NYC’s New Restaurant Openings

"Diner24 in Gramercy is from the folks behind Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, the automat dumpling automat chain with things like smashed apple pie dumplings (and no locations in Brooklyn). The restaurant is open 24/7, with electric blue booths and classic diner offerings, as well as a 12oz smash burger. According to their Instagram, many of the cooks are church ladies from West Hempstead, Long Island, near where the owner grew up." - will hartman

The most incredible milkshakes, absolutely enormous and delicious. The food is outstanding and huge portions, particularly in the lunch menu. The service was lovely, staff were attentive but didn't hover. Staff were friendly and we had a nice chat about our holiday. Atmosphere was lovely, really well air conditioned (a nice escape from the heatwave), and it was really clean and open feeling. Was so amazing, we came back a second time!

Being someone who loves to try out and explore retro 1950s diners all over during my travels, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit Diner 42/7 for my recent birthday celebration. I was not disappointed! I had an incredible time from the moment my guests and I entered. We were warmly greeted. The staff were accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The décor was impressive, clean, and cheerful. I loved the oldies playing in the background. I’m a stickler when it comes to retro diners not playing oldies music. Our waiter, whose name I wish I had, was fantastic. We ordered as starters the Italian sushi and homestyle chicken fingers. Delicious! Then we had their smash cheeseburgers along with the 'Au Poivre double smash cheeseburger in creamy peppercorn cheese sauce! I'm a huge burger enthusiast, so I can tell you, they were solid and tasty burgers. I was surprised by their delightfully fun and extravagant milkshakes! Mine was the birthday shake. The cake was soft and moist and the shake was not too sweet but equally delicious. Don't be afraid to try one! I highly recommend it! Thank you again to the staff for making my birthday a happy one! I will definitely come back.

It was my first time at Diner 24 and at times I was left speechless. The milkshakes are out of this world. The baklava shake is my favorite. The skirt steak sandwich is a must. Our server Ronney was delightful and attentive. He was well informed of the menu and took his time to assist us with making the best choices when it came to our food. If someone asked me would I choose an orgasm or The dishes I had at this place the choice for me is Diner 24!!!

This place is absolutely amazing. José was the best waiter and no matter how many times we called him over he was the sweetest. I chose the fettuccine with shrimp and butter cream sauce. I never tasted something so good. The chef deserves 10 stars! I will be returning. Thank you for making my twins 13th birthday a success.

Amazing 24 Hour Restaurant on 3rd Avenue in lower Manhattan. Me and my friends usually get together once in a while to have some good eats. This place was definitely worth the visit. Can’t wait to visit again!

Worth a visit if you want a good classical American experience with a diner. Good choice of food. I went for the chicken on waffle and my friend had the tribeca burger. Everything was nice. Big portions. Service was great. The waiters are very friendly and explained the menu well.

I love diner food and I gotta have it anytime I can get it. Great customer service from the time we entered to the time we left. The food was delish, definitely gave me the classic diner vibe I was hoping for. I will be back next time I’m in NYC.

Cool place, fun decor, we had the mozzarella sticks to start then the smash burger and a crispy chicken sandwich.. and finished with mint chip milk shake that comes with a huge piece of chocolate cake right on top, we also ordered the Oreo milkshake. Everything we ate was really delicious so good infact we didn't bother complaining about the excessive noise or filthy bathroom. It's definitely a fun experience if you've got the munchies.

I was appreciative of our waiter, a brown haired gentleman who was fun and friendly. My partner and I came yesterday, I was greeted by a woman who was also really nice and we chatted about jorts :) The thing is--and it's very strange because I have never experienced this at a restaurant...the water was so nasty. It tasted like it was mixed with bleach. Mind you--I am an avid water drinker of NYC tap water. I asked the waiter if it was a special kind of water, and he said it was special...personally I think I just prefer regular water, or at least the choice to have regular TAP. We ended up ordering seltzer, because we simply could not drink that. Anywho, the mixed drink I had called the Uptown was super sweet and sugary, I ended up mixing seltzer in it, because it kind of tasted like medicine...I feel like maybe it was the pomegranate liquor? Idk, but I appreciated the beers on the menu :) MY WAFFLE WAS SO GOOD AND I ATE IT UP IN LIKE THREE BITES. My partner didn't really like her salad, because there was no lettuce in it, maybe we misunderstood the menu...but it was primarily huge cut cucumbers and tomatoes...no me gusta. Also, there are soooo many people on staff and they are all just standing around...? strange. But I understand the place is newer, I look forward to seeing how it grows...

