    Onion rings
    Gab G.

    Returned on a Monday at 12:44 PM during Xmas week. My boyfriend and I got in line and chose to wait for a table (vs counter) and sat at 1:15 PM - not bad at all. Counter would have been even faster. Matzo ball soup was good, but I prefer B&H or Katz's. Chicken salad club was phenomenal and the onion rings remain perfect. 5 stars forever.

    Pastrami Sandwich
    Erika S.

    My first pastrami sandwich ever!! It was really good and the pastrami was really loaded on there!

    Tuna melt was extremely skinny but was pretty good.

    You snooze, you lose. I love old buildings, old restaurants, old everything. S&P is an old diner, about 96 years old at the time of our visit. It is small and skinny and they have an old counter with old stools. There is nothing fancy about the place at all and that is how it should be. Unfortunately for us, we arrived about an hour and a half before closing and, to the restaurant's credit, were immediately informed by the hostess that they were out of both pastrami and corned beef. The server also let us know. I wanted pastrami or corned beef, or both, but we were starving, so we stayed. The turkey Reuben was interesting and not bad at all. The burger was very average. The tuna melt was fine. They make their own syrups here and you should definitely indulge in their delicious (non-alcoholic) drinks. The Cherry Lime Rickey was particularly delicious. If I had been more on the ball, I would have also ordered an egg cream. In all honesty, I did not love the food but I also did not get to try any of their specialty sandwiches. But any place that has been around this long is doing something right and should be appreciated. I would return--earlier, for sure.

    I came here this past spring to get a pastrami sandwich after seeing Youtube videos like UA Eats speaking highly about this place. Was pretty excited to see how their sandwich would compare to other places in the city. I came around 11am on a Friday morning and it wasn't too crowded, so I easily got a seat at the counter. The place itself has a pretty no-frills, quick diner type of vibe to it. I ordered the pastrami sandwich ($18) and a Dr. Brown's cherry soda, which was around $3 from what I remember. I believe I paid around $25 total including tax / tip. The sandwich struck me as pretty small when I received it. It looked pretty good but it seemed there were only a few pieces of pastrami in there. The sandwich itself was very good though. The pastrami seemed cooked well and had plenty of flavor. The bread seemed pretty fresh. So taste wise, the sandwich lived up to expectations, but I was just disappointed it was so small. There was the option for extra meat at $26, but then the sandwich approaches Katz Deli pricing. The soda was excellent and I made a mental note to get it again later on. Overall, I thought this place was pretty good but overhyped.

    Tuna melt (a little too toasty)

    I came to S&P on a rainy day, and to my surprise, the line was nuts! Very long, down the whole wall from the host to the door. What!? I waited. I had some time as I was waiting on some details from my client. After around 20min I was seated at the counter. Then I ordered a tuna melt with an Arnold Palmer. Waited another 20min for the food and finally I was able to lunch. The kitchen was bustling. They were running around pushing out orders - for diners and to go. They even checked in for a chat with the regulars. My sandwich was chiling on the press for a hot minute.. the tuna melt bread was a bit toasty but not burned. The crunch was nice and the tuna consistency was good. The pickle was great. I also got an Arnold Palmer..it was meh. I get they're trying to stay Classic with the menu but it'd be nice for some craft drinks. Esp less sugary options. I've been here before on a less hectic day and the food was very solid!

    Patty Melt
    Jack H.

    The New York City diner is a dying breed. S&P is an attempt to save one. Brought to us by the people behind Court Street Grocers, I had high hopes for this retro diner. Arriving near noon on Saturday, S&P was quite busy. When you enter, you will likely be in line on the right side of the restaurant, with the counter directly to your left. Seating is first come, first serve, so do not be surprised if you have to wait. There are tables in the rear for larger groups, but the real S&P experience is at the counter, where you can watch the frantic cooks fry, grill and otherwise prepare meals for the hungry patrons. Upon seating, we examined the menu. There are a variety of NYC diner classics, with both breakfast and lunch options available, perfect for a weekend brunch, or a quick bite on a weekday. On our first visit, my dining partner and I landed on hot dogs for her, a patty melt for myself, a side of fries to split, and a milkshake to share (it felt like a 1950s movie). The food, overall, is lovely. Each dish is a just a bit elevated beyond what you may be accustomed to if you are familiar with NYC diners or lunch counters, and very familiar to anyone who has patronized Court Street Grocers before (you will find a couple of sandwiches from CSG on the menu even). My patty melt was delightful, hitting all the right cheesy and melty and saucy notes you expect from a patty melt, while my date enjoyed her hotdogs throughly (she still raves about them!). The fries are a bit an unusually shaped, and do not come salted, but are otherwise tasty with the liberal application of salt. The milkshake was fantastic, and very rich (things got a bit tense trying to share it, it was so good). Service was generally fairly good, though at times they seem overwhelmed with how busy they are. When you finish up, you pay at the counter, and don't be surprised if you need to recite your order to the cashier. I will certainly be back, though perhaps try to arrive a bit earlier to avoid the line and the rush. Definitely worth trying.

