Great environment - friendly staff. Very accommodating to my autoimmune disease and making changes to the meal. French toast was delicious- would have liked more fruit on it. Generous portion sizes on all the entrees. Mimosas were $16 - a bit high I thought, especially since they weren't listed on the menu. Watch substitute costs - a fruit cup was $8 The omelettes are quite scrumptious. I substituted the home fries for a salad and added smoked salmon . Home fries were very gourmet, with good flavor and peppers and onions in them. Pancakes were not starchy, flavorful and dense...so good! read more

This place is very convenient for what it is. We walked right in- 11:00 am on a Saturday without a wait. The corned beef hash was amazing! read more

Pershing Square - There's no food to show because we are it all! - American Near Me - New York, New York

Hmm... The food was good. Definitely not a voluminous menu. Portion size reasonable (small by American standards, but actually probably more like healthy portions should be.) I had the Cobb Salad, a side order or fries and some cheese cake... plus Diet Coke (came in a small glass bottle) and Club Soda (came in a very small bottle) got hit for $60.00. Plenty of other places in NYC, but this one has the convenience of being located right in front of Grand Central. Atmosphere is nice. Seating quick. Waiters were good. Well managed. Probably more appropriate for a tourist coming in on the train than a regular hangout... I think the problem is that the place looks kind of "diner"-ish on the outside, but the menu styles and prices are anything but. read more

On our last day in NYC, we decided on Pershing Square. It's right across from Grand Central. It has a great ambiance to it. Our service was okay, I'm guessing because it was so busy. We had amazing seats in a booth looking out the window. I had the Eggs Royale and he has the Eggs Benedict. Very delicious. The food was amazing! Definitely recommend to anyone in NYC. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Thankfully it wasn't too crowded, so service was pretty fast. Had the lobster bisque (special for the day) and the roasted chicken. My friend had the shrimp escargot. Everything tasted ok. I had pretty low expectations for the bisque but it was decent. The chicken is as soft and juicy as ever, and the shrimp was nice. This isn't top of the line, run home and tell your mama about it, finger licking goodness, but I'd definitely go again. read more

A healthy mix of tourists and park avenue finance people here. I sat down for breakfast with a former colleague who recently quit the firm I work at. Since this is a dinner under a bridge, this location feels like somewhere you could insider trade, or have an affair, or even tinder swindle. This doesn't mean it's dumpy, it's pretty well kept together. It just has that financial crime / affair vibe, in my opinion. I had the Salmon Benedict which was pretty good, I also had a black coffee and some ice water. Everything was pretty good, and im not a breakfast guy. I look forward to coming back for more nefarious purposes in the future. read more

Terrible service. Our server made it feel like he didn't want us there. Food was overpriced and the pasta was hard. The venue was the only interesting thing about it. Shame. read more

Pershing Square - Cavatelli and Burrata Dinner - American Near Me - New York, New York

It's right across from Grand Central and feels like classic NYC with the velvet seat booths and dim table lamps. I came for dinner at 6 on a Friday and there were plenty of seats. The server was very nice and attentive. I got the spiked lemonade, chicken pot pie, and tiramisu. The spiked lemonade was tart and had passion fruit purée. Food was tasty. The tiramisu was very light and fluffy. Prices are a bit steep but they match the area. read more

Very cute restaurant, unique location (under a bridge) and fun music but that's where my compliments end. The service was awful. We had to flag down our server for various needs including to bring us water because we were never offered any and she never checked on us once we got our food. The food was bland and way overpriced. The fun atmosphere is not worth the cost and inadequate service. I will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Pershing Square - American Near Me - New York, New York

I've either driven past Pershing Square or hopped on a yellow cab, a gazillion times- but never really noticed it. Right in the middle of the Grand Central construction mess, Pershing Square is a funked out spot, with a cool 1920ish Art Deco groove. Once you get past the uninviting "foyer", Pershing opens up to an in-your-face style: Subway beams and red walls, pop all over. And that herringbone ceiling, just ties everything together. Simply put, Pershing, has all the elements of chic. My Shrimp "Escargots" and Mr. Man's Crabcakes with a Black Bean Salad were nicely done. What also did it for me, was that freaking Hot Chocolate. I was skeptical in the beginning but our server's key words were 'thick' and 'Valrhona Chocolate'-and then she had me at thick. I might be a bit passionate here since we only had two items and Hot Chocolate, but based on Pershing's vintage get up, service and thoroughness during our late night nosh, I'd return. read more

Food was good fast service and waiter was very helpful. We didn't have a reservation but the seated is quickly.

