After our Top of the rock visit went to 5 Acres for a quick bite before our final activity in NYC. This nice place is conveniently located in the lower part on the building and the service is quick. We had simple food which was very flavorful. The staff was awesome. Thank you. read more

We happened across this restaurant when we were walking around exploring NY. It's in the base of the rockefeller and there's plenty to see and do around it. The food was really good! It's right in the middle of everything so there is an awful lot of noise and people around, but it was good! A bit pricey but good food nonetheless. read more

Service, pretty decent. Food? I think a bit overpriced. Yes, it's in the heart of New York City in Rockefeller Center but...in my opinion this was not worth the price. We did not have a reservation, nor did we know where we'd end up food wise....but we decided upon this place after adventuring to the Top of The Rock. We were sat down immediately, but the place was so packed that it too a while for our orders to be taken and served. The table we were sat in was so close to another table it felt like we were all within one party. Not really great. It was also pretty loud as the restaurant is essentially just in one entire open room with people walking by the entire time. Our bill ended up being around $85 for two drinks and two entrees. Not sure I would opt to come here again, especially with all the other options around in the City. read more

From Baxtrom, the same chef as the now-closed and revered Olmstead, this is an interesting spot right next to the Rockefeller rink, serving American comfort food with some modern twists. I was here with a group a good while ago that came partly because they liked his previous places, and the food was a mixed bag, with some dishes excellent and others alright. Similar to the excellent Naro next door, the food is also in an odd price range, being a bit too expensive for the quality, but worth it for certain dishes, though the latter is definitely better. As we only shared a bunch of mains, I'll go over our easy favorite first, the Japanese BBQ Ribs for $34, with Japanese BBQ sauce, napa cabbage coleslaw, and pickled ginger. This was a very fun spin, mixing typical baby back ribs with tonkatsu, a fried pork dish. The meaty ribs had a wonderfully crunchy, crispy exterior, presumably from panko, while the inside meat was soft and lightly smoky. The coleslaw was a bit too lightly flavored for my liking, but it helped with the richness, along with the myoga, or pickled ginger. Rounding it out was the tonkatsu sauce, a sour-sweet sauce with a strong Worcestershire flavor, commonly served with various katsu/fried meats. Also tasty but different from what was expected was the NY Strip Steak Frites for $44, served with crispy potatoes, petite salad, cranberry, and chimichurri. The menu, back then and now, lists that exact description, but I believe the only steak available was larger, sans frites. I prefer a more garlicky chimichurri, but the steak was cooked very well, and the salad paired well with it. The waiter also brought out some fries, which we appreciated very much. They were also good quality, being crispy and slightly salty. While we loved or liked those two dishes, the other two weren't nearly as good. Better of the two, but almost by default, was the Norwegian Salmon Stir Fry for $36, with Union Square Market vegetables, Anson Mills Carolina Gold rice, and chili crisp. Despite all the listed ingredients, the fish was unfortunately a bit dry and bland. I liked the rice's texture and the vegetables' mild sweetness, but it felt more like a plate from Dig or another healthy place. Our least favorite dish was something that doesn't appear to be on the menu anymore. This was the $32 Marry Me Chicken Fettuccine with oregano-roasted chicken and white wine cream. The pasta was overcooked and a bit gummy, the chicken wasn't particularly moist, and it felt in general like a pasta dish made by any Italian spot, or rather, a substandard one. This has since been replaced by a Chicken Parm Fettuccine, which I hope is better, as this was terrible. This restaurant was the definition of a mixed bag. At the price point, I wish it were a bit more consistent. We loved one dish, liked another, found one bland but acceptable, and the last just wasn't good. For the haphazard quality, a 3 is accurate. read more

Service was excellent. Note: Reserved a table through our Top of The Rock tickets but never received our reservation email, so I made a reservation through their website to be safe. Apparently they were already closed when we got there for the time we booked our reservation, but the host waited for us and greeted us very friendly! I believe her name was Chanel. She is absolutely wonderful. The minimal decorations were cute too. The food was ok. We ordered the caesar salad wraps from the prix-fixe menu, but I think if we had ordered something else it would have been a better experience. Their wraps had extremely tough croutons and very (seemingly) old tough chicken as well. We were disappointed in the quality of the food. We did get a complimentary birthday treat + birthday song so that was a big plus. The drinks were good. Overall, I would give this place another try but my first impression food wise is very low. Rating is 7/10. Luckily service was excellent, and since we were there for my mom's birthday I was a bit embarrassed. Their service does however make me feel like giving this place another shot. read more

