Went here yesterday. The food was ok. The older woman minding the register had a lot of attitude. Never said a word but just looked really annoyed with everyone the whole time. Her face was like take it or leave it. Did not greet us when we came in or when we left. Could care less about having customers. The waitress was rushed and not completely friendly. Soon realized it was the end of her shift. The replacement was much much nicer. Food was just okay.
Ill start by saying the food was good and the service was quick and polite but:1) A lady started her shift by the counter and started cleaning her sweat with paper towels infront of everyone, including down her shirt and back, to make things worse, she never washed her hands!! It was disgusting.2) Ive been to a dozen dive bars in NYC and this is still the most disgusting bathroom Ive seen.I will NEVER go back there
There are LOTS of great diners in NYC, and this is NOT one of them. The Reuben was … not even a Reuben, forget it. The service was prompt and the place was clean, so no complaints there. But in NYC, there are so many GREAT places to eat, this place is a wasted meal/money.
We got sat next to the garbage and had to swat so many flies away. It was gross. But the staff is friendly and the food is okay. I just took stats off because of the flies and the text the baby chair was brought to us dirty. I wiped it down with my own wipes but they should clean this stuff before giving it out.
Surprisingly good food and service. Was a little wary because of the previous reviews but the waffles and bagels with lox we ordered were good. The service was nice. They were attentive and was available when we needed them. It gets crowded by locals. Great location. Easy to get to!
This place has fallen in quality.The food that was cheap is no expensive. The now expensive places food is not good.The staff of waiters only speak Spanish and make a lot of mistakes and move slowly. O guess now that so many other diners have closed they can be this way as their are very few other options in the hood
I came here several times with my most recent visit yesterday. The food is pretty decent and the service is good. They have an extensive menu with lots of good options. Some items seem a bit costly though. Overall, I will come back the next time I pass through.
Sunday brunch, Ordered Eggs Benedict was so in the mood for that, what a disappointment, the hollandaise sauce was too thick no flavor and too orange in color. Was so disappointed that the mimosas was to watered down. The rest of my company said that it was an average and below. I can say a good thing about our waiter even though it was busy he stayed calm and collected. Sorry dont thing Ill go there again for brunch. 😕😞
Excellent customer service and excellent food. The French toast was perfect and the over easy fried eggs were cooked to the perfect point
Food and service were very good
Solid diner with solid diner selections. This place used to feel too crowded, but with Covid indoors now feels much more spacious! Plus they have a huge Covid shack now too.Same great food as before. Service is speedy, if somewhat chaotic. Just a gem of a diner that Im to see survived Covid and came out stronger on the other side
I ordered the Alfredo pasta…Bland bland and did I forget to say bland. I don’t even think I seen pepper. I took 2-3 bites and unfortunately had to throw it away. For the amount of money they charge I was better off buying a jar of Prego’s Alfredo sauce and throwing it over some ramen noodles and paid $6 instead of $25. Horrible I do not recommend this place at all.
Sub-par quality. Cappuccino and beverages are ok, but the chopped streak tasted weird. No dressing for salad, which was basically just very coarse-grained chops of lettuce.But, it is open 24/7! So if you crave hot food at 4 am this is one of your options.
Service was mediocre about 3 servers came up and said that they would be attending to us and appeared to conflict between staff. The food was very good.
Sweet lil Diner. Gracious staff. Nice menu plus some wine offerings.
The Four Seasons omelet is filling and tasty. The staff is friendly and the outdoor seating is perfect for people watching.
To me its just like a movie critic who downgrades Fast and Furious Six because it didnt have a stronger romantic storyline. One look at this place either on anyone of the numerous apps or in person and you should immediately pick up that this place is a diner!When I looked at all the other area breakfast and brunch options I could tell the food would be more artisan than functional. More of an culinary experience than just a meal.I was expecting diner quality food, lets say, something like 1.5 steps above Dennys or IHOP (IHOB.maybe now) you know what; I got exactly what I was expecting.They greated me as soon as I came in.They noticed when my coffee was low and filled it. They noticed my table was sticky and they fixed it. They handled my special order variance to my brunch, spot on.It was also fun to see the number of pick up - To Go orders that were cranked out of this place. Both third party food delivery services and plain old normal folk coming in to pick up an order to go.So...to all those two star reviewers I say What were you expecting when you were presented with the visual evidence of the place and where did it deliver something....less?I felt very comfortable sitting here in my shorts and tennis shoes and looking at many other of the options in the area Im not sure I would have felt they same at anyone of the others
A pretty standard, NYC Greek diner albeit a little cramped. There is an extensive menu and prices are a little higher than average. The food and portions are decent but not spectacular. The cashiers seem averse to smiling or talking.
