I used to come here all the time, now rarely. Recent visit reminded me why. Waitress is nice but owner is never around and the result is terrible kitchen. If you enjoy bacon that tastes like rubber, or toast that is not even put in toaster, then this is your place. Oh.. And try ordering delivery after 8pm and have "juan" hang up on you. Much better places nearby. read more

They do not honor the Yelp coupon / discount! Because of this I felt like I was being ripped off. Waitress claimed to not have any idea what it was, which is hard to believe seeing that other reviewers had the same exact issue. Besides that- below average diner food and uncomfortable middle school cafeteria-like aluminum seating. read more

I enjoyed this place a lot. Service was fast. Food was good, not great, but I left very satisfied. Best part about this place is the ambience. The scenery and tiles and everything is very cool and they have a big fish tank in the back. It was cool to go to a legit New York style little diner, not touristy or anything. Recommend if you want an authentic diner. Little pricey but not horrible. read more

Grumpy cat (first world) real time lunch review y'all.... Ordered delivery. Came reasonably quickly. Portions fine-to-generous for the area and price points. What wasn't fine for the price point were the ingredients used versus those listed on the menu. Very cool to have a BYO Omelette option. Looked like the innards I ordered, though the cheddar was mixed into the omelette along with the other add ons....making it a hardly distinguishable flavor, and for a dryer omelette. Hearty amount of potatoes and omelette size....but I selected home fries....not cubed potatoes (there's a difference). They honored substituting fettucinni for penne (props)...but they list this as a dish with shiitake mushrooms...they use white button. Rather significant price and flavor differential. Had I been eating in, this would have been sent back; nearly $15 before tax/tip for vegetarian pasta with button mushrooms? I think not. Flavors were good....tossed salad was good (not just iceberg)....seems like they're trying to give great quality....so rounded the 2.5-stars up to 3.......but I'll think a few times - and likely have to exhaust other area options - before trying Moonstruck again, as I now have no idea if I'll get that for which I paid. read more

I am never go there again !!! I was there with my girl friend and we ordered a steak, they bring it in half hour and you can't even chew it!!!! I asked to call me a super and the don't even find him... Guys that work there they all Mexican and they don't even speak English good enought to take my order.... read more

I think this is my harshest Yelp review, but I had to write it: Went there on a Saturday. It wasn't busy. I got a hamburger. The lettuce was disgusting. It was rotting, I put it on the side. Afterwards, I told the waitress (who was great), and she said they could have changed it. But my burger should have not been served a nasty piece of lettuce. The meat wasn't good. It wasn't seasoned. It was supposed to have truffle mayo, I didn't taste it. I had to add a bunch of ketchup to eat it( I was starving). The worst hamburger. My boyfriend had a veggie sandwich, the only vegetarian option. He didn't enjoy it. The ciabatta had exactly three ingredients inside. Slices of completely unseasoned (not even salt) portobello and zucchini, and some mashed avocado that tasted like it the only reason they used it was that it was about to turn. It seems as if the kitchen staff have zero experience with vegetables! The concept and execution both were terrible; did they even try the sandwich concept before putting it on the menu? How do you forget to salt or season the dish in any way? It's not like the place was busy... I'm leaning towards the recipe being written that way and the kitchen staff not caring. However, the waitress, and service overall, was great. Hope they find somewhere better to work. read more

Disclaimer: I do not live in NYC so my knowledge of how diners operate in the city is limited. So we went here as a plan B after the first brunch spot was going to take too long. The food was fine- I created a breakfast wrap with egg whites and veggies and the side of potatoes were good (my 'well done' requests was acknowledged). The prices were alright, except why do I have to pay for an iced tea refill?!?! This was the 2nd time I experienced this while in the city. I wouldn't die to go back here, but if you're looking for a place to grab a bite, this one should do. read more

You can always count on a robust American Breakfast at Moonstruck. Greasy turkey sausages and a cheddar cheese omelette, washed down with weak coffee and a big OJ. If you didn't have a smile when you arrived you will have one when you leave. read more

Was passing by looking for some coffee and breakfast and I'm glad I stopped in! Very clean and service was great. The coffee and the food (omelette) were delicious. Will definitely stop in next time I come to NYC! read more

Don't get me wrong but I love Diners. Like love them more than a pub or a bar and this one is one of the most prettiest diner I have even seen. Done in pale shades of blue and silver, the decor justifies its name- moonstruck. Their bakery section is amazing and the coffee was nicely roasted. read more

Service is great and the place is really cute inside, menu is on the pricier side. I tried the waffle fries which looked awesome but tasted meh, the ranch dressing also wasn't good. read more

