“ Best chicken tenders I've ever eaten! Desserts are a big hit too. I always get a piece of cake to go. Fast service and a mix of regulars and tourists. For a diner, the prices aren't too bad. ”
“ Love Cosmic Diner! Food is always delicious, excellent portions. I especially like the counter where regulars hangout. Favorite of Broadway actors and crew. Fast service. Be sure to have the cheesecake and bacon&bagel sandwich to start the day. Well, you can have the cheesecake for lunch or dinner. ”
“ I last stopped in here for an early dinner on a Friday. The place was fairly empty, so there wasn't any wait to be seated. I ordered coffee and their steak & eggs. I always love places where I could order breakfast outside of breakfast hours. The food was good and decently priced for Manhattan and the current economic situation. This restaurant is just your typical diner. Since it's in NYC, it reminds me of the Seinfeld TV show whenever I eat here. I liked that the check was handwritten on an old-school receipt. Yet, I was able to pay with Google Pay. There's an extra fee for using credit cards. ”
“ Loved this spot, my family and I were visiting from out of town and we came to eat late night. The staff were all fun and friendly. Food came out fast and was delicious. Very home like feel to this diner. I feel very welcomed. Will come back in the future and recommend this place. ”
“ News flash! This place is open till midnight. Good place for after the Broadway show for a really late dinner or snack supper. It's far enough away from 42nd St so it isn't mass packed with all types of humanity. I had breakfast. They have rye bread which was a find. Nothing fancy but it was a really nice find on a night in NYC. ”
