“The service was outstanding, and the food surpassed expectations. The bathroom had inclusive signage with symbols representing all people. Although there was a parking lot, it was quite crowded and challenging to find a spot. The ambiance inside is a bit loud. However, for birthdays, they sing "Happy Birthday" and blow bubbles, creating a delightful atmosphere.“
“Had a wonderful meal this evening at Upland, really enjoyed my artichoke entree and was pleasantly surprised by my lobster main! Luis was so professional and attentive, I loved my complimentary guava sorbet and the honey ice cream was also delish. I highly recommend them, thank you for taking such good care of me for the two hours I was with you.“
“I always walked by and knew the name from living in Chicago. The iconic building always intrigued me and last night, I was lucky to find a table during peak dinner rush.I was guided to their newly rennovated 'Sidecar'. We sat upstairs and loved being able to look over 3rd avenue. The service was so attentive -- from being immediately greeted to the servers always offering to clear plates and offer new ones. I had the Cadillac burger and it came with a generous portion of french fries.The desserts surpassd expectation, i got the brownie sundae but learned the cheesecake and apple crisp are made in-house so I need to come back and try that.Shout out to my server Nicole and Marianna for making PJ Clarke's especially memorable and a new found staple in my dinner rotation in midtown.“
“My friends and I drove here from queens for Iftar. When we arrived we were told they were all booked and could not seat us. Once they heard we came all this way from NY they called us back and went to make extra chairs just so they can make some space for us to eat! Really appreciated their accommodations for us. The place was packed and roo Afzal water was passed around for Iftar. You order your food at the front register and they bring the food to your table. Both the hangry burger and gappa chaat were really good. Definitely recommend.“
“Great food from a vegan business run by vegans. The "chicken legs" are amazing and my daughter said the mac n cheese was the best she has ever tasted. Super friendly and enthusiastic staff. Whilst primarily a take-out there is a small seating area for those wanting to eat in. Highly recommended.“
“The food in Amazing Chicken & Gyro is a great price and tastes great especially for the price. They are fully halal which is amazing and allows for everyone to enjoy along with the full range of a menu catering to everyone. I would recommend especially the chicken wings with mango habanero and the Gyro Salad with white sauce!Vegetarian options: They have salads and vegetarian gyro along with a few other options.“
“I went here last week with the family member as we were feeling for something different and decided to look up what food is in the area. of course there’s a lot of cultural places in the area however, this place came up with excellent reviews, and I must say it was worth every bite.. the freshness of the food and the service from the guy at the counter Mack. will definitely be returning. the sauce was phenomenal, the burger meat, to the crunchy chicken loaded fries.“
“If you want a New York/Broadway experience which includes talented people on the rise singing for you as well as waiting your table... Eat in here... Open from breakfast to dinner... Pop in when the line is not too long or else you might be in for quite some wait time.“
“This is a family owned restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen that takes that to heart. The food is fantastic and service is fast. It just has that bit of personality that makes it feel like a place out of a small town instead of the middle of Manhattan—and that’s a really good thing.My one suggestion would be to maybe add an impossible burger, turkey burger, or a chicken dish to the menu. If you don’t eat beef, there’s not a lot of protein options…but it’s also a burger place so what does one expect.Definitely check this place out :)Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese, veggie burger“
“We were a group of 25 with a preset menu of 4 selections. The service was very friendly, the meals were delicious and service was great. We had a birthday to celebrate and you joined us in song and music. Thank you for a memorable lunch with our visitors from Israel.“
“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“
“This place would have been good, except they forced me to pay cash because my male companion used a credit card for his bill. I would have gladly just paid a credit card fee myself for the separate checks. I thought it was super odd they assumed we were together, and should be paying for both on one card, and figure it out later. Coworkers (many people) need to be able to pay separately for a variety of reasons even if they sit at the same table. It would have been nice to be informed about this upfront so we could have prepared, and avoided an awkward checkout. Service was fantastic, the food was what you'd expect for a quick breakfast bite. I still don't understand why they can't pass on two cc fees to two separate customers. I would have chalked it up to an NYC thing, but no other restaurants treated payment like that. It felt like our payment was a huge inconvenience to them and the food definitely wasn't worth the hassle.“
