“ Tasty and affordable place to come for a lunch. No queues when visiting during a week, nice staff. Vegan and vegetarian options available, you can create your own bowl. The room is spacious and well lit with natural light. I am happy we chose to eat here. ”
“ What a Delicious food they serve in here and for a good price! It's a nice little restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. The dish size is not too big and not too small, it has enough food for you to be full and happy :) what I like about this restaurant is that they serve food in a takeaway plates, so if you're in a rush or need to go somewhere, you can put it inside one of the bags they have, and leave. Overall, I would rate it as a 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend it to tourists like me. ”
“ I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to for Dig especially the locations at 1297 Lexington Ave and 1407 Broadway. The food is always fresh and nourishing, but what truly sets these places apart is the people, especially the manager. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen and valued. It’s rare these days to find someone in a leadership role who truly caresnot just about the food, but about the people walking through those doors. You can feel it in the way the team moves, how guests are treated, and how the space feels like home. At both locations, I’ve been greeted with kindness and patience, even during busy hours. The manager goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome, and you can tell their presence has a ripple effect on the whole team. It’s more than just a meal, it’s an experience that leaves you feeling better than when you walked in. I’m genuinely grateful for the warmth and care I’ve experienced every time. Thank you for creating something special. I’ll definitely be back again and again. ”
“ I know this is a Dig and as usual, their food is good, but I'd like to mention that their portions were good. Sometimes you go to a fast-slow-health-food chain and you're not sure what to expect (portion size, price, quality). This was a standard quality, all around great lunch. I arrived in the late afternoon and there was no line and the food was still fresh. If you love mac n cheese, their version never disappoints. Came hungry and left full. ”
“ We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Kai at DIG Upper East Side. After an issue with a missing side from our delivery order, Kai responded right away and did everything he could to make it right — not once, but twice. The first re-delivery accidentally went to our old address, but when we called him back, he was incredibly understanding and empathetic. He resent the correct item again, this time including a handwritten note apologizing and making sure we felt taken care of. Kai was professional, kind, and clearly went above and beyond. His service truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers. Thank you, Kai — you're the reason we’ll keep coming back to DIG! ”
“ My favorite place on the UES for lunch. Always fresh, great variety of healthy food, lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices. Kale Cesar salad - highly recommend! Always ordering a triple portion of it:) Also, on Mondays they have family day, when your kid can get a free meal with your order, which is extremely convenient, since my toddler loves farro there and herb chicken. Not many places around that area are serving healthy kids option, but Dig Inn does. Alma, who is working there on regular days, is absolutely lovely. Such a great personality, always happy, smiling, happy to help. Highly recommend that particular location for a great fresh lunch! ”
“ Great take out spot. Good healthy option and customizable if you decide to splurge a bit. Has some space to sit inside if you want but I took it to go. ”
“ We went to the 1297 Lexington Ave location. It was my first time with my family going to Dig Inn. When it was our time to order, I told Nelly that it was our first time here and she couldn’t have been nicer. She answered all my questions with kindness and patience - - and with a smile. The food was fresh and delicious. When the store slowed down later, she was the only one wiping tables and straightening up the chairs. You need to hire more people like Nelly :) Thank you Nelly for making our lunch an enjoyable experience! ”
