The staff was very friendly and the food was great! The bacon was the best I’ve ever had at a diner. The portion sizes are large. It is very busy here at breakfast time. We had a reservation and still had to wait for a few minutes because t...

Highly recommend! Went to a show at Lincoln Center and this is in close proximity. Great food, friendly staff, not overpriced.

My friends and I love Carnegie diner! We came here and I got appetizers, the onion rings were so crispy and fresh. Our server, Christiana, was the kindest ever and even charged my friend’s phone. Thank you, Carnegie diner!!

The Pastrami sandwich was stacked high and the eggs were perfectly runny. Expect a wait for service during peak hours

The best breakfast we had in Manhattan! The avocado toast was the best I’ve ever had - so fresh and the onions and cilantro really made it sing! My daughter had the pancakes and pretty much everything there looked good. It was packed but th...

Made a 6:15 reservation. Showed up at 6:15 and asked for our table. The line of walk-ins was out the door and the host said “it’ll be a minute.” I asked what a minute meant, and he said “we have to get through the list first, its probably 2...

Seating could feel cramped with your neighbors but the food was good!

Horrible experience don’t recommend at all. After waiting for 1 hour to be seated, they give a seat at the end with very narrow space. The seats are too narrow and tables are side to side with each other. You eat with someone you don’t know...

Messed up our orders 2x. Manager couldn’t care less as he was focused on seating more tables rather than take care of the ones seated. Place was loud & crowded with little room to even take off your coat. Much better places within walking d...

It’s ok. Good portions, but it’s pretty expensive.
