I must have walked by the Brooklyn Diner, just steps away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square, countless times, but only discovered it when I was looking on Open Table for a restaurant for a post matinee early dinner. The proximity to Times Square and theaters make this a great place for pre or post theater. The food was very good and, as vegetarians, we appreciated the variety that enabled our non-vegetarian 20 something son to enjoy his cheeseburger while we had ample non-meat options to choose from. The service was... read more

Lovely restaurant . I made two bookings one for breakfast and one for dinner which I will review separately as they were different experiences. We were met by a young lady who was nice sat us down .

Best pea soup ever, but much too salty. Always pleasant place.

The food was good but the selection was rather limited. There were not many vegetarian options.

Overall we were seated quickly for our reservation and the food came out fast, but I guess we were surprised that they didn't offer fresh home fried potatoes for breakfast. Instead they have these very Italian fried polenta cubes with tomato sauce for breakfast. We were seated in the front and it was quite noisy. The wait staff was pleasant and prompt. The restaurant was clean and had the classic look of an old dinner, but no potatoes for breakfast. We would go back for lunch or dinner but not breakfast.

I was looking for a place convenient to the theater and this fits the bill. The food was standard but I was really looking for convenience and easy in/out. I had a chicken pot pie - not something I usually order - but it was good. My nephew had a hot dog which was huge but good according to him! Tables close together but typical NYC.

Great pot pie! No problem getting out on time for the show, but arrived at 6:30. Sightly slow service but did not press them for time.
