Star On 18 Diner Cafe

“ We noticed this place from the High line and we went there because we found Chelsea Market too crowded and noisy. What an amazing decision to visit this place. Very friendly staff and great food. We all ordered something different and all of it tasted great. Size of the portions were also very good. If you're in the area and hungry, you should definitely stop here! ”

“ We stepped in only for a cheesecake and a beer. Both were tasty. Also the service is nice there. ”

“ Update 1/1/25 we stopped in for some coffee and the BEST Rice Pudding in NYC! If you love rice pudding, come here and get it. 10/23/22 back for breakfast. I had Belgian waffle and 2 eggs, perfect. Update 8/13/17: 5 stars. We ordered fish tacos off the specials menu and had the Tilapia broiled instead of fried (pic). Wow, really good! And better than some of the Mexican places we've eaten at. Certainly would order again... and with beers, since this time was brunch w/coffee. Update 6/25/17: oatmeal w/nanners again :) GF had Cuban burger delux- very good. Fyi the jalapenos that come with it are REAL! Not the mild ones you get at some places... I love hot peppers, tobasco is mild to me. Great food... update 5/6/17: had oatmeal with bananas- was good, I'd get it again. GF had Greek omlet again- good. Her rye toast was perfect! Strayed from our usual 9th Ave spots. My Pancakes and eggs- great! Greek omelet- awesome (GF's words). Coffee was good and friendly staff. We will be back :) ”

“ Good, large portions, kind and fast service. Good quality/quantity/price. A dinner to do in New York/USA ”

“ I was looking for a classic American diner experience — like the ones you see in movies, where the waitress tops off your coffee from a pot, and they serve burgers with fries and pancakes with maple syrup. This place is exactly that! Great atmosphere, super nostalgic vibe, and comforting, no-frills food just like you’d hope for. Loved it. ”

“ It is so nice to find an old-school diner in the Big Apple, considering so many classic diners have bit the dust. Those that have not often charge such exorbitant prices that you'd think you were eating at a Michelin star restaurant. This diner did not disappoint - we went at an off time after traditional lunchtime, so we received exceptional service. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. My 2-year-old granddaughter had a grand time rubbing butter on her lips like lipstick and squealing with joy. While two older women weren't amused, the waiters didn't blink an eye! I will definitely go back here on my next trip to NYC to visit my daughter and granddaughter. ”

“ What an amazing find in NYC! It was no wonder we found other families there who were evidently repeat customers. The food was good and there was so much that we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. This was not a place that served 1 sq inch of food on one sq mile of plate. The atmosphere had the comfortable charm of old diners. If you haven't eaten here yet, you should! ”

“ Great place, went here twice because the first time was also great. Cool diner with great and accommodating staff. Pay Manhattan prices, get large servings to match the price. Quality is also amazing. ”
