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.

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 !!

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!

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.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Start my birthday breakfast at the diner. The food was excellent, and the service was always outstanding. Always enjoy eating at the restaurant. We have the spice omelet special

French Onion Soup

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

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!

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!

scrambled eggs, Strawberry Sensation French Toast, mix, Chicken Wings
Zoe H.

was very slow service, & didn't act like they really wanted us to be there. waited a long time to be able to pay & leave. the atmosphere felt very dull & almost tense like my partner said the mozzarella sticks were okay, nothing exciting, but the wings he got were exquisite the strawberry french toast was stuffed with walnuts & cream - which comes as is - so sadly was unable to eat it, & the strawberries tasted like they were out of season. besides the bread, which was okay. the scrambled eggs were decent, but nothing exciting

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.

This is what I think of when it comes to diner food. Place has diner vibes, staff were friendly and attentive and the food was great. NYC diner food is the best. Would definitely stop by again!

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.

The Westway Diner is your typical NYC diner. They offer a wide array of breakfast, lunch and dinner…read moreitems. The menu is literally pages long and has something for everyone. I haven't been here in a very long time and thankfully it hasn't changed very much. I went with the Acropolis Omelette that had gyro meat. It was delicious. It came with a side of hash browns which were crispy and rye toast. I added a side of bacon "just because." Coffee refills are still free, which is great. The food is what it is, fast, tasty and filling. The prices are up but not outrageous. I realize that a lot of diners have closed in NYC due to costs and regulations but I'm glad this one is still here. Diners are one of the things I really miss since I left NYC.
