Love their burgers! I always get them well done. They are nice and juicy and the best with lettuce tomato and onions. My baby had a mix of ice cream chocolate and vanilla with Oreo topping and he loved it. The staff was very accommodating attentive and friendly.

Got to try Shake Shack in NY!! We tried this outlet simply because it located at the corner of our hotel, literally. It was up to my expectations. Food was spot on, vanilla shake was flavourful, fries were fluffy inside and crispy outside. We tried the Truffle Burger had good beef taste, texture was moist and beefy, the truffle sauce gave enough depth to the burger. Liked the beef flavour and taste, unlike what I had in Asia - lacking of what I just described above. Service was fast and accurate, another +👍🏻!! There was a lot of customers kept coming in but SS staffs managed to keep them moving quite fast so there wasn’t a lot of customers crowding around waiting for the food. Overall, good experience. Well done, Shake Shack 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Stopped by Shake Shack Theatre Street, NYC for a late-night bite, and even at 10 PM, the place was packed—a testament to its popularity, but also a reminder that you might need to wait for a table. Ambience was nothing special, just your typical fast-casual setup, but the food made up for it. Tried the Truffle Burger, and it delivered-tender, juicy patties with deep, rich flavors that didn't disappoint. The milkshake? A standout! Fragrant, creamy, and indulgent without feeling too heavy. Bonus points for table delivery, which made the experience smoother. If you don't mind the crowd, it's a solid spot for a satisfying, late-night burger fix. Would I return? Yes, if I am looking for a quick meal.

The burgers were incredibly delicious. The shakes are a MUST TRY! We tried chocolate as well as cookies and cream shake –pure bliss! Thick and yummy! The only downside was the wait for seating. Service was quick and efficient. The food was definitely worth the wait. Overall, highly recommend this spot for a tasty, satisfying meal!

Excellent experience! We had a reservation for 6pm. Pack your patience because it’s a popular restaurant. We were sat about 6:30pm which wasn’t bad. It was cold and raining but it was worth the wait. The food portions are MASSIVE! We had a party of eight and still had three big to-go boxes. I told the waiter my plan was to give food to people who needed it, and he added plasticware. He was awesome! It was my birthday and I was surprised with delicious ice cream. So good! Thanks, Carmines! Definitely returning next time!

Carmine’s in Times Square is a fantastic place for anyone who loves classic Italian-American food served family-style. The portions are huge—perfect for sharing—and the atmosphere is warm, loud, and full of energy, just like a big family dinner. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and spaghetti with meatballs, and both were delicious, rich in flavor, and clearly made with care. It gets busy, so making a reservation is a smart idea, especially if you’re with a group. Service was friendly and fast despite the crowd. A great spot for a hearty meal in the heart of NYC.

Carmine’s in Times Square is a favorite for their incredible family-style dining experience! It’s an absolute must every time we visit New York City — and somehow, it gets better each time. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing, making it ideal for groups and family dinners. We always start with a pitcher of their sangria — both the red and white are refreshing, fruity, and delicious. Some of our favorites include the shrimp pasta with white sauce, lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, Caesar salad, and fried calamari. Every dish is served hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor — you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. What really makes Carmine’s stand out, aside from the food, is the outstanding service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient, even when the restaurant is packed. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and perfect for making memories around the table. Pro tip: Make reservations ahead of time — they stay booked, and it’s easy to see why! If you're visiting NYC, Carmine’s in Times Square is an experience you don’t want to miss!

Carmines is a fantastic Italian restaurant with a great vibe and warm atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious—authentic flavors and generous portions. One dish labeled “for two” can easily feed more; the portions are huge! The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. It’s a popular spot, so I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. A must-visit for Italian food lovers!

Came here for my daughter’s 26th birthday while visiting NYC. Our server Linda was great. She gave suggestions from cocktails to food. The stuffed mushrooms were so delicious. The Sauage and peppers used to stuff the mushrooms took the flavor to another level. The shrimp with angel hair pasta white wine & garlic was mouth watering. Chicken Scaloppine w/ Lemon & Butter was the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back when we return to NYC. 10/10

I had always wanted to try this place. The service was exceptional by my server once seated, I gave her a large tip. So friendly and helpful in a really sincere manner. I ordered a platter and it was good. The cheddar bay biscuits were mouth watering. The lobster was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was nice, the scallops nice but a little overdone. Overall enjoyed it and delicious cocktail. Couldn't finish it, huge meal. Thought it was odd the cocktail menu had no prices . They are $13.99 each, not bad

