    Breaded Chicken Breast Panini
    Jacqui L.

    No nonsense diner; both our chicken paninis (one pesto, one breaded) had tender meat and great sauce. Also, the potato salad side? Insane. Our waiter was very quick as well and we left full! Did I mention how good the malt milkshakes are?

    Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Reasonable prices and great food for all types of eaters ( including Vegan or Vegetarian). Great attentiveness from the staff. Nice and clean. A Hugh variety of menu selections.

    Tuna melt, cold slaw and a pickle

    5 stars on a diner scale - not a fine dining scale. Deciding between Washington Square Park Diner and here is no contest. Excellent location at the crossroads of Greenwich Village and West Village. Seating options range from 2 seaters to a big dining spot for 8. Tables turn over quickly and the wait was short. I'm a tuna melt connoisseur and have 0 notes. The coffee was also top notch. Served (as it should be) in a small ceramic cup with many refills. Price was $

    2 eggs any style, served with hash browns

    I came here for dinner on a Sunday night. I ordered two eggs any style (I opted for over easy), which came with toast and home fries. Solid food, but a bit expensive. Overall, I thought this was a pretty classic American diner.

    Feels so cozy inside! Waverly Diner has a classic American diner feel, although the prices are a bit high. I liked the spinach omelette, but the hash brows on the side were just okay. I really enjoyed the buttered toast they gave on the side. The seating feels cozy, and the staff are warm and friendly.

    Chocolate Chip Pancakes

    A very normal diner in NYC. Good location between west village and Greenwich village. Came around 4pm on a Sunday and it actually had a decent crowd. The waverly melt was good with the onions but the fries were very mid. The Reuben was also open faced which was unexpected (and not exactly what we wanted). Also had the chocolate chip pancakes -- recommend the top pancake as it had the most chocolate chips on it. Overall, nothing amazing but nothing bad. Massive menu.

    I was staying in the West Village. This diner and the Washington Square Diner were both nearby. I visited this one for a quick late lunch because it's right above the W. 4th St. Metro stop. The menu is quite extensive and I think anything can be ordered at any time. After looking through the entire menu, I opted for a Western omelette with hash browns and wheat toast, and a "fresh homemade" lemonade. The omelette and potatoes were served in a skillet, but I don't think they were prepared in it. The omelette was more done than I like, and the hash browns not as crisp as I like, but they were fine. as was the lemonade. There were a lot of other interesting things on the menu, and their dessert selection looked very good. Great spot for a quick bite, or if you can't get into one of the West Village's hundreds of hot, pricey restaurants.

    Delicious food and the best desserts--every bite delights and keeps me coming back for more! Always

    Waverly Melt
    Christina O.

    It is good for post-bar drunken food. It's kinda a grimy place doesn't feel like it's had a proper clean in a longggg time. Service was quick and attentive. The waverly melt was very good, just like a patty melt. The fries were OK, lacked a bit of salt.

    Ahhhh... it just feels like home. Stopped in with a friend for rice pudding and apple pie (see below). HEAVEN! Good coffee. Good service with a classic diner interior (and don't forget that classic neon sign). I need to expound on the apple pie a moment. No shade to the rice pudding (some of the best in the city), but that apple pie... it's... well, it's close to perfect. I don't like sweet and this pie is not too sweet. It's not not sweet, it's just kind of the perfect level of sweet. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to get it again, as the memory of that pie is almost as good as a forkful.

    We always try to find a good diner for any trip we take. We stumbled upon this place after a long stroll after we got our early morning coffee and thought - now this is a diner! Right when you walk in, you know this place is packed with locals and regulars. Everyone knows each other and the staff is extremely friendly. We ordered the corned beef and hash along with some sweet waffles. Both were absolutely AMAZING! We ate well and recipes before our next long walk ahead of us. Great breakfast spot!

    Stopped here for a quick bite. Place is just that a quick bite to eat. Nothing fancy but you will leave full

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.

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.
