    Greek Gyro Platter (Lamb)
    Lynda G.

    We hadn't visited this restaurant in quite some time, so we decided to have lunch here today. I chose the Lamb Gyro Platter, while my mother opted for the meatloaf. While my gyro was okay my mother's lunch was really good. I'm inclined to return solely for the meatloaf, as it was very flavorful and enough for two or three smaller meals.

    Sometimes in life, you're just craving simple, comforting American cuisine--and I was so grateful to find a diner that delivered exactly that. It didn't have a jukebox, but everything else transported me right back to the diners I used to visit with my parents. Food: 5/5 Let's be clear--this isn't Michelin-star food, and it's not trying to be. It's classic diner fare, which means it's hearty, familiar, and affordable. I finally satisfied my long-time craving for meatloaf and mashed potatoes--and yes, it hit the spot.My husband went with a cheeseburger and fries, because sometimes, that's all you really want. Both were delicious and perfectly seasoned for what they are. Service: 5/5 You don't come to a diner expecting fine dining service, but you do expect efficiency and kindness--and that's exactly what we got. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our food came out promptly and hot. They accept credit cards, which was a nice plus (but I'd be happy to pay cash too--it's that kind of place). Value: It's rare nowadays to go out and spend just over $120 (after tip) for two entrées, appetizer, and dessert, but that's exactly what we did here--and we left full and satisfied. Final Thoughts: If you're craving no-fuss fries, a hearty plate, and nostalgic diner vibes, this place is 100% worth the visit. I'd gladly go back the next time I need a little comfort food and a break from trendier (and pricier) spots.

    First time here! I'm a big fan of diners so it's always nice to try one you've never been to! I loved how not busy it was on a Sunday and the decor! I came for brunch time and the service was good. I personally wasn't a fan of the French toast and my bf didn't really like that his burger was cooked WELL DONE when he asked for MEDIUM. I usually would ask for food to be fixed but he didn't want to wait again. Hopefully next time I come I won't be let down by the food and tryout some new dishes!

    I will start off by saying growing up in the neighborhood I would frequent this establishment with my family on the weekends. Whether it was a Sunday or a late night burger deluxe, I always seemed to enjoy it. Over the years they have gone through many changes as many of the surviving restaurants after Covid have. I really hate to give them this rating because I love the culture they have built and the longevity of their reign on this E. Tremont corner property. Serving families for generations. The service has always been fast and efficient, what you would want from a diner. My biggest issue is that the prices really don't match the quality of the food. The portions have gotten smaller and smaller and the prices have gone up. I do understand that wholesale items have gone up over the years but if I'm paying premium prices for dishes, I expect quality and if not that then at least quantity. The excuse of prices have gone up just really doesn't apply here because most of the items are frozen and mass produced. I am in the industry and while I can see prices have gone up, it is not at the scale that their prices reflect. I really don't see the value. I have noticed that they have built a strong online presence and have great marketing tactics to bring in customers which is great and moving with the times but now I feel the marketing needs to focus on appropriately pricing these items and possibly condensing the amount of food they offer. Or if they don't want to change the pricing at least consider the classic oversized portions of an old school diner. Besides the prices being high, they will nickel and dime you if you ask for a side of sauce. It's just off-putting when the prices are already questionable with the food quality. I love the corner property they reside at and I love the layout of the place. It's giving diner all around. If they have a prime location and great service-- they can fix up the food program and be elite. The history and service saved this from being a 2 star. I wish them the best!

    So a friend of mine, whom I've worked with many moons ago, who is now a full Content creator. She teamed up with Crosstown Diner to have a giveaway on Instagram and I took my chance and I was one of the five winners how cool is that :) I was sent a $100 gift card in the mail and I gathered my family and we all headed out there. When we arrived, we got seated immediately. It is a nice diner set up, clean with big screen TVs on the wall. We got our menus and I must say that it is overwhelming because there's so much to choose from but we finally narrowed it down. I ordered their Philly cheesesteak with Onion Rings with the Spiked Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake, which was so so good .Hubby ordered the Pastrami Sandwich with Fries our son ordered the Frankenstein Burger, which was massive, and our friend ordered the Fried Chicken and Fries. When we finally got served our food, it was piping hot how we like it and everything was delicious. Our waiter was really nice and attentive as well. Everyone except me carried home leftovers lol. I highly recommend and I do intend on going back before the summer is up. It would be great if you guys can branch off into the Manhattan or BROOKLYN area. Keep that in mind. Cheers :)

    Brunch at the Crosstown Diner!

