Gemini Diner

Amazing breakfast and catered for a school group of 44. Service was great and the quantities were huge and delicious! Thank you!

Nice staff and service. Good for delivery as well. Traditional American Breakfast / brunch lunch

Last morning in NYC, went there for breakfast. I had the 2 egg breakfast, while my wife had a Mexican omelet. Met a former Broadway (and local diner there) singer and had a good conversation with here. Quite the NY character. Staff was friendly and food was good.

Best breakfast I ever had. Food was delicious

Classic NY diner food in the area. Reasonable prices for near grand central. Solid cheeseburger! Fried calamari was very stale and hard though. Service was great.

The atmosphere and service was great. The food on the other hand was subpar. Got the salad and it was drenched in dressing that I gained weight in eating the salad. The nachos that I shared with my family was very salty. The calamari however was good. If you come here, get the breakfast meals as they look appetizing. I regretted my decision and wish I got a breakfast meal instead

Greeted as soon as I walk in. Being that it wasn't extremely busy I was able to pick my booth . First time here and I enjoyed myself! Food was fresh & delicious. It was about 12:30pm it was a nice space not to busy when I went but a continuous flow of people in and out. Everyone that works there was nice & attentive to what I wanted. Side note( To my my bigger people the booths are kinda tight) I'm not sure if they have chair seating. I also bought some sweets for home to share.Plain cheese cake it was good not overly sweet & A strawberry shortcake light & fluffy . Both good.

Good food, nice outdoor seating, but pricey for the quality. The food here is pretty good and we enjoyed our meals. Fries could have used more seasoning. They have a nice outdoor patio which is great with everything going on. Only complaint is that it’s really pricey, even for New York - a panini with fries is $16. Overall pretty good though.

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews this place has gotten. Me and a few friends visit this place once a week after hitting up the movies. The staff has always been very polite and service is quick and efficient. After a few weeks, they remembered us and had our orders memorized too. The food isn't cheap but not particularly expensive either. I imagine it's expensive running a 24/7 diner these days and I'm glad they are there for the neighborhood. As far as the food is concerned, most of the things I've had there have been really good. Burgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, the lamb gyro, salads, most of the appetizers have all been really good and generously sized. They don't skimp on the food. All in all this is a solid choice in the neighborhood if you just want some basic diner foods. We will happily come back here every week.

One of our long rambling walks on our way home on a Monday evening. One of the 2 or 3 times a year we'll stop at a diner for a dessert before the last mile or so home. My husband's favorite used to be something you could rely on any diner to have - apple crumb cake. This place has only apple crumb pie (we had left a different diner about an hour earlier, for the same reason). We decided to stay anyway. To his own surprise, he loved that generous slice of pie! It was piled high with apples and covered on top with a pretty thick layer of a pretty good crumb (I had to taste it, it looked so good). He was really pleased! My lemon meringue pie was decent. I don't know why, but lately every diner's lemon meringue pie is high with overly sweet and sticky meringue and light on the lemon. I'd prefer a shorter and less sugary meringue with a bigger and tarter citrus layer beneath it. But I ate the pie without the crust and it was satisfying enough. Can't speak to the actual food here, but service and dessert were perfectly adequate.

First plus its 24 hours open! Great for weekend late night snacks- Their breakfast is good too. Good worth for money. Love their shakes and they have a good variety of omelettes! One of the cool diners in the neighborhood!

Definitely one of the best diners in the area and it's 24 hours - a win win! The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and you will definitely leave full. Highly recommend.