So I finally carved out 2 hours to go visit my Diner 24 family. As always Sia welcomed my family & I with open arms. We always pick-up our friendly chit chat where we last left off. Stratis popped in toward the end of our visit & blessed the table with a lovely surprise (he is literally the BEST guy). Well guys/gals you already know the vibe... Diner24 is consistently everyTHANG!!! Run don't walk.... you will never be disappointed.

Dinner 24 - 4/5 Stars Dinner 24 is a charming spot with some standout offerings. The shakes are absolutely outrageous--huge, delicious, and packed with flavor. However, they come with a hefty price tag, so be prepared for a splurge. We also ordered a few appetizers along with the shakes, and everything was really tasty, though it leans on the pricey side overall. The ambiance of the place is really cute and adds to the dining experience. On top of that, the service was excellent--friendly and attentive throughout our visit. While it's a bit of a splurge, the quality and experience make it a worthwhile treat. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for indulgence!

It's possible that I missed the point of this place, which might be to serve instagrammable food. I was there after midnight and a drunk guy fell on me. It was 2am Sunday so a lot of people were expectedly loud and drunk. Even recognizing that, a lot of the clientele seemed like pigs to me I ordered a $24 tuna sandwich on toasted rye and iced decaf coffee. After I ordered the most expensive tuna fish sandwich I have ever ordered, I waited the longest time I have ever waited for a tuna fish sandwich. When it arrived it was two very large mounds of tuna, each decorated with a large slice of tomato and melted cheese. The tuna was good quality but the bread had turned to mush underneath it and it wasn't much of a sandwich. I tried to pick up each half but the dissolved bread wouldn't hold together. I started eating it with a fork but there was something about eating undressed tuna with a fork and paying $24 for it that made me feel like I was being pranked. It was two mounds of mooshy food. A Tuna sandwich kinda needs a sturdy bread , both for mouthfeel and for structural stability. It was a real George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon moment. I literally told the manger "I don't know how to eat this. It's too much tuna." They brought me more bread and I made a properly proportioned sandwich out of a third of a the food. The greasy fries messed up my guts. When I got back from the bathroom someone had cleared my other sandwich away. It seemed like a pretty clean place. No vermin, clean bathroom. But other than that: The clientele sucked. The food was bizarre. The Service was really slow. I think they mean well and want to be good. I sense an earnestness behind this place. Maybe I came in at the wrong time and ordered the wrong thing. Dining experiences can leave you feeling all kinds of ways. This one left me feeling like I'd been tricked.

We waited for months for Diner 24 to open. Every day, we would walk by and look for a sign that it would be ready for service. When it finally did open, we were excited to try it with our friends from the neighborhood. Unfortunately, after three tries at the restaurant, and a couple to-go orders, we won't be back again. We went the first week it was open. Two of us had the Cobb salad and one of us had the Smashburger. While the food was OK. each dish came out about 10 minutes apart from each other. The food and the service were lackluster, but we chalked it up to growing pains of a new restaurant. The second time I went was for breakfast with my daughter and her friend. Half the items on the breakfast menu were unavailable and what we did order took 30 minutes to arrive. When it did finally arrive, it was mediocre. The third, and probably last time, we went for breakfast. We had the health omelette and the chocolate croissant French toast. The omelette was mid but the sausage was pretty good. The French toast was an abomination slathered in chocolate sauce and some strange white sugary goop. It would've been edible except for the parchment paper we found cooked into the dish. It would probably be a better dish if they dialed it back a bit. Yet again the service was slow. I had to ask for the check multiple times and then ultimately had to hunt down the waiter to get it. We do like the Smashburger and will probably order it to go again. The fries and onion rings are disappointing. The fried mozzarella is pretty good and when they actually give you the sauce with it, it's pretty tasty. I hope they can work out their service problems with both the front and back of the house because the neighborhood could really use a good diner.