Out of all the dining experiences at the larger than life Rockefeller Plaza (New York, NY), the one place that came to mind on our radar was none other than "5Acres". This was a last minute idea as we wanted to get a filling meal before our Broadway show. My lady and I came here during the early evening on Thursday 10/9/2025 at around 6:00pm. Their menu is primarily American food; appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, & desserts as well as an impressive drink menu that offers beer, wine, cocktails, and much more. Since their opening in late-2022, they have received predominantly positive fanfare from customers. Hours are also reasonable as they are open for business 7 days a week from 11:00am-8:00pm. Reservations are recommended but not required. Upon our arrival, we walked to the main entrance and were seated immediately (without reservations). The interior dining area is cozy and spacious with ample seating throughout. I also wanted to add that they've utilized a ton of plants through to give this place an "outdoors" feel to it; no matter if its cold and snowy on the more freezing New York winter days. The tables also showcase an upscale wood trim which provides longevity and durability for many years. The hostess/servers/staff also were very professional with good work ethics. As for our meals, I went with their "5A Burger"; this consisted of caramelized onions, their signature 5A sauce, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on a sesame seed bun while opting for a side of fries. My lady ordered their "Chopped" salad. This loaded salad had a mix of everything in it; shredded romaine lettuce, crispy bacon, warm rotisserie chicken, cabbage, scallions, red onions, tomatoes, Ditalini pasta, blue cheese, olives, and a drizzle of Italian dressing. We received our entrées at the same time in just under 10 minutes. I will say that both our meals were fantastic. My burger was cooked to perfection as the meat was juicy and at well over 1/2lb., it definitely kept me full well into the evening. I also sampled some of her salad and this too was a home run with generous amounts of chicken in every savory bite. I also wanted to point out that our server was polite, respectful, and made sure that our iced waters were topped off. I've read some fairly horrendous reviews and did not experience mediocre service or food, at least from our visit. When you factor in the ambiance, fairly decent prices (this is in the heart of NYC after all), above average service, and delicious American food, I am giving "5Acres" a perfect five-star rating. read more

Best burger! Juicy and flavorful! It wasn't that horrible dry aged burger that has become prevalent that is strong and pungent and dry! The 5 Acre burger had great classic burger flavor, with a nice char. read more

While waiting for our reservation time at Top of the Rock, we stopped in for drinks at this restaurant inside the Rockefeller building. The space is open and lively, with a great view of people walking by--including, on this night, SNL cast members Marcelo Hernandez and Colin Jost. Service was attentive, with water glasses refilled promptly. We didn't order food, just drinks, but the atmosphere was excellent and made for a fun stop. read more

This place was amazing. To start, the service was excellent. Our server was very kind and attentive, and made sure our cups were never empty. We were hungry so the food felt like it took forever, but in normal minutes, I think it didn't. Whatever the wait for the good was so worth it. I had gotten the grilled cheese which was literally grilled to perfection. I made a modification to exclude tomatoes and it came exactly as I requested. The fries were thin and the right amount of crisp with the flavor being Devine. Mom said she's been dreaming of the salad she ordered for days after our visit. We went on a chilly Sunday evening and there were plenty of tables available. It was nice that it was inside the Rockefeller building so it was nice to stay warm. I would definitely recommend this spot in a heartbeat. read more

Family celebration mode ON! Took the whole family out for my mom's birthday at 5 Acres Restaurant, right at Rockefeller Plaza (New York, NY 10112). We had an amazing time -- the staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel so welcome! We kicked things off with their spinach artichoke dip paired with black pepper toast bread -- creamy and packed with flavor. Then came the chicken wings with Bayley Hayzen blue cheese, carrots, celery, and a spicy BBQ sauce that was spot on. We also couldn't resist their hot salted pretzels with cheddar sauce and honey mustard -- so tasty. For the mains, we went all out: Chicago Italian Beef with roast beef, green peppers, au jus, giardiniera on a hoagie roll -- absolutely amazing. Fried Chicken Sandwich with bacon, cheddar cheese, chipotle ranch, gem lettuce, tomato, and red onion on a brioche bun -- my sister couldn't stop raving about it. Me and my mom went for the 5A Burger with caramelized onions, 5A sauce, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato -- hands down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. We all topped it off with margaritas (no salt on the rim) -- perfectly mixed. Overall, this place is definitely a hidden gem in Rockefeller Plaza. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! #FamilyTime #BirthdayDinner #5AcresRestaurant #RockefellerCenter #NYCEats #HiddenGem #foodieinthebigapple2025 read more

Probably the worse meal we've had in NYC. We ordered two different styles of burgers and asked for them medium rare and rare. Mine was on a pretzel roll which was stale and the burger was like a hockey puck, dry and completely over cooked, so was my husband's which was on a brioche roll and supposed to be rare was also overcooked. Not once did someone come to our table to ask was everything okay, not once. We sat there, finally I picked mine apart to find something edible. They came to pick up the dishes and they didn't ask why there was uneaten food but the server did come back only to give us our check. Absolutely the worst service and food. read more

We came to this restaurant with expectations of good food and service. We left vowing never to return. We had Anne as our server but she wasn't interested in serving. You can tell she hates working there. She's an Asian woman in her 20's that clearly wants to be somewhere else. Not a pleasant experience for us. Give it a year or two and staff like this will cause the business to close. read more

We needed a sit down dinner in between reserved experiences at Rockefeller center. Had party of 7 and appreciated she split bill for us between 2 families. 5 Acres Chicago Pale Ale Beer was great. A little bummed only in can but she poured in a glass table side. Nice variety of menu. Steak bowl was delicious. Avo was fresh and meat delicious. We ordered side of fries and they were THIN but yummy. My daughter got the kids pasta butter noddles and said it was one of best meals she ate in city. Price was expected for sit down restaurant in high tourist area. We were or rushed out and enjoyed our time with friends and so forgot photos! read more

