Great neighborhood greasy spoon for classic american diner food. Great diner with great diner music. (Classic rock from the 70s 80s 90s). I ordered roast beef which comes with 3 sides: Manhattan clam chowder, a baked potato, and steamed broccoli. The roast beef is served well done with gravy on top. Overall decent.
Love their chili and chocolate pancakes
The 3 egg omelets from Wahi Diner have gotten me through many dark moments. Any time I’m down I order one and it arrives perfectly cooked within 30 minutes. Other favorites are the mozzarella sticks and their excellent pancakes. A really essential restaurant in this neighborhood.
Horrible service from Manny! So I order a sandwich and paid for it, sat down at the resturant, waited in the store for about 15-20 minutes to find out he gave away the food to a man who just came in because the person who took our order was wondering why we were still sitting there waiting for the food!! After a while I wanted my refund back ( i didn’t want to wait 20 more mins for my food all over again ) and he gave it to me, he THEN said the food is almost ready, and I responded I think it should be free because he made the mistake because he was on his phone talking to other friends not paying attention. He then said yes okay. I WAIT THERE FOR 10 minutes to be told what are we waiting for? And he acts confused and says what are you guys waiting for? I told him you said to wait there already making it and he said I already refunded you, there’s nothing coming! This is complete HORRIBLE SERVICE FROM MANNY WHO COMPLETELY did NOT provide any good customer service, did not care that we didn’t get our food and went back on his PHONE , did not apologize!! on top of that was RUDE!
Everything you look for in a no frills diner. Food was solid, staff was friendly and service fast.Had the he-man (french toast eggs and sausage). I dont eat pork so I subbed out for turkey alternatives which cost a couple dollars extra. Only minor quibble was that I expected larger pieces of french toast since it was listed as challah french toast but otherwise the food was good and the portion was actually just right so in the end I was happy 😂
Extensive menu and everything was delicious. Service was wonderful and fast. Environment was authentic and relaxing.
This was my first time coming here and I must say the menu is intense! Lol. (So many choices!!) But I ordered fried eggs with turkey sausage and a belgian waffle which came to about $12. It was okay.. Everything was cold and the waffle had no flavor and my eggs werent fried hard. But I might give them another chance just to be fair!
Food is so delicious and great service . Staff is amazing and wear mask . Great place .
Low quality over priced food this place gave me food poisoning off of a cheeseburger and chicken tenders were rubbery. Super low quality food or place must be filthy in the kitchen.
Big portions and friendly service. My only issue is that they charged me full price instead of the lunch special. Probably wont go back.
Great breakfast spot for fairly cheap and VERY fast diner food. 20% off for Columbia employees. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Good food and good service. The only downside was the heat was turned off and it was pretty cold in there.
Server was rude. I get it you’re busy but there’s no reason to take it out on the customer. I was a server for several years in high school and college so I totally get the server life. There was a mixup about the gravy. So I’m not even going to play he said she said about it. I wasn’t going to trip over the misunderstanding but the server was really rude about it. Super unnecessary..
Visiting the neighborhood, I was happy to find an old fashioned diner. Service was professional. Coffee was quickly served and the meal shortly thereafter. Your vaccination certification was required , so be prepared to present it.
This is a great diner in Washington Heights. The food is delicious with large portions.Delivery is fast and reliable.
Decent diner with decent pancakes. Would recommend the Greek yogurt, honey and and berries pancake.
The server never came back to ask if I wanted anything else and I had to ask for my check after he took away my plate.
Good diner in the Heights (well okay, its the only diner in the Heights). 24/7 with fair prices. Even their limited wine list is passable for a diner. My only complaint is that they still use plastic utensils, probably a hold-over from the pandemic, and they dont offer multi-grain toast or whole-wheat pancakes. Also no Guest WiFi, although its possible to pick-up WiFi from other networks in the area. My preferred servers are Ruby and Mira.
Ordered A burger medium well got it well done, The rice pudding was old like it’s been pre-packed for days. Also had special instructions not to ring the bell cause my child was asleep, after I called to make sure to give these instructions to the driver they never told him to don’t ring my buzzer! Terrible food and service!
Great local traditional Diner with friendly staff and friendly prices. What first caught my eye was the eggs starting from just $5 for a healthy hearty breakfast. Ultimately, I was swayed for the bagel with lox and it was incredibly fresh and very delicious! Good COVID measures in place. Would definitely recommend!