Tonight is raining a lot and it’s freezing, yet me and my friend got out only to eat here for the third time this week (and we live in Fidi).Amazing place
Friendly staff, good food, and prices are about on par for what youd expect for a downtown establishment. Not cheap by any stretch, but like I said, its not outrageous.
This is my go to place whenever Im in Manhattan. Would recommend fettuccine Alfredo(with added parmesan), wouldnt recommend hot chocolate.
The 3 of us all really enjoyed our meals and ended up visiting the dinner 3 times during our 4 day trip. The 3 servers were very friendly as well. The ambience was very casual and very much a typical corner diner but on the small side.
Happy to be here during the second stage opening!!!A place with reliable Service and very comfortably and well placed socially distanced seating arrangement :)I recommend,but of course it can get a little loud with traffic :)nyc!
Food and drinks were great. Nice atmosphere.
Old school dishes and some modern twists. Delicious all around. And free soda refills which I LOVE!! Spaghetti and meatballs and turkey reuben below.
Not worth the price. Less than mediocre food. Try a fast food place instead,
Food was amazing loved it had my best last lunch/dinner here .fast friendly service would have ate in here a few times but only came across it on my last day. would highly recommend
Ordered Belgian Waffles with fruit salat and got waffles with fruits instead my order. Husband ordered tiramisu and they give him cake with MOLD. Never back. Be careful they don’t worry about quality. Check your food here before when you start to eating something here.
Food was good and the service was quick. Will definitely be back again.
Ok food. Dont sit in a back to back booth, you can feel the person behind you every movement. Oh and mimosas come with ice, that was a 1st for me. Not a fan Lol
Great foof, price chip
A true neighborhood staple. Great diner food. Great service and great prices.[though they have increased as of June 2022] Best breakfast for your buck.
Terrible customer service & late to never orders. Not worth your time or patience for the lack of quality or respect.
Great food Turkey and mashed potatoes Apple very good.
Disappointed. Came years ago and it was great. Last nights meal was terrible. My sweet potatoes fries were cold. I sent them back. They came back cremated! They were inedible. Not happy with the meal at all.
The food is good. Love the Hollywood atmosphere.
We ordered beef burger & chicken burgers. Both were delicious
Rice was not good it was rawSteak dont has saltHorrible experience
The very very worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. My boyfriend and I went and ordered a margarita and an iced tea for myself as I’m pregnant and can’t drink ofc, gave my boyfriend a huge problem w his id even took it to the backFor whatever reason. They very reluctantly have him the drink and practically stood over us the whole meal. I wish I could give a zero rating
We didnt come to this diner very often while Good Stuff was open, but I have to admit, the food is better here. Theyve done outdoor dining very well, especially since adding the additional seating in the street. (Though the heat lamps dont always work there.) Food arrives hot, and its tasty. The menu is enormous, so theres lots to choose from. The staff arent as attentive as they could be, but if you ask for what you need, it (usually) arrives.
Its a NYC diner with an expensive name. Food smelled great but was lacking in seasoning... Reuben Platter and Chicken Salad Club, Caprese. Service was nice and prompt though forgot some things asked for and received things we didnt ask for... Dont think Id be back unless really hungry... but there are a dozen places next to it that might be better... There are good diners in NYC though... If your into lighter seasoned food, perhaps is great. It was not by far the worst...
Delicious food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices.
This is my go-to diner in the city. They have great food, open late, and the people that work there are so nice and accommodating.
Food is meh. Place is not the nicest it gets the job done
Great spot. So glad I found it. Didnt hassle me about having my papers like all the nyc restaurants do these days. Great diner food prepared quickly. Exceptional prices for lower Manhattan
Delicious florentine omelet= good brunch deal for the weekend- really enjoyed my meal and it even came with a choice of bloody mary which I had
This place was the shiznit. Everything you want in a New York diner. Open late or open early. Full breakfast menu any time of the day. I ordered the turkey club which was dry to my taste. I also ordered the eggs Benedict with turkey bacon which was spot on delicious. I actually went back for the Eggs Benedict they were so good.
Great service. The food was excellent. An ideal diner for those who are looking to eat well and pay accesible prices.
Go there everytime we visit our son in NYC. Very good homecooking
Nice service and they make a really good Sunny Side Up Egg
Yes the Hollywood diner is a well-known place thats in downtown Manhattan located between 23rd the food was excellent the service was good and all around always how it always has been for years
One of my favorite places to eat when I am in New York City! Great staff and tasty food always a great combination!
Another community fixture where the food never fails to satisfy. I no longer live nearby but it was nice to return for a quick milkshake!