The portions here, wow! I had a breakfast burrito with chili, egg, cheese and ended up eating the second 1/2 of it for breakfast the next day. It came with herbed potatoes with fresh herbs, which was unexpected. Coffee was good and even though I am left handed and had to hold their mugs backwards I still thought they were neat. Service was great, they were very kid friendly and the server obviously had children with how interactive he was with my son. Food waskn our table less than 10 minutes after ordering. read more

Ok, so far they don't take the posted coupon. Grrrrr.... The staff is generally nice and the menu is quite large. The place is tasteful and clean. Food: good, basic fare - no complaints read more

A diner that can't make a BLT. Sad says I. White hard tomato. Wimpy awful lettuce. Tasteless coleslaw. No service. Stick to breakfast and keep it simple. XOXOXO read more

First of all, this place is open 24 hours! So one morning when my friend and I were just heading home from a night out, and starving, we walked by this place and originally just went there because it was one of the few places open at 6:30am on a Saturday morning. They have a pretty big menu, and the prices are decent, not super cheap, but not unreasonable. I had an omlette with tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, and cheese and it was delicious!! The ingredients seemed fresh too. My friend ordered some other breakfast dish and we share our homefries and french fries and both were really good. Wide selection, good food, and open 24 hours, yes! Also I liked the location and it has big windows great for people watching. read more

I am so happy they opened back up! I love their chocolate chip pancake and chocolate milkshake! They have excellent service, especially in the morning time. The owner of the restaurant is so polite and very understanding of our dietary needs! If you are around the area make sure to be there before 3pm. Their grilled cheese with a side of mozzarella sticks is amazing! I would love to go back there. I wish indoor dining open because I know they will be so busy. read more

0K SO I ordered, Philly cheese steak Deluxe, onions no peppers on a Hero or long Roll, coke no Ice with a slice of Lemon Gravy for the chips.- I got - CHEESE STEAK on Kaiser Roll with peppers and onions coke with Ice no lemon, Ketchup No Gravy. I was Just gonna accept all the mistakes (typical Aussie) then I remembered I'm a New Yorker!!! Plus can't eat the Peppers. So Sent it Back, (Stupid, I Know But it's an open Kitchen. steak was Bland and tasteless, The Gravy had been brought out prior to the Send back So Now it'S cold with that layer that forms over it ! the Bread is now Turkish Bread (still not a hero) coleslaw had No flavour to it what so ever I might as well have just bitten into a head of raw cabbage. Completely Dissatisfied! 'won't be coming back!!! Not even a discount for Fucking it all up and having to wait another 15 minutes. Where are all the Greek Diner OWNERS???? read more

Thank God someone invented ketchup, mayo, salt, and pepper without it our food will be tasteless. Serving, service and ambiance is okay. Definetely not coming back :) read more

I come at least once a week after work for dinner. I always get the pasta (angel hair), garlic chicken or omelette. They are all good tasting and satisfying when you are hungry! Staffs are very nice all the time too! read more

The place has probably one of the best breakfast specials in town, if you happen to be near or even thinking about going (on a weekday!) you really want to go. On weekdays, before 11am, they serve a breakfast special with your choice of omelette/pancake etc, including free coffea/tea and juice. Had the california omelette which tasted like a piece of heaven, try it! Dont let the interior stop you from going there, although it has a feeling of a truck stop, it is really one of the best breakfasts I have had in town. read more

Looking for a quick tasty brunch and that's what I got. Service was rapid, and the waitress was honest and helpful when exploring menu options. I had a standard Greek omelet with spinach and it was tasty (although the spinach was clearly from a can). The seating was stainless steel and a little uncomfortable. But overall it was a standard diner experience with quick, hot food for reasonable prices. read more

Overall not amazing but not awful or disappointing. At first I was skeptical but the food was adequate enough to change that. The flavors weren't mind blowing but it wasn't under-seasoned. I ordered a patty melt with sweet potato fries. The patty melt was good and filling, the sweet potato fries were weird. At first the fries on the plate and the top of the cup were good and normal, but when I started to eat from the container cup they became sour and bitter. HOWEVER, what saved the day was the fried Oreos, those were absolutely delicious. I didn't get them with ice cream because it's too cold outside. Soooooo good. I definitely recommend if you don't really have anywhere to go or desperate, if you have solid interesting plans don't push things to make extra effort. read more