“Staff knows me on a first name basis and that good work speaks for itself. Thank you.Vegetarian options: it's all what there what you need.Dietary restrictions: it's listedParking: parking on 25th street nyc between Broadway and 6th Avenue.Kid-friendliness: Very polite and courtesy counts.Wheelchair accessibility: there's a ramp.“
“Excellent place to eat very good burgers at good prices!Supplements (lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) are not expensive. I recommend taking the double given the minimal difference in price with the single and that allows you to be well positioned. The fries are great! Finally, the waiters/cooks were very nice.“
“My boyfriend and I were in NYC for the weekend and just happened to pop in for a lunch waiting for our train. The signature sauce they give with their burgers was incredible. Leo our server was super attentive and kind. You also can’t beat 2 / 1 mimosas. My boyfriend said it was the best burger he’s ever had. I got the turkey burger and it was amazing. Will definitely be back!“
“Excellent service and great atmosphere! Everyone is so attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and affordable. Their happy hour is really good. The drinks are well made and they are not cheap with the liquor.Well done guys, we will be back soon!!“
“Dougie and Preston make the place such a vibe!!! So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood except it is kinda dangerous because I can't stay away. Good drinks, cutie boys and lively energy- what more could you ask for?!?!?? Service and atmosphere is just emphasized by these bartenders! I was sitting at the bar enjoying my Sunday. Then the manager or someone started to take inventory right next to me, it was pretty annoying and just felt rude energy besides that a really fabulous time.“
“Fantastic American lunch spot! I had the chicken sandwich and the sriracha mayo was just immaculate. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and we were seated right away without any reservation. The staff and servers were also very kind and helpful throughout our meal! Would recommend to anyone wanting a good lunch in Manhattan!“

“- If your looking for one of the best burgers you ever had, or just something to stand out from the onslaught of restaurants in Times Square area, Dark Side Of The Moon is the place to visit. Not only is it one the best names in restaurant history, it is one of the best burgers I've had nationwide. What really stood out was their choice of exotic meats. You can choose from alligator sausage, kangaroo, bison, elk, camel and yak burgers and they even have wild boar tacos. The yak burger stood up to their claim that it is the best meat they offer. Never have I had such a flavorful burger. Who knew yak would be so delicious. The owner was not only the host but also the server and worked hard to make the experience memorable. It's always a pleasure to see an owner who cares enough to work the trenches to assure his diners leave happy and satisfied. Will definitely return as there is a plethora of menu options still to try. If you have a chance to stop by and try their burgers I suggest you do just that.“
“The "The American" burger is the one with the thick bacon slice and barbecue sauce... order medium rare... and you will get a 5-star experience for sure... add the ai-oli fries to it and it's complete ?? you're welcome. One of my favorites in NYC.“
“We stayed several times during our holiday and always had a good time. We ate the pastrami sandwich with mozzarella, delicious and absolutely recommended, with a side of potato salad (they serve them cold), cheeseburger with fries, combo corn and pastrami. The onion rings are huge!! We also tried the strawberry cheesecake, devil's cheesecake (ultra chocolatey), chocolate milkshake with brownie cheesecake: all super delicious. The portions are generous and the prices are honest for New York: you will certainly leave more than full! Courteous staff.“
“The food is delicious I come here all the time and every time I come they treat me with respect on top of that The store is always clean and you get to choose so many toppings from the salad bar they have quesadillas. Barbecue pops, platter, the burgers and when I tell you this place it’s amazing. CANT GO WRONG!!“
“It’s Halal & In Time Square. What else? If that wasn’t a good enough reason for you. Then when you read this review know I’m eating one of their burgers right now. As I munch on the deliciousness. I am visualizing the next time I’m going there again. Yea. Burgermania slaps and it’s here baby!“