Last night I called while he Diner I asked for a pizza burger medium it came medium well. This morning I thought okay it wasnt the pizza burger I wanted so lets get the pizza burger I want this morning I ordered it around 11:30 It came it was also medium well I call wahi I speak to an Armando who says hes the manager and he tells me very clearly if you want to meet Ian Burger order it medium rare. I always understood that people in the kitchen were responsible for the doneness of the food that was presented or delivered and if those people know that that food needs to be at a certain degree arent they the ones that should know how to pull it off the grill before its over done and before residual heat does its thing?! To be treated like I am an enemy and to be told not to order from an institution because they cant get their degree of done this correct is an Abomination and I understand this institution is a Latino institution but I dont see them treating Latino people with this type of dismissiveness or lack of regard!
Very good live for the strawberry cheese cake, black forest cake, chocolate mousse... Oh Ive had burgers here as well great medium burger with french fries and onion rings (which were a side order so I got a nice amount) they were crunchy fries not so bad mmm ok Ill be back for more cake soon lemon ok bye
Great place to eat especially if you are a breakfast lover but they have more than just breakfast I recommend trying them out definitely. My favorite part is the breakfast 24 hours :-)
Great food and service. the breakfast platter is the best
Diner food in the Heights with a twist they have tostones. Food is yummy. I have had breakfast and lunch both were not disappointing.
THIS PLACE DISCRIMINATES AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE.Went to eat there I was asked for my vaccination card . Showed it to the waiter and 2 mins later 4 White guys come in sit at a booth near me and wasnt asked for theirs. When I approached the waiter about why he didnt ask none of the white gentleman he told me oh theyre regulars.THAT PEOPLE THERE ARE SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISGUSTING ITS SAD
My experience was not all that great waited almost an hr waiting for my order, mine you I was dining in. Costumers were being served before me after coming after me.So, I said okay , I went the next morning to order breakfast, this time to go. I get to my location and the food was not so great, I order corn beef hash with home fries and eggs and the corn be half was completely disgusting, I want be going back for awhile.
Great local diner. I can only review on delivery and honestly have no complaints. They actually read comments and try to fulfill all your requests as best as they can. Food is always on point. Plus I think ordering from them directly is better than from Grubhub or Uber eats since you dont have to pay the extra fees and you get a 5% discount everytime. Loyalty fans get a discount of 10 bucks every now and then. Thats a win win situation for me.
When you come in. You are asked for a vaccination card but no ID. HUH!Tables are always dirty.Food is okay
Great location. Great interiors. Food is meh.
Great breakfast menu. Good coffee.
Owner was very nasty. They asked for our vaccine card (which isnt in effect until Sept 13). When I asked for proof of his employees who would be handling or preparing my food, he could and would not provide the information.
Nice classic restaurant with all of the trappings of a classic diner.
The staff is very professional, kind & patient. They have indoor & outdoor seating. They have restrooms inside. I was in a party of 4 and we all ate pretty well for under $70. The servings are huge, several of us had to ask for doggie bags lol and continue eating our meals at home. Its right on the corner of 164st Broadway manhattan. Take the A train or the 1 train to 168st. Enjoy!!
Service was great, but the food was served cold.
That was open, portions were huge, much bigger than expected. The cappuccino was great and the spanokopita was substantial. Service was great, dining room is large enough for good seating inside.
Wonderful food. Got a burrito and salad and the people were super nice and prices fair and the meal just came proper it had a little salad and they put their all into it and it was wonderful. Went there after a rave was starving and glad I did
I usually come late night after work so I know its not busy but regardless this place has never disappointed. Quality food, good prices and the service is great. Ruby at the counter is super sweet and professional, Adrianna the host is always warm and welcoming, Armando the now day manager I miss and the rest of the staff who Im not familiar with their names since I moved away for a while are also on point and very helpful. Im a loyalist. If theyre consistently good, Im a customer for life. This diner is a gem in The Heights. Go Wahi!!
I ordered a chicken gyro and got a beef gyro. Sadly I didn’t have time to return so I threw it away.
Prices are reasonable. However, the food is alright. I ordered a fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. And guess what. I got food poisoning. Not cool. The waitress that serve us (she’s new) was not very attentive. But she is very nice. The other waitress (The young Dominican lady) I’m not a fan of because she always has an attitude every time I come to the diner. Don’t know what’s up with her.
Delicious food. Great personnel.
