Try: Chicken & Pancakes, Corned Beef Hash, and Chicken Noodle Soup! Why: Took my parents to an early brunch and we enjoyed Chicken & Pancakes, Corned Beef Hash, and Chicken Noodle Soup! They were able to sub the waffles for pancakes, which was a huge stack of 3 fluffy pancakes topped with juicy fried chicken and maple syrup. Very filling and easily shareable. My dad got the Corned Beef Hash with eggs sunny side up. It also came with lots of sliced potatoes, which had slightly crispy edges. We dipped them in genie house sauce that was flavorful. Mom was craving soup to settle her tummy and she really liked the broth of Chicken Noodle Soup. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I washed down my food with mimosas that was nicely filled to the brim. Notes: Hostess and Waiter were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Waiter gave good recs too and kept the mimosa flowing. Clean spacious diner with large booths and table inside, and outside seating. We came at 11am before the brunch crowd so restaurant was about 1/2 capacity, by the time we left it was packed. Lots of families and strollers. We had a corner booth near front window, great location for people watching while enjoying a meal. Overall, good service, good brunch atmosphere, and good food. read more

'Green Kitchen's philosophy is a commitment to providing wholesome, sustainably sourced ingredients that celebrate the richness of nature. We believe that good food starts with good choices, which is why we partner with local farmers and suppliers to bring you the finest, freshest produce and proteins. Our menu is a reflection of our dedication to a healthier lifestyle without compromising on flavor.' Green Kitchen is living up to its philosophy by offering healthy grains, salads, soups and a wealth of options. Rochelle and I met up for lunch and dined Al fresco. The menu offers really tantalizing options: burgers, pancake options, salads, etc. Rochelle has been on an Eggs Benedict kick and that was her choice. I ordered an egg white spinach mozzarella omelette. There are options such as home fries, French fries or salad as sides to accompany the entree. We both chose home fries and whole wheat toast for my omelette. Rochelle ordered a regular iced coffee took one sip then one sip of my iced cappuccino and decided my cap was better. Here's how our entrees tasted: -Eggs Benedict: Two poached eggs on an english muffin with canadian bacon and avocado, topped with chipotle hollandaise sauce. I tasted the avocado and it was creamy and fresh. Rochelle enjoyed her meal immensely. -Egg White Omelette with spinach and mozzarella is made with three eggs, side of whole wheat toast and delicious home fries. The portion is generous and filling. This is part of build your own omelette on menu. -Iced Cappuccino: cream, dreamy and frothy, tbh, no added sweetener needed. -Service: courteous although I asked for iced water with lemon and received just water. Green Kitchen is a fine place for any meal; breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner. There is a Happy Hour weekdays from 11am-7pm. GK is a five star experience, however, loss of one star is the attention to details: we wanted to pay in cash but needed change from a big bill. The server took the bill and some confusion later " the bill you handed is not enough to pay the bill.." Okey dokey. GK is definitely a nice post shopping ( Bloomingdales), gym or meet up for a meal.

came on a wednesday night for a quick dinner. been wanting to try this spot since theyre a chain thats been open since 1930s thats incredible! the outside is super cute with the green building and florals all over. inside was quite a big space with lots of seating. we were immediately seated and got to ordering. staff was on top of it with the water refills and bringing our food at a good time. i ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. nothing special here but definitely a solid and quick meal thats definitely on the healthier side - sometimes you gotta enjoy a simple meal. def would recommend and come back read more

Delicious food, nice staff, and good drinks. The hibiscus margarita was meant to be spicy but wasn't. It was still good, though. Really enjoyed the turkey burger and the people I came with got Cobb salads with salmon. Wish I got a photo of the food. Definitely recommend a reservation for weekend brunch as it gets busy. The outdoor seating is nice and comfortable. Saw several cute pups out there as well! read more

Green Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

With what I think are identical menus, I'd rather go to Green Kitchen on E. 84th. The uptown branch has comfortable booths, more conducive to conversation. 70th Street does not, and with bad acoustics I could barely hear my friend talk. And she was sitting next to me! I was unable to capture my favorite component of dinner: avgolemono soup. (Photography is not my forte.) The soup was rich and lemony, just as I like it. The difference between a cup and bowl is only $2, so if you're a soup-person it makes sense to get the large and bring home what you don't finish. I paired my soup with a chicken salad sandwich, a measly 2 stars. It was bland and mushy. (My husband will be getting the half I didn't eat for dinner tonight!) His order, a Tijuana chicken sandwich, was a better choice. It was piled with bacon, pepper jack cheese, red onions and guacamole. My friend awarded her turkey burger four stars. It looked good, not as dry as turkey burgers tend to be. Green Kitchen does a great job with fries. The fries T and I shared were crisp and salty. (I took way more off his plate than I planned.) R's sweet potato fries were equally good. Our waitress -- whose name I didn't catch -- was terrific. Sweet and attentive without being annoying. Actually we liked everyone who came to our table. Green Kitchen has been in business since the 1930s. I'd consider it a hybrid of a diner and restaurant. They may take reservations, but we never make them. The menu is extensive enough that you'll inevitably find something that suits you. (Just don't get chicken salad.) read more

