Love these bagels! Order ahead or be prepared for a long wait on the weekends. My go to is the everything bagel. Their cold brew is also super strong and delicious!

Surprised to see that as of writing this review that Eisenberg's only has 3.5 stars. This is a very good diner in a city where they are becoming more and more scarce. I've been to Eisenberg's at least 10 times and have good experiences each time. The restaurant has an old time diner feel and is narrow but at the same time not claustrophobic. I always at the counter and never have to wait long for one of the cooks behind the counter to take my order. They make the best egg creams here as it has the perfect amount of seltzer to give it that foamy head without diluting the chocolate taste. Breakfast here is great and filing as you can get eggs, a breakfast meat, potatoes, and toast for under $10. Additionally, their matzo ball soup is delicious and priced well compared to most other places in the city. Food always comes out in a timely manner and staff is courteous. I cannot recommend a better place for breakfast or diner food in the area than Eisenberg's.

Classic Jewish comfort food - ya can't beat that! I've worked in the area for several years and somehow just tried Eisenberg's for the first time. It's safe to say that I'll be back very soon. I started off with some matzah ball soup (partially because it was a chilly day, partially because I won't pass this up if I see it on a menu). For five dollars the bowl is pretty large and comes with one very plump matzah ball, chicken, noodles and carrots. The broth was flavorful and only needed a little bit of pepper to liven it up. I also tried an order of latkes. A side is 3 dollars and comes with one pretty large latke and a side of sour cream and applesauce. The latke is perfection. Perfectly crispy and golden fried. Homemade potato pancakes are a pain to make and the frozen guys just don't taste the same, so it's nice to know that I can grab one at Eisenberg's when I have a craving. I snuck a bite of a pastrami sandwich which was tasty but not amazing (certainly not the best pastrami that you'll have in NYC - and most of us agreed). The pastrami was a bit burnt. But the sandwich was still very good and came stuffed with a ton of meat. So while this is no Katz's, Eisenberg offers a classic homemade Jewish meal / diner experience. This is a great place to visit if you are looking to satisfy that type of craving.