Its a diner where the food is solid, the prices are consistent with the area, the staff are wonderfully friendly and the place is clean. Ive come the last 2 times Ive been to the city and will continue to visit. If youre in Washington Heights, its well worth the visit.I would skip the chicken tenders, little overpriced for size and quality. But the breakfast is perfect.
The service is always good, almost everything on the menu is good. Its a much better place during breakfast and brunch than for dinner.
Food is pretty good, you wont be disappointed with what you get here by far. Ive tried most of the dishes here from the Georges burger to the meatloaf sandwich and even the soups and milkshakes. Everything is top notch here. Definitely go for the avgolemono (lemon chicken) soup. It is a staple here and you sure cannot miss it. I am knocking off a star purely because the service can be better. It is hit or miss. Sometimes, when you order delivery, they take forever to get to you. Sometimes, when you are in the store the waiter doesnt circle around to see if everything is okay or if you need a refill on your beverage. One time, it took me almost 20 minutes after my meal to get the check.In sum, the food is delicious but service can be better.
Neighborhood staple! Always great food and quick service.
Wahi is a billion times better than iHop you can really Taste the freshness in the food makes me feel like it is a home cook meal and the size of the platters are huge I’m a big dude 6”6 300 lbs and I can never eat the whole thing.
It’s a neighborhood go to spot. I usually order or go here for breakfast. It’s your typical diner, greasy food, but I love their breakfast egg platters (mainly what I go for).Now, what I detest about this place are their employees. Wow they’re just bad. Rude hostesses, careless waiters and waitresses, inattentive staff. I’ve honestly stopped ordering from here and visiting as often because of this reason. There have been numerous complaints to management and I’m shocked when I still see the same staff there.Anyway, it’s a convenient place to grab a bite when you’re hungry, or when you want a quick bite or meal.
Excellent place to sit down comfortably with friends. The food when in comparison to its price is superb! It is made more affordable that some meals can easily fill 2 adults. It only loses stars because, depending on the waiter you get, you will be sitting a while waiting for the check or to even place an order. If youre in the neighborhood dont think twice, stop on in!
Came in last night for the first time. Everything couldnt have been better. Food was amazing, staff was wonderful. My server (I neglected to get his name) was very accommodating and courteous. Cant wait to come back. Be sure to try the cheesecake. By far the best Ive ever had.
My go to diner in the neighborhood
Love coming here for the delicious omelets!!
Love the food, always fast delivery. Just PLEASE train you phone receptionist better. She has hung up my calls or rejected my order because the kitchen is busy. That has never happened before. Regardless, food is good.
Good food, good service, bomb flavour
Great food and friendly service. Did not have to wait long for my take out. will go there again.
Wahi is everything you want in a local diner. Food, service, and prices are all very good. We order pickup from here at least once a week — don’t know what we would do without it. :)
This used to be a good place to have a nice breakfast or lunch for me. I usually go here with family and the service is usually very good.Today it was the complete opposite. They have a new waitress that sits 2 people at the big booths and leaves all the small tables empty. So when my family of 5 walked in we were told there was a wait.Imagine seeing half a diner open and being told there is a wait to be seated. It blew our minds. The waitress was also generally unpleasant.
Delicious food, it was sooooo good! I got the waffles with walnuts and bananas, and a side of bacon, sausage, and eggs. Loved it!
GREAT FOOD & Service! Give us a wonderful morning!
Simply asked Armando what he recommends and for the life of him he couldn’t answer the question. He kept asking me what I wanted. I clearly didn’t know even though I can read a menu. I just wanted to know the server’s recommendation which is a common phenomenon. Am I wrong for him not being able to answer my question and hanging up on me ? I’ve been down the block since I was born, 28years ago. Do I deserve this type of service after all these Loyal years, shesh it just takes one phone call to be their worst enemy ?
Recently moved into the neighborhood and started ordering from here. Overall its standard diner food. Some things on the menu are very good while others are just okay. Ive tasted better fare at other diners but this one is okay. The big plus is that they deliver 24/7 and that is great. Last nite i ordered at 2 in the morning and got my food. Although i was overcharged on a chicken sandwich and egg platter, should of been 18 bucks but the guy on the phone said 25, didnt raise a stink about it. Doesnt happen often but it just depends whos on the phone i guess. Will continue to order only late nites for those cravings. Perhaps i will change my rating down the road as i taste more from their menu...
