“This is the perfect place to take your friend who comes to New York often enough that people think she lives here. Get here around 4:23 on a Thursday and you’ll only wait 40 minutes in the wind to get a seat at the Coop, where you’ll spend 10 more minutes trying to puzzle through their menu. Your friends and you will pick different items, curious if it’s actually good, but once the drinks and sandwich’s come, you’ll wonder how you’ll ever go to another bar.Cocktails are a few more dollars than the average New York drink, but the quality is at least double (no pun intended).“
“Had a wonderful meal this evening at Upland, really enjoyed my artichoke entree and was pleasantly surprised by my lobster main! Luis was so professional and attentive, I loved my complimentary guava sorbet and the honey ice cream was also delish. I highly recommend them, thank you for taking such good care of me for the two hours I was with you.“
“Clean, plugs for phones, good location.Burger was perfectly salted and flavored. Thin patty for a satisfying but light meal.Chicken sandwiching was very tender (dark meat) and had its own unique spices separate from the sauce.Fries were crispy and battered. Perfect.Recommend both!“
“I was amazed there loaded fries are with sprinkled through the fries and the ? 's are great ?. For the price you can't get a better ? burger else where.I 'm glad they are expanding through the city. So, you can find there burgers throughout the city.“
“Instantly made welcomed when arriving. Even on a weekday afternoon at 3pm, it was very crowded. I would not want to imagine how crazy it gets on the weekends. Prices are reasonable if you take advantage of the daily specials they post on their website. TVs all around the bar to watch sports and background music was mix between pop music and 50's oldies tunes. Since the bar area was so crowded, I felt a little isolated sitting by myself at a table and not really able to socialize with anyone. Service was very friendly but a little slow due to how busy it was. I would definitely return though.“
“I love this original location of p.j. clarkes! i've been here so many times it's hard to rate just one time. the service is always on point and the food is consistent. an elevated gastropub menu focused on a raw/chilled bar. but don't skip the burger and the chicken pot pie, both is which are fantastic. the bar area is first come, first serve, and reservations are taken for the main dining. even without a reservation a wait for a table isn't that bad. plus the red and white checker table cloth is such a fun novelty. oh and did I mention the martinis are big, nice, and cold?“
“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“
“This. Was. Unbelievable.The place has limited seating just a warning if you’re a big party- I got the chopped cheese platter over fries and my boyfriend got the chopped cheese sandwich with fries and we both got drinks.All together it was about $53!100000/10Dietary restrictions: Gluten free option“
“The original items on the menu are easy to spot because they have funny names and are more complicated. An eventful egg-and-cheese sandwich called the Lil’ Shonda incorporates a weighty slice of pastrami, pickled green tomatoes and something called Dinkee Sauce, which seems to be mostly mustard. You could pick up and eat the cheeseburger (or either of two variations on it) with one hand, and by the time you’d started to wonder who baked the excellent little bun, the thing would be half gone.“
“Great hole in the wall diner. If you like authentic diner food, great spot. Went there Sunday around 1pm, other restaurants in the area were packed. Waited outside for a little bit but was seated quickly. Inside only seats maybe 20, small area but friendly staff. Had the French Toast and would recommend it. Great option for brunch or breakfast would come back to try it for lunch. Great location and close to a lot of shopping. Also good diner prices for New York.Atmosphere - 5/5Food - 5/5Price - 5/5Food - 5/5“
“I was super skeptical to try this at first because it didn’t seem authentic but after i gave it a try i had to come back 2 more times because it was GREAT. Jerk chicken over rice is on top. I’d recommend this to anyone especially if you’re tired of a basic chicken over rice platter. Make sure to get their dragon sauce.“
“This is a family owned restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen that takes that to heart. The food is fantastic and service is fast. It just has that bit of personality that makes it feel like a place out of a small town instead of the middle of Manhattan—and that’s a really good thing.My one suggestion would be to maybe add an impossible burger, turkey burger, or a chicken dish to the menu. If you don’t eat beef, there’s not a lot of protein options…but it’s also a burger place so what does one expect.Definitely check this place out :)Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese, veggie burger“
