Visiting town and needed a pre show meal and found dutch freds. Was greeted by a lovely host (Mayelah) enjoyed a nice little chat with her about the show we were seeing and our time in NY. Food was great just what we needed after walking all day. Really enjoyed the steak sandwich and the beet salad. Will definitely be back thank you! read more

Was walking the steet and stopped for dinner. The food was great (steak sandwich and dry rub wings 10/10) and the service was great by the hostess Mayelah and server Gabby. Will come back in future visits. read more

The Chicken and Waffles Benedict alone is basically worth the 5 stars. When I saw that on the brunch menu, I knew this was a place I needed to try. My one note on the dish would be to use thicker, Belgian style waffles. Otherwise, they were absolutely incredible. One of the most delicious chicken and waffle meals I've ever had. My wife had the BEC and said it was extremely cheesy and delicious. Her only request would've been ketchup and hot sauce that wasn't Tobasco. Both of us would love to return here though. The service was great. They were very attentive and welcoming. The environment is like an Irish Pub mixed with a diner and I mean that in the best way. I can't wait for another chance to eat here again. read more

I came here with my husband to celebrate my birthday. We did make reservations and I am so glad we did. It was very busy at 5pm on a Saturday so reservations suggested. My husband started with the 'Paradise Found' drink which was koch elemental mezcal, passionfruit puree, pineapple, agave, lime. He loved it. He said it was very strong but one of the best drinks he has had. I got a 'Pom Pom Fresca' which was Pomegranate, blackberry, mint, seltzer. It was super refreshing. For an appetizer, we got the 'Chili Crisp Shrimp' which was Drizzled & Served with Spicy Ginger Chili Sauce. These were delicious; especially the sauce. For an entree, I got the 'Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese' which was Roasted Tomatoes, Vegetable Stock of Onions, Garlic, Celery, Carrots, & Herbs. Served with a Buttered Grilled Cheese Dipping Sticks. It was just okay - nothing more, nothing less. The cheese was not melted and it was all just okay. My husband got the 'Smashed Burger' which was two 3-ounce Angus Beef Patties, American Cheese, Onion, Buttered Bun with Smash Sauce. Served with French Fries. He loved it and thought it was great burger. This place was pretty pricy. I don't think it was worth the $90 something dollars we spent. The service was quick and friendly. I don't know if I would go back. If I could give it 3.5 I would, but for now I will stick with 3 since the grilled cheese and soup could be have been better. read more

Enjoyed a birthday brunch at Dutch Fred's. The decor was super cute and the service was very good. I split the tacos and pancakes, for a sweet and salty fix, with a friend. I loved the tacos! The pancakes had a cakey and almost cornbread consistency, which was different. They were not too sweet and the presentation was beautiful. I loved that Hugo Spritz was an option for the bottomless drinks! My only complaint is that we were seated in the back and there was little circulation, making it very hot. read more

Not a brunch review this was dinner I was hoping for an oasis in Midtown, but what I got was a standard decent place to go for food Right ? What else do you want that expensive drinks are interesting. The food was OK. Was hoping for better with all the high reviews, but what we found was the steak or the salad was a lower and cut a steak we ordered it medium, and it came rare I had the Smashburger there was nothing smashed. It was basically a big Mac without the pickle Two skinny patties that had to be served medium well because they were that thin luckily I ordered buffalo sauce instead of the Russian dressing or thousand island that came with it that made it OK and it helped make it more smashed like but if I get a Smashburger, I would actually like to see some mushed burger The french fries were good yay The drinks were strong and interesting Would I go back? Yeah when I'm in Midtown Time Square area and I need a place to go and I'm bored with my standard Japanese restaurant that I go to. This would definitely be a back up, especially if I was more interested in drinking Overall, service OK bathrooms were basically clean. The food was served. Well it was quite an OK experience. I wish I could be more poetic. but you definitely go and enjoy your meal. read more

Such a great vibe. I was visiting on a work trip and I felt like a local sitting at the bar. I just had a soup and beer, but both were great and the bartenders provided was super kind. I would definitely recommend stopping here before or after a show. read more

Nice atmosphere. We enjoyed our food and mainly did small plates. Servers were a little unattentive and changed over at 8pm which seemed a little strange but was able to order a second drink so no problem. Nice place to hang out with friends. read more

First time here and the place was packed and vibrant--exactly what you'd expect in Midtown Manhattan. We grabbed seats at the gorgeous bar to avoid the wait. Service was quick and friendly, and the craft cocktails were impressive. I started with the London Rouge--beautiful presentation but a bit too heavy on the beet for my taste. My husband's drink forgot the name had a flower and I believe anise had a much better flavor balance. I switched to mezcal and loved the Apágame el Fuego--although small it is spicy, fresh, and unique. Later, another bartender made me a drink called Paradise Found, and it was the standout drink of the night--perfectly balanced and delicious. Food was also excellent. The wagyu sliders, truffle fries, brisket sliders, and fried chicken sandwich were all flavorful and satisfying. The ambiance was great and staff added a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dutch Freds! Made a reservation for brunch after seeing a post about the bottomless option on Instagram. I loved that the drinks were served in tea cups! Also equally loved the decor. Made for a nice and cozy holiday vibe on a cold winter day. The bottomless drinks are served in little carafes, and let me tell you, they pack a punch! Enjoyed the Dutch punch. Now sometimes restaurants with bottomless brunch tend to put more emphasis on the drinks and less on the food. I was glad to say this was not the case with Dutch Freds! Everything was so tasty, from the brisket to the eggs to the little potatoes served on the side. Our server was friendly and attentive and so we let her know we would absolutely return in the near future. read more

