This place has nice decor, perfect lighting that makes any girl look great (lol), and has really nice wait staff. The food? HORRENDOUS. My husbae had the chicken Caesar salad. It was below mediocre with very dry chicken and we counted 2 croutons. I had the potato leek soup. Worst decision ever. I worked at a restaurant for 3 years that served a frozen brand of hash browns. I'm not kidding-this soup was made out of these hash browns plus they threw a handful of the frozen shreds in the frier and put them on top of the soup calling them "potato straws". Needless to say when we get home we are ordering Chinese. Whomp whomppp. read more

Having heard of this location before through social media and movies, this place is just like I'd imagined. The inside brings you into a different world when you come inside with the softly lit lights and decor. It's at a great location right outside of Grand Central so if you're on the go, this is a great place to stop (there's also a bar on side). It looks small from the outside however once you come in, there are plenty of tables in the back area. The staff is very quick so if you're trying to get-in, get-up you'd like this place. Brioche french toast (served with bacon) $19 On the platter you have three large french toasts coated with powdered sugar with a side of bacon. Additionally you have a few blueberries, strawberries and caramelized banana pieces next to some syrup. The French toast is nice and thick so it fills you up. Coffee (can be flavored) $3.50 It's a small cup of coffee (too damn small) provided with some milk on the side. If you want any flavorings like french vanilla, you can ask them prior to ordering. read more

Limited breakfast menu. Overpriced just like everything in NYC. Really pretty place though. We had a really good server. My hubby doesn't like onions in his potatoes. Without asking the server had some made. Very nice. And what's up with no ice in the water? read more

I ordered the banana pancake,tasted really good!!,sweet and soft. The coffee wasn't that nice though. Price wise I wouldn't really recommend it, I ate with my friend who ordered Three Omelettes menu and our check came almost 40usd. Too expensive for a breakfast. Location and the place is actually very nice with American diner atmosphere. Service wasn't not good as we've requested a couple of times for water with no ice, and it just never came..just a simple favor and we definitely asked nicely read more

Business lunch today. Excellent Old Fashioned's and a burger to die for. Good service. Well done!

Breakfast was ok... but definitely overpriced for what you get. The waiter got upset because we didn't leave a fat tip after paying for overpriced food and mediocre service. USA i guess... read more

The appeal of this place is location and the ambiance. It's elegant seems to belong in another era from cutlery to servers uniform will remind you of traditional diners from the past. The prices are $$$ for a diner I ordered all the breakfast which consisted of waffle or pancakes of your choice, OJ and coffee which totaled for $24. You can't just order pancakes they will charge you $24. The food was decent, ambiance is cute. I would return on a snowy day to grab some coffee or coco and enjoy the grand central view and holiday vibes. Otherwise their are plenty of diners and cafes with better prices and quality of food. My verdict worth a try just for an experience. read more

I love Pershing Square (PS). They do some things very well like the shrimpcargo ( shrimp in an escargot try served with breading, butter and herbs). They also have an excellent Tuna nicoise and the burgers bring you to a Parisian brasserie. Its the business persons go to place for business breakfast but reservations are a must otherwise you will be relegated to purgatory in the form of a very long line. The staff are a hit/miss proposition. Some a great while others are clueless perhaps thinking about what went wrong at the last audition rather than serving the patron. IN spring through fall they close the side street and have European-esque outdoor seating! read more

This is my mum's absolute go-to for breakfast/lunch in NYC. Firstly, the location is unparalleled - just opposite Grand Central. I always get a variation of the eggs, which I can never fault. My mum is a bit more adventurous and has tried a wide variety of the menu, and only has positive things to say about everything she has tried. She's also a huge coffee fan, and claims that the stuff at Pershing's is the best going. The ambience here is wonderful, and the staff ever so helpful. read more

Went to have lunch at Pershing Square after a midday meeting nearby. I'd heard a lot of good things about this place so I figured I'd give it a try. The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. They seemed determined to make me feel at home since I was dining alone. A nice lady came by with a bread tray and let me pick out the rolls I wanted to try. Their onion roll was amazing! It was crusty on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside. I also tried half a biscuit. That was ok, too hard and dry for my taste though. I ordered a French onion soup which was absolutely perfect. The caramelized onions in the soup were full of a sweet, mellow flavor that contrasted nicely with the hearty slab of cheese on top. This was so good I finished every last drop. Quite possibly the best French Onion I've ever had! I also ordered a salad. This was just ok, not at all memorable in a good way. The greens were cut too big and I had to recut them with the shoddy knife I had been given. The tossing was uneven, some spots had gobs of dressing while others were completely bare. Also the croutons were HUGE. When I tried to cut one in half to eat it, it flew off my plate. Needless to say, I stayed away from the rest of the croutons. Price-wise, this was not a bad choice for lunch, $23 for the soup, salad and a diet coke. In total with tip and all, $28. If you're in the area, give this place a try. Just beware of flying croutons!!! read more