Stopped in here for some drinks and a bite and it was great! They have lots of happy hour drinks available, all the ones we tried were very good. It started pouring when we were outside and the host was super quick to get us seated inside which was great. Drinks did take awhile to come out, but the chaos of the rain may have switched some things around. We got the salmon burger which was very good! Will be back. read more

Green Kitchen - Burrito Bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Buffalo wrap had great flavor, but was a pain to eat. They wrapped it with a lot of newspaper, so it was a struggle to gradually get it off, and toward the end, the whole thing just fell apart. Fries were good. Could've used a little more salt. Oreo milkshake was amazing. Pretty similar to the chickfila one, but thinner density. Paid $38 for just those few things :( Bartender was attentive. Very busy place with nice atmosphere. read more

Disappointed, I ordered the chicken salad to go because I saw how amazing it looked online. I ordered grilled chicken instead of crispy & apparently you get the garlic bread only if you order the crispy chicken salad. Wish the menu stated this. I was very disappointed when I opened my salad since basically it was $25 for a basic cesar salad. read more

Walked in for breakfast/brunch brunch on a warm spring morning, and Green Kitchen was buzzing! The place was packed with groups of families, many with small children, as well as other small and large groups. The dining space was spacious and the covered outdoor patio was also quite large. The bar area also had high tops, so there are plenty of seating options. The hostesses were friendly and seated us right away. Overall service was efficient and pleasant, and the food was fresh and cooked well. I could appreciate the traditional diner vibes with an updated modern twist. We had the oatmeal with berries, Mexican burrito, and the Vegetarian omelette. The food came out steaming and was delicious, hearty and filling. They definitely have a great variety menu items. We didn't have anything to drink this time, but next time I'll have to try one of their mimosas or espresso martinis! We had a great time at Green Kitchen overall! It was lively and vibrant. Definitely a great way to kick off a weekend! read more

This restaurant is such a cute upscale diner vibe for a weekend brunch. The menu was honestly insane and had all kinds of food options. Sometimes that is scary but honestly we had a great breakfast and everything we saw pass by looked phenomenal. Service was good even though it was busy. We did have a period where we had to wait a bit for butter and more water but it was noon on a Sunday. Portion sizes were really big so decent bang for your buck. Comforting meal, decent service, but nothing super crazy. read more

I walked in with my friend on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. Service was a little slow - they were very busy. But our drinks took awhile to get. We got: - Chipotle chicken panini with fries ($24): I really enjoyed this! The fries were the exact crispiness I wanted. The sandwich is huge so I only had half. It's not really a panini because it was stuffed and not flat. - lychee martini - margarita - chicken Marsala: my friend enjoyed this! It came with a side of pasta (which I had a bite of and enjoyed) read more

We came to Green Kitchen for breakfast. It was nice that we could get in without a reservation. We were seated pretty quickly. I had the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. It was good but a bit too salty. I also had a side of berries ($10). The berries were very fresh, and it was a large portion. I tried some of my friend's home fries and they were great! I like this casual brunch spot, and I would come back! read more

Green Kitchen is the best spot in the neighborhood for breakfast, lunch, or brunch! It never disappoints, every meal I've ordered has been excellent. My usual breakfast order is the Athenian omelette or two eggs over easy with bacon, and their turkey BLT for lunch. The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic, the service is always excellent, and the food is delicious! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. A must try in the neighborhood. Add this to your weekly rotation! read more

I don't typically travel uptown but I imagine with this congestion toll, these restaurants will be getting more of my business! This one definitely will be! First off happy hour starts at 11AM daily! Where they do that at? Pretty dope. I had the hibiscus toddy. The flavor was kinda there- it was just too syrupy and sweet in texture and taste. The food 10/10 my omelet was cooked to perfection! The French toast is exactly what you want how you want it. Sugar cinnamon and a nice thick cut! THESE FRIES THO!!! I asked the waiter if he recc I get the home fries or the French fries . He said the fries because they are not frozen they are cut and fried in house. They came out hot and absolutely delish. This just might become my regular uptown brunch spot read more

This Green kitchen location is in the 70's on the Upper east side. I had never stepped foot into this location so I was excited to try it. There are other locations around the city. We came here on the earlier side on a Friday. We got a table in the back no problem and did not need to wait. Our waiter was nice too. For food I got an omelette with mushrooms, cheese and avocado and my mom got eggs with ham. Both dishes came with breakfast potatoes which are not my favorite here. We both also got hot chocolate's with whipped cream and a cherry and a chocolate syrup drizzle. The one downside of this location is that for 9:00 in the morning the music was on the loud side. read more

Consistently worse every time I go. It was basically empty and the server took 20 minutes to come over and never saw him again. Coffee came out after our food. 3/4 meals tasted like nothing, were overly greasy, and cold. Music was blasting. read more