Vegetarian Chili & Cavatelli with Burrata, so good! When you just order water to drink it is from a fancy bottle! Very loud inside, but not so loud you cannot converse with company. Got the brownie & ice cream for dessert, it comes with a coffee ice cream and scoop of cream! Delicious! read more

Fancy and calm lunch in a fantastic atmosphere! Nice and classy place located on the heart of Manhattan. I had mushroom and barley soup, which was ok, but could have had a deeper mire intense flavor, and a burger. My friend has chicken and vegetable soup with a kale salad and chicken. read more

Location, location, location! Outside Grand Central Station a civilized place to stop for a drink and nibbles before hopping a train. Tables are well spaced, service is quick and--unlike the other nearby drinks places--you don't need to shout over the din. Hummus platter was enough for two and complemented the wine. No happy hour prices but worth the $ for the comfort and convenience-- and the chance of bumping into someone you know, which we did. read more

Such a NEW YORK casual vibe! Fast, great service! Friendly! Booths with street views! I'll be back next time!

Great location, great place, great service, great food. I had a burger and NY cheesecake, my colleagues had steaks and tiramisu and vanilla with chocolate chips ice cream. The only negative comment came out of any of us was about the tiramisu. My colleague said that he's had a much better one before. Their NY cheesecake is one of the best ones that I've ever had. A bit overpriced, but it's in the middle of the city next to grand central. Plus, some movies took place here. read more

Pershing Square - Eggs Benedict Breakfast - American Near Me - New York, New York

This is the closest restaurant to grand central station upon entering we were greeted and Gaven a table quickly, despite it being thanks giving. Me and my daughter were tiered and just looking for some good food, a server came to us and got us our drinks and everything was going well, my daughter asked for a sprite and they gave her a tiny sprite, it was definitely overpriced and ridiculous. Nonetheless we continued and since it was Brunch time, I ordered a steak and eggs and she ordered a burger, as she was eating we found a hair inside her burger, cooked in the meat we were completely disgusted, and we will not be returning despite being long term clients, they gave us the burger for free and 2/3 drinks for free, but overall it was a terrible experience, i would expect better from a restaurant that looks so fancy, and hold themselves to a high standard. read more

Our server was a little weird and unwelcoming; he looked/sounded unhappy... however we liked our dishes and the restaurant has a beautiful setup both indoor outdoor. read more

I came here because it is super convenient to grand central and loved it! - great ambience. This place doesn't suffer from the usual "extremely cold air conditioning" problem. - customized the daily special to exclude shrimp (allergy) and got the lobster tacos. It was fresh, light, fantastic flavor. Made with corn tortilla. Excellent!!! read more

Pretty basic menu (and service). We were originally seated right next to the bussing station, even though the place was relatively empty, and had to yell over the sound of plates/utensils being thrown into the bin. I spoke to the hostess about moving to another table and she seemed... unsure? And even after I showed her where we were going to move, we still had to flag down our waiter with our food and drinks afterwards. My onion soup was good, my moms omelette was good but cold. All in all, if you're in a pinch, this place is fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Confused by this place. Many people gave it high ratings but there is nothing special about this place except it's location (right in front of grand central). Everything was bland--the avocado toast was literally basic wheat bread skewered avocado and the poached egg looked made ina microwave. It left a lot to be desired including the service--nothing special read more

Beautiful restaurant, and great location. But... coffee was not great, service was spotty, and cheesecake, although delicious, was 10 bucks. Nope. Needs some work to make it better read more

Had a late breakfast here after an early morning flight into New York. Fun location, across the street from Grand Central Station. Service was friendly. We were seated quickly. Coffee was strong, as it should be! I had the omelette, which came with breakfast potatoes and toast. No complaints. Other orders at our table included the oatmeal, the smoke salmon and bagel, as well as the Brioche French toast, which came with bacon. It was really good. Nice cinnamon flavor. Could've had a little more fruit with it, but overall it was really very good. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Haven't been there for lunch, but breakfast was good and it was a nice atmosphere after early morning travels. read more