Would not recommend this place to anyone despite its great location. Location is the reason we ended up here for lunch on a Friday. The place does not smell good inside, they have a limited menu and the service was slow. I had the Caesar salad which was warm, soggy and drenched in way too much dressing. Also had a Bloody Mary that I would never recommend. Please go anywhere else. read more

The location of this restaurant was excellent. The ambiance of the interior was really very elegant. We went here for breakfast just before touring around Grand Central Station. Two people in our group had eggs over easy, fresh orange juice and tea after breakfast. One person had salmon with a bagel(he stated that it was excellent) and one person had pancakes with orange juice. The orange juice was great. The coffee... um... not so great. service was excellent. We really felt like we were treated quite well and it started our day off with a positive start. LOVE NYC. read more

Good location. bigger than you would expect. Lots of old folks inside. Has some old school charm you would expect. We came here on a monday, as my gf was waiting to catch a shuttle bus to the airport. This was the closest place, and judging from the outside of the front of the place, I didn't think it would be that expensive. Pretty decent, but damn its pricey. 16 bucks for a burger? Almost every single entree for lunch was expensive, so you'll probably spend like 30+ bucks a person for lunch. We should have looked at the menu and went and ate in the food court terminal at grand central station. That would have been a more frugal choice, but it was the end of our Valentines/Presidents day weekend, so why not end it with a bang. We were there on a tuesday, and the line was long to be seated, so we just skipped it and sat right at the bar. It was a good call, as about 15 min later people were still standing waiting to be seated. Good food here, but nothing spectacular. If you got the cash to spend, and want the ambience, come here. read more

We're sure Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing would be proud to have his name attached to this American brasserie under the Park Avenue viaduct . Located right across 42nd Street from Grand Central Station, it is a combination coffee shop, bar, diner or whatever else you might imagine. Late night meals, breakfasts anytime, burgers, you name it, they've got it, and it all seems to be pretty tasty. We had some scrambled eggs with crispy bacon and neatly buttered toast, corned beef hash (chunky and good, made in the restaurant), a burgers with crunchy, lightly salted fries, and some pasta. Amazingly, it all came up tasty and was served very quickly. This place is nothing if not diverse. The service is to-the-point, prices moderate (burger and fries was $16) and the atmosphere lively if potentially very noisy. They also make a pretty spicy Bloody Mary. Not one of NYC's best, but a if you're around Grand Central, it's worth a stop; lots of tourists and natives do. read more

On my recent trip to NYC, I took advantage of a rainy Thursday by checking out Grand Central Terminal to stay out of the downpour but take in some good NYC atmosphere. After finishing up in GCT, I thought I would try to go over to Cipriani's for a late lunch...denied, closed for private party. So I took my hunger to the nearest place I could stumble to in my deep hunger (feel the drama), Pershing Square. Not a bad place, nestled under a bridge (nice since it was pouring rain), and lit up very distinctly with bright light signs. Even though they seemed to have a good crowd, there was space for me...great, no wait, I needed no wait. Looking at their menu, it's a pretty good choice of different things, standard cafe type fare with some surprises here and there. However, the prices are not cheap, no way to dance around that one (even expecting it being on a trip). I ordered the house made ricotta ravioli with pomodoro sauce. It was ok, not bad...but for 16 bucks for the entree alone at lunch I think I was expecting a lot more than ok. It did the trick, saved everyone around me from my hungry mode. Savored a bit more time with some coffee, then paid my bill. Service did ok for a crowded lunch, no surprises or hiccups to report. Bottom line: It's an ok place. For the price though, I was expecting a bit more. Would I stop in again if I was hungry like that day? Yep, probably so. read more

I really don't see any reason to come here with all the other options in the nearby vicinity. Not very hungry, the two of us split a turkey burger with fries. Granted, turkey burgers aren't the most exciting thing, but this one was particularly underwhelming. Both the burger and fries were overcooked and dry. Blah! I'm pretty sure Pershing Square gets most of its business from hungry tourists who see it right when they step outside of Grand Central station. Pass. read more

I was surprised by the mixed reviews, because we had a good time and thought the food was right up there where it should be. I'm a picky eggs benedict person, and they were great: Canadian bacon was good, Hollandaise was fresh, and the eggs were perfectly poached. My daughter's pancakes were delicious, so no complaints there. My husband and our friend also had eggs benedict, although my husband chose the smoked salmon, and thought it was delicious. We each ordered a pot of tea and enjoyed our conversation. Service was good, brisk, but not brusque. I was glad no one hovered, I hate that when I'm trying to have a good conversation. We waited on line for about 10 minutes after our 9:40 arrival, which wasn't bad. They wouldn't take reservations for the morning brunch, but I'm glad we took the chance and went. I'd go back. read more