3.5 stars for me / Came here for a work holiday party so didn't have to pay the bill but prices were ok. $18 for fried pickles seemed normal for the area and at least it was tasty and different. Substantial drink menu as well. Also tried crab croquettes and fish tacos. The tacos were soft shell double and soft fish not deep fried so although there was nice green toppings it was a little too soft overall for me. Spinach and artichoke dip was nice but the pita wasn't fresh or crunchy or soft and warm... it was a weird in between. Two gender neutral large bathrooms. It's a good spot but seems way better for breakfast. read more

We randomly strolled in here one night it was pouring. We really wanted to wait the rain out and had just finished having dinner somewhere else. This place was very welcoming, we sat at the bar, talked had margs from the happy hour menu. Had a few rounds before we left... we enjoyed the drinks and service. Yes, when in the area we will be back to try the food. Thanks. read more

Green Kitchen is outright amazing. This UES staple does everything right. From generous portions to delicious food and amazing staff, the experience here is always impressive. Some highlights of this trip were the Oreo Pancakes, Spicy sausage rigatoni, and Crispy chicken Caesar. With beautiful outdoor seating and menu options for everyone, it's impossible to go wrong.

Brian was really friendly and I liked the bowl I got for brunch yum! I would go back.

Came here with a reservation on a Saturday around 9:30 am but I don't think we needed one. There was plenty of seating. The burrito and French toast were good and fresh squeezed OJ, though pricey, is always good. The latte was also pretty good and the service was friendly. Food didn't take long and I also noticed this place is dog friendly. read more

omg it's a MUST go!! the chicken gnocchi (pro tip: ask for pesto gnocchi instead of the cheese) and wow, simply delicious! but what i will absolutely be coming back for is the chicken caesar salad - might actually be the best chicken caesar salad i've had to date. there is a ton of seating available inside and out. will definitely be coming back to try their brunch because i have heard it's really good. service is quick and the staff there is not like 5 stars because they weren't the best at checking up on us but it was still a great experience read more

found this spot through tiktok we were in the UES area. ver aesthetic looking , outside seating beautiful inside. bathrooms are clean and the sink is in the outside. my 8 year old daughter got the french toast kids meal and disappointedly she didn't like it I even had my 12 year old try it and same so i'm not sure what it was but they were not fans like how you mess up french toast . My 12 year old had a grill cheese with bacon and loved it. my husband ordered the steak quesadillas delicious. I ordered a chicken panini but it was more like a club sandwich it wasn't pressed like other paninis the chicken was cut very thick and lacked flavor. unfortunately I didn't finish it, the fries were way over cooked. the sangria was delicious and strong. my husband had the hibiscus margarita it was blah he ended up ordering a beer on draft stella. we put our drinks order right away but to put out good order we wished a while tried to falg the waiter seemed he was the only one doing outside table orders and inside I felt bad. the hostess helped with filling up the waters. Unfortunately it's not a place we will do again. read more

We were excited to try GK for the first time but left feeling disappointed. The restaurant was somewhat busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly but the service was subpar. Waiter was curt and didn't even look at us while we ordered --strange.. Ordered the steak and eggs and chipotle chicken wrap. The steak was very bland and in need of salt. The amount of chicken was good but also lacking in flavor. Would say both the french fries and bfast potatoes were the highlight of the meal. Thought the meals were overpriced for the quality you get. The ambience is chill and cozy which I like and the menu is broad but didn't quite deliver on this occasion. read more

Green Kitchen - Skirt Steak and Eggs, Chipotle Chicken Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Green Kitchen 1325 Second Avenue is located at 70th Street. The original diner style Green Kitchen that I loved closed and even before that they made their locations fancier with higher prices. This location is very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating galore. We were greeted at the reception podium by a very nice friendly yet professional young woman. Although I miss the old diner setting of the historic location I can say the menu still stands as I remember it. I had the Buttermilk Pancakes with lots of butter. My daughter had a omelette for breakfast. I'm hoping that this location does well. I do like the space better than the location closer to my apartment. Today was a special Memorial Day treat but I doubt I'll be visiting frequently. It's a nice place to suggest for my visitors when they come to town!! I'm recommending. read more

Ordered a hamburger tonight and I hardly ever have a hamburger! It was absolutely delicious and humongous also! The person who took my order was so sweet and he got it perfect to every single detail. I would definitely continue to re-order and re-order here it's just that this was the first time I think I had a hamburger! It's a great vitamin B 12 food and that's what I needed for energy and I've my energy back! Anyway, without hesitation, I recommend this restaurant and I used to go in person all the time and I can't wait to return, but meanwhile, I've been ordering up and the delivery came nice and hot and absolutely delicious and even the delivery person was sweet from the store directly.

It's a sad day in America when a mediocre salad and a sandwich runs you $75+. This place is a diner on its best day.

You can do better. read more
