    The corned beef sandwich was just plain blah, the bread was soggy and the meat was sliced too thick. However the French fries were incredibly delicious

    I was very impressed by the service and the food. The booths are tight if you get seated in one which is my only complaint, I felt the table was like up against my chest the whole time and it made moving around to help my children eat a little difficult, but due to how great the service was, how fast the food came out, and how delicious it was, we would absolutely go back and I highly recommend it! We went to breakfast on our way to the Central Park Zoo and it was the perfect location!

    On every visit to NYC 5 friends from Oregon, Texas, Tennessee and Connecticut enjoy their last breakfast together at Carnegie Diner. Menu has many choices, food is delicious, hustle and bustle of the restaurant is fun, and the price is right. In November we plan to have dinner there one night before theater.

    The customer service was incredible. The food was great, orange juice, French toast and everything we ordered was delicious. It’s super crowded but they move fast. I would recommend going

    Ate breakfast earlier in the day, so it had to be good enough for our group to return for a late lunch (convenient to hotel). Everyone's food was good, again, massive portions. Several took food home. Only down-side was our server, who seemed a bit annoyed even before we became remotely annoying. Wasn't very pleasant, probably just having a bad day. Non-stop tourists are probably a pain to deal with.

    Had to fight thru a group of people waiting to be seated for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Most didn't want to hear our group had a reservation. Inside, the host/greeter was a bit rude telling myself and another guest who indicated they were checking in for a reservation that we had to prove it. Produced a printed confirmation and had my phone available. Entire group was fortunate to be seated together, which we weren't expecting- thank you for that. Portions were unbelievable (large), wish I hadn't eaten the nite before. Food was good all around, no one from our party had any complaints. Server was attentive, friendly and patient with us. All in all, a good experience overall because we returned for a late lunch later the same day due to the convenient location.

    Had reservations and host argued that we were not on list. Had to show the email confirmation and then was put in a line to wait on a table. Food was okay, service was good, food came quick. Server spilled beer on my 10 year old and cleaned up mess on floor but didn’t offer any extra napkins to wipe from booth or off my child. Probably wouldn’t go back when visiting the city.
