Best

Time and time again 7A never fails to deliver. The breakfast burrito is so filled with flavor, it's hard to imagine food like this can come out of a 24 hour diner! This restaura...

Worst

Been here a few times and nothing was ever great. The drinks are bleh and the food is blah. I ordered a soup before and it was barely warm. Ordered some tofu dish and it was a big...

I'm always happy to go here. 7/19/2006

7A's food doen't need to be as good as it is. You walk in expecting nothing but when the food arrives it's always great. I've been coming here for years because it's always so pleasant. No fuss. No attitude. Pros: Good food at any time Cons: None in particular more

turned away........ 2/28/2006

My friends and I have been going to 7A as long as I can remember. Usually for late night bites after a night of drinking. We all sat down and ordered full entrees, and then asked to order a bottle of wine and were DENIED.......based on our "level" of intoxication. It was 11pm on a school night, and we certainly were not too drunk to drink. What has happened to the East Village???? more

All Nighter Spot 6/23/2004

Yeah, it's spiced up diner food. But it's GOOD! Tuna Melt, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Salmon burger are favorites, for sure. Great late night spot but it is usually very crowded. You may be rushed- you usually dont have to ask for the check to get it! Forget Brunch- there are usually people waiting outside, although the brunches are delish as well! Pros: Good Food, Cheap Cons: , Rushed more

Deee-lish! 5/7/2004

This is my favorite weekend spot for breakfast/brunch. I have never had a bad meal and I have always had good service. It can get a bit tight in the indoor seating area, but what better way to get to know your neighbor (and maybe pick off his/her plate)? Pros: Fast service more

super yummy 3/17/2004

fresh, yummy food and fun, lively atmosphere. this is our favorite neighborhood place to go for brunch on the weekends...all the food is delicious--except the one funny thing is that they refuse to make egg white omelletes--just won't do it; last time I asked, the waiter laughed and said the cooks won't even do it for him. go figure--obviously, i love the place, so i keep coming back anyways. oooh, i've hd late night dinners here to...good stuff. i think it's open 24/7... Pros: inexpensive, great food, great atmosphere Cons: , no "healthy" versions more

Highly overrated East Village diner 2/2/2004

The food is just okay. The prices are good. The service is terrible. The waits are long on the weekend. Pros: Inexpensive, Good Location, Open all night Cons: , Poor Service, Food is just okay more

Cheap and decent food 5/6/2003

Good for a cheap brunch, or really a cheap anytime meal. I like it. And they even have pitchers of beer. The service isn't the best in the world, but what do want for that kind of money? Pros: good food, cheap, pitchers of beer Cons: crowded sometimes, service so-so more

Great food, long lines... 2/22/2003

Despite the long lines this bar/eatery has a great brunch for the morning after-hangovers! Get drunk at night and then come back in the morning to cure the nausea with brunch and a screwdriver! Pros: good food, liquore before noon Cons: long lines more

Reliable 2/16/2003

This is one of those places that when all else fails, there's 7A! They offer a better menu than a diner, the prices are good and it is down to earth...good for after-partying or just dinner. The waiters are always super nice and relaxed. more

SURPRISING!! 2/16/2003

stumbling through the East Village at midnite on a freezing Friday nite in January....vowing to eat at the next restaurant that we stumbled upon, and it's a good thing we did....the inside of the restaurant resembles a diner, so we thought we'd be getting diner-quality good. we couldn't have been more wrong. both of us ordered filet mignon & mashed potatoes....the filet came out and was absolutely delicious, on a bed of julienned vegetables in a balsamic vinagarette sauce.....MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!! more

Best Fries Around 1/31/2003

7A is open 24/7 and is great for lunch, brunch or a late night visit after partying all night. This is the local spot where we can always count on for a great brunch, a California Burger, the best fries or their carrot dressing for salads. Nevermind Sidewalk (across the street with horrendous service), there is a reason why there's a wait, it's great food, served quick...for cheap. PS- If you get there by 11, there's hardly a wait for brunch. Pros: Fries, Burgers, Carrot dressing Cons: Wait more

good place to go with friends 1/18/2003

My friend told me of a great place to get buffalo wings and he was right. The places are always piled high, and they're pretty great here. i might say one of the best ones i've ever had. seating is rather cramped, and some waiters can be a bit on the rude side and not show up very often, but good food none the less and definitely a good bang for the buck. groups are good if you can stand the wait for tables to free up. I've always had a good time with my friends here. Pros: food, inexpensive Cons: little to no parking more

great food 8/23/2002

Great food! fantastic brunch, there are many options, the service is great, good value. more

Great Brunch!! 8/16/2002

ALthough my party of 4 had to wait 20 minutes for a seat. It was well worth it. A must for Sunday brunch. more

Best brunch around 8/6/2002

I start daydreaming about Saturday brunch at 7A on Tuesday. A big pile of seasonal fruit and strawberry butter on french toast, good coffee, a hopping crowd, friendly service ... it's all worth the wait. And great prices too. more

Good Food, Great Patio, Cute Waiters 7/24/2002

A great place to eat! Tasty food at a great price! Pros: Good Food, Cheap Prices, Cute Staff more

Yummy and inexpensive 6/18/2002

  • This East Village mainstay is exactly what it seems: a convenient, no-fuss cafe with a menu of solid, if basic, dishes. Though modestly decorated with simple wooden tables and floor-to-ceiling...
