Andrew CSeptember 27, 2018Pretty solid American bar and restaurant... the bar area has high-tops and loud music, which is separate from dining room!! Food was great, came out very quickly... nothing out of the ordinary
Cady MillerMarch 19, 2019Nice place to go after a show or if you’re leaving Birdland. It gets a bit cramped if you have a large group... cozy bar atmosphere nonetheless!- Grover Reed IIIApril 21, 2013One of my favorite hangout spots on Times Square. Mike, Niquelle, and Urena provide superior service. They make each visit as if I've never left in the first place. Anything you get is a winner.
Francis CovaAugust 16, 2014I ordered a Big blue cheese burger. It was delicious!!! 1/2 pound of meat, bacon, onion rings, blue cheese on the top.... and fries and to complete my lunch ... A Miller lite beer
JulieMay 11, 2016Overall fine. Easy to get a table for lunch. Turkey burger tasted fresh and fries were good. A bit dingy inside, but it's NYC after all. Service was decent.
BlackBook MagazineDecember 4, 2012JEREMY WOODARD's 2nd pick: "Smith's is right on the corner by our theatre. A couple of our guitar guys from the show's band play gigs there sometimes so we’ll go see them. I love the live music." Read more
Keegan MayhewJune 15, 2019This place is underrated. The food is amazing, the service was almost instant, and all the waiters are friendly. Great place! 11/10
Gianluca TrovatoApril 19, 2019Gorgeous breakfast! The place is nice and quiet in the morning.. we loved it!
Love the music, all burgers and the wings are amazing. I'm here quite frequently. A local--so trust this post TOURISTS!! Haha
Great place to grab a burger and beer in midtown. Their French dip is not to be missed!
Felipe GodoyJune 5, 2014It´s a nice place, good music and an amazing environment, the bartender is wonderful XD

Alicia LuqueMarch 15, 2012Great selection of beers. Live music. Very nice staff! Nachos Supreme are delicious! A great spot to chill and have a great time! :)
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterAugust 7, 2014A spot in midtown that doesn't feel overrun with tourists even on a Saturday night! Service is hit or miss in my experience.
Lori MichelleJanuary 26, 2014right near one of the many Shake Shacks in NYC, not the original, but still a Shake Shack.
- Bob LaBossiereSeptember 10, 2011Try the crispin with Guinness! They call it their take on the black velvet It's very refreshing!
- Kristin KellySeptember 4, 2011BBQ chicken quesadillas are really good with the salsa on top. onion rings aren't too great.
'Megs' / Megan, Has 'Officially' Taken Over the #1 Night-Time Bartender Title... (How Else Could You Explain A Post, from a 'Plugged In' Laptop?!?!) 'Nuff Said... Pay Her a VISIT!!!
One of the few cheap places left to grab a beer in the district.
Emily ScheelerMarch 30, 2013This place feels like home. Great chili nachos with chunks of tender beef.
- Mike SJuly 21, 2011Word on the street is that John Lennon built this bar with his bare hands. Oh, they have a good specials on Coors Light too.
Make sure you tell Megan the bartender how sexy and amazing she is! Best bartender ever!!
Josh MorrisseyDecember 21, 2011According to director Michael Epstein, John Lennon loved grabbing a hamburger at this spot near The Hit Factory.
Great happy hour specials. Don't recommend the wings though - can be hit or miss.
Christina SperrazzaMay 17, 2014Worst place ever to come here in NYC. The soda was disgusting and flat. The lemonade was awful and had no taste, whatsoever. Service wasn't exactly friendly either.
It's no longer a dingy space but a nice one, and a perfect launch point for shows at Best Buy Theatre and B.B. King's.
