Came here with wife and friends. Luckily, we made reservations for 5:30 and almost all tables were full. First, we ordered drinks, I had the Winter Margarita, my wife and one our friends had the Winter Martini and a beer for the other. We skipped on apps since we had desert waiting at home. For dinner I had the Tuscan Chicken Panini and the Grilled Chicken Panini, French Dip and a burger for the others. All the food came out in a timely manner, and we enjoyed our meals, delicious and plentiful. My wife and I brought home our leftovers and had them the next day and was still good. Our waitress was awesome, didn't get her name. Bill was reasonable. Hope to return and try some other drinks and food. Highly recommend BK Sweeney's Uptown Grille. read more

Neighborhood gem -- everything is top notch, especially the burgers and traditional pub favorites. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Had dinner with friends at BK Sweeney's on Saturday night. Shout out to the entire staff for a great experience. Bartender was a nice guy who was able to make an espresso martini on request and the maitre d had an outgoing personality who added to the experience. In terms of food, everything was great. One critique.. restaurant should step up their game as it pertains to French fries, they were average but the burger rocked. read more

I went 2 nights ago and the customer service was BEYOND rude! One of the worst experiences I have ever had in a. restaurant , the food was absolutely terrible and I ended up having food poisoning the following day. I also got the wrong food delivered to my table and informed them yet it was still on the bill on the receipt at the end of the night to where I had the owner come and who was also very disrespectful and seemed very incompetent to be an owner, treated me with disrespect as I explained to him that I simply just wanted something removed to them the sheep because I didn't order it, and he escalated the situation. Never go to this restaurant or the staff. read more

Good old fashioned pub food with great drink selection and mature crowd. Everything is reasonably priced and staff is super nice. Great for get together no matter how large your party is. read more

Came here for the brunch special on Sunday and the service was so slow. Also the special came with 2 cocktails but I chose to not have alcohol and ordered a soda but was charged for the soda which very much annoyed me. I should have ordered the drinks and not drank them won't be back read more

Came here multiple times. Got the brunch deal. It came with 2 complimentary drinks and they could be juice, mimosa or Bloody Mary. They also gave us crumb cake that was homemade and tasty! read more

Love B.K Sweeney's BUT stopped going because they hit you with a Covid 3-5-4.0% tax when using a credit card... That is on top of the regular almost 9% tax. Therefore, not paying almost 13% tax to eat with a family of 4-8 people. Plus, we like to tip 20-25%. So, before we sit I'm at a 33% - 38% tax? Not doing that... We usually go with immediate family and/or extended family too. I'm organized with my spending so my card tracks everything and provides data to ensure financial goals are being met. Therefore, even though B.K is my Sons favorite restaurant, not going anymore. It's a lesson on doing what's best for your family. Saying no to additional taxes! Lastly, many other restaurants in gardens city, LI do not add this 4% hammer tax. read more

Had a birthday dinner a few weeks back for my mother and it was an amazing time! We had Anita as our server who was absolutely amazing, top notch service and one of the nicest servers I've ever met. Sweeney's is now on my go to list for whenever I am in the Garden City area read more

Five of us came here and we all ordered burgers. They were cooked the way we requested and we enjoyed. This place has great ambience. I would go back again. read more

I joined 2 friends for brunch. They were already seated when I got there. It took forever to get a server to bring me a menu and order a drink. The service never got better. After what seemed like a 10 minute wait for my drink, it finally arrived. No smile from the server, no nothing. I had steak and eggs. It came with a small order of fries. I have to admit, their food is quite good. The steak was cooked medium rare, the eggs were fresh tasting and the fries were hot. If the service had even come close to the food quality this could have been a 4 or 5 star review. Lastly, our table was never bussed. Our dirty dishes were still on the table after the check had been taken care of. 5 stars for the food, less than 0 stars for the service. read more

We were in town early for lunch but unable to find a restaurant open at 11:30 am to accommodate us until we wandered over the Franklin Ave railroad tracks to discover that B K Sweeny's doors open. The restaurant manager that welcomed us into the restaurant stated that his staff was just preparing to open for lunch. But he was most kind to afford us seating before their formal opening. The restaurant has a traditional sports bar pub ambiance that is welcoming, cozy, and comfortable. The traditional wood bar area has comfortable high top chair seating along with a substantial selection of domestic, import and craft beers. Several flat screens are throughout the restaurant for easy viewing of popular daily sporting events. The menu has many favorable selections that include modern American comfort food classics. The laid-back atmosphere delivers an excellent service staff, delicious menu dishes along with your classic solid bar grub. Where else can you say about enjoying eating J. Gals gourmet mac 'n cheese while watching your favorite sports team in lively Garden City sports bar? Overall, the cozy B.K. Sweeny's restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, wonderful patrons. I will be returning to this restaurant often. No question. read more

