The food was AMAZING, and what really stood out was Richard’s service. He was beyond friendly, super helpful, and brought such a positive, welcoming energy that completely made the ambiance. You can tell he truly cares about guests having a great experience. Thank you, Richard, for going above and beyond. Food & service 10/10!
First and foremost from the walk-in we were greeted and seated right away, Our server Richard was beyond attentive and overall showed us a good Dining experience . From helping us order and choose what we want to pick To creating good conversations between the customers, It’s been a while since I’ve had a great server like him. The food was very good and it came out very quickly surprisingly considering I ordered a skirt steak Which was a perfect medium well !! The ambience and the aesthetic of the place really brings it all together Especially with the holidays approaching. Overall, my experience was a 10 out of 10 definitely will be returning and asking for Richard lol
This place was phenomenal. The place is beautifully decorated for Christmas. The food outstanding. A must have is their monster shakes. Our server Eric was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this place. Come on an empty stomach because the food is filling and delicious
Went to this diner 2 weeks ago with my friends and we had a great time. We all really liked the vibes of this place as well as the music. Now, the food I don’t think it was the best. We all ordered different things and agreed that the food was not that special. The home fried I ordered were bad. I only ended up eating the omelet. The Oreo waffles though, were really delicious. Service was okay.
We got there around 1pm on a Sunday as a 4 adults and 2 little ones group and we got a table within 10 min. The owner/manager (?) came to let us know about the time estimate several times while we were waiting which is nice. When we were seated, a server came immediately to take fill our glasses and get our drinks order. Drinks were served promptly. Our orders also came out in a timely manner and everything was excellent and fresh. Our party got smash burgers, a cobb salad, a chicken sandwich and two kiddies menus. Each plate was very generous, warm, freshly made. Kids plates are huge and I guess they could have shared one! The salad and its dressing were really great! We really enjoyed our meal and all staff were on top of everything despite having a very naughty toddler who misbehaved a lot by throwing things and making a mess. Everybody was helpful and friendly! Atmosphere was great, Xmas deco all over, nice background music. It was super busy and it had that old fashioned diner vibe that we were looking for. Pricing is fair for NYC and I made sure to tip 25% for great service. Overall an amazing experience!
The Servers inside Diner 24 are all really nice and welcoming. The entire staff was friendly each time I’ve dropped by there to eat. I hadn’t been there in almost a year until tonight but it was cool to see so many faces on the staff that I remembered. Brianna was the server I had on my most recent visit. I wish that I remembered the names of the other servers I’ve had here in past visits but they were all warm & attentive just like she was. The food here is excellent. I highly recommend the tomato soup as an appetizer and the Greek salad with grilled chicken is a huge portion that they bring out in a jar and mix it all up and then pour all the contents into a big bowl right in front of you. The menu has something for everybody. I’m happy that Manhattan has a spot like this