Had a good dining experience here.
Hollywood diner has the BEST pancakes in New York. Light fluffy absolutely fantastic trust me there is no better. ihop doesn’t come close. You can try pancakes anywhere but trust me Hollywood diner’s pancakes will win the prize. Excellent❤️🏆🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food and great service as well I highly recommend it.
I stopped in for a takeout dinner. I ordered the shrimp wrap with crabmeat. I am from Baltimore and I know crabmeat. The shrimp wrap didnt have any crabmeat near it. However, the shrimp was large compared to other places. I know its a diner but, you shouldnt advertise something that you dont have.
Been eating here for over 30 years. Food is more than decent, huge portions and the best pea soup in town. (Thursdays only)Prices are a little high for a diner, but the rents in our neighborhood are insane.I love watching how they take care of their elderly customers and parents with kids...tons of patience.Regulars and strangers alike are treated like family.What more could you ask for?
Horrible! Food was ice-cold, and delivery person brought it to wrong apt and got into a fight w neighbor, insisting that they ordered the meal. Even if it was warm and delivered properly, it was inedible eggplant parm. Never had a worse meal.
Worse Alfredo sauce I’ve ever ate in my life
Im awed a diner can still operate in Manhattan with the pandemic restrictions in place. They still offer a full menu, we sat outside, in a tented area, a little disconcerting due to the proximity of the adjacent bus 🚌 lane and heavy flow of traffic. But my Corona beau and I had a delightful meal. He went full diner, hamburger, onion rings and Vanilla milk shake. My choices baked potato, with cheese and bacon and a side of big plate of broccoli 🥦. Was just what I was craving. Staff was both friendly and super efficient. Perfect Sunday afternoon meal. Was still full that evening, I didnt need to eat dinner.
Love this diner! The food is very delicious here. Atmosphere is also very nice & has a beautiful ambience. Can get crowded but on weekday afternoons it’s not that bad. Prices are good depending on what you order! Will come again!
A good old neighborhood diner. Locals frequent this longstanding diner where you can get breakfast all day. It can be right inside so there is a cute little outdoor space for covid dining.
🚩🚩Came for a late dinner and the food wasn’t good…The fries tasted like very old grease, the gravy kinda weird and the rice not edible at all!
Great local diner. Average prices, large portions, good service and much better than average fare.
Didnt have a lot of items listed on the menu. Plus they only had one guy waiting tables even though it was pretty full.Dont get the veggie burger.
Used to be the best 😢 We had to wait a long time to order, the food was greasy, flavorless and characterless. Totally disinterested waitstaff. Expensive to boot.
Great food and waiter services was excellent..place clean and prices affordable..only regrets are Covid Vaccine Card .before you can be let in...feels like immigration fingerprinting 👎💔👍thumbprint 🥰
The service and CS was amazing. Healthy Food Choices! Thanksss Amazing Service.
I go to breakfast here fairly frequently because its right where I exit the subway and I like to decompress a bit before I go to work. I have eggs, etc typical breakfasts. Its OK. Not horrible. Not mind-blowing. The decor is OK though a little dated. Theyre on the corner and have full floor-to-ceiling windows so the view is nice. They also have outdoor seating but Ive never used it. All in all just your average everyday diner for breakfast. If I ever eat lunch here I will re-review.
This was just about the worst restuarant experience I have ever had. If I could give a 0 I would. The food was completely overpriced for quality of the food. I order a chicken pesto panni. It served on some kind of pita and had literally 2 piece of spinach on it when I asked for more the manager or owner said thats the way it comes...for $18 it should have a good amount of spinach. You would have better food from McDonalds for half the price. Dont waste your money! Not only is the food terrible the service is worse. Our waiter didnt even bring water and I had to get up to go the bar to get water and you must ask for straw as the glass was not clean. Other guests at my table were higher disappointed. Cheeseburger deluxe doesnt even come with lettuce and tomato. These should be staples. End of story....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
I’ve stopped here a few time, when I come to town, and I can honestly say that I’ve never been disappointed.Everything from the service to the actual meal has been on point and what I would expect from any diner or restaurant.I definitely recommend stopping by if and when you are in town.
Love their breakfast, mainly the French toast. It had flavor and wasnt dry or too thick. Will try them out for lunch. Great place and reasonable prices.
Visited during a really busy time in NYC abc this place was slammed. The staff did their best to get my sizable party in as quickly as they could. We had to move around which caused some confusion between staff and maybe a little attitude. I had a salad, it was great. There were a couple guys in my group that ordered burgers and were literally given a patty on a bun with no lettuce or tomato (had to be ordered separately I guess??!!) Which is why Im giving 3 stars.
