Absolutely loved the food here, my first time ever stepping into Hard Rock and it was amazing I would surely go back. The staff was super polite and I just loved the positive energy everyone had, always on the move and attending. The seating was beautiful and there was just enough seats, which caught me by surprise since it was the Yankees opening day.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Brooke. She was hands down one of the best waitresses we have ever had anywhere. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, genuine, and made us feel completely taken care of without ever making us feel rushed.
You can tell when someone truly cares about the experience they’re giving their customers, and Brooke absolutely does. She went above and beyond throughout our entire meal and was a huge part of what made our experience so enjoyable.
Great service is one thing, but having someone with such a great personality who genuinely makes your night better is something completely different. Brooke is an absolute asset to this restaurant, and I hope management recognizes how special she is. We will definitely be back, and we would specifically ask to have Brooke again.
Thank you, Brooke, for such an amazing experience. You truly deserve the recognition!

Amazingly awesome night rocking at Yankee Stadium! ⚾🎸
From the electric energy in the stands to the mouthwatering food (hello loaded fries & steaks and sandwiches 👀🔥), everything was top-tier! But what really made the night unforgettable? The entire staff—from the gates to the vendors to the ushers—every single person was welcoming, professional, and clearly treated each other like family. 💙

We got to the stadium a bit early to have dinner before the game! We had such a great time at the Cafe! The atmosphere was alive and people chatting all over the place! We received the most excellent customer service by Erica! She was so friendly, professional, helpful and had attention to detail! Last but not least, the food was amazingly delicious and plentiful! It was my first time there but not my last!

Yankees fan heaven. Definitely so fun to check out. I felt like I was in a nightclub in the day. High energy, great drinks and fun DJ!
Arrive early to get a nice spot and pre game. Let’s go Yankees

Amazing atmosphere, service and food! Didn’t quite know what to expect, and discovered the HUGE bar area downstairs from the older bar that is open before the downstairs bar opens. We arrived about 3 hours before the gates open to Yankee Stadium. The owners are very clever in how they bring the older bar into the new bar! Love it!! How about the food - wings and fries are the bomb!!! My wife ordered a mediterranean salad and was quite impressed with the level of detail shown by the chef! The servers were also amazing and very attentive. We will definite be back!

This place is a Bronx staple and an awesome spot to go before or after Yankees games. The service is exceptional, and it’s clear that this is a very well run business. Its rare to see a well known bar stay on top of its game for as long as Billy’s has.
I’ve been going there for the last 10 years, and they’ve consistently delivered. If anything, I’d argue the place has gotten even better. From the food to the surprisingly reasonable drink prices compared to most bars in New York, to the atmosphere and overall experience, you simply can’t get what you get at Billy’s anywhere else in the world. There’s only one Billy’s sports bar & thats why I love this place and keep coming back every season.

This place is awesome and huge. Best place to hang out before a Yankee game. We were in town for a game and the world cup and found our way into Billys and were met by a lovely bartender with probably the best personality and customer interaction we experienced on our entire 3 day stay in NYC. Her name was Michelle C and we were happy to have her as our server bartender. She was incredibly acommodating, to all of our food and beverage needs. On top of that, she provided some of the best conversation and company. Definitely, we'll be back next time I'm in the bronx for a yankee game.

Not 100% happy with the meal. I found that most of my food was over seasoned with salt.
I couldn't finish my food and I suggested to my husband not to eat all his food. The food portions was small.
For the price that they charge I find its overrated and overpriced.
The staff is amazing and very accommodating.
Would I go again nah. One experience to this place is enough.

What a fantastic lunch with my hubby before the game especially with our charming and attentive waiter, Frank, who also made our drinks super special! We had been to the Yankees Steakhouse many times before and Frank made it perfect. The clam casino and crab cake were perfect and the filet mignon were like butter melted in your mouth. The cheesecake was rich and delicious too. We hope that we get to see Frank again in our future visits.

A Yankees Game Tradition ⚾️💙
NYY Steakhouse is a must for me and my husband before every Yankees game! We’re huge fans, and after a 2-hour drive, it’s the perfect way to start the day and gives us something extra to look forward to. The food is always amazing—we always get the seafood tower, ribeye, sides, and drinks—and the staff is incredible every time. It’s one of our favorite traditions! 🥩⚾️💙

Had the petite filet mignon, cooked okay, maybe a little overdone to my liking, but still good. Regular French fries are also good, and there are plenty to share, even for 3 people.

