Madison - New York

This is the classic Greek Diner Coffee Shop. Hamburgers the size of a side of a steer, gargantuan slabs of cake, but the biggest draw is the crowd of regular genuine New Yorkers. My attached photo shows two women, since deceased, who were regulars of the restaurant allegedly since its opening decades ago. Sadly, they both recently passed within a year or two ago. The picture clearly shows their hands gnarled with age but still gesticulating facial expression still animated

The prices are very high for a diner. The food is good though. More of a Greek diner, doesn?t have potato latkes, which I really wanted. Their breakfast sandwiches are good.

For the past 20+ years, I have been a loyal customer of Madison Restaurant, but I can’t afford their prices any longer… For a recent brunch of cheddar red onion omelette (came with fries and rye toast) with small side of bacon and small grapefruit juice my bill was almost $35.00 before tip! Yikes!!! Yes, the food has always been good, portions are a bit larger than other places and the staff is just wonderful but I can’t afford this diner any more… Sadly, I will be eating elsewhere because of Madison Restaurant’s exorbitant prices.

The food was very good but I am an older person who remembers being able to get meal specials at reasonable prices. This is a typical diner I think their prices are astronomical which is why I can't give them a better overall rating.
