Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We have always loved this diner. It’s not inexpensive but it always has been unique. Not your typical NYC diner at all…Breakfast dishes were always accompanied by a side of fried polenta bits with a delicious marina sauce. BUT NO LONGER! They changed the menu...this week! Now it’s the same old home fries served at every other diner. No more polenta. And my avocado toast was not beautifully served as before with poached eggs and a generous sprinkling of feta cheese. Instead, there were fried eggs dumped unceremoniously on top of the toast and the offending home fries. The waiter did replace the fried eggs with poached, and the staff seemed disappointed and perplexed about the menu change. I hope they change it back. Something special has been lost.More

Excellent dinner at this nice diner. We had a burger which was pricey as is the pastrami Ruben but both sandwiches were well worth the stop. Their cheese cake is extremely large and well with the price. Enjoy a good meal here.

Good food, great service, and delicious guacamole. Only order the Hot Apple Toddy if you’re a fan of fireball or strong apple-flavoured alcohols.

We ‘settled’ for this place on our first night in NYC as it was one of the nearest eateries to our accommodation and we were jaded and hungry from a loooong journey. As it turned out, it was the best meal of our trip and...really hit the spot! Great, authentic food, buzzy atmosphere and welcoming staff. I could easily have eaten here again. Recommended.More

They actually have time to speak to you, vompared to other local places that just dhove...you yo a rable take your order and thats it it. Not at Brooklyn Diner they actually seem to genuinely care how your day is and make an effort to speak to you. Your Waitresses are such an asset to you, look after thoses gems.More

We wanted to try a typical American Diner. This diner looks the part. To be honest, I don’t really know what a typical American diner is like but I loved this place, and so did my family. We were welcomed warmly for brunch and settled...into a booth. The menu was just fantastic but I settled for the burrito which was sublime. Kids went for burgers (of course they did!) and my good lady went for French toast. Every meal on the table was just brilliant. When we’re back in NYC, I’m headed straight back here. Thanks guys!More

We ordered lunch and it took so long for the food to arrive that it was cold and we had to send it back. We ordered a cheeseburger without the bun due to a gluten free diet and it came with a bun. We told...the waiter we needed it without the bun and he took it back and 30 seconds later he returned with a “fresh” burger, “freshly cooked without the bun”. My wife is still waiting for her ginger ale.More

When we came to NYC, we wanted to stop somewhere that had a combination of many of the NYC comfort foods that we were craving. We just walked in and were seated, but it is busy and you may need to wait. Try to come...off peak. Service: Efficient and professional. Food: Everything from giant hot dogs, chicken pot pie, pastrami sandwiches, and matzah soup (come early for this) and many other items (burgers, hot sandwiches, tacos and more). All seem to be huge in size. Prices: Reasonable for what you get. Atmosphere: Looks like a traditional diner inside and out. Overall: We were satisfied with our visit and thought it had good value and the meals were tasty and reasonably priced. We would go back.More

Seriously, if you're concerned about the price of a corn beef sandwich, you may want to choose another destination besides NYC.
