We have been coming to this diner on and off for many years since we live local. For the most part the omelettes are good and the service is standard. This past time when the bill arrived, I was charged $1.50 for hot water. I asked the cashier who I believe was a manager or owner since we have been there before and I have seen him, on why was he charging for hot water. The first answer was people bring in their own tea bags. I told him I did not would he remove the charge. He would not and then double talked about how much it costs him to make hot water.I asked why no charge for cold water, with ice,and he said it doesn't cost him anything for that. The gibberish just kept getting more ridiculous so I paid and left. Being ripped off by $1.50 cents now cost them customer(s) as myself and neighbors will not go back, it is a principle issue...so for a $1.50, for hot water with nothing in it, he felt this was a good decision to lose a customer. read more

I have walked by this place so many times, so today I finally decided to give it a try! I am happy I did and I regret all these wasted years, such a nice local diner! The food was very fresh and delicious. We got a Greek omelette and a veggie eggs benedicte (both came with a side of potatoes) with some black coffee, everything was very tasty and I really appreciate how our nice waiter was always making sure that our coffee cups were full. My friend also got their Bloody Mary, which he enjoyed. We were craving chocolate chips waffles that were not on the menu, but after asking our waiter, he was very cool about it saying that they could make it without any problem. The waffle was great! They have a nice little tent on the street for these Covid19 times, so it was very pleasant to sit there as I didn't want to be in the sun. In general a great local diner with super attentive and nice staff and delicious food! read more

THIS RESTAURANT IS A GIANT RIP-OFF. DO NOT GO HERE. This morning I ordered scrambled egg whites, 2 veggies, cheese with avocado and turkey along with one ice coffee and they charged me $27. I did not even get potatoes or toast with it! This price is insane to me! The server handed me the bill and I could not identify one word on it. He did this on purpose for the outrageous charge. When I asked him about the charge he said I ordered "fancy" things like avocado and turkey. WHAT?! I did not order fillet mignon! He said talk to the Manager, if I do not like it. THIS IS WHY DINERS ARE BECOMING EXTINCT IN NEW YORK. Go to a hip and trendy restaurant for $19 you can get a much bigger meal and most places even include a mimosa for that price. read more

Silver Star Restaurant - $27 for eggwhites and one ice coffee. NEVER AGAIN. PLACE IS A RIP OFF. - Diners Near Me - New York, New York

I've been going here for many years. All the waiters and managers are very nice. The food is very good, with great portion size. Prices are somewhat high, but worth it for the meals. They do close 10:45PM nightly, so don't come in too late. read more

SO Silver Star is a standard diner and that's a good thing. I grabbed breakfast here - two eggs over easy with home fries and sausage. You know, typical diner breakfast. It was all just fine, as I expected. I noticed that they serve alcohol but I had no need to indulge on that particular morning. The diner is also quite spacious. I would not say that Silver Star is anything out of the ordinary but hey, sometimes that is just what you need! read more

Love this place since I was little. The food is great and the service has always been wonderful.

We stopped here in the morning before my husband headed over to MSKCC for his chemo treatment. He was hungry and I wanted him to load up before he had to sit there all day. He ordered the Italian omelet and a tea, I had two eggs, bacon & home fries. Everything was delicious. My husband kept remarking that the omelet was huge and very nicely done.All the ingredients were fresh. It was definitely more food than we both could finish. Service was excellent, and you could see that everyone in there was working very hard. This was a good find. read more

My dad needs to eat before his procedure. We were looking for the closest place to sit and came across Silver Star. The employees couldn't be nicer. The food was delicious! I got a ham and cheese omelet. My parents got eggs. Everything was delicious. What a great place to relax before heading into one of the nearby doctors office. read more

Locals have sworn their undying allegiance to this diner - yes, it's just a diner - and their (blind) loyalty is commendable. The taste of the food varies between good and fine; you'll never think it was "bad". But the exorbitant cost is quite frankly, outrageous. Not in the way where one whines because everyone wants to get more for less. More in the way of being so expensive it is cost prohibitive and a marvel they still have customers. Even if you go in expecting to pay a little more, your eyes will pop when you see the bill. It's diner food. Stopped in to pick up a quart of soup for someone who used to live nearby. $15.70. Really, a quart of soup. The latest additions are signs imploring customers to tip in cash on credit card transactions. The sign wording adds to the pretense and self-importance "we prefer..." Sure, cash tips are better for the hard-working servers. Do you think the diner has them in mind, or moreso the credit card processing fee the house needs to pay? read more

