Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Borough Hall Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

This was my first time in the city, there for a trade show. My first day in town, a friend of mine at the show was raving about eating here the night before. We were to go out that night for dinner and she said we need to go here. Since she had just been there the night before I suggested we go somewhere else but she insisted we go back, even though she was just there. So we did. No regrets for either of us. The food and service was just as she described. Amazing! The host was fantastic, the servers were friendly and knowledgeable, and the chef came out to chat with our group. I’m not sure when I’ll be in Brooklyn again but I know where I’m eating!

I am extremely happy with my experience dining at Queen. This is by far the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. We generally try to make it to Queen at least a few times each year. From the minute you walk into the restaurant, you are professional greeted and catered to. The last time I was there (about 3 months ago), I ordered their Italian lasagna. The dish was outstanding and tasted like it came straight out of Italy. Along with the meal we also had bread with olive oil. The bread was very good. I even ordered a glass of red wine to compliment the meal and was fantastic. The customer service was next to none. We were engaged with very friendly staff during the entire meal. To top off the meal, I ordered dessert at the end. The price of the food was a really good value for what you get and is worth every penny spent. I appreciate the compassionate staff and recommend everyone to try this place out.

Great place to shop for organic foods and all organic fresh produce. Many vegan options and a nice bulk room with grains, peas/beans, nuts, etc. If you are looking for an odd culinary item you just might find it here. They also have a great selection of natural body/hair care products. There is a section to get dried herbs and plants for medicinal purposes and essential oils. To top it off, there is a self service food bar full of plant based foods, a cold section for prepared salads, sandwiches, puddings, parfaits, cakes, etc. Then there is the juice bar, I love the juice bar. As I am writing this I'm thinking they fit all this a rather small space but it works very well.😉

Huge selection of organic, nature-inspired food and other items. Self-serve areas, hot drinks plus a to-go section makes it easy to grab a healthy bite. Pricey-look for sale items throughout the store.

Great place for organic produce, and products. Organic hot/cold food and soups. Highly recommend if you're into that stuff

Fernando Pena - 23 days ago

A great place to go for all of your natural, organic, vegetarian, and vegan needs! Has a hot food section as well as a smoothie bar. A health and beauty counter. A wide variety of everything. It can be a bit pricey but most natural food places are. The staff is very wonderful, I went looking for Bentonite clay and an associate helped me look for about 10 mins until someone else came and joined us in the search.

OMG!! I first went to this store when it was located on Montague Street over 30 years ago. Back then they made Tofu Tuna and other delicious items. This guy Keith used to do a lot of the cooking. I still go to Perelandra on Remsen Street. I am enjoying their new hot food buffet and grab n go items for lunch.

I've always loved the legendary Hanks for the people and it's vibe. I'm thankful it's still alive in this new and sweet little Texas space of a food hall. Bartenders are the same and still the best! This place cannot and will not die, thank god!

Alf Lenni Erlandsen - 1 month ago

Hank’s is a great bar that is definitely going to be missed, as it was sorely needed for this area that keeps getting more and more boring big box stores. Great prices and atmosphere at Hank’s as it’s a classic dive and small venue. The duct tape isn’t for show it’s really holding the place together.

Jesse Meyerson - 2 months ago

Hail the new Hank's! The place is bigger, the bathrooms are usable, and they still have $3 PBR's! Plus, it's steps from the A train at Jay Street! Oh, how I pray for my liver.

Great honky tonk dive bar. Live music, cheap drinks. Not a lot of seating aside from the bar.

Jon Reiss - 2 months ago

The live band there (the glass state) was really awesome. They rock. The drinks are reasonably priced. Nice little place to kick back with a few buddies and have a cold one. Very easy to get to and find

OMG!!! The staff was beyond great. I went with my wife and child and from the moment we walked in everyone was friendly. The food was great but it's Shake Shack so that's a given. But the staff.... One gentlemen was nice enough that he offered us free drink refills and helped us get a to go box. Again the staff was wonderful, a rare sight now a days.

Our Brooklyn Bridge tour guide recommended this place to us and referred to it as “The Best Burger In Brooklyn”. Our burgers were by far the very best anyone in our whole family had ever had. The people there were so kind as well. 100% recommend.