Had an amazing dinner at Red Lobster! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked to perfection. The highlight of our experience, though, was definitely our server, Crystal K. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Her service was top-notch, and she really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We had an unforgettable time, and the food was just bomb! Highly recommend this spot, definetely reserve the table upfront

There is lot of confusion about where to eat in Time square, NYC, there is plenty of restaurants but this Red Lobster is unique, less crowded, great hospitality pleasant ambience and finally great food. Moreover they maintain clean restroom. This is my first time to taste Red Lobster..wowwwwing taste, the price is $59 expensive but good for 2 persons. Margaritas so good again very very expensive..altogether $92 bucks, but hey you are at World’s Top happening place..worth it

For me being a person who can't eat seafood Angelica was amazing at recommending options. Came for my daughter and I don't regret it at all. Food was amazing. The margarita flight was good too. Definitely coming back again.

I haven't been to a Red Lobster like this one. Absolutely fine dining. I even loved the music 🎶. The food was delicious. Our host was super nice and friendly. I'm going to post his picture. Just know if you get him, everything will be perfect. I highly recommend this location.

Dave and Buster’s hosted my girls flag football team banquet. The room was clean and had a great layout. We had 2 TVs and a video projector. The food came out exactly on time. Special thanks to the manager Peyton and our server Harrison. They ensured that our day was amazing and that every request was fulfilled.

I love Dave & Buster's the place always has a fun vibe and you can go wrong with that. The games were enjoyable of course. This particular location is very huge with the 2 bar areas one in the dining restaurant and the other in the game area. The food and drinks was super good, I ordered myself a Lemon Drop with the spicy smash burger and truffle fries and was not disappointed.

VR, Fake axe throwing, tons of prizes to redeem and win and plenty of games to play!! I think the description kind of speaks for itself. The setting where it’s located albeit a very crowded and noisy environment actually ends up being the best place for business. 2 escalators takes you upstairs where you meet just a buttload of craziness in the form of game sounds, flashing and disco lights, kids running around and just the sound of different games playing all at once. For an old or just plain cranky person this would be hell but for me I absolutely love it! I played all games some more then once in order to get better scores and honestly it’s much more different then using a controller on a console or gaming pc at home. There is much more coordination needed and requires a great amount of skill in order to obtain the highest of scores. All games are accessed through a card which you need to purchase for the prices listed. I would suggest putting $20-$40 in order to actually play all the games and win enough tickets on the card to redeem any prizes in the booth behind. They have tons of selections to choose from and all from ranging from a few measly tickets to thousands! I really did enjoy this place and I believe it actually updates by the month with new games, better prizes and even more selections. The restaurant and bar is ok I guess wasn’t really what I was focusing on to be honest. Food is a bit pricey and non reasonably portioned so I wouldn’t recommend bringing the family there to eat because it is quite messy and annoying when you have teens and teenagers bugging or pranking you while you eat.

Hosted my daughter’s 12th birthday here. We had a great time. Our diverse group was happy all the way around. Our server Nick was very attentive, proactive, and energetic. The entire staff was available and eager to help. Our family was impressed and my daughter said it was ‘the best day ever’. Thank you for making it happen!

This place just isn’t my demographic, but my kid would live her if she could. Games, food, TVs and alcohol… yeah it’s a great formula. There are good food and drink specials, but the food is average at best and don’t expect top notch service. Come join the fun in arcade land.

Me and my boyfriend came here on a gay date night last week and had a wonderful time together! We r from DE and drove up for dinner and a show. We both got burgers and we loved them! Cooked to perfection as well. We sat in a booth and had a great time together! The decor here is unlike any other hard rock I have ever been to. We sat at a booth because tables make u look low class and inferior and submissive. If you don’t wanna get bullied and picked on by me and the frat boys u must sit in a booth. Me and the frat boys will look down on anyone Sitting in a table. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be back here again we had so much fun looking down upon other diners sitting at tables. This is an awesome LGBT friendly restaurant as well! Definitely come check this place out.

Visited here for the first time and it was a great place to eat, great staff and delicious burgers! Morgan took care of us after the initial girl that showed us to our table seemingly got caught up with other customers. He was really friendly, took time to chat about the restaurant and provided us with great service! The café also has some amazing pieces of rock history which I'm sure you'll find one that you're really stoked about seeing!
Matt's Reviews - a month ago

I actually loved this place! Basically a history rock museum packed into a restaurant/bar with high class society. They have live music with live bands performing at the same time as your meal with 30+ waiters and waitresses working simultaneously to provide around the clock service. The food is excellent but I just can’t get around the price. There is also a souvenir shop up top with plenty of merchandise to choose from. When I mentioned a museum, I mean there are literally pieces of history encased in glass panels with inscriptions and titles explaining the history behind it all. Plenty of places to take pictures all around and the scenery is stunning. Talk about high class I mean if you want to dine in alone it’s the best option considering the waiting period if you have people with you who want to dine in. But individuals can sit anywhere at the bar and not have to wait considering the waiting period could be 1-2 hours minimum. They also have a custom dog tag engraving machine where you can add any sort of caption you want to the back as a little reminder of where you went. Steaks are pretty expensive ranging from $40-$60 plus tip (Don’t be cheap. It is a high class restaurant with 30+ years of history).

