A surprisingly strong meal overall, with a few clear standouts. The calamari was genuinely on point well-cooked (not chewy). The Canadian bacon was another highlight and absolutely not to be missed. The Caesar salad was enjoyable. For the main, I ordered the filet mignon medium-rare and it came out tasting great the butter on top really worked and added a rich finish. The meal ended on a high note with an excellent dessert. The cheesecake was delicious. The whipped cream was a perfect complement, light and fresh. The service was excellent from start to finish. The waitstaff were attentive, professional, and consistently present without being intrusive. Each course arrived with impeccable timing. read more

I've been coming to Ben & Jack's every couple of weeks for the last several months. The bar menu with the $18 burger is the best dry aged burger value I've found in NYC (I've tried a lot of burgers). It's delicious. As good as Red Hook in Brooklyn in flavor and way better in value. The wine pours are generous. It's quiet at the bar. Probably the most underrated NYC steakhouse I've found. Tuna tartare and steak sandwich are on point. Bartender is friendly. Don't just come once! read more

Our dine-and-learn organizer from work selected this fancy steakhouse, and we saw the reason why. Upon check-in, we were escorted to the basement area of the restaurant, where a few private event rooms are located. For appetizers, we were served thick-cut Canadian bacon, fried calamari with marinara sauce, and fresh mozzarella with beefsteak tomato. It was then followed by Caesar salad, and I selected a medium-well filet mignon served with sautéed broccoli, spinach, and mashed potatoes. We capped the night with an assorted dessert platter of fruits, cheesecakes, and chocolate cake. For work events, I found their system very efficient and very event-oriented. The staff are close by and available if you need anything. I will come back to this place to try other dishes on their menu. read more

We couldn't resist making a reservation and Ben & Jack's for dinner on account of their restaurant week deal. It's one of the best ones going. The staff were warm and attentive. I started off with an excellent steakhouse sized martini and my daughter had a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. There was a solid bread basket. We split a Cesar salad and baked clams to start, which were really good. My daughter had lamb chops, which she loved. I had a very good sirloin steak, cooked to order with crispy French fries. Desserts were OK. We had a really nice dinner here. If you are in the mood for some red meat, the restaurant week deal is excellent. read more

Very friendly staff with lots of attention. Constantly asking if everything was ok. Participated in the restaurant week special. Appetizers chosen were: Caesar salad, fried calamari with Marinara sauce, baked clams, and French onion soup. Main entrees chosen were: T-bone steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli, lamp chops with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, and seafood pasta. Lastly desserts were either cheesecake or chocolate mousse cake. All of the food were nicely prepared with no issues. The steaks were precut for ease of eating. Lamb chops were 3 pieces - small to medium sizes. The pasta was ok and tasted better the next day. Masculine decor since it's a steakhouse. One of the better deals for restaurant week since the amount of food is enough to give you a feeling that you're getting your money's worth. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite steakhouses in NY, the vibe is really nice inside, they have cool displays and pictures, and the service is great. We got the same server as last year we came here, he was really nice and kept up on waters. The food is really good, definitely recommend the Filet Mignon, and the lunch menu is really nice. Prices are a little high though. read more

Great experience! The dirty martini was made perfectly balanced! Excellent and courteous staff and lovely ambiance within the restaurant. I was there for a first date and although there was no romantic connection. My date and I were thrilled to be there engaging in deep conversations as friends in an environment that offered great food and pleasant vibes. I will be back perhaps on my own as the martinis were made perfectly balanced and a big plus for the attentive staff that addressed even the mildest comments or concerns. Special thank you to our waiter who paid attention to the details. read more

Yesterday I brought CT friends to Ben & Jacks for lunch. The space always impresses, clean professional, dark woods, comfortable seating. This was great. The waitstaff was fully engaged to make our lunch special. Overall stellar service. We ordered from the fixed price menu. Two of us opted for the Filet and the 3rd opted for the 12 oz Sirloin. The oysters we ordered were outstanding. The green salads were underdressed and underwhelming. The filets were cooked perfectly med rare and seasoned well. The sirloin got a rave. The mashed potatoes made us smile. The broccoli could have been left off the plate. Oysters, Steak and potatoes earned a solid 5-stars. The salad and broccoli earned a sad 2-stars. Still an excellent dining experience. Next time I'll go back to ordering ala carte. read more