Ann Navarrete - 1 month ago

Quite good fast food burger. I love the bacon cheese fries though. It's always busy, but people are going in and out fast, so you can usually find a place to sit.

Vladimir Volkanovski - 12 days ago

Love the burgers here. It's always on point. The wait is of course crazy. I tried their app but it didn't work out.

Maggie Choong - 9 days ago

You can’t go wrong with Shake Shack!! I went to this location when they opened up for the day and the Shack Burger and fries were good as usual. I’ll always eat this over something like McDonalds, which quite frankly doesn’t compare. Great customer service here and they move fast.

Living in a food desert on SE side of Brooklyn it's a huge pleasure to find quality sushi in this area. Got to sit near the fish tank and they provided excellent company lol. The food and service were wonderful. Due to pregnancy I had limited sushi options but the ones I had were delicious. When I'm in the area next I will definitely come back. Great comfy decor and seating.

Stephanie Benitez - 20 days ago

Nanatori seems inviting at first, and certainly is, but I do have somethings to say regarding the other pressing details. Go into this place knowing you are going to get sushi. Any other food item you may be considering will make for a very interesting experience. Funny enough, I've never gotten sushi from Nanatori. Sure they have some of the best deals for a sushi lunch, but that's about it. I can tell the sushi is fresh and not slopped together, no doubt about it. But other than that, I would not recommend anything else.

Good services attitude but not authentic Japanese Food AT ALL. Won't come again. We ordered Curry with Chicken, which is Indian style. And Oyakodon, which is indeed American Chinese dishes.

Food is usually good. It's a good place to go for a quick meal after the gym... Chicken salad. Slow to come take your order but if recommend it.

Cherylann Simon - 22 days ago

Sports bar with good selection of beers and a cider on tap. Kitchen stays open for last orders till 2345. Fairly large menu for snacks and mains, American style. The standard burger was good and I recommend the Angry Orchard cider. It went very well with the burger and fries. Open until 2am.

First time there. Nice selection of beers. All the food was very good. Nice atmosphere. Only draw back was the music was a little to loud. Hard to hear table conversations. Servers were also very good.

O'Keefe's was recommended by a Kind "Irish Man"!! The Long Wooden Bar was well stocked and had a large selection of Good "Cold" Draft Beer!! Waitress was Fast and Friendly! She even chilled the Glass!! It's a Friendly Stop near the Courts.

Love these sandwiches. The staff was super nice and quick. It was the highlight of my day at jury duty.

Justin Fish - 8 days ago

I’m sandwich superstar at potbelly. I use to frequent the one in the 20’s but have been confined to this one due to jury duty. I’ve been four times in the last week as there are limited options in the area. It’s an alright bite and a decent place to eat. Customer service is always friendly and the cookies are always banging. I’d give it five but It’s always so Smokey in any pot belly and it makes your close smell like ham for weeks. Some people might not mind that but I’d rather not smell like ham.

William Herrick - 2 months ago

Great customer service! I went to get lunch at Potbelly recently. At first, they were taking a while to make my salad and my friends got their food and were waiting for me. When I asked the employee, Nessa for an update on my salad, she noticed that my order was forgotten. With an great attitude, she stopped on what she was doing and made me salad. Also, for apologies, she paid for my salad. I am ever so grateful because I actually didn't have enough money in my credit card account to pay for my sandwich. So it was a coincidence. Thank you, Nessa! I hope that your blessings will come back to you ten times over.

The best soup n sandwich ever. i was on jury duty so i had to be quick.. i had chicken pot pie soup boyyyyy delicious n turkey n swiss on Italian bread toasted. OMG.. no pics because i ate that food in 3.5 seconds

Cathedral Perkins - 16 days ago

The sandwiches taste great here, especially the Pizza and Meatball sandwiches. My only two problems here is a few of the employees be grumpy sometimes and look at me while I'm eating. This makes me uncomfortable, but this establishment is in great condition and will succeed if a few actions change.

