    The Manager Felipe made room for our 9 person group which was excellent. We were super appreciative of this thank you so much. Then our server was a tad bit fast with wanting to collect our orders but we are from Chicago and the east coast is synonymous with a faster pace lifestyle. That was the only fault I had the food was amazing and HUGE PORTIONS worth the price especially in nyc.

    Really excellent place for breakfast. The food was so much better than it looked. It looked dull, very little colour, but it tasted great! Staff were extremely attentive and polite. Fast service! Would absolutely come back!

    Perfect location, Manhatten West close to Port Authority. Warm and fantastic typical diner atmosphere. Perfect, professional and very fast service. Extreme friendly. You feel good, you feel home from the first moment when you arrive and talk with the doorman til the end when you pay at the cash desk. Food quality amazing. Absolutely good prices. 4 days NYC = 4 days breakfast in WESTWAY DINER

    One of the better and semi-affordable places in the area. The food was pretty good, and the staff was awesome. They are constantly doing rounds checking in on us. They did get pretty crowded but even then we were sat fairly quick. All the food that came to our table looked delicious. Would recommend checking it out!

    The standout feature of this restaurant was the service, which was both fast and incredibly accurate. Our orders were taken and delivered with impressive speed, making it a great stop if you're in a rush. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the pace. Everything we tried was simply 'just okay'—nothing inherently bad, but certainly nothing memorable or exciting enough to warrant a second visit.

    The only thing I didn’t like about this diner was that I didn’t have time to go back again in the morning. Really enjoyed the food. It was fresh delicious highly recommend if you want a diner. Go there and get a nice Grubb.

    Best breakfast in or near Times Square. My wife, daughter and I discovered Westway on our first day in NYC 3 years ago and made a point to hunt it down once more on our most recent visit. Not only is the food first rate, but the staff is friendly, courteous, and on point with coffee refills, butter, syrup, and anything else you may need. Even on a busy Black Friday morning, we were seated very quickly. The prices are more than reasonable, and to top it off, the restrooms are fragrant as a freshly shampooed Rapunzel.