Stopped in with some friends for a late night drink/snack. I had their margarita and french fries; both were great and reasonably priced (one of the best margaritas for that price Ive had in Manhattan). They accommodated a larger group and split our checks without a problem. The space was cute and I would definitely go back to check out more of their options.
Its a great place to eat in Manhattan. Ive been going here for years and tried a multitude of dishes in their menu. A lot of it is great. My personal favorite dishes is thd Ruben sandwich and their deluxe cheese burgers. They are really the only dishes that stood out for me from what I recall, every other dish was fine.In the front of the place they have a mini bar which I never tried but they have a large variety of drinks. When it comes to seating they have enough rooms and tables to host about 60+ people including inside and the outside patios. A decent meal should cozt around $14 -$30 depending on what you get of course. I highly recommend this place if you are hungry and it doesnt take long to get seated here. Great place for a date!
Option to add individual salmon to a salad resulted in some canned fish which was 100% not salmon, and definitely not worth $8 (although I have nothing against canned fish)
Good food and service. Pricey though and it’s not for any extra bells or whistles. This place gets really really packed because of the neighborhood and it’s popularity. But I definitely recommend it if you are there and some booths are open. Serves alcohol as well (but limited)
Food is quite good, the French onion soup is top notch, close to the one served in Paris (and believe me, I tried both). Prices are not too high. The spaces on the sofa tables are a bit tight, and selection of beer and wine is quite limited. Nonetheless, a worthy place.
I recently came into the city to take in a show. My party and myself stopped here for late night bite of food. The service here is not very nice. The waiter comes to the table sits down 4 glasses of water for our table at the next table and then walks away,as if we are supposed to reach over and grab the glasses of water and serve ourselves. After a couple of minutes informed my parties that were with me, that I was not going to spend one penny in this establishment. Just horrible service!!!!!
Amazing service and awesome food. It is all well served and really quick. Price is really fine and the environment is very original. I strongly recommend for quick breakfast, brunch or late dinner. The quantity and quality is superb. I strongly recommend it!
From my first experience there I would have given it more stars maybe 4. The food was good, cooked correctly people were nice and then I went to work. I work overnight and it was getting difficult for me to stay awake so I ordered two big cups of black coffee and a soup. Beef barley I believe it was. I work right down the street. You dont even have to cross a major street to get to me and yet it took forever to get my order. The coffees were hot. Great! The soup that I was hoping for would be hot. It was cold!!! In the middle of the night when its cold they brought me cold soup! I had no microwave to heat up. That soup completely ruined my night. Sitting in a draft in the cold. Who in their right mind would serve cold soup in the middle of the night in 30 to 40 degree weather? It really pissed me off. I dont believe Ill order from there again.
Nice place, the service was warm and great, definitely Ill go there again
Manager was always kind, the environment always look great and perfect. Their services are always fast, effective and perfect. Is a very positive environment to be. They deserve every single penny spend on them.
We ordered from the brunch menu (steak and eggs with mimosas). The meal arrived and the mimosa was in a small juice glass filled with ice. I was very disappointed. It didnt even taste like Champagne was in it. The food was good but this mimosa really bothered me.
Service was decent, but the food kinda sucked. I ordered an omelette, added carmelized onions, got regular onions. Opted from home fries and it was more like a home mashed potato. Food was straight up seasonless. My fries were literally mushy, everything needed seasoning.
I love a good diner and this is right up there with best if them. I had probably the best BLT on rye with hard boiled egg, that I ever had. Everything cooked exactly how I asked, with fast, pleasant service, and an efficient staff.
Classic diner feel with an updated menu. Efficient service. Observed personnel to be open minded, diverse and welcoming to all Customers. A very welcome quality indeed. The food was good.
Solid no-nonsense diner food. A fantastic place for a hangover breakfast and an irish coffee. Ordered my eggs over-medium, which is hard to get exactly right, and they came to my table perfectly over-medium. Big servings for a medium price.
Great place to eat! Accomodations for outside seating as well as selected inside seating during pandemic. Food is good. Have been patronizing for years.
Given the name it sounds like some tourist trap. The food is surprisingly consistent and perhaps better than the average diner. The wait staff are cheerful and quick. I give this four stars on relation to a diner (not fine dining).
Cleanest bathroom in NYC (that I used) comfortable, roomy, atmosphere. The Greek lady who works the register is great. Got a burger, chicken quesadilla, and stuffed peppers, thats a great variety for one restaurant and it all tasted great! Highly recommend. Only rated 4 stars because the drink menu was incredibly small. (Only 4 pop choices) so you end up drinking water. But overall a very pleasant experience.
