Comfort Food Restaurants in New York, NY

“Went 1st time today for my Birthday - it was GREAT!💙👍“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Randomly on a Saturday ended up at Hollybrook Lane. And so glad I did the food was exceptional the fried okra was top tier! And the drinks chef kiss. If you like classic throwback tunes paired with comfort food and good drinks. This is the place! Can’t wait to return.“

“Huge shout out to Rebecca! Incredible service and so friendly! Hope to see her again next time I visit!

Impeccable vibe; great decor, clean, classic 80s music playlist, and kind and attentive staff!

Selection of cocktails put a fun twist on classics without being difficult to understand. Food options have fresh sandwiches with an array of fillings and delicious entrees.

Had the hibiscus marg w/ mezcal. Fragrant and light smokiness, really refreshing. The Steak Frites was cooked really well despite some fatty pieces, crispy fries and great portion size. Salsa verde was slightly liquidy but still tasty.

Definitely recommend lunch here, bar seating is supreme.“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“Vincent and Malik were our servers . They were great. We had them cracking up at our silly jokes and the service was extraordinary! Loves good laugh while I wait for bomb food . Thanks guys“

“I celebrated my cousin's birthday last October at Lagos restaurant and Lounge was great“

“What I enjoy most about Senn Thai Comfort Food is how authentic everything tastes. Nothing feels unduly fancy or heavy—just hearty, tasty food prepared with care. The proprietor greeted us with a bright smile, and the service felt pleasant throughout. The basil chicken had an incredible flavor, and the mango sticky rice was ideal. Cozy, clean, and consistently tasty!!!“

“Everything was so perfect and flawless. From the start to the end, from the moment we entered and waited in the lounge bar to the service and the food.. It was a great experience. I want to thank our server Kara who made our night even better!“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“Small place delivers a big tasting experience. Delicious drunken noodles in a perfect sauce with plenty of vegetables. I had shrimp and also ordered fried gyoza and a their house-recipe Thai tea that had an appropriate amount of sweetness and flavor balance. Very nice staff and quickly cooked to my table.“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“Love this neighborhood. Stumbled upon this gem. Atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, but what really stood out was the warm and friendly hospitality. Bartender Colm and another employee (female) went above and beyond—genuinely personable, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about making guests feel comfortable. He took the time to recommend drinks that perfectly matched my tastes and made the whole experience feel personal and special. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Hands down one of the best spots in Harlem. The Handpulled Noodle never misses — the noodles are fresh, chewy, and made right in front of you. Every bowl feels like a warm hug with serious flavor and spice that hits just right.

The lamb cumin noodles? Unreal. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff keeps things moving with great energy. Whether you dine in or take it to go, it’s always hot, flavorful, and made with care.

This place is a true Harlem gem — comfort food, culture, and craft all in one bowl. 10/10 recommend.“

“This place feels like coming home to your favorite cozy spot that always hits just right. I've been here for date nights and catching up w friends- a perfect place for both. It's such an ideal NYC neighborhood hangout- the food is ALWAYS outstanding, and the ambience (think cool jazz tunes, no tvs) is exactly what I need after a long overstimulated day.“

“Awesome location, stunning cozy decor and fabulous food! ✨✨✨✨✨“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Someone who’s from Texas and been here for work it’s really hard to find some true southern flare and this place answers the calling when it comes to that and glad that I’d gotten to make the trip over here to try it out. Also will most definitely will be back again.“

“Our experience eating here was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked what we ordered though we've had better elsewhere. I found the experience outstanding. The entire workforce shows impressive capability. I'm ready to return at the first opportunity.“

“Great Mimosas and Great Staff! M is a character!“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“I’m something of a BBQ critic having grown up in the South and lived there for 40 or so years and I’ve had some bad pork experiences in NYC. So much so that I’ve told my friends, “NYC does every type of cuisine well EXCEPT BBQ” I respectfully retract that statement after having AU Jus’ SUPERB pulled pork sandwich this evening. I’m going to have to join a 12 step program to stop myself from eating it every day. So good it’ll make your tongue slap your brains out.“

“Food is always good! Going there for years“

“This was about a 10min drive from our hotel and the unlimited mimosas made it appealing from the start but the food was AWESOME! Unlimited mimosas added another layer and we were pleased and lit by the time we left. When I tell you it’s worth every dime it truly is so please go. The service is good and they will check in considering it’s a 90minute unlimited mimosa thing BUT all good. Don’t feel rushed because they don’t push you out and again the ladies will make sure you’re good to go. Chelsea is the way to go! We had two rounds!“

“Such a cute place! The food is incredible, especially the broth. It is so flavorful and rich without being too much. The noodle is the perfect texture. IT IS CASH ONLY!!! The people at the restaurant were so nice, and they didn’t make me feel bad for not knowing. They also have an ATM at the back.

