My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

Reservations open 2 weeks in advance around 10am and they go super fest so I recommend you try for the day you need as for me I could only have gotten brunch on a Sunday. Those people spam the crap out of their buttons for the dinner spots and when I went I can see why. The place is brimming with old school New York charm and it's completely overwhelmingly beautiful and has an old jazzy vibe to it. It's large and spacious and they sat us in the middle of the entire restaurant. (I had a group of 6) The vibe was so good you don't really want to leave and they also don't really kick you out. I think we were the last ones to exit for brunch but they were so nice they didn't kick us out. Their espresso martinis are ok. It wasn't as amazing as a regular cocktail bar but it is just ok. We started off with a shrimp cocktail, smoked whitefish Caesar salad and the two plates of truffle monkey bread which was soooo good. I really enjoyed this as it's the main reason we came here. It's almost like a honey dinner roll with truffle. We got everything next which some people got their own and some shared. Some people got their own American breakfast platter which was some overdone eggs and a meat with gigantic toast and if you only order scrambled eggs it comes in a bowl but I would much rather order their classics like steak sandwich and the spicy shrimp was pretty good! Fries are top tier! I can see why people just come here for dinner. I would give it mostly 5 stars for the overall ambiance and environment and a few classics. I think their old fashioned is better than their espresso martinis though even though it looks so good in this type of setting! It's hard to get a reservation though so next time I'll need to try some new things if I score another!

We got there pretty early and I wish that we had gone on a day they had breakfast. The breakfast photos caught my eye.

We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

He took the time to listen to our concerns and invited our group back so we could give their group another chance. While I still stand by how our initial experience made us feel, I also think it's important to acknowledge when a business owner responds with professionalism and genuinely works to rebuild trust. Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.

Two-part, proper settle, tight dome, no rushing it. That's rarer than it should be in Midtown where half the bars treat a stout like a lager. Whoever's behind the bar here has been trained or grew up around it. Food's better than a second-floor pub between 5th and 6th has any right to be. The JRB burger comes on a house-ground patty (they grind in-house, and you can tell, loose texture, actual seasoning), caramelized onions cooked down all the way, not just softened, good cheese pull. Fried pickles on the side had a crisp cornmeal shell and stayed crunchy under the burger juices, which never happens. Buttermilk chicken salad was the surprise. Chicken actually brined, crust stayed on, greens weren't an afterthought. Only real knock: music was loud. Not sports-bar loud, more like the bartender's playlist got away from him. Fine at the bar, harder at a table if you want to talk. Room's got real bones. Reclaimed barn wood, old rail track as a foot rest, that big 45-star flag on the wall. Been here almost 20 years and it's aged into itself. For the neighborhood the pricing's fair. Beats P.J. Clarke's on the burger, loses on quiet. Go for a beer and a burger, not a date.

Now this is a place that is meant for perfection. The burgers are perfect. Everything is amazing on their burgers. Its so tasty. I love how the cheese melts right in your mouth when you take a bit. The fries are perfect. The way fries should be. The burger is perfectly set to the buns. I get pickles, cheese, mayo, ketchup and I am in heaven. The price is not high and they load you up on fries. Avoid coming here for lunch it gets crazy packed so I come at 11 am. You need to have one of these burgers because it will leave you wanting to come back here again and again. read more

I understand that the employee was doing the best they could under the circumstances, but the estimated pickup time was clearly unrealistic. I ordered the #1 with coleslaw instead of fries. Since I was already running late and needed to get back to my office, I did not check the food before leaving. It was not until I returned to the office that I realized I had been given the wrong order, even though the label on the package clearly listed my correct order. If you choose to dine-in, it is a very small space with only 4-6 tables inside. Between the long delay and receiving the wrong food, this was a frustrating experience.

Now that's a Taco Bell!…read more Me and my friends are pretty obsessed with Taco Bell menu items these days, so when I spent the day in NYC and saw there was a Cantina right where I'd be, I knew I had to stop in! And we were absolutely thrilled. Alcoholic Baja Blasts, legendary stuff. The ordering kiosks were relatively typical of most Taco Bells. Simple, easy service, and the staff quickly called out my name. I ordered a Baja Blast with vodka, so they checked my ID and then handed me the drink. Getting a seat took a bit, but I snagged a booth once someone left and was able to enjoy my meal sitting down. There's definitely not enough space for a busy hour like the time I went though (4pm on a Sunday). The food was typical Taco Bell food. The nacho fries obviously delicious, doritos locos taco was great. We did run into some trouble with getting water--it was hard to get ahold of the employees, and then when we did, they told us they could not give us any free water cups. I'm not sure if that's common in NYC, but it was upsetting that we weren't able to get water from this location even after buying a meal and paying.

Despite the chaos this Taco Bell was decently clean. The food order came out correctly, I appreciated that there was a ton of sauce packets and napkins filled up at one station so that it was easy to grab what you needed. This is a Taco Bell Cantina, so you can also order beers and alcoholic Baja Blasts if that's your vibe. If you're craving Taco Bell while walking through Times Square, this will do just fine.
