Comfort Food Restaurants in New York, NY

“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“Very casual dim sum joint in Times Sq area. Order items on screen and then it will be delivered to your table. Super casual, fastbut clean. No real plates which is a minus. Enjoyed the little soup dumplings, bok choy and shrimp rice roll. Really liked the water cress dumplings too. Very tasty dim sum if you are in a rush and looking for something in the Times Sq area.“

“Very chill vibe to this place. The food seems pretty well priced, and they had games which was super fun! I would go again for the vibes if I was in the area Famous beer cheese 3/5 The cheese sauce was good and the bread had a nice crisp to it. However, I wish the garlic was slightly cooked or was a garlic butter so it was easier to get on the bread. You basically rub a garlic clove on the bread which really didn't get it too garlicky“

“my partner and I love these noodles so much, we still make weekly Harlem trips to eat them, after moving to Queens. This was the meal we ate after we got engaged. These noodles literally brought love to my life.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, including seitan and delicious dumplings!“

“Great cocktail and food. Dog friendly!“

“Started coming to this place when it was Anchor Wine Bar, years ago. Loved it then, love it now. They haven't changed its comfy-casual atmosphere, which is great. I've been to the new iteration 3 times and each time it's been worth coming back again. My only disappointment is that it's not more crowded. It certainly deserves to be.“

“This was first time at Lagos with family celebrating my birthday and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and music was great. A total vibe!“

“Came here on a Sunday early afternoon after searching for a place to have a quick brunch without the hassle of driving in circles looking for a parking. I entered and was immediately greeted by the hostess and decided to sir at the bar. There was a decent amount of people there but it was not crowded.Once seated, I was provided water, menu and utensils. I ordered the hangover sandwich with was a BLT woth.sunny side eggs and avocado. It was yummy and very filling. It cane it fries but the fries were a rad bit overcooked and some were burnt. I also had a Pina mule and ur was really good. Overall a good spot for a quick brunch.“

“Our party sat outside in our own boxcar feeling seating. We had booth seating (which was movable) at a table that could easily fit 6. The room had our own air conditioner, small window, and sliding door. Even though we were outside in the sidewalk, we were isolated from the world. It was devine. It made our dining experience intimate and allowed one of the party who wears a hearing aid be able to hear all of us and engage in the conversation. The food was brought to us promptly. It was all very tasty. I had shrimp (5 jumbo sized) and pasta in Marana sauce. This was a new dish for me. Although the food was tasty, this is not a pairing I would recommend nor order again. I would return for another visit and order something else as the service was wonderful.“

“This is one of my favorite places in all of NYC! The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! They also have great lunch specials. The restaurant is super cute and ordering online is also a breeze. If you are craving Thai food in the UWS, definitely check this place out!“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“Best Thai food I have ever eaten by miles, and trust me, that’s saying something. Nothing here wasn’t divine. We got to go and decided to eat at their table outside anyway, they brought us water without asking! Come see these sweet, incredible cooks!“

“Cute little place (very little, you must make a reservation). We had made a reservation yet our table was given away (it was for my birthday dinner so a bit frustrating that it was given away with no reason given, we were not late) actually we had an app and cocktail at another place because we were so early - we made the best of it - and honestly did not even tell them it was my birthday - nothing they could do now that our table was occupied. We were told we could sit at the bar, or next door - but chose to instead sit outside. It was a bit chilly but we had jackets. The server was sweet, we ordered the warm chocolate mousse in advance for dessert as it takes some time to prepare - was very excited for this and it did not disappoint. The inside could have used another few minutes in the oven but I devoured the rest it was rich and chocolatey. We shared a hummus and pita, very good, fresh, warm pita. A dish of olives, had a weird taste - we couldn't figure out maybe it was the orange in the marinate, Grilled shrimp salad was the best dish. Delicious grill flavor on the shrimp and the salad dressing, which the menu noted was Chef Cipriano's own, was delicious - we would buy that dressing for sure!! Please bottle and sell it and drop me a note on here when it's available for sale we will purchase several bottles! Maybe even some as gifts Lastly, we had the mac & cheese - you can do add-ins for the mac & cheese. I wanted cauliflower and S wanted bacon - so we did both but asked for the bacon on top, not mixed it so I could avoid it - they did just that, thank you Chef -- the waiter let us know. there would be an up charge for this - it was worth it.. very rich and creamy mac with a nice crust on top and S loved his bacon. All in all, a nice meal, sitting outside with a glass of wine on a beautiful spring night with the best company. I could not ask for a more wonderful Birthday dinner. We will be back!“

“Absolutely love this place. Stopped in after 3 pm and was pleasantly surprised that they serve breakfast all day! Will definitely return to try some more of their meatless options. Gave it 4 stars only because my food was cold but still really delicious and tea was a bit hotter than ‘warm’ but not quite hot. I did love that they garnished the plates with edibles flowers.“