Been back here a bunch of times so it's time for an update. I've become a fan! The bar experience is excellent - bartenders, who are most if not all male, are personable and will keep the conversation going- if you want- so you feel welcome. they give you a good pour and are always pleased to take your food order if you want to eat there. The chef still had this thing about cooking potatoes dark brown, but overall the food is good to very good, and they sure know how to cook a steak to requested temperature. Major points there. Good steak too. The Sunday brunch is highly recommended! Generous and delicious entrees, many brunch classics, and all include bottomless brunch cocktails; juice; AND coffee; plus a nice big hunk of fresh coffee cake. Very reasonable brunch prices. The dining room fills up early and you'll realize why. I'm still amazed 36 hours later at the quality of the brunch experience and can't wait to return! read more

I love the ambiance of this place, just feel the friendly vibes when I come here!! Bloody Mary's are delicious, you get two drinks with your brunch choice, they have a nice selection of potatoes with brunch, and the complimentary crumb cake is delicious, I totally enjoyed the steak and eggs - a lot of food ! Very satisfying. Last time I had the breakfast wrap - outrageous read more

Bad night last night on a Thursday night. Our apps took a good 25 mins since we ordered, and my 3 year olds mini cheeseburgers and fries were completely raw in the middle. I didn't send them back because I am afraid. You get a cook in trouble and lord knows what they can do to your food so I managed to scrape enough together from the edges of the two mini burgers so he can eat some of it. Fish tacos were subpar and a tad too fishy but sometimes you get that with swordfish. And my shepherds pie although I liked it was extremely sloppy. There was no layer to it at all and it was all mixed up. I like this place so I'm just going to chalk it up to an off night. I'll be back read more

Service was slow. Had to crane our necks to find our server. One drink made it to the table, the other was forgotten until we reminded them. Food was mediocre. The croutons with the salad were insanely hard. There were 6 triangle slices of French toast that looked like your basic white wonder bread. It tasted reheated and I could have made better at home. The experience and wood was absolutely not worth $26. read more

Reliable pub style food with a bit of a wait. Most pubs are like that so if drinking pints of beer should be fine. read more

I really loved this place. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. The staff is lovely. We only went for some drinks and apps, but everything was excellent. We got chicken meatball sliders and an order of coconut shrimp. I also had an old fashioned that was very good. I would definitely go back. read more

Sat out on the patio to watch the Mets game. It was very pleasant with tasty food and good service. We will return

I'm so glad my fiancé and I checked this place out. Our bartender was Joey and he was very friendly and accommodating. My fiancé ordered the steak and eggs, and rye bread with a side salad for me. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. We also got an order of fries (seasoned just right) qto munch on while drinking. For drinks I got a local IPA (forgot the name of it) and my fiancé got coffee and Michter's rye on rocks. Honestly, every single thing hit our checklist. Food, drink, and service were unremarkable! Will def be back :) read more

The place is decorated so nice for Christmas and the place has a nice ambiance .But my satisfaction ends there... My husbands pork bbq sandwich was so dry he said it sucked the moisture out of his mouth. My French dip was utterly tasteless and unremarkable, as was the au jus. The service was also slow and inattentive. The competing stars of my dish were the pickle chips and the fries which are hand cut but greasy; so I guess the pickle chips win and lose as $17.95 for four thin sliced picked makes them some damn spendy pickle chips! Too many good places here in GC to be back. P.S. - yes, we were caterers, so we know what having a stake in the outcomes mean... read more

Took too long to take our orders and the food took too long to cook... not waiters fault... need to get more help. Too many table for 1 waiter read more

Awful food. I mean, not just meh, but awful. How can an Irish pub not have malt vinegar, for their fish & chips?!?!? They tell you that the Fish & Chips are fresh, but like the chips, they were frozen, and I suspect partially thawed and frozen again. I'm giving the place 2 stars - one for the service and another for fresh Guinness. read more

Great food. Super friendly staff. Unfortunately we had to contend with a family that felt it was ok for their kids to run across chairs, break glasses, then when they left, like spoiled brats, the "adults" knocked over all the glasses spilling liquid all over the tables. The "adults" didn't even have common sense or courtesy to apologize after pushing a chair into you while in the midst of a full blown temper tantrum - while searching for the coat their kid left behind. Parenting at its finest.....NOT. Otherwise....Appetizers, meals, drinks & free dessert were amazing! Thank you BK Sweeney's for a great night! **ADD-ON*** Oh my. I have to laugh. The brat table also left a review....then edited it to bash the group I was with. Her profile is from CA but we were the out of towners that complained about her kids. We didn't. Only thing I did was point out to hostess that one of the kids threw a glass on floor & it shattered. Again, like a spoiled brat, resorts to name calling & bashing. But not one time did she even remotely try to dispute their actions. Nope. Appease brats & blame everyone around them. Frickin' millennials! read more