I was disappointed in the food. Add the mushrooms and onions and they were made with vinegar and seared or pan sauteed with any kind of crust so they were soggy
I have the tomahawk steak which for some reason they cut off the bone and sliced for me which I didn't ask for nor did I like it I wish they would have told me they were going to do that
Also the steak was below what I've had their in the past it wasn't as juicy or melt in your mouth
Not sure I would book that restaurant again there are much better places in New York

Got the Mexican omelette and added tk saus and Muenster cheese and it was outstanding!! They have hash browns which a lot of places don’t have and they were nice and crispy. I got a short stack of pancakes stuffed with bananas and walnuts and they were perfection. The waitress made sure we had everything we needed and was attentive. GREAT SPOT 👍🏼

Convenient to Yankee Stadium which was primary reason for choice. Got Veggie Panini which was so hot I nearly burned my mouth. Waited a long time to cool down. Portions are generous, food quality is good, service also good, but as with most places in this area, ambiance reminds me of an old truck stop.

I like this place very much, has been my go to spot for many years. My family and I usually go on Sundays for breakfast, but this time I decided to go with just my daughter (party of 2) for breakfast on a weekday to spend some time together, but was surprised to see the girl automatically add 18% gratuity. When I asked the girl this time if tip is always included she said yes. Dont get me wrong we always tip (in cash) because they are usually very attentive even when they are busy on weekends. I had never noticed gratuity being added even when we go as a party of 5. It made me wonder it that means we have been double tipping?! Guess we have to pay more attention to our receipts when paying 🫤

A great spot to grab a drink before the Yankees game! They have a decent beer selection and a full bar. We didn't eat, but the food smelled amazing. Several TVs were showing the World Cup, which was a nice touch. The vibe is really cool in here, too. The staff was fine, though it can take a little while to grab a drink when it gets busy. I'd definitely return next time I'm in town for a game.

It’s the most tolerable of the traditional Yankee bars, for whatever that’s worth. The wings were solid, the beer selection is below my standards but survivable. Music is a little weird but not necessarily in a bad way. Service was fine.

Sure, you come on game day. Have you been on a regular Saturday? Or any day? The kitchen is a hidden gem in the South Bronx with daily specials that scream homemade, the staff is next to none, and the vibe is great whether you want the jukebox or the sports.

Ohkay so I ate here for the first time today and I don’t know why some people say it’s bland .. id say its a different type of carribean cooking maybe belize or dominica carribean island but its still good . A more healthier choice . Less sodium 🧂. And most importantly NO SUGAR IN The OXTAIL OR RICE !!!! Because really and truly most so called Jamaican restaurant here in America love to put sugar in everything which makes it non authentic.

My food was packaged to the top. Everything was great. The steak was tender and juicy. No fat on the meat. Rice was great and seasoned. The flavors was immaculate and the cabbage had the perfect crunch! I will be a returning customer.

Stopped by to get some lunch before a Yankees game when a big storm passed by and delayed the first pitch. We got to stay in and watch the staff serve people for an hour with THE BEST hospitality, even when people came in rude. The food was amazing, they let us get settled and ready for the game. Can’t recommend this place enough. Even when nobody was watching, they were the BEST. I have to come here everytime I’m in NYC now.

I ordered the 1 slice salmon dinner through door dash with a side of Mac and cheese and a side of rice and peas. Not only did I receive my order more than an hour later while my dasher sat there for 20 mins, it was not all that I ordered. They decided to replace my rice and peas with sweet potatoes without letting me know at all. Also, the sweet potatoes were half sweet and half bland and cold, then the Mac and cheese was cold and hard, the only good thing was the salmon and it wasn’t very well seasoned. I’ve ordered from them plenty of times but today was the last day honestly.

This is my favorite place to eat. The staff is so friendly and kind. The cooks make amazing tasting food. You can see the same people coming here to eat all the time. It's a favorite of a lot of people. If you ever want to try some great food come like 10am when the hot food comes out or grab a burger, salad, smoothie or Habbi Tea...

I went to Dimple and honestly, the chicken wings are the best in town! The flavor was amazing — crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The food came out hot and fresh, and the service was super friendly. If you’re craving good Chinese food, I definitely recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed!

Out of towners visiting friends. Ordered two types of dumplings (steamed and fried) and chicken hibachi with yum yum sauce and was very glad we did. Food was fantastic!! Definitely recommend for quick meal. Prices were great too especially since I had multiple children to feed as well. Will be visiting again when we return to NY

The place is a hole in the wall but the food is surprisingly good. Got the beef hibachi bento box and everything was really good. One of the better options if you’re near the courthouse or Yankee Stadium. Not a lot of space to sit and eat but most probably come here for takeout anyway.