“Overall, a super cool place that is a must see if you come to Times Square. I have a few naggy things below, but they don’t subtract from the overall experience at the place. They sing. They serve you. Sometimes they do both at once! Came with my 2 boys and they loved it. Great food, amazing atmosphere. I suggest it for sure.Gripes:1 - long line out the door waiting outside. 45 minutes for us, no heaters, 40 degrees outside with 20MPH wind made it freezing! Meanwhile, McDonalds was 500ft away. We really had to resist going somewhere else. How about some heaters for people waiting?2 - Price. Family of 4 was $180 including auto-20% tip. Way too much for a BLT, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese and hot dog. And they ask for donations, so easy to spend $200 bucks here.3 - Bathrooms were very small - did the men’s not have a toilet? I didn’t look hard but didn’t see one at a glance among the 10 other people waiting to use the bathroom at the time.4 - rude staff getting you in and through the building. Waitstaff was amazing.“
“I can’t say enough good things about this my first visit to Next Stop Vegan in celebrating a dear friend’s birthday.We made reservations for a party of 8 and had to adjust the time due to the inclement weather and was met with a Caribbean vibe of “no worries! We’ll see you when you get here?” kinda vibe.The layout is intimate and they make great use of the space. The menu is 1 page 2 sided which makes things less complicated ?? Moat meals are under $20 per person and worth every penny. So affordable.We ordered 8 different dishes to mix and taste and enjoyed them all! What a win. I’m already planning my return trip. Not salty, seasoned well, not oily with tons of great flavor. We had the mofonguitos, el plato, Yuka fries, guacamole & chip, oyster mushroom sandwich, pigeon peas in coconut milk with rice, tofu and avocado, friend green plantain with black bean, avocado, greens and tomato to name a few.Now for the best part. The service! Top notch white glove treatment like you are the only party there. We had 2-3 different servers throughout the evening and each one without exception was outstanding! Thank you for making our celebration oh so special and we can’t wait to experience the awesomeness that is Next Stop Vegan again! You guys rock!Unfortunately no street parking to speak of BUT there are 3 parking garages on the same block so you’ve got options.“
“I’m giving this place a 5 star because the quality of Smash Burger was consistent and great. It’s one of the best burgers I have tried (out of all the places I have too in Brooklyn)Good selection of salads that always come fresh. If you are coming here for the first time, try their sambusa, burgers, lamb soup (traditionally prepared) or lagman dish (with in-house handmade noodles). It’s a little spicy, you may want to opt out of it.Burger meat has tasted great at all times. After coming here for more than 5 times, I can confirm that you won’t regret with one of the dishes I recommended.Service has always been great and on point. Sometimes they may give you a space, but they quick to react if you need anything.Go with their Kompot for a drink (good balance of sugar and it’s not that sweet) or any other drinks of your preference.Lastly, they are keep improving, which is a great sign.“
“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“
“Fast service, and good foodSmall menu, but done well. They ask for your phone number to let you know your order is ready, which I personally don't like, but it's efficient I guess. Cool vibe and they offer vegetarian options. A bit pricy for the amount of food you get, but a casual place to hang out with friends.Vegetarian options: Impossible burger available“
“This place is always so good. I recommend getting the double patty because one of their smash patties just isn’t enough. They’re thin and cooked perfectly.The staff is always so friendly and quick.The food is fresh, made to order and always blows my mind.My only complaint is that it’s nearly $6 for a side of fries and the amount of fries you get is tiny. It’s not even enough to split with someone.Also - love the music here every time I come. There’s something nostalgic about sitting at the counter and 60/70s classics bopping in the background.“
“We stumbled upon it by chance, wandering around the area and entered attracted by the menu. The place is special, the girls who serve the tables are really thoughtful and kind. Very good fries and also the salmon burger sandwich, good, plentiful and not overly seasoned like everything else in these parts.“
“I love the concept and advocating for plant-based food. I like the self ordering system and the seating arrangement. Sadly, the buger that I ordered was missing the green leaf lettuce and had a tiny touch of mayo and just a tiny piece of pickle. My guess is that the kitchen ran out of ingredients. I did not bother asking for an explanation. I felt that the staff was also exhausted and not in a good mood. Hopefully, it will be a better experience next time.“
“This was the first time I had been to Rippers in eight years and it is still as good as it was in 2015. The burgers are so flavorful and juicy and came with a special sauce with cheese, lettuce and tomato. It tasted so good. The Fries were topped with salt, pepper and spices. They really have a great flavor and really don't need ketchup. The one thing is that they give you a very generous portion and are perfect for sharing. The view of the shore is amazing and it is nice to hear the waves crashing while you are eating. It puts you in the mood and you can just relax.“