One of the best burgers that I've ever eaten. The rest of the menu is delicious too. The only problem was you need to make reservations. Plenty of Parking in the rear. read more

BKs is my go-to burger spot! Delicious and generous. KC loves their Wisconsin burger with cheddar cheese and bacon. I like the burger with blue cheese and mushrooms. Pair with a cold craft beer. Substitute sweet potato fries for regular fries. Service is always great. Did I say that I like it? Ambiance is great American bar. read more

Used to live in GC so when I came up to visit, I went to dinner with another neighborhood friend. Great atmosphere, although a bit crowded, but that's because the food is very good, this is no Leo's. I had a burger and my friend had the skirt steak, we also had the spicy shrimp, all served hot and tasted great. I'll be back read more

Came here for Sunday brunch, and the restaurant decor was OK. They also offered indoor and outdoor seating. This place is a little upscale- the dress code requires gentlemen to dress in a button down or regular shirt. No tank tops/cut-off shirts allowed. The parking is good. It is a parking lot located at the back of the restaurant, and as a result of that the hostess area is also in the back. The service was good and our waitress was nice. The food was subpar. My partner order the French toast. The serving size is good, but the French toast didn't taste fresh- it had a similar taste to the frozen brands you can buy at the grocery store. I ordered the eggs Benedict- it was just OK. Not the best I've ever had and not the worst. The side order of bacon was probably the best thing there along with the crumble cake you get in the beginning. Pros: unlimited mimosas, bloody Mary's and screwdrivers. The price is great for what is included. Definitely an affordable place to get a boozy brunch. HOWEVER, there is very minimum alcohol in the drinks. read more

BKSUG definitely took me by surprise...in the best way. I live locally and don't frequent the bars or eateries along Franklin Avenue. I visited last night with my fellow yelp bestie Brandon. L and he really never steers me wrong with new spots. When we arrived the entrance patio was decorated with adorable Valentine's Cupid decor. This theme was carried out throughout this "cheers" style pub. I'm normally not a fan of pubs but I really enjoyed this spot. There were a lot of regulars getting together to enjoy sports and beers. We started off with a nice Old Fashioned. B.L suggested we order the Calamari and I'm so glad he did ! I'm very picky and don't eat seafood from places that are not well.. SEAFOOD restaurants. Their calamari ... was PERFECTION. Fresh fish aroma, thickly cut, nice lightly fried batter. No bad aftertaste of oil. I couldn't stop eating ! Next we moved on to Round 2 where we feasted on Boneless Buffalo Wings a pint glass Blue moon and B.L is low key bougie, so he ordered a Manhattan. The wings were pretty good, considering the kitchen was closing. They were served in " Wenzel" sauce. Our Bartender J.P was the best. He shared with us the special ingredient to these wings. The wings were not drenched to B.L's liking, so he doctored up a special sauce of his own mixing Crystal and Wenzel hot sauce. Maybe next time B won't be too shy to ask for the wings " Extra Wet". They were Perfection ! This place also keeps an extensive stash of different kinds of Hot Sauce ! Cholola, Crystal, Tabasco and our new dear friend Wenzel ! The Key to my heart is Hot Sauce. JP is one of the best bartenders. His drinks are strong and perfectly garnished ! He was attentive and kind the whole night. He was even kind enough to give a mini box of Russell Stover's chocolates ! Very classy B.K Sweeney ! I will be back. This is definitely the kind of place like Cheers where everybody knows your name. read more

