Standard diner fare! Prices are a bit high but it is in Chelsea after all... Service was good and we got a table right away on a busy weekend afternoon. Grilled cheese was excellent paired with sweet potato fries. read more

Been passing by this place for a while and decided to give it a try today . They are open 24 hours and that's definitely a plus !! Had eggs Benedict and it was probably one of the best I've had , the only issue was that for some reason the food was cold :( don't understand why since I was basically the only one there at that time . Service was great , my waiter was pleasant , helpful and fast . Place looks very clean and the food presentation is definitely very appealing. I will definitely give another try , just hope the food is actually served HOT next time . read more

Great service. Always filling your coffee/water. Good egg dishes. Mostly good food (not the meatloaf or lettuce salads-love turkey breast dinner) Homey nice atmosphere. Now pricing: hubby had Bacon + Eggs - I had Spinach Benedict - we shared 1 side of corned beef hash - good but way too much. While in retrospect we could have shared 1 egg dish the bill came to $65.5 (pretax). Good place but Pricey! read more

A chicken bone was found in the breakfast burrito here for the second time in 12 months. (It's now called a "breakfast wrap" on the menu). I am not likely to return here soon. When I do, I may hesitantly order pancakes, which will presumably not present any bones. read more

The Best 24/7 diner in Chelsea And they deliver any time Been going there for 30 years Customer service by a guy named Micro Is the best,

Speaking as a customer for 45 years, I have become extremely disappointed in this place. It is my typical NYC neighborhood corner diner -- complete with paper exotic cocktail placemats (under a plexiglass table topper), harsh lighting and a tacky dessert carousel, but always good for a reasonably priced decent meal with good service at any hour. Plus what was once an astounding variety of daily specials! No more. After the pandemic -- during which I remained a loyal if somewhat infrequent customer -- the menu gradually shrank and the prices continually crept up -- to the point that a patty melt that was $16 (no fries) a year ago is suddenly $20 (still no fries). All but the simplest of breakfasts are more than $20. Even accounting for Trump inflation, it seems greedy and unreasonable to me. I can get a similar breakfast at a real restaurant for less. Plus the food quality has slipped -- I ordered a Philly cheese steak that was served tough, dry and practically inedible. Business here appears to have slacked off lately despite the closure of its main competitor -- the Malibu Diner on West 23rd St., east of 7th Ave. Sadly not expecting this venerable place to last much longer despite its amazing track record up until now. read more

Me and my friends decided to try a new place for breakfast but never again. The second we stepped foot into this restaurant, we were immediately swarmed by this older hispanic guy who was basically trying to get us out as fast as possible. He kept insinuating that me and my party could not afford the bill we were given but was also expecting a large tip since our bill was a bit much. Even before my friend finished her food, someone was already trying to take her plate mid-bite. Lastly, the Tiramisu and cheesecake were god awful.We took one bite and were immediately disappointed. The cheesecake was dry and flavorless. The tiramisu didn't even have any coffee flavor, just cocoa powder. When we told the staff we were not paying for the tiramisu and cheesecake, they made a fuss. Definitely wont be coming back to this place!!! read more

A classic New York diner, Chelsea Square is a great option for solid food at any hour. We stopped in late after a show, and enjoyed a hearty meal with friendly service. Her cheese omelet with fries was enormous and satisfying, while my matzoh ball soup and absolutely enormous Greek salad was fresh and beyond filling. read more

I had pound cake delivered Quite good. I used to eat at their restaurant, pretty awful!

This used to be a great place and has a long and noble history. Sadly, it's now overpriced and the food quality has degraded. I don't mind the money so much because I like the fact that it still exists, but there's no excuse for how bad the lunch was that I just had. Basic omelette, a diner staple, was made with a white hard tomato that was chopped to pieces and a big hunk of Swiss cheese, swimming in goo. For that kind of money, I could've eaten down the block, an excellent omelette at the local French place for less money. I hope they do something to bring this back. read more

This 24-hour diner was walking distance from our hotel. Several in our group had soup. The individual portion bowl is Enough to fill you up. My daughter and I shared the BLT.

Undeterred by the thicket of recent negative reviews, we decided to eat lunch here and we're glad that we did! We were quite hungry after walking to and from Little Island. Someone came over right away to take our order but we told him to come back in a few minutes because the menu is quite extensive. My wife was loves breakfast and ordered a well-done mushroom omelet. I chose the triple decker turkey club with mayo on the side. Both orders were at our table in four minutes. My wife was delighted that her omelet was cooked exactly as specified, which is often not the case. My sandwich was picture perfect, cradling a mountain of crispy fries. A small tub of coleslaw completed the picture. I started out with the wonderfully tasty fries, and so did my wife; fortunately there were plenty to share! Finally I got to the sandwich, which seemed extremely dry. At first I thought it was due to not being slathered in mayonnaise, but even after dutifully spreading that sebaceous substance on each slice, I concluded the problem was incredibly dry turkey. So don't worry about ordering it with the mayo! The restaurant's interior is quite dated but the prices are reasonable, the service was excellent and the food quite good overall. There are certainly better diners in NYC but as the song goes: if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. read more

I've been satisfied repeatedly with every visit : food, service, and ambiance have all been great.

The outside of the business is very welcoming with an LGBTQIA+ Flag. Soon as I walked in I was greeted my the hostess who was friendly and sat me right away.

