Reviews for EJ's Luncheonette in New York, NY
I ordered a pastrami sandwich and coffee. The sandwich was tasty, tender meat, good cheese and sauerkraut. Side salad was ok.... Efficient service. Read more
We recently moved to the upper Eastside and I?m delighted to report that we now have a wonderful restaurant where we can enjoy,... breakfasts, lunches , dinners and order meals delivered to our home! We had a wonderful waitress,Sofia, who provided excellentservice and was so charming and professional that I would have happily ordered more food to just continue to enjoy the ambianceof E.J.?s lovely restaurant. We both had omelettes. My friend had lox( white only) eggs and onions with challah toast and homefries and I ordered an omelette with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella! This was the best omelette I?ve had since moving intoManhattan! Read more
I love EJ?s, it?s a great classic diner and a mainstay of the neighborhood. You can rely on them to have the classic diner food,... give good prompt service and have a that quintessential diner atmosphere. Read more
Portions were good, service was fantastic. However the food lacked flavor and were not worth the price. For example the Mac and... cheese (shown in the picture) as an appetizer cost 12 dollars but looked and tasted worse than Kraft's Mac and cheese. Read more
Such a nice spot for some great diner food. They do breakfast lunch and dinner options. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere... is relaxed. You'll probably spend between $10-20 if you get food but it's well worth it! Highly recommend! Read more
Always busy but worth the wait. Neighborhood diner with more than a Greek coffeeshop menu. Super nice staff squeezed in 9 of us... for Saturday brunch. Between us, we tried the biscuits n'gravy, scrambled eggs, gluten-free French Toast, pecan-banana pancakes,huge bowl of oatmeal, turkey sausage, Western omelet and chilaquiles... Everyone delighted! Accommodated the 2 babies withpleasure. Nice sheds too, well heated and spaced apart. Read more
Came here for brunch. Ordered their country breakfast with a side of cheesy grits. The grits were pretty bland and the turkey... sausage wasn?t that great. Their eggs, coffee, biscuit & gravy were pretty great! They have a nice layout and buzzy vibe. Theiroutdoor seating is also really nice. Read more
This place has been awesome for years and a neighborhood favorite. I am pretty sure they were busy through the entire pandemic... and for good reason; they have great dine in, takeout, and do a ton of deliveries. The menu is diner safe, all good things thatyou will recognize, quality of the food is very good. EJ's is predictable which is what you want in a place that's good; theywon't let you down. Staff is also good from the door to the back of the kitchen. The kitchen is exposed, everyone at theirstations and well orchestrated. EJ's is clean and it appears everyone is always having a good time. Five stars for me becauseit's a great diner with awesome comfort foods. There are tables, banquets, and of course you can eat at the counter. Seating isin three main areas; the counter and enclosed dining room, a peripheral seating area towards the side street but still buildingattached and glass enclosed, and then a side street and a third avenue outdoor space in the streets. Plywood gourmet-typeseating courtesy of NYC for restaurants during the pandemic. The bathrooms are downstairs (2 of them for guests) and the stairsare a bit narrow and steep, just hold the railing and all will be just fine. There is wheelchair access but the bathrooms willbe a challenge. EJ's is a great place, eat here. Read more
