The Comfort Diner

Update 23 Feb 2026: second visit and had the Red Flannel Hash. It was just as good, perhaps even more enjoyable than the for time. Definitely a diner to visit. Solid diner experience. I will definitely visit again. Friendly and attentive service - the right level of attentiveness :). The coffee hits that diner coffee sweet spot, with the perfect shaped mug to match. The red flannel hash is a surprising twist on the theme. Executed in perfect diner style. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and beets were cooked to the right consistency, an excellent dish given the difference in cooking times for these. The pork was tender and flaked beautifully. A total comfort breakfast indulgence.

The food portions were larger than expected. The service was fast and friendly. My omelette could have used a little more salt imo, but everything was very good overall.

We went because of the coupon from Club Wyndham across the street and were not disappointed. The place is huge by diner standards, so there was no wait, and service was efficient, particularly considering the surprisingly large menu. Food was great - it’s diner food, so you either like it or you don’t. There was a table of folks who seemed like they’d wandered in from another dimension who essentially wanted custom recipes and kept sending things back - this ain’t that kind of place. If you want generous portions of diner classics in a setting that hasn’t changed since the 70’s, this is for you. If you want a $50 salad, go elsewhere.

Comfort Diner is a great classic NYC diner with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The food was really good, and the Mexican omelet was especially great. Portions were generous and everything came out fresh.

Food was great, time to get food, not so much but they were very busy. I had Chili Mac and my wife had Chicken Noodle Soup and salad (which took a while to get, while I had mine). Wife said it was the best food of our 4 day trip, so that's a plus. Old school diner vibe. Place was packed.
