★★★★★ 5.0 Beach Bound · Dec 2025

So we decided to go here because we had a couple of hours to kill before heading to airport. We landed on this one due to the time of night 130am and reviews. This place delivered. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the cheeseburger club with sweet potatoe fries. It was delicious that burger 🍔 had some seasoning. Thank you Chef. Those fries did not taste like frozen fries either. I ordered a Corona 🍺 and it was ice cold. We appreciated the smile from the server as we are sure she had a long day. This diner looked like ones featured on The Godfather of Harlem. This took me back in time when diners were the go to. i know one thing when we head to Newark Airport in the future, we will stop here to eat before going to airport and paying for medicore food that is over priced. There is parking.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Carter Denny · Dec 2025

Very large menu with lots of option. The food was good and fast. I ordered a chocolate peanut butter milkshake and they did not skimp on the peanut butter like most places do. The famous bacon cheeseburger was just an average burger in my opinion. It was good but nothing special.

There is an extensive menu here. The food is plentiful and very good. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Highly recommend if looking for comfort food and a wide selection to choose from.

I absolutely loved this diner. This was right down the street from my hotel so it was an easy walk. Both times they were busy but I was seated quickly and my order was taken right away. The food was excellent! I had the Nutella waffle with bananas the first time and the 2x2 lumberjack with pancakes the second time. The food was quick to come out and the wait staff was attentive. Next time I come to New York I will make sure to take others here as well.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joe · Aug 2025

During a visit to New York City, we decided to experience breakfast at the Skylight Diner. The first thing that struck me was how clean and bright the space was, embodying that nostalgic, old-fashioned diner feel that we were hoping for. The menu is impressively extensive, offering a wide range of options, though I must admit I found it a bit on the pricey side for a diner. The food, when it arrived, was quite good and satisfying, delivering on the hearty breakfast we were craving. However, the service left much to be desired. It took about 10 to 15 minutes before anyone came over to take our order and that was only after we asked for assistance. After our initial order was taken, we never saw our server again, and we were only served our first cup of coffee without any refills offered.