The service was slow. And the food was low quality. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and they were low quality. The meatballs were probably frozen or from a can, because I couldnt taste the meat. It was just like a ball of mush. The sauce didnt taste like tomato sauce but some sort of sweet paste on it. Not good.
The food is good. One of the staff was rude. I was placing a order over the phone. I went to the diner to wait for the manager to come in. Since then it has been better. Plenty of space. Its 24hrs so thats convenient. And its also in a good location.
My favorite diner not only they open all the time but the food is so good specially their buttermilk pancakes😍 if you are looking for late spot or early morning spot to eat come to this diner you won’t regret it. The only thing didn’t like how they made my homemade fries other than that everything else was really good.
A Washington Heights institution, a full, tasty menu, good for groups both large and small. A lively atmosphere with reasonable prices, and catering as well.
Nice diner. Have a little of everything that I have eaten there has been great quality, and very generous amounts. Prices are more than fair. Employees are very pleasant. Service is not slow even when it is packed. It being packed almost every day at lunch time tells me its too notch.
Being someone who likes homemade corned beef hash as well as the canned slop, I dont consider myself to have high expectations. But the stuff served here was disgusting. My wife said the food was great the first time she went but this time she also was not liking her food and all she ordered was eggs and sausage.
This is the closest diner to the NY Presybetarian hospital. My first time coming here was to grab my mother a soup while she was in the ER. The soup was super salty and their mash potatoes were equally as bad. The only thing she could have was their apple juice. I tried the soup and mash potatoes myself and I def couldnt finish any of it. I ordered myself some chicken tenders and they still tasted a bit frozen.My second visit was for breakfast with my boyfriend. I got a basic bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll from here and they managed to mess that up. The eggs and bacon were super dry so the sandwich was practically tasteless. This is def a place u go to at 2 am out of desperation and not because you love it here.
Ordered from here for the first time this morning, delicious iced coffee! The egg and home fries were also really good, but it’s the coffee that will make or break a relationship for me ;)
WOW! Pot roast dinner for under $15 and SUPER DELICIOUS. I love this place and have come numerous times when visiting Columbia Presbyterian. All the lunch specials are delicious and a great value
Food is great, customer service is excellent and very relaxing atmosphere.
Food is decent. Service is Mediocre. Prices are moderate. This is a solid place to consistently get your fill when in necessity. I have never been disappointed but have never been blown away by this spot either. I appreciate that it is open 24 hours. You will walk away satisfied full and content but you will not be in a big hurry to come back. However You will find yourself thinking “hey I’ll grab a bite at WaHi while I’m up in this neighborhood”.
Outstanding as usual. Around my place theres lots of restaurants but nothing like this cozy, friendly, place. I love it. Their breakfast is amazing.
Not bad but not exactly what I was looking for
Great food! Fun local diner. MASSIVE MENU. Honestly they don’t need to offer so much, but hey there’s something to make anyone happy. Very efficient quick kitchen. 24hours huge +++
The guy on the phone was extremely rude, when got the food it was cold and they double charged my debit card. When I called to get this sorted out he was a pain and exclaimed, it was not possible. Yet there it was clear as day, had to get a bank statement to prove it. They still did not return my money, but gave me store credit.Please approach this restaurant with caution it seems they have very loose management and poor quality control.
This is my second time here. I had the lunch special, roasted chicken with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was about a 35 minute wait for the dish. The potatoes were ok. The broccoli was supposedly steamed but was not fully cooked. The chicken was ok as well, nothing special. They somehow had pasta/spaghetti in the broccoli. I brought it to the owners attention. He was kind enough to give me a discount but I still left a bit disappointed. Dont think Ill be returning.
Fast service but our server was clearly overwhelmed. I had pancakes which were huge and pretty good. Bacon was a bit disappointing. Coffee kept coming though which was nice.
Classic diner with traditional and Dominican fare at the right price, and the waitresses are a sweet bunch.
The food is very good and service, the only very bad issue is the night time supervisor! he talks to the staff as if they were slaves from midevil times. And HE should be removed , thats a bad experience when you eat there and watch that animal talk to other humans like that. the older man with the glasses.! Other wise the food is good.
Typical diner food for cheap. Breakfast specials. Zero bells and whistles. Open 24 hours. Food quality reflects the cheap prices but thats fine if youre just out for something to grab.
Food isn’t bad, servers are nice, not really the most sanitary diner with a big fruit fly problem. But if you’re on a late night out it’s not a bad idea!!
