I shall start off with the average meat-eating omnivore. Options galore!!! Burgers, fries and appetizers for everybody! Vegetarians are delighted here as well Moving on to vegans such as myself... they offer a delicious and I mean SCRUMPTIOUS veggie burger that I would carry out or eat at a patio table anytime! One star off for the stink of cooking animal flesh which killed my appetite and the meaty appearance of everyone's burgers did as well. The star off is also due to their inability to provide any information at all about their French fries and the cooking oil used Vegetarians and those on diets did great with their salads and appetizers Celiacs only fair a very weak okay for the gluten-free options We came here as a large work group, and the service was EXCELLENT Atmosphere was not suitable - we would not return as a group. With all of the customers we could not hear one another speak. Add to that their overly loud music. The place was just TOO LOUD Look I offer the fairest Yelp reviews in all of the Yelp Universe 5-star food, 5-star service and 1-star atmosphere/ambience Sad to not return and I enjoy dining out and would not go through the Empire ordeal again. If I were ill, I would have my husband carryout a 3 meal enormous veggie burger from here and appreciate the yummy option xx Shelby S

Empire has a great atmosphere, especially if you can grab a spot on the rooftop. I visited on a…read moresunny day and really enjoyed the view overlooking the river. I ordered the "Jane," which is a pretty standard burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. It was good overall and cooked well, but it wasn't anything especially memorable or the best burger I've had. One thing that surprised me was how limited the menu was considering how large the restaurant is. I expected a bit more variety. Overall, Empire is worth visiting for the atmosphere and rooftop experience, but the food itself was solid rather than outstanding.

I got the butter pecan shake and my hubby got the cookies and cream. My crispy potato burger wasn't crispy at all and more like a potato mash patty with peas, it wasn't what I was expecting. We both enjoyed the onions rings because they were huge, crispy and not greasy. They look air fried. I ordered through Yelp and paid 55 something and didn't notice I was charged an 8 dollar tip even though we didn't dine in. I don't usually tip if I'm ordering through Yelp and picking it up myself. It was a bit pricey. It was nice to try but I most likely won't come back.

Such a great experience for kids! And so many options on the menu- lots of great lunch prices too…read more The kids menu is affordable and came with a main, a side, a drink and then a full activity booklet, 5 crayons, a dog headband and a full page of STICKERS. This was my 18 month olds dream restaurant experience! For the grown ups, so many choices we will have to come back but I really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender and there was plenty of it. I really liked the honey mustard sauce as well. The fries are beer battered style and seasoned well, I am picky on fries but I loved them! It's a big place with lots of seating but I could see there being a wait if you go during peak times.

Okay, so I actually came here like a few years ago but that was with the old ownership, and the…read morefood then was mediocre. We decided to give this place another try and that was before I knew of the new ownership. I say this because the staff is new when we went this past Wed. We ordered Texas jalapeño double, onion rings, Cajun fries, and chicken wings. Everything was made fresh. She made my burger like how I wanted it, it was juicy. The burger is much bigger than it looks in the picture btw for a double. You can order a single patty. The jalapeño poppers gave it a nice taste, it wasn't spicy at all. The onion rings were okay, I think I'll skip that next time. The Cajun fries were tasty, not too salty. The chicken wings were flavorful on the outside and I love how these wings are meaty. These are not those tiny ones. There was only one woman that ran everything and she was very kind. Prices were reasonable. This is about a 4.5 out of 5.

My wife spotted this place across the street - Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay. How could we go wrong? Well, we couldn't. The interior was smartly outfitted - the lighting, the ceilings, the walls, were all classy and nicely done. Service was outstanding - water and soft drink glasses were refilled regularly, and the table checked for food quality on multiple occasions. I was intrigued by their Prime Rib Sandwich, which is served with onion crisps. I went for the $4 upgrade to Truffle Fries. The sandwich was LARGE, very tasty, and just plain wonderful to eat. The Truffle Fries added a bit of spice to the meal. My wife had their Fish & Chips. When I saw the sandwich on the side just coming out of the kitchen, I was wondering how she'd eat it, since the piece of fish was BIG. Like How Do I eat this BIG. She used her knife and fork and got the job done. Great food, great service, nice location right on Jefferson Avenue. What a great place! We'll have to come back for Dinner!
