Had great dining experience at The Dinner, Highly recommended, Excellent customer service, delicious foods and quiet environment to
I love flame diner! I go here at least once a month to meet my sister for lunch and it such a warm, cosy and friendly spot. Even though it’s fairly close to Central Park (only a ~5 min walk), it is has a very local, classic diner feel. I love love love the chocolate chip pancakes, the BLT and especially the banana split.
Quality 24-hour diner. Generous portions coupled with reasonable prices. Cocktails and wine are available. Worth a visit.
This place offers a truly authentic American breakfast experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. We chose omelets and pancakes, and both selections were excellent. The service was impressively fast and well-organized, yet never rushed. The omelets were generously portioned, flavorful, and very satisfying—we honestly didn’t feel the need to eat anything else for the rest of the day. They were prepared perfectly and clearly made with care. The pancakes were equally enjoyable: cooked to perfection, with a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. They were well-balanced in taste and texture and complemented the breakfast beautifully. Another nice touch was the unlimited water service, which was offered without having to ask. The staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and smiling, which contributed greatly to the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a hearty, high-quality American breakfast served with excellent hospitality.
Excellent diner. Very clean. Good quality ingredients. Simple food. One of the best burger I had in my life. Fast and pro service. My go to diner in New York.
I was a doctor appointment and was hungry after the visit. I found this location walking to the train station. It has a typical diner style. They also have a full bar at this diner. The location look clean. Serve was quick and the breakfast was good. I couldn't complain about anything.
Great place for late night classic American meals. I generally have a lumberjack or a cheeseburger deluxe. Service is fast and friendly. Booths are not for folks who are larger than average (which is typical for most diners)
Loved sitting at the bar and having a little chitchat with the guys working there! True diner experience. Had some great breakfast pancakes. A little pricey, but they were very good.