Everything was delicious the food the service and the ambiance. We walked in and was greeted with a smile by the hostess and the gentleman server was right there to seat us. I love the mini jukebox on the table giving the 80's vibe. The server was great with our order but when the food came it was amazing in portions. We was so shocked how a chicken salad was made so plenty and flavorful even having the pita bread warm and buttery was different and delicious. My other friend had chocolate chip pancakes and I had a breakfast meal. We all couldn't finish it but we really tried...lol the Nutella coffee was so good. Everything was filling and fresh. Again the hostess was so sweet even trying to teach my old school friend how to use a feature on her phone. It really is a great diner to have a good meal with good vibes. I will be back soon

My friends and I came in here absolutely starving and needing delicious food and quick service - that's exactly what we got. Also the decor is so cute and old school diner. We were seated in seconds, drinks were on the table immediately and our food came out in under ten minutes. I was nervous the food would taste like it was prepared in ten minutes but it did NOT. It was sooooooo delicious and I will be returning. The chicken parm sandwich (with burrata and vodka sauce) is what dreams are made of.

Late Night Eats! We came here around 1:30am on a Tuesday morning. Being that it's a "diner" I really didn't have high expectations. Welp..... Diner 24 blew me away and shut me up!! When we first walked in there wasn't anyone at the hostess table so we sat ourself. Within minutes of sitting a gentleman came over to greet us and give us menus. The booth we sat in was that of a standard diner. Condiments on the table with napkins and a cute jukebox. After a quick scan we decided to share the BBQ Lamb Ribs (you read that right), for my meal I had the Surf & Turf sandwich and my BF had pancakes with eggs and sausage. The lamb ribs were like nothing I've ever had. It was bursting with so many different flavors that all meshed very well together. The Surf & Turf sandwich is out of this world! It's filet mignon & lobster on ciabatta, the perfect size and completely STUFFED. I would come back weekly just for the sandwich because it was sooooo good! Cocktails are my thing especially if they're mezcal, tequila, whiskey or champagne based. I ordered a Gotham Sour but unfortunately there wasn't a bartender at that hour so I went with a frozen pre made option instead. I had the Lychee Coconut which was good and strong for a frozen cocktail. Diner 24 will surely see me again!!

This place is phenomenal!!! The decor is super cute and gives retro diner vibes and the fact that it's open 24 seven is a lifesaver you would think in a city that never sleeps there would be a lot of places that are open late, but unfortunately there isn't so this place comes in handy for late night cravings. Everything we tried was delicious especially the milkshakes. They're not ordinary milkshakes. They are jam packed with goodies like cake pops or ice cream bars which blew our mind !! The staff was super attentive and always on top of anything we needed definitely recommend this place

This establishment is such a cool spot to eat in, but what stood out most to me , was the staff and the owners. They were all so great and friendly and happy. Our server was especially great as well. The drinks are good and the milkshakes too. The mozzarella triangles were so good, I'm a big fan. I had the double cheeseburger and it was tasty, just a great burger. The pancakes were extremely good and the chicken and waffles were incredibly good. Probably my favorite dish. The lobster roll was great and the big salad was excellent. All around , everything was great . I love the little jukeboxes too and the interior is just cool , I love it. I can't wait to go back, oh and the cake pops were delicious.

