Dry, cold, flavorless, garbage.
Doug W.

This burger might be good if it didn't sit there getting ice cold in the back after asking twice where my order was. I asked for extra sauce as I do most always Ts and the thing was bone dry. No desire to try that again

Burger and fries
Michelle L.

Convenient location in the Times Square area to grab a burger and they have gluten free options available also. Service was ok and it took over 20 minutes to get our order. The burger was fresh and had a good flavor and the fries were hot and fresh.

I will forever love Schnipper's. And even though this place has lived across Port Authority for as long as I can remember, I always love introducing this spot to new people, even if they've lived in New York their whole lives. And this time it was my current intern's turn to experience the magic of this place. As per usual, the food was spot on and was enjoyed all around. Also, the person behind the register was one of the nicest I've had there. If you need something quick, and you're around the Port Authority area, you can't go wrong with Schnipper's.

Sloppy Fries
Raymond G.

Schnipper's is exactly what you want in the middle of Midtown: fast, reliable, and better than it needs to be. The location near Broadway and Times Square makes it an easy stop before or after a show, and the quick-service setup keeps things moving even when it's busy. The burgers are solid across the board. Juicy patties, good buns, and no gimmicks--just straightforward, well-executed burgers. Fries are crisp, generously portioned, and hold up well under toppings. Speaking of toppings, don't sleep on the sloppy Joe. It's messy in the best way and surprisingly satisfying if that's your thing. Milkshakes are huge, borderline comical, and easily shareable. Thick, classic, and indulgent, they feel like a throwback in a good way. Bottom line: Schnipper's isn't trying to reinvent anything, but it executes the classics really well. A dependable, crowd-pleasing option in an area full of tourist traps--and a great choice when you want something quick without settling.

Chicken sandwich
Morgan R.

Food was good and service was fast. We needed somewhere quick and easy while we waited for our hotel. Def a good choice. My husband got a burger and I got a sandwich. Definitely check it out!

Sweet Heat Crispy chicken sandwich

I tried the Sweet Heat Crispy Chicken, and it just wasn't for me. It tasted like crispy chicken drenched in hot sauce without much flavor beyond the heat. I was hoping for a better balance of sweet and spicy. I also wasn't a fan of the strawberry lemonade--it didn't have the flavor I was expecting. It's a no for me.

Bacon Cheeseburger
Angela L.

The inside is bigger than it looked from the outside. There is a huge menu board with all sorts of things from burgers to salads. Once you figure out what you'd like you order, pay, and find a seat. You have to listen for them to call the number on your receipt. I got the bacon cheeseburger and my daughter got the chicken fingers with fries. Maybe I was hungry but that was a maybe one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The patty was hot and juicy. The lettuce, tomato, and onions were fresh. The bacon was crispy and plentiful. It was satisfying. The chicken tenders were hot and crispy. They weren't bad but not the best I've ever had. Overall not a bad place for a quick bite.

This is the second time I'm at schnippers. Quick and fast food. Order at the a tablet in the front, pay and grab a seat. Your order will be taken to your table. They have condiment's and sofa fountains if you order a drink so you can self serve. We order the sloppy Joe burger and the cheeseburger. In addition we got chicken tenders and French fries. Food came out quick. Sloppy Joe and burger was good. Chicken tender you can tell the chicken was fresh and the batter was flavorful. The fries also crispy. You clear your own table after you are done so others can use it. Space was huge with plenty of seatings. Price is not bad for midtown.

Grabbed a bit to eat here before going to a show. Walked in and it was a little busy around noon. You could check yourself out or place your order with a cashier. I placed my order with a cashier. My sister started to place an order on her own but, ended up going to a cashier. We were given buzzer that would sound when the food was ready and someone would either bring your food to the table or you could go to the counter and pick it up. We dined in. I had chicken stripe, fries and an angry orchard. Everything hit the spot and wasn't too heavy for a meal before the show. The dining area was a nice size. I felt like some of the tables were a little to close together but, everything else was pretty cool.

Bacon Cheeseburger House Fries Thick Cut Onion Rings Lemonade
Alex F.

Schnippers has a great location for the transients exploring nyc. The place is pretty busy; however, despite this, it seems pretty well run. The burger was well cooked and the fries were ok. The onion rings were pretty oily, but seasoned well. If you need some reprieve from the city and can find a seat definitely swing by. Just be wary if you come with a large crowd, it may be hard to accommodate you.

I came here on a Saturday and ordered from the counter. (You can also order from the tablet but the line for the cashier was shorter.) Once you order from the counter, grab a number and find a seat (they were plenty of seats) and they will bring you your order. I ordered their cheeseburger special (comes with cheese burger, fries and drink), sloppy joes and chicken fingers. They were all delicious. Free fountain drink refills. I will definitely come back to try other items on their menu.

This place has a nice environment and consistently good service. I really like their sloppy joe and chicken fingers. Sometimes I'll come here just for a root beer float. It's a big space with a lot of seating, so it can handle the crowds, and it feels spacious during off-peak hours. They even have outdoor seating in the warmer months.

Ambiance
Tristan D.

Honestly with the place being in Times Sq I shouldn't have expected anything more but a tourist trap but I was starving and it was around 9:45 and I needed something to eat so me and my friends settled here. Ambiance: [4/5] The place is very big and spacious with an open kitchen so you can see what's being done. Seats everywhere including outdoor seating incase you don't want to sit inside. The place is pretty nice with nothing too extra going on. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting with urine all over the floors, I wouldn't expect anything less given it's on times square. Food: [2/5] [Sloppy Fries + The Big Schnipp] Mediocre and overpriced. I was surprised on how disgusting the food was given how expensive it was. The burger tastes like a burger you'd get at shake shack except a lot worse and very plain. The sloppy fries tastes like something microwaved and thrown together. I understand it's meant to sloppy or chili cheese fries but it didn't taste good at all, just tasted like unseasoned slop with microwaved cheese. I wouldn't expect anything more since tourist would eat anything placed in front of them and I should only blame myself for coming here especially 20 minutes to closing. Service: [5/5] The service was great. The cashier was nice and had recommendations. We were also brought our food as well which was neat. Overall, unless you're starving and you want to waste money I'd avoid at all costs. You're better off going to a shake shack or a hot dog stand where you'll get food that matches the amount of money spent rather than getting some overpriced nonsense that doesn't even taste good.

Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with 2 mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but the idea of returning feels less like reclaiming an old life than dipping a toe into a world I no longer need to inhabit. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a handsome room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was polished, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

For dessert, the iconic tiramisu. Garganelli- This has a nice, arugula pesto sauce that has a rich garlicky finish. It's enhanced with roasted mushrooms and sharp pecorino. Tagliatelle- You get a rich pork and beef bolognese. The house made pasta is cooked to perfection. Pretty satisfying! Ravioli- This is a light, seasonal dish with pumpkin, brown butter, and sage. The sauce complements the sweet pumpkin and the brown butter adds a nuttiness. Tiramisu- This dessert was too cute to eat! It was decorated with a meek looking model of their namesake lamb. Nobody wanted to ruin its face so we slowly ate this from the outside in. The espresso it strong, complemented by the creamy marscapone layers. Textures and flavors were perfectly balanced.