Hard Rock never disappoints, even though it's been years since I've been in one, the location in Time Square was awesome. We didn't have a reservation, walked in and joined the waiting list and enjoyed the store and displays until our table eas ready. Keff was our server, he was very attentive to us and delightful. Enjoyed all the different eras of music and seeing music videos being streamed during dinner was really nice.
ERICKA KIRKLAND - 2 months ago

I would say overall, my experience was wonderful, mainly because of the bartender that was serving me. He was fantastic. Made sure that I got my drink fast. And made sure my order was in. He also made sure to check in with me regularly. But also spaced my appetizer and my main entrée so I didn’t receive them back to back. The atmosphere was awesome as well. Live music was basically what I was looking for. You should definitely come check out this Hard Rock Cafe, especially when they have live music.

What a great find!!!! So nice to find a place with so many vegan options. I wanted to try it all! Service and friendly staff were exceptional and the food incredibly delicious. Wait time was minimal with a small seating area. Perfect to order and go or stay in to munch. Prices were reasonable. Seriously, you won't be disappointed. This has been added to one of our favorite NYC spots to grab something healthy and tasty on the go. Wish we had found it sooner. Will definitely be back!

Amy Lee - 3 weeks ago

First off, aside from the food, the service was great and the guy working was super friendly and patient. He didn’t rush and was very warm. The food however, 10/10. I got a smoothie, the veteran, and it was SO good. I swear they put crack in it or something because I would inject that thing into my veins if I could. The bowls, amazing. I had yellow rice with potatoes, spicy korean noodles, greek salad, and tofu with gochujang and nearly jizzed my pants it was so good. If I could make it spicier I would have, but overall it was amazing. They had these giant cookies too that looked immaculate. I highly recommend going.

Absolutely Amazing Breakfast Spot! Green Symphonie was our go-to place every single morning during our stay — and for good reason! Whether it was a fresh smoothie or one of their delicious bowls, everything we tried was simply sensational. Full of flavor, healthy, and made with love. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure everything is just right. You can really feel the passion behind what they do. If you're in town and love great food that makes you feel good — don’t miss this place. Truly a gem. Highly, highly recommended!

Stepping into Birdland feels like stepping back in time — in the best way possible. The intimate setting, steeped in jazz history, immediately wraps you in warmth and nostalgia. The acoustics are sublime, every note floating effortlessly through the room, making even the quietest ballads feel personal. The lineup the night I visited was stellar. The performers had a deep connection with the audience, blending technical mastery with heartfelt improvisation. Especially moving was the encore — soft, melancholic, and utterly captivating. Food and drinks are classic and comforting. While not the star of the show, the service is friendly and attentive, letting the music remain front and center. If you’re in NYC and crave a night of world-class jazz in a space that respects the tradition while embracing the now, Birdland is a must. Whether you’re a lifelong jazz aficionado or simply seeking an unforgettable evening, you’ll leave with your soul humming.

Wonderful jazz club. It's a fantastic experience. They provide an amazing time and the food is great as well. We heard wonderful music and just had so much fun. Love going there. We've been several times and hope to see more great sets in the future. It's a great New York City institution.

Not my usual scene but was a surprisingly good night out. The place was packed and I would recommend picking up tickets in advance as there was a few folks who came hoping to get tickets at the door but couldn't. Service was fast and friendly and the food was better than we expected. I had the steak and my wife had the Mac and cheese both of which were cooked to order and tasted pretty good. Dessert was also good, mixed sorbet and the creole bread pudding. Music was cool with a good vibe throughout the set. I would definitely recommend if you want to do something a bit different.
Derek “Scrapsapien” McGearty - 3 months ago

Buy your tickets in advance most shows are nearly sold out! All the musicians were fantastic, making this a must-visit spot in New York for any jazz lover. Each show lasts about two hours, and they host three performances daily. Highly recommend trying the ribs!