“I moved to the city from Tennessee a few months ago and I have been craving some good biscuits and gravy! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING: My Southern heart wept with joy after one bite. THANK Y'ALL!“

“Great Mimosas and Great Staff! M is a character!“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“We had such a great experience coming here to celebrate Mothers Day the weekend after. When we walked in around 1pm for brunch, one of the servers bumped into my mom accidentally and unfortunately spilt some of the coffee on her skirt. We didn’t think much of it since it was busy and these things do happen. The host told us they couldn’t seat us unless the whole party was there and we were just waiting for my sister to arrive. So we decided to wait outside in front of the next door establishment. We were there for a total of 3 min when the the server who initially bumped into my mom with the coffee( Bryson) came looking for her with a cup of seltzer and napkin saying, “ I thought you left! I was looking for you! I didnt want you to leave unhappy. Let’s get this taken care of for you. “ he literally bent down and grabbed the first layer of my moms chiffon skirt and started to take the coffee stain off with the seltzer. My mom and I were both simply amazed by the consideration and prompt attention after the small accident. That quickly elevated our experience already. Then my sister arrived shortly after and we were seated to the covered front entrance in the left corner. We had the sweetest server, I don’t think I ever got her name but she was amazing. She recommended the burger, the chicken club and the breakfast option where you get scrambled eggs, choice of flavor pancakes, a meat option and hash browns. We ordered all of her recommendations and they all exceeded our expectations. She also brought us complimentary warmed corn bread with house made apple jam. Delish! 10/10 def coming back for more!!! My mom said it was one of her favorite Mothers Day brunch experiences. Thank you Friend of a Farmer. ❤️“

“The food was great and the staff was really friendly. The tacos were pricey, but among the best I've had, especially the meat could easily stand on its own merit. The mole poblano was delicious, if not too sweet, though the chicken was a bit dry. As the waitress promised, the homemade cheesecake was really good and its sauce had to be licked off the plate.“

“Great food very friendly staff.“

“Such a yum place. They let us bring our 9lb/4kg toy cavoodle inside as well which was so nice considering outdoors was all booked and we had booked inside. The food was delicious and came quickly and the staff were lovely. The only comment is that our table was right against the wall so had limited space but that’s standard for nyc cafes. Would come back again because it’s pet friendly yahoooo!“

“Nerai offers a fantastic Greek dining experience with its exquisite seafood and Mediterranean flavors. The dishes are beautifully presented, and each bite is a delight. The service is top-notch, with staff that are both attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant and sophisticated, yet inviting, making it a perfect choice for a special evening out or a fancy lunch. Definitely a must-visit.“

“I had a week trip to NYC and typically don't want to go to the same place twice due to wanting to try new places... this place made me go back 2x in one trip cause it is just THAT GOOD. I got the mera mera dip soba noodles and the Tom yum dip soba noodles. Both were out of this world- full of flavor and just plain delicious. This is 100% my new go to spot in NYC and if I lived in the area, this would be my weekly date night spot. Can't speak more highly about the food. Service was good also. They were very accommodating when I got placed right under the heater and they adjusted accordingly so we were comfortable during our experience.“

“Friendly staff, great home style thanksgiving dinner and reasonable prices. Our first experience of Thanksgiving and we couldn’t be happier. Very busy but well managed. I would definitely recommend.“

“Went here to meet a friend- it was very loud when we arrived but that died down after the few loud people left. The food was meh. We ordered a quesadilla and it was heaping with cheese. The drinks were good though, and overall a nice place.“

“The chicken is good, but the portions could be better for the price. Doesn't feel worth it to me, unless you're already in the area or trying it for the first time. I otherwise enjoyed the level of spiciness of their chicken. Fries were meh.The seating area is spacious and generally empty at night from my experience. There are kiosks to order from, as well as napkins, forks and whatnot.“

“Delicious sandwich and good quality Tea“

“I got delivery and it was so quick, and I can’t believe how good it is. The dumpling wrappers are so fresh and the perfect thickness, are cooked perfectly. Lots of juicy flavorful pork inside. The broth is incredible, and so complex and flavorful, spicy tangy and rich. Delicious fresh scallions and cilantro. The scallion pancakes are perfectly crisp. Can’t wait to try more of the menu.“

“Food was very good. Our server was very nice, but absent for most of the meal. Had to work to get her attention at the end and ended up paying the book with someone else and tipping them for coming over to help us. As per most restaurants owned or operated by people under 50, it was entirely too loud. Music was blaring and the three of us were shouting to hear each other. The 20 year old at our table complained about the volume. It's not an age thing, it's a common sense thing.“

“Loopy's is the best. Just finished some of their delicious Bibim Bop. The Apps are good too - Summer Rolls were crunchy and the shrimp fresh and fried dumplings were delish also. Definitely recommend, eaten here dozens of times and always consistently great.“
