“Great and atmospheric place with fancy vibes! The food was good and surprisingly less expensive than we expected! We will definitely come back for dinner.”
“Empire Diner is a modern take on a classic NYC diner. The menu has a nice mix of comfort food staples and more updated dishes, so it works whether you want something familiar or a bit different. Prices felt okay for the area, and most importantly, everything I had was genuinely delicious. Great spot for an easy, satisfying meal with that diner vibe, just a little more polished.”
“Came here a little over a week ago and it’s such a cute spot. The architecture from outside is inviting and the inside is upscale cozy. All the staff were extremely helpful and our waitress was great! I had the steak and eggs (a go too for me when it comes to breakfast) and the ingredients are top notch for the same price you’d get in other diners in the city. Highly highly recommend.”
“Long on my list of diners, we finally were in the neighborhood for the U-Haul Art Exhibit and stopped in for dinner. It was delicious. We were warmly welcomed, seated quickly. Our waiter was attentive and the orders taken and delivered quickly. Absolutely delicious food. The desert, the Empire Sunday, was exceptionally decadent!”
“Empire Diner is a fun spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The service is great, and the food is delicious. The Eggs Benedict was superb. It gets filled up quickly, so I highly recommend making reservations.”
