Scotty's Diner

Lovely local 24-hour NYC diner. Busy on the Sunday morning. I could order anything on their extensive menu so not restricted to a limited breakfast selection. I'm first to admit that I'm no Philly cheesesteak expert but what I got was hot and fresh. Bread was soft and fluffy. Fries were super hot. You'll have to queue if you get up late for breakfast but it's a relatively short wait as people don't hang around. It's not very big but nice atmosphere. Would recommend a visit if you are close by in Midtown Manhattan.

We visited this place on our last morning in NYC for a late breakfast and were not disappointed! This place was absolutely packed but we were made to feel so welcome by the owner who was chatting to every table as he went. The food was fantastic, I had chocolate chip pancakes whilst my husband enjoyed pancakes with bacon, ham, sausage and eggs. Coffee was good too and prices are reasonable.

Fantastic place to eat! This is the sort of diner I've been searching for on many trips to New York and finally found. Used mainly by locals means it is cheaper than the tourist trap places with better food and proper American portions. Had late breakfast here twice on short trip to New York and set me up for full day of walking the sights. Staff are friendly and efficient, menu is extensive, only downside I can think of is with four people sat at a table it is too small for all the food they bring.

The Google reviews of this place are absolutely accurate. We stayed for breakfast and the pancakes were out of this world. The food was fantastic, and there was a lot of choice. It's all cooked fresh to order. While we waited, we were given a given a bowl of fresh fruit each which came with the meal, which in NYC was a great refreshing treat. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and weren't overbearing. They were chatty and friendly. Granted, the place doesn't look great from the outside, but this feels like a place for the locals. If you want lights and fancy decor, go to Time Square. You want great food and an amazing atmosphere, go here! Our next visit to NYC will absolutely include a trip to Scottys!

As an Australian, I've been so enthralled with the idea of dining at a diner. Rated the highest diner near the vicinity of where we stayed, Scotty's fulfilled a boyhood dream of sitting in a diner. Meals were hearty, good not great. Coffees simply poured from percolator. There wasn't more I could ask for. I left satisfied, pleased with the food and experience.
