Reviews
I had the steak and eggs (a go too for me when it comes to breakfast) and the ingredients are top notch for the same price you’d get in other diners in the city.
Highly highly recommend.
Menu is slightly limited but still has much to offer, not the most affordable but consistent with other restaurants in the area.
Plus, great stop for anyone who loves Home Alone!
Prices felt okay for the area, and most importantly, everything I had was genuinely delicious. Great spot for an easy, satisfying meal with that diner vibe, just a little more polished.
My date and I got a few things on our table and everything was done to its best. Go ahead and get that Mac & cheese as your brunch, lunch or dinner choice. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT Its crispy exterior gives you a lovey bite with every fork full. The eggs Benedict was a delight with a side of potatoes that I NEED a bowl of!
I’ll be back for more bites, but you should visit too! Also, the atmosphere is so cozy ☺️
The staff were all friendly, attentive, and genuinely informative. Service was quick, seating was fast, and everything felt spotlessly clean. The portions were generous for the cost, which made it feel like a rare find in the city.
We came in from out of town and loved being seated outside, soaking in the buzz of the neighborhood while enjoying a great meal. Empire Diner sits perfectly at the center of a venn diagram between casual, fine, and trendy, and that balance made it the perfect pick for our group outing.
A slice of NYC nostalgia with modern polish. Highly recommend.
We received a friendly welcome, and a table by the window was specially prepared for us. The service was quick.
We had draft beer and among others fish and chips. Everything was fresh and delicious, the portions were absolutely generous. We left the pretty Diner feeling through and very satisfied.
I do have a peanut allergy—fortunately it isn’t severe—but after ordering the hot chocolate, I ended up needing to take my allergy medication. I asked whether it contained peanuts, and the waiter said she wasn’t sure and mentioned that the marshmallows are sometimes made with peanut oil. That was obviously disappointing and be CAREFUL if you have a serious allergy.