I dream of Diner24! This modern 24hr diner with cool decor is what was missing from the New York, New York landscape! I was so pleased upon arrival through departure from whence I had gone to meet my friend who lives a mere block away. Immediately, the service was all around attentive and friendly. Our waiter Edwin, and other staff made us feel very welcome, frequently checked on us, and never rushed us. The food was DELICIOUS! The 12 ounce smash burger was massive! I ate it with a knife and fork without shame, haha. The fries were slender and crispy, not greasy. The plate was served with a pickle spear and red cabbage coleslaw. The baklava tasted of fresh ingredients and was authentically prepared, (I'm Greek so I know). I also partook of the boozy milkshake - The Nutty Irish man. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. It also had a hidden cake pop surprise - how fun! I was gladdened to see that they had eco friendly takeaway containers for leftover food, and paper straws for drinks. (I finished my food but my friend has a smaller appetite, haha.) So many seating options to choose from! Indoors they have booth seating and regular tables, a dining shed outside on 3rd Avenue plus patio seating along on 22nd St. They also have a small bar in the back with barstools and happy hour deals. There are two gender neutral bathrooms on site with pretty artwork hung up to spruce up the space. I always appreciate artwork done in this manner. Lastly, it was heartwarming to see a passing thirsty doggy having a drink of water from the outside fresh water bowls station set up for canines. Kudos to the creators of Diner24! You've not missed a detail in bringing Diner24 into existence! Now, please bring the same to my neighborhood! Haha.

Friday was a steamy hot day and after a long day I was on my way home and decided to stop at Diner 24 to have a milkshake. Strawberry milkshake. Elena made the shake for me. It was served in a tall glass and was less sweet. Opened a few months ago, Diner 24 is open 24/7 which is perfect for night owls. The staff are attentive. I pass by this diner every day and hope to stop for a meal one day. The interior is bright and there is outdoor seating along with a bowl of water and sign for dogs to cool down.

I ran in here during a storm and was sat right away. It was a quiet atmosphere and had the vintage "diner-es" feel. We got the Pigs in a Blanket, Smash Burgers with cheese, and drinks. Everything was delicious. I could've done without the appetizer, but everything else was good. I am knocking a star because we waited forever for our drinks, and the service was occasionally delayed. Overall, this place was nice and fine for inexpensive, good food.

New diner opened up in Kips Bay, we needed another one as the usual fare in the neighborhood have been slackin'. Located on the corner of 3rd and 22nd, quite a bit of foot traffic due to the proximity of 23rd. Had no trouble getting a booth for breakfast, they even have the cute little music jukebox you used to see back in the day. There is the usual diner selections on the menu, it's quite pricey but when I got my food it reflected with quality and quantity so that's a plus! I ordered the Italian Omelette exactly what I wanted, they weren't stingy with the Mozzarella. The coffee was great and was only $2.50!!! The waitress was very attentive and friendly, next time I come I want to try one of their handcrafted sandwiches, they sound really yummy!!

I came here expecting your standard diner, and was presently surprised to find not only my favorite standard diner options but also a lot of elevated and fun options as well. Diner 24 is a classic looking diner, that has just enough decoration to make it feel themed without being too much. The menu has lots of things that you would expect on a regular diner menu, plus some exciting additions. we were really craving classic diner food so we stuck with a 6 ounce smash burger as well as the grilled cheese that comes with french fries and tomato soup. I absolutely loved the smash burger, and I was so thankful that they gave a full side of pickles with it because I ate almost all of them. The grilled cheese was also really yummy, and the tomato soup was honestly fantastic. They seemed a little bit shortstaffed when we came so we had to flag down our waiter and remind him to bring our drinks, but I think we kind of showed up at a weird time of day and it wasn't unreasonable. I will definitely be back to try more menu items!

This place just opened, and it is already a neighborhood gem. At dinner time, the place is bustling with customers enjoying conversations and the great food. The decor is retro-diner, including mini-juke boxes at some of the tables. The servers must be the hardest-working wait staff in New York. They are friendly, well-trained, and eager to help. The burgers are huge, juicy, and delicious. Other good food choices are the Reuben sandwich, "Greek onion soup,", chicken fingers, grilled cheese, pigs in blankets (made with phyllo dough),and tomato soup. The coffee is excellent. We got a warm welcome from the owners, and a warm goodbye from the hostess.

We had a humiliated and disappointing experience. Several people were seated and got their food before we were offered a menu. My party had to nudge the waiter multiple times before we could put in our order. One of the waitresses was visibly rude to us, said something in Spanish, and walked away when we gently asked if we could put in our order. The food was ok and definitely not worth going through feeling ignored and looked down upon. Edit: The business owner mentioned that "today no one sat without a menu", which contradicts with our experience. My party was never offered a menu. We continued to be ignored while other customers who arrived before us get order and receive their food. We even had to nudge the floor leader for water as no one offered us water. After some more nudging and waiting, we then ended up having to look up the menu online and never got to touch a physical menu. We're a reserved party and respectful of service workers and don't think we did anything to offend anyone. This experience left a sour taste for us and don't think we'd ever return. We hope future customers have a better time that we did.

