Spurs Cafe

We went there for lunch and I loved the food. I ordered burger and fries. Price was very reasonable. Only disappointment was that we were told they have freshly squeezed OJ but after 20 mins wait we were told they do not have this any more! Hence the reason I gave this 3 star rating. Service is decent.

We had originally set out for another place next door but there was a 45 minute wait on a Saturday late morning, so we settled for Spurs. Best decision ever! It was cozy, no wait, great music, fast service, and delicious food! The eggs benedict was perfect, and the homefries and french fries were amazing. There is outdoor seating and it was not too crowded. Will definitely be back.

my favorite burger spot in nyc.

As you will find all over the city; the ‘diner concept’ they started with here is utterly overshadowed by the goal of being trendy and glam.
I usually come here with a date after a movie at nearby FilmForum. Its almost always empty between 10−12pm; (I assume it gets packed later on– in the wee smalls? How else would they pay their rent?) and while I’ve had an adequate/​unremarkable experiences here its usually because I overlook the general slouchiness. Writing this review is when it all comes back to me.
I would vote it as ideal for group-​dinners because (as noted above) its never all that crowded. However, other people have the same idea. Any given evening, at least one of the neighboring tables is sure to be occupied ‘en masse’; and so instead of relative quiet you get boisterous young kids just come from some super-​wonderful party or rave or comic-​con or laser-​tag-​night. Bellowing lame jokes; tossing food at one another; and generally ‘nyuck-​ing it up’ at the top of their voices. Relax, children… yes, you are so cool, we know, we see…
The menu is corny and coy with cutesy play-​on-​words. Admittedly, the variety of choices offered is as diverse as any old-​school diner’s– but, please. At these prices?
Next: what is up with the lighting? The walls and ceiling are machined aluminum; diamond-​plate. AKA, Very Stridently Silver. But with lights turned up this high; you need sunglasses to eat your meal. Turn down the dang lights, seriously.
Service: listless and indifferent. Staff = flatliners. Attention on their cellphones. Ehh.
Now when you actually get the meals set down before you I will say its okay. Languidly prepared; but good ingredients. Its hard to mess up a menu this simple. Quality ranges from acceptable to decent. Nothing all that memorable. Still. to be able to get a BLT sammich & cheese fries late at night on the way home is at least some faint echo of warmth and humanity. Until you see the bill.
Overall: ‘Spurs’ is alright… but not essential. If they really want to make something out of it they will hire only girl staff and put them in extremely chauvenistic, sexist, cheerleader outfits.
