Johny's Luncheonette

We had breakfast here several times during our stay in New York and loved it every time.<br><br>The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is authentic, relaxed, and exactly what you hope to find in a local New York breakfast spot.<br><br>The food was delicious, especially the Lumberjack Breakfast, which was fresh, filling, and perfectly prepared. Portions were generous, service was fast, and prices were fair for Manhattan.<br><br>If you’re looking for a genuine local breakfast experience instead of a tourist trap, this is the place to go. We will definitely come back on our next visit to New York!<br><br>Highly recommended!

Quite a unique find. Small place with mostly counter seats and maybe 2 tables. Old school menu

We had breakfast here several days during our trip to New York and it quickly became our favorite spot.<br><br>The food is amazing—very typical American breakfast. My favorite dish was the pancakes with blueberries and banana, and the rest of my family loved the pancakes with eggs and sausage or bacon. Everything we tried was delicious.<br><br>The service was also excellent. The waiters were very friendly, and the owner, whom we met on the first day, made us feel very welcome and at home.<br><br>A 5/5 in every aspect—if we could give more, we would! Highly recommend it to anyone visiting New York, especially if you’re in the area.

Johny’s is your typical classic Italian NYC breakfast lunch spot. Small, quaint with fun staff that are your local neighbors.<br><br>Food is fine, typical diner food with the French toast being the highlight.

Hole in the wall dinner serving awesome pancakes and good vibes! Worth a visit if you're in the area!

Cute classic diner style breakfast. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant.<br><br>That said, the food was a letdown especially for the price. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and was honestly shocked to find only one slice of pastrami inside. The sandwich looked sad and felt extremely skimpy, not at all what you’d expect when ordering pastrami in NYC. For what you’re paying, the portion size just doesn’t match.

Really nice place to get a classic brunch! It’s not too big inside so there is a chance you’ll have to wait a little to get a seat, but it’s worth it! Portions are generous and staff is also very friendly and chatty :)

If you’re in Chelsea or Flatiron and need a quick, casual breakfast, look no further! The pancake was extraordinary (a total must-order), and the Greek omelet was equally delicious. To top it off, the staff is incredibly fun to chat with while you wait. Highly recommended!

Great food and excellent service. We had breakfast 🥞 🥯 and it was delicious.<br>They serve also Lunch.<br>Seating is on the bar or 2 small bar tables.<br>We liked it ☺️

I love having my expectations exceeded, and this is exactly what happened. Found Johnny's by Googling "diner near me" and voila. Fabulous breakfast, ample portions, and frankly, its about the people. Genuine, and we loved it!! We were lucky by just beating a rush of people, but would definitely wait if we had to! We will make a point of this being a regular stop on future trips to nyc!! Thanks a ton guys!! 🇨🇦

Walked in at 8 a.m. and there were only 4 or 5 others there. I ordered pancakes with a side of eggs and turkey bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection; the pancakes were light and fluffy, as were the eggs and bacon. Great service, too! Highly recommend ⭐️

Perfect! highly recommend, we will come back.<br>Food - simple and delicious, just the way it's supposed to be.<br>Service - welcoming and nice, they made it into the perfect experience.<br>Vibes - perfect, even when packed you get the feeling that you're welcome to stay and that you have your space.

Was staying in Chelsea for the first time. Picked up a rec for this spot for breakfast from Diners, Diners and Diners. I was starving so I didn’t get enough photos. We got here during a short lull and were able to sit right down but within a few minutes the line outside grew pretty huge. If you’re in the area and want a nice quality sit down regular counter lunch or breakfast this is a perfect spot for it. Nice regular coffee black like i like. Excellent cook on the grill. Eggs were prefect. One of my favorite things is a quality counter breakfast and this hit.

This is like my kitchen with a few extra chairs at the counter and two tables in the back. I was seated next to a folded Brompton Bicycle; felt right at home. I rode them for 20 years when I lived in London. I had an excellent vegetarian omelette and home fries. The portions were just right, coffee was very good, and the service was attentive, friendly, but not hovering. This is very cozy compared to a typical diner. I recommend highly!

Amazing original experience, the service was top tier and the food was great! These were the best pancakes I ever had. You need to queue outside for 20-30 mins but the queue moves fast and the food is worth the wait. These price was reasonable and genuinely I feel this is the best breakfast in the city. It is recommended for groups of max 3-4 people I would say.<br>We got the banana and blueberry pancakes and the lumberjack with bacon and scrambled eggs, combined with maple syrup it was to die for. Can’t wait to visit again!