Stumbled upon Dutch Freds early this Friday evening. (May 2025) As per tradition when bestie and I are headed to a broadway show we head to the theater district find parking and pick a random spot for a bite to eat before curtain call. This Friday the parking God's were on our side but Mother Nature was not. As the rain started to fall we dipped in to Dutch Freds. At 5:30/6pm there were no tables available but we found spots at the bar. Service, food, and decor were all very good. We kept it simple with wings, sliders, fries, & a kale salad to share. In addition to a couple of cocktails. Everything was tasty especially the drinks. However, it was tad pricey given what we ordered, no entrée's only shareable starters and our tab was up there. Nonetheless you get what you pay for and the food and service was very good. This was a nice find, that hit the spot and saved us from the rain on our way to be theatre geeks. Lol Just A Note: They offer a brunch with unlimited tea cup cocktails. read more

I swung through here for a quick meal at the bar before going to see Moulin Rouge. It's literally right around the corner if you need a spot. While there were empty tables, it appeared they were being held for reservations based on the hostess saying that the bar was my best option. I ordered the eggplant chips and the Guinness sliders and both were really tasty. The eggplant chips were super thin but I think they could have done well if the larger pieces were halved - obviously not a huge issue since I just did it myself. The drinks looked tasty but I didn't have one this time. My only minor complaint was that it was extremely loud - like, I took a quick phone call and couldn't hear anything on the other line with the volume all the way up and one finger against my ear kind of loud. Not a major thing, but just a heads up that if you're looking for a spot where you can talk, this may be a harder place. The food was tasty though! read more

Great drinks and appetizers before the show. Definitely would go back and try more menu items. The service was quick; we ate outside. I am guessing that they are use to pre-show crowds. read more

Ordered: Lychee-Me Colada (~$18): Havana Club, Plantation Pineapple Rum, Pineapple Juice, Coconut Cream, Chai, Lychee Puree Classic Margherita Flatbread (~$19): Mozzarella, Parmesan, Tomato, Basil & Olive Oil Aya's take: Found myself back at Dutch Freds for a quick drink on a Friday around 9:30pm and it was pretty busy & loud! The decor is stylish, it's dimly lit, and has that cozy, 1910s feel. The Lychee-Me Colada was strong in alcohol but light and sweet flavor - just how a cocktail should be! The Classic Margherita Flatbread is a sad excuse for Margherita-style. It also looks nothing like the photo on their menu. It's good for sharing and is a good drunk snack I suppose but it lacked flavor entirely. The tomatoes were also a bit undercooked and weren't even the same cut you would get in a typical Margherita. Dutch Freds is a classic NYC bar; solid selection of drinks and maybe other big/small bites worth trying. read more

Food was just average and the interior was on the dirty side our server was very good

I checked Yelp for a breakfast location close to the hotel I was staying at. Dutch Feds was a 8 minute walk and so I walked in without a reservation and was seated right away! The Decor was so cute. The waitress asked me my drink of choice and I said " a cutesy drink" and pisco punch was suggested. Not only was it cutesy it was delicious! For the entree HUEVOS RANCHEROS (Fried Tortilla, Red Beans, Queso Fresco, Sunny-side Up Eggs, Salsa Verde, Sour Cream, Avocado. Served with Home Fries). It is the perfect serving size. Not too much ! Just enough! A very pleasant experience was had. read more

Great quality food...we tried a bunch of mini apps and full sized Kale salad and Steak sandwich and we had leftovers. Brought our kids and there were other kids there too. Read somewhere not recommended for kids, but if your kids are behaved and good which our kids are, it's fine. The food is great and within waking distance to the Broadway musical we went to. My kid who ids picky eater actually wanted to try this place after seeing the menu, so great pick! I loved our waitress. She was really nice and gave us great recs. Kale salad which comes with pomegranate was really good. Kale salad and steak sandwich was our favorite! read more

Came here for a private event reserved in the back. We had our own server to take drink orders, and some apps brought out. It is a VERY dark restaurant - very little light. Maybe the darkest restaurant I have ever been in. I have good vision but I found it extremely hard to see, read menus, and talk to people. I understand an ambience but this was extreme. The apps were hit or miss - I thought the sliders were a bit dry but I thought the fries were great! Same with the cocktails - hit or miss. The violet voodoo was like drinking a sharpie marker, I hated it and no one else in my family liked it to even take it from me. But the lychee colada was nice and frothy! I also like the Jardin. Our server was great, and all the drinks came quick. Overall, it was a great place to host a party just maybe not everything was my cup of tea. read more