I asked the server, can I have the roast beef sandwich with no French onion dip and no onions. I was brought a French onion soup and a roast beef sandwich that's full of grilled onions! I was extremely specific, since I don't like onions. You said the waiter misunderstood me? When I very nicely let the waiter know, I did not want any onions, he grabbed the plate stomped off and didn't come back, not even to refill my friend's water glass. I'm still sitting in your restaurant, you replied to my review in seconds! You are refusing to me let leave, I just want to go home. Dimitri came over to make things right, he was extremely nice and polite, I did say no it's OK, I just want to go, he brought me the 2nd sandwich and it was again smothered in onions, he brought me a 3rd sandwich, I kept telling him no, I just wanted to leave. I understand he/you were trying to make things right, and appreciate him for that, but during this entire fiasco, your waiter walked over and said to me, "you told me you didn't want onion soup, and you didn't like onions. I didn't know you didn't want onions in your sandwich", then I was forced to take a bite of the 3rd sandwich. Now you change your reply to me on yelp on Google. I never once said I would come back, my experience was horrible, you had to remake it three times because two times it was wrong. I will never come back. You did not handle it right because I was being harassed and forced and kept at the restaurant. Then your waiter to come over and harass me while Dimitri walked away. And to answer my friend left that review because he's in the service industry, I don't know what's worse, the fact he thinks you abuse your workers and he needs to save them, he said your workers were trembling, and scared, he didn't want them to be fired and actually my friend was the drunk one, he doesn't even remember writing the review, he keeps calling me a colleague in the review and that I ordered onions. He is always trying to save the world, I told him he shouldn't of left that review, all he is doing is condoning your behavior, I had to tell him what even happened. And what makes you think I would ever come back???? I was forced to stay, forced to take a bite out of a sandwich that had to be made 3 times. I was very nice and begging if I could just leave and it's okay, you didn't have to remake the sandwich the 2nd time or 3rd. I just wanted to go! I did say Dimitri tried to help, when he walked away, your waiter came back to harass me and tell me that he knew I didn't want onions but I didn't say on my sandwich, I ask him with a please, to walk away, that it wasn't appropriate what he was doing. I was not rude, or mean, your waiter grabbing the plate, stomping and not coming back triggered me to write the review, I had no interaction with him, then you were forcing Dimitri to get me to stay, this could've been handled differently.

You can't go wrong with ANY dish at this throwback to the 24 hour diner. Everything the kitchen puts out is fresh, robust and delicious. From the incredible smash burger to the jam-packed shakes to the fall-off the bone lamb...and who could possibly forget the shaken Greek Salad...OH MY GOD. The ambiance is everything you want in this format...nods to the diners of yesterday. The service was spot on without skipping a beat.

After my flight and proximity to my hotel, I thought Diner24 would be a great option for a late dinner. The interior is bright and cheery, and impeccably clean. It was not crowded so I opted for a booth for myself, which was quite comfortable. My waiter came by quite quickly, and with a bottle of water. He was affable and took my order straight away. As I waited for my soup, I tried the pickles provided at each table. The pickles were quite good...but they should rethink the communal aspect of how the jars are kept on the tables post-COVID, with each subsequent set of customers at the tables grabbing a spear out of the same jar. My avgolemono soup arrived and was really tasty. I had ordered the spicy homemade cavatelli. It was timed perfectly...not will I was still working on the soup, and not a very long wait after I finished the soup. That may seem like a small thing, but I hate when the main is brought too quickly as it can get cold, or if you have to wait too long. Turns out, I should have just stopped at the soup and not have ordered the cavatelli in the first place. First, it was not cavatelli, but linguini. I get that sometimes a dish may have some variations if something isn't available - such as being out of cavatelli. But the waiter should advise of this when ordering an item. In this case, not the biggest issue, but I was looking foward to the "homemade" pasta. The biggest issue were the three components. The linguini was well past Al dente and quite mushy. The chunks of chicken were the sort of cubed frozen chunks that are always overcooked and somewhat hard. The spicy tomato vodka sauce was not spicy at all. As a matter of fact, it was quite sweet. Thinking more on it, it was not very different from Campbell's condensed tomato soup with a few flakes of red pepper added in. The cheese on top was unidentifiable and not "melty", even when stirred into the hot pasta...sort of remaining like plastic pellets. Overall, it reminded me of the macaroni and ketchupy soup from bad childhood school cafeteria memories. Several diners near me had ordered the smash burgers and fries which looked good. I would go back to try that. Just avoid the nasty ass pasta there.