As far as diners go.... This one made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I guess that's what us Geminis do; I wouldn't expect anything less... or more lol I just grabbed wings and skins, the skins were odd, like big fries as opposed to the boats I used to get as a kid but I sorta went there with the idea to break the chicken into the skin... could t do that! Not that I wanted to at that point, got the wings fry so they were nice and crisp, sauce on the side- pretty dang good.... Decent meal, decent service, creepy staff and creepy guests... guess I fit in well! Lol

Best diner I've been to Manhattan!!! Food is amazing, service is great, love the diner ambiance. I've tried a variety of things too and all so good. Highly recommend the GREEK SALAD, matzah ball soup, omelets, pancakes, fries, lentil soup!!! Great service and ambiance too

Everyone's too mad in this diner Always giving me a attitude when I eat here Very overpriced food After almost choking on this in my chicken tender It's officially my last time eating at this waste of time diner

We were seated right away. I ordered an A.B.L.T. It was really good. They were not stingy with the avocado. My friends enjoyed their food too.

Breakfast wrap has my stamp of approval. Always hits the spot, no matter what time of day or state I'm in. Open 24 hours and friendly service.

This is a great neighborhood spot with a large menu with lots of options. It's a big restaurant, so there is a rarely a wait. The omelettes are really good. The service is quick.

Food is really good, especially the burgers. The size of the meals are good too. Its spacious but the seating is a bit old and dingy. The service is normal. not bod but nothing special. But again... the food is pretty good.

Came here after going to the movies a few blocks down. I ordered the chicken souvlaki, y cousin ordered the Tuscany wrap which was more of a grilled chicken wrap and my friend ordered a chicken quasidilla. My Greek salad was good and so were the fries but the chicken was a little over cooked where it was crispy. It looked like maybe it had been out too long before cooking it. The employees that worked there seemed very unhappy. I asked to refill my water, they did it but seemed annoyed by it. I had to ask three times for lemon slices for my water. They were not friendly at all. We still had a nice time with each other's company. I hope there is some better training in hospitality!

Surprisingly good find! I had Cole slaw, pickles, chicken noodle soup. The chicken was not dry in the chicken noodle soup, which was surprising. Gem in the neighborhood!

Great local diner I've been to for over 26 years!!! Everything's solid n tasty. Enjoy the broad menu n good eats

Was in town for a training. I miss comfort food like this as I grew up in PA and have a place in my heart for certain diner food. Ordered a hot Turkey sandwich with fries as the potato and soup. I put comments in to add gravy for fries too since it wasn't a side option. The Turkey sandwich came pretty dry but they did add an extra small cup of gravy for my fries. The gravy was different in the cup. It tasted like nutmeg or pumpkin or something. Not horrible but not what I was thinking. The soup they sent was chicken noodle and by the veggies it seems like it's homemade. Not horrible but was thinking I was going to order something tomorrow night that also has a place in my heart... I'll skip

Exceptional service. Enormous portions. Great pours. Relatively inexpensive for beverages !!

Intense craving for a chicken salad triple decker hit me hard at 1am Friday night / Saturday morning. Luckily, Gemini is 24 hours.... And also QUICK service. Placed my order while on my bus ride back to Murray hill from the lower east side, and it was ready for pick up within 15 minutes- right when I got off the bus. Excellent portions. Heaping side of fries comes along w the triple decker. They have what I believe is superior chicken salad compared to some of the diners in the area. Solid 10/10.

This is a local diner that is open later hours during the weekday and 24/7 on the weekends near my job and has been heaven sent since I work overnight. For the most part I try not to order at work because the prices are expensive everywhere. However, when I need to order this spot is one of my go to spots for a variety of food options and they deliver quick. I usually order through one of the food apps and never had a problem. One of my favorite dishes to order here is the turkey burger deluxe with sweet potato fries. The meal portion is big and very delicious. I've also had their chicken Parmesan with pasta and never had an issue with the taste. This is a diner I will continue to frequent and enjoy some consistent good food with fair prices.

We had a great experience. We were treated well and the food was wonderful. The restaurant's was quiet enough to hold a conversation. This establishment has extended hours which was perfect for us after getting into town around midnight.

Overall 3 star rating at the time I write this is probably right. I got the Murray Hill Omelet, which was pretty good with capers and lox. It was quite dry, especially noticeable after I had an omelet the day before from Friedman's. My boyfriend asked for no cheddar cheese in his Gemini Omelet, but the waiter forgot to pass that note along to the kitchen so we had to get that remade. The portion sizes are good!

