Reviews of West End Bar & Grill (Restaurant)

Keith Josephson

Stopped for a beer after dinner. Great place to talk - friendly staff.

Clark Prothero

Service was excellent, food was great

James Cridland

A bit dull and sterile, and a long bar which doesn't give much space for seating, but otherwise okay. I suspect you could do better nearby.

Jason Westerkon

Stopped in for a drink. Pleasant staff, place is clean, location is convenient. Drinks were made well and priced fairly.

Dennis Shields

Good food.

Maddy Mako

Good lunch special

Ashley Dixon

VERY BAD SERVER'S. WAITED 10 MINUTES JUST TO GET DRINKS, WASN'T BUSY. SERVER WAS NOT NICE AT ALL.

Sergey Ts

Very not polite bartenders. It was the 1st of January 2018. This winter is very cold in New York. I went to this bar and sat down at the bar. The bar was empty, only a couple of people were inside. My hands were very cold and I wanted to warm them up a little. The bartender asked what I was going to drink. I said that I do not want alcohol, I still have a glass of water, but he said that if I do not order anything, I need to leave. If the staff does not have a human face, then I want you to read this and understand that you can not leave a tips to the bartenders with a calm soul! In my photo is just the hero of these events.

Good food and drinks at reasonable prices! Music is great for younger adults. A nice place to go before a night at the theaters nearby with friendly and attentive staff!

Drew Valaika

Went in yesterday and had brunch with a friend, we spilt the bill 50/50, both paid by card. This morning I looked at my cards transaction history to find that my waitress charged me for the full bill PLUS the half of the bill. Called in to handle the situation, but no manager was there so the hostess took down my information and told me to try again later, and that the manager was currently on their way to the restaurant. Called again still no manager. Still have not been able to get in touch with anybody to get a refund. My information was apparently passed along to a manager so I’m wondering as to why I haven’t at the least been contacted.

Very good. Alison was a very good server. Great personality, every one friendly. Lobster Bisque soup was delish and went great with Stella Artois beer. Cheeseburger Overload was just that, a big burger and very good. I substituted fries (which were good too) with spinach with garlic and olive oil, for a lower carb experience :). The other burger shown is the Hangover.

Louis Concorde

I love hamburger

Joseph Campion

Cool beer in a cool place

Alyssa Ferguson

Food is amaing and the staff was very friendly!!

Valerie Lambert Kroll

Good location for a post work happy hour. The service was pretty quick and we were able to push tables together for everyone to sit. Their beer menu was quite robust, especially the draft list. They have more tables in the back for dinner service as well.

Stacey Ging

Great service. Loved the drinks and our food.

Steve Tetreault

We stopped in for brunch on our way to a show, and the food was quite tasty. The lobster roll was very lobster-y, and the spicy aeoli had some bite. The French omelette was good, and the pastrami hash was quite tasty. The waitstaff were very friendly.

Josh Gershuny

Forks are odd. My family spent the whole meal trying to see if there is a letter on them. It was the most Seinfeld conversation I've ever had.

John Rocco Raimonda

Food was delicious and service was great!

Ron Wisenski

Good food, good service. Originally posted as 3 stars, but changed to 4 when I remembered my mistake (was thinking of another place). We were seated in the back which was very nice and quiet. Server was super friendly and kept my beer full! :o)

Stefan Gränicher

Nice servers with decent food. For european the service is too fast^^

Lisa O

Awesome food, great bartenders!!!

Omar

It's so nice place I love the live music and the staff are so friendly

Linda Yap

Lobster bisque is a disappointment Seems like drinking from a can food soup. No lobster bits to be seen, tasted more tomato soup than lobster bisque.

William Best

Great atmosphere, cozy place, friendly bartenders!

David Nasr

Ran into this place looking for a healthy spot to eat dinner. Service was good and the food was fresh. I had a salad with salmon and really enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere to hang out at the bar and watch a game.

Pablo Ranea

Did not like the service in this place. Not friendly at all and bringing the check as soon as we said we were okay after the first drink. Only had drinks, and the price of the beer was normal (9$ for a Stella Artois for ex.)

Robert Durden

Great Brunch!

