Eat Here Now is an old school NYC diner and for that I love it. The food is fine, service friendly and the coffee is way better than I would have expected. A fellow customer was having a toasted blueberry muffin and a coffee, I was a bit jealous as that muffin looked great. read more

Went for brunch and it's perfect for that. This no-frills yet cute east side establishment is pretty much a diner and is quite reasonably priced. The staff is very attentive, the food good - what more can you ask for? The space is on the small side, but the turnover is pretty quick, plus there's room at the counter. Definitely a place to go when you're hungry and in the neighborhood. read more

We stopped here for breakfast because my son had a taste for pancakes. Everyone here was very warm and welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant breakfast in the city. It's a quaint diner-like atmosphere. I had the spinach and bacon omelette with breakfast potatoes. I cleared my plate! It also came with two slices of toast with bread of your choosing. My husband had the pancake breakfast and also finished his entire meal. My Little's definitely enjoyed their Belgian waffle and pancakes. I also had a delightful cappuccino. Our meal came to $83 with the addition of three orange juices. That alone was $15. The juice will get you every time. I'm not sure if that is a going rate for breakfast for four in the city, but it feels like it is. Beyond the price to dine, no complaints. read more

This place is fairly close to the Frick Collection as we wanted a bite to eat prior to our time slot at 10:30AM last Saturday. From the outside, it doesn't seem much, but inside was a real time capsule of a place frozen in time; a classic local spot for a cozy breakfast. We started immediately with coffees as soon as we sat in our cozy booth. The waitress was friendly enough and gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted from the menu. I decided on my western omelette, which is my favorite, and my friend got the egg benedict. There was a bit of a wait until our food was served, but it allowed us to really enjoy our coffees first. There was seating outside, but we wanted to beat the heat and enjoy some AC before our long day ahead. My western omelette was pretty damn good, and my friend truly enjoyed his eggs benedict. The coffee pot came around multiple times during our meals and I topped off at least twice. This was a really solid omelette and making the decision to add cheddar to it last minute was completely clutch. This is worth a stop by if you're in the area for sure! read more

This is a classic cozy diner right in midtown with great service & dependable food. First of all, this place has been here for 40yrs (easily). This place has been here since my high school days down the block in '95. So I love this place because it takes me back. We sat at the counter waitress was attentive took our order quickly. Food was great. Note: I got the corn beef hash and eggs. I know it looks unappetizing, but it was good. Made how I like it- eggs well done. It was great to eat at place that has with standard time. read more

It's not that their food is not good-it is-just that there's not enough of it for the prices they charge. A chicken salad sandwich had a very small amount of chicken, half a leaf of lettuce, 2 thin slices of tomato and a few thin pieces of onion. I had to ask for the Cole slaw and pickle that always comes with such sandwiches and was told by the waitress, albeit with a scolding look on her face, that although it does not come with a sandwich she'd give me what turned out to be a tsp of Cole slaw in a minuscule cup and 3 thin little slices of a pickle. All for the honor of paying $18.50 to still be hungry after eating in a restaurant that has an "A" rating despite having roaches. read more

Fantastic service, friendly staff and awesome diner. I got the chicken parm on a roll, it was awesome!

After a morning walk through Central Park and around the Upper East Side, we were looking for a place to stop in and get a snack. The name intrigued us. We loved the small business feel and hospitality. The staff was kind and the fruit was fresh! read more

Eat Here Now - Fruit Bowl Breakfast - American Near Me - New York, New York

Googled a diner near us and found this place. It was nuts inside. But they sat us within 5 minutes. We love small mom and pop places. Which was surprising because of the location. The servers and the owner were all so welcoming and nice! It was super super busy but we can describe it as organized chaos We got our drinks right away and ordered our food within 10 minutes. It was midday so most of us decided for Lunch. My boyfriend had the hungry man breakfast, my mom ordered a grilled chicken sandwich my daughter had a cheeseburger and I had a Philly cheesesteak. The portions were pretty big, we allll had leftovers. The Philly cheesesteak was so warm and delicious literally melts in your mouth! The chicken was so soft and perfectly cooked, the bread was a lot, but still was really good. The eggs came out just as he asked and the waffle was delicious too! My daughter ate the burger and fries and that too was cooked just as she asked well done. This spot was awesome, again wayyy better than expected and definitely gave that hole in the wall feeling! read more

Friendly service with good food. If you're in the neighborhood and need a decent diner try this one. It's comfortable and nice.

Really good food an excellent service. The prices are low...considering location and generous portions. We were there on a Saturday...at "peak brunch time." The restaurant was at full capacity, lots of noise and lots of families with lots of children. read more

I mean - it told me to "Eat Here Now" so I did. It is a cute little typical NYC diner and the food was really good. Service was great. The place is really, really small and you may have to wait a bit. In the winter it is a little uncomfortable because of that but otherwise a great experience. You could feel the community there. read more

Friday 1:00pm Party of 2 Strolling down Lexington Avenue and decided it was time to stop for some lunch and a cup of coffee on a cold January day. There are booths and tables. We were seated at a table for 2 and given menus right away. We ordered water to start with While we perused the menu. The restaurant is small with seating close together, so we got to over hear the conversation Of the two people next to us. We were glad when they left. We ordered the Balboa sandwich: roast beef with Swiss cheese and fries. It came with two slices of of fresh tomato and Two pickle slices. The bread used for the sandwich was similar to a flat hamburger bun. The meat was good, not fatty And not salty. There weren't too many fries but that was fine. We were planning on dessert. After the sandwich we ordered coffee, which was very good and a slice of warm apple pie. The waitress suggested A slice of cake and the cake in the refrigerated case looked tasty, but glad we stuck with the apple pie. The dishes Were cleared off our table quickly and we did not feel rushed out at all. Very nice staff. read more

