In line with what I'd expect from a diner! Relatively bright interiors, quick service, and noise levels on the quieter side. What we ordered: Mexican Frittata ($17.95), Tex Mex Scrambled ($17.95), and Strawberry Pancakes ($16.95). Unlimited coffee pours from $3.75! Javier our server was quick to take our order and was attentive. Great spot in the UWS area if you are looking for a quick bite. read more

Good quality diner. We visited Manhattan Diner with friends for a quick dinner in June 2025. The interior was stylish for a diner, all the food we ordered was good, and the portions were generous. Service was quick and courteous. My burger, ordered medium rare, came slightly overcooked but was still juicy -- fine for a diner. We recommend Manhattan Diner if you're in the area and looking for a quick, budget-friendly meal with decent quality.

Solid food, great service. Everything is made well and tastes good. Best diner in the UWS.

Amazing food and great portions. This is our go to brunch. We always get breakfast and good service.

If you like your food tasteless, this is the place to go. My hamburger was major disappointment. Service was ok.

Local UWS Diner where a lot of locals go to. This place is always packed every time I come but I appreciate that somehow there's always seating available. Remember to pay in the front before you leave. I ordered the Classic Denver Omelette and it was what you expect - egg, ham, bell peppers, and onions. I wish they had put a little more flavor in it, although tabasco does help, but it's essentially just all these raw ingredients in one. I do always appreciate the portion sizes as not only do you get the omelette but also you get this huge smashed/tater tot looking potato side as well as bread. However, I would appreciate if the quantities were a little less but they elevated the flavors. But then again, it's breakfast food so what can you expect. Overall, not a bad place for a diner if that's what you are craving. Not sure if this is where you will get all the flavors you ever wanted in the world, but what you read on the menu is what you get. read more

Solid diner in UWS with a large menu, friendly and fast service, and delicious food. We came here on a Sunday morning at 10:30 and even though it was packed we were seated right away! Service is attentive and refilled our water and coffee promptly, and food was fresh and hot. read more

Been a while since I was here and pleased to say that it's still a solid diner choice on the UWS. Met a friend here to chat over coffee and some snacks. Bonus kudos for actually cooking my fries as crispy like I requested. Too many spots don't listen and still serve them undercooked which is nasty to me! Fries need to be prepared crispy! read more

3.5 stars. Both food and service were as expected! I actually wasn't expecting much. It was basic diner food, but I was pleasantly surprised because I did enjoy most of the food. I got the Grilled Chicken Omelette and tried some of their pancakes. The Grilled Chicken Omelette was good. The chicken chunks were seasoned just right, and the omelette wasn't too salty or bland. The hash browns though were very bland and pretty undercooked. Their pancakes were good -- they were fluffy and perfectly cooked. They had just the right amount of subtle sweetness and eggy taste. They weren't too dry. The jams and pancake syrup comes in its own individually-packaged containers, which I don't prefer because it's wasteful, but it's probably standard across diners. The Viand a couple of blocks away seems to make their own homemade jams and doesn't use individually-packaged syrup containers. We pay the check at the cashier, so checking out might take a while if there is a long line and might feel rushed. Overall, not bad. Would return if I wanted diner food again! Would probably still choose to go to the Viand over here, but this isn't a bad option! read more

My favorite diner near my apartment. This is a rare find where they do everything from Omelettes, pasta, burgers, and everything else on the menu well. They take great care with packing their food to go so it's also a great option for takeout or delivery. read more

Let me cut to the chase: I believe I have had the finest tuna melt I have ever had. Served on the original version of an English muffin, the tuna salad itself was excellent, and the temperature of the tomato was absolutely perfect. The fries were sublime, and the coleslaw was exactly how it should've been, crisp without too much mayo or sauce. The iced coffee was strong and good, and they kept it coming at the table. I went there the next day for breakfast and was equally impressed with my omelette (the Athenian, for those of you who care about such things). The hot coffee was as good as the iced coffee and they kept my cup full (yes, I know, I said the same thing about the iced coffee, but in the morning this is especially important). Service is good, and the ambience stands on its own as a combination of traditional New York coffee shop/diner with a back room that reminded me of the Four Seasons (no, seriously, there's just something funky and modern about this area of the restaurant). This is my new favorite upper Westside dining locale (perhaps I don't have the most sophisticated palate). The only downside is, it's a bit pricey. Worth it? Yes. I'm going back again for breakfast tomorrow. read more

We've been here about five times and love it. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Always great service, great food. The veggie omelette is very good. Eggs Benedict. The pasta with vodka sauce is great. And the posters an tiles on the wall really say Manhattan. Between 94th and 95th on Broadway. A nice walk from the Metropolitan Museum. read more

The service from the waiter is horrible and I believe it's because of my race. I've seen him treat other races differently than how I was treated. I would greet him always with a sir and hello and thank you. His first response would always be "what you want". I've been coming here for over 15 years and he's a new waiter. He's a short Hispanic man with a resting Bitch face. I've even given him decent tips every time I came in with my family. The last and final time I came in to dine, I told him about himself and he apologized but, it's too late. The cashiers are always very nice and the managers as well but, that waiter has a huge problem with my kind and or me. Don't judge a book by its cover. If my family insist that we go back despite, I will ask to be served by someone other than him going forward. read more

I ordered a side of french fries and got them to go. I thought it would take a lot longer than it did. There was a speedy pickup process which made me happy, and they weren't soggy or too crispy and there was a decent amount of them in the container. They were perfect and gave me so many ketchup packets. I was really happy with my order. read more

