West End Bar & Grill

A good place to have a drink, but not to eat. We were underwhelmed by the crab cakes, a mediocre plate at best. The short rib spring rolls were hardly edible, dense, oily, and undersealed. Not to mention all food is overpriced.

The food was extremely disapponting. For our appetizer, we ordered short rib egg rolls … They looked and tasted like dense, deep fried pieces of p**. When asked how it was, we replied it was awful, and our server asked if I wanted something else, like a salad. I said, «you mean, complimentary?» (to make up for the horrid appetizer) and she replied, «no!» So I would say the service is bad too … They couldn’t care less if you actually enjoy the food, the goal is to get tourists in and out of this place as quickly as possible. For dinner we had hamburgers with fries. They were ok but nothing special. A sadly unmemorable experience. I wish we had eaten at the steamed bun place next door. We are heading out for gelato, don’t want to spend more time than necessary here.

Today I came with a party of 11 for brunch/​lunch. The food was good. The service was NOT. They sat our party in the back which was fine however, the table next to us dropped their drinks twice. The second time the drinks splashed on us. Our waitress did not come over to check on us or to apologize. We arrived at 12:30pm, the food did not arrive in its entirety until 2pm. The food came out in parts by one of the kitchen staff. He was kind even though we had to send some of the orders back for not being cooked thoroughly and had to ask him for other items since our waitress was not present. We asked to speak with a manager and they told us that she has stepped and did not know when she would be back. The overall experience was horrible, the rating would have been a 1 but the food was good so I gave it a 2.

Good friend recommended we stop in after a long day at the office and PTA duties. We ran into the owner Michael who was such a gracious host. Wasn’t too hungry but was intrigued by the Yucca Fries and the choice of yummy dipping sauces pineapple peanut and spicy mango ketchup and the whole wheat veggie quesadilla. Both were super delicious and just enough for late night. Love the décor and laid back yet sexy atmosphere. I can’t wait to bring some friends back for cocktails and more great food!

Cool bar, atmosphere was good since it wasn’t crowded. Definitely a place you can sit and talk. The Sriracha Honey wings are really bomb! Would come back!
Kaylie (hope I spelled that right) was cool and friendly. That’s the waitress I definitely recommend asking for.

I have never written a bad review before, but this place was such a bust. I came here a few weeks ago for some drinks and something to eat with some friends. Service was slow. Really slow. We felt lucky anytime the server felt that it was time to look up from her phone and help us out. One round of drinks and a snack turned into an hour and a half ordeal. This place just isn’t worth it.

I was staying in the area with my daughter, and we decided to stop in for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation, but they got us right in. The food was really good, and the service was pleasant. We also like the warm atmosphere. My daughter had the Greek sandwich, and I had the mesclun salad with chicken (and a tasty IPA!). I would definitely come back here.

Went here for brunch before seeing he Book of Mormon matinée yesterday. I had the brunch menu burger and a Bloody Mary – so good!
I got the Bloody Mary mild and it still had a nice kick to it (I’d recommend getting it mild since it was still pretty spicy, my waitress told me I could always add more Tabasco if I wanted!) the burst was melt in your mouth delicious.
I will definitely be back. $ 25 for a burger and Bloody Mary isn’t bad – especially in the area.

Came here with a friend before seeing Wicked since it was close to the theater and you get a free glass of wine when you check in on Unilocal.We shared the salmon sliders and crab cakes, both of which were delicious (along with the fries). Will definitely come back when I’m in the area!

Great place for drinks and food when ever I’m in the area. I try to sit at the bar because the bartender is very charming, I think her name is Charlie. And I can also see their big screen TV better if a game is on cause I always forget my glasses. I will be back and do recommend!

West end is amazing! The service is the best, food is awesome! The drinks are great and so are the prices! Must try the West End Wings! The manager Nicole is not only hot but she takes care of the customers. I will be back with friends this weekend!

After went around the city all day long, my hubby and I was just feeling tired and hungry, we were just try to find a nice place to have a great dinner together, We saw this place on the way, the place looked pretty great, so we dicided give it a try. Once we walked in, we got serve at once, even the bar was quite full. It didn’t took long, the waitress got a seat. The bar inside also looked great, it got a really nice atmosphere.
So we were in the mood to tried out some local favorite drinks here, we asked the waitress to recommended some to us. which she did. I actually forgot the name of my beer already, but it was great. it tasted a bit like jasmine in it, kinda of interested and refresching. Well, My phubby he didn’t like the one he got so much. The food, I was really surprised and glad that actually offered food as well. And most of them did look promising on the menu. I ordered a sandwich with shrimps. It tasted amazing, I really enjoyed it. so did my hubby, he enjoyed his order as well.
The price of this place was quite alright, not supre expensive or something. I’m just glad that we came to this place, it was a lovely night.

