Came to ritz diner just to try it out and it was pretty decent. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries and it was pretty good! The fries were great! Other items ordered at the table were the chicken pot pie, fish and chips, and pastrami sandwich. Two of the orders (fish and chips and pastrami) came as lunch specials with a side of soup and soda. I tried the matzo ball soup and found it pretty flavorless. The chicken pot pie has a good filling but the crust is so thick it seemed underdone. It was so chewy and a really big turn off. Our server was friendly. Our seats were in a spot where the sun hit constantly, I’d really love to see them get some shades or something because it was really uncomfortable sitting there at times. I’d definitely go back to try something new and to get those fries again!
The best thing about the Ritz Diner is that you can order practically anything at anytime. I think they serve some of the best fries I’ve had on the upper east side. The portions are huge and filling; the wrap was almost unwieldy. And in true diner fashion, service is very quick and the food came out with hardly a wait.
I had ordered my boyfriend a watercolor painting of the front of this diner because we love NY diners. So on this trip we decided to go and it may be our new favorite diner in NY. The wait for a window booth table on a Saturday morning was no longer than 15 minutes. Food came quick, was delicious, coffee was hot and came frequently. Our waiter offered to take a photo of us because he noticed we took pictures of our food. Was a very lively intersection made for great people viewing. Would absolutely recommend and come back!
Just amazing! Really loved the experience I had here. Was welcomed with a smile, the food was delicious and the ambience just what you want in an American diner experience! Went there 3 times in a week and I'm still dreaming about those delicious pancakes and french toast! Staff was very nice and even recognised us each time we went back! Definitely recommend this.
Authentic diner with menu on 10 pages. The brunch option is a great deal with coffee or tea, fresh OJ and a fruit plate. Service is very good too.
Pro tip: the 2 tables at the back facing the window are the best spot for a quiet conversation.
The Ritz Diner is a perfect spot for a quick bite or full meal at any time of the day! Open 24 hours, their expansive menu is sure to have something for anyone who comes in (no matter how picky they are). The wait staff is quick and friendly, if you’re not from the area, this diner will give you a true feel for NYC.
Great place to go alone, as a couple, with friends, or kids. Ample seating, nice selection of diner food with indoor and outdoor seating. Servings are ample, and the place is very clean. Recommend highly.
This was my first time at this restaurant. I ordered a Belgian waffle and a cup of coffee. My friend ordered grilled cheese with home fries. The staff was very friendly. The food arrived very quick and it was quite tasty. I would definitely come back and I would recommend it to others who enjoy reading at a diner.
Yummy, good ole fashion diner. love the vibes and so glad they also have turkey bacon for those who dont eat pork!
I have been to so many diners and restaurants around the world and around nyc, but I always look forward to come back to the Ritz diner; not only great service from the time you go inside, even in rainy days a very professional staff and its manager Geroge Pettas welcomes you and guide you to your table and then the delicious food, thank you for your great service.
