Better Than Your Average Diner – I love a good diner, but most are a dime a dozen. I was happily surprised by Lyric Diner when I tried it over a year ago. The food is consistently good and a notch above other diners. I've brought friends and family here and everyone has enjoyed it. And I can honestly say that Lyric Diner has had a profound effect on my eating habits...I used to hate waffle fries, but one drunken night I grabbed one off a friend's plate and didn't stop until her plate was cleared. Lessons learned - 1) I do li... read more

Great late night/Early morning breakfast spot – Lyric is a classic 24 hour diner. Everytime you go there, you can experience something new. Late night patrons are sure to entertain, whether it be exploring new food options on their inexpensive menu (great marinara for a diner) or your traditional egg white omlette's. Also great for delivery at any hour.

Great staff, bad food – I've been going to Lyric for years. It used to be great! After many changes in management or ownership, it just keeps getting worse. The burgers are patties that anyone can buy in the frozen food section, but I have let that slide... especially when it's late and this is a 24 hour diner... however, I ordered an order of zucchini sticks and got a double dipped fried order of pickles. Like I wouldn't know the difference. If I were told that zucchini was not available, I wouldn't have minded at all. But ... read more

awesome food and staff!!!!!! – The food is delicious and the staff is very polite and friendly!!!! most N.Y.C diners have nasty, miserable servers. I was treated very well by my waitress and would go back.

Worst Service Ever – The restaurant did not include syrup for the pancakes as indicated. When I called and asked for them to bring some, they said they would and took down my information. When I called back after waiting an hour they said they could not find someone to bring the syrup and that I was too far away and hung up on me. I only live 6 Avenues from them and was stuck eating dry pancakes 2 hours after I ordered them.

go elsewhere!! – i've always use to pass by this diner, and finally decide to try it, considering that it's says it's open 24hrs at first the waiter was rude and gave my bf a dirty can of soda, when we ask him to change it, the waiter out the soda right back in the fridge. we both order burgers, and usually we are ask how we like it cooked, our waiter never asked i ordered a cheeseburger with fries, when the burger came i realized that I could have made the burger at home, and i liked the fries more than the burger, i would ... read more

Inconsistent – As I live around the corner from Lyric, I find myself there many a morning after a late night. The service as well as the food seems to have been inconsistent. It's pretty much seat-yourself, I've always walked in and chosen my own booth. Servers are prompt to put coffee on your table and take your order. The fries are really one of a kind - crunchy on the outside and squishy on the inside. The gyros are humongous and come with a pretty decent Greek salad. Omelettes are a bit on the skimpy side. Wraps are not ... read more

Go elsewhere! – This diner, while it may have a great range of food, the quality of the service, both in how they serve and lengthy waits is apalling. My food arrived one hour after ordering and the quality of the meat was tough and badly cooked. It's hard to get American diner food wrong in this town.