I had the burger here, which ended up being quite bland, though the fries are good and have a nice bite to them. Most other options on the menu are pretty overpriced. If you live in the area, I can think of two reasons to come here: (1) its probably a fine place to have a drink and catch up with a friend in the outside seating area, and (2) you and your friends partied in Chelsea and got some late night hungies. Other than that, Id probably skip it. There isnt even any kitschy diner decor for you to enjoy.
Great service and food. Gave the two of us a booth. Quiet inexpensive relaxing dinner. They even serve alcohol. Much better option than the fancy schmancy other rest. that would only seat us practically in the vestibule at twice the price.
High prices for small amounts of mediocre food.
Still quality food, even in the pandemic
Really rude manager/owner. The waitress was lovely but I waited for more than 20 minutes to pay my bill because he couldnt get his card machine to work. Offered no solution other than charging my card in my absence. Such unnecessary aggression.... sent my daughter outside the establishment so she wouldnt have to witness her mother fighting with such an arrogant ass.Wont be going back.
Excellent for a late night snack. Menu is huge, they have something for everyone. Decent price and great service. Everything we ordered was great. Would definitely come again.
Expensive for decent food and slow service. The waitress was great but it took the cook 40 minutes to prepare a hamburger. That makes it hard to enjoy when you have 10 minutes to eat it.
Was not happy at all... Work around the corner thought it would be a nice idea to grab a bite. Order did not come out as Wanted. Fish is horrible Im disappointed. After reading the reviews its the total opposite. Wont go again not my taste of food not too sure why this place is so popular.
With no IHOP in the area, Hollywood Diner offers quality diner food at prices unsurprising by NYC standards. Their Early Bird Specials are especially good deals, with a large amount of food. The service is speedy and the cleanliness is decent though not extraordinary. Its a diner, so the atmosphere is cheesy (dont expect anything close to a posh Hollywood restaurant experience). The one offering that is a little disappointing to me are their hamburgers, as I wish they had more of a flame-broiled taste. I like their pancakes, waffles, pasta choices and desserts.
Very busy, and you got the feeling the staff were trying to rush you out. You will get the check before you even ask for it, and the waiter will spill coffee or other liquids onto your plate when refilling your cup or glass.Not super clean. Food was very tasty tho!
I really do not see what makes this place special or even satisfactory. Coffee was mediocre. Food is baseline; and really, this is Chelsea: have real maple syrup. People will pay for it and not have that generic corn syrup flavoring. Whats good: staff are kind. Its not their fault the place is managed with little effort.
I am so disappointed with this diner. I believed that for many years this was the diner to go to before shopping on 5avenue and 6avenue. However, that was not the case this evening for my family and I.What’s interesting is that I didn’t feel good vibes as soon as we walked over to the table we wished to sit. There was a family member already seated, one of the waiters were entertaining her until we arrived. The waiter was told by another waiter he was talking to much. Very disrespectful. I thought: No way! There were series of disrespectful moments that I wish I could speak to the manager about but of course I believe the manager himself is disrespectful. I am a wonderful tipper. In fact, I often tip more than 20 percent in restaurants if the service is decent; and much, much more if the service is above average. (I tip the hairstylist who does my hair over 50 percent because I thank heavens that someone can manage my kinky hair) The rudeness , disrespectful comments between the waiters, and the body language towards my table. Demanded no proper tip. I wasn’t going to write a review because we had already left less than 15 percent tip but this diner derseved that and more. Perhaps, they should be placed on the LIST OF VANISHING NYC DINERS. many Thoughts of why they could have been treating us in such way could it have been racism? Judging us as soon as we stepped into the diner? Maybe its just pure evil and laziness. refusing to serve customers with respect. Guess I’ll never get an answer.DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE!!!
Normally, it has had good delivery, but the latest one was very rude and did not take care of the food at all. He didnt read directions, then got angry when he wasnt able to find the place. I put very specific directions on how to find my apartment and the delivery man clearly didnt read them then got angry on the phone when it took him longer to find it. When I finally got the food from the angry man, it was messy and clearly not taken care of. I dont normally write reviews but his attitude and the quality of his delivery compelled me to write this. Again, normally they are fine but this delivery man was awful.
The food was fare, however, the staff went above and beyond with service. I appreciate people who do their jobs well. Thank you
Diner was clean, service was satisfactory and the food was acceptable (ordered a turkey club).
The food was just ok, and what we received was different than what we actually ordered. The service is poor; not friendly or attentative. It seems like the kind of place where you might get good service if they know you or youre a regular customer.
Food is always reliable, staff is friendly, and their outdoor space is both heated, while at the same time open enough to allow fresh air flow.
