    Waffle and chicken strips (subbed for choc chip pancake)
    Sonali P.

    I have walked by this place countless times and decided to go in around dinner time. There was a lot of room and the kind waiter seated us right away. The place has old school diner vibes, and it really delivers on classic diner fare. We ordered the pancake deluxe which included a pancake stack, eggs, and bacon. I ordered the chicken and waffles but requested they sub out the waffle for chocolate chip pancakes. The pancakes were simply perfect. Nothing crazy or fancy, but the perfect classic pancake. In my (controversial) opinion, I prefer these over Bubbys! The chicken tenders were also juicy and delicious. Overall, I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the meal at such an unassuming spot. It's the most classic diner experience I've had in Manhattan. it's homey, nostalgic, and a good place to come with friends.

    It's your basic no frills diner. Sometimes you want a simple breakfast and everything hit the spot at this little diner in FiDi. We were staying in the area and the hotel breakfast looked unappetizing to say the least, and my kid wanted real food. Squires is located in a residential building. The place was clean, the food was fresh. We got the deluxe breakfast, French toast, scrambled eggs, sausage, doubled the bacon cuz we didn't want the ham. Also got the omelet with onion, jalapeño and tomatoes and cheese, it came with potatoes and toast. I wished the jalapeños were fresh not the jarred. The waiter was friendly and helpful, he kept coming around and topping off our coffees. No complaints. There were other families eating there as well. I remembered to take photos after we started eating so not the best pics.

    My husband was craving a classic diner breakfast and found Squire's and I'm so happy he did. This is a classic, no frills diner that has everything you'd crave for breakfast in the morning. Service was quick and the staff is super kind. I got the deluxe breakfast with a waffle (asked for strawberry's on top), bacon and 2 scrambled eggs (I ordered mine well done since I'm pregnant so don't be alarmed by the extra crispy bacon and eggs). My husband got the corned beef hash breakfast which is why he even picked this place in the first place and he confirmed it's exactly what he was craving. Love this diner and the local feeling it has and can't wait to go back for another yummy breakfast.

    Overall 3.8. Food and prices are pretty good given the neighborhood it is in. This diner is one of two diners one block away from John Street and a couple of blocks away from the seaport. Very local and barely any tourists. A good spot to grab a quick bite on a Saturday. The service is very New York. The servers won't take their time to explain to you, nor will they have the patience to tell you your options for how you want your eggs. We stopped by on a Saturday at around 2pm. It was crowded by local and neighbors, which is feels nice. By the time we ended our meal, it was getting empty. Overall a good space to get good diner food. I am glad they made it through Covid. Would come back again another time.

    The seating in here was way too crowd for people to be comfortable. Practically on top of the neighboring customer. The server lacked in customer service and left before I could finish ordering. Came out to $33 for two small breakfasts. Coffee was not good. Food was mediocre and pancakes were dry. Located in a parking lot of an assisted living apartment. Came here because it seemed like a local's cozy breakfast spot. Should've stuck with the bagel shops.

    eggs and rye toast

    The Westway Diner is a pretty typical NYC diner. It has a broad menu, and most of the items on it,…read moreespecially for breakfast, are on point. Nothing amazeballs. You're not dining Michelin here, but it is a good spot that hits the spot with their food and coffee. They really move things well, and quickly so wait times are often minimal, staff is speedy, yet you don't feel rushed. The ambiance is, well, diner. It is diner booths and tables, typical heavy duty diner dishes and basic cutlery, but that's perfect for this establishment. Not our first time here, and won't be our last, as the pricing is also reasonable.

    Westway Diner in Hell's Kitchen was one of the most disgraceful dining experiences I've had in New…read moreYork. The issue wasn't the mediocre food or dated atmosphere, it was the appalling treatment surrounding my legitimate service animal. The manager flat-out attempted to deny access, apparently more concerned that the dog might "scratch their booth" than following basic laws or showing basic human decency. To make matters worse, when asked if a small area of the floor could simply be wiped down so the dog wouldn't be licking a filthy diner floor, the response was complete refusal and hostility. The entire interaction felt ignorant, dismissive, and shockingly unprofessional. Staff acted inconvenienced by the mere presence of a service animal, which is unacceptable in any establishment, especially in New York City. A diner survives on hospitality, and Westway clearly has none. If you value respectful treatment, professionalism, or accessibility, avoid this place entirely.