I came here one day for breakfast to catch up with a friend. I got in a little before 10am and I was waiting for her to arrive. The place was not super busy but they kept moving me around while I was still waiting for my friend. Around 10:50am, the waiter said I had to order before 11am [in addition to the hot chocolate I was having] otherwise I wouldn't be able to get breakfast and there is an hour in between that the kitchen didn't serve food which was a bit weird. After I ordered for both of us, the food took a while to come out around 20 minutes. My eggs were pretty good and my friend was pretty happy with her pancakes. I had ordered another hot chocolate, which was really good. The only thing that really annoyed me and why I took off 2 stars, was that our waiter was completely confused. He bought out things we didn't ask for, gave our drinks to the table next to us, charged us for things we didn't order and didn't charge us the correct prices for the things we did order. read more

The food was delicious. And the service alright. We didn't enjoy how hot it was inside the restaurant. We knew New York was expensive but a title pricey for the food provided. read more

Food was fantastic, we had the Salmon Eggs Benedict and the French Toast and both were exquisite with no problems at all. The waiter was cordial and refilled our coffee as much as we liked, but at the same time didn't rush us. The interior architecture and design was beautiful. Would definitely visit again. read more

This place looked great on the outside it has a great outside but looks are deceiving. Pros : My wife is a tea snob and wes impressed with the tea. The food came out supper quick. The place was supper cute. Cons: Front hostess was absent. She was there and greeted us, but then grabbed menus and took off didn't ask us to follow juts left. I felt like staying there to see how long she would walk until she noticed we weren't there. On our way we were cut off by two separate table cleaners who almost ran us over...not excuse me customers go first. Food was okay but the potatoes were deep fried. Probably the reason the food came out so fast. Would have rather slower service and better food. Just a few thought from a person who has been in the food industry and knows the food industry should really be the hospitality business read more

Very convenient for lace to eat. Soup tasted really good when it is pouring rain outside. Most diners here are meeting people traveling to or from central station. Suitcases allowed inside. EnjoYed their Meringue tart. read more

A nicely appointed room in a unique location occupying the full space beneath the overpass leading to the upper level of Grand Central Terminal. The exposed-rivet steel beams carry across just enough of the style of GCT across the street to tie the place together. They serve brunch until 3:00 pm on weekends. My late-brunch egg-white omelet was surprisingly fluffy and well-made, if not inexpensive. The accompanying housemade strawberry jam was quite good too, as was the coffee. One off-note in an otherwise decent dining experience: they weren't able to do an egg white fritata, as the fritatas were pre-made at 6:00 A.M. So I'd only try the fritata if I were dining early. All in all, a respectable and convenient weekend brunch choice for those coming into the City via Grand Central on the weekend. read more

I ordered a kale cesear salad for and it was awful , it was the size of a side salad and had so much dressing on it that I could not eat it . The croutons ( that I could find were the size of peas ) My friend ordered a chicken panini and there was one small piece of chicken Pricey for what we got and I guess that it survives on tourists , but I will never go back and I live here . Sad that the quality is so bad as it is large clean and socially distanced with great customer service . They need to reevaluate the kitchen and what they are serving . Even my waiter agreed that it was more like Ceasar Dressing soup !!! read more

I've walked by this place probably 20-30 times and was curious. Tonight was the night to try it out. I should have let sleeping dogs lie-- the service was so bad I waited 15 minutes for a coffee (they don't have a menu for coffee). The staff were also rude. It took so long that we decided dinner was a no go. There are too many great restaurants with great service to waste time here. Not recommended. read more

For the cost of breakfast, it wasn't anything special. $22 (before tip) was my omelette and coffee. The restaurant is such an iconic landmark, and you would think the food would be equally amazing. Not the case. The three egg omelette was your usual omelette and you picked your three fillings. It comes with a side of either salad or potatoes, and toast. I had asked for an English muffin and they gave it to me with a rye toast. I just sucked it up and didn't even bother. My server was not very attentive, so to flag him down in this busy restaurant was more of a hassle in on itself. If you want to say you've dined here, by all means do. It's kinda cool to see it up front and have that experience. Food wise, don't expect too much. read more

Breakfast, is really good!! Right across from grand central station!! It's pricey, say a plate is about $14-20. One tv at the bar.

Good food and a fun place. We've been coming here for years! We called yesterday to make a reservation for our family of 4, and they put us down for 11. When we got there, they said we weren't on the list because they only take reservations for parties of 5 or more. We thought it was weird because we had talked to someone the day before who said it was fine... kind of annoying. Food good though and worth the trip over! read more

Pershing Square claims to have "The Busiest and Best Breakfast in New York". I don't think I'd enjoy a "Busy" breakfast, but I've eaten lots of really fantastic breakfast meals throughout the years and decided to give this place a try. This place would have to be really, really awesome to live up to their claim and while it was very good, it wasn't the best breakfast in New York. I wouldn't even call it the second best. read more

What an adorable cafe! Located across from Grand Central Station, my friend and I stopped in to camp out from a crazy downpour and had a few drinks. The ambience was beautiful, red and gold lighting with rustic wooden furniture and a large dining space. Closer to the entrance is a more casual dining area for those who want to stop in for a quick bite or break from the bustling streets outside. We didn't order food since we had reservations elsewhere but everything looked amazing and the drinks were on point. Can't wait to stop in again and try one of their delicious looking dinner items. read more
