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
Joanna R.

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!

PROS: great location, sandwich size was good and tasty but nothing exciting, service was good too CONS: none

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!
Kevin B.

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!

Super popular for a reason, but oh so very difficult to get a reservation. Earliest spot we were…read moreable to secure was for a 2pm brunch. We got the pancakes and breakfast sandwich. The pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. So fluffy and light soaked in the sweet butter syrup. To die for. I felt like the breakfast sandwich was kind of a flop, I felt like it was missing a sauce to it and it just felt like items smacked together, nothing innovative. Overall crowded and busy for such a tiny space, but I still love coming here.

Evidently they are famed far and wide for their pancakes, which are quite delicious. I actually prefer more texture in mine, with a bit of crisp from the butter/griddle, but you will not be sad about eating these. That said, I truly enjoyed almost everything else more. This is not a knock on them in any way, but a compliment to their kitchen that all their food is interesting and delicious. To wit: The Thai Cobb salad has the base of a classic, but with the heat and the acid of a proper som tum. The KFC wings are everything I wanted them to be. I ate way too many. The Mushroom Reuben Quesadilla (pastrami-spiced portobello!) actually evokes the flavors of a reuben, and may just have been my favorite bite of the evening. I rolled with a katsu club sandwich for my main, and it was outstanding, although I may even have liked the tuna melt more. I was too full for dessert, but I think everyone around the table enjoyed theirs. The staff is uniformly friendly, welcoming, on top of their shit, and honestly, just so cool. They made us feel at home, and got us everything we needed and more. This is a gem. Maybe I won't wait seven years to try the next trendy spot.

I got the buffalo mac & cheese balls, veggie burger and a passion fruit margarita with a coronita during happy hour. The margarita was GOOD lol and definitely did its job . The buffalo mac & cheese balls were probably my favorite, especially with the Sriracha ranch. My boyfriend loved them too and ended up getting the burger as well, but swapped the veggie patty for beef because he liked all the toppings and condiments. Our server was really friendly and service was good overall. My only complaint was cleanliness. The table we sat at was sticky and I noticed quite a few other tables that looked like they needed a more thorough wipe down. The restrooms could've been cleaner too. Still glad I came back though. The food definitely didn't disappoint!

With about a million places to get breakfast in NYC, the best compliment I can give is that I would absolutely come back here again.

The onions melted into the cheese and the toasted rye took it to the next level. This is a must try sandwich for all carnivores. And about the service... We stopped by for lunch and learned there was a short 15 minute wait. What typically might make you slightly upset did the opposite as the two men at the door and seating people engaged with us and made us feel like regulars. The dinner has a classic look inside and out and seriously, everyone is beyond friendly and attentive. Now that my wife teaches on 54th, we are destined to become regulars. Highly recommend

Many, many, many moons ago, I was a poor college kid who passed by this place every single day on…read moremy way to my internship, thinking that one day, when I'm finally not broke as hell, I will dine at this charming, retro-looking place. Fast forward to 2026 (where I'm finally not broke as hell), the day has finally come, and I am ecstatic about stepping foot into this diner that surprisingly is still standing in 2026. The inside certainly feels like a diner, but not quite the old-school dinginess that I'm used to--it's clean. Given that it was Sunday at noon, it was very crowded in there and mainly flooded with tourist groups, but a table opened up for us pretty quickly. For a NYC diner, the menu is certainly small - this is probably done to keep tables moving faster. I got the Pastrami Hash & Eggs and it was just overdone and super oily and dry--almost as if they just refried everything except the sunnyside egg. Not gonna lie, I was very disappointed, given that I had waited for so long to come here, only to get food that was an attempt to give the staleness another chance by refrying and reheating. I actually beat myself up a little the rest of the day for finishing the whole thing, knowing that the oversaltiness was flirting with opening up some high blood pressure. It was also not moderately priced by any means (was close to $30), but I know I'm helping pay for that Midtown and proximity to Central Park pricing. Not sure if I'll return, which saddens me, but also knowing that they're part of a conglomerate at Fireman Group (and still run independently in a sense) makes total sense

Westway Diner 614 9th. Ave…read more New York, NY 10036 Egg Cream BBC Omelette On multiple weekends, I attempted to dine here and there has always been a line outside the door; long lines are always a promising sign. With the hopes of avoiding any potential wait time, I decided to stop by on a bright, early Sunday morning at 8:30 AM. There was no line and I was seated immediately, but it was already packed (which indicates the food is top quality). Egg Cream: This chilled beverage has a beautiful appearance, especially the thick foam at the top. The ratio of seltzer, milk, and chocolate syrup were stirred perfectly. It was highly satisfying and a perfect alternative for a traditional breakfast drink. If you are not desiring the chocolate flavor, this specialty drink is also served in vanilla. BBC Omelette: This breakfast plate may have the same initials as the 24-hour news channel, but there is no relation whatsoever. This omelette was stuffed with broccoli, bacon, and cheddar cheese. These are not typically the toppings I order with an omelette, but I was feeling adventurous. It was a wise choice to explore this specialty plate because it surpasses my taste buds by a long shot. I never would have guessed broccoli and melted cheese taste well combined with an egg. A side of hash browns and toast is included. They were the backbone to the breakfast plate. In addition to a great meal, the service was impeccable. After I was seated, multiple servers checked up on me to make sure I wanted a drink. They always passed by and refilled my water glass. Even though the diner was crowded, the service was lightning fast and my drink and eggs arrived in a timely manner. This is a perfect dining experience and I see why they are always busy. #westwaydiner #midtownmanhattan #bbcomelette

Disappointed because I've been coming here for years now and the service has dropped dramatically…read more The restaurant was maybe 1/5th full, with about 7-8 tables. We got seated really quickly but our server didn't show up for a while. We waited for him to take our order for almost 10 mins after being seated. He didn't write anything down in our order: stuffed tomato (which is what I always get) chicken and rice soup, Caesar salad, and waffle fries. The food came out quickly but right away, I realized he gave me a stuffed avocado, not tomato. I didn't eat any further, waiting for him to come back but he never checked in on us until about another 10 mins later when we were very obviously looking for him and other servers grabbed him. At this point, we had to get going pretty quickly and we told him that my order was wrong but we needed to get going. He apologized but had a weird attitude, like it was my fault he put in the wrong order though I said tomato 3 times while ordering. We waited another 5-6 minutes to find him again to get the check. He never corrected the ticket, but he did bring a to go container with tomato slices, which is not the same. I think Westway had a good run for me, won't be coming back.