WORST Turkey Burger I've ever had in my life. Described in the menu at "Grilled Juicy Turkey Burger." NOT. It seriously had the consistency of rubber, and I had considerable difficulty cutting it with my knife. I only ate the inside of the burger which was not juicy or moist, but the only edible part of the burger. The exterior was RUBBER. I kid you not. read more

Typical Diner and food. Usually busy, although this past Sunday not too bad around late breakfast time (10am-ish). We always get a table. My son asked to go specifically for the Lumber Jack breakfast combo: 2 eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage and a slice of ham. We had Lumberjacks all around - and for my order, they substituted the pancakes for a waffle even though the pancakes were fluffy and delicious, I had a bite. read more

Hello. I had the opportunity to try Manhattan Diner this morning for breakfast. The restaurant was clean and comfortable with a casual ambiance. Our server was friendly and efficient. I shared the lumberjack breakfast with my mother and my sister had the French toast with bacon. The portions are large and shareable. The pancakes were fluffy. I would have enjoyed them more if they were not slightly burnt. The French toast was also slightly burnt. Seems the cook has the flat top too hot. Anyway.. the rest of the meal was good. read more

Terrible I went to eat lunch and. my yelp where a coupon came up and they did not let me use it. George denied to even look at it and said they don't accept them. Horrible I would not return.

I am a regular at this place. However I have to comment on how unfriendly the woman is when you walk in. She doesn't crack a smile or say anything except give a dirty look. She was wearing a white top with a black bow around her neck. When I asked for the check she threw it at me. And I always tip well. I know a lot of the staff...Hugo, Jose, and more! I hope she gets the customer service training she needs!! read more

Manhattan Diner service was 5 stars all day! The food was good but the home fries were more like fried mashed potatoes- regardless the entire meal we had both times was absolutely delicious and our waiter was kind and fast! So was the wait time for the food, it all came out so quick. The mimosas were huge, the Benedict's were large and in charge and over all this was a fantastic spot for food and was super close to our hotel. The decor in the diner was retro and bathrooms were clean. We loved it so much. Will absolutely return for breakfast or lunch on our next trip to Manhattan. read more

After years I revisited this Diner. Started with a waiting time, with several (I counted 7 when we got a table for 2) Throughout our staying all booths were unoccupied. Then food. I asked for a veggie burger. Super dried and no flavor. Very hard to eat. Service was scattered. We left thirsty. Not even a water service. Not a place I wanna dine again. read more

For $26 omelet, you should get what you ordered....especially if they have a section for "Special Instructions" and then not pay attention to them. No sugar added to coffee (like they used to do) No milk added to coffee ( like the used to do) No butter on the bagel No extra butter added No toasting of the bagel ....then the loser that answered the phone blamed it on Grubhub for allowing special requests. They SHOULD Pick up a phone and call and tell the customer why THEY can't send what was ordered. They guy that answered the phone clearly does NOT own the place because he was rude and an @$$hole. If you're the owner.. the guy answered my call at 10:48AM read more

A/45 years, my favorite coffee shop closed which left me with only the few that I believe are all owned by the same family. I stopped going here years ago, because the bus boys kept slamming the bin of dirty dishes into the wall while I ate and the hostess didn't want to hear about it. 25 yrs later, my biorhythms have finally settled down. There's a little sunlight in the front but when my friends & I came every Sat morning at opening time, the counter guy/waiter would always make us wait 20 minutes to bring water & coffee and take our order. Meanwhile others who arrived later had been served. My friends quit coming, even though one guy really liked their food, and now I go to the back to get different staff. As I always do - and they know me - I asked the bus boy when he brought water to bring lemon; as always, it didn't come. Forget about that I don't like ice in my water. I also always order the same thing and have tried to idiot-proof my order: 'two poached eggs in a cup, bacon, buttered rye toast, and potatoes'. This is the only meal I go out for in a seven day week and it used to be the highlight of my week. When my breakfast arrived, the toast was ice cold, the packets of butter were frozen, and my eggs were strewn across a dinner plate w/no spoon for their runny middles. With few exceptions, I don't find the family managers, cashiers, waiters & bus boys particularly friendly. The bathrooms are one person at a time which can cause a long wait. In addition, they always leave the check face up. The neighborhood needs a new coffee shop. read more

I've never had a bad meal here! Consistently good, whether it's breakfast/brunch or dinner. A classic. Long may this place reign!

Use to come here with a friend all the time before she moved. A great diner with great staff good food and great atmosphere.

This is just a plain old-fashioned good diner to go to for a basic meal. The espresso martini drinks that we ordered are quite good and the service was very satisfactory and if you're looking for a convenient diner to go to for a basic evening meal, I would highly recommend Manhattan diner as we will be returning the next time. We are in the area. read more

This was a small mediocre dinner for tourist. The menu was simple and didn't have anything that was especially appetizing. It is in a great location right off the one train on 96th St. Our hotel was right next-door so every morning we would wake up and go right down the street to have breakfast before starting our adventures. A few days we sat down and had bacon and eggs at home fries and other days we simply grabbed a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel on the go. So there are definitely options if you want to just grab a quick bite or sit down to have a meal. read more

Manhattan Diner I first started eating at Manhattan Diner when I lived on the West Side in 2002. My daughter would come over from Upper East Side and spend the day. We would stop here for lunch. It's a great spot to eat and delicious food typical for a diner. Like every diner I've had some service that was not up to par. The place was always clean and the food good. Prices are typical for UWS. If you like a New York diner atmosphere you'll get it here. I never leave hungry. Enjoy when you can get indoor dining some day! read more
