Relaxed neighborhood spot that moved from their original location on 11th Ave to 9th Ave. Friendly folks, yummy bar food, and a nice “dad bar” type atmosphere that works for local regulars, sports teams after games, visitors, families. Food portions are super generous and they have all the staples like burgers, wings, etc. They’re also open daily for lunch/brunch. Not many bars with this vibe in the area - a great addition to the 50s on 9th Ave!

Was going to choose another restaurant and my guests wanted something simple. To my surprise the food was really good! The pulled pork sliders were delicious. The bartender was super cool and attentive. Will definitely go back

First time, perhaps last time, in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, since I was visiting from Los Angeles. Nice, cozy place with subdued lighting. I had skirt steak; my friends had chicken and fish, I believe. Lots of varieties of tater tots available, too. Prices reasonable.Parking: Doesn't seem to be parking except on the street, but I have little knowledge of Hell's Kitchen. I'm not sure if there are parking structures nearby.Wheelchair accessibility: This is an older, narrow building, not designed with wheelchairs in mind. Perhaps a wheelchair or two can fit in, but it may be a tight squeeze.

Mozzarella sticks weren't very good and the service was very slow.

Dropped in for a drink and dinner after a Broadway show. Good food, good service, and plenty of TVs with sport on. Will visit again.

Better than expected! Well crafted burger with flavor. Fries crispy and perfect. Late late night kitchen... like 1a. Everyone else was done around 1130p. Old school bar set up that spans back pretty far. It's a sports bar for sure, wish they had more than 2 channels on the 6-8 screens. I didn't drink but friends did and pleased with the pour. I had the retro burger (no cheese) and it was so filling! Served on an English muffin. Friends had theirs on a bun then the catfish Sammy was on a baguette and the fried chicken wrap was meaty. Perfection. Again--- BETTER than you would expect.

Ugh I miss this place so much ..I lived off 53rd and 10th at the Mercedes Benz building, so I’d walk there or order late night after partying, my absolute favorite memory of NYC…even the vegan options are stupendousVegetarian options: I was a pescatarian 2016-19 and this still was my favorite place the wraps the pickles omg, I’d eat mine and my girls when she’d fall asleep

I literally had the restaurant to myself on Friday for a few hours. The Thai wings were delicious paired with a Guinness and endless glasses of water.

Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, pulled pork tater tots and hot honey and garlic wings!!! The staff were so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome on our first night in New York. And from a UK tourist point of view it looks like the sports bars you see on the TV!!

Music is way too loud. Good music though. I wish I could have reviewed the food but the kitchen was closed so I had to eat somewhere else. Anyway, the drinks were normal. I really wished that music wasn’t as loud.
