Came here a little over a week ago and it’s such a cute spot. The architecture from outside is inviting and the inside is upscale cozy. All the staff were extremely helpful and our waitress was great!
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.

Super cute and modern diner with great service and food! No reservation needed.
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!

Empire Diner is a modern take on a classic NYC diner. The menu has a nice mix of comfort food staples and more updated dishes, so it works whether you want something familiar or a bit different.
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.

Very pleased with the service and the food!!! My husband and I absolutely loved the breakfast. The Rye pancakes and the waffle are 10/10!! The staff were so fun and friendly and the food came out quick. The Rose Margarita was insane. The drink was beautiful and really good. I had to go back and get another one because it was delicious. My husband and I will definitely be back when we visit NY again.

I’ve seen Empire Diner for a long while now, but never have gone in until today. I normally don’t always give 5 star reviews, but the food was SO DELICIOUS! The staff were really friendly as well.
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 ☺️

A diner with a touch of formality, this place has style. You can feel the classic NYC spirit oozing through its design, from the sleek chrome to the polished atmosphere.
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.

Long on my list of diners, we finally were in the neighborhood for the U-Haul Art Exhibit and stopped in for dinner. It was delicious. We were warmly welcomed, seated quickly. Our waiter was attentive and the orders taken and delivered quickly. Absolutely delicious food. The desert, the Empire Sunday, was exceptionally decadent!

The Empire Diner in 50s style is located near the High Line Park and the world-famous galleries. The mural behind the diner is also world-famous and, together with the restaurant, makes for a perfect NYC photo motif.
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.

This is a very unique experience, and I think it’s a great place to spend on classic dishes.
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.

Food was good. But the waiter brought the check without us asking for it, right after we finished our food. The place wasn’t even half full. I told him we still wanted dessert.