Hands down this is the best diner I have ever eaten in. The environment is great, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly. If you are thinking of going to an IHOP please dont. support your local businesses and visit this place, my only recommendation is to have fresh squeezed juice.Deliciousness: 5/5Friendliness: 5/5Freshness in juice: 1/5Location: 5/5Pancakes: DaBombMy dish: lumberjack special
Every single meal at this diner has been great. Doesnt matter what time or if its breakfast lunch or dinner.
Nice people, great service and food
I always enjoy a good lumberjack special . I feel welcomed and the food is amazingly good. Sometimes rush hours are a bit of a nuisance but thats just how great the atmosphere is at this diner, customers just love the place as do I.
Excellent place to eat. They have well cooked, delisious food. The place is mostly kept clean. The waitresses are really nice. The food is brought to you in under 5 minutes, so no waiting here! :)
My all time FAVORITE dinner. The service is good and honestly to the T. Every single time I go I leave extremely happy. They’re the best at what they do and the food is great! I highly recommend.
Place was great back in the day. Now its just a late night food place like all else doesnt stand out. And the servers, man, dont make me tell you, they can care less about getting your order right.
Love Dominican breakfast - too much food and lots fat but yolo. Service can be slow on weekends. If you are alone, seat at the bar, much quicker service.
So official. Either eating there or delivery everything is always good and the whole staff is awesome.
We come here for breakfast mostly. Open 24hrs and right across from the hospital. The prices might seem a little high but you get a lot of food, easily two full meals most of the time. Staff is nice and always helpful. Pay on your way out.
This is true diner food. It feeds my soul. I love the BLT with fries. I orders constantly from them. Yummy in my tummy. I also love the pancakes, pouched eggs and teas!
Great food and service
The T-bone steak is really good.
Convenience (open 24/7) is the only good thing here. However, I experience very bland, depressing food here the few times Ive sat in. Waiters were never very attentive so they would get the orders just a bit off. But the ladies took care of us were polite. I noted in my last attempt, my french toast was extra yolky yet had no actual flavor? Just burnt bread soaked in way too many egg yolk...and there was a potato stuck to it. We figured it was my friends potato which somehow got on to my plate...eh.If I ever do come here again, i must expect very low, low to the bottom of anything from this place at this point. My other friend seems to really dig this place, i believe she will insist in fact that we eat here. Dont understand how people can enjoy their food...I did like the previous food before the place was renovated. And am glad to see such a variety of locals and hospital employees sitting together. But i can tell the kitchen is way too strained to pull anything, even basic, together.Home potatoes are the only thing I have enjoyed here.BTW chicken was DRY in lemon chicken soup. wth??
Called on Friday evening for a delivery, the lady taking phone orders should really learn how to speak to customers.No hello , No thank you and a very cold attitude during all the call like i am bothering her and asking for a favor.I usually don’t waist time writting reviews but this is not the first Friday that I am calling for a delivery and get the same attitude!
The wait staff super nice chatted with waiter from Colmbia. The food is.....eh. This wonderdul lady paid for a dinner that a family was in trouble for as their credit card was messed up lesson check that all is well before. This is, well, the hood. But its safe, its cool and so are the people. 😀🌟💀💥🐶💃
Great breakfast nicely portioned & reasonably affordableWill definitely go back!
Food is good, great service. Its large enough and tables are not on top of each other. The staff are very friendly, and besides food, staff is important.
Decent place, quick service, ok food.
Great diner vibes, food always is good and fresh
Great omelettes and coffee and jam and buttered toasts. Like coming herr after working late and handing out with friend and didnt have time to.have diner. Its like my super early dinner meets breakfast like brunch.
Burgers are flamed kissed and awesome. Georges club is perfect with.
Ate here 3 times within 24 hours while spending time at NYP. Had the rice pudding, spanakopita plate and the number 8 breakfast. Great value and good food for dine in or to go. Enjoyed the coffee too.
The fish and chips are great!! It comes with a soup also and i got the lentil soup it was outstanding. Im new to new york and ran across this place while on a stroll.
Crazy Annies over this dump. Crustless cheese cake. And Budget Tex-mex dogs.
Food has always been what I asked for, but service really depends on the server. Sometimes, it takes over half an hour after putting in the order, sometimes it takes half as long. Either way, servers have been friendly and prices are reasonable.
Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Every food Ive had was amazing and filling. You should visit this establishment asap.
