This is the solid, late-night, hold-you-down spot. First of all, best thing on the menu is the…read moreMILKSHAKES! Kind of impossible for me to walk outta here without one. And they have Oreo, which is the flavor pretty much anyone selling milkshakes should have. I walked out sipping on one in 50 degree weather, and I don't do that, I GET COLD. Next, I've saved you the trouble of sampling most of the menu. FISH SANDWICH? Don't be sketched out, it checks out. Nice thick filet. No food poisoning after. Chicken sandwich? MmMmmM, good enough to reheat days later because I couldn't finish it. The portions here are sizeable. Regular ol' smashburger? Solid. LEMON PEPPER WINGS? Not a dry-rub, but hey, the sauce is pretty comforting and inviting. And I can confirm I wasn't even drunk when I ate most of this, so it really is sober tasty. Super chill, friendly staff, and there's always been seating when we needed it. My dance studio is like 2 blocks away so they gonna see my face often enough. Of course I love the graffiti train design on the wall. I now have to figure out which selection in the burger-fish-chicken rotation I want when I come here. Oreo milkshake non-negotiable.

My friends and I stumbled into BK Jani on a rainy day, just seeking out shelter, but we were met…read morewith a great meal. The Jani Burger was amazing, perfectly cooked, with great pakistani flavor, and it was refreshing not to have a smash burger for once. The lamb chops were also cooked to perfection, perfect medium rare, super tender and very flavorful. The Nihari sandwich was also great, however I wish there was a little more unique flavor to it. The masala fries are alright, but I'd say you can skip those. On top of the great food, this service was even better. The staff was so friendly, checking in on us and even offering us a free mango lassi drink. The restaurant itself is comfortably casual with heat lamps inside, which is nice to have on a cold day, I imagine. i definitely recommend!

Not sure this place is it for me. Came in on a Sunday and the house was packed so my wife and I…read moreordered takeout. Took about 15min or so to get which was fine. We at this on the sidewalk so it was still fresh when we got it. But for us the food just didn't hit. I recognize it's fusion, but maybe the way things were meant to be balanced didn't mesh. The (impossible burger patty) lahori felt quite bland. Maybe because the burger patty was so thick, but it just kind of was overwhelmed by generic beef patty taste which wasn't what I was expecting. The nihari had some really good flavor, but I found the bread was somehow both quite dry and soggy at the same time. It's hard to describe, but I felt like it was working against the actual nihari flavor. Sadly I do think something like naan or basmati rice would've been better. The fries were pretty unremarkable, too. Just tasted like fries you'd get at your local bodega. I don't expect the wheel to be reinvented when it comes to fusion restaurants, but I just felt nothing actually balanced themselves well (at least for what we ordered). For $50 pre-tip, I'm a bit disappointed. This place has been on my hit list for a while, but I can't see myself wanting to go back. Staff was friendly and the space, albeit small, can fit groups of 2-4 pretty easily. I have a few friends that really like this place, so maybe I'm just the odd one out.

After a salsa social on the cusp of Chinatown at 1:00 am, my friend insisted he needed a burger…read more First, I expressed my disbelief at the fact that we were surrounded by late night authentic Chinese food and this dude wanted a BURGER. Then, I surrendered with a "WELL FIND A BURGER PLACE THAT'S OPEN THEN, FRANKIE." And this is how I discovered Flat Out Burger. The second we walked in we were greeted by the mouthwatering smell of beef. Somehow it was empty around 1:30am on a Saturday, Knicks-winning night. GREAT because it meant my group of 3 immediately claimed the small counter space, and revelers started flocking in maybe a half hour later. The options here are burgers, fries, soft drink/water only. Not even a milkshake option. Not even a BACON option on the burger. But I immediately knew this burger would be great because of how limited the menu was. This was their specialty. So I ordered my single little basic Classic burger, no onions or pickles, with a side of fries and a Coke in a glass bottle and I sank my teeth into juicy beefy goodness and tasty fries and chatted with my friends, like an old-school high-school sitcom and then walked the streets of NYC watching the spirited celebrations of the Knicks win. Good choice; come here for a no-frills burger.