Thomas Jacques

Love this place! Fantastic service, great food. Nice atmosphere. Great Value! .

Fire Power Systems

Nice food, really friendly staff, well priced will be back when I return to NYC

Simone Martin

The food tastes just as good as the pictures look. You will not be disappointed.

Jessica Damiano

The food was pretty good. I had a cheeseburger with avocado. The ginger ale tasted watered down or something. The atmosphere was nice and the place looked very clean. Overall, a good experience.

Trisha Ramirez

Enjoyed a late evening watching the Academy Awards here. Good food and service. Will go back on my next trip to New York. Within walking distance from Times Square.

Rebecca Hansen

Fantastic!! Great atmosphere, wonderful waitress and delicious food. Would definitely return.

Zulimar Montilla

Nive service try the lobster roll

KF Maiolo

Food was good. Nice ambiance. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Frank Colmenares

Good place to grab dinner, good food and drinks.

Jamie Reynolds

Lovely ‘off of the main drag’ place. It’s s bit pricey, but it was very good quality food. Drinks were good, in the way of choice, but the prices made everything a lot more than expected. We did get a free drink with our meal, so this did make the cost a bit more reasonable. The atmosphere was great, and the two girls that served us were lovely, friendly, and very professional.

Arden Keen

Hot toddy and can't remember the test, had too many I think

Martin Chorley

Excellent food and service. I needed a quick but before the show and this was perfect. The food came out promptly and the server was very attentive. My water was never empty.

Marie Perez

Service was good the food and drinks were delightful the atmosphere was very comfortable

Robert Clarke

Nice pints and food.

Yun-Han Chen

Ricon makes the World's Best Martini! The Toasted Coconut Martini❤

Wayne Clarke

Our food was good plus an excellent selection of taps, including Ballast Point Sculpin IPA.

Joanne Oppenheim

Inger is an awesome server!

CG Plenty

This was the perfect place to end our short trip to NYC. It was close to our hotel, The W Times Square, good food, drinks, personable staff and perfect people watching. Highly recommend!

Marc Goldstein

Good place to get a quick bit if you are going to a show located in the 50st area. Moderate prices, good food, don't expect a full blown dinner menu.

Andre Floyd

Very slow service

BILL Worthington

Food is really good, good menu selection, wait staff provides great service. Good bar vibe too!!

Evan Snyder

The shrimp lobster raviolis were amazing!

Wolfe Casals

I test most new bars with the same drink. A Woodford Reserve Old-Fashioned; because it's easy and if it is made wrong you can tell. West End Bar & Grill made a fantastic drink as well as having a wealth of options for food.

Louis LaFata

Great spot to meet a friend for dinner or just drinks. American restaurant with some class. Good for conversation - they have high and low top seating.

J Cush

Not bad a little exspensive but great lobster club!

Pete Ward

My wife and I had luch there 12/21/17, because of the good reviews. We were not disappointed. Service was great thanks to Allison-very friendly and accommodating. Prices were reasonable and the short rib grilled cheese was delicious and one sandwich was enough for both of us. The lobster bisque was excellent too. We're going back again today.

Michael Ruiz

In for happy hour. The staff was quick and very attentive. Try the lobster tacos. They were a delicious snack. Tip add cilantro and guac. Love to go back and see what else they have.

Erika Young

Great serive excellent food!

Reginald Greene

Food is delicious, service is great, and prices are reasonable, highly recommend.

Arlene Sutherland

Great food, service and staff.

Dan Patrick

Nice friendly service

Kamila Krupiarz

It was a nice spot for our brunch, but wasn't that authentic. It felt like the food sounded better than the taste.

Andreas Weiss

the place didn't seem like the super food place but that roasted chicken the light sauce were delicious. The garlic steamed beans were also a huge surprise and mashed potatoes really smooth were very tasty! Can recommend only!

Jim Bartlett

Very pleasant staff. I had the eggs Benedict and it was Eggcellent

Darrin Earl

Friendly service, but poor cocktails, no happy hour, and a weird absence of limes. "We don't have any fresh limes, the health inspector was just here."