Myself and two friends went to this diner for a 3pm snack on Sunday 23rd September 2012. We were greeted by a very moody and unfriendly tall girl, who seemed annoyed she had to serve someone. The place was empty, was very hot (no air con) and smelt a little musty. It had a 'B' rating but seemed really dirty inside. We sat down at a booth and the girl dumped 3 menus in front of us and wandered off. I asked for a coke and she returned a while later and pretty much told me to get out of the way, so she could put the coke on the table. She was so rude and upset myself and my two female friends. She had such a bad attitude we decided to leave. The place had a really bad atmosphere and was so unfriendly. None of the staff seemed to give a damn about the place or their customers. We got up and went to leave and a male member of the staff at the door looked at us to ask why we were going, so I told him I did not like the way we were treated by the girl and that the server was rude and probably shouldn't be employed by them with her attitude!! A guy with a shaven head, wearing a purple sports vest behind the bar told me to "F Off" and to get the "F out of their place!" I couldn't believe their attitude and felt like I was in some ghetto town, not midtown Manhattan!! I politely pointed out how I felt and he seemed ready to fight at any point. Having a law enforcement background, I decided it wasn't worth continuing the discussion, I had better things to do with my time on a Sunday afternoon! I will not be going here again and advise anyone in the area to find another diner. There are plenty of them around and I reckon this one could end up going out of business pretty soon, with the way they treat customers!!! We walked a few blocks south and had a very nice meal in another diner on 2nd Ave!! read more

I've been here a few times and the service is always slow. The breakfast food is fairly good, but nothing above average for a diner. I ordered a pasta dish with cheese once and it looked like someone boiled the pasta, threw sauce from a jar on it, put cheese on top and microwaved it. It was disgusting. read more

This little diner by my house has quickly become a favorite dining spot! I've been here for brunch twice in the past month and then again for dinner last night. I'm partial to the turkey burger deluxe, with my only complaint being that there are always TOO many french fries. I also highly recommend the french toast, and the pizza burger. The next thing I'm dying to try is the chicken fingers...a diner staple that is actually very difficult to get right. I want to see how well my favorite diner handles the breaded chicken strips! Mostly I love this place because of it's location on 58th St. and 2nd Ave. It's never too busy, but never empty either. It's the kind of place you can bring friends for a quick bite, or a place where you can go on the weekend for some eggs and bacon while you read the Sunday paper. The decor is fabulous...a very modern style with lots of silver metal booths and psychedelic tiles on the walls and table tops. Going to the Moonstruck Diner is always fun! read more

Unhappy and food not even here yet. A 20% online yelp coupon to show your server was denied at restaurant on 9.17.2013. Whats the point of having online offers if they tell you to print it before you get there. Repeat, they did not honor the Yelp online coupon for 20% off. I showed the manager and waiter the coupon on my phone and they told me I had to print it. The restaurant should train their staff before offering deals they aren't going to honor. After that, they messed up my order. Also not the cleanest. read more

I have loved the Cobb salad with grilled chIcken breast for a long time and highly recommend it. But today my order was off and the culprit was the chicken breast. It had an odd texture and was tough and fibrous and really unpalatable and unappetizing. I was able to work things out with the with the waitstaff and management - thank you! I looked online and found out some information about a growing condition in the industry called "woody breast". Look it up! The meat was perfectly fine to eat but the texture really ruined this typically delicious and filling salad. read more

Nothing about this place particularly stands out as awesome, except that their servers are on top of their stuff. They fill your water/coffee practically every time you take a sip and are very speedy at getting you your food. (Which I'm not so sure is a good thing.) Big portions, large menu, affordable, breakfast served all day, and decent food. read more

Moonstruck is a diner I don't have anything bad to say about, but nothing exceptionally good, either. It's a little bit cramped in its layout, making it a little difficult to bring a group to. I've been there 3 times or so though over the last year, so it clearly has some appeal. I'd have to say the best stuff they seem to have in there is breakfast and dessert. The small space does make it somewhat intimate, perhaps a good place to take a date for a piece of cake after a nice evening...or maybe breakfast the morning after that nice evening. ;-) read more

As far as diners go, this one is a keeper. Fast delivery, huge portions. If you stop in, you'll find its rarely crowded but never empty. Always perfect for a cheap, quick bite with friends or when you're on your own. read more

