Heard about this place from John Barr. Came here twice. First time I had the Greek omlette. Second time had the matzo ball soup and cheese blintz. All amazingly good food. The staff are very friendly as well.

I've been going there whenever I get the chance got over 30 years. Everything is delicious! Pierogis and soups with challah bread and butter are my favorites.

This is my new favorite place and I wish I could give it like thirty stars. Sorry my photos are so horrendous, the food was so good I only remembered to take pictures after I'd already demolished much of the meal, the meal that will go in down in history as one of the best meals of my life. Soup is always too cold whenever I order it anywhere, but their lentil soup was perfect, scorching in the best way. It was also the absolute best lentil soup I've ever had. I really don't know I've been wandering through life without the grand gift that is B&H Dairy. The food is comforting and flavorful and you can tell so much care goes into all of it. The space is kind of cramped but that's part of the charm. We got chatting with the delightful couple next to us who gave us their recommendations and correctly told us we'd have our minds blown by whatever we got- which turned out to be lentil soup, borscht, boiled pierogis with sour cream and onion, and their sweet potato knish with mushroom gravy. Everything was beyond perfect. World-changing. It felt like a religious experience. I was moved nearly to tears. I have so much love for this wonderful wonderful restaurant and I can't wait to become a regular and try absolutely everything.Vegetarian options: Mind-altering healing soul-savingly good

There is nothing to say that has not already been said. They've been here serving kosher food since 1938, when this was the Yiddish theatre district. Anything with their challah is magical. The macaroni & cheese is awful. This place is part of the fabric of NYC, & hopefully will be here for many more decades.

I don't find the flavors spectacular and it's not the healthiest, but it is a solid place with amazing value and the sweetest staff that should be supported (not to mention a piece of NYC history). Some items (in my case the grilled cheese) have the potential to become favorites and really hit the spot! True neighborhood gem.

Don't know if it was an off day for B & H but I decided to revisit this place after many years having fond memories of their traditional yummy dishes. Well to my surprise the food was almost tasteless. I ordered their daily special of salmon croquettes with a side of steamed veggies and Mac and cheese. I also had a cup of matzo ball soup. The soup was loaded with pepper. The croquettes were blah and the Mac and cheese had no flavor. Very disappointing

The food is wonderful. We've been there many times and are never disappointed. We had a milkshake on our last visit, but it wasn't thick enough. We've had much better elsewhere. NO ambiance. It's always very crowded but worth it for the food and divine challah!

Everything about B&H is five star. It’s possibly the most crammed restaurant in the city. It’s a quintessential dining experience, like going to Katz deli.I ordered the whitefish salad on challah with a cup of matzoh ball soup. Delicious. They took my order by calling out from the counter while I was sitting at a table. Then, when the food was ready, they handed it to folks eating at the counter who had to turn around and serve me.Everything about this place is old school New York and I love it

Delicious, quick service, I will definitely come back.The staff is cheerful, but it felt like they wanted you to leave quickly, there were no people, it confused me a bit.Everything else was nice.
It's really bad when I had to wait for a table. Which I understand when it's busy. But the cook has an attitude when I complained to the waitress on why 3 yes 3 tables came behind me has their food and eating and nobody even came to take our order. Why is the cook even yelling at me when I'm not even talking to him. It's a real zoo in there. It's incredible this place is even busy.
