasn't . I ordered a spinach and feta omelet but the cheese came non melted and it wasn't good. I feel that they rushed my order and now I'm here waiting for the fix. I'm always satisfied with what I order here which is why I gave 3 stars. Today I'm not sure what happened.

    BLAT Sandwich
    Tinesi P.

    The BLAT sandwich is $10 and as you can see it has more lettuce and tomato than bacon. I asked my servicer for an expensive sandwich can they at lease give one strip of bacon more and he said no because the will charge me $2.50 for that The star is for quick service, cool diner vibes and location. The sandwich itself was aiight. And the ice coffee was okay.

    This diner has changed its face and its owner recently. I never visited the old diner, but we decided to check out the brand new diner. The inside is very bright, clean, and cozy. They had some baked goods on the counter, such as muffins and bagels. We didn't try them, but they looked pretty good. I tried their Banana Smoothie. It was very thick and totally banana-y. Came in a plastic cup, which was kind of funny, no frills here. Tasty! We were there for brunch, and their menu is quite large! It took me a few minutes to decide what to get. I went with Pancakes Decker - layered with Greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, & topped with honey. Now, the actual Pancake Decker looked very different from what was shown on their menu... It didn't come with honey either. The pancakes were fluffy, and the berries were ripe and sweet, which was great. Even though it didn't live up to the photo, it was still a tasty dish. My hubby went with Monte Cristo. It was a bit smaller than expected, but still a nice size. It was very tasty, nice flavor and seasoning on the meat. It didn't look like much, but we enjoyed it. I would like to go back to try some other items on their menu, but not based on the photos off the menu...LOL.

    I do not know if it is just my experiences but "after COVID-19" I have been having more negative than positive times at restaurants. I came to Capitol Diner, which I have ordered from (AND SUPPORTED THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC) probably 20+ times and it has always been on point... up until this most current visit!!! With that being said... the steak was just a big piece of fat. Like what goes through someone's thoughts when serving that to a paying customer? Also, the grilled chicken wrap was another disaster! The chicken was rubbery and barely cooked. It was as if they grilled each side for about 30 seconds and called it a day! To accommodate for the lack of quality, they gave us a $8 dollar discount... when it is nothing since we literally left more than three quarters of our food!!!

    Belgium Waffle and Fried Chicken
    Jim S.

    It's a renovation and new ownership for a neighborhood favorite. This was long a breakfast meeting place but is now a perfect diner for the neighborhood. You can actually have a conversation in the restaurant which is rare in NYC. Food was great dinner food plenty to eat and reasonable price. I had fajitas and I had everyone looking at the plate because it sizzled for a long time. Manager was very attentive and asked if I wanted more tortillas even before I finished my last one. Where do you get service like that. It's not gourmet but good food. Neighbor had Belgian Waffle and fried chicken and it looked like it could serve three people. I'll be back.

    Sometimes it's nice to have simple and homey diner food. The buffalo chicken sandwich and curly fries were delicious! The pizza burger is also fantastic. The menu is endless here! They have so many options.

    Just ordered this $20 "avocado toast" that was soggy, the avocado was totally ripe, ingredients were missing, and the overall taste was revolting. Unsure how there are any good reviews for this food.

    Chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries. Scrambled eggs, home fries and bacon in the back, comes with toast.

    Great family style food, the ambiance was upscale. Worth the price, going with a group is best.

    The Westway Diner is a pretty typical NYC diner. It has a broad menu, and most of the items on it,…read moreespecially for breakfast, are on point. Nothing amazeballs. You're not dining Michelin here, but it is a good spot that hits the spot with their food and coffee. They really move things well, and quickly so wait times are often minimal, staff is speedy, yet you don't feel rushed. The ambiance is, well, diner. It is diner booths and tables, typical heavy duty diner dishes and basic cutlery, but that's perfect for this establishment. Not our first time here, and won't be our last, as the pricing is also reasonable.

    Westway Diner in Hell's Kitchen was one of the most disgraceful dining experiences I've had in New…read moreYork. The issue wasn't the mediocre food or dated atmosphere, it was the appalling treatment surrounding my legitimate service animal. The manager flat-out attempted to deny access, apparently more concerned that the dog might "scratch their booth" than following basic laws or showing basic human decency. To make matters worse, when asked if a small area of the floor could simply be wiped down so the dog wouldn't be licking a filthy diner floor, the response was complete refusal and hostility. The entire interaction felt ignorant, dismissive, and shockingly unprofessional. Staff acted inconvenienced by the mere presence of a service animal, which is unacceptable in any establishment, especially in New York City. A diner survives on hospitality, and Westway clearly has none. If you value respectful treatment, professionalism, or accessibility, avoid this place entirely.