Recently remodeled diner run by a lovely Greek family. Huge menu with familiar diner fare as well as Greek diner favorites like spanakopita. Small, but inclusive bar, decent prices, and prompt service makes this family business a breath of fresh air in this area.
This diner was okay, food was abit bland and service could be better. Needed food- expected more, not terrible.
Excellent food and service. This diner is fantastic and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with our party of 6 to get us out of the cold NYC weather today. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cosy. Would love to come back here.
I was there last Saturday and I didnt like how the young waitress wasnt able to help me ..I asked for something that I know you have..and she said you dont have it... I think she was not happy taking our order..food was ok..could be better..poor service..
Getting disappointed with this restaurant. Very hit or miss service when ordering on Seamless & I order from here alot. I know today is a holiday but they need to get their act together. Order placed almost 2 hours ago now was supposed to be here 1 hour ago. It just arrived & all of it is cold. Called restaurant three times, was put on hold first time & no one came back to the phone. 2nd time was hung up on & 3rd greeting by a very rude man who seemed rushed in a hurry & did not know my order or address. Guess not surprising though people working in restaurants on holidays are typically incompetent. Not ordering from here again for awhile.
Ok but for NYC it was below excellent. Just a typical diner (nothing wrong) but in NYC you have to be way above average to get a 4 or 5 rating... a 3 is fair for this place because it is NYC...in any other place this joint would rate a 4 or a 5.
We were a group of 11 eating at the diner and we had a good time even though we were a bit loud. I had a triple decker roast beef sandwich which was very good and filling. Im really surprised they didnt kick us out of the restaurant but oh well lol.
I found a dead ladybug in my salad and they are expensive. Also my waitress that originally was serving me clocked out and went home. I was left there alone i had to got up and remind them to charge my plate....
Very good service and food
Sandwich was soggy and fatty, BUT it did have amazing flavor. Service was good, nice to have them open past 9pm too
A slightly above average diner. Food is good if not great, but the restaurant itself is in a nice space with lots of Windows and even some outdoor seating. Good, friendly, professional service.
I missed brunch hours by 20 minutes but they let me order it anyways, which meant I got coffee and a bloody Mary at no extra charge with my brunch order. It was all delicious and service was very good.
Good food but the service is slow and unorganized. We had almost finished breakfast and after three attempts I finally got the waitress attention to remind her of our toast and when she brought it of course it was cold!!!
Good food. Nice atmosphere.
Breakfast menu was outdoors close to 11pm. Ive read it and wanted something quickly , thinking that it was a current menu. Older guy says no. He then put the sign indoors. Gave me a menu. He never said a word to me. Pick up his tip and clean the table.
Food was good but the service was not good. When I said my cup and table wear was dirty a face was made when they took it. And then he just switched it with the next table I feel sorry for the ppl that go to that table
Food was not worth the price. Staff was sitting around and on their phones. I watched my food wait 5 mins because the server was on his phone. Some guy was cursing at the staff and complaining about delivering food. Overall not a pleasant time.
Good food, efficient staff and a quick kitchen. But freezing temperature forced a quick lunch.
Its one of the older diners before the more recent wave of slightly more expensive ones came around in the mid 2000s. Its about as good as any of the newer ones. Very accommodating to large groups, just give them a heads up early enough.
Great location and place for breakfast. I had two eggs over- easy with Canadian bacon. Delicious. Service was outstanding. Staff very tentative.
This is a totally standard diner that has probably been around so long because its not far from shops that drain every last bit of energy from you. That being said, Ive been here on two occasions and havent been impressed, but clearly, Ive gone back and would again if I was starving and wanted to choose from a HUGE menu!
My favorite place since 2014. I come here weekly. It’s like family 🥰
This place is infested with flies, disgusting while you try to eat. Asked for avocado, toast, porched eggs and coleslaw. Guy serving me, useless, didn’t bring any butter, walked away, avocado looked like it fell on the floor before it reached my table. Disgusting.
Bad service, small portions, realitevly expensive prices, and on top of that apparently bad menu design with surprise payments. The food is mediocre but not bad. I think there are better options in the area
The chicken wings didnt come with the sauce I was expecting. My wifes Caesar salad had an unusual dressing that wasnt quite correct for this salad! When the waiter brought over my plate he managed to slide the fries onto the table. One star for the friendly talk with the waiter later on after apologising for the earlier incident.
Great selection, food, and service! And, the location was easy to reach.
The food was delicious. I of course had the burger. It was well done, beautifully plated, clean restaurant and fast service. 5 thumbs
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The food is extremely good, since the renovation it looks fabulous and very Hollywood like, the staff is welcoming and pleasant, the order in service with delivery is actually pretty fast, never had a problem. Highly recommended!!
