“The best, the service: very attentive and waiting to help you only to detect that you were a foreigner. The portions are huge (at least all the sandwiches) and the product is of good quality. Typical American food, which if you're a fan of, you'll enjoy. Recommended visit and at adjusted prices, to be New York.“

“Loving preservation of the French Dip!! Picture says it all. Bun was light, fresh and totally up to the task of embracing the perfectly roasted beef. Special shout out to Meg at the bar who shows as much respect for their fantastic whiskey collection as the kitchen does for the beef!“

“I ordered the soup dumplings, egg custard and congee. Everything was so amazing - some of the best dim sum I’ve had and at a great price. It came out super fast too. ??? definitely trying to get my friends to come here next time with me! Also the people here are “

“This location is hands-down a high-quality place. I'm currently in grad school, and this place has never failed me when I order something to go. I've tried most of the main dishes and they are all great. The food has lots of flavor and is always served hot. When I order delivery, the order is always delivered quickly and the customer service is great. I highly recommend everyone in the neighborhood give this place a try.“

“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“

“Visited family and had a quick bite before my flight back home. Large portions - flavorful food. Open yet cozy atmosphere with really cute details and decor. Unlimited mimosas or Bloody Mary for $20 offered. Full menu sounded delicious. Attentive and accommodating wait staff. I’d recommend ?“

“If you are craving for chicken, there is no place better than three roosters. I know you all had chicken before unless you’re a vegan, this is the best chicken I ever had in my life and that is saying a lot. Good amount of chicken with rices as they aren’t stingy with the meat. Price is a a bit pricy but that is all midtown pricing these days. I’ve had this place 3 times this week alone and I’m still loving it. If you’re around midtown and craving chicken and rice, you can’t go wrong.“

“Such an amazing environment with great vegan food. I haven't had much vegan food but, if it tastes as amazing as the Warrior Sandwich I just had here! Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. I'm on board. Phenomenal food, great atmosphere, live music and DJs! This place is indeed special! I will be back here.“

“The food was very good. Very tasty with good portions. We ordered the jollof rice with goat, it was very flavorful with nice big chunks of goat. We started with pepper soup, the soup had a nice kick to it . I found it a bit spicy but that's just my taste buds. The restaurant is fun and vibrant. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The only issue we had was that the server was very confused and routinely brought the wrong food to our table or didn't bring our order to the table at all. The other servers helped him out, but it did cause a bit of a delay.“

“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.“

“It was good for NYC. But as someone who has been to NOLA it doesn’t compare. They were packed but service was still fast. Food was fresh; it was just the sauces that weren’t as good as I’ve had in other places. They did pack the bag full though!!“

“The first time at mom’s and was pleasantly surprised. The food was great: we ordered avocado toast (no lux), bedrock pancakes (fruity pebbles) and breakfast sandwich. Portions were generous and all fresh. Avocado toast included two large (sourdough?) bread with nice crust and loads of avocado spread, tomatoes, pickled onion, one poached egg (medium poached) per toast and a large piece of Avacado on the plate/toast. All and all the food was great, the service nice and the outdoor covered area clean and warm.“

“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!“

“The cozy atmosphere of this place is unmatched! Seating is limited so come early or make a reservation because the food here is fantastic. I loved my burger — the thick patty, sourced from Ottomanelli’s (for local UESers), had quality you could taste. It’s served on an English muffin which is unique and totally works! This was one of the few burgers where I didn’t feel absolutely stuffed/heavy after eating it which was refreshing. Highly recommend ordering it with the white cheddar cheese! The low lights, soft jazz, wooden furnishings, delicious food, and welcoming service make this place an easy 5 star ??“

“Ordered via UberEats. I got the bodega & the ACP.Oh my god. Immediate eyes rolled to the back of my head at the first bite of the bodega biscuit. I got the maple cayenne butter also which I feel was a nice touch. The buttermilk biscuit is buttery, rich, soft, and so good!! Not dry at all!The ACP came with the gravy on the side, which I appreciated to avoid a soggy biscuit. Again, absolutely delicious although I will say it might’ve been a bit salty.. but regardless it was great! Savory and just *chef’s kiss* Worth every penny!I couldn’t even finish it. They are not skimpy with the portions at all! I only wish they had some lattes / tea.Will definitely be ordering again!Truly a neighborhood gem!“

“An clean, authentic Irish Pub with real New York City chatacter and vibes! Super friendly and attentive Bartenders.Great selevtion of beverages including non-alchoholics.No smoking inside the pub.Rory, Nick, David, and all tge other staffers are very cool!The joy is getting back to pre-pandemic levels.“

