Johny's Luncheonette

Cute classic diner style breakfast. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. That said, the food was a letdown especially for the price. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and was honestly shocked to find only one slice of pastrami inside. The sandwich looked sad and felt extremely skimpy, not at all what you’d expect when ordering pastrami in NYC. For what you’re paying, the portion size just doesn’t match.

If you’re in Chelsea or Flatiron and need a quick, casual breakfast, look no further! The pancake was extraordinary (a total must-order), and the Greek omelet was equally delicious. To top it off, the staff is incredibly fun to chat with while you wait. Highly recommended!

I love having my expectations exceeded, and this is exactly what happened. Found Johnny's by Googling "diner near me" and voila. Fabulous breakfast, ample portions, and frankly, its about the people. Genuine, and we loved it!! We were lucky by just beating a rush of people, but would definitely wait if we had to! We will make a point of this being a regular stop on future trips to nyc!! Thanks a ton guys!! 🇨🇦

Was staying in Chelsea for the first time. Picked up a rec for this spot for breakfast from Diners, Diners and Diners. I was starving so I didn’t get enough photos. We got here during a short lull and were able to sit right down but within a few minutes the line outside grew pretty huge. If you’re in the area and want a nice quality sit down regular counter lunch or breakfast this is a perfect spot for it. Nice regular coffee black like i like. Excellent cook on the grill. Eggs were prefect. One of my favorite things is a quality counter breakfast and this hit.

Amazing original experience, the service was top tier and the food was great! These were the best pancakes I ever had. You need to queue outside for 20-30 mins but the queue moves fast and the food is worth the wait. These price was reasonable and genuinely I feel this is the best breakfast in the city. It is recommended for groups of max 3-4 people I would say. We got the banana and blueberry pancakes and the lumberjack with bacon and scrambled eggs, combined with maple syrup it was to die for. Can’t wait to visit again!
