Best restaurant ever. Let me tell you, After the long walk around New York, we stopped by at this restaurant and we were intrigued of the look of the restaurant. There was no wait time to get seated! I ordered the Bill's burger my bros ordered the chicken sandwhich and the fat cat. It was so delicious! Like actually the best burgers and appetizers around New York. If i came back to New York, I would absolutely come back to this beautiful restaurant! Beautiful interior, Great service and the warm lighting too! Absolutely recommend coming here!!
Made a reservation here for yesterday for an early dinner. They were able to take us early which was great. Crowded inside, especially I’m sure due to the time of year and proximity to Rockefeller Center. Our server was nice and friendly. Quick service. Good menu with a lot to choose from. We all enjoyed our apps: the giant pretzel and wings. Everyone enjoyed their burgers they got. Sliders came in 3, or 5 and the 5 came with some onion rings and fries. Good choice to split that meal as those sliders were a decent size. Overall a solid meal.
The food was very good, and the buffalo sammies were honestly some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. Our server never refilled our drinks and took a long time to bring the bill, which took away from the overall experience.
Pretty large bar/restaurant close to Rockefeller Center. There was a wait on the weekend, during lunchtime. The hostess said 30 minutes and that was just about right. Lots of fried food choices and fancy milkshakes, which we didn’t get. Prices are a little expensive (not surprisingly for the location), but not terrible. The one thing was the bathroom situation. Our table was right outside the ladies room, which was pretty well used. A line the majority of the time we ate. Didn’t use the ladies room but could see it could have used a cleaning. Would recommend this location and would return again, maybe at a less busy time.
This restaurant was just fantastic. All of the food and drinks were delicious and it was staggering how fast the service was for the number of guests in the restaurant. A straight 10 on the service - well done. I would definitely recommend giving them a try if you haven't. Highly recommended. Pro tip: Definitely make a reservation because this restaurant stays packed all the time.
I like that they have healthy options, but we came here specifically for the unhealthy, so it was great comfort food. The bathrooms were quite ghetto though not gonna lie, the men’s bathroom didn’t have paper towels or a proper working air dryer. The drinks were great, we also ordered custom off menu drinks aswell, tbh the food runners didn’t warn us it was hot before handing us the hot food plate when I got the grilled cheese, they could’ve put it on the table instead of handing it, I guess they got lucky I’m used to holding hot things. Overall great experience would come again just for the food. Place picks up after 5pm, so maybe come before or make a reservation.
Great place, very busy. Found a spot at the bar right away. Was surprised that the food came out very fast. Don't usually eat burgers but this one was very special, one of the best I've had. Chips and queso was just ok, llcheese was a bit to runny. Would recommend, wait can be over an hour.
Great place to grab a quick bite during the busy hustle and bustle of the holiday season. The beautiful Rockefeller Center tree was lit, and the city was jam-packed — Yet we didn’t have to wait very long for a table for our large group. Despite the long line at the hostess stand, the hostesses were friendly and accommodating. Julian was an amazing server! Food came out quickly and was hot and delicious! The milkshakes were out of this world and the tower of burgers “KILLER B’S” was absolutely delicious — Love the special sauce. The large soft pretzel was amazing! Every detail was perfect. Great options for kids!!! Not only did the kids get to pick between chicken fingers, burger, or hotdog their meals came with fries and a small milkshake! Highly recommend!