I went here with my 3 friends for restaurant week. I got the baked clams which was very good I wanted more. Everyone said their appetizers were good Caesar salad and calamari. We all got the sirloin steak medium comes with mash and broccoli. Steak was delicious and the broccoli was crunchy just how I love it. Restaurant week portion was a good size for $60. Service was good our waiter was a very good help made sure we had everything. Told us about the wine specials they had going on for the day. Ambiance was beautiful the decor was very inviting the cool fire place on the tv playing from YouTube lol. Very spacious restaurant and wasn't packed at 6pm. I would recommend this steak to try read more

Stopped here for lunch , it's your typical business oriented steakhouse . High prices and not impressed with the quality of the food . Prob not returning , there's way to many options to go back there . The ambiance is mostly men in suits expensing their lunches / meals nothing to rave about . Stay away from the Ben & Jack salad it's a joke . Service was good though just as you'd expect of a high price steakhouse read more

B&J is a classic midtown NYC steakhouse. Service is good, and the space is a nice balance between classic and relaxed. I know that steak is what they are known for but I was not feeling in the mood for beef, so I opted for the Ben & Jack's Salad. I was sadly, disappointed: it was OK but the chicken was chewy and it was underdressed. Also the rolls were not terribly fresh. I am giving 3 stars as the service was very solid and I recognize that I probably ordered the wrong thing. read more

There are NY steakhouses that slap, and those that are overrated. This one slaps. Classy, well appointed setting with the feel of a classic steakhouse, great menu, and good sides. It's all you need! We started off with the bacon and clams, both of which were very tasty. Then we split a steak for two which was cooked perfectly medium rare. Our sides were sauteed spinach and mushrooms. Both were very good. We indulged on a carrot cake for dessert, which we would normally skip, but this was worth the calories. Will be back to try other apps and some potatoes. See ya there. read more

We split bacon, calamari and burrata. The bacon was so good. I don't know how to buy such thick pieces of bacon and cook them in a way that they don't shrivel. The calamari needed to be crispier. My filet mignon was deliciously cooked. I could actually taste the butter. The sides of broccoli and spinach were conventional. What I loved was the post dinner coffee. It was medium roasted without any bitterness and went down sooo smoothly. This is a good option for a classic steakhouse without frills. read more

Came recommended by the concierge at our hotel. He was WRONG! Overpriced, and char burnt. Cooked properly inside but charcoal on the outside. Lots of fat to be trimmed as well. Typical steak house that charges too much for your steak and makes you pay for potatoes and vegetables as well. I've had better and more flavorful steaks at the chains like Longhorn and Texas Roadhouse. Don't waste your money. read more

Restaurant week prix fixe menu. Started with calamari, main course NY sirloin aka NY strip, served with bone attached and sliced in kitchen. Mashed potatoes, broccoli, ordered additional sautéed mushrooms. Cheesecake and coffee for dessert. Best thing was the mushrooms. The steak was dry aged and flavorful with the bone attached, grilled, BUT... they OVERCOOKED it. Medium rare is NOT a pink center! Unforgivable for a steakhouse at this price point. read more

09/20/23: Took my sister for her birthday. Decor has an upscale intimate feel. Staff very welcoming. Our server very attentive and gave good recommendations. Food was pretty good. My sister loved her Malbec. Appetizer: we shared the avocado crab salad, very fresh and yummy. Mains: I had the B&J seafood pasta. Needed a bit more flavor but the portion was large. My sister had the Cajun rib eye steak which she thoroughly enjoyed. We also shared the lobster mac n cheese, tasty she likes it baked I prefer creamy so it more of a hit to her. Dessert: I notified staff it was her birthday so they sang to her when they brought out the apple strudel. Not big fan but I must say it was amazing. The texture, the crust the apples all aligned perfectly. The only thing to make it perfect it was served with ice cream instead of whipped cream. All in all very nice dining experience. Bonus: made reservations via seated so you know it.. received seated dollars on the pretax amount. Ching Ching.. read more

I had dinner here with friends and family. The place was nice. The staff was very friendly. The food, however, was just ok for the price. The appetizers were delicious. They had a great wine list. The porterhouse steaks, which were supposed to be the stars of the evening, were mediocre. The cook on the steaks was inconsistent. On our side of the table, the steak was cooked alright. On the other side of the table, they were a bit overcooked or not as tender. Flavor-wise, it was the same. Our steaks were good enough not to require sauce. The other side was the opposite. All-in-all, the place was alright. It is a good spot, if you have the wallet for it. read more