Decent place to grab a bite. Its about the only place in the area to sit down comfortably as a family as it has a large dining room with plenty of seating. Portions are large and prices fair for the area.
What a delightful surprise, an American breakfast con los tres golpes
Great food. Great service. Mixed crowd, family, friends etc.. Saturday & Sunday mornings have real diner vibe. Weekday evenings are nice and relaxing after work.
Ordered tacos and specifically wrote not to put jalapeños also the order says it comes with chips. got the order and guess what... it had jalapeños and no chips.I called to explain the situation and all I got was nasty attitude by a person in the back ground and the girl was dismissive and did not care when I was trying to explain the situation.This is the second time ordering almost $40.00 dollars of food and getting the worst service ever. First time I ordered was the same way, tried it a second time to give them a second chance but apperantly they dont care.Will never buy from them again and will never recommend to anyone.
Good dinner. Giant iced coffee. Great service.
They got my order wrong call back made the guy who answered the phone made it a little difficult thank god the manager was there and was able to help me and then called back to update my address cause they got it wrong I was able to give him address but hung up before taking my apt number
Compliments to the chef, food is tasty, cooked with love and reasonably priced.
Great host and waiter! The Waffle and Fried Chicken were good!
Breakfast lunch is the best
Sorry, but food quality has declined. Food orders are incorrectly sent to the table. Prices HAS DOUBLED since the reopening and the quality doesnt support it. The wait staff is friendly, but doesnt pay attention that the food prepared is incorrect from the order and brings it to table anyway.
Terrible service the Waiter got mad at us because we splitted out Bills and never brought us the food time. You better improve your customer srv. Its a bummer
Good, solid fare at a fair price. Open 24/7, its been my go-to in the Heights when I cant make up my mind - Spanish? Dominican? Chinese? Barbeque? They havent disappointed yet.
The service here is mediocre just like the food. The managers name is Nicholas and hes very rude. If your order is wrong or if you arent pleased with the service he is not going to accommodate you at all, he aggressively tried to argue with us. I would not waste my time or money in this establishment.
Good food. Well priced. Fast service. What a diner is supposed to be. I prefer Vicky’s but WaHi is acceptable when the other is packed.
Good food, but the service sucks. They dont really attend to you. They spend more time talking
Good place, but the food can vary depending on the day. Sometimes they can get it right an others you might have to send it back because it is not well cooked or still partially frozen. Ive never had an issue with service or anything else.
Interesting place. Very confusing menu even for the own staff. Really good soup. Rice and beens are good but the rest of it you really need to know what you are ordering. Big help if you speak Spanish
The staff was friendly and the portions are big, the Chicken Francese is perfect because you will have left overs for the next day. Great for the late night crowd.
This my childhood dinner my dad used to takes there wen it was named Georgies & now it has expanded into a bigger & better dinner w lots of variation & choices in food. It is open 24hrs. To everyones convience! So pass by & enjoy a gud meal!
Perfect eggs, home fries and toast. Generous coffee refills. Servers are friendly and attentive. Pleasant to sit in. Wahi Diner is an oasis in Washington Heights
Worst customer service ever!I dont see how they could make money on delivery based on how they degrade there customers ever! the guy who takes the order is extremely tempremental like he hates his job yelled at me because I repeated my address he read it back to me wrong and my phone number wrong would you order from someone who sounds like they could spit in your food and hates there job?I ate there before I walked in the food was ok nothing special I like the fact its 24 hrs but customer service is overwhelmingly horrible the guy actually scared me he sound very off! i never had someone talk to me like that while I was giving information about what address to deliver at eventually someone will report them to the better business bureau if thats the way they conduct business.
Food is good and price is good. It is just the service. You wait too long to get your order taken and they are not too friendly.
WAHI dinner (formerly Georges coffee shop), just reopened after a MAJOR face lift. I had the patty melt, it absolutely rocked. For a little $ you get an amazing sandwich and mountain of string fries.This place has the makings of a classic New York diner that will serve a mean lunch, pancakes at 4 am after a crazy night, and the eggs that will cure the ensuing hangover.Pro Tip: Sneak away from Columbia medical for a cheap, quick lunch at a diner that feels like a diner should feel.
The food is really good but the waitress is very nasty, she has an attitude with the costumers. I don’t think I would be back because the service is very bad ! No coming back
I order tye chicken club sandwich it was not the best but it was ok,, the fries were delicious. Place was clean the staff very friendly and professional. I would go back
Really good service. At least four employees checked to make sure our table was okay. Food was pretty good. The truffles are pretty awesome.