    S&P regular
    Sylvia T.

    Honestly this place is a great diner in the middle of flatiron! Pretty unassuming from the outside but be ready to wait long lines. There is limited seating inside with the vast majority being bar seating and a couple tables in the back. Service was great and quite fast. I ordered the S&P regular and it was pretty good. The bread was soft and buttery and the pastrami was tender and there was a decent amount. Cherry peppers were both sweet and spicy! My only complaint would've been the Russian dressing was a little strong maybe I could've done w a little less. We also got a carrot cake slice which was good too. The cake itself was super moist a with a thin layer of cream cheese frosting but I found it was a little too sweet. No nuts or raisins if that's not your thing! Nothing special though tbh.

    Tuna melt
    Jasmin G.

    Great spot in a convenient location. There's usually a line as they don't take reservations, but it moves quickly due to the turnover. Once you're seated (either at their long bar or one of the tables at the back), the staff will take your order quickly. The tuna melt hit the spot! Not too heavy and toasted to perfection. It was even better with some hot sauce. We also loved the pancakes (we got chocolate chips in them). They were topped with salted butter that melted slightly and were a great texture. Only thing I'd avoid is the mushroom barley soup. It was bland and heavy on barley. You're in and out quickly and cost is reasonable. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    S&P classic sandwich seemed too small for price but the flavor of the sandwich was worth it. The bread was also amazing. Waited a good amount of time for my take out but it was worth it. Line to dine in seemed long but it moved quickly.

    Flatiron delight
    Michelle T.

    Omg I just had the best pastrami sandwich I've ever eaten here!! It was so incredibly juicy and tender and just melts in your mouth!! Soooo flavorful too. I got the flatiron delight which had pastrami, Swiss, and coleslaw. The coleslaw balanced out the flavors and gave it such a freshness!! We had to wait for seating but it was pretty quick and everyone who works there is so sweet! It's like a super cute old school diner! I'm already dreaming about going back

    Yummy latkes - I got 2 sour creams normally comes with apple sauce as well
    Kendra W.

    There was a line out the door but I say it moves quick. They do a fair amount of take out orders and I would actually consider that next time. Nearby was an area with outdoor seating. We had the Flat Iron Delight sandwich with pastrami comes with Swiss, Cole slaw and Russian. We asked for it grilled. It was sooo good. I dug into so quick I never got a picture. We also got the potato latkes they were great as well. I think everything is good on this menu. I saw someone's egg salad sandwich and a club looking sandwich they both looked great. I dont think you can go wrong here. I normally dont order tuna melts but they were popular and looked good. The service is great, they accommodate menu requests. You check out at the register and they take cards as well. I would definitely visit again. Nice change of pace from Katz.

    Tuna melt
    Alli B.

    Vibes were amazing, sit at the counter by yourself. So classic. That said, I did like the vibes more than my tuna melt. Best part was the pickle, classic NY diner. Next time I would order another type of cheese on the tuna melt but solid!

    Patty Melt
    Jack M.

    Delicious Patty Melt. The toast is buttery and crisp. It's good quality meat, and there's a sweet onion marmalade on there that balances out the grease. The wait is a little bit annoying but wasn't more than 20 minutes in line. All the staff were friendly and efficient. It's a special place with a lot of history and the feel of the old NYC. Very cool vibe.

    Great service. An amazing old school Jewish delicatessen with giant sandwiches. Much easier to get seated at than Katz's.

    Monkey Bar - Smoked Whitefish Caesar (~$28)

    Monkey Bar

    4.3(475 reviews)

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.