This is a wonderful nice place to go to feel cozy and warm in your heart and stomach.“

“Robert, the concierge at the Ritz Carlton NOMAD recommended Ol'Days - I'm so glad he did! ABSOLUTELY delicious! Every single dish is so thoughtful and layered and yummy! I wanted to take every menu item - to go! Your service was also so lovely and held us in the highest hospitality! Thank you for a memorable, fun, delicious and healthy lunch! I hope to see you again! Ps/you will love the arepas!“

“I had the Hot honey chicken sandwich. delicious. highly recommend. this is a franchise I'd gladly go back too. The prices aren't too crazy.“

“Visited from the Uk with our 3 girls. My breakfast was amazing….corn beef hash 👌🏻. The girls all had something different so had to have a taste of theirs too….all were so good. Definitely recommend this lovely little place 👍🏻“

“The best British Restaurant in the city! They have a great selection of foods that any true Brit would crave. Both my husband and myself have been a regular patron for several years and will continue to be for many more to come! I just hope one day they add a cheese and salad cream sandwich to the menu!“

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“EXCEPTIONAL Food & Service. Billy and Tom are awesome, friendly and professional. The food is so yummy and I would recommend them to any events that you're having from weddings, going-away parties, birthdays, memorials, etc. Keep up the fantastic work that you're doing.“

“They have good food, but I don’t speak spanish…so it’s usually very difficult for me to order. I usually get scared of coming in here due to the language barrier (sometimes there’s a customer that will help translate). I like to get white rice with this slow roasted chicken with sauce, beans, potatoes, and carrots. It’s about $10. The super old grandma is really mean - stay away from her. She won’t put it all in one tray, so she can upsell/upcharge you for each item as a small (a la carte).“

“The food was plentiful and so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“The food and the service was amazing! The short rib was soft as butter, the pork rib was juicy and flavorful and the fish was delicious! I highly recommend this place. 🙌🏾🔥“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem. Walked to it while taking my mom to an appointment. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and well cooked, the drink selection was huge for the space. Everything from Ito En teas, to Chi Sparkling water and Clearly Canadian.

The absolute star of the show was a super sweet lady that cook e the absolute best Japchae with shrimp I've had and I've been to quite a few places. Nothing like a home cooked meal at a restaurant. This was made fresh, not microwaved and made with love.

If you're in the Midtown Tunnel area by 39th and 2nd, even if you aren't close, you have to try this place. It is well worth the trip!“

“I started coming here every Friday for about two months and it's always a vibe. I really enjoy myself each time and sing and dance to the songs. The people and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret coming here at all.“

“Excellent food and service.. love this place when we are in New York.. Defo one of the best spots for great food and drinks❤️“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“amazing food and atmosphere“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“Took my parents here for Mothers Day and had arranged to meet my brother in law and his wife for lunch. We had 1 PM tickets to the Whitney across the street so we there at 11 when it opened and waited about 10 minutes for my BIL. Sitting outside not in the tent felt like NYC, the noises, the people, smells were typical New York. The food was great too.“

“The popcorn soft serve is actually so good. I thought at first it was going to taste like pure butter, they’re is actually a nice balance of butter, salt, and a flavor that can only be described as butterscotch I suppose. They also stack this ice cream super high, so for the price you really get your money’s worth. I also got the bag of biscuits. They were buttery and tasted really homemade. I honestly ate the whole bag in a day because they were so good. The butter they came with was also really good. I can’t wait to come back here so I can try more!“

“Food was really good but it took an insane amount of time for my food to come out (ordered rice, soup, and karage chicken). It took way too long for them to even hand me my bottled tea. There weren't even that many people in the restaraunt so idk what the deal was. They did apologize but seriously it shouldn't take that long. It took 30 minutes to get my order.
Also someone kept asking me for money while I was trying to place a kiosk order.
The food was good so I will be coming back but hopefully this is a one time thing“

“Good old fashioned knishes!!!“