“I love Florence Prime Diner! This is just what the neighborhood needs! I like to get the vegetable quesadilla, caprese panini, cuban panini, and I love their avocado toast for breakfast. They serve breakfast all day also so that's great. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. You will love it!“
“i came on a saturday afternoon and i eat at alot of burger spots,but stackd burger backs the taste up,the texas burger the onion ring was nice and soo crispy,the burger also had flavor,and their fries are nice and crispy,i will be back to try out the fried egg “
“Our waiter was very nice. My only complaint is that it took a long time to get our drinks. In fact, our dinner came before our drinks. I could've understand it if the restaurant had been very busy, but it was later in the evening, and it definitely was not that busy. Having said all that our food was delicious and I love the ambience of the new space.“
“This place was amazing. We got the “jani” burger and lamb chops and also got to try the nihari sandwich. I loved the mint chutney that they added to the burger. Felt like I was getting authentic Pakistani flavor in a burger form - you definitely have to try this place!“
Steak House • $$
“I strolled into this restaurant for a simple lunch. I ordered the Gosht burger, served by Lia, who is one of the most pleasant servers I’ve come across in a long time. The Gosht Burger, medium well, was the taste that I was missing, as it was juicy and VERY flavorful. The fries were the perfect hue of golden, crispy to the touch and hot and soft on the inside.I can’t wait to come back.“
“Hands down best new edition in Brooklyn right now. My first experience I had the avocado sandwich. When I tell you perfection!! The egg fried just right. The bacon was fresh. And the BREAD!! uugghhh Sometimes the bread on sandwiches can be a hit or miss but just amazing all around.My boyfriend and I enjoyed our meals so much we ordered food to go just to give it a try! Can’t wait to go back.“
“Dinner was great! I went here two nights in a row and ordered the exact same thing. I got the steak au pauve and it was perfect! I ordered a double salad instead of salad and fries and the second night they sent me double fries instead of a salad. They did give me salad after I mentioned the mistake. The first night, they burnt something in the kitchen, the fire alarm went off and the fire department ended up coming. They didn't have us leave the restaurant but it was very loud. I would still go back and enjoy the experience, even with the small issues I had. You should definitely check this place out“
“As soon as I took the first bite of my burger, I could barely keep it together. The feeling of being in NYC for the first time with my wife and 2 daughters was already incredible, and then eating one of the best burgers I’ve ever had was almost too much. It will easily go down as one of the happiest moments of my entire life. I can’t promise the burgers there will do that to you, but if you bring the 3 most important people in the world with you and eat a burger there, good luck not being overwhelmed with happiness.“
Hamburger • $
“I meet the owner was really nice and laid back decided not to change the music after I told him it was appropriate for the area I tried the BBQ bacon cheeseburger it was amazing finally a burger that's not smashed I also tried the macaroni and cheese the different types of cheese are really good but it would be better if it had at least salt and pepper“
“One of my absolute favorite places in the City! My rugby club has been patronizing the Bronx Brewery since they were just the place on 136th in the South Bronx, and we were psyched for the EV location. The burgers and beer are fantastic, but what makes it truly special are the staff that male you feel right at home - shoutout to Taylor and Za, and all the homies!“
“We have spent a few days in New York, and experienced various restaurants and diners. All different, but this place was my favorite. The food was good, but what made the difference was the service. Jerry was adorable! He took great care of us, and it made such a difference. He was really welcoming and even helped me charge my phone. Thank you so much Jerry! I actually do the same job as you in France, so when I am welcomed in such a kind way I appreciate it even more :)“
“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“
“The place is comfortable and above all I love its decoration, the very friendly service and very good attention, what can I say about the delicious burgers, I was satisfied with their exquisite flavor, without a doubt my favorite place to eat burgers ??“
“Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day.We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band.Donovan’s is the real deal.“
“Four of us dined. Three had the ribeye, medium rare, and they were delicious. One had the filet mignon cooked medium. It was overcooked, no pink, and tough. Loaded baked potato and asparagus were fine; nothing special. Chocolate torte and warm butter cake desserts were good. The service was fine; waiter was pleasant. Overall though, prices versus the actual quality/taste received were a bit on the high side.“
“40 mins before lunch service started we were seated right away. Server Kevin was friendly, helpful and very fast with any requests. We enjoyed the food, the French toast was very good and the Brownie Explosion Cheesecake was something I would order again.“
