I live one block over on 44th, and have visited Cook Eatery many times because it's so convenient. But I've had it with the intolerable rudeness of the two morning cooking guys, and won't go there ever again. On more than one occasion I've been at the counter trying to order and the taller of the two, he works on the left side, has looked me dead in the face and simply turned his back to me. I've tried being extra friendly with warm 'good morning's' and such, but have never, not once been granted the courtesy of a reply or acknowledgement. It's as if I'm invisible. Yet, with specific types of people he can be quite chatty. The shorter of the two appears to take his cue from him. Today when I went in I waited patiently while he took pancakes off the griddle (you don't want to let them burn, of course). I just wanted an order of home fries. When he was finished and the griddle was empty, he looked at me and said he was busy, and couldn't give me home fries. They were sitting right there in the pan. I was the only one there and there was nothing on the griddle, yet he was too busy to put some home fries in a blasted styrofoam container?? Both these guys need to be replaced, as their attitudes are terrible. They should not be dealing with customers because they are rude and disrespectful. The two ladies in the register area are ok. If you make conversation with them they will engage you, but those two guys working the morning griddle makes for a terrible experience. There are other places to go in the area, and I would encourage you to seek them out rather than submit yourself to the rudeness that seems to be the norm at Cook Eatery. The food is good. No issues there. The prices are ok for midtown, but I no longer will go there because of the two rude morning cooks. I frequented Cook Eatery a couple mornings a week, as I was addicted to their delicious muffins. Getting muffins and a coffee was no problem, as you deal with the two nice women at the register. The problem started whenever I went to order something from the grill. The two guys working the morning grill have such nasty and rude behavior, I've often been ignored for minutes at a time while they kept their backs to me. Every visit was a hassle. Enough. There's too many other options in the area. I won't go there again, and neither should you. read more

COOK EATERY - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

This was a nice convenience store and deli right by our hotel St. James. They offer lots of different cuisines and pastries. They'll display their cash coat and their card cost which will be a little more. The prices are moderate for NYC. read more

As a person traveling here from Az I absolutely appreciate and enjoy eateries like this. I ordered a fresh beet and greens juice and branded a premade sushi roll package. The whole place looked delicious and each item was around $10. Everything was fast and efficient and perfect because I was in the middle of a long day of authorship and book release and had a small break. Thank you! read more

This is your standard Manhattan grab and go place. My office is right down the street, so its super convenient when it's freezing cold outside and you're not sure what you have a hankering for. From hot food to sandwiches, they even have a ramen station. BB read more

The bagel itself was good, which is the main reason for the two stars. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. The person speaking Spanish (who claimed to be the owner) was intrusive and obnoxious. No one asked for commentary, and it was uncomfortable to have someone repeatedly interrupt conversations. If you're not being spoken to, it's best to give customers space. Our order was also incorrect: we asked for no onions and received extra onions, and we asked for no egg but still got egg. Attention to basic order details needs serious improvement. On top of that, the emergency exit was blocked with chairs, which is a safety concern (see image). The food has potential, but customer service, order accuracy, and safety standards need much more focus. read more

We went in for the breakfast bar. It had a great variety. I'd say this is good for families that all want different things. I got French toast, roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs and sausages, while my daughter made herself a fruit cup. She also got pancakes and hash browns. It is also conveniently located. read more

Great spot for smoothies and other goodies. They even made me a custom smoothie not on the menu. Also picked up some protein bars, they had a great selection. read more

Visited Cook Eatery the other day through an external app and I have to say that every time I go to Cook Eatery, I am please with the portions and food they offer. I got a Caesar salad, flavored chicken, dumplings, and garlic noodles with a side of radish soup. I was in awe of how great everything tasted and the staff were very nice as well. The worker said I could take some utensils home and processed my order at the cashier relatively quickly. Just knowing that an employee is present to greet me with a smile is something I always love seeing. Ambiance was nice with great lighting and it's located in Times Square, so it is very convenient for office workers and those traveling. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

This is the kinda place to go to if you don't know what you want when you walk in that you could potentially walk out with a little bit of everything. I started off wanting the bimibap and ended up with a very hearty chicken sandwich. I just love the concept that you can get a deli sandwich, choose from a buffet, or even get sushi or a ramen bowl. Just do much to choose from including a refrigerator case of beverages and I loved it. Bravo! Also quick service and I got a great view on the second floor while eating my sandwich. read more