Debora Woodall

It was a lively atmosphere, drinks were delicious, although I had the trio of steak sliders with avocado after the first one, the steak was tough. Another person in our group had the lobster sandwich, they were disappointed that it was served on regular toast, instead of a soft bread, the other person in our group enjoyed her meal, that is after she asked if they had parmesan cheese.

Bill Edwards

Very nice and tasty

Anthony Calabrese

Nice local pub. Live music. Good atmosphere.

Bob Vilsoet

Nice quiet corner table with playoff basketball on TV. Great service!!! HUGE burger!!!

Ed Perry

Great place to go after a play at the Eugene O'Neill Theater. Good menu for food and drinks.

Van K

Nice little place and friendly staff. wraps were ok and lean. Doesn't seem worth the price...

Mary Ellen Tucker

Charming decor, excellent staff. Sandwiches freshly prepared with interesting combinations. Will return.

Colleen Maynard

Food was ok but service is poor.

Taylor Schulte

This place is a great place to eat. I ordered the hangover burger and it was the best burger i have ever had. The staff is very attentive and the food came out very quick. Would 100% recommend this place.

lois lane

Discovered this conveniently located bar when needed a rendezvous for a meet up. Place was packed on a Saturday afternoon with heads craned toward the big screens watching Serena Williams play. Although the place was crowded, the bar was attentive amd swift. The patrons were friendly and fun and it was an all-around good time. Did swing back through later and caught the live band which was cool and made for an interesting nighttime vibe. Would go back to meet up with friends or just hang out and drink. The later you go, the better to have friends in tow.

Teedy St. Clair

Napa Chicken sandwich is all that! The service was great. Portions were nice. Would definitely eat here again and again.

Tori Gibson

Every time I go to see a show I come to the West End Bar and Grill. The food is always good and the drinks are too. The interior is also a plus. The service is always great and you can’t go wrong.

Phoenyx

Comfy place.When we went there was a limited menu as they were between brunch and dinner but they had pretty good variety for a 'bar' type setting. Big bar and the service was great. I would definitely go back to experience the full menu

Tracy Ewins

We ate here as a family of 4 earlier tonight with 2 boys aged 12 and 8. Outstanding service from Alison F from the minute we were seated. She was attentive and exceptionally pleasant. The food we ordered (3x classic burgers and 1x Napa chicken wrap) was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Clean plates from the whole family tells a fantastic story and if we had found this gem of a bar sooner, we would definitely be back to try more of the menu. As above, special thanks to Alison F who has a great way with customers.

Eugene Simac

Very nice place, good service, reasonable prices, very good food!

Alex H Yong

Bartender Meghan formerly at Social is now here. Wednesday nights for sure, but likely other days, too. Mashed potatoes are insanely good - aficionados would agree after the first bite I think. Wish the front section wasn't narrow otherwise I might rate it 5 stars.

Hector Ruiz

Nice atmosphere, great service and the food was cooked to perfection!

Craig Heller

Nice diverse menu selections, which to the extent tasted, were very good. Service was wonderful. Nice aesthetics. Enjoy.

Arvind SR

Replying to the question - Ordered a Mediterranean plate which was one of the few vegetarian options, and that turned out to have bacon bits which was a big disappointment. The drink menu while diverse, seem to not have the basic drinks that most bars have. Overall, the ambiance wasn't bad but does not compare with other customer friendly places.

Vladislav Dimitrov

Nice and quiet bar and food was great.

Levi Schlosser

Great food, ashey was our server and did an amazing job! Will definitely go back.

Andrew McDougall

This place has great service and awesome food! The lobster sandwich was fantastic!

Tomas Castro

The employees there are very nice, and the food is amazing I personally love the burgers

Scott Steinbaugh

Easy place to pop in for a quick bite on the east side Hells Kitchen area. They have a limited lunch menu however. Make sure you check it out first.

Janet Willie

Fantastic service, wait staff attentive and friendly and work as a well oiled machine! The food is delicious and served hot and beautiful! We arrived in the city at 1:30 had lunch and went back for dinner the same day!

keith meyers

Very good burger. Good service. Nice looking place.

Joe Bzdyk

Food is very tasty and portions are big for a good price. Napa Chicken highly recommended. Customer service very pleasant and helpful. Will recommend to everyone!!!!