They are the absolute best. The staff are attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable to their customer base. They listen and respond with well-educated responses regarding their entire product lines. If there are products they don't carry, they make every effort to accommodate you--either with like or similar items in stock or, in the alternative, placing a special order for you. This is definitely my go to for great freshly-made pastries, well prepared hot dishes and the freshest variety of food stuffs anyone could want. Their spice and condiments selection as well as cheese selection is SICK!!! THE BEST!!!!

Geryl Million - 11 days ago

This place is overpriced for what they offer. Their buffet for breakfast and lunch is the same food all the time. Many things are under cooked and I have gotten sick on their mac and cheese, and fresh made salad. They give no discounts for the overcrowded shopping experience. I would not recommend spending your money here, it is not worth it at all ! Go to the Keyfood further down Montague Street where they have daily specials, and you can actually get your money's worth. Enjoy

Good fruit selection. They try to stuff every gourmet item they can think of in there so it has a crowded feeling. Much better than your run of the mill grocery store.

The new layout is very nice and open. There is seating on the main floor and more upstairs. For the kids there's also skeetball for them to play. A little annoying the bathrooms are upstairs, but at least there's an elevator as an option. The workers we interacted with were very nice and all smiles joking around and very pleasant. Pretty fun to have different food booths ranging from fried chicken to BBQ to pizza to dessert/coffee. Food was alright. From the BBQ the moist brisket was the best as it was the juiciest and not too fatty, but the rest was a bit dry. Fried chicken strips were tasty, but also a bit heavy on the deep frying part so was also a little dry. Got decent coffee at the dessert booth along with donuts. The donuts were a mixed bag between moist (blueberry which was the best) to dry (the chocolate which made it not good). Fun to try, but not enough to pull me back here.

The pizza and salad stalls have closed already- maybe something will fill those spots, or maybe this place will fold soon like its predecessor. I also take issue with calling this place a “food hall”. It’s more like a cafeteria, in that the stalls are all owned by the same concern, not operated by independent vendors each doing their own thing. It does make for an almost undefinable ‘similarity’ between the various stalls. I’ve come here 3 times now, but mainly because I’m frequently in the neighborhood with my kids. They enjoy having the options, and they don’t really have the palate developed to dislike anything as long as it’s fried and/or covered in cheese. I want to like this place. The atmosphere is pretty good, but I find the food to be sadly lacking; over salted, under fresh, and generally uninspired. Certainly not up to Austin standards. My other issue is the general management of the place. It doesn’t seem like some big things are being thought of. For instance, there are no napkins in the entire place as I sit here. I had to ask for some, and after a few minutes, someone brought out a small stack of paper towels from the bathroom. Empty napkin dispensers in all the places you expect to see them (filled). How do you open for the day without napkins? For a cool place in a great location, this food hall is consistently missing the mark with the food and other restaurant basics.

The setup is nice and the staff is friendly. I have not tried any of the places other than the taco stand. The food is meh. The meat is not seasoned very well the brisket taco was dry.

K Davis - 13 days ago

Man, the meat choices here? Frickin succulent. I enjoyed every bite plus had some beverages to wash it all down. Hands down a pretty awesome place for BBQ.

Excellent food, its delicious, but their service is terrible. If you have the patience, then enjoy! If I am paying for a meal, I expect better service than what they give.

Klunky The Clown - 1 day ago

Really solid Indian food - for $8 you get two vegetarian sides, rice and naan. I usually go in person, but I’ve ordered on their website (not seamless) and have never had an issue. It’s become a weekly lunch staple in our office - would highly recommend!

Sam Place - 2 months ago

Love this restaurant! I think a lot of their business is delivery orders because their humble dining area is usually not crowded. So the service is fast and the food is great!

Patrick Beecroft - 3 months ago

Really good food. Enjoyed the meal very much. The order was prepared in time and there were no issues ordering online. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Yashesh Goradia - 2 months ago

This place has very good Indian food. It is a bit on the pricey side however it is very well Worth it. The only downside to ordering food from here whether you are ordering it to pick up or to eat in the actual restaurant is that the food takes forever to be prepared. If you ever order from here for lunch Be sure to order at least 2 hours In advance
