Deluxe

Went to brunch here and have to say it was so mediocre. I had come once before for dinner and my burger then was good, but this brunch, not at all.
1. Cold coffee
2. cold home fries
3. cold turkey bacon
4. not super runny poached eggs
Not really anything nice to say about this place. The fact that it is packed, you’d think they could do some of these things better, especially with the turnover on the coffee pot.
Never again

I hate diner food. Love Deluxe because our family can agree to eat here, at what is technically a diner, and all tastes can be satisfied, including my desire for a delicious salad — impossible to get in every other diner I’ve tried in New York – they’re always watery, tasteless, thrown together with a few drab tomatoes, canned olives, and processed dressing. Deluxe makes a mean Cobb salad, a delicious beet and warm goat cheese on croutons salad, as well as excellent hamburgers and fries for the carnivores in the crowd. They have a nice ambiance – not too loud; in summers, their outdoor seating area is very enjoyable. Good solid service. My only complaint is that they change the menus on the weekend and do Not offer their great salads at on Saturdays and Sundays, so we never go there except during the weekdays. Also, I implore them to expand their very limited delivery radius! In the meantime, I can often be found hoofing it over to get carry-​out salads for dinner.

Good food is a little harder to find in this neighborhood probably, but this ‘upscale’ diner themed restaurant serves a very good Turkey burger and fries. Definitely get caramelized onions on it if you like them. The milkshake is made the old-​fashioned way, and is brought to you in the big metal blender cups that any respectable diner should have. The ice cream float is good too. The servers however, are slow and not attentive at all, it took about 30 minutes to ask for a check, even though she walked by us several times, looked straight at us, knew we finished our meal. Another waitress, someone who had just started her job that evening had the cutest, squeaky voice, (I thought she was an actress at first, but realized the whole voice/​quirkiness was real). The entertainment of watching her serve someone else made the one who kept ignoring us at our table tolerable.
