Great food. Huge portions. Best if you are in a large group since each entree feed 3 people. We loved the calamari and chicken parmigiana. Very generous bread baskets. The titanic ice cream dessert was delicious. It’s a little loud so you have to speak loudly for conversation.

Honestly, I don’t even know what we ate, but that plate was straight-up family-size…and worth every single penny. The food’s fire, and this spot’s definitely made for three or more people. Leftovers? Next-day magic! Staff’s chill, vibes are good…won’t be the last time we roll through. Heads up though: if you wanna sit inside, reserve ahead. Otherwise, you’re outside or waiting in line.

The food was phenomenal! The Caprese salad was the best I've ever had. We loved the atmosphere and service was great! Everything is served family style and one dish can feed 2-4 people. In our case, these dishes were enough for 6 individual meals!

If you want large portions this is the place for it. Huge food with good quick service. Okay quality wise but if you are hungry the perfect place. Drinks were pretty good and nice if you are going with large group and seeing broadway show.

Our waitress was great and the food superb. However, this place should come with a warning for the ultimate educated - you will not go away hungry and the portions a VERY large, bring friends. They do tell you it is family style, them mean an old style italian family, large family style. You will not go away unsatisfied or hungry.

Food was fresh and delicious and the server Rose was very kind and courteous. She delivered on service. She kept asking how everything was and brought us our drinks and food in a timely manner. She was awesome!!! Great personality!!Absolutely the best server at Red Lobster in Times Square on 8/21/2025 one day before my birthday. Couldn’t desire better🎉🙌🏽

The food is quite good. It's a bit pricey, but the portions are huge. We had the best service from Jeff, the friendly attentive waiter who attended to our table. It's a good seafood place, and I do recommend.

Amazing experience at Red Lobster Times Square! The seafood was fresh and delicious, and the service made it even better. My server Sam was incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. A perfect spot for seafood lovers in NYC— highly recommend this place and Sam’s warm hospitality! Will come back again sure ! 🦞 🦐

Rasheed was wonderful! The service he gave our family was on point! Never had to ask for refills and the portions of food were very big. Everything we ordered came out perfectly. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

An incredible experience thanks to Donna! We recently visited Red Lobster for a special occasion and had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made our night was the exceptional service we received from our waiter, Donna. It was our first time tackling a whole lobster, and we were struggling quite a bit, making a mess and wasting a lot of the delicious meat. Donna noticed our predicament and immediately came over to our table. She was so kind and helpful, explaining the entire process step-by-step. She even helped us with the cracking and showed us all the best tricks to get every bit of meat out. Because of Donna, what could have been a frustrating meal turned into a fun and memorable experience. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thank you, Donna, for your fantastic service and for making us feel so welcome! We can't wait to come back!

Firstly, the people who make this place what it is are amazing. The front desk staff were so polite and welcoming, setting a great tone from the moment we arrived. The venue itself is a goldmine of pleasure, filled with guitars, clothing, and memorabilia from pioneers in their respective fields — including notable names like The Bettles and Elvis Presley. We were lucky to visit on a day when the restaurant was offering a retro-themed throwback menu. We enjoyed delicious crispy chips, burgers, and a classic Coke and vanilla float — a real treat! However, I did have a disappointing experience in the merchandise and shop section. I had a receipt from the restaurant that offered a discount upon completing a questionnaire. Despite submitting it and being confident that all my details were correct, I never received the promised benefit or a follow-up email. The manager in that section could have been more helpful. I’d suggest revisiting this process, as it left a sour note in an otherwise fantastic visit — and is the reason for the missing star in my rating. All in all, a wonderful experience that I’d definitely recommend.

It was the best burger we ever had! From the beginning, Alyssa and Danielle were really helpful and kind, they brought us to the “bar section” even we had no reservation. The restaurant was full but we didn’t wait too much time to start eating. We ordered 2 burger that we devoured! The fries were so crispy at the outside and so soft in the inside! Also the bacon and the onion was crispy and flavourful and the meat was so tender. Believe me, the best burger you can eat in NY for sure!

I sat at the bar which is where I normally prefer especially when grabbing lunch on my own. I decided to try their version of a tropical margarita since the summer is coming to an end. I tried the “one night in Bangkok” shrimp for the appetizer which was in middle level of spicy. They had a burger world tour menu which I chose the Budapest burger (fair warning it has a ton of pulled pork on it) both were OK. The bartenders tried there best to make sure everyone was fine. They may have been short staffed since over 60% of the tables were empty yet the hostess was telling customers there was at least a half hour wait for tables & directing to the bar area. The restaurant is decorated with music memorabilia such as guitars & outfits musicians preformed with. As well a posters & such.

