    grilled chicken and cheese with tomato sauce, lettuce and tomato
    Mary Jane R.

    Good diner with a view of the 59th street bridge and the tram - real New York scene! Food was good, service fast and yet they did not rush us out. There was some outdoor seating, but it was warm out and we were pleased that as a group of two they let us sit in a booth. They offer a large selection of lunch specials that come with soup and dessert, but we just opted for regular entrees. Good to know that a diner like this still exists!

    Deluxe cheeseburger
    Donna U.

    Came for an early dinner. I got the deluxe burger with cheese and my wife got a chicken burrito. Both were so large that we took half of our meals home. I asked for a rare burger and it was pretty raw, I didn't complain because it didn't bother me, but if that's super important for you maybe ask for something more well done than you prefer. The staff was super friendly, even giving us free donuts to go on the way out. Will definitely come back.

    Cute neighborhood diner! The service is always friendly and quick, food is good, and the diner is clean and bright. A great place to grab a bite to eat!

    Challah French Toast and Eggs, Bacon, and Home fries with Rye Toast
    Anna L.

    Great service, super attentive with coffee refills and such a cute area. Big breakfast and honestly the most delicious challah French toast I've ever had. A must!

    While definitely nothing to write home about. A cheap NYC diner for the price of the burger ($13) and sit down atmosphere Waitress was very friendly, and we were seated and got our food within 10 min of ordering. Just your standard NYC experience

    Beef Brisket Dinner with mashed potatoes and vegetables
    Harry W.

    Have been going to Tramway Diner since it opened in the spring, tried it because of the late dining hours, comfortable dining room with oversized banquette seats, service has always been good, the food was fair but they recently stepped it up in the kitchen. Had the beef brisket the other night and it was delicious and moist not dry as it is usually served in many restaurants. The sides were generous and the vegetables were fresh. The plating is what you would find at a lot of higher end restaurants. Happy that they were busy and hope that they stay around for awhile.

    Pasta alla vodka

    We were craving matzah ball soup -- it was getting cold outside. What a lovely Suprise this diner was! This was the BEST YET! And so nice to be served by professionals (versus high schoolers). A lovely afternoon in this lovely diner.

    Corner of 59th and 1st.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

The Benedict was so delicious. I've never had it on a crispy hash brown type before. It was good and a massive portion. Mac and cheese was alright, though I would probably opt out of it next time. I was so full I totally forgot to drink my latte but the latte was good too. Ambiance was nice clean and very busy.

It doesn't matter that I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years. I don't understand why the people at the register have zero customer service. They want you to hand over cash or credit card, without any questions or conversation, zero personality or kindness, and sometimes rude. On a recent visit, I wanted to check if their payment policy had changed (they charge a fee for credit cards on top of the bill)... I asked them if they still charge a fee for credit cards and their answer was "there are signs everywhere". While that might be the case, i didn't see the sign... I have vision issues and when I told them (with additional explanation) they didn't proceed to assist me. A couple overheard my exchange and said they have had issues in the past too. To anyone visiting from out of town: From this New Yorker, please know if you experience something similar at Sarge's it is not the norm ... most NYC restaurants, cafes, grab/go, coffee shops, bodegas will treat you kindly, without attitude. The guys behind the counter are amazing... work hard, helpful. Please tip them, if you have the means to do so.
