About The Dickens

The Dickens is a lively spot with delicious food and good drinks, perfect for a pre-theater visit or a fun drag brunch. Highlights include espresso martinis, coconut shrimp, and flatbread, as well as spicy tacos and chicken wrap with fries. The drag show brunch features bingo and bottomless drinks for $25, making it a fun experience. The food is fresh and decadent, with customers raving about dishes like the steak salad and fish tacos. While the wait staff can be slow at times, they are attentive and friendly, with staff members like Danny and Oviedo receiving praise for their responsiveness. The DJ and performers like Jacquelyn Hyde add to the entertainment, making it a highly recommended spot. The noise level can be high, especially with loud music during dinner hours, but the atmosphere is energetic and enjoyable. The stools at the tables may feel oddly low, but the overall experience, including the rooftop area with stunning views of the city, is excellent. Recent reviews mention a very good cheeseburger and fresh Stella, though some found the staff not very friendly. The restaurant can be quite loud, but the lively environment still allows for conversation. Reservations are available, but seating options can be limited, and some find the seating uncomfortable, especially when trying to eat with a coat and pocketbook on their lap. Food options like the steak sandwich can be chewy, but desserts and drinks, such as the eggs Benedict and spiced apple spritz, are highly praised. Overall, The Dickens remains a fun place for good food, drinks, and lively entertainment.