The NYC Diner is back!! Best smash burgers in NYC ..& open 24 hours! I love the retro cool decor with jukeboxes in the booths. The staff is very welcoming & friendly & service is on point. I especially loved the chicken parm w buratta sandwich & the mozzarella triangles. All the choices of milkshakes are a dream come true ! A great new & much-needed nyc diner & my new favorite place!

I love having a new diner on the scene that's retro, but not overtly kitschy and also good! The place is as clean as can be, with lovely decor. The red coffee cups on the tables stood out beautifully against the black and white decor. We couldn't get over the Bluetooth jukeboxes, a throwback to the old school table side ones of yesterday, except you can connect to these via Bluetooth and play your own music! We loved that detail. The coffee is good and I had the Salmon Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was remarkably good, very lemony and bright. The waitstaff was super kind, accommodating, and friendly. It's a great addition to the NYC diner landscape and I'm excited to return for lunch and dinner.

What a great find! Diner 24 was a surprise. Mont only was the retro decor reminiscent of my "youth", the food was excellent. My turkey avocado blt wrap had real turkey, not deli meat and the side salad fresh. It was a substantial wrap! Price reasonable- which is a welcome change from so many restaurants these days. Staff was pleasant and didn't rush us. Would definitely recommend if you are on the East Side.

We came here with our 2 year old after school for a quick lunch. They were extremely friendly and kind to my son who loved dining here, he keeps saying "I go back there." The service was great, the staff and owner were attentive. We ordered the kids chicken tender and fries for him and he barely ever eats but he had a whole chicken tender and fries. I had the crispy chicken parm, the chicken was crispy and juicy and the burrata was divine. My husband had the hot roast beef with the French onion soup dip and it was fantastic. We've told friends with kids about this place and they too have visited and nothing but great feedback. This is had now become one of your neighborhood favs!

Diner 24 is not your ordinary diner, it's extraordinary! Not only was the service superb but the food was next level as well! We ordered the Lamb Ribs that literally fell right off the bone, the Greek Onion Soup which was cheesy and full of umami, the Hand Shaken Greek Salad which was outstanding. I love how it had all around flavor. Our fave app was the Spicy Mozzarella Triangles. Unlike the ones I've had from other diners, these are made with fresh mozzarella and comes with a homemade creamy tomato sauce. If I didn't know any better, I would think that a Nonna was in the back making the sauce from scratch. Next we took on the Trifecta which has 3 18 oz smash burger patties, cheese, bacon, 2 fried eggs your style, onions and mushrooms. Not only was it big in size, it was also big in flavor which is usually uncommon with burgers that size. It was perfectly cooked and juicy as well. The Crispy Chicken Parm Sandwich also blew us away. The burrata was a really nice touch compared to the cheap mozzarella that is most commonly used these days. Lastly, we ended our meal on a sweet note with the Baklava Milkshake. Love how the baklava is on top and mixed in. It's heavenly bliss in a cup! If you haven't been, now is the time to go. They're open 24/7!