I went there for breakfast. The food was average. The service was decent. I appreciated the oldschool diner vibe. Ill probably go back again..
Ive gone there about ten times. Nine them were great- great service and food. The one other time I went entailed the most rude, incompetent server I have ever met. I recommend it, but the service is a roll of dice.
I normally go there at night and I have been going there back ten years when the nearby gay club of Splash would drag me in for one more drink, hangover breakfast, or simply to relieve my bladder. Over the years these guys took an interest in me like with all their customers and today after 10 years of living in NYC it is the one place away from home where I feel the most comfortable.Something very rare in NYC! Great personable attentive service that does not rush you out the door like all other NYC establishment. They understand and able to talk to all walks of life. New York needs more places like this, where the people love their jobs and it shows. I love those night crew men who night after night deliver service with a smile.
Hollywood is a basic go-to Diner on Sixth Avenue in Chelsea. The food is fine and the service is adequate.
Diners are dying in NYC they say. Thats sad, but you sort of understand that the original idea (cheap food fast) was hijacked by McDs and others. Now diners are local hangouts, but dont try that here on a busy day, as you will get the message that if you are done with that last bite, its time to move on. Food so-so. Order almost right. Regular coffee ok by NYC diner standards (a low bar)
I work close by Hollywood Diner so its a great Diner to go in and get a great meal at a reasonable price. The staff is very warm and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone
FAIRLY PRICED BURGERS THAT YOU CAN GET COOKED TO PERFECTION AT ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT.THE STAFF WAS WELCOMING AND EVEN GAVE ME A COURTESY CHARGE OF MY CELL PHONE FOR THE DURATION OF MY TIME THERE,WHILE I WAS EATING.KUDOS TO THEM FOR GREAT BURGERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
A nice diner, friendly staff, good coffee. We had the brunch special. Bloody Mary was ok, coffee is better ;) food was good. Id return if I was near by.
Standard diner fare. Huge menu, lots of variety. Service is friendly and efficient. However the cleanliness of the restaurant on a whole needs a lot of work.
Very friendly staff and the spaghetti and meats was amazing need to stop by there more often when I can
We eat at this please because my sister wanna to try real American dinner place...This was the worse burger I ever had! Waiter was slow and not customer friendly! Dont waste your money on this place!!!
OK place! Good food, good prices kinda tight !
I am a big diner fan, they were definitely lacking both in quality and what is offered. The only person that I could see in this place is the outdoor seating, then again it is along 6th Ave
Always my first breakfast when in nyc … good food good portion size. Good coffee
Its a basic greasy spoon diner. Open 24 hours and they do take credit cards. I like that many come alone and sit to read, etc. The staff will let you do your thing but they are attentive.
Where to start. The pickles smelled foul like something that died. The burger had no taste, there was a piece of hair in my quiche and that was microwaved to long. They get more than one star because the people were kind in the restaurant. Wont be returning.
Me and my wife have been eating here for over 20 years. Still love this place.
Good prices. Great omlette with fries and bagel. We had a nice older male waitor who was very sweet and efficient.
Unless you need something at 3 am try to avoid this place. Fries are terrible, salads have equal amounts of water to greens and NEVER, NEVER EVER order eggs from here. Use powder stuff almost threw up one time.
Quickly seated, friendly hostess, attentive wait staff. HUGE Menu (LOL!) with plenty of yummy choices. You will not be disappointed.
Had a nice (very late) breakfast at Hollywood Diner. Sat outside. Good food. Good coffee. Good service despite the humidity.
Was down the street for the WFMU record fair, and needed some nourishment. Skeptical due to the name, and the craziness of the staff running around, but willing to give it a try.The food delivery was fast, and overall ok - the home fries were nasty, but the omelet was ok & how can you screw up toast? Sure, $11 seemed a bit much for brunch - but it is NYC.
Great diner with excellent service and good food.
Great Servise. Big portions. Tasty food. Decent prices. Comfy spot. What else can you ask from diner in NYC :)
Weekday special breakfast prices bring me there twice a week. The staff is nice and they talk to you which is rare. Good simple food.
Used to come here years ago and the food is just as good today. I just had a grilled chicken club that was great. Service is great even when its busy.
Pretty much everything you would expect from a classic diner. Huge menu, decent prices, casual service, and tasty diner food. Nothing extravagant but excellent nonetheless.