We love the burger deluxe. The guy on the phone is really good. Delivery was quick. Never ate at the restaurant but I know the food is good.

The service was horrible! The staff were rude and disrespectful. It took them 45mins to take our order. The food was really bad too.

I'm soooo disappointed in this place. We ordered on Friday and I'm still waiting on my refund. The cheesecake was moldy - my husband was sick for 2 days. Contacted them and was told someone would call me back - no one did. We called again to speak with Dino was told he wasnt in. We ended up bringing the cheesecake back on Sunday so they can see in person how terrible this was. I'm so upset and cant believe that 3 days later still havent received a refund and no formal apologies. Def. will not EVER go back or order from here again!

Hands down the rudest spot I been to. It made me re download yelp. The servers threw there utensil at us by us I mean myself my daughter and wife Mind you 74 dollars for breakfast. Which I can pay it's fine if the service is worth it. But by god this place needs someone to lift there employees I will Never eat there again.

Mediocre food but worse part is Handicap accessible signs everywhere ,but restrooms are down a steep staircase in basement. And no bars for support near toilets. Per owner he is exempt from providing accessible restrooms are building over 40 years old ????

This was the tuna "melt." I would not recommend at all after an hour wait and $17. :(

Have been consistently better all around! I will continue to order from them so long as the food remains the quality it has been. I love their Cobb and Greek salads!

I was told to order my food from Gemini Diner and I had the most disgusting lunch; a very dry fresh roast Turkey sandwich and a stale Caesar salad with chicken for over $38 dollars!! I called Gemini to have them correct the horrible stale, wilted salad-they refused! I will never order from them again, such nasty customer service. Don't waste your time, so many other delicious diners in the area with much better food quality and customer support!

The food gives me diarrhea. Every time I eat here. Which isn't often. But out of convenience as it's on my street. Never again.

IF I CAN GIVE A NEGATIVE STAR I WOULD. the food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered chicken ceaser salad and a cheese burger on rye bread with French fries. my salad was soggy and my chicken was dry. I couldn't even eat it. the burger was awful. it tasted like 3 day old meat. there was no utensils or ketchup and for my burger delux, the lettuc,tomato and pickles were wrapped in foil on the side. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I WOULDNT GIVE THIS GOOD TO LY WORST ENEMY. the k my thing they got right was a bottle of water.

We go as a group with our neighbors about once every other week. 1. Not the best diner in town as it relates to food. They could step this up a bit for sure. We don't go for dinner anymore because it's been disappointing. 2. They charge a 4.2% credit charge fee. This is becoming a more common practice but we try to avoid places that do this. Pretty steep really. 3. The suggested tip amounts are based on total purchase, including tax. So the suggested tips are higher than you may think. That's a little sly. 4. No receipt given. We think they are saving money on paper but they should print both sets -- one for them and one for the customer. 5. On the plus side, they do make good coffee. So that's a plus.

I've been here a few times and the food's actually really good for a 24 hour diner. The first time I went on purpose during the day and I was incredibly hungry and was craving smoked salmon. I got the smoked salmon poached egg Benedict with potatoes, and the smoked salmon came in a good portion and the eggs were perfectly poached. It hit the spot and gave plenty of food. The potatoes were slightly lackluster but that may be because there were so many and became repetitive. The second time I came here it was equally good too, despite being much later into the night. Prices seem high, but is likely average for a great diner in NYC.

First time back here in awhile and it's my last. No air conditioning even tho it was in the 80's. Service terrible. Sat us in a section where the waiter must of been out to lunch. Someone finally took our order and, although it was fairly empty, 30 min later I was served cold eggs, cold potatoes and even the toasted bread was cold. Since our waiter was probably still out to lunch I guess nobody picked it up until it had sat for a while. When I finally got a waiters attention there was no apology or offer to redo the order. Told the manager when I was leaving and again, no offer to replace the items or not charge me for a terrible experience. Will never go there or order from them again.

