Service is very good and fast paced. Food is mediocre. I had the pastrami on rye sandwich and it was edible. The pastrami was lukewarm and not very tender. The potato pancakes were soggy with oil. For me Bloom's is quick and close. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by but if you happen to stumble in, stay to eat.
Stumbled on this place before catching a train at Grand Central and glad we did. It's atmosphere is simple family restaurant and the staff was very friendly. It wasn't busy as we went for and early dinner.
The food was fantastic. I got a one if their specialties which was corned beef in between two homemade potato pancakes. It was delicious and huge. The corned beef was fresh and juicy and the potato pancakes were the best I've tried to date. My son got a cheeseburger that was possibly bigger than his head. It also was delicious. The burger was fresh and looked like it was freshly pressed as well. Not your typical frozen patty. It came with a ton of fresh cut fries as well. You will not leave here hungry!
I think this place will now have to be a frequent stop when we head into the city. Excellent food and service.
This was by far the worst food we had while in NYC.
The "omelet" was over-cooked flat unseasoned eggs that they apparently pre-cooked then stuffed to order and reheated. The cheddar was more like kraft cheese slices than real cheese. We also ordered eggs florentine. I was told that it contained spinach (what I would expect) but it came out with extremely bitter and tough greens (no one removed the stems).
Service was indifferent, but they did refill our coffee and water without being prompted.
Three stars is right on the dot for this place. It's okay, but it's not anything great.
I'd read about Bloom's being a great place for gluten free, so I put it on my list of must-visit restaurants during a trip to NYC. Yes, they have a gluten free menu, and yes, it is longer than most places. But the toast isn't anything special, and some of the cool stuff (like French toast and pancakes!) disappears after 11 am. I went with the omelette, as we'd arrived at 11:20 am, and was kind of disappointed at how flat and greasy it was. I think eggs beaters were used, not actual eggs. And I can name at least four brunch places back home in Chicago that can do omelettes better and cheaper.
If you're seriously craving some gluten free toast, sure, stop by. But otherwise, for the money, you can find better breakfast options, gluten free or not.
I think 3 stars is the right rating for this diner. It was close to our hotel and open early (or 24 hours?). Seemed to have several regular customers. We both had a combo with hash browns, 3 eggs, toast and drink. I had the corned beef hash which I thought was just ok. Husband had bacon which was ok. Thought it was a bit pricey for it all but again convenient to us.
This place could be great but for the owner, who is truly just unhelpful, unfriendly, and unnecessarily difficult.
It's a shame too because the staff are competent and friendly and the food is good. But dealing with him is enough to keep me from returning.
I won't be back.
Standard diner. Nothing special about their food. Service was sub par. I had the 3 eggs with home fries and toast. High prices but normal for the city.
I'm still looking for the classic New York cheesecake-dense and flaky. I didn't find it here, getting the creamy style instead. My roast beef sandwich was fine, nothing special. The service was OK. Bloom's, overall, is your average diner with decent food.