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Crosstown Diner, with two friends, for their new Brunch Board. We were completely overwhelmed, in a good way, with the amount of food that was served. There was pancakes, French toast, waffles and Nutella blueberries and strawberries. It was an incredible selection of food fit for a king. Our server Steven was great, very attentive and knew everything about Crosstown's menu. We will definitely be back!

    To begin, I've ordered from here loads of times over the past 7 years I've lived in NYC, and I've especially bought the apple crumb pie several times before today. Never did I bother to look for mold because I have a lot of trust in most restaurants. I ate most of the pie and a piece fell over and there it was, the fuzziest mold I've ever seen on a piece of food. I am absolutely disgusted. Never have I had this issue before and thinking about how much of their desserts I've consumed before today, makes me ill just thinking about it. I called after I saw it to warn them not to sell it, and the person on the phone was quick to rush me off. It's like he didn't care at all. Not even an apology. He just said he'd look into it. If I get sick from having ate this when I have work tomorrow and absolutely cannot call out, I will be even more outraged than I already am.

    This place should be renamed "Healthy Choice, Horrible Experience." The owner is hands-down the…read moremost unprofessional, arrogant, and clueless person I've ever dealt with in any business--ever. He has no idea how to run a place, no idea how to speak to customers, and absolutely zero interest in providing even the bare minimum level of service. I asked to remove TWO ingredients from a smoothie and replace them with ONE. Not only is that a downgrade, it's basic logic. But somehow, he decided I needed to pay extra--for LESS. When I questioned it (politely, mind you), he gave me attitude like I was trying to scam him out of a Ferrari. So I tried ordering a different smoothie. Turns out, one of the ingredients wasn't even available--and instead of offering a swap, a discount, or literally any sign of customer care, he just shrugged. No solution, no apology. Just that blank, smug look like I was the one who needed to figure it out. It's like he's running a business by accident. Zero common sense, zero accountability, and a customer service approach straight out of a nightmare. He acts like he's allergic to feedback, and the second you ask a question, he talks down to you like you're the problem. And the worst part? He's the face of the business. The person greeting people. The one taking orders. Honestly, that alone is the biggest red flag. He shouldn't be anywhere near customers--or a cash register. Or a blender. Or anything that requires basic logic or human interaction. I don't care how "healthy" the food is--nothing is worth the stress, the eye rolls, the condescending tone, or the feeling of being completely ignored and disrespected. You want a smoothie? Go anywhere else. You want to be treated like garbage while overpaying for it? Congrats--you've found your place. Save your money, your sanity, and your taste buds--this place is a smoothie shop run by someone who couldn't blend common sense if his life depended on it.

    I finally stopped in and checked out The Healthy Kitchen. Originally came across THK on Uber Eats…read more While in the area one Saturday morning , I decided to place an order for pick-up. Once alerted that my order was ready, I pulled up and grabbed a metered spot right in front. As I entered, the shop it was empty but the staff was busy working on online orders in the open kitchen. Seating is available at a couple tables and counter top. I grabbed a seat as I waited because my order wasn't actually complete. Staff was pleasant but clearly behind on orders. Once completed I grabbed my order and headed out. I went with the #5. Breezin- strawberry, pineapple, peach, w/ orange juice base and I added banana. Overall a local spot offering healthy options on the go. Just A Note: They are on Uber Eats but they also offer online ordering and you can get 15% off your first order when ordering directly from them.

I went with the Captain Jack wrap with an impossible burger as the protein, vegan mozzarella, sweet potato french fries, lettuce, and bbq sauce. This wrap blew my mind. As soon as I pulled it apart the cheese just stretched across both wraps. The i.possi ke burger and sweet potato fries blended beautifully, and it had just the right amount bbq sauce to not feel over-saturated. I highly recommend it.