Brandon Grimes

It was a nice little bar. Only complaint was that we couldn't turn on the TV channel we wanted. Other than that it was a good experience. Waitress was nice as well. The drinks were really good.

DeeAnn Reynolds

The bar itself was nice and the atmosphere was inviting but the service was poor. The lady taking our order completely forgot one of my mom's drink and when she asked if my mom wanted another tonic water and my mom said no, she brought her another one anyways. All in all the drinks were good and maybe the waitress was having an off day.

Wayne Fugate

Good drinks, great friendly service but the food was just on the upper end of so-so. Don't get me wrong, it was good and I enjoyed my meal. It just didn't pack enough of a 'wow punch' to put it on my list of places that I absolutely *have* to return to. I'd go again though, if I was in the neighborhood and wanted a quick bite in a friendly place.

Jim Boniello

Great place to grab a pre theater bite to eat. Multi level with a good beer and cocktail selection and quickly prepared pub grub.

Jeremy Good

Very chill and intimate ambiance with friendly servers. The dry rub steak was exquisite, with the right amount of seasoning and SO tender medium-rare! Shrimp tacos exploded with flavor, and the jasmin rice was an unexpected delight! Outstanding experience, and next time I'm *not* on a low fat diet, I plan to return to sample more from the menu! The table next to us got the sliders and were raving about them.

jason rodriguez

Good food, friendly staff, live music

Charles Wilbourn

Staff friendly and helpful, food very tasty home cooked fare and not long to wait. Price wise good as it goes in New York,

nycool yarnall

Came in to eat and have a few drink and was told they had happy hour until 7. I specifically asked what was the happy hour drinks. I was then handed the drink menu and told the whole last page. The first round was correct but the second drink I ordered was not although I was charged for it. So we ordered several drinks. The bill came and we were charged full price for the drinks. When asked her trainer the provided a different drink menu said it's only these. No apologies no shred of real customer service and she left her trainee to deal with the situation on her own. We paid and left. We won't be back. The food was ok at best. Too much competition around to have so so food.

Lexy McCauley

Amazing food and service! We split a salad and fries and they gave it to us in halves already! The fries were really good and our waitress was super nice! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for food and/or drinks

Dennis Griess

Nice atmosphere. Good food.

Andrew Echols

Fun spot for drinks and food before seeing a show.

Stacie Pettersen

Waitress was really nice...the food was not that great. Drinks were good.

Summer Ragulsky

Great service, great food! Alison F. is awesome!

Debipriya Chatterjee

Great bar, interesting cocktails, excellent food, clean bathrooms, friendly service...what more do you want?!

Peter Williams

Excellent service and delicious meals. Prompt and friendly. Happy to recommend for a meal before the show.

Ivana Jadrijević

Great place to have a drink, enjoy a good food and friendly staff.

Anjoli

over priced and just eh. $10 dollars for a beer. Ordered just a simple burger and they gave me the saddest smallest piece of lettuce and tiny onion but charged 20 bucks. Not worth it. I would not recommend my hotel guest to eat there.

Tricky Flamingo

Surprisingly good breakfast/brunch! Coffee is decent, the BELT sandwich is awesome! Can sit at the open store front and people watch. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Karin Raia

Great experience! First night in NY, the burgers were great, the staff really friendly and the music...all that I love!

Tim Minter

Great place to grab a quick lunch bite around Times Square. Usually slow Tuesday-Thursday but livens up during happy hour. Friendly staff and decent prices too

Nc Kane

Had never been. Was pleasantly surprised. Great shirt ribs I'll go again.

Randy Majors

Reliable option for elevated pub food and drinks.

Bill Pierz

Fun night Maura was a great bar tender

Lyoubomir Ivanov

Nice waiter, late service, good value price

Natali Mejia

Great food and service

Ronnie Main

Great atmosphere and huge selection of ales.

Arthur Massei

Lunch is such a good deal the price fix is reasonable and comes with a free glass of wine or beer. Hamburger, salad and chicken dishes are highly recommended. here on 4/22/19

Gail Flanagan

Great social spot after work. Beautiful interior with classic old bar.

