Seb ThuaultJune 18, 2011All tips in cash. Classic old school diner. Food ok, service great, place is funny looking in a good way.
Butter burger and a chocolate egg cream = perfect lunch.
Chris OzerNovember 22, 2009No nonsense diner straight out of the '50s with great burgers and club sandwiches.
Jake BraithwaiteJanuary 2, 2012Terrible chicken fingers and fries, good milkshakes and floats though!
Sit at the counter for a traditional diner experience.
Christian DickmannApril 21, 2015Had a Bacon Cheeseburger and wasn't impressed, a little boring. I have had many much better burgers over the years. The chocolate malt was good (and too much) but also not very special in my mind.
CaitlinOctober 31, 2012I just paid $9 for a sandwich I could've made myself. So overpriced. Definitely not worth it.
Greg PJanuary 26, 2017The cinnamon raisin French toast was too sweet. Also the Arnold Palmer was nothing special and definitely not worth the $8.50!!!!!! Service was good and the food came out quickly. I would not return.
Paige CAugust 19, 2017I'm seriously wondering how this place manages to stay in business with its overpriced food/drinks and poor service. There are much better options all over the neighborhood.
María FernándezMay 21, 2016EL dinner de NY. No os dejéis pasar por allí un día para un desayuno... Merece la pena conocer el local y a su personal.

"Love my park. I've been taking 6 mile walks around Central Park 3 times a week. Sheep's Meadow is a great place to hang out for a picnic. Tavern on the Green is an awesome spot to grab a drink."

"The architecture is awesome, and the exhibits are fascinating. Visited in March 1998, when Art Honor Society @ WHS had their field trip. It was the perfect day, especially for me when I was just 15!"
