Stopped off here for a quick lunch. Friendly staff, quick and efficient service and the best hot chocolate I have probably ever had.<br>Really nice food and would come back here if I were to return to NYC.<br>I would say it is a tiny bit cramped and not necessarily the most accessible place if you had a wheelchair or needed room to get about but it did have a nice vibe in there.

Response from the owner

Thank you for the kind words Jason we hope to see you soon

It is a place to consider if other places are 40min waiting.<br>I was starving and all places were filled. I wanted to simply enjoy a warm simple meal. This place is a hole in the wall. But i am glad i came here.<br>Breakfast all day menu, burgers, dinner meals, a variety to help fill that tummy.<br>I got their meatloaf with side of fries and spinach.<br>Its a massive volume for a fraction of the price. Fries were crispy n soft inside. Feel free to add flavor to spinach.<br>Very attentive service and bang for the buck.<br>I will always appreciate places like here

A classic New York diner. Over abundant Greek salad. 16 oz burger, cooked to perfection. Fries crispy but not oily. Sauteed broccoli with just the right amount of oil and char. Crispy pickles and tangy coleslaw. We didn't place the largest order, but our server was super attentive and made us feel important. Places like the Astro but becoming fewer and further between. Go and have a good meal and go soon.

Peak New York diner vibes - it’s a small space but service is lightning fast so they hustle people in and out so you don’t wait long even if it’s full. Had to get a mug for myself because the aesthetic was just so classic. I wouldn’t say it’s overly pricey considering where it is in New York either, and the portions are enormous.

Response from the owner

We are very happy you enjoyed you dining experience at Astro.

Busy NY diner, but totally worth the wait. Which is really the only downside. You can’t go wrong with the Pancakes and bacon. My husband had The San Fransisco, it’s served surrounded by cutout potato skins, with cheddar, Swiss , turkey and the insides of those potatoes.<br>And what breakfast is complete without some grits. Which were of course very yummy!

We stumbled across Astro on our first night in NY. We hadn’t been in the city more than a couple of hours and we just wanted something light. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We opted for open faced BBQ brisket with french fries, pickles and coleslaw….the serving has more than enough and very tasty. We returned the next morning for breakfast and I had pancakes,(when in America 🇺🇸), with Canadian bacon…a strange combination to an English palate BUT it works really well and was delicious. The menu is VAST and very varied…well worth stopping by for something to eat. Ps it’s a lot better than my pictures show.<br>👍😋👍😋👍😋👍

Thank you very much Mike for the kind words. Hope we see you soon.<br>

We saw this when we were walking and decided to stop because we very hungry for lunch. It was a yummy choice. The food was very expensive but it was fresh. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries. The others got a party melt and Ruben. The pickles were yummy! The service was very quick!

We stopped in for lunch before a show at a theatre nearby. The location is great. The diner is small and a bit cramped. If there’s a line, people are huddled together waiting for an open table. It’s a mixture of tourists and locals.<br>The servers are nice, but hurried. Food is served fast, our fries could have used more time in the fryer… however the cheeseburger was delicious!! Perfectly made but needed addition of salt and pepper. Large menu… Pricey.

Fast food like your brother can cook served in the atmosphere of a traditional diner. Pricey, but hey, its New York near the park, what di you exoect!

This is a quick stop spot. I’m not sure I’d enjoy coming back, but it seems to have a-lot of foot traffic. The menu is pricier than I expected. The location is great, that’s a win.

Quick and easy if you are nearby and need to get in and out, but other than that it’s expensive for what it is and probably not worth the visit.<br><br>I can see a nostalgic factor to the seniors who frequent here but if you’re looking for a good diner with lots of options and bang for your buck, this one’s not it. We got two fairly small, standard dishes (egg and ham sandwich + BLT) and it was over $50 incl. tax/tip.<br><br>On top of that, this place is very small and even walking in the aisles was hard… and I’m a relatively tiny person. The setup isn’t good for lounging and with the prices high, food quality pretty OK, safe to say we won’t be coming back.

LOVED this place, I don't know why more people don't talk about it but then it would turn into a tourist trap I suppose. Had a great sandwich for breakfast. Sat at the counter which was very nostalgic. Staff was super friendly and talkative. My sandwich came out without it's bacon and it was fixed quickly and professionally. HIGHLY recommend! Prices are very affordable.

Went for breakfast here this morning with my wife and son and was a great experience.<br><br>The service was fantastic, really friendly and fast and efficient and made sure you were well looked after.<br><br>The food was a great surprise as didn’t expect it to be as good as it was, was definitely worth far more than they charge. I had the Californian Benedict which was a great take on Eggs Benedict. We also had the Nutella Pancakes and Poached eggs on toast and they were just as good.<br><br>If you are near Astros in Midtown then definitely drop in for breakfast when you are in New York you will not be disappointed.
