Mutton chop and porterhouse for 2. Creamed spinach, hash brown and mushrooms. enough food for 5
Buford BarnesFebruary 23, 2012Established mid-19th century as part of the Lamb Club, it opened independently in 1885. Keen's is the only survivor of the Herald Square Theatre District and is known for its pipe collection and club.
David ChungMarch 1, 2012Scotch is a must. Mutton is slightly game-y; the fat is incredible, mix a little with a chunk of meat and let the party in your mouth begin! Prime rib was perfect!
Christopher PepeJune 15, 2013Here it is: the playbill found under Lincoln's seat at Ford's Theater on the night of his assassination. Find it by the second floor coat check.
The oldest (debatable) steakhouse in NY does not disappoint. Had the porterhouse for three, slab bacon, mash, and creamed spinach. Incredible. Service was first class.
dawn.in.newyorkFebruary 13, 2016Porterhouse steak I had last time was not bad, but somewhat disappointing as well. Price wise, it is not as high as other steakhouses, but for sure, this is not one of the best steaks in the city.
A NY steakhouse oozing of history. Try their famed mutton chop or a steak then check out their extensive collection of pipes or the "Play Bill" that Lincoln was supposedly holding when he was shot.
Sara BigwoodAugust 28, 2014This is the greatest filet mignon I've ever ate! Tender, tasty and if you dip it in a bearnaise sauce it's even smoother!
Amanda MullenSeptember 23, 2013Try the chilled seafood tray & the Porter house for two is big enough for three or four. Love this place!
Simge AşıcıMay 23, 2017The best steak in manhattan ! Waiters are helpfull and kind. It is a bit expensive but it worths
New York PostAugust 25, 2014Consistently fine beef and older lamb that’s almost mutton in Manhattan’s most enchanting, well-aged rooms — 128 years old and counting. Read more
Get the sirloin steak salad for lunch. Just the right size (medium rare if course), and wash it down with an Arnold Palmer
MrsCorksterFebruary 1, 2015Classic steakhouse steeped in history. Good for business lunches and romantic dinners. Look for the Lincoln memorabilia!
SV Ah MaNovember 10, 2015The aged New York strip steak is excellent but don't forget to order some sea salt to finish it off on the plate..
Alex MunizMarch 24, 2010Probably the best steakhouse in NYC. Try the Prime Filet Mignon...TO DIE FOR. Creme Brulee...wow! A great red vino and you are in heaven. Ask before you leave about all the famous pipes they collected Read more
Gabriel VelezJanuary 27, 2017The prime rib was heavenly! The lobster bisque was great. All in all a memorable experience!!
Lillian CheungFebruary 1, 2017Got the prime porterhouse for 2 but it's enough to feed a family... creamed spinach as a side is a must!- Lee SimpsonJuly 30, 2016Bacon steaks are amazing. Mashed potatoes are a must. Mutton chop you'll want to make sweet sweet love to!
Erik Adell HellströmAugust 7, 2014Go for the steak here. Super tasty and super portions. You won't leave hungry!
Mutton chop and martinis are insane but leave room for the best, he sundae!
Just ate the burger off of the pub menu and it was one of the best burgers I can remember having. I'll definitely go back.
I YAugust 11, 2015Delicious but the steaks are not meant for the faint of heart: order wisely or you'll be eating (yummy) steak for a while!
Laura WAugust 6, 2016Reasonably priced. We shared a 26oz Tbone, potatoes, and mixed seasonal veggies. Very nice place to eat.
Brian MeldrumNovember 15, 2011I haven't been to every steakhouse in New York, but this one is the best. Bring a friend (or two) and get the Porterhouse.
Andrew VogelAugust 11, 2014The 8oz fillet mignon was great. Could have been a little more flavourful. Sides were fantastic. Service great.
Tom HalleranMay 2, 2015Old school NY Steakhouse. Dark, wood interior, the usual sides, very good steaks. Great for business meetings.
the food is so good - both the steaks and prime ribs. and the service is excellent also.
Travel ChannelNovember 30, 2011Dine on Keen's famous Mutton Chop or primo cuts of prime, aged beef, and wash it down with one of their 300 single-malt scotches. Seen on Food Paradise: Manliest Restaurants. Read more
SteveApril 26, 2019Lamb chops were amazing. But you can’t go wrong ordering anything that walked on four legs at Keens.
Danielle LancashireNovember 13, 2015The Kings cut Prime rib is amazing but /huge/. The creme brûlée is the best that I've ever had.
Brendan HasenstabApril 23, 2010Note that the bar menu differs from dining room menu. (The delicious steak salad is bar-only.) Divine meats, tasty sides, and history, history, history. Oh, and dynamite cocktails and wine.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 1, 2011There’s no place that more NYC than here. Don’t skip the mutton chop or the crème brulee afterwards. Looking for something more casual (and affordable), sit in the pub!
Scott CawleyMay 2, 2011The steak here is AMAZING. Went here after Google popped up a random steak suggestion, so had little expectations. However, I think it accurately suggested what could be NY's best steak. AMAZING.
DrewskiJuly 20, 2016Bacon appetizer and Chateaubriand were both excellent but the crab cakes, Porterhouse and dessert weren't as impressive.
Alex MizrahiJune 17, 2013"It has been there since the 1870s and has the memorabilia to prove it. And if you don't like to read, they also carry about 200-odd single malts." Read more
Emilie DishonghApril 21, 2015Knowledgeable staff slinging epic whisky list. And then there's mutton. What's not to like?
Zeke SpringerNovember 17, 2012Mutton was fatty but delicious. Beef in broth with potatoes & carrots were amazing! Thick cut bacon is a must have!
Claire J SongMarch 25, 2015gargantuan bone-in prime rib, and the sheer glory that is the Keens mutton chop (actually a saddle of lamb)
DFebruary 21, 2015I was really looking forward to finally eating at Keens. Unfortunately, the first might just be my last time. The Porterhouse had a really funky smell (old wet towel). The sides were just decent.
CompassApril 25, 2014James Beard award-winning items from dover sole to filet mignon served with five types of potatoes will bring hungry diners up to speed in style.
Leon Van RensburgApril 19, 2015Great Prime Rib! Tasty and tender. Vintage lights are creating an historic feel!
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014This old-school steakhouse serves up the famed mutton chop, king's cut, and a tasty array of sides.