Oof I had high hopes for this place. Menu seems genuinely interesting and decor is nice. However they need to work on basic customer service. Husband toddler and I came in for brunch. There were many 3 other tables in the restaurant. Not too busy. They gave us a kids menu which I appreciated cuz I hadn't seen anything like that on their website! I had inquired about the "keep on truckin" waffle, wondering if it was shaped like a truck or something as the kid would get a kick out of that. Waitress had no idea, but would have been happy to find out. Nah it's ok. We ordered the keep on truckin waffle and a kids milkshake. Iced lattes for us. Then ordered our egg plates - mine was with home fries and white bread. His was with French fries and white bread. She WROTE IT DOWN on her notepad as we're ordering. Food takes a really long time......... Iced lattes are very weak. Fine, our fault for ordering at a diner... After about 15min, our egg plates come out. Somehow we both got rye bread? And he had home fries instead of French fries....whatever no big deal I guess. Home fries are room temp/cold.... We had promised this kiddo a milkshake but still have yet to get one. So we reminded the waitress. She said yup! It's on the way. 5-7min go by after we've gotten our dishes, but the toddler still hasn't gotten his truck waffle or milkshake. Obviously we're giving him our food so he doesn't get hungry, but wth. Finally toddler waffle comes...and it's just a plain waffle, nothing trucky about it. With a frozen dollop of whipped cream on top? Not sure why the whipped cream was frozen...still no milkshake in sight. We probably asked about this milkshake about 3-4 times. As we were 3/4 into our food, the milkshake came and it was a big beautiful shake. Not what I imagined a kids portion would be, so before he left, I asked the person who brought it over "is this the kids shake?" He said "yes" and left...... Waffle was dense and cakey. Not my cup of tea. Bill came and I knew to check that milkshake. Yup, it was the $9 milkshake instead of the $4 kids milkshake. I got this fixed by the manager at least. And I didn't catch this until after we already paid, but we also got charged for a regular $12 waffle when it should have been a kids $10 waffle. I truly don't know where these mistakes are coming from. Maybe their POS needs to be updated with the kids option, although I can't imagine they don't have "white bread" as an option. Maybe they need to train the staff better. Aside from the waffle, the rest of the food isn't bad. Home fries are actually good (would be better if hot). Eggs were fluffy and flavorful too. Just everything else was so absurd. I doubt we'll be returning again. No

Long awaited, but worth the wait! My husband and I have been anxiously awaiting for the grand opening and were not disappointed! Despite only having one side of their menu available (understandable, given it was their second service), the options made it hard for us to choose from (because everything sounded so good). We ended up getting the fried mozzarella triangles, zucchini skewers, pigs in a blanket, surf & turf sandwich and the chicken parm sandwich and honestly nothing fell short (the chicken parm sandwich was a little hard to eat because of how large it was, but the taste was a home run). The surf and turf sandwich was especially notable, as we did not expect to get such a generous portion of lobster for the price! We are looking forward to coming back when they launch their breakfast and milkshake menu! Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood!

If you're looking to satisfy your cravings, LOOK NO FURTHER! Diner 24 is a hidden gem, went for the first time and everything was perfect, from the food to the service. The hospitality was immaculate and the owner was very attentive, as well as the servers. The food was oozing of tantalizing savory. The Mac and cheese sampler gave us a few options to eat from if you're indecisive like me, and did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked and was very generous in portion. The drink was the perfect blend of sweet and fruity heaven with the perfect amount of alcohol. Last but not least the ambiance was very nostalgic and comforting. Great energy. In conclusion this is the diner you want to invite friends and family out to. Next time I'm coming for the dessert! Thank you DINER 24!!

The owners, Stratis and Philippe, allowed me to come be a part of their burger taste test. I tried the double smash burger with cheese. It was absolutely delicious and I can't wait until the grand opening on Wednesday to try it again. The restaurant itself looks amazing and really feels like a old-timey diner with a modern twist. The menu has lots of familiar options that you'd expect from a diner but it also has some upscale dinner and lunch options that might surprise you. Stratis told me about their plans to have seating in front of the restaurant as well as on the sides - in the parking spaces on 22nd st. Can't wait to see this whole operation up and running soon!

Probably the best milkshakes in town!! They're huge and amazing. Got the baklava shake and it had baklava blended in it and came with a slice of baklava and all the extra that didn't fit in the glass came in the metal blending cup on the side. Also saw the chocolate blackout shake and it had a slice of chocolate cake on top - looked incredible! Will definitely go back. There used to be a burger chain in town that had great shakes like this but they've gotten cheap and are no good anymore. Also got the Italian omelette with sausage and it was very good. Fast service. Pretty classic, newer diner atmosphere.

