i've been to the Brooklyn Diner (in Times Square) many times before -- have always enjoyed it as a place to eat before a Broadway show. And I usually get the lobster roll. This past Saturday, I went and ordered the roll -- the lobster was totally dried out. It was pretty awful. And my basket of fries had lots of pieces that were as short as half an inch -- little stubs of fries. I should have complained but had an out of town guest and didn't want to make a scene.

Wanted to get a quick bite to eat before a broadway play. We chose the Broadway Diner but were disappointed. The service was good but it did not make up for the overpriced food which was fair at best.

I booked for breakfast with some business colleagues. Unfortunately the ovens were not working. We all had granola, fruit and coffee - which was probably good for me. Difficult to judge overall as there was no hot food and not many people.

I went to the trouble to make reservations, which was totally unnecessary, The maitre 'd didn't even ask. I definitely would not return. The Split Pea soup was bland and luke-warm at best. The soup contained soggy slices of a hotdog/sausage. The signature "Stella" Macaroni was another disappointment again, luke warm with a thick slab of cheese on top. The service was decent I expected so much more from a restaurant named "The Brooklyn Diner.". sadly disappointed.

We ate dinner at the Brooklyn Diner. While we were seated right away the waiter took a long time to get to us. The menu is limited. Entrees were expensive. They did not have an option for a cup of soup or dinner salad. These were only available in large sizes. I had the stroganoff with noodles in cheese sauce (I liked the stroganoff sauce more than the cheese sauce) and did not come with bread or vegetables. My husband had the sole with spinach but not with rice, pasta or potatoe, so we shared. But for the price of entrees t... read more

I had high hopes for the Brooklyn Diner but unfortunately my family and I were disappointed. Service was friendly but somewhat slow for lunch in midtown. The biggest let down was their "famous" chicken pot pie. It is expensive but it is also huge - almost family sized. Nice crust. That's the good part. The problem? Almost no chicken. It should have been called celery pot pie. The pie was loaded with pieces of bone and gristle. Not very appetizing. Overall, I didn't mind the very high prices (after all, this is Manhattan) but... read more

The food was just ok and way over priced! Wings @ $18. It was very dissapointing. I would not go back nor would I recommend it.