“Well, my girl is Chineese, and she says it it authentic Chineese food, very spicy.She loved it..And if you see a lot of Asians eating in a Chineese restaurant. You know it's good..It's more of a take out, small seating area, not a full size restaurant.“
“Food is really good but I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food. The burgers are great. Staff is friendly. They’re not wrong when they say you should get a double. I had two singles. The regular mash is good and the spicy mash is unique. The honey definitely makes it taste different than other burgers. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu.Parking: Parking is not too bad. Located right at the end of a busy Main Street. Not all of the meters work though“
“The service was immaculate. Ana did a fantastic job at giving us a great experience. It was our first time here and she was attentive, kind, and fun! At the end she let us spin the wheel to win a prize and I got a free soda, but I was a little bummed because I wanted to win a free shot, but she gave me it anyways! Not just the service, but the food was actually really good. It is a lowkey place, but with great food with great portions for a fair price. The drinks were definitely potent as well. We ordered the arepas for 2 that came with nachos, colombian hot dog, premium steak fries that came with a fire show, sangria, and a modelo. Everything was so filling that I had to take most of the food to go. I would recommend this place to everyone!!“
“Walked in thinking it's an Irish bar, walked out having one of the best times ever at any bar. This is a gay bar on steroids but that's what makes it oh so better. I know what you straights are thinking, but this place is Uber welcoming of people from all walks of the road. Probably one of my most favorite random bars of all time. The food was great and priced even better. The staff was Uber friendly and the drinks were top notch. The crowd was the happiest and sweetest crowd of all time. Tbh not a single sour puss! Highly recommend this place for everyone and anyone! The music, the food, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere... all so fun that honestly I kinda wish I was gay now lol. Give this place a shot, you won't regret it!“
“I live in the neighborhood and love this spot for dinner or a night cap. It is truly a never miss spot. They were also gracious enough to host me and some friends for my 30th birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding, the vibes were cozy, and team took amazing care of us!So grateful. You should definitely come here.“
“Preston and Dougie changed my life permanently. After what I could describe as the most grueling week of my life, I decided I should drop by Bodega. It changed my whole week and my life, even. They were so kind, welcoming and professional. I’ve never had service like this; I trust them so much. Thank you to the staff and crew for making such an impact in my life. Sending love from Brazil.“
“As a fervent enthusiast of all things burger-related, I recently embarked on a gastronomic adventure at Bareburger, and I must say, it was an experience worth celebrating. The moment I sank my teeth into their signature burger, I was transported to a realm of culinary bliss.“
“Plnt Burger is absolutely amazing my new favorite place to eat. There chicken sandwich and nuggets reminded me so much like chick fila. Everything tasted very clean and so fresh. Quality of the food is 10/10 and they have a good variety of sauces all are delicious. I highly recommend.“
“We stopped in for dinner before seeing a show. We were hosting a friend who hardly comes into Manhattan. We chose Carla for its off the beaten path location and laid back ambience. Our waiter (and the whole restaurant!) were so inviting. The great service + food added to the great company.“
“As someone with Celiac Disease, it's pretty hard to find good gluten free food, but Wild is 100% gluten free. It was very reassuring knowing I could order anything without restrictions, and on top of that, the food was incredible. I would definitely recommend visiting even if you don't have a gluten allergy.“
“I’m vegan, and my date was vegetarian. The warm (temperature) Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl was great and the Chopped Cheez was really creamy (in a good way).Staff are super helpful if you have menu questions. The decor is bright and colorful, but the lighting inside is not too harsh if you dine in. Would definitely recommend for a light date or to meet friends there.“
“It's the best burger I've ever had in my life.I went twice, the first time I was served by a blonde employee who clearly wanted to be fired. His attention was disastrous and he was not even able to deliver a ticket or confirm that the order was already confirmed.The second time there was another girl who was totally nice.The place is small, there is a bar to eat standing up.“
“These people work so hard. This is a busy location. No complaints on service and food sometimes it's a hit or miss ... but the employers are definitely over worked here and I appreciate their hard work keeping this place together especially in this neighborhood.Kid-friendliness: Happy meals.“
