Came here a little over a week ago and it’s such a cute spot. The architecture from outside is inviting and the inside is upscale cozy. All the staff were extremely helpful and our waitress was great! I had the steak and eggs (a go too for me when it comes to breakfast) and the ingredients are top notch for the same price you’d get in other diners in the city. Highly highly recommend.

Super cute and modern diner with great service and food! No reservation needed. Menu is slightly limited but still has much to offer, not the most affordable but consistent with other restaurants in the area. Plus, great stop for anyone who loves Home Alone!

Empire Diner is a modern take on a classic NYC diner. The menu has a nice mix of comfort food staples and more updated dishes, so it works whether you want something familiar or a bit different. Prices felt okay for the area, and most importantly, everything I had was genuinely delicious. Great spot for an easy, satisfying meal with that diner vibe, just a little more polished.

Very pleased with the service and the food!!! My husband and I absolutely loved the breakfast. The Rye pancakes and the waffle are 10/10!! The staff were so fun and friendly and the food came out quick. The Rose Margarita was insane. The drink was beautiful and really good. I had to go back and get another one because it was delicious. My husband and I will definitely be back when we visit NY again.

I’ve seen Empire Diner for a long while now, but never have gone in until today. I normally don’t always give 5 star reviews, but the food was SO DELICIOUS! 😍 The staff were really friendly as well. My date and I got a few things on our table and everything was done to its best. Go ahead and get that Mac & cheese as your brunch, lunch or dinner choice. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT 🤤 Its crispy exterior gives you a lovey bite with every fork full. The eggs Benedict was a delight with a side of potatoes that I NEED a bowl of! I’ll be back for more bites, but you should visit too! Also, the atmosphere is so cozy ☺️
