Avocado Toast with over hard eggs

I LOVED the Avocado Toast! And my daughter loved the chocolate pancakes! A must try in NYC!

Special menu item - Nutella and strawberry pancakes - April 2026

Small place with great service. Everyone loved their brunch. Servers constantly walking around to refill coffees and waters.

Diner - this was a popular diner and damn their food was good . My daughters hit the avocado toast and it was loaded with tomatoes and feta and really delicious. I got the French onion soup and it was really yummy without the extra saltiness. Service was excellent! And the place was packed ! We also shared the country potatoes and I had an Aperol spritz while they had the lemonade . Highly recommend and will be back !!

It was overpriced but good enough. That's pretty indicative of New York in general. I just ordered a burger and fry and I have to say that I did enjoy it. The ambiance was very traditional American diner. It was more tightly packed than say somewhere in Atlanta or out west but this is NYC and space comes at a premium so it's normal.

In an area with no shortage of breakfast spots this unassuming location on 8th opens into a nice diner with a vibe from decades ago. Very clean and welcoming with wonderful lighting and decor. The menu is what one expects from a diner. Service is wonderful.

Pancakes and sausage!
Christa W.

Everything was fantastic, giant pancakes and the sausage is homemade -must try! Benny and omelettes were as good as it gets! Friendly staff and quick service!

French Onion Soup
Katie G.

The service at this restaurant in Times Square was fast, and the food was delicious. I ordered a tuna melt, but the cheese wasn't melted, but the tuna was flavorful. The French onion soup was incredible. Very reasonably priced considering the location.

Beef gyro sandwich and fries, along with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast
Julia L.

In town for a few days, visiting New York City! Decided to walk to breakfast from our hotel. Came across the Times Square diner! Very cool inside with an almost subway like look. I had a beef Gyro and fries, and my husband had the regular breakfast of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Both meals were very large portions.!! I had so many fries I couldn't even eat half of them! The beef gyro was very good with large pieces of steak! Since the steak was so large, I actually needed to order a little extra tzatziki sauce to make sure it was all covered. Very tasty!! Our server Alex was great and every employee was accommodating. If they saw you had an empty plate on your table, they removed it immediately. They continually got us extra coffee and diet Pepsi Without ever having to ask for it. Couldn't ask for better service! And everyone was so polite . Highly recommend it!

Is there anything better than an old-school NYC diner? The Times Square Diner is the best diner in the area. I had the Florentine omelet (spinach & feta); my friend had their burger - we were both very happy!

California Omelette
Mike J.

Excellent customer service, nice seating, food came fast and was excellent. I ordered the California omelette w/ home fries. Also a small cup of salsa roja. The omelette ingredients were extremely fresh. Everything came together beautifully. The home fries were seasoned and fried perfectly. Came with toast but I didn't need it. Salsa roja is SPICY. It complimented my omelette. No wait time. Definitely would return.

Tasty!

New York diners are the best and we rarely miss an opportunity to stop at one. We were in town for a conference and came here for breakfast. We sat at the bar and service was very good. Our omelets with breakfast potatoes were filling and delicious and we would definitely try them again. It's a great diner and we definitely recommend coming here!

The tile on the floor to the sconces hanging from the walls. The bar is a beautiful scene for a backdrop for photos, but more importantly than any of that is the service provided. We specifically want to mention included Daniel. Daniel was the most hospitable, the most gracious and absolutely the most accommodating staff we have encountered in our trip to New York so far. Daniel made excellent choices and actually helped to custom craft drinks to our particular taste. In addition Daniel provided excellent recommendations for heavy snacking plate sharing and enjoying the overall experience.

The whipped ricotta was great, a good balance of sweet and even some spice on tasty bread. The mushroom pizza was tasty as well. I got the heritage pork chop, and it felt a little magical. I've only had a couple of times enjoying pork chops - this one seems like it should be tough, but somehow it works? I don't know how to explain it. The sausage and sauce somehow complemented the dish. I got a side of corn, which was not heavy at all, despite the macaroons. Not creamed corn at all; this was tasty too although not a must get. Finally, got the tiramisu again and despite the 4 of us sharing, there were still leftovers. I forgot how good it is here - full espresso flavor and the cream has more flavor and fullness.

We arrived at 5:30pm on a weekday for our reservation and to my surprise, almost every table was taken! They have a few locations throughout the city but the menus are more or less the same. I started with a Hugo Spritz which was light & refreshing but not the best I've had. We shared a Margherita Neopolitan Style Pizza which had a super thin & tender crust, fresh tomatoes and basil, and delicious cheese. Pretty solid start! The Whipped Ricotta was somehow better and I absolutely loved the creaminess of the ricotta along with the truffle honey. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were charred beautifully and was a nice vegetable to have on the table. Even the Zucchini Fries were so well-made! They could be "prettier" but the flavor and crunch is definitely there. The rigatoni was so fantastic but the chicken parm itself could have been crispier and more seasoned. We ended with the Tiramisu for Two which is easily feeds 4 people. This is an absolute must to end the meal! I can see why this spot is so popular and glad I finally got to pop my LPB cherry!
