Very disappointing experience, both food and service.
I came in with high expectations based on reviews, but the reality didn’t match at all.
I ordered the steak and fries: the skirt steak was over-seasoned to the point of masking the meat’s flavor, and the cooking was way off. I asked for medium rare, got something close to well done, with no sear/no Maillard reaction, the steak felt almost boiled.
The Caesar salad was just sad: plain lettuce with some parmesan, nothing more, for $19. That’s the same price as a pepperoni pizza or chicken sandwich, and $2 more than short rib sliders but felt like a bland side, not a real dish.
I’m not even upset about the prices, cuz I understand NYC is expensive, and I work in the industry but when the food lacks care, that’s where the real problem is.
What made things worse was the service. Our server checked on us literally 10 seconds after the food arrived, while I was still cutting the steak. The overall vibe felt like forced friendliness aimed at the tip, not genuine hospitality.
We politely shared our feedback with the manager, who barely reacted with a flat “I’ll let them know.” Then, when paying, both the server and manager were hovering around us to see how much we’d tip and we even overheard the manager whispering to the server about it as we walked out.
I did leave a tip out of respect for the kitchen staff, but overall, the experience was far from what it should have been.
A restaurant’s reputation is built not only on food, but on how customers feel when they walk out the door.

HUGE shoutout to the manager for helping us out and getting us in last minute right before a Knicks playoff for a table of 12!!! Service was great, very attentive. The food was pub food , yummy and everyone was full by the end. Great beer selection. Can’t recommend enough for the service alone.

Great service, great beer, great hot honey wings even though they were hotter than expected. House made ranch. Will be back.

Great bar for after work drinks and wings

They charge $4 for ice when you get liquor straight up on the rocks. Criminal.
[Edited after a reply saying they don't charge for ice. Here is my receipt showing that they charge for ice lmao]

Worth a visit if you're in the area. Great chicken wings and great beer. Service was awesome 👌

10/10 The vibes and atmosphere are chill with a little classy thrown in. It’s giving modern sports bar vibes and the food and drinks were OUTSTANDING. I will remember this burger for the rest of my life. Mudville’s martini game is fire and Stephanie my server gave impeccable hospitality. Great place to end the day, watch sports, eat, drink then repeat.

Came here hoping for a decent neighborhood spot but left underwhelmed. The name fits, unfortunately – the food was generally mediocre, especially considering the high prices. The real issue was the chicken sandwich; it wasn't just spicy, it was so excessively hot it was nearly inedible. Just overwhelming heat that destroyed any other flavor. Burger was a bit overdone and mac and cheese was chunky and dry (tough to accomplish).
Good beer selection and available 22oz servings, if you can stomach the prices. Definitely not worth the walk for 'mid' food and one painful miss. Plenty of better options in Manhattan.