Old school NYC diner serving a bit of everything. Had a waffle and fruit here, and it was good, but expected it to be a tad bigger for the price. Open late, good service.

All time favorite dinner. Great food from the salmon to the pasta to the breakfast. Big selection. And 9/10 food is great. Also nice to have still some 23hr places after COVID. Great place.

Everything is fantastic I come here for the steak and it is just wonderful medium rare they give you a steak knife get it with a wonderful Coca-Cola this is a delightful place they're open late enough weather is getting cooler you can sit outside have a table to yourself enjoy the scenery of all the people walking by north or south on 2nd Ave. take care enjoy come and be part of the family local flavor

Came here for a quick dinner before a movie. Service was good and quick. Wish the French onion soup had more cheese and onions in it.

A disgusting dining option that should be avoided given the other options in the area. Totally disappointing, underwhelming, and poor.

I had a very tasty bacon cheeseburger cooked to order served by a helpful and friendly waiter. The place itself is kind of ordinary but get a table with a window facing 2nd Ave and soak in the people walking by. An outstanding choice if you are looking for reasonably priced and good food.

I had a great time here with a small group. They have a varied menu of fun drinks. People in my group enjoyed both the breakfast and lunch foods that they ordered. My personal favorite was the chocolate chip pancakes! The portion size was plenty big for me. I ended up getting to take a pancake home :) It's a super fun spot in Murray Hill, I'm glad I gave it a try.

Served food that was rotten inside Cheese Ravioli has this brown sludge inside them We ordered w NO sauce No melted Cheese (they don't listen ) They forgot fried onions on the burger When calling them to resolve , they said I should call the credit card for the refund. They don't give refunds. Check picture out of the ravioli w the brown gooey rot in center

Gemini is a delicious neighborhood diner that never disappoints. The menu is extensive and it is easy to get distracted. Focus your attention on the breakfast. My favorite dishes include the Mediterranean Omelette (pictured) , classic eggs Benedict, Murray Hill Omelette, and Challah French Toast. The breakfast is incredible, the service is speedy (both in-person and delivery), and the servings are large. If you are craving a solid diner experience, Gemini Diner is your spot!

This review is only for a recent dinner of burgers that I ordered for my three kids. Let's start with the positive, the fries were really good. The delivery was quick. Now for the negative, the burgers weren't so great. The kids' complained, too much grease and too much "juice" soaking the bottom buns. Kind of how I remember diner burgers from 40 years ago. But for my kids, "old school" only works for pizza. I will have to order some eggs soon, so I can update the review.

Horrific! Ordered a mixed Mediterranean salad and it took an hour and fifteen minutes - I love 2 blocks away. More importantly, the ingredients seemed very old and wilting... the salad leaves were wilted, cucumbers had nearly turned into soft pickles and we found mold on the tomatoes. Stay away from this place!

Great BBQ chicken beast sandwich. And the pancakes are fluffy. The booths are comfortable and there are nice decorations on the wall.

I have been going to Gemini Diner for almost 20 years. They deliver a consistent quality product every time. This evening I placed an order via Seamless. The order got lost and when we called the manager tried to track down his driver. He had us on hold for less then a minute. He was unable to locate his driver. He offered to send a brand new order right away, without us even asking. They are the best diner in nyc in my opinion!

Nothing like a diner with a delicious burger ! I have only had the pizza burger- everytime. However, I can not say enough about how fresh the burger arre. Never a long wait to be seated or to get your food for that matter. The staff are pleasant and attentive. Reasonable prices for diner food.

One of our favorite diners in the neighborhood. We always eat here whenever we have to visit someone at the hospital. The service is excellent, and the portions are huge. We always bring home leftovers. We will definitely go back again.

They can't get a grilled cheese sandwich correct, I mean come on??? This is a$9 grilled cheese sandwich, this is a JOKE!! Second and the last time, this place was great about 7 years ago but SERIOUSLY gone downhill...