Cramped diner in NYC especially during winter when everyone is coming in with additional attire for the cold and there is no outside seating to expand, but I would venture to say that this is part of the allure. The summary is this... Diner food, pretty standard, rushed service but almost to be expected, it is NY and the place is busy. So dine in, pay, and leave... read more

I am a breakfast person, I ended stopping at this diner for lunchtime and ordered Eggs Benedict (Salmon) with a cup of coffee. I've ate a lot of eggs Benedict brunches here in NYC and this was by far the best. From a crunchy English muffin to the creamy flavorful hollandaise sauce. The serves was great and fast, everyone was attentive and super friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking diner food or something quick but too heavy. The food was light, not greasy. Next time around, I want to try the Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken. read more

Cute little diner-like place. My cousin and I were looking to grab breakfast and stumbled upon Eat Here Now and we did just that! I had a BLT and my cousin had an omelette. The service was great, our waitress was attentive. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. Inflation has really hit because our breakfast consisting of a BLT w avocado, omelette and 1 iced coffee was $45. I thought that was pretty pricey. My cousin's omelette was $18. Other than that it's a convenient location off the train. If you want a quick sit down breakfast in the neighborhood "eat here now!" read more

It was a restaurant that my husband and I just happened to stumble upon. And we were glad we did the service and the food was great

Loved the hospitality!!! Food was great. I had an omelette and grilled cheese and loved it, will def be back.

They even introduce you to the regulars you sit next 2 in such a loving way. read more

A very good diner in Manhattan, this restaurant has good burgers, good ice coffee, excellent desserts and the staff is very friendly to its customers. When I lived in New York City, this was one of my favorite diners. They take cash and credit cards. The place is very small though so you might have to eat at the counter. read more

Eat Here Now has been here forever. I'm not sure why it appears to be a new business unless it's under a new owner. They sure are providing top quality service. Every employee was really nice and working hard, and in cooperation with each other. When I said I wanted to sit inside I showed proof of vaccination and was told I could sit wherever I wanted. I took a nice booth in back facing the door. I had a nice window view too. There's partitions between booths for added safety. I knew what I wanted so my order went in quickly. I forgot to say sweet potato fries and they brought out regular. I said it was my error and I would be glad to pay for both. I still wanted the sweet potato fries to eat. They wouldn't hear of it and didn't charge me for my error. I ordered my usual grilled cheese sandwich with American Cheese on Rye Bread and it was spectacular. Not dripping in grease. Toasty and tasty. I left satisfied with the food and the charge of $14.05 is reasonable compared to diners in my neighborhood. I left a good tip to cover the excellent service from all employees! I'm recommending you visit here for their extensive menu and old school diner atmosphere. Plus there's lots of seating both inside and outside. They're Worthy of Ten Stars if I could give them. read more

I can tell how much I'm going to love a place by how I feel when I immediately walk in. Either I'm really intuitive or rigid in my first impressions, but I'm always right on it. When I walked into THIS PLACE? Immediate laughs and good energy. I was greeted by the owner Jack who said he has been here since the 1980s after he saw the year I was born on my vaccination card. He told me about his twins who happened to also be my age and really had me entertained from the second I sat down. Don't even get me started on Debra! What a beautiful person inside and out. Hilarious. She made me feel like I was a regular here and it was my first time here. I'm debating being a regular here, seriously. After eating, I felt so cozy that I didn't even wanna get up and go. I ordered the BLT, went to use the bathroom, and when I came back out it was on the table. QUICK. They let me try their fries too and wow. So crispy and perfectly salty. I'm not kidding the service here is super efficient. One of the fastest I've ever seen! I sat here for a while with my tea, my book, and giggling with Debra & Jack. This is what I love about down to earth, local businesses. Yeah, I could have went to Jojo (some upscale place) around the corner. But would I have laughed this much and ate this good? The BLT slapped. Served with pickles and a side salad. Perfect crispy bacon and pickles that were just the perfect amount of sweet and sour. See you next weekend read more

Such a friendly staff for the most part when you walk right through the doors. It is my go-to diner in the area, and I've already been here 5-6 times. My go-to is the omelette with spinach and bacon. They cook their omelettes so well and the toast and home fries are distinguishable from other diners in the area that I've been to. Decently priced menu, and the service is pretty quick. Overall, I highly recommend this diner - you will not regret it! read more

Went in here expecting to order decent, local diner food. Although the service here was EXTREMELY quick, then food was subpar. Ordered the Lox bagel for brunch however it was disappointing. There was too much salmon in the ratio, which also tasted a bit fishy. I was hoping this was served with capers, however just onion and tomato and green salad on the side. It was overall an unpleasant dish. Western omelet was decent as well. Nothing special. Better to order from a local deli or bagel shop. Would not recommend it. read more

One of the more unique names you will hear. This is your classic diner with all the fixings. The breakfast is served hot and fast. I went with the omelette and homefries.

This place is like a warm sweater that you have had for years :) the staff is very warm and welcoming and the food.. if you can't fix something to eat here not sure what to tell you.