Decent burger and good service…read more I stopped by here a few weeks ago. The guy at the counter was nice. I only ordered the burger, I believe it was the jalapeño variety. Burger was good, jalapeños were nice as also with a nice sauce as well. The only disappointment that was lacking was the beef. I wish I had a burger that showcased more of the beef flavor. It lacked that beefy flavor and maybe the components were too much because I couldn't really taste the actual burger. Overall decent, might give them another try in the future 3/5

This was my first visit to Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken since its acquisition by The Wonder Group. The…read moremost noticeable change is the ordering process: the self-service kiosks are gone, replaced by actual staff taking orders. It's a small but welcome improvement. More importantly, the food remains outstanding. New York City's fried chicken scene has exploded over the past five years, with no shortage of excellent options, but Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken continues to hold its place among the city's best. The brand's roots stretch back much further than its 2013 fast-casual debut. Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken was launched by chef brothers Eric and Bruce Bromberg as a standalone concept in Manhattan's East Village, but its signature fried chicken originated at their legendary Blue Ribbon Brasserie in SoHo. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, the brothers opened the Brasserie in 1992, where their matzah-meal-breaded fried chicken drizzled with wildflower honey quickly became one of the restaurant's most celebrated dishes and earned national acclaim. Recognizing the popularity of the dish, the Brombergs opened Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken in 2013 as a dedicated fast-casual concept. The East Village flagship combined fine-dining technique with a laid-back, fast-food atmosphere, serving its famous fried chicken. In February 2026, The Wonder Group acquired Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken, making it the company's first full acquisition of an independent restaurant brand. Based on this visit, Wonder appears to have followed the golden rule of restaurant acquisitions: improve the ordering experience if you must, but don't mess with the chicken.

Hey friends! I could smell this spot on my walk to the train station so decided to stop in lol. I…read morecould smell the seasoned chicken! I'm not a fan of chicken but the smell was very tempting. Blue Ribbon is a fast casual spot know for their chicken. I ordered the smash burger. It comes with lettuce, tomato, their special sauce and American cheese. I can't say that I would go back. It lacked a lot of flavor and was underwhelming. I did enjoy the smoky taste from the grill though. +Customer service was friendly. +Plenty of indoor seating. +Prices are average. I paid about $9 for a single patty. I hope you enjoy!

The restaurant serves amazing dishes everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with love. You can tell the chefs be putting love into their food. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the overall vibe made the meal even better. If you're looking for a spot with great food and a good experience all around, I definitely recommend checking this place out! My go-to is cuban sandwich with fries. Lorddddd!!! The best sandwich in the neighborhood. And when I'm not feeling well their Chicken soup is on pointttt. My remedy I call it. If you order a large they give you a small container with white rice. The perfect combination.

I appreciate not having to deal with cleanup but I was hoping for more of a savory punch.

We both had the smash burger (his was a double) + I ordered fries so we could share them. The burgers were SOOO GOOD! The order of fries was huge. Highly recommended.

This place was just okay. You can dine in, they do deliver, and there are a few tables inside. We…read moreordered the red snapper dinner and a side of mac and cheese to share. The food came out quickly (under 15 minutes) You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The restaurant is small, but the vibe is great. The decor is vibrant, music is playing, and there are TVs throughout. Just a heads up, it's pretty loud inside. The food was average. The red snapper had a slightly sweet taste that wasn't our favorite. The mac and cheese wasn't traditional baked mac and cheese, but it was still good. The rice could have used more flavor, and the plantains tasted like they had been sitting for a while. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the menu has a lot of options. The prices are a little high, but that's expected in New York. They do have pretty decent prices for lunch so I suggest trying them for yourself during lunch hours. Overall, decent Jamaican food with a great atmosphere, but nothing that really stood out.

The meat, sauce, and pickles were all to my liking. The bread was just ok, it started crumbling at some point, so in the future I'd consider chicken without the bread. I got the mac and cheese and I just thought it was ok - kind of grainy, which surprised me because others on yelp spoke highly of it. Maybe it was just an off night. I'd return but I'd switch up my order.

FLUFFY!! Just like the name suggests! Surprising, as things usually don't work out that way…read more.. My husband and I came here late after a night out. I ordered the chicken tenders & fries which came with cole slaw and pickle slices. The chicken really was battered & fried to fluffy perfection!! It had a soft & unique texture I don't recall ever tasting before. The sides were also fantastic; fries were crispy hot, cole slaw was not too wet or too dry with excellent flavor and the pickle slices were refreshing after a bite of the medium-spice level chicken. And don't get me started on that sauce!! It was perfect for both the chicken & fries, I loved it! Definitely check this place out if you're a fried chicken connoisseur! :)