We were regular customers, dining in and ordering very frequently. I called to complain about my order as somethings were prepared wrong. I didn't ask for anything to be resent or any money back just wanted to let them know. The manager Mike didn't want to take responsibility about the order not being correct and told me to go F*CK myself and hung up. A manager of a restaurant has never in my life cursed at me for his mistake and hung up. This behavior is not acceptable and embarrassing. read more

A superb diner. This spacious, clean, well lit restaurant is everything a diner should be. The food is prepared quickly and to order. The food tastes good and the service is prompt and professional. You can linger and relax. Love this place. read more

This review is just for cake. My friends bought me a couple slices for my birthday as we were headed to the park - one chocolate and one vanilla with lemon filling + coconut. Unfortunately, the chocolate one was meh...neither fresh nor tasty. But I was pleasantly surprised by the latter! It was def sweet but overall a good combo of flavors for a diner slice. I ended up throwing out the chocolate one. read more

The food at the Silver Star diner is actually pretty good. Tasty, well seasoned, and overall, a quick and easy meal. The only reason for 3 stars is that it is vastly overpriced. A chicken sandwich and fries will cost you $17 + without tax and tip. I get it, its New York and expensive. I don't think that this is the best deal in Manhattan, but its good food nonetheless. If you were to knock off $2-5 depending on what you are getting and this place is a steal. read more

It is a very casual diner and we went here for Saturday brunch. They have plenty of tables inside. Food: They have a huge menu. We got the cheese omelet and the vegetarian omelet. Both were good however a little overcooked. The home fries tasted somewhat stale. The coffee is ok. Ambience: Super casual. Diner style. Service: Service itself is good. However, they royally overcharged us. Please be sure to check your overall check for mistakes. read more

I am proud of myself for going here because I feel like I've truly been to a million different diners in the city. Silver Star was definitely on the depressing side. We were there on a weekend and there were not many other diners. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. I think they could benefit from cutting down the menu (which is extremely large and varied!) and picking a few specific things to be good at. Also the bathrooms were gross so pee before you get here. read more

It's a hard hit on the wallet when you come here for lunch but their challah french toast with either fresh strawberries or blueberries, is simply a delight! What can be better than sweet, fluffy, and warm toast? Portion-wise, it's a little bigger than you would expect. You also get to pour your own syrup and spread your own butter. Service was quick and efficient too. The place is huge and the booth seats are comfortable EXCEPT when the person on the other end is fidgeting or moving too much. At first I thought the person was kicking the back but they were just getting in and out of the booth. read more

Generally overpriced, and then at the end they charged a 3.5% credit card fee. Off market. Food was OK.

I have been going to Silver Star for over 40 years. Today I thought I'd stop for a glass of wine & a few apps., was met at the bar by a horribly rude Indian individual who said curtly "no bar". Really. It was empty & now I see why. Rudeness doesn't get u customers. I say GOOD LUCK. Another UES INSTITUTION DONE. And am happy it is. read more

If you're looking to get some shit service, this is the place you are looking for. Tried ordering chocolate milk and waited so long, even after my food came, asked three waiters and still didn't get it. Finally, I got it the chocolate milk and tasted so so so shitty. The breakfast was overall subpar and I would never come back here again. Silver star? More like no star, go fuck yourself. read more

This is a good UES diner. Good for families and large groups. Tons of families with strollers. Lots of high chairs. There is one section along side the bar with several large booths if you want to eat away from the mayhem. The food has always been good. Salads, sandwiches etc. typical diner fare. Friendly service read more

Kind of nondescript, a little overpriced for a diner, but a noticeable boat decoration and interesting bar chairs my friends mom from Nevada noticed read more

My first time eating here. One of the pricier diners I've been to, so depending on your perception of a "diner" you can consider this a casual restaurant. That said, my Florentine Omelet for lunch (spinach +feta, homefries, whole wheat toast) with an iced tea, was perfection. The meal came out fast and the staff is courteous. Just scan the menu for your preferred tastes and prices, and hopefully you'll enjoy your meal like I did. read more

Overpriced Upper East Side diner! An egg sandwich for around $10 is a rip off. No wonder why this place was empty on a Sunday morning.