We were able to make a reservation so seating was quick and easy. A bit disappointing that sitting in the room with the stage wasn’t an option on the night we went. We sat in the room where the bar was and the music was so loud it was impossible to speak to anyone at our table. Per the hostess, there wasn’t anywhere quieter to sit us (I asked as my father is hard of hearing). We all got burgers which were good. Nacho appetizer was great! Our waiter was also amazing. Gift shop on the way out was fun. Memorabilia around the restaurant is worth checking out.

It offers a lively and iconic dining experience in the heart of Times Square. With its rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia, vibrant atmosphere, and friendly staff, it’s a must-visit for music lovers and tourists alike. The menu features classic American fare burgers, ribs, and cocktails… all served in generous portions. Though it can be crowded and prices are tourist-level, the energy and entertainment value make it worth the visit

Booked here to catch up with friends and grab some lunch before heading to the airport. This dinner had a great selection of drinks and hearty classics at good value. Would recommend the burgers and golden fingers. Great service from the staff with recommendations that we tried and enjoyed.

From the moment I walked in, this D&B in Times Square stood out. And I've been to many across states. It is spotless, vibrant, and one of the best-looking locations I’ve been to. When our server was delayed, Kenrick immediately noticed, stepped in without hesitation, and provided attentive, professional service that set the tone for the rest of our visit. Desmond, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was flawless. He was friendly, approachable, and took the time to carefully walk me through the bill, answering every question with clarity and patience. His professionalism and leadership truly shine, and it’s clear he sets the standard for excellence here. The combination of Desmond’s management and Kenrick’s attentive service made this visit memorable. I would recommend this D&B any day, especially with a team like this running the show. Outstanding people, outstanding service, and an overall wonderful experience.

This Dave & Buster’s is great! We came for my birthday party back in July and there was great service and food. Very good arcade atmosphere as well. We had to come back for fun because we had a few cards left over. Two employees named John and Kiari gave us great service and made our experience even better. It’s another plus that John’s a singer!
Love Rivera - a month ago

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.

This restaurant felt like a sexy scene out of a movie, or something you’d experience in Palm Springs. The fireplace is inviting, the leather “diner” seating felt luxurious not campy, and overall the restaurant was quiet enough to have a conversation without shouting (on a Wednesday night at 8 pm). The service made me feel like a celebrity and the food was impeccable. 10/10!

We came after a Broadway show and had the two course meal. The food quality, ambience, and the presentation was all excellent. Everything was pretty and you can tell they use real whole ingredients. The staff were very attentive and nice. We overall had a wonderful and relaxing evening after our show and we hope to return again. And the music was great!

We had a wonderful experience at the Lamb's Club Friday night. We had a Broadway play at 7:00 pm and picked the Lamb's Club because of their pretheater menu, knowing that they were understanding of the importance of leaving at a predetermined time to make it to our show. The day before our reservation, they checked in with me to see what time our show was. Our meal was perfectly timed and we never felt rushed or nervous about being late. The food was also amazing and the staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend for an amazing meal and definitely for anyone interested in a show later in the night.

I had a very mixed experience. I was definitely underdressed for the restaurant, but that shouldn’t affect the dining experience. Our server didn’t take the time to try to understand what we were asking for as far as wine goes. He really struggled with the idea that we’d want a wine that went with each course of the pre-theatre menu. The food was mostly good, with the exception of something gritty in my dining companion’s scallops. We spoke to someone who appeared to be a manager or other senior front of house staff who then told my companion her experience was not possible. It really felt like he was trying to gaslight her. Overall the restaurant has good service, food and ambiance for the price in midtown if you’re looking for an upscale dining experience.

I LOVED my first time at The Lambs Club! It’s the classic old-school Manhattan experience done right. The food and service far exceeded my expectations. I had the white asparagus soup and carbonara and both were sensational (it’s hard to find a proper carbonara anywhere these days, but they nailed it). One of the few Theatre District staples that lives up to the hype; can’t recommend it highly enough!

Sasha and Ronan really made our evening a spectacular one. The service was great, the ambiance was casual and homey. The dim lighting maybe hiding a lot more than it seems, as the whole place needs a bit of a cleaning, and there was a funky smell as you sat at the bar. The food was not bad, I enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie the best. The Bangers were over cooked, fried to an almost burnt and dried out texture, and the mashed potatoes served with it, were under seasoned, however, I enjoyed the sauce & onions. The Fish & Chips were not the best I've had, the batter itself was heavy, and it was a bit burnt as well. I figure the kitchen was trying to close, and they wanted to kick the orders out quickly, thus some of our dishes were burnt. Drinks were good here!
Nerissa Maria Ward - a month ago

Stopped in for a drink it was hot and muggy in NY. Great selection of beer and it waa cold! Decided to order a bite to eat. The Shepard pie was a perfect portion but felt like it needed more flavor.