When you walk into a dead restaurant in nyc - just walk out. Service was ok- food was horrible. The bread was at least a day old and if they even attempted to warm it up it may have helped- but they didn't Calamari was just ok - Chicken Parmesan was horrible. It must have been breaded long ago because it was basically cured- hard and rubbery. Sauce looked and tasted like ketchup Pasta up top was ok Bottom was watery. To top it off as I walked out the maitre d' didn't even acknowledge me I just don't understand how as a restaurant if a guest orders chicken Parmesan you just got a pass- how hard is it to pound out and bread some chicken to order Taste the chicken Ben and jacks - it sucks !!! read more

My girlfriend & I come here every single week for drinks, appetizers, sometimes a meal, and always dessert. The last couple weeks were busy so we haven't been in, but I can't begin to explain how deep our love runs for Ben & Jack's and the love we have for the staff, especially Dino and Julio. The space is always so peaceful, no matter how many people are in there, and I find myself expressing my gratitude for every aspect of our experience there in most of my conversations that involve going out to eat or hospitality in general. You can't leave without trying the chocolate mousse, but if that's not your style everything else is PERFECT down to the complimentary bread and butter. I will never stop raving about this place. I'm writing this review as I'm thinking about it on a Monday morning lol. What a gem of a place in the heart of the city. read more

I went to Ben & Jacks for my cousins bday dinner. I loved the calm ambiance and dim lighting. The music was also soft and relaxing. We shared the calamari, baked clams and Cesar salad for the appetizers. The calamari were seasoned perfectly and the clams were sooo good I could have eaten them by myself. I ordered the rib-eye medium rare and it melted in my mouth so worth it. I tried my husbands chicken Parm and it was also very good! The mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were chefs kiss. The macaroni and cheese was also good. I also had the asparagus but wasn't a huge fan because it was just steamed. We also got a dessert sample platter and the carrot cake was so soft it melted in my mouth. The tiramisu was also delicious. The staff was friendly and the service was great. They didn't hover and no one was rude. read more

What a ridiculously great dinner, the first with both my parents since July 2017. This steakhouse is basically one of the few that gave from Peter Luger. We began with the baked clams oreganato, we hadn't had these kind of clams in years. They were so good we ordered an extra half dozen. And of course, the sizzling thick cut bacon, nearly a full inch thick, 8 bucks a slice. Take some of that bacon, their tomato and onion salad, and add a little of the house sauce, which was kind of like a cocktail sauce with slightly sweet tanginess, and every taste sense gets engaged.  And then of course, the porterhouse steak. Sliced into large pieces, served on a ripping hot plate, which was slightly tilted on the table so the steak juices and butter could accumulate at the bottom of the dish. Pure heaven, the most tender, perfectly aged Porterhouse.  And the sides. The hand cut steak fries didn't even need a dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, nicely seasoned. And the creamless creamed spinach, wow. This tasted like sauteed olive oil and garlic spinach but and the smooth silky taste of creamed spinach. I'm not sure how they did it, but I may have to work on figuring that one out. Bottle of Napa Pinot Noir for 65 bucks was wonderful.  Staff was wonderfully accommodating between making recommendations, taking our picture, and offering us complimentary glasses of port wine. read more

So if you are in New York and want an absolutely fabulous steak dinner you really need to do what I did. Go to Ben and Jacks steakhouse. The sirloin steak at $67 is enough to feed 2 people. Add fries and creamed spinach at about $25 total and you have e the best steak you can buy in NY for about $47 per Person! Epic!! The bar staff are really friendly and very helpful And the whole vibe of the place is brilliant. I have been to so many other top branded steak houses and paid 2-3 times as much for the same quality! Ask yourself why would you do that? Btw it is not a chain and is family run and it shows in the care and quality of service. I hope you enjoy! read more

Went here on whim and sat at the bar. Had no idea of the history. The bartenders and wait staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive. The food did not disappoint at all. One of the top steakhouses in the city for sure. read more

I slipped into Ben & Jacks to try the restaurant week lunch special. I grabbed a bar stool, and I ordered a glass of Malbec to unwind. I started with Baked Clams. They were delicious. I ordered a Filet Mignon as my entre. It wasn't spectacular. I finished with a slice of Cheesecake. It was good, not great. For $45 I'd consider this a great deal. read more