The food is incredible. Make sure to order the mozzarella triangles because they add a little chilli pepper flakes and gives it that nice hot kick to it. All the servers were super friendly. Because the restaurant is still new, some servers are still learning how to get it right, so be nice. It can be annoying, but their friendliness can help with the mess ups.... I loved the mango frosé and if you have a sweet tooth, you have to order the milkshakes. They are out of this world! It's a cute elevated diner decorated with hints of diner vibes like mini jukeboxes at the booties. It's a fun place to bring the family for sure!

Well congrats to the owners on actually giving a crap about flavor. Every item I had had substance. The motz triangle was great, esp the house made marinara dipping sauce. We split a Philly and a French dip. The French dip au jus was rich in flavour and a great compliment. While the max and cheese Philly had great flavor and with more cheese some real potential. I was impressed that the meat was cooked and seasoned well. So many places don't have a flavour profile but so far so good on this place. Finished with the red velvet milkshake which was a work of art with a giant piece of cake in it. Looking forward to trying the chicken Parm, they were sold out.

Tried to eat here. Waited for a drink that never showed up. It's hot out. I'm thirsty. Waitress wasn't even getting it. She was talking to co workers. Food arrived. I asked server about my drink. Server got all salty and argumentative..it was odd an un fun. She asked..didnt he bring it to you? Isn't it her job to make sure i have what i ordered? WHO is she taking about? Does it look like I have an iced tea? Why not apologize and say..I'll get it for you straight away. That would be the customer service thing to do. I left parched and went to Joe Jr. Where I got the best service in NYC.

I came here to unwind a bit after a hard day's night - to quote The Beatles - and I must say I was beside myself with the venue, the lovely ambience, great service, and exceptional food.I started with the Lavender Manhattan made by the bartender, Gabriel, which was delightful - a perfect touch of floral sweetness added by the lavender infusion. I then had the Honey BBQ Lamb Ribs recommended to me by Chef Eduard, which are a MUST TRY. Fall off the bone tender, with an exquisite balance of sweetness and spice, this was so good I had to take another order to go. This has to be one of the best sellers, trully did not disappoint. I saw many amazing dishes on the window while seated at the bar overlooking the open kitchen which make it clear to me I need to come back, the Crispy Chicken chief among them which looked out of this world! If you're in the neighborhood I throughly recommend you give this place a shot! From the warm greetings from the host at the front and the hospitable service, this is a place that will surely soar higher with time.

If you are looking for that joyful feeling when you walk into a neighborhood place, this is your place, it's much more than a diner; the food is so delicious and so well thought out- service is caring and friendly- they love families and children - they have enriched the Gramercy area in just a few days and everyone and I mean everyone loves them. Smash burgers to die for - kiddie menu for the little ones - cocktails for the grown ups - yummy desserts - they have not missed a single thing. Run!!!!!

Worst service ever. Overpriced food and it wasn't even good. Had to ask anyone else in the restaurant just to get our waitress to come over. Wouldn't recommend this place at all

The food, drinks, and milkshakes are unbelievable. I went back twice in one week. I totally recommend it. The staff treats you like family. It's the best diner I've ever been to with great ambiance.

Went for lunch which was simply ok. I really hoped it would have lived up to the Instagram post. Sadly ... not so much. Service was great, however, when it came to the food: the fried cheese triangles were cold in the center, the chicken parm sandwich was good but was so thick - couldn't really eat it as a sandwich - would suggest pounding the breast to an even thickness. My son ordered the double smash burger - was just "ok" - nothing near expectations based on the Insta post. To top it off, they ran out of the beer I ordered. Maybe will try breakfast next time.

Decent service. The aesthetics of the diner lure you inside. The food makes you wish you had walked past this place. Think of an old school NYC diner and this is the complete opposite. Diner 24 there is time to improve. Overcooked, undercooked, sloppy, tasteless food.