Overall, solid experience but nothing to call home for. Standard pub with the conventional selections, exactly what you’d expect. Went on a Saturday after 5pm and was seated promptly for four people. Most of the tables were packed by that point so we lucked out. Food: Not a huge menu but they have what you’d expect: fish and chips, sheppard’s pie, chicken pot pie, burgers, corn beef, etc. We got nachos to start, and mains: the Reuben sandwich, fish and chips, and turkey burger. All were fine- not the best and not the worst. Prices were a bit high for the quality, but you’d expect as much in Times Square area. Drinks: The noticeable difference is that they have over 40 beers on tap. We got the Connolly’s Red Ales and they were pretty good. Service: Pretty good for a packed house. Prompt to sit, drinks came within reasonable time, food came fairly short after too. Atmosphere: Exactly what you’d expect for an Irish pub. They have funky door handles so that was an interesting difference.

If you’re looking for a true taste of Ireland in the heart of NYC, Connolly’s Pub is it. We stopped in for a traditional Irish breakfast and left feeling like we had just visited friends in Dublin. The breakfast was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked eggs, hearty sausages, crispy bacon, tomatoes, and beans, all washed down with a perfectly poured pint of Guinness. What really made the experience unforgettable was Barry, the owner. He welcomed us like old friends, shared stories, and even gave us a little tour of his beautiful hotel next door. The tartan seat covers, Irish décor, and cozy atmosphere brought me right back to my honeymoon in Ireland — a place that still feels like home to me. I even fell in love with the coffee mugs… and brought a couple home! ☕ If you want warm hospitality, delicious food, and a genuine Irish experience without leaving New York, Connolly’s Pub is a must.

Great pub, super friendly staff, great beer and whiskey selection, what else could you ask for? Came in on a Friday late afternoon and the upstairs bar was nice and quiet. Had great conversation and ended up staying for a couple more beers than we intended because we were relaxed and enjoying the atmosphere.

We stopped by for a quick bite before a show. The service was great and the atmosphere as well. The restaurant’s concept is very unique. I had no clue there was a Forest Gump-inspired place in Times Square. The food we tried was delicious. I would come again for the rolls! The only thing that raised question marks was the absence of vodka in my Bloody Mary, and no, I didn't order a virgin drink.

Had a great time at Bubba Gump Shrimp in Times Square! The fried and battered chicken and shrimp were delicious – crispy, flavorful, and really hit the spot. The place is fun and nicely decorated with a cool Forrest Gump theme throughout. Service was awesome – super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. A solid spot if you're in the area and craving some tasty comfort food in a lively setting!

My server Joey was amazing!!!! Loved his attention to us and attitude, very welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing and we ended up getting the Shrimp Scampi and Shrimpers Heaven. Both plates are equally amazing plus the hush puppies. Couldn't have asked for anything better. I love this place next time in town I will be coming back!! Drinks were really good too.
Maria Valderrama - 3 months ago

Visited after having been here many years ago. Couldn't believe it was half empty and very quiet, considering it's Times Square. No reservations, just turn up. The food was hot and service friendly and swift. The Kids menu was great and arrived in a boat, which my son liked. Free refills on drinks. The food was great, so there no complaints. We did get charged an adult drink instead of 99c for a child's drinks, but the waitress did reluctantly change it. He is 7 and drunk a quarter of the glass. I didn't appreciate being overcharged. We didn't get offered a dessert menu and was instead given the bill. We were too full for dessert anyway. If your a Brit, it's worth noting you'll get the bill, then need to give them your bank card to take away. You then sign a slip and write how much tip your giving. They charge your card twice, once as a holding amount and the a final amount.

Great Service, Disappointing Food I had high hopes for Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., but unfortunately the food really missed the mark. The flavors were bland, the texture was off, and overall it just didn’t live up to expectations especially given the prices. That said, the service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience much more enjoyable despite the disappointing meal. If the kitchen matched the quality of the front-of-house staff, this could have been a great visit. Hoping they can improve the food, because the team definitely deserves better!