“Great smash burger! The beef is fresh and juicy, perfectly crisped on the edges sealing in all of the juice. Cheese is melted, onions are chopped nicely and thin with sauce. They give you pickles on the side but I wouldn’t have minded it all being together. The buns a classic soft potato roll - minor suggestion would be to keep it out a little so that the buns are not cold. The fries are delicious too, curled and fried to perfection. Overall an amazing burger, great place, staff is fun and friendly. Great place to grab a burger and some fries.“
“A damn good burger! ? Seriously I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life and burgers happen to be my favorite food but this all American cheeseburger from @cake_burgers has to be one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I mean from the top to the bottom the soft, perfectly toasted brioche bun, to the perfectly crisp and fresh lettuce and tomatoes and melty cheese, and their special burger sauce?! Whenever a restaurant has a special sauce I have to try it because I have high expectations and this one exceeded it. The grilled onions made it even better! The meat was perfectly cooked and so juicy. It was like my dream burger had finally come to fruition. I am also a big sweet potato fries lover and they make the PERFECT sweet potato fries, everything is balanced so nicely from seasoning to texture. It’s no surprise the chef has past experience working at Michelin star restaurants and even received compliments from THE Anthony Bourdain!!!! I can’t wait to come back and try their specialty cakes and other desserts! My new favorite burger joint ??Plus the owners are so sweet and kind and provide amazing service and fun and welcoming atmosphere!“
“Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day.We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band.Donovan’s is the real deal.“
“Food is really good but I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food. The burgers are great. Staff is friendly. They’re not wrong when they say you should get a double. I had two singles. The regular mash is good and the spicy mash is unique. The honey definitely makes it taste different than other burgers. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu.Parking: Parking is not too bad. Located right at the end of a busy Main Street. Not all of the meters work though“
“The service was immaculate. Ana did a fantastic job at giving us a great experience. It was our first time here and she was attentive, kind, and fun! At the end she let us spin the wheel to win a prize and I got a free soda, but I was a little bummed because I wanted to win a free shot, but she gave me it anyways! Not just the service, but the food was actually really good. It is a lowkey place, but with great food with great portions for a fair price. The drinks were definitely potent as well. We ordered the arepas for 2 that came with nachos, colombian hot dog, premium steak fries that came with a fire show, sangria, and a modelo. Everything was so filling that I had to take most of the food to go. I would recommend this place to everyone!!“
“Walked in thinking it's an Irish bar, walked out having one of the best times ever at any bar. This is a gay bar on steroids but that's what makes it oh so better. I know what you straights are thinking, but this place is Uber welcoming of people from all walks of the road. Probably one of my most favorite random bars of all time. The food was great and priced even better. The staff was Uber friendly and the drinks were top notch. The crowd was the happiest and sweetest crowd of all time. Tbh not a single sour puss! Highly recommend this place for everyone and anyone! The music, the food, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere... all so fun that honestly I kinda wish I was gay now lol. Give this place a shot, you won't regret it!“
“We went there with our almost 3 year old daughter, excellent service even with children, varied kids menu. There are also veg burgers, we ate wagyu, really excellent meat, the cocktails were also very good, compared to our Italians they are spicy but a very interesting alternative. Super recommended!Wheelchair accessibility: It is on the ground floor and I passed through the entrance door with the stroller open, I don't know if the size is the same as that of a stroller.“
“Plnt Burger is absolutely amazing my new favorite place to eat. There chicken sandwich and nuggets reminded me so much like chick fila. Everything tasted very clean and so fresh. Quality of the food is 10/10 and they have a good variety of sauces all are delicious. I highly recommend.“
“What a charming, lovely (and delicious!) spot with good vibes and excellent service. We enjoyed ALL of our food. We were scraping the bowl on the guacamole.Such a delightful surprise and highly recommend for families, friends, and couples. Great vibes all around.Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu with something for all palates and fun "cubes" for the kids water.“