Michele Okunevich

Unique atmosphere...good happy hour priced cocktails

Xavier S.

Great casual restaurant and bar in Hell's Kitchen. I come here with a small group of friends to catch any NY teams playing that day. The food served here is more like an upscale pub. The steak tacos, Greek flat bread, and short rib spring rolls are very good. Starters are about $12 on average and entrees start at $14 and higher.

Debra Jolley

Good good and drinks ......New York so a little expensive

Roberto Espinell

Another 8th Avenue bar. Generic food, drink selection and decor. The servers are very on point though. Edit for owner's response: The food was very bland. Especially for the price.

Linda Otis

Excellent food and service

Alex Centeno

Nice lowkey bar near Broadway. Good good and friendly service.

Jo N.

My friends and I popped on into the West End Bar & Grill for drinks and a snack for our very first time last May. The locale is inviting; cute & well kept. The service was friendly and prompt. We sat down at a table and ordered lobster bisque, West End wings, Trio of sliders & one of the 1/2lb. burgers. Of course we all tasted each other's food and everything was good. I thought the portions were generous as well. The drinks weren't bad either. I wouldn't mind trying some of the other items on the menu in the future.

Veronica Dono

Nice music, grat food and wonderful attention

Morten Ersgaard

Nice food. Music a little to laud.

Ariel Aviles

We love this bar, in the corner of 8th Ave and 49th street. Friendly bartenders, great drink menú and varierty. Food is good, they always have the games on.

Karen Gorman

Great food and staff

Debra Grosso

Great food, excellent service. Near Times Square.

John Nacincik

Nice bar and good food

Pranav Reddy

The menu shown on google is different from what they have. It's much more expensive than what's here. For example, starter tacos are $18, fries are $8. I had this drink called About thyme. It sucked. It had too much of thyme syrup and I couldn't drink it at all. My friend's cocktail was basic too, but too expensive for even New York prices.

eddie shooter

Great place for cocktails

ANTON TOMAJ

Ran into this place by accident on our way to the car from a night out at Rockefeller center tree and Time Square. Absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere, great food and great staff. Especially Buqe, she was awesome! Thank you and we will be back.

Bluemarvel 777

We drank 2 long island ice teas for $36 on a Monday night.The drinks were good. This is a cozy bar with an intimate atmosphere.

Alana L

I come in here a few times a year and tonight took my mom out for dinner and drink. I have a bland stomach and my waiter (apologies I don’t remember his name, but he was great) was so accommodating with my order, in which my chicken sandwich was delicious! For a picky eater, this is so appreciated. Mom got the veggie quesadillas and salmon salad, and she loved every bite. As long as the food continues to be delicious and fresh, along with the place having a great atmosphere, I will continue coming back!

Chris Kirwan

I ordered steak and eggs .. I got steak and eggs . no side salad or nothing .. very poor.steak was very nice though

mark crane

Great food, friendly staff, very quick service

Tammy Uskavitch

Would have been a one but we had dinner here last night and the food and service were great. Tonight went in going for a repeat and waited fifteen minutes for drinks while the bartender was chatting and not making any drinks and the server was scrolling through her phone waiting for the bartender. We left before the drinks got delivered. Not top notch service.

Joe M

Stopped in on a Sunday, between seeing two Broadway shows. Prior to taking our drink order, the waitress actually asked if we were going to a show in order to plan out our meal. Great touch! My wife had Pan Roasted Ckicken and I Short Rib of Beef. Both excellent! Our drinks, however, did take a little longer than expected and our waitress apologized when delivering them due to this we only ordered one round. Overall a good place to eat in the theater district.

Joe Callaghan

Good food and service.

DonFireBall

One of the best bar's in Manhattan, awesome bartenders, amazing and delicious drinks , food and everything you need.

Nadezhda Kharinoeva

I come here very often. The best hangover burger in the city for me. Drinks are good. So nice to spend some time or watch sports on TV.

Nanci Kane

Place I was going was closing down: ( Tried this place. Very pleasantly surprised.

jaime heath

Had brunch at the bar. Attentive bartender. Good food.

Anthony

I have to visit this place every time I come to NY, and every time their burger blows me away.