Gigantic portions! None of us were able to finish our food and ended up with a lot of leftovers. The chicken parm was especially huge. It comes with two huge pieces of chicken breast, one huge plate of spaghetti, and a big bowl of soup. I got the chicken fingers and it was also extremely big. However, things tasted pretty mediocre--less good than what I'd expect for the price. Came here Monday night 630pm without reservation and there were many open tables. Waiter was nice and took our orders quickly. This place also charges ~3% fees for credit card, so remember to bring cash when you come!! read more

Chelsea Square restaurant has been in the neighborhood for decades, serving both local regulars and out-of-towners looking for a nice spot for some old fashioned diner grub. The diner is open 24/7, with plenty of indoor (and now, outdoor) seating, kitschy interiors, and a bustling atmosphere filled with Sunday morning conversations. This was my second visit (first time since before the pandemic), and was greeted by an exceptionally friendly manager, Herman, who stopped by multiple times to check on us and was also kind enough to help us bag up leftovers and take a group picture. Overall, generous portions (my eggs benny came with 3 eggs instead of the advertised 2, which was a pleasant surprise), strong coffee (with free refills), and chipper service means it's worth a return visit in the future. read more

We were three NYC visitors hungry after walking the High Line a bit. We were disappointed the HL section was closed; but where we exited, within a few blocks was this friendly-looking neighborhood cafe. Inside was a pleasant mix of folks. We were seated immediately. Louis was our server and recommended several items from the special and the regular menu. He was a good adviser! When we left we thought we'd just visited Little Italy! Thanks folks - I'm just eating at home the second half of the giant portion Meatballs/Spaghetti. read more

I've always wondered about this diner with walking by over the years. It seems like its been around for decades. They're open 24 hours. Like, there's one staple in New York City that's been disappearing dramatically and it's the old school no frills diners. Anyway, yeah, I'm going to preface this by saying they're pretty damn expensive. BUT - the portions are absolutely enormous for what you're getting. Like I took home half of my breakfast from this weekend. They also serve alcohol I think 24/7 with a full bar if that's your jam. But I forwent having any brunch cocktail as they were typically around $12-15. The options are endless as usual. In my indecisive nature I usually go with something really off the walls weird (I was staring at the cheese blintzes on the menu for awhile as well as the cheddar patty melt, chicken fingers, and fish and chips) but ultimately went with an omelette. In which the variety of breakfast and egg dishes is pretty daunting. Decided on the Lox and onion omelette (again, weird choice) that comes with a side bagel and a wedge of cream cheese as well as potatoes. The boy went with the Chorizo omelette that was seemingly more normal with avocado, onion and mozz. We both decided we aren't crazy about onions but it kind of worked with the salty salmon. Okay - my dish covered the size of an enormous platter and the bagel and cheese was on a separate plate. The omelette in itself had a huge amount of lox in it. The only suggestion I would make is smear the cream cheese onto your eggs to make it what I really wanted and intended on devouring and save that bagel for a poor man's breakfast the next day. The potatoes are something to write home about. I'm never a huge fan of homefries or skillet potatoes or hashbrowny things with diners because usually they suck. These were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and well seasoned. Just absolute perfection. The service is amazing. They're also pretty funny and cute. Someone nearby was having a small birthday brunch gathering and the entire crew came in singing with gusto with a lit up piece of cake. Like you can tell these people really care about the place. read more

Not bad! Diner food yet the prices are higher because they are 24/7. The matzoh ball soup ($6) hit the spot and my friend ordered the filet mignon with eggs and potatoes ($32). The iced coffee ($4) was decent and kept me awake for a little. Be aware that you are not coming here for quality. It is more for the convenience of the NYC diner charm as well as meeting people 24/7. read more

Cute diner! Was sat right away on a Saturday, late morning which was surprising to me but very pleasing. I was starving. Loved the family feel. I ordered the sausage breakfast sandwich. So tasty! Eggs were cooked perfectly. The bread was soooooo good! Even days later, I'm still thinking about that sandwich. My friend ordered the waffle with Nutella and berries. It was huge and very delicious. The waffle was perfectly balanced, slightly sweet but not overly so. Also ordered the home fries, they were more like hash browns with peppers and onions but he said they were good just not what he expected home fries to be. Great service and great food! We picked this diner because it was conveniently located near the High Line, which we walked after breakfast. Highly recommend both! read more

I have ordered the same item multiple times at this diner during the same week. The waiter always ups the price of my sandwich every time I go there. The food is quite good but be careful that the waiter does not overcharge you. Keep the menu and compare with the check. I don't think I will be going there again because of this. My turkey sandwich is quite good and the soup is good as well but I don't like the bait and switch. read more

Love the split pea soup and have been a long time customer at Chelsea Square. Today 1/14/24 , ordered some take out food and now I know what is that special seasoning, (Roach droppings). I was waiting for my food and saw a good size roach crawling on the frother machine. I mention to worker and manager, and let's hope they get an exterminator. Then, I ordered a cheese burger and who makes a cheese burger with no lettuce or tomato. Just cheese.... read more

I was pretty excited to run a crossed best diner. Absolutely a classic. No I had to take a double take at the prices I had to remember I was in NYC. But when the meal came out I was blown away at the quality. I had the CA burger and my partner the chicken sandwich. Both of us took 1/2 home. Some of the best fries I have had in years. I didn't have room for the dessert cakes. But next time I will just go for those...what a selection! This come with my Ultimate guarantee. If you don't like the food give me a call and I'll finish it. Ha ha read more