This place is pretty overpriced and the food is just soso. We came here on a Saturday morning at 9, so definitely on the early side. This place is convenient, we were meeting two of our friends who were taking the train into the city for the day. I came here with a party of four, and we were seated as soon as the host noticed us. Not sure where the host was, but it took a while for him to notice us. The staff here were all extremely harried and I don't know why, this place wasn't particularly crowded, but maybe they were understaffed. We had trouble finding someone to ask about getting our water glasses and coffee cups refilled. I ordered the eggs benedict, and it was fine, nothing to write home about. We are in NYC and there are so many brunch places, if I'm going to go to brunch and pay that much money then I'd really like to get better eggs. read more

Love love love their pancakes!!! It's the best I've ever had. I usually get the chocolate chip pancake and a side of ham. The portion was HUGE! Enough to feed two ppl. I wish they have short stack that I can have just one pancake. Unfortunately they don't. Price is high for breakfast. Be ready to spend at least $30/ person on breakfast. Service was also meh~ but hey definitely won me over with the best pancake! read more

It's an old school location nestled under Pershing Bridge and on foot over the road from Grand Central Station on 42nd street. Great ambience for a relaxed Sunday brunch / lunch experience. Tried the chicken pot pie which the establishment claims is the greatest in NYC. Personally it was a very good chicken pot pie but I always feel that the greatest pies have pastry not just as a lid but also surrounding the pie filling. That said it hit the spot ! read more

Burger is very greasy and fries are stale. $25. My group came in on a very cold day and I was so much looking forward to comfort food. I was disappointed. I think it is overpriced for the quality. Who puts a $28 salad on the menu and serves up something that tasted like CVS takeout? It would up being $50pp lunch with tip. Service is mediocre. Our servers looked sad to be working here. The maitre'd or general manager working that day seemed to be ignoring the customers. read more

I decided to drop in on a rainy day. It was busy but the seating moved rather quickly and service was awesome. Eggs Benedict was wonderful! It's a staple for me to have when eating in at places that have it on their menu. I would probably just change one thing. Ditch the salad bowl in the plate and put the salad in the plate with the Eggs Benedict. The ambiance was really nice and absolutely gives you the feel of NYC and how awesome it is! read more

Had dinner here last week and thought that the quality of the food was much better than when I had been in the past. (My last review was in 2013, but I'd eaten there any number of times since then, all pre-pandemic and had, candidly, grown less and less impressed by the food.) This time, I thought the food was really excellent. I had the French onion soup and the a grilled shrimp special served with risotto. The soup was more flavorful than soups I've had at other restaurants, though I thought there could have been more cheese. (I tend to like my French onion soup with cheese melting onto the sides of the bowl, but this cheese was a tame square confined to the interior of the circle. Tasty and melted, just not overflowing.) The shrimp and risotto dish was excellent. Would order it again in a flash. My friend had the Waldorf salad, and liked it a lot. It was a very generous portion too. Actually both dishes were. Wheelchair accessibility note: There's a ramp up to the restaurant entry and a large seating area on the main level. (Some areas with booths are up a couple steps on each side.) The main bathrooms are up a couple of steps, but from a long ago visit, I know that there's a wheelchair accessible bathroom off to the side by the end of the pastry counter, between the front seating area and the back area. When someone needed to use it -- ok, as much as a decade ago -- there was a lot of stuff being stored nearby that had to be relocated before the accessible bathroom could be accessed. I didn't think to check on this visit whether there was easier access now. read more

We came to this restaurant on Aug. 13, 2021 at 11:20 AM. Server twice came to our table without any mask or face covering. We were with my 97 year old father. Every other employee was wearing a mask as far as I could tell. We left without ordering. read more

Lucky enough to find this breakfast/brunch place while picking up my tween daughter on metro north across the street. I really didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.

You basically can get whatever you want for breakfast and everyone was happy. The coffee was super! read more

Nice location. And nice location. Not sure if the unfriendliness is for the tourists, but this NYer could've done without it.

The place is very comfortable, the breakfast was served very fast. There's a noise sometimes because of the avenue above, but nothing that makes it a bad experience. read more

Are you ready for an extremely mediocre meal? A meal with little flavor, zest, or appeal? A meal that even the small portion sizes can't make up for? Oh, that should read large portions, but it doesn't, does it? That's because the portions are small. Normally mediocre food tires to disguise itself behind a large portion, but his place doesn't even provide a belly full of mediocre food. For the price, this should be better. A hell of a lot better. The soup was decent even though it was $9. Not recommended unless you're trapped inside the restaurant fending off zombies! Who would send out avocado that looks like this for $20! read more