Staff was ok...food blah and cold..even coffee was luke warm...Doubt Ill return even trying to support businesses during this time
Food was alright but customer service was not good the delivery man asked for a tip and stormed out and stated rude words to me because I didnt give him one. The receptionist or who ever picked up the phn argued with me about nothing and then hung up on me I mean I spent 65$ there and i received poor customer service
Very nice place and good food. I was just walking in the area and saw the tables outside, very impressive.
Overpriced for what you get. I had much better food in the village area of Manhattan.
Small little spot on the west side. Very cozy and a little small but enjoyable. The waitress was attentive and nice. Check it out if youre in the area.
The food was mediocre. Potatoes and eggs tasted as if salt was never invented. Fruit cup was soggy. Staff looks depressed. Strong coffee
Awesome menu, very reasonable prices and amazing service. The food is great and the service staff is very nice.
Unassuming diner experience near schools, subway and shopping with a friendly staff.
Ordered drinks. Which took forever to come. There was an incident on Halloween night which was not handled well.
RIP OFF!! $46 FOR TWO CHICKEN CAESAR SALADS!??! There is WAY too much on the menu, it is like reading a dictionary! So confusing! Pay extras EVERYWHERE. Waste of money.
I absolutely love this place. Lots and lots of options. I enjoy Hollywood omelette. Service is super good. Rates are good too. Definitely give it a try.
Good place for a quick bite.
Liked it alot. Food was good. The only thing is that there are a lot of homeless people in the area so its uncomfortable.
I feel its way expensive, welcome to Manhattan.I feel the staff is not so welcoming they do what they have to do with very little costumer attention.Food is decent.
Very good food from all over. Diverse menu, good service. Open 24 hours - excellent for those late night munchies after heavy drinking.
✔Large portions good.✔Service was good.💲💲💲 Bit pricey for basic Boston Market style food..
Classic honest NYC diner. I always go there, cheap, informal, tasty. Huge menu. Huge dessert. Fast clean service.
Nice and cozy place to have brunch. The service is fast and food is good, you cant ask for more!
Delicious food, great service! Greek specialities are wonderful and the price is right. If youre looking for a good diner, this is the place
Sam recommends the Roast Beef
Nice and not expensive place!
About what you would expect from a diner, all the food was good but not spectacular. The waiter was ancient but very sweet :)
The service was good. The birgers were great.
Great omelette and comfortable seating. French toast was ok but overall it wasnt that expensive (especially considering the location)
My burger was perfect and the curly fries were crunchy
Roast turkey was very tasty and delicious stuffing. Service very good and fast. Nice comfortable atmosphere.

2022-05-02Was in NYC and was look for a good breakfast and I truly found it. The service was friendly and fast. The food came out hot and fresh. They serve the big link sausages, made the potatoes the way I like it. I had a veggie omelette and added cheddar cheese. It is much better than Johnny’s! So if your in the neighborhood and hungry for a good breakfast stop by Hollywood diner Angie a great meal!

2022-03-24Their buffalo wings were not buffalo wings, so I was very disappointed. The California chicken open sandwich was not good either. The pita bread was rough, the chicken barely seasoned, and just overall the flavour very poor.Lovely man serving got the rating to 2 stars, but the food I received was poor.

2022-08-13Exactly what you want and expect from a NY diner. Very relaxed and chill, a huge menu and everything exactly as you expect. It’s right next to the subway station so it’s super convenient to get to, right by all the large shops on 6th (container store, Michaels, tj maxx, bb&b, etc) so you can fuel up here before or after you shop. The Reuben was the best one I’ve had in the city so far— the corned beef melts in your mouth and the bread was perfectly toasted. AND served with a huge side of Russian dressing so you can indulge. The burger was also good and juicy and cooked perfectly as ordered. The fries were good and the only thing that could have made them better was if they were crinkle cut!! :) All in all great diner and can’t wait to go back.

2022-08-12I was amazed at the quality of food. I ordered the pancakes and breakfast burrito. Hands down one of the best spots to grab breakfast food.

2021-09-06It’s a busy place but they are very friendly and nice. And vegetables are very fresh and it’s very delicious. Their gyro was better than a greek restaurant that i’ve been before. 😅 and this place open 24/7 i think i went there like 12:00am-1:00am but they were open and there were people so it was very safe and nice.I recommend :)

2022-04-17Hot cocoa made with water a day powder. Wine not a full glass for over priced Merlot. Typical poorly upkept diner.

2021-11-06Nice place to dine in, we ordered two burgers, they weren’t impressive. Moreover, they forgot about my beverage. Place wasn’t busy.

2022-06-16I come here often and like them a lot. Today I got the fish and chips and it was unedible. I raised my concerns to the waiter who provided no sympathy.I will be sticking to waffles and eggs going forward.