“Este lugar me parece espectacular para comer carne. El pan recién hecho también es una delicia. Fuimos en dos oportunidades en el viaje. Cómo un steak de pimienta. Estuvo increíble. Y en la otra oportunidad comí un ribeye y estuvo bueno. Muy ameno. Tienen varios tipos de cervezas de draft y no es excesivamente caro como la mayoría de los restaurantes de carne.“
“I normally write reviews for the readers, but today, this review is directed to the owner. Your fried chicken is worth the trouble of finding parking. I had the 10pc bloom drumsticks half w/Soy Garlic and the other half in S.O.S. Korean Spicy. I would even go as far as saying any of the sauces are worth a parking ticket. I was also super impressed with the size of the drumsticks! I was full after just 4, and thankfully, otherwise I would have been tempted to eat my napkin just to relish the flavor. I'm also grateful I arrived with family, since they ordered additional items, like the bloom wings, truffle fries, pork dumplings, and wasabi coleslaw. I got to try almost everything and nothing disappointed...not one thing. Thank you for offering to provide me my order as it became available for the members of my family vs. waiting for all of it to finish, that was very considerate of you and unexpected. I saw how polite you were to everyone that entered to order and for pick-up. We waited a little less than 25 minutes for the order to be complete and considering the size of our order, that was impressively fast! I just want to add that I also noticed you sacrificed your kitchen space to provide extra room for your guest, hats off to you sir! The seating space at the entrance is ample, the decor is trendy, the food was amazing, your attitude was great and even the bathroom was clean. The next time I come, I'm shooting a video for you, you deserve it...plus, I need an excuse to come back.“
“It's the best burger I've ever had in my life.I went twice, the first time I was served by a blonde employee who clearly wanted to be fired. His attention was disastrous and he was not even able to deliver a ticket or confirm that the order was already confirmed.The second time there was another girl who was totally nice.The place is small, there is a bar to eat standing up.“
“We arrived from New Jersey at the Bus Terminal and it started raining while we were walking to our hotel. Luckily, halfway along the way, we found this place. We ordered slices of pizza of different flavors and they were great, in addition to the service being super attentive and the price was super affordable. We love it.“
“Visited for lunch on a Saturday while on a bus trip to NYC with high school band students. Waited in line for food, but worth the wait. Ordered honey mustard buttered chicken sandwich, $16. Husband & daughter ordered the same + a vanilla shake. Good value for a huge sandwich. Almost ordered buffalo chicken sandwich, but the clerk offered me a sample of the buffalo sauce to see if it would be too hot. Good thing, because it was fiery!Might have been the best food we had on our trip.“
“Came here today for lunch with my husband and it was not only delicious food, but the service was amazing. The women were so kind and the restaurant was beautiful, colorful, and cozy. We ordered the Quesabirria and it was out of this world 10/10 stars! I highly recommend coming to this place for some fresh flavors and for a nice and friendly atmosphere.“
“I'm giving Malone's five stars. I absolutely loved it. First of all, the service was fantastic! I mean our server was professional, friendly, and just lovely. I came here for the weekend brunch, and I like that they also offered non-brunch items. I have never like eating waffles or eggs in the afternoon. I ended up getting Buffalo chicken wings. I love wings and I can say these were amongst the best wings I have had. They were just crispy and delicious. And the fries were yummy too.“
“10/10, definitely recommend!! We found this place by accident, just searching for food near us late at night. Ordered for 6 people, including a couple of kids who can be "picky eaters", and everyone loved their meals! Staff was very friendly, service was fast, and although there isn't much seating, the atmosphere is wonderful!! We will definitely be back when we visit NYC again!!“
“Came here with 5 friends after a 5 hour hike + we were hungry! Great kabobs, salads. Loved the pumpkin dish wonderful blend of spicesVegetarian options: The pumpkin dish was delicious with a spice combination I've never experienced. Will be back for that“
“Found this place while ordering on DD, had the Chicken over rice place, great portion with the fries and salad. So good i had to stop by another day since its not too far away from my neighborhood, had a double cheeseburger combo with jalapeňos as an add on. Great food im stuffed. Maintains a clean setup and very friendly. Will be returning.“