“I've never wanted to give a business 5 stars more than Leche y Miel. They generously hooked me up with a meal several times while I drove for Amazon in the area. I love the food the staff and the spirit of the team here. They have been the best part of my job. Alda said the food was on the house and I replied "you just made my...Life!" I strongly recommend checking them out if youre in the riverdale area.“

“Hands down, the best meal I've had in ages! The flavors are out of this world and the presentation is top-notch. The service is also exceptional - friendly and attentive staff who really know their stuff. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! ??“

“We went yesterday. First; very nice atmosphere. Indoor and outside seating available. Everyone was super friendly. Food was perfect. Abs the bottomless mimosas =❤️ our server Moe ( probably spelling wrong ) went above and beyond for us. He made an already perfect visit even better. I would highly recommend. Ty Lilly’s Craft and Kitchen.“

“This place is a 10/10! I definitely recommend this restaurant. I come to New Jersey often to see family and they always told me about this diner. I finally decided to visit and am very happy with the result. The atmosphere is awesome and I see they have other locations that I plan to visit too!“

“I don’t usually write food reviews but Wow to this restaurant!! My most favorite Thai restaurant in the UWS or even NYC. As a Thai person living in NYC i can say everything I ordered from here are so authentic! The food so fresh and flavorful plus the service is top notch! If I could give 10 stars I would! Highly recommended this place to everyone!“

“Best breakfast I had in a while so I am very pleased to have found this little gem. The breakfast wrap is sooo good, it's perfection in a wrap! The home made corn beef hash is amazing, best I've had in the area. Did not disappoint and will be back for more.“

“It's 2024 and this place is still a hit in my heart ❤️ ? ? I highly recommend coming to this beautiful establishment nestled in the heart of Spanish harlem on the east side. Come show some love to this Gem plus the best thing about this place besides the food, are the amazing people! It's such a vibe... love you ?“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We waited at least 1 hour for them to tell us they didn't have pernil or oxtail. But the churasco steak was delicious. And they made up for this by giving us delicious empanadas and dessert on the house.“

“I was introduced to Jacob's Pickles recently when meeting a friend at the Moynihan Trail Hall. He insisted on finding food as soon as he arrived from Washington, D.C., refusing to venture outside the building. So, we headed to the food court and stumbled upon Jacob's Pickles. The enticing aroma from the kitchen beckoned us, especially with its unique southern-inspired menu, which particularly resonated with me being from the south. I opted for the barbecue chicken-loaded fries as a starter, which turned out to be a substantial meal in itself. The portion size was exceptionally generous, prompting me to take some home. It's rare to find such generous portions in New York City without breaking the bank. Additionally, I indulged in biscuits and gravy and mac-and-cheese with two friends. I recommend treating these dishes as a family-style dining experience due to their size. Although Jacob's Pickles in the train hall lacks a dedicated dining area, the hall provides a pleasant space to enjoy your meal, provided it's not too crowded. While the food was served in a reasonable amount of time, it did take a bit longer for the barbecue chicken-loaded fries. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Jacob's Pickles and look forward to returning when my friend visits again and inevitably demands immediate dining. It's safe to say where we'll be dining next time!“

“Great neighborhood spot with standard fare. Definitely a spot worth checking out for breakfast/brunch. They are currently renovating/expanding part of their dining area so ESPRESSO DRINKS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I would call ahead to see if they're back on the menu if it's a deal breaker for you. Good variety of food and super quick service no matter how packed it may be. They are also fairly accommodating if you need to adjust/remove an item from a dish or two.“

“As a newbie in town, I have been looking for a healthy cozy place to get some work done. Sweet and savory has the perfect menu. Everything is made fresh and was delicious. As I sat in a booth I could hear the family greeting everyone by name when they came in. It was so nice to find a homey feel and great eats.“

“We found this spot on Google after leaving the history museum, wanting to get a good hardy lunch. This place did not disappoint! Service and food were excellent! I had the pancake breakfast, my daughter had the chili, and my son in law had the cheeseburger. Everything was so tasty, filling, and satisfying. The chili really rocked! I also loved the look and vibe of the place, and we vowed to return the next time we're nearby again.“

“Space is small, so a reservation is definitely needed. All run by chef and owner, Artist. That day we had the place almost all to ourselves and he made our experience one of a kind with his hospitality and attention. Eating delicious food while the guest musician played made for good vibes. We made quick friends with our dining neighbor and the whole restaurant just talked about life. Would definitely return again!“

“Had a great dinner experience and our waiter, Chris (Christian) was excellent! Made the dinner experience a very enjoyable time. He was knowledgeable about the menu and even went to ask the chef about ingredients that were in our food! Everything was fabulous. Will come back again and again.“

“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 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.“