This is a really good spot to stop by if yur in the area and looking for food & drinks. It was pretty packed at the bar when i came in it was pretty packed at the bar so I asked the waitress for a table and was seated immediatly. My waitress was very nice and gave me a recommendation on a drink that I forgot the name of but it was oh so delicious and came with sugared fruit on a stick. Also when checking into Unilocal you get w free glass of wine so that was also a plus. I got to meet the owner who at first I thought was a patrin at the bar because some drunk guy just came over snd was like «do u know this man?!» no sir i do not and that was then the owner introduced himself and explained who he was. He was very nice laid back and down to earth! who woulda known?!
For my entrée I ordered the burger and it was perfect with the add ons of cheddar cheese and bacon. The burer was perfectly cooked (medium as requested) and the bun supported the meat which is not a thin little patty. The fries were seasoned perfectly! This ws my second time here and I will deffinitly return!

Had some time to kill before a show and this was one of the first places that wasn’t insanely crowded. We were sat immediately and began looking over the menu. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and the cheese plate. The cheese plate was a bit of a throw away for me, but seems to be a trend that is here to stay. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy a well thought out cheese plate but when you can’t explain to me what the differences are or don’t identify the cheese when it’s placed in front of me you might as well just have brought me queso.
The sandwiches were really good. We had a cheesesteak and a chicken sandwich and both were cooked well and tasted just fine. Prices were reasonable for the area and for NYC. Be warned that as we were leaving the place got VERY crowded and the minute we stood up our table was taken, so either make a reservation or come in a bit earlier.

I stopped in for a quick lunch with some friends from out of town who had just seen Wicked. The three of us were seated immediately and after our drinks arrived, we ordered. We all ordered the Pat LaFrieda hand packed burger with fries. It was an awesome tasting burger-​we all agreed. Our waitress, Joanna F. was most accommodating and came by several times to see if everything was alright and if we needed anything else. The décor is publike and is a very comfortable setting. The burgers came with lettuce, tomato and onion and each of us got a different choice of cheese [I got American, they both got Monterey Jack] It was an excellent meat and a wonderful night out. I would recommend and return.

Inexpensive and great food!
I had the sangria which was delicious.
My girlfriend got the vegetable quesadillas & I got the steak salad and added avocado.
Very fairly priced, friendly service and left completely satisfied =)

Pat Lafrieda burger on the menu? YES PLEASE !
folks do yourself a favor and skip the shake shack down the block & order nothing but the Pat Lafrieda burger! no joke, one of the juciest best tasting burgers i have ever had (and ive had my fare share of them!). Although the bun seemed like it was a little too small for the patty, the meat was so just so tasty & flavorful that im drooling in my seat just thinking about that yummy burger right now! With each bite, the juices just dripped all over the plate so make sure to have your napkins ready!
I ordered mines w/​Gruyère cheese & a portabella mushroom and damn was the perfect combination. looking back, i should have ordered a 2^nd one but i didn’t want to look like a complete fat ass in front of my friends. Next time im in town i know where im getting my next burger! YUM !!!

The bar is convenient, and is located literally right next to the subway line. We were able to make reservations on a Saturday night and the staff was very friendly. The atmosphere is pretty much what you’d expect at a bar with televisions if you are looking to catch a game.
The food was tasty, however I must warn you that the portions are very small. I’m not necessarily a big eater, but I felt that they were small for the price tag. The salmon entrée was $ 26 and the skirt steak salad was $ 17. If you’re looking for a good amount of food at a reasonable price, then you might want to try another place.

We stopped in for a drink after seeing Wicked. It wasn’t bad. The Toasted Coconut drink was pretty tasty. The corned beef sliders weren’t bad either.

This place is super close to Times Square, just a few blocks up and to the left. We went at 6 pm tonight (Wednesday night) and there was a good crowd in there but we didn’t have to wait for a table.
Pros:
The staff is very friendly
Free beer with check in on Unilocal (limited selection)
Tuna tartare with avocado was killer
Sliders were very good as well
Cons: menu was in pretty small… I had a tough time deciding what to get because nothing truly jumped out at me but was happy with the sliders I got
Overall the dishes we got were around $ 15 each (appetizers and one pumpkin ravioli). It was good food and nice atmosphere but nothing too memorable here.
