Times Square Diner & Grill

We needed a big breakfast before driving home and this seemed like a good place to try based upon the ratings. We were very satisfied with our choice! It's not very big (I'm guessing ~60 patrons can eat at one time) and reminds you of a diner from the 70s with booths and seats at the counter. The food was freshly prepared and the portions were huge! The pancakes were fluffy, poached eggs perfectly done, home fries that had great flavor, soft French toast, and homemade spicy sausage! 😋 The staff were very friendly and attentive. I will say the prices were a bit higher than I expected (with a generous tip breakfast for 3 was $100), but I definitely feel we got our money's worth!

The menu ranges from hearty breakfast options to burgers and desserts. We had breakfast here, and it was the best meal of our trip. Absolutely amazing! Very flavorful. The fruit was mouthwatering and very fresh. The staff exemplifies exceptional hospitality. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, they make you feel right at home. They are prompt with orders and go the extra mile to ensure your dining experience is seamless. With its delightful atmosphere, exquisite cuisine, and top-notch service, it stands as a beacon of culinary excellence in the heart of New York City. It's only a short walk from the center of Times Square.

had a quick visit to NYC and decided to make this the first stop for breakfast. I chose this place and had it on my Google to do list for a few weeks because of the interior design. I thought it was really nice and low to mid century modern. Definitely did not disappoint because the atmosphere inside of the diner was really cute.

The waiter that took care of us at the bar was extremely kind, very friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good. I personally wasn’t blown away by my French toast (it tasted like the grill a bit) - I thought it was a little bit high, but considering it is New York, and this was in a very touristy area I think it was fair enough. It’s a nice stop to consider for sure.

Just a block off Times Square this diner serves an excellent breakfast on busy weekend mornings. We had a BLT, omelette, eggs and sausage - all entrees were very good. The staff extremely experienced and professional. Would definitely return.

There are both average and great menu options. Overall the food tasted nice and none of our mixed party of kids and adults had any complaints. The service was fantastic. They are attentive and efficient and offer helpful advise. We liked the s smoked salmon wrap, Athenian Omelet, and Banana Blast French toast. Hot drinks were also pretty good but more variety would be welcome. It's of the very few options around Time Square with great seating and reasonable prices.

Dinnertime-quick service.
Staff was very friendly.
Food came out quickly and correct.
Portions are huge!
My 16 yr old son ordered the Greek Chicken Wrap and couldn't finish it.
The Mac n cheese is home made.
My wife really enjoyed the Rueben.
My BLT was delicious!

This place was amazing, it truly blew us away on many levels. First, the food was very good, even the coffee, and especially the french fries. Second, the service was amazingly fast, like nothing I've ever seen... literally our food was on the table 2 minutes after ordering, like they were reading our minds. And it wasn't just a one-time thing, we ate here 3 straight days during our visit to Manhattan, with super fast service every day. Finally, the staff was super friendly, especially Javier, Alex, and Steve. They made us feel like we were the only ones there, yet I saw them treating other tables exactly the same way. If you're reading this don't hesitate to pick Times Square Diner & Grill to eat!

We came here on a Friday evening and was seated right away and once we placed our orders (which the servers memorized (very impressed)) the food was hot and came out very quickly. We got burgers, fries, a bagel, an omelette and a steak sandwich and everyone loved their food! The French fries were some of the best I’ve had out in a long time! Definitely worth getting them as a side! Additionally, all the employees were so nice and the vibe was also nice! Great place to grab a bite to eat near Times Square!

Casual atmosphere with superb service. The process are a but high but that is easily offset by the friendly and attentive service. I had the BBQ burger which had bacon and caramelized oniservice. Downside was that the burger doesnt come woth anything so that's additional to get fries or another side. It was phenomenal but cost about $18. All in all this is a great spot with the highest quality and servive.

Order the overloaded breakfast and usual, and requested for extra crisp bacon. The bacon was really good, so crispy and tasty! potato's on the other hand was ok, toast and sunny side were good. The French toast has taste of cinnamon. I really love the ambience and the service staff there. They are friendly and make sure you are in good hands.

Burger way better than I predicted! Go for the burger! The wrap and the fries are pretty good too. (Skip the shake though) Best of all is the good customer service! We’ll be back after our next Broadway show again (we did go back, many times! see second pic of a burger).

Excellent diner good after seeing Hadestown. Service was excellent. Portions are large. Food taste and selection better than expected. We drive 3+ hours one way to see a Broadway show from Vermont so a good, hearty, tasty meal before heading home was greatly appreciated.

This place was absolutely fantastic. We went here after a day out in New York, and we were thoroughly impressed. Firstly, the staff are super friendly and served us quickly. The food also arrived promptly and the meal sizes were large and absolutely delicious. I’d recommend the steak sandwich in particular. The place generally has a nice vibe too. The only criticism is that they didn’t have Coke Zero and some of the cushioned seat areas are a little tight, so you may want to avoid those if you’re tall! However, overall this place was excellent and I’d definitely come back!

Don’t be discouraged about a line. My wife and I were seated very quickly. Beware, the servings are enormous. We had the roast turkey dinner with side salad. We divided it in half and still took a full portion home. Delicious. Super pleasant staff. Professional and attentive.

What can I say about this place?
No frills diners with generous portions in the shortest possible time you can imagine.
This was introduced by a friend of mine who saw me visiting NYC for the first time. The space isn't very big but it was packed with people (I assume mainly tourists?)
I ordered the classic pancakes which were soft and fluffy and very big in portion (I wanted to finish everything but I'd failed). My friend ordered omelette with potatoes and likewise, he can't finish it as well, as the portion was huge (for Asians living in Asia).
Overall highly recommended for people visiting NYC for a hearty breakfast if you are staying within Times Square.

Always a must do destination when in town. Big big tasty breakfast. Big eggs with big yokes oh so fresh. Corned beef hash with eggs sunnyside up and delicious home fried potatoes is my go to. But the menu is full of delicious goodies. Don't miss it when in town.

Fantastic Food! Our party had the pan seared chicken and an out of this world burger! Then we enjoyed the mouth watering peanut butter browning dessert (made in house) and it was smooth, creamy and not over sweet and just pure deliciousness!! The only negative I could say was the chairs are fabric and we too clunky and dirty for the vibe and quality!

Diner doesn't necessarily mean cheap, especially not here. With a location in such a central spot, the price of my meal was fair.
When we arrived, we notified our server Jose that we were on a time crunch as we had less than an hour until our Broadway show. He assured us that we would get in and out in time for our show and he was correct!
Would definitely visit again next time I'm in the city.

We came here because our hotel restaurant did not have the breakfast items we wanted. This diner did not disappoint!!! The staff was friendly and the food was amazing.

Huge sizes and very cheap! Went there with my family, friendly staff! Would go again