COOK EATERY - The New York Sandwich - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Open 24 hrs 7 days to start. They have self serve buffet, counter service, WIDE Selection of fairly priced food and convenience store selections. Extra large upstairs self seat dining area. Nice friendly workers as well. Is it inexpensive? No, but for NYC, it the fairest we've found. Our favorites are it's no hassle, no pressure, no rush, no tipping, something for everyone etc. We still go out to the classy/fancy places for dinner but for a simple breakfast, easy lunch, fast coffee, late night munchies, hotel room purchases this is as good as it gets in our experience. read more

COOK EATERY - Superman Smoothie - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

this place is utterly disgusting. My grandma was visiting the city and came here for one thing, orange juice. When she went to the man at the front desk and asked which orange juice would be cheaper he got mad for no reason at all and threw the orange juice at her head, she had a big bump and a bruise and maybe things maybe could have even been worse. Terrible customer service I hope that man gets what he deserves. Do not come here. read more

This place was close to our hotel so we stopped by after check out for a quick bite before the airport. It was alright. It's a big eatery with different stations. The chefs were friendly and food was prepared there in front of us. They have udon, sandwiches, omelets, etc and a whole floor or seating upstairs. We tried omelets and it was something we would probably make at home. Nothing was seasoned and the eggs have some meat/veggies based on what you order and a side of toast. The potato fries were bland and could have been fried and seasoned more. The hash brown was mushy from not being toasted enough and placed on top of a hot omelet in a to go box. They also have a buffet in the back and a lot of snacks/beverages. This place would be good if you're staying nearby and need a quick snack or want an inexpensive meal. read more

I normally order lunch from here if I'm ever in the area as they have a really good menu selection. This time I went and got a Tune Melt Panini as they make it really well here. When ordering a panini it comes with a small side of curly fries which are delicious and a pickle slice. This place is big with seating on the second floor. There are multiple food options from ramen, korean food, wraps, salad and pananis and sandwiches as well as a food bar option. They also do smoothies and pressed juices. If you are ever near by and need a quick reasonably proced lunch this is the place to go. They will assist you as quickly as possible. 4.5/5 read more

Iv got food poisoning twice here in the last 4 months. First time was from the pre-made panini's and just today I had a chicken wrap made fresh and I have been hugging the toilet bowl since. read more

Do NOT bother giving this establishment your business. Website shows cold sandwiches but inside menu only shows hot sandwiches. The large Hispanic man making the food was rude AF. When I inquired about the cold sandwiches he points to the menu. I go on to tell him I want to order 19 sandwiches to which he replied it's breakfast time. I asked him if I was supposed to come back in the afternoon and he goes on to someone else behind me to take an order of 1 breakfast sandwich. Guess they don't like money - would rather take a food order of 1 sandwich vs 19 sandwiches. I run into the manager on my way out who proceeds to tell me they do make cold sandwiches and that they could make it in the morning without having to return in the afternoon. WHY would I even bother when there are other delis? Suggest they either 1)fix the internal menu 2)require people who speak English who actually make the food 3)have BETTER people skills when you are serving people read more

Not open 24/7. The place looks clean....BUT got a chicken sandwich and the lettuce in it had dirty gunk on it. Disgusting. There's also a "non cash adjustment" charge added to your total if you pay with credit card. read more

We found this place casually. From that day on we had our breakfast there every day. The place is so clean, comfortable, the food is good and have a lot of alternatives for each one on the group. Definitely the place to go. read more

We ate at this place on all the days we were in Manhattan. We were there for a week. They have many selections and the food taste good. I don't like bagel that much but after having their breakfast bagel with lox and cream cheese I've been a fan. This place is clean and stocked. The owner and the employees are courteous. I wanted a cold bottled water and the employee replenishing the shelves offered to get me one in the other fridge. My husband who is picky said this place is convenient, hassle free and quality all in one. We've been visiting Manhattan for many years and this place is up to par. We also appreciated that they check for vaccinations before letting you dine in the second floor. We felt safe. We'll be coming back to this place in our future visits. read more

Cook Eatery is the place to eat. 10/10 would recommend. The employee that made our chicken cutlet grinder took pride in his work. He added a little extra flare to our sandwich with his original guacamole salsa that he personally prepared. And, he even added extra for free on the side. If you are looking for good food in Times Square that is reasonable priced, this is your place. read more