I go here as often as I can. This place has great food, amazing drinks and always welcoming. Some days are insanely busy but let's be real thats the city life. This was one of the times I brought my kids and the waiter was exceptional, he was patient and worked with them. Food was out quick and was on point. Crispy wings, med rare steak, fresh fries, my son lived the henny burger and my go to is the onion loaf and chef's kiss it was perfect in every way. Drinks are worth every cent.

This place was highly recommended so we decided to give it a try during our trip to NYC. The atmosphere was very upbeat! It was a nice crowd of people there but the service was amazing. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious!! We tried the sticky wings and ribs! The portion size was just right, we actually had leftovers. Totally worth the experience!!

So, we decided to have a late grubs. Location is everything, you know? One of our meals got forgotten, and we had to follow up with the waiter and apologized, we had to made sure he remove it completely from our bill. Oh, and guess what? The waiter didn’t even serve us the chocolate bon bons! On a brighter note, we still enjoyed the wings and 🍹drinks. (FYI: check your bill they include the gratuity)

First time at Bowlero Times Square and I had a great time. The whole place is spacious with multiple floors & different bar options and of course bowling lanes all over the place. Price was affordable, even for our Saturday visit. Definitely recommend this spot for a fun night out with friends.

Great experience and fast service. Took my boy out for his birthday and enjoyed myself. The drinks were great and the tacos delicious. I surprisingly won the game and I’m terrible at bowling. This place is great for family during the day and for friends at night. Overall great place. It also has a nice arcade as well

Bowling in the heart of Times Square. I believe the place is a fairly new location. The staff was nice and the place was clean, we ordered nachos and beer and the size was very large. Nothing stands out, but the place is more than adequate if you are in the mood to bowl near Times Square.
George Fine - 4 months ago

Beautiful bowling alley and very nice lighting for a good bowling game. I’ve been to other Bowlero locations but nothing compares to this one. The whole place is huge and very spacious so you’re not crammed and have a lot of personal space to your lane. Everything was clean and easy to access, all in all, everyone had a great time altogether for my friends birthday. Will be back!

The food was okay with a fair serving that comes with 3 sauces. Coconut shrimp were very strong in that flavor.v Comes with fries. The original frozen margarita surely was frozen, probably need a bigger straw to drink it. It tasted very syrupy, sweet. The cup had a crack in it and leaked all over the table. The waitress looked after this. The cutlery was dirty. Service is quick, food and drink came out in a reasonable time. The atmosphere was good but it was very cold sitting at the table.

Twelve years ago, I stumbled upon Bubba Gump for the first time—drawn in not just by the smell of sizzling shrimp but by the unmistakable feeling that I was stepping into a piece of cinema history. Inspired by Forrest Gump, one of the greatest and most heartwarming movies ever made, this restaurant isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to relive a story that touched millions. Since that first visit, Bubba Gump has become a must on every trip I make to the U.S. or the U.K. There’s something timeless and comforting about it. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with nods to the film—from the license plates and memorabilia to the trivia cards on the table and the classic “Run Forrest Run / Stop Forrest Stop” signs that bring smiles every time. The New York location, nestled right in the hustle of Times Square, captures that charm perfectly. It’s a quirky escape from the rush of the city, and whether you’re there for the shrimp po’ boy, the bucket of boat trash, or a slice of key lime pie, there’s an unmistakable sense of fun and familiarity. The service is always upbeat, the portions generous, and the vibe unforgettable. For me, Bubba Gump isn’t just about food—it’s about a connection to a film that celebrates heart, resilience, and simple truths. It’s become a tradition, a comfort, and a little reminder that “life is like a box of chocolates.” And this box? Always worth opening!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Times Square offers a fun and lively atmosphere, perfect for fans of Forrest Gump or anyone looking for classic American seafood. The staff is friendly and the service is efficient, even during busy hours. The shrimp dishes are the highlight, with plenty of options to choose from. The decor filled with movie references adds a nice touch to the experience. Prices are a bit touristy, but that’s expected for the location. It’s a solid spot if you want decent food with a themed experience right in the heart of NYC.

You might expect Bubba Gump in Times Square to be just another chain restaurant among the many in the area but this one truly stands out. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was nothing short of exceptional. Everyone in our party enjoyed our meals. I personally recommend the Jambalaya and Garlic Bread! Our server, Brandi, and the GM, Shawn, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They both went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Add in the amazing view and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend if you're in Times Square and looking for a great meal with even better service!

I had an amazingbtime & even more amazing time interacting with my waiter for the night. Which I'd found out so many inspiring things aside from his name learning that he also has an passion for music! It had been a first time experience in dining for me & definitely loved every moment of it. Not to mention the view of the city lights are amazing at night.
