Pearl Street Diner

“In the Financial District I think the Pearl Street Diner is an excellent option for a good, quick meal.”

“Today I ordered one of the many chefs' specials, that being a chicken wrap with a side of curly fries, and it was just delectable.”

“Every component of my breakfast (two eggs over-easy with home fries well-done and corned beef hash well-done and rye toast) was absolutely perfect.”

  1. Classic Ner.

    First, I don't think authentic diners are going for 5 stars. They are what they are – lingering pieces of Americana, classically nostalgic, and born from the first food trucks.

    This is a classic Nyc divy dinner. No frills. Nothing fancy. Inexpensive. Nothing great about the food. Just a place to get food. Don't set high expectations.

    My one complaint is that the cheese on my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was not melted.

  2. Uhhhh… I've been living/working around the corner for 8 months and never stopped by. Didn't want to go to a place called "NER". Finally bit the bullet and OMG, why have I not come by sooner? Breakfast(6-11) prices are dirt cheap, and you can't really screw up breakfast. Homefries, Bacon, Eggs, Toast, Coffee, small(very) juice for $6.90 after taxes. Service is respectable i.e. my coffee cup was never empty. And their coffee is good, nice and dark, much better than the flavia crap at the office.

    Reminds me of my favorite Diner in flushing, and now I have one right next door!

  3. This diner makes Waffle House and Huddle House appear 5 star.  My friend ordered pancakes and they tasted frozen and reheated. Nothing like IHOPS buttermilk pancakes. I ordered French toast but it tasted like sliced soggy bread… The western omelette had no taste no seasoning and no cheese. When we sent it back requesting cheese, they brought it back with sliced cheese and had microwaved the omelette…u can tell because the cheese never melted because it looked wrinkled. The home fries had no taste. We sent the food back and will never return.  Maybe you need a hangover to enjoy this diner. Sigh…

  4. A small retro diner amidst the hustle and bustle of Downtown Manhattan. It's fun, convenient, and nostalgic; but lacks in proper management. The hostess was a little rude and our server had to be reminded numerous times about items we ordered. It's saving grace was the good food, great prices, and the bottomless bowl of pickles. Yums!

  5. the best diner in NY.
    service – so good
    food – so good
    price – so good
    everything about this place – so good.
    Classic NY Diner.

  6. We love how much this place doesn't fit in this area.  And that's where the love ends. The place is small and staff is friendly. Unfortunately, the food is bland and portions are small. You'll find empty seats pretty easily if you come on the weekend cuz there's nothing else around.

    Our pancakes and omelette wasn't very tasty and felt rushed. Though the prices are cheap,I don't really see another reason to come back here for breakfast. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for their breakfast.

  7. Great diner. After waking on and around the Brooklyn Bridge, we were starving for a big NYC diner breakfast, and Pearls delivered in spades. Prices were great, service was fast and friendly for New York standards. I devoured my eggs, hashbrowns and toast. The coffee was fine and gave me a much needed morning jolt. The best way to start a day in NYC is with a stomach full of diner food, and Pearl Street Diner hit the spot.

  8. Breakfast served until 11AM, barely made the cut!

    Small little place but feels very cozy, food was decent, not huge portions but a decent size where you aren't bulging out of your pants, so that's good!  

    Ordered the avocado and spinach omelette, wish they used more egg for the omelette but I still gobbled it down.

    The service is pretty good as well, great place for a quick bite to eat if you're in the area.