Refused to cancel an online order exactly two minutes after it was placed. Said they could cancel but would not issue a refund. We were two minutes into a 90 minute wait.
They have the best french fries . . . try them, youll be glad you did!!
Spent 130.00 and the food was horrible. The only good item was the plain cheesecake!
Its alright. Food doesnt impress, service is fine, prices arent great. Its nice that its open late, but thats the only reason Ive been here more than once.
I had like 2 or 3 months without being here. I used to come here and enjoy the great food and the polite people that work here , but i think since the attention that we receive today, we are not coming back again just because a lady that serve in there now 🙏🏽 ✌🏽
Breakfast is great at this place. Its spacious so you can be with the whole family. The waiting time sometimes are long but overall they are good.
Great spot, hot, fast fresh food... Seems to be a neighborhood favorite! Dominican fried cheese was so good, and not expensive.
It was okay. We went there twice, first time one of the pancakes was raw inside and the second time the wrong order was given and there was confusion about if that was actually our order and they made my sister pay for the real order which she had to take to go.
Friendly, prompt service. Pretty good food. Not crowded at dinner time on a Friday night.
Service was great , I had the Silver Dollar Pancakes w/Bacon & my friend had the French toast, Both meals Excellent, Would Recommend the Diner!!
Very nice.. staff is pleasant and professional.
Nice breakfast/ Delicious food price
Great diner. Good food. Nice atmosphere, even if a bit too brightly lit. Quick delivery service, and no language barriers. Thanks!
I love this place me and my husband come here for breakfast all the time. The amount of food is amazing and they are not pricey and pleasant
A gem in Washington Heights. Loved the pancakes and the corned beef hash wasnt half bad either. If you find yourself uptown and with a hangover this place will cure all.
Food is great. Old school burgers, cooked the way you want it... the way its supposed to be..
Amazing place, good food and reasonable prices. We loved everything we had so much that we went back a few days later to have breakfast.
Something about this place makes me cringe. The food was good enough and the prices didnt break the bank. Finally its the only Diner in the area.
Great local spot. Fairly priced, big portions, neat, friendly and delicious. What more could you ask for?
Burgers arent very good.Meatloaf isnt made correctly.Soup of the day is usually good.Its OK for a quick bite and run
The Best place for breakfast
The food is awesome and the staff is very accommodating. Its the must-eat place when youre at the hospital like we were.
Service and food was great
Super cheap breakfast before 11am. Open 24 hours with great service. Im a fan of the french toast with strawberries
The service and food were delicious. It was a great way to kick off my morning.
They have such a wide variety of food. Staff very nice. Priced well.
Interesting breakfast spot. The omly kne i experienced opened so late and early. Its actually 24hrs. Great price.
The Waiters act like they dont want to be there. The customer service is not the best. Im big on customer service especially if Im going to sit down and enjoy a meal.
Local diner that serves diner quality food. Nothing fancy, just solid good food. Service is always attentive and quick. Only diner near the hospital.
Food is ALWAYS cold. This place got bad after it became Wahi. Before the food was great!!!
Very friendly staff and finally found a good triple decker sandwich. Place it’s clean and nice space I will return again.
Reliable diner food. I get exactly what I order, every time I call for delivery. Theyre efficient and my food is always delivered faster than expected.
Worst roast beef sandwich . at my last visit , soup not good at all . but its not all ways the case.
The food was average and the service was average. Overall it was okay, could have been friendlier and food could have been better for the price
Food was ok.... regular diner. Nothing crazy
Great food and service. Everything fresh
Quality diner food, fast service. A block away from Columbia Presbyterian, it is very convenient for ordering take-out for yourself or patients at the hospital.
Perfect spot for breakfast. Pretty much the only place to sit, relax, and eat a full breakfast. Portions are generous!
I got an oatmeal and it tasted like it came from the hospital. Super bland. No sugar at all. The butter-roll was not toasted as I told them to. Do not recomment at all
Never disappointed with this place. Good portions, friendly staff and cozy. Food is great.
No coffee refills
Not great. Only fresh food is the eggs. The rest of the food is frozen. French fries are frozen. Hamburgers not fresh they are frozen. Wilted salad.
Good food at a reasonable price. Service is great!