“My husband and I went last night for dinner, and we cannot stop talking about how much we enjoyed it. First, they accommodated us quickly and made us feel welcome despite the fact that we arrived a little over 15 minutes late for our reservation; we were expecting to wait but they seated us right away. The atmosphere is soooo pretty with greenery and fun music playing.Now the food: My husband ordered a cocktail and I ordered wine and both came out promptly & were generous in size. While we waited for our food, we looked at the meals that were coming out of the kitchen and everything looked delicious! The serving sizes are VERY generous. My husband ordered the chicken parm vodka special and I ordered the ravioli and meatball. We easily could have split the chicken parm to share. It was easily one of our favorite meal experiences, as everything was made to perfection. For dessert we ordered the cheesecakes.. I have high expectations for cheesecake and theirs did not disappoint. We both left feeling stuffed but in the best way. No notes. 12/10.“
“Had it delivered, great food and delivery time. Everything arrived perfectly and was absolutely delicious ❤️. It didn’t last 4 minutes, and it only lasted that long because I had to breathe ???Dietary restrictions: Bison is a great option for diabetics in place of beef.“
“Just came from there and the burger is worth the drive. Had a double with everything and bacon. It was delicious! I also had the truffle fries which are shoestring fries. Properly tasty and crispy! Bacon was meaty and the burelger was nice and juicy! You will definitely enjoy this spot! Support local mi gente!“
“Awesome place overwhelming with awesome vibes! A vegan burger fast food restaurant? So cool!!Unfortunately, this is NOT a seat-in restaurant. Everything is take-out or pick-up.The staff was really lovely! I really appreciated their patience and friendliness when I took forever to decide what to get...My friend got a vegan chicken sandwich; she said it tasted just like Chick-fil-A. She really liked it!I got a burger called "One Night Stand." The burger patty was very burned, so I had to bite off and toss out quite a bit, but it was still good!The fries were sooooo good. Even when they got cold, they were still crispy outside and soft inside; they didn't get soggy at all!Wheelchair accessible.No dine-in options.“
“Holy moly! This place is AMAZING!!!! First time trying and it couldn't have been better! I'm in the middle of eating and had to pause to write this review because of how much we are all enjoying our food! The platters are a very hefty portion and they weren't cheap with the cheese on the fries either! Super friendly as well (I called to ask about something and he was super nice and helpful).“
“First of all, what a beautiful island, especially during the only season compatible with being a human person. This place is very conveniently located next to the train station where it inconveniently takes ten thousand rotating steps of escalator to bring you up to island level. The outdoor seating overlooks large patches of grass and bush, and made me feel like I was in a small town in New Hampshire or Upstate New York -- places where Main Street should be called The Only Street. It was perfect for those who hate wind, bugs, heat, or cold, but do enjoy fresh air. Everything we ordered had potato: baked, mashed, and souped. It's very hard to resist a Potato & Leek soup or a Shepherd's pie at an Irish pub, even when there's a brunch menu available. This was a tough one. I made a last minute decision not to get the Irish breakfast and a last second decision not to get the Fish & Chips. Instead, I got a seared salmon with vegetables and mashed potato, but thought about those Fish & Chips the whole time. The salmon was crisp and seasoned with delicious capers. It made me feel like I made a healthy decision, but darn, the fomo. I will simply have to come back.“
“My experience at Mocha Lux was overall quite enjoyable. We started out at the bar, which was a nice way to begin while waiting for our entire party to arrive. Once we were all together, we were promptly seated.The food was delicious, and the atmosphere added to the dining experience. However, one point of criticism would be the frequency of staff check-ins. While it's great to receive attentive service, the staff coming over too often to ask about our experience and if they could take away dishes made us feel a bit rushed at times.Despite this, Mocha Lux still offers a great dining experience with excellent food and a pleasant ambiance.“
“This is a great little breakfast and lunch place that does mostly takeout but has a few tables to sit and eat. Within walking distance of several car dealerships so my dealer recommended that I go have breakfast there while my car was being serviced. Such a great and welcoming staff! I had a delicious omelet platter and was impressed that they offer a great selection of teas. Enjoy!“