We had the pleasure of dining at Dallas BBQ three times during our stay in New York. Twice in the restaurant and once with takeout, and every experience was fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing or satisfying a big appetite. I especially enjoyed the Frozen Margaritas, which were consistently excellent whether enjoyed in the restaurant or taken to go. Our kids ordered the hot dogs twice and were always pleasantly surprised by their impressive size and taste. The salads were another highlight, large, fresh, and full of flavor, making them a great option for a lighter yet satisfying meal. Overall, Dallas BBQ delivered a consistently great experience with tasty food, fun drinks, and generous portions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lively and satisfying meal in NYC!

Eating in this place is awesome. In my experience, the food and the service never have let me down. Prices very nice and affordable specially considering this place is located in NY city!!! The drinks are very nice and not expensive at all. If you want to relax and have a nice time after touring the city this place is highly recommended. However, I would recommend that you can call and make a reservation before you go just to make sure because there are days where to place is full and it is better be safe than sorry 😌.

Seen this place on TikTok and it decided to try it out. What i had was pretty good the shrimp and cod. But most people go for the sticky wings. But the star of the show was the drinks. I had a pineapple crush and added wild berries. This drink was excellent. Drinks were so good came back for seconds. If you looking for a good drink come here. It's right in time square.

We haven't gone to this place in decades but they still serve a lot of food for your money. It is not fine dinning, but it's a good place to eat when you visiting Times Square with your family. The cornbread is still good and according to the kids the burgers are awesome. The servers are very attentive. The lighting is still a little too dim for me seeing it is a family place. The bathrooms are clean and well kept.
D McK - 2 weeks ago

We were skeptical but were greatly surprised at how good the food was. The wings were our favorite. Get the "sticky wings" and make sure to order at least 10. They are crispy, and that sauce is a chefs kiss. If you like sweet Carolina BBQ flavor, you'll love them. The service was fantastic, photos were fun and overall it was a great experience.

Extremely reasonably priced food, açai bowls that were filled to the brim, only four very small tables was a huge drawback. The food was very tasty and the assortment was enough to take care of the varied taste in my group. There are snacks that are very healthy and plant-based and a drink selection. That’s also very mindful of one’s diet.

Tiny but mighty! You can tell the owner knows what he is doing. If I remember correctly, the guy there is the son of the former owner. My second visit was today and it didn’t disappoint! The owner and the staff were very helpful and nice. I had the Zen Mandu Bowl (totally a Star Wars sounding name-lol). It has all vegetarian steamed potstickers, plenty of veg, kimchi with a lovely sauce; cool and refreshing. I could only eat because I also had a delicious shake made out beets and other yummy things ($9.25). So refreshing! Prices at pretty typical for NYC and so many options. They also have a few hot and cold chicken and turkey options today. Wraps and Turkey meatballs…looked delicious but I wanted fresh vegetables. They also have veggie friendly cookies, chips, Ollipop, and other things. They also had lentil soup, chicken soup and I forget what the third soup was. My friend had the chicken soup. Sadly, the lovely sorbetto that was here earlier in the year! Next time , I’ll have to ask about it!

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!

Joined the “Better Off Bowling” social league (that plays on Sundays) with a buddy several months ago. I’d recommend it & think of it as a success! The alleys are in good condition & the staff are always friendly & helpful. The league is about $100 for a season (4-7 weeks depending on the season) and allows you to play for a bit more than 2 hours with discounted wine/beer as well as beer games after bowling concludes. It’s a good time is the bottom line.

– Where Bowling Meets Flavor Explosion! If you’re looking for a night out that delivers more than just strikes and spares, Bowlero Times Square is the ultimate hotspot that blends electrifying fun with unexpectedly amazing food. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan’s chaos and charm, this isn’t your average bowling alley — it’s a full-blown vibe. Let’s talk about a game-changer: the Sweet Chili with French Fries. Yes, you read that right. This dish alone is worth the visit. Imagine golden-crisp fries tossed in a sticky, spicy-sweet chili glaze that hits all the right notes — savory, sweet, with just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of flavor bomb that makes you pause mid-bite and say, “Okay…WOW.” Every fry is coated to perfection, with crispy edges soaking up that bold sauce like they were made for each other. It’s indulgent, addictive, and oddly gourmet for a bowling alley. Pair it with an ice-cold drink, and you’re not just eating — you’re experiencing something different. The atmosphere at Bowlero? Electric. Neon lights, modern lanes, good music, and an upbeat crowd make it feel like a party whether you’re with friends or on a date. Service is fast and friendly, and the whole place feels polished yet playful. Bowlero Times Square isn’t just a place to bowl — it’s where food, fun, and energy collide. And seriously, don’t leave without trying those sweet chili fries. They’ll haunt your cravings in the best way possible.
Dibo Goodman G7 - 3 months ago

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.