Ok I Love this place!! I passed it a couple of times and I was drawn in by the way it was decorated from the outside. Especially with all the Pride regalia!! I went in and was greeted by very sweet hostesses and I at the wonderfully long bar I don't know what I was expecting, but I was very surprised at how beautiful and spacious this place was I don't think the bartender liked me very much, or maybe he's just not the type of friendly I'm used to. I didn't take offense I enjoyed myself regardless. I had a couple of signature drinks, which were both delicious and beautiful and presentation . I have a stuffed French toast, which was having on a plate. If I were a glutton, I would've had two more servings that's how great it was. You happen to be my birthday that day, so it was nice to enjoy a brunch, which I don't often get the chance to have in a nice quiet location. My next visit to NYC, we will have to pop back in again for sure read more

I came here on a Wednesday night. I tried to call to make a reservation, but they don't take reservations over the phone so you have to book through the Resy app and have to leave a credit card in case of cancellation. Cancellation fee of $20/person for dinner which is a little steep but apparently up to the restaurant's discretion. They don't provide menus and only use a QR code which some of my party could not get onto and eventually got physical menus. They do have a great wine down Wednesday special including $10 wines! We ordered the pork belly bao buns as an appetizer. Only three in an order. A lot more bread than meat but still tasty. I really wanted the chopped kale salad but you can't add a protein to it so I got the steak and beet salad. The portion is smaller than expected but it was very good. You can't ask for the steak to be cooked a certain way (ex: med rare, med, well etc) but it was fine. It was a decent meal close to Times Square and the theaters. read more

Went a year ago and realized I never reviewed! Looking for some of the best bottomless brunch in NYC? Dutch Freds has you covered!! Their drinks are constantly flowing and the food is creative and mouthwatering. Bottomless brunch is optional, but if you choose to do so, it's $30 per person plus the purchase of an entree for 90 minutes. You can choose from: mimosas, Bloody Mary, or Dutch's Punch! When I went, the PRIDE vibes are immaculate! Such a cute space! Here's what we ordered: Drinks ~Mimosas ~Dukes for 2- vodka, passion fruit, vanilla, prosecco served in a tea pot. So fruity and delicious! We also loved the big spherical ice cubes! ~St. Elmo's Fire-Ghost Tequila, Pamplemousse, Lime, Orange Liqueur, Overproof Rum, Ancho Chili Powder, Fire (literally) Food: ~Cheddar Chicken & Waffle Sandwich -Buttermilk Brined Chicken, Cheddar, Bacon, Chipotle Aioli, Caramelized Onion, Maple Syrup. I cannot stress this enough: this is a MUST ORDER!! The chicken is so juicy and crispy and the little bit of spice from the aioli works so well with the sweet syrup. And the fries were AMAZING ~Huevos Rancheros- Fried Tortilla, Red Beans, Queso Fresco, Sunnyside Up Eggs, Salsa Verde, Sour Cream, Avocado & Home Fries. So flavorful and the perfect runny egg. ~Stuffed French Toast - Cereal crusted French Toast stuffed with Banana, Mascarpone, topped with Whipped Cinnamon Cream and Berries. You need to order this if you have a sweet tooth!! It was so crispy and the fresh berries paired so nicely. This was a really solid French toast. Highly recommend this spot and the staff was also so friendly! read more

Very lively bar - Tuesday at 5:30. Sat at the bar, and unfortunately the bartender who was responsible for our side of the bar was also responsible for all of the drinks for the rest of the restaurant so it was very difficult to even get water (asked 3x) or more drinks after the initial order. Drank & ate "Happy Hour" items - carne asada & shrimp tacos (tasty and good amount of meat), both drinks (pretty well made, short poured - watched for 45 min and less than 1 oz of alcohol per drink & ice overflows glass, if you want a margarita with salt rim then you will need to ask). read more

Came for brunch with my Mom on a Saturday at 11 am before seeing a show. Just FYI- they only serve brunch on the weekends at this time. I didn't know this and to be honest, I picked this place for the small plates and not for brunch, so we were a bit disappointed. It's not their fault, it's just not what I expected. The food was good, my mom got a burger and I got breakfast. Portions were fairly sized. We didn't drink, but they have the option to add on unlimited mimosas for 90 minutes which I would consider doing if I went back with my friends. I made a reservation. Probably didn't need to at 11 am, but by the time we left, it was busy, so unless you're like me and eat early, def recommend making one! read more

Visited to have a bite to eat for a friend's birthday. We were a party of nine and had made a reservation for a table however it was a bar top with seating for six and they stuck extra stools in there. This was an issue to begin with but more so since there were some larger people and we just physically could not fit and have plates to eat. They told us they didn't have another table and just pulled it from the wall and added barstools to each end which still wasn't enough but to make up for it they served us all terrible fruity shots. Thankfully the guacamole for the table was very good and my steak sandwich, which came rare instead of medium rare, was good although overpriced at $27. My old-fashioned had too much orange. I had heard really good things about this place but was disappointed with my visit. read more