Ahhhhh it's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a doap review to Yelp to. (Yes I did write that. You're already laughing) So in my spare time or when I just don't feel like going to work I drive for Uber and Lyft. On many summer nights last year I made hella pick ups and drop offs here. EVERYONE was always so faded and happy. Soooooo since it was Valentine's day and my girlfriend was spending it with her husband I felt it was my duty to not be a lonely washed up loser alone. Just then my good friend M. Extra money called- she be lonely too... -After waiting 4 hours for her to put her hair in a bun we were out!- Pulled up to the spot and we were happily greeted by a smiling middle aged woman. Happy ppl are cool man I tell ya... We sat down at the bar, I get right to it and order an old fashioned, that's how I test bartenders. M extra followed suit and got the same thing (she wanna be like me on the low). J.P. (nicknamed J.P. Morgan Chase) was our bartender a REALLY cool dude with clean fingernails who didn't have to Google how to make my drink. Just asked "what brand do you want?" - that's a knowledgeable guy right there- Makers btw... The drinks were great and M. wasted no time being tipsy. She weak. In the meantime she gave me flack about wanting calamari. I'm not easily influenced so I ordered them anyway. Maaaaaan listen... This girl ate more than I did, because they were super bomb!! Y'all gotta eat them! Like all of them! Next it was time for round 2, blue moon for my lightweight and a Manhattan for myself. I'm that kinda man. Don Draper schooled me. (some get it, some won't, IDC- pick a shrug) we ordered the boneless wings, they were hella good too and the homie J.P.M.C. Gave me every hot sauce in the spot even the house buffalo sauce. Of course I chose the crystal hot sauce (it's cultural) but mixed it with the house stuff, pictures below it was next level. ***Highlight of the night*** We were taught the history of the house sauce by J.P. who may or may not have accidentally dropped a brand new unopened bottle in the homies purse by intentional mistake. J.P. is by far the MAN! Long review less long... This bar is great for cool people who like other cool people to make their drinks on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night when the homie J.P.M.C. is working. PS... That whole giving us a bottle thing might've probably never happened and should not cost J.P. his job if it did probably happen. Which it certainly probably didn't not happen. It happened... Chiiiiillll don't tell the people. My name is Brandon, I write the best reviews. You like them. read more

Great restaurant!!! The food is always delicious, the staff is the friendliest and the atmosphere is awesome! Tried nearly everything on the menu and the food never disappoints! Best ever spinach/ artichoke dip!!! read more

Honestly, after today, I don't think I'm ever going to come back here. The houses were nice. The food was OK the problem here today was the service I came here with my fiancé to get some brunch and we ordered our food and then we didn't see the waitress for the entire time the bus boys said more words to me and my fiancé then the waitress did today and after we were done with our food, we waited 30 minutes for the check I could've walked out because she never came back to check up on us I had to find her, then I paid I left and I don't think I'm ever coming back here and I'm in my mid 20s and she was checking up on every single other table that she had except for ours I'm in the restaurant industry as well aren't we supposed to give the service to each guest that walks through each other's doors, apparently not with some servers read more

The food was amazing and the staff were nice and friendly! The portions were sizable and the prices were fair.

Love coming here. Especially for brunch. The food here is always delicious and flavorful there's never really any complaint that I have. They have a fairly large menu so there is always something for everyone to eat. The hamburgers are great and pilled high. Their French fries are crispy and never soggy. They have a full bar which is a nice option to have. On Saturdays and Sundays they have brunch, bottomless mimosas. Who doesn't love bottomless mimosas. If you go with a large group of people I would suggest either going early or before the dinner rush that usually starts around 5:30-6. There is parking behind the restaurant and that's my best suggestion. If you go for your birthday they even get you your own brownie sundae. This is a nice place to come with anyone. read more

Great atmosphere, great drinks and friendly staff. I was told the food a little better than bar food but I would have to disagree. We didn't have anything that was considered bar food and all was fabulous. The Shepard's pie and the chicken pot pie (which I am a stickler for and have tried in many places). The chicken pot pie was simply delicious. There were many huge chunks of white chicken meat....and I mean MANY pieces of chicken meat. They didn't skimp. All three of had to pitch in to finish it the entire pie but it was very good. I would come here again even if for the chicken pot pie. read more

Came here for brunch the other day and was very impressed. The complimentary mimosa's, screwdrivers and bloody Mary's was a nice touch. We sat outside and I was impressed how clean the restaurant kept it. I ordered the 12 ounce steak with scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes which was amazing.

Food was good and service was good The hostess was RUDE. Three of us were there an hour and 15 minute had drinks appetizer and dinner. We were paying the check and finishing our drinks when the hostess (older short woman) said we were holding her up. We understand they have to turn the tables over but there were at least 2 open tables. Really disappointing. read more

Had lunch at BK for first time in over a year. It has always been a place for good service, nice atmosphere the tasty food. All of that was still the case. The shock was the lunch menu prices - understandably perhaps given Biden inflation and GC location. The icing on the cake was the 4% added charge to use a credit card. This is kinda like airline baggage fees and various other "sneak" charges by other service entities. Restaurants have grown their businesses over the years via the use of patron credit cards. Now to cover their added costs, they layer on credit card surcharges. It's simply wrong and leaves people with a sour taste in their mouths, regardless of how tasty the food may have been. read more
