Chelsea Square Restaurant
“The atmosphere is old-school diner, not 50s kitsch but nice and somewhat dimly lit with windows on all sides – very good people watching!”
“Much better than the Rail Line across the way that is much more expensive.”
“Not sure what they do but the matzoh balls are made to perfection.”

3.5 stars! came here for brunch on a sun since we were too lazy to look around. if you're in the area and looking for the classic diner food then try this place out.
we were greeted and seated right away. the waiter quickly came by and took our orders. we ordered the eggs benedict and corned beef hash w eggs. it didn't seem too long for the food to come out since we were people watching through the windows. The food was okay. The corned beef hash was a little burnt in some parts. the eggs were cooked just right (can't really mess up sunny side up eggs). the portions are big and the price isn't bad either.
My dad literally was freaking out the whole time we were here. It's a very authentic diner and has a lot of character! The food was good, the potatoes were perfectly done and our omelettes were great as well. I'm an English muffin stickler and there's were a little dry. But what are you gonna do? Fun place and would come back for breakfast again!
I haven't thought about eating a patty melt in I-couldn't-tell-you-how-long. My friends and I came here before a late show at UCB and it felt like the inside of a grandma's house in a really comfy, Americana way. We all pretty much got burgers or grilled cheese type things (mine being the hybrid I guess). Also got an eggcream and cherry soda (cherry syrup in Coke!). The only downside was my friend tried to get a couple things from the daily specials (stuffed cabbage and Salisbury steak) but both were out as well as baked potatoes. But hey, goes to show food is actually daily! Definitely wanna come back.
came in early sunday am after a night at the park. really clean diner with nice views of chelsea on 23rd street.
the menu is surprisingly easy to navigate…sometimes diner menus are just overkill. like a chinese menu that refuses to end, but this one was pretty scannable.
i was going to order a burger, but then i opted for the pastrami/corned beef reuben instead. served open face, big but not gigantic. melted cheese on top and its great to break into with a fork and knife. fries were golden and delicious. perfect fries really put me in a good mood. the pickles left a little bit to be desired.
and honestly i forget what juddy ordered, i was too busy shoveling my food down. for like 3 am it was a good find, not far from the late night meatpacking madness.
i daresay in the city its the best diner ive been to. and its strange, i tend to go to diners more in the city than in jersey (i get some things backwards okay haha). and this one – clean, delicious, affordable and hey, it even had some personality.
The Quick: Your typical "Long Island" diner with good, quick service. Since this type of dining experience is rare to Manhattan, have to go 4 stars. I recommend the Slovaki platter; the gyro option comes with more than the chicken option, but both are served with a huge Greek salad and delicious fries.
The Damage: $17 per person including tax and tip for dinner. Yum!
This place was ok. In a great area. Walking distance from Highline. The server was incredibly honest. When I ordered cheese blintzes, he said – You don't want those! I was, like, uh, ok why not? He said that they had been frozen, and when they are cooked, they don't heat up well. I was better off w/ eggs or french toast for breakfast. Disappointing, but ok. The French Toast was fabulous, by the way :).
We were wandering around after a movie, and it was late afternoon. We had dinner plans at 9, so we didn't want anything too heavy. The Chinese restaurant was already closed, so we decided to come here. Great location and the windows offer a different perspective of the city and its people.

Kitschy look inside….it's a diner with diner food, no-nonsense wait staff…food is decent. I got the eggs benedict and though it was alright, it didn't have that heavenly kind of hollandaise that I'm used to. Home fries looked more like smashed potatoes…LOL! Jonesy had the bacon and scrambled eggs…toast you had to butter yourself even though it says, "comes with buttered toast." Bacon was done crispy which was a plus.
It was breakfast, a late breakfast, so maybe some of the other dishes are better. It's also open 24 hours so maybe when you're drunk, things seem better.
A better-than-most 24-hour diner with fantastic milkshakes and desserts (strawberry shortcake). The chicken tenders also don't feel like they're from a freezer: moist, tender, juicy. Atmosphere is chill and get left alone at all hours of the day. What's not to like.