Made reservations online just in case. Once we walked in we were seated right away. Within a couple of seconds the server brought us water. They had a special going on for a $60 per person and you can choose and appetizer, main meal and dessert. Each only had a 3-4 choice to choose from. We were going to get the steak for 3 but since we all like our steak cooked differently I would say it worked out good. Service was great and food was amazing. Everything was 10/10 and would definitely come back again. read more

We went here for a Valentine's Day special with prix fixe menu with some options from the main menu as well. For decor and ambiance it definitely felt like a standard steakhouse you would find in NYC; greeted by a bar and hostess when you walk in with high ceilings and white cloth and place settings throughout the dining room covered with dark wood accents. Nice and classy overall but nothing that really stood out. We had early reservations to make a Broadway show so we were seated right away. Of note this restaurant is about 14 minutes driving distance from Broadway without heavy traffic. Our waiter was phenomenal and so friendly and accommodating throughout our meal. We both opted for the filet (which was huge!) for our entree. Appetizers included calamari and shrimp cocktail. Glasses of champagne as well as some cocktails for drinks and crème brûlée for dessert. Cocktails included the ben and jacks Martini and an old fashioned, both were good. The martini included Absolut vodka, malibu rum, pineapple juice and a splash of cranberry juice ( the vodka definitely came through). The calamari was excellent to me , almost had like a fried chicken batter taste to it that I thought was delicious. The rings were very tender and perfect with the marinara sauce. The shrimp cocktail was exactly what it was supposed to be , chilled large shrimp with cocktail sauce. On to the steak. Again the cut was a huge portion and even with its size was cooked perfectly. The only thing that put me off a bit about this steak house is that they set all the tables with steak sauce , albeit it was their own brand but still not what I expected from a somewhat pricey steakhouse in NYC. The steak flavor was a bit lacking so maybe that explains the steak sauce but it was very juicy and tender so overall I enjoyed it. The frites were also quite yummy. The crème brûlée needed a bit of work. Very eggy, unfortunately did not have to texture of standard crème brûlée. I'd say if you were looking for a standard steak house with great service this would be a good place to visit. Definitely had a comfortable feel overall which I appreciated because I know for me sometimes I get intimated by steakhouses but this one was very inviting. read more

Had a great experience here tonight at restaurant week! A great selection was available on their menu and their service was fantastic. It took a little while to have our waiter (Dino) to come along but once we asked he immediately came to service us and apologized. We were offered wine (glasses or full bottles) on the house and we ended up having 2 total. Ordered both of our steaks medium Baked clams: good and flavorful, was a little burnt in some areas Fried calamari: nice and crisp. Squid was bouncy and tasted really fresh Petite filet mignon: very tender, taste was perfect Dry aged NY ribeye: also very flavorful and cooked perfectly The manager also added on a 25% discount for the inconvenience caused at the beginning which was completely unexpected and very nice of him to do. Dino provided great service for the rest of the night. We took our dessert to go ( NY cheesecake and chocolate mousse cake). Definitely looking forward to dining here again! read more

Restaurant week goals! Steak house! After a long week nothing better to wind down than with a lovely steak dinner. We were drawn in immediately with the old school steakhouse vibe inside. Definitely very busy for restaurant week. Service was excellent. Apps- Calamari and French Onion soup. Both were solid. The calamari was fresh but just a hair in the tougher side. The accompanying marinara sauce was delicious. So fresh tasting. Mains- we got the filet mignon and the aged sirloin. Both accompanied by a get our portion of mashed potato and broccoli. Delicious. Cooked to perfect and pre sliced which was nice. Even more so, they was very little extra fat that often steakhouses will leave on. But not here. Both were tender and delicious. Side- fries! Steak fries cut. Wowza this was actually my favorite thing of the night. The best fries I've had come from Peter Lugers. So when I tried these I was immediately transported back to that Moment. These are thinner but lends itself to be more crispy. But the potato they use has to be similar because it was so incredibly delicious. Fries are a must. Dessert- the chocolate mousse cake and cheesecake were phenomenal. Side of whipped cream. Just perfection. I would certainly get both again Wine- we did the wine by the bottle. Delicious and priced especially for restaurant week. Would I come back? Yes. Was it an excellent value for restaurant week. Absolutely! read more