I order take out a lot from this diner often and have not been disappointed. The quality of the food is perfect for what one pays for. I love how fast they deliver the food because it always arrives hot and fresh. I've dined in the restaurant as well and the service is just as good as the food. Attentive, kind, and genuine, and I plan to be a customer for as long I live in midtown. read more

This is one of my favorite diners in NYC, hands down. Great food and great people run it!

Corned beef hash was gross . Everything else was decent but I got the check and they charged us 4.61 for orange juice . Be careful here they are extremely overpriced . Might as well go get a mimosa somewhere read more

A typical neighborhood diner with efficient service. I had the chicken gyro and a soda. The gyro was good, perhaps a bit on the dry side, but no real issue with a good helping of tzatziki. The fries were just a little crisp. A good meal for those looking for plain diner fare. read more

Fast service in bringing out our dishes although our waiter disappeared for a while when we needed him. The food is solid dishes, especially the omlettes but overpriced for a diner! An omelette dish and chicken salad cost us $40 before tax and tip not including any drinks. The chicken salad portion was ok but not enough to justify $20! Would only go if there are no other options around otherwise skip it! read more

I'm a huge NYC diner fan and have been to Silver Star diner around 10 times over the past few years. SERVICE: Unlike a lot of local diners, the thing I love about Silver Star is that the service is always fantastic. The servers have always been super accommodating with high chairs, boosters, stroller accommodations, etc. They're always super friendly with kids. They serve food quickly (especially kid food), yet never rush us. FOOD: Reliable, traditional, standard diner food. I haven't ever been wow'ed (I mean, is diner food supposed to wow you?!), but I've never been disappointed. Prices are slightly higher than I would like but what do you expect from a UES diner? read more

Went there late Sunday morning. Even though the restaurant was mostly empty, my wife and I were kicked out of the restaurant by our extremely rude server, apparently for outstaying our welcome. We had dropped about 40 bucks already at that point and were enjoying our coffee and eachother's company. It was extremely embarrassing and I will never return. There are plenty of places in the Upper East Side that blow this diner out of the water, spare yourself the rude service. Also, the brunch special prices are outrageous for the quality of the food. Head down to Cafe Luka on 1st and 71st, just a few blocks away for a brunch special with all the trimmings (especially the huge sugar free muffins which are pretty much complimentary). read more

Quintessential New York Diner. Open 24 hours, seating for days, cracked leather booths and everything but the kitchen sink on the menu. HOWEVER, the salads seriously shine here. It's the only place I've ever reviewed (so far) that had nine (9) "detox-approved" salad options. And I'm talking substantial, complex salads packed with nutrition and flavor. They also have a full selection of broiled (previously frozen) fish on offer too. I couldn't bring myself to give it 4-stars but 3.5 stars is definitely closer to the truth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EGGS & OMELETTES (Additional Items $1 except Asparagus, Artichoke, Mushroom or Avocado $2.50) Try the Cholesterol Free Egg Whites Add $1.50.

This diner is okay I guess, but definitely not worth more than 2.5 stars. The food is definitely overprices, even for the UES. $12 for a veggie omelet with a tiny side of home fries?!! Really?!? The food was okay, the portions were small, and the service was definitely a 'get in and get out' type of experience. I won't be back... read more

Very disappointed experience. We went me and my wife for a late breakfast. Figured we would order something safe like egg omelet and bacon sandwich. The egg was limp and the bacon was dark brown burnt. They should be embarrassed to bring out of the kitchen something like that. I think that was my first and last visit to this diner. I had bought this from street vendors that was better. If you can't trust them with a simple bacon and egg sandwich that's a sad comment on this place. read more
