Many options, good flavors

They had more vegan options than a lot of NYC restaurants. The lentil soup was very good, although I wasn’t sure if the toast it came with had butter or margarine on it. The impossible burger was standard. The vegan chocolate cake was VERY good.

Expensive spinach

Farmers salad was okay but mostly just spinach and oil - few figs and hazelnuts. Cost me $40 odd AUD 😳 was only worth half that.

Highway robbery! I consider Carnegie Diner to be a tourist trap, though admittedly, prices here in NYC in general are over the top.

I appreciate the effort!

This dinner is kitty-corner from Carnegie Hall. The food is not inexpensive (pricier than what one might expect from a diner), but the portions are huge. I had a vegan burger and lentil soup; both were pretty good. This diner has a whole page devoted to plant-based foods--but it is not quite vegan. For instance, the fries were cooked in the same oil as the meat; the salad had honey vinegar dressing; I was served non-vegan cole slaw with my vegan burger; none of the desserts are vegan; etc. Fortunately, I alerted the friendly servers that I wanted vegan food, and they were careful to accommodate me (for instance, swapping the fries for veggies; swapping the salad dressing, etc.). But be forewarned: you should not automatically expect that everything listed on the plant-based page of the menu is vegan unless you double- or triple-check.

Pros: Huge portions, pretty good tasting food., near Carnegie Hall

Cons: Pricey for a diner, the plant-based listings are not all vegan

A for effort

First, I really appreciate this diner having a separate plant-based menu. I stopped in for breakfast and got the egg breakfast. There’s a picture of this breakfast as the main picture on HappyCow and they have changed the dish. It’s a little odd, but it is an omelette on a multigrain roll (omelette sandwich?), and then you get french fries instead of hashbrowns, along with a salad. Once I got past that, it was pretty good. When I return, I would ask for toast instead of the multigrain roll and ask for hashbrowns instead of french fries. I’d also prefer fruit over the salad.

The service was great, the people were friendly, and I would go back again.

Plant menu and huge portions

Good service, great food, huge portions. We split a vegan breakfast sandwich and our kids split an order of non- vegan pancakes and we had food leftover.

Full plant-based menu…

Awesome job with a full plant-based menu at this popular diner. I ordered the omelette plate which was fair, nothing spectacular. The menu has all the main ingredients for a vegan menu including vegan egg, vegan cheese, Impossible patty, etc. I’ll have to try some of their other offerings before I would give a higher rating.

Pros: Full plant-based menu

Cons: Food just ok

Great Plant-based options!

Great experience with a separate plant-based menu that included breakfast omelette, sandwiches, and more. Lunch and dinner also featured in the menu. The coffee was fantastic for a diner!

Pros: Separate plant-based menu, Tons of options, Friendly staff