The person taking orders for delivery’s barely listens to you and after the hr of delivery the order comes wrong and cold. Who confuses a cream cheese bagel with a butter bagel. I wanted cream cheese !
Was very good establishment. Now the food is not as good and dirty and full of flies. Also dirty bathroom.
I order breakfast here everyday.Once it first opened.Great customer service.
Lost a customer because I’m waiting 2 hours for a 75$ delivery and 20$ tip. SMH. Good luck
Its great to a diner in the neighborhood. The service is slow and the food is hit or miss.
A corner store and easily seen. They offer a good variety of selections for breakfast, which I enjoy having there.
I love this new pops and moms dinner the waiters are very friendly( Nancy) and place is clean .The food is awesome the only suggestion Ill give is the homefrieds should have green peppers onions .great place .prices awesome.
Came after midnight. Waiter with greasy hair and glasses was being a complete ass throughout our stay. Dude got annoyed when we asked for drinks, hello, we are paying for them, not like we drinking for free. He only takes order clockwise, if the person to his left wasnt ready, hed literally make everyone at the table wait.
Booth needs to be changed. No cushion when I sat...bare wood..so annoyed. Food was ok....Service was good.
Besides for the waitress being too busy on her phone to service me... the food is wonderful and nostalgic to my childhood
Awesome service food arrived at a good time presentation was also good just great food
Family favorite! Go there once a week. Good burgers! Big plates. Good service!

2022-07-08This is the best place for breakfast. We had pancakes, omelette, homemade salad which was so good. Everything was fresh and delicious. We went there on busy hour so the store was busy and they took little longer to bring our food. But they keep checking if we need something. I saw lots of flies roaming around table which they should take care of . I would recommend everyone to visit this place.

2021-09-09Good food and service. The staff wore masks and there are partitions between each table. They also use disposable cups and utensils which might bother some, but it was perfectly fine for us.

2021-08-08Really surprised to find this diamond in the rough. Under a permanent structure of scaffolding, and certainly not what I would call an enticing decor, the food and service at this diner was especially good. I was looking for a good place to sit while waiting for someone at the dental surgery clinic next door. The table cubicles were strewn in a most un feng shui fashion, seats ripped and needing repair, I was desperate and sat. The waitress was pleasant and accommodating. I actually got skim milk for coffee, the toast was unbuttered, the eggs hot and runny and best of all the home fries were crispy and flavorful. I’ve been so used to horrible undercooked home fries I’d forgotten they weren’t supposed to be that way. When finished I confessed why I was lingering and she made me even more welcome with an invitation to sit as long as I would like. I sat and watched NY1 for a while until summoned next door. I will be back.

2021-08-12I wish they would go back to regular utensils, drinking glasses, and coffee cups. I find it so wasteful. The food is fine but try cutting bacon with a plastic fork. By the time I get it all cut the food has cooled.

2022-05-08This place may be open 24 hours for takeout or delivery, but not for what matters the most: Dining in, and the hours for dining in are not posted anywhere, not even on their website. You have to find out on your own in person, and if you get there a little late in the evening and wont settle for less than dining in, then you have to leave with an empty stomach to go somewhere else. Once I had to walk about a mile north to an IHOP just to eat in. As much as I otherwise like the place, I strongly do not recommend it as a late-night option if you dont want to eat at home.

2022-05-09Waited close to an hour for a table & then had to wait another 15-20 minutes to get some menus. Food for decent but not worth the price in my opinion. All & all Ive been to better places in the area.

2022-03-10My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch or early dinner. Customer service was great. The place is clean and they have paper menus so disposable. The food was amazing. I had the meatloaf. As good as my own. Real potatoes for the mashed potatoes. the vegetable soup was nice too.Try the chilli. Its worth it. It reheats really well too.

2018-12-30Service wasn’t bad. The staff could be a little friendlier, but I never felt unwelcome. Pictured is the He-Man Special. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. I particularly liked the challah French toast. It never tasted dry.I’ve also ordered take-out from the Diner and the food was great then. This is a good stop for breakfast or if you’re in need of a place to eat near the New York Presbyterian Hospital.

2017-10-20This is a legit New York City diner experience. There aren’t that many of these left, and I’m so glad that WaHi Diner has survived because it’s SO GOOD.I had their lumberjack breakfast. Their service was fast and the place was nice. The food was delicious. It was a great choice for a nice classic breakfast. Definitely recommend it.
