Overall this place is great! The food has a great flavor profile. The prices are very reasonable, and their portions are generous. I would definitely come here again. We didn’t have to wait for a table and the environment felt welcoming. The only area of opportunity is the service as it felt like we were only seen a few times throughout our meal, but that is negligible.

Response from the owner

Michael, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback about our food, portions, and welcoming atmosphere! We truly appreciate you highlighting these aspects of your experience. We'll definitely work on being more attentive throughout meals, and we hope to serve you again soon!<br><br>-Peter

I have been visiting NYC on holiday more or less annually now for 25 + years. Each time I visit, I have a meal in the Westway Diner. The food is great and well priced, the menu is extensive, the service quick, polite and efficient. Westward Diner, I will be back again in 2026. Many thanks !

We arrived at 9:30 on a Saturday and were told they close at 10pm. While the servers weren't too happy we decided to eat there, we sat down and ordered quickly.<br>I had a pizza burger deluxe and my friend simple had fries. Our food arrived quickly and it was exactly what I was expecting from a diner. Also, they have happy hour specials just $5 a drink, which is good to know for future reference. Definitely would eat here again.

Response from the owner

Anamaria, thank you for choosing Westway Diner and for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the pizza burger deluxe and that our service was quick despite the late hour. We look forward to welcoming you back soon, especially during happy hour!<br><br>-Peter

Ok. This is neighborhood diner. If you are looking for a nice place for your family, or just to have a nice quiet breakfast, this is the place! The prices are fair, and the staff are really nice folks from all around NYC. For Native NYorkrrs, i personally recommend. Tourist, sure! Get out of broadway, Time Square and all the hustle and lights, and take a moment to enjoy a taste of Midtown:)

So delicious and enjoyable that we came back twice in our 3 day stay! Service is great, menu is huge so options are incredible. Classic American dishes to enjoy especially great if you’re there to try all the classics as an excited girl from England! The eggs, biscuits and sausage gravy with cheesy grits was a highlight and the filter coffee is great. Classic diner booths and really good service in a great location.

Response from the owner

Becki, we're thrilled you experienced the best of classic American cuisine during your visit from England! Coming back twice during your short stay is the highest compliment we could receive. We're so glad you enjoyed our eggs Benedict, biscuits and sausage gravy, cheesy grits, and that our service made your New York dining experience memorable.<br><br>-Peter

Great diner. Ordered the cornbeef hash and chicken and waffles. Cornbeef hash was average but the chicken and waffles had great flavor. Quick service, cozy and friendly. The wait is outside but moves rather quickly. Would recommend.

The Manager Felipe made room for our 9 person group which was excellent. We<br>were super appreciative of this thank you so much. Then our server was a tad bit fast with wanting to collect our orders but we are from Chicago and the east coast is synonymous with a faster pace lifestyle. That was the only fault I had the food was amazing and HUGE PORTIONS worth the price especially in nyc.

Response from the owner

We're thrilled that Felipe could accommodate your 9-person group and that you enjoyed our generous portions and amazing food! We appreciate your understanding about our faster-paced service style - it's great when guests recognize the NYC rhythm. Thank you for choosing Westway Diner, and we hope you'll visit us again soon!<br><br>-Peter
