Peak New York diner vibes – it’s a small space but service is lightning fast so they hustle people in and out so you don’t wait long even if it’s full. Had to get a mug for myself because the aesthetic was just so classic. I wouldn’t say it’s overly pricey considering where it is in New York either, and the portions are enormous.

We stopped in for lunch before a show at a theatre nearby. The location is great. The diner is small and a bit cramped. If there’s a line, people are huddled together waiting for an open table. It’s a mixture of tourists and locals.
The servers are nice, but hurried. Food is served fast, our fries could have used more time in the fryer… however the cheeseburger was delicious!! Perfectly made but needed addition of salt and pepper. Large menu… Pricey.

Busy NY diner, but totally worth the wait. Which is really the only downside. You can’t go wrong with the Pancakes and bacon. My husband had The San Fransisco, it’s served surrounded by cutout potato skins, with cheddar, Swiss , turkey and the insides of those potatoes.
And what breakfast is complete without some grits. Which were of course very yummy!

We saw this when we were walking and decided to stop because we very hungry for lunch. It was a yummy choice. The food was very expensive but it was fresh. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries. The others got a party melt and Ruben. The pickles were yummy! The service was very quick!

We stumbled across Astro on our first night in NY. We hadn’t been in the city more than a couple of hours and we just wanted something light. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We opted for open faced BBQ brisket with french fries, pickles and coleslaw….the serving has more than enough and very tasty. We returned the next morning for breakfast and I had pancakes,(when in America ), with Canadian bacon…a strange combination to an English palate BUT it works really well and was delicious. The menu is VAST and very varied…well worth stopping by for something to eat. Ps it’s a lot better than my pictures show.

I dont know WHY Hilton concierge looked at me with my pregnant belly and my toddler (and my family of 4) and said, “yes this place is family friendly.”
Older kids? Absolutely.
It was a nightmare and it wasn’t even the place’s fault.
It’s a tight place. Enough space for one person to walk down.
I had to leave with my toddler while my daughter and spouse stayed. They liked the food and didn’t bring any back for us. So below is my daughters perspective.
My 8 year old daughter says the food was 6 stars out of 5. She said service was also 6 stars out of 5. She was able to ask for help and they helped. She said the atmosphere was calm and she got to talk to her dad. So the ratings reflect her experience. So…thank you for giving her a good experience on this trip.

Quick and easy if you are nearby and need to get in and out, but other than that it’s expensive for what it is and probably not worth the visit.
I can see a nostalgic factor to the seniors who frequent here but if you’re looking for a good diner with lots of options and bang for your buck, this one’s not it. We got two fairly small, standard dishes (egg and ham sandwich + BLT) and it was over $50 incl. tax/tip.
On top of that, this place is very small and even walking in the aisles was hard… and I’m a relatively tiny person. The setup isn’t good for lounging and with the prices high, food quality pretty OK, safe to say we won’t be coming back.

This is a quick stop spot. I’m not sure I’d enjoy coming back, but it seems to have a-lot of foot traffic. The menu is pricier than I expected. The location is great, that’s a win.
