I stopped in here based on prior Yelp reviews, and I'm glad that I did. The service was friendly, the order was accurate and quick, and the food tasted great. Granted, I had a few lazy sodas in my gullet, but my omelette was the cat's meow. Scotty's is a shining example of what a small diner should be. Thanks to the staff for a pleasant experience. I will be back for more!
Had a late night bite here as we wanted to try a new diner during a recent trip to NYC. Our travels take us to this neighborhood a lot so looking at new options is always something we do.
The food was good and the service was very good. Friendly waiter who took care of us with a smile, which can be a rarity in a NYC diner…
Scotty's is on our list for when we need a quick bite.
The service was quick despite the number of people jammed in the joint. The food was great. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon cooked just right. Nothing fancy and the price was fair, two things I appreciate. This isn't the breakfast spot at the Waldorf Astoria people, but it is damn good food! If you can get past the fact that it isn't spotless and modern, you'll appreciate this place.
Update 7/20/16 – ate here for dinner. The turkey club with fries was delicious. A bit more on the expensive side for the dinner items. Still, this joint is becoming the go-to when we visit the city.
Scotty's has has everything your hungover heart could desire. I wouldn't say it was the best food I've ever had, but did it cure my hangover?…yes. Will i come back next Sunday?… probably.
Very dive-y diner, a little too much for my tastes.
We were in the area at a tequila restaurant / bar that closed too early for food – and after cocktails I wanted a little something to eat so yelped food or diners nearby. This was one of the only places that showed up. The block seemed kind of deserted even at 12 Friday but we ventured in.
I ordered a vegetable omelette with ham, and the quality wasn't great.. Canned mushrooms, huge chunks of tomatoes. Perhaps if I had more tequila it would have tasted better but – being sober – not so great.
My friends tuna sandwich was pretty good and the French fries with gravy were tasty.
Service was good, friendly and quick.
Stopped in on our way back from a show to the hotel. Not a bad place, although it's full of quite the cast of characters. I had a waffle, and it was perfectly adequate for late night breakfast.
If you're planning to spend a day walking around Manhattan doing touristy stuff, you'd better put away a big breakfast. Remember, you need a lot of fuel to keep those legs moving, and there's nothing better than walking out of a diner feeling horribly full and being able to say a couple hours later "guess we walked that breakfast off!" when it turns out you're hungry again.
Scotty's is nothing special, just the run of the mill midtown diner serving the usual fluffy pancakes, the usual not at all fluffy scrambled eggs, and the usual done to a crisp bacon, all with coffee that won't win any awards but is still probably better than the evil green empire on every corner. There are enough of these around town that you don't need to go far to seek Scotty's out, but if you're nearby and need that power breakfast, this place will do you fine.
I am going there for breakfast always when I am in NYC. The service is amazing and their French toasts as well;-) Looking forward to visiting you again!