Okay had to come around here for an office party and since it was pouring that day, I picked a place that was relatively close to the office. This place was hard to find inside the building. It is pretty much hidden and all the way in the back corner. I didn't realize this was inside Rockefeller building, until we got there and so I was disappointed this wasn't it's own place and rather just eating out in the middle of the building with dividers guarding the area to separate them from the rest of the room. I have never been to Olmsted, but only knew about it because had done a photo shoot there. I have no opinion about it, and so I came here and was super disappointed. The hostess was nice, but didn't set our table up when we got there. We had to wait and our male waiter wasn't attentive at all. Our water was empty for a long time and I had to flag him to get more water. Food wise - Artichoke and spinach dip - horrendous. I love this stuff, but didn't love it here. This is the worst dip I ever had like so bad I much rather have a microwave version from TJ's than here. The artichoke wasn't cut evenly and found a couple of pieces that were too huge to fit inside one's mouth. It was watery and bland. Very disappointed that I ordered this dish. Calamari - this was standard. Steak Frites - the fries were actually really good but can't remember the steak. 5A Burger - standard Arnold Palmer - this was a joke. It's not even freshly squeezed lemonade. It's from Natalie's and this came in the tiny tall cocktail glass rather than a regular drink ware and so did the coke. I am talking about not even a full can's worth. Not impressed. read more

We ate here while visiting the Rockefeller tree and other Christmas decorations in New York. 5 Acres is located under Rockefeller Center on the Rink level and it's indoor on the Mezzanine level. It was GREAT to come inside and warm up, sit down and have a bite of lunch. We ordered fish and chips which my husband definitely liked. I'll say the picture makes it look greasy but it actually wasn't. The burger was a four out of five. It was cooked perfectly but it just didn't have a lot of flavor. The fries were a hit though and were worth the price of admission! The service was pretty slow for the drinks (Diet Coke in a can and draft beer), but the food came out reasonably. The table next to us had their food before their two cans of soda! Other than that, I would recommend for the location and definitely those fries! read more

Best hospitality and customer service I've experienced the entire time I've been in NYC - Joshua is pleasant, helpful, and truly makes the dining experience better. I can't say enough good things. The food is good after a long day of wandering the city. Burgers were good, fries are perfectly crispy. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting - CHEFS KISS. It was a cold day in March so the ambiance and temp control was much needed too! read more

Extremely overpriced. Limited bourbon selection. The bartender was hot cold. He'd arrive to take our order in a crappy, stressed out mood. Then he'd return with a pleasant attitude. Weird. They're currently having a chef partnering with a famous chef. The pop-up menu looks great. E we had the Rockefeller oysters. Tinniest oysters ever but tasted great. Comparable to the Happy hour oysters astound town. It's on the bottom floor of the Rockefeller Center. Good for people watching, if that's your thing. read more

So great to find out that Rockefeller center has a bunch of places to eat. Today was my first time going inside to see what was there. We ended up deciding on 5acres after reading the menu posted at the restaurants entrance. The food was great. Atmosphere was nice as well. The waiter at the bar was not pleasant but I'm still giving a five star bc I'm not going to let his bad attitude take me there. Maybe the managers will see this review and go over customer service with the staff. Good price point as well. read more

Joshua is an incredibly great server! We had a great meal and he was very attentive and kind.

Super expensive for what it is! Food was very salty, and very oily. The Brussels made me use the bathroom nonstop.. so hard in NYC!! The calamari was salty and so was the eggplant. Maybe the burgers are better? Service was great!! The staff were so kind and nice and welcoming and patient. Ambience was definitely something special! Right inside the Rockefeller center, and it was the most beautiful restaurant inside the center. Very easy to find! A little ways away from the bathroom but the location was perfect! read more

The fries and calamari were fine but the garden salad was the saltiest salad my wife and I ever had. Writing this review to point out two things: * Their wait staff was terrible. * They tack on automatic 20 percent tip. Our water we only saw once, completely forgot we asked for more stuff, we had to flag down waiter who also forgot, and our third waiter finally got our item. It took me 3 times to try to get someone to get us the check. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone since the staff didn't have to work for the automatic tips. read more

everything about the experience was wonderful. Our servers Joshua and Christell were attentive, kind, and helpful! My water glass never went empty which is a feat because I drink a lot of water.

My family had lunch here recently. The food was average but the service was beyond terrible. To top off a bad experience our check already added a 20% tip to the bill and had the audacity to leave a place for an additional tip.

Nice large open concept space in the middle of the concourse level of Rockefeller Plaza. Reminiscent of an airport lounge. I like it! Regular, American type menu including apps, burger, roasted chicken, etc. nothing fancy. I got the roasted chicken and a side of mashed potatoes. The potatoes were especially yummy, very homemade tasting and oh so buttery!! The chicken was really good as well! Very flavorful and fresh and hot. Cooked just right, and juicy not overdone like many places. My husband had a cheeseburger and he also said it was really good! That's a bonus from a burger critic! read more