I had a terrible meal here with friends. There was a large group of us eating before an event. There were a group of 10 of us, so I called ahead. Since we were getting there at 6pm on a Tuesday night, I was told it shouldn't be a problem. The woman I talked to said that she would let whoever worked the next day to set up the table for us before we got there even though they didn't take reservations. We got there, and the table wasn't set up. Not a big deal, because they fixed it for us in about 2 mins. Things started out normally, our drink orders were taken, and we received them pretty quickly. But that's when things started to go awry. We ordered our food and waited. And waited. And waited. At 6:40 when no one had received their salads or soups and we had somewhere to be at 7:15, I finally asked the waitress for them. She told me that they'd be out in a second. Then she proceeded to bring out soups one at a time while we waited. So it took about 6 minutes to deliver 5 hot soups. And then we finally got our salads as well. Then we waited some more. Our food came around 7, but some of it was really cold. One of my friends ordered pancakes, but they failed to bring her butter or syrup. After she asked for the 3rd time, she had to ask a different staff member who wandered by for them. She told him that she'd like to eat her food before it was cold. One of my friends ordered a gyro, and it came without tzatziki sauce. She asked for some, and she was given a thick, mayonnaise like container. When she told them that this was tartar, not tzatiki, they INSISTED that it was tzatziki and that this was what they always gave customers who asked for it. At that point, the waitress suggested she used the watered down balsamic or blue cheese that was already on the table instead of providing the real tzatziki. I ordered chicken parm and it was HORRIBLE. The sauce was really bitter. I've never had trouble finishing it. There were so many problems, I can't even explain them all. One of our favorites that made us laugh, was that about 20 mins after we ordered, the waitress came out of the kitchen to tell us that they couldn't make baked ziti. Yes, they had pasta. Yes, they had sauce. Yes, they had mozzarella cheese. But no, they could not make ziti. So she asked for pasta with sauce and cheese melted on it. We figure that they must make their ziti and freeze it and just pop it in the oven when someone wants it, and they were out of the pre-made variety. It was so strange! We also were told from one server that she'd bring us soda cans because the soda fountain was acting up, and then someone else brought us soda refills from the fountain. Just error after error. Anyway, I will NEVER go back to this diner. DISGUSTING food, awful service. Don't do it! read more

I have never had anything but a positive experience when I have been in this diner. The food has always been good and fresh. The service is always friendly and efficient. read more

Met a friend here for breakfast before going into work. He got two eggs, scrambled, with wheat toast and potatoes. I got two eggs, over medium, with wheat toast and potatoes. Everything was pretty good! The egg whites were fluffy, so whatever they do in the kitchen worked out OK. The potatoes were a little on the down side -- too many, kinda dry, cooled off quickly. I frankly didn't eat them. But everything else was good and hella affordable. I'd go back if in the area. The coffee was good, too. Start with the coffee. read more

Moonstruck is pretty solid. You have to take it for what it is; a diner. From breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, it's classic American fare. The type of food they have is pretty hard to mess up. The prices aren't bad either. When you're hungry and all else fails this spot will do. read more

Moonstruck is a NY diner to which I will not return. The food was good enough to be mediocre (although the fries had this crappy stuff on them I didn't like) but the service was horrendous. It was about 2:30 pm, no one else was eating and I still had to get up twice to ask for napkins and water. This moon is waning. read more

Decent diner. It looked pretty clean and isn't like one of the throwback old fashioned diners. I liked that. The bathroom made me feel like I was in an airplane. Standard diner food. Nothing stood out. Coffee was okay. read more

Went here a few times. Normally the food is OK and the service is OK. Tonight I went and was surprised they didn't offer they Yelp discount on their page. I was told the manager said they don't take it. Then why is it offered? Anyway, as I said the food was OK. The service was pretty bad. Had to ask for water and only received one glass, check was produced right after dinner without asking how it was or if I wanted anything else. I actually wanted some iced tea as I didn't have any water to drink. Disappointing. read more

Had breakfast at Moonstruck around 9 am on a Thursday. The diner was half full at best when we walked in and during the duration of the time we were seated. The host was very friendly and the bus boy/ water filler was over with glasses of water almost immediately when we sat down. The good service stops at those two. We waited seven minutes to be approached by our waiter and even continued to wait after I made awkward eye contact with other members of the staff. When our server finally does show up we ordered our entire meal: three orders of specialty pancakes, two sides of bacon, a side of turkey sausage, and home fries. The food didn't take too long to come out but everything was just mediocre at best. The bacon was thick cut and had good flavor but was too soggy and the sausage had obviously been fried instead of grilled. The home fries never appeared and we didn't see our server with any type of consistency to make him aware that we never received them until we were almost done eating. They made their way on to the bill, but was taken off once pointed out. All in all service left some to be desired and the food sufficed in filling my stomach. Sit down breakfast options are limited in this portion of the city so I would probably return. read more

Aloof service, huge prices and mediocre grub make this a lousy choice. They find new ways to disappoint with even the simplest of items. You can do a lot better in the 'hood (Madison, Morning Star, Ritz, Hamilton...heck at the Plaza across the street at least the people are nice). And you won't feel like you just underwent a colonoscopy when you get the check. Can I be clearer than this? AVOID THE MOONSTRUCK DINER BECAUSE IT SUCKS HARD. read more
