I had a delivery order from the new P. J. Clark's on 33rd Street. The food was good. I had Oysters Rockefeller, New England Clam Chowder, the 1884 Cheeseburger with Onion Strings and the Rice Pudding. The oysters were fresh with a nice seasoning of Parmesan cheese and spinach. The clam chowder was a little light of clams but otherwise decent enough. I liked the cheeseburger which was nice and thick and a perfect medium, as requested. The onion strings were delicious. The bread pudding was like a muffin with cream sauce on the side, a little different but very good. Packing was well done and delivery was fast. Overall, a simple but good meal...would order from them again.
So stopped here on my way back from the NY Auto show and I was HUNGRY! I mean, when am I not?? lol I ordered the fish and chips and an espresso martini. The bartender was friendly and patient. My drink was very good. The food was hot and delicious. The atmosphere was giving upscale pub, but a nice tolerable vibe. Talking made easy (no shouting over music). Nice chill after work atmosphere. Also thanks to Louis (the bartender) for being so nice and personable.
While in the city, I dined at P.J. Clarke's, a New York institution dating back to 1884. Given its history and reputation, I had high expectations, and P.J. Clarke's absolutely delivered. The martini arrived in a coupe, perfectly chilled and stirred with just the right amount of vermouth. Not overly boozy, not drowning in vermouth, just a beautifully balanced martini. The personalized skewer featuring the P.J. Clarke's name was also a fun old-school touch. The olives were meaty, flavorful, and not overly salty. And when it came to the food, the martini paired perfectly with the fresh oysters and burger. The oysters were cleanly shucked, fresh, and finished with that perfect briny bite. The burger was cooked beautifully and came with crispy, thin fries. To top it all off, the staff was accommodating and attentive, making the entire experience even better. A classic New York City martini in a classic New York City setting. Well-balanced, flavorful, and served with just enough old-school charm. P.J. Clarke's understands the assignment.
Went to this place for a group dinner for their first full night opening. The service was great and the servers were friendly and fun. The vibe is a pub-type bar, loud, lively, bright colors, and crowded. That was all fine. But the food is VERY mediocre. We started with the crispy long island oysters, tuna tartare tacos, bread with honey butter, and crab claws. All very mediocre, lacked flavor, and overall just ho hum. The crispy oysters had so much breading that you couldn't taste the oysters. The bread tasted like it was from a supermarket, the honey butter was just regular butter with honey poured on top, and the crab was flavorless. I hoped for better with the main course. I ordered a lobster roll, Conneticut style, and thought I'd get a good lobster roll given they do a lot of seafood. It was the most flavorless lobster roll I've ever eaten. People at our table who ordered different things were asking if they had salt becausebl of how bland everything was. The best part was dessert. We got the bread pudding which looked dense and dry but was quite good, not overly sweet, well cooked and tasty. But all in all, don't come here if you want good food. A good place for you to grab some drinks with friends and then eat somewhere better, which shouldn't be too hard to find given it's New York.
Woohoo first to review! P.J. Clarke's Oyster Bar & Grill (aka P.J. Clarke's Midtown West) has FINALLY opened. At long last, a decent bar in the area -- Hudson Yards is slowly getting better! This P.J. Clarke's has been in the works for over a year now and my colleagues and I eagerly kept watch on when it would open. That day (today) has arrived. In general my favorite food things to order at PJ Clark's are the burgers. For lunch we got an order to go of the trio mini burgers and the Caesar salad. Both were made fresh and delicious. I love a good Caesar salad. True they are a little pricey for a casual lunch but if you want great quality, doesn't hurt to splurge a little. And then because we love a good thing, we went after work for drinks to really soak in the new space. I got my usual Old Fashioned! The layout is so spacious with a rectangle bar and specific oyster shucking area. In the back is a separated dining area in case you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the bar crowd. Oh and the service was wonderful. Everyone greeted me with such kindness and warmth, and I saw that the managers were going around and asking everyone how they're enjoying their beverage or food, etc. Shout out to Julie who was super friendly! Bartenders were great too. Such a welcome addition to the hood! This will definitely become one of our new favorite haunts.
Great addition to the neighborhood but always packed! Good luck walking in so try to make a reservation. Oysters are fantastic. Burger is pretty good also as is the salad with salmon.
The hostess was friendly and chatty while we waited for our table. The host who led us to our table was also quite polite and hung up our jackets. They treated us like refined guests. Definitely caters to the more corporate crowd, most clients seemed to have come from work. The bar is pretty spacious. Really liked the appetizers. It was nice that the zucchini chips came with tzatziki sauce. The cheesesteak egg rolls are definitely a hit. Be warned the sauce is spicy.
Absolutely wonderfulll after work date night. My dream American spot -- good lighting and vibes, delish oysters and burgers & an ice cold dirty martini! The service is so friendly and kind. 10/10 def come here!
Stopped in to PJ Clarke's on an incredibly busy Saturday (World Cup, Knicks final, Mets game) as we were traveling back through Penn Station. We got a spot right at the oyster bar. Louis helped us pick the freshest oysters. It was my husband's birthday and he gave us a couple shrimp complimentary. Clean bathrooms and so happy we stopped in. Louis was great. Will return next time in the city.
We ordered for delivery two of their lobster rolls on a special though the regular price was priced right. It was the best lobster roll I have ever eaten whether in NY or Maine. The very large portion of meat was fresh, very tasty, and came on a delicious bun. Unlike other lobster rolls that add fillers or seasonings that cover up the true sweet lobster taste, their lobster meat was a true gem of perfection with minimal seasoning and mayonnaise. I will definitely order again very soon!
Got lunch on a Friday at Hudson Yards and after wandering through a few spots, we ended up choosing P.J. Clarke's Hudson Yards, which had actually just opened that day. There were four of us, and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is spacious, there's a huge bar area, plus multiple dining rooms. Most of our group ordered cocktails, and the drink list was extensive with plenty of interesting options. The menu has several burgers, from the classic to the "Bartender's Burger," which comes with smoked bacon, mushroom confit, Asiago cheese, and their special sauce. It includes fries and is priced at $25. The portion was a good size, not massive, but between the burger and fries, it was definitely filling. Our waitress was friendly, upbeat, and attentive. Overall, it's a great stop if you're craving a burger in the area, though both the menu and drinks are on the pricier side, which is expected for Hudson Yards.
Nice old school restaurant with decent service. Waiter seemed overwhelmed with few tables but was pleasant. I had the pot pie that had a glistening crust, tasty vegetables and good amount of chicken. Unfortunately sauce was bland for my taste but still tasty. Host was pleasant as we came in and staff seemed friendly and guests with me raved about their burgers and Cesar salad. Hence 4 and not 5 stars. Will give another try

Went here for pre dinner drinks. Had martinis, moscow mules, old fashioned and non alcoholic mixed drinks. Service was quick and the drinks were good. It has an old style charm which adds to the vibe. Will look forward to trying out their food next time! read more
We enjoyed P.J. Clarke's in PA and decided to try a location in NYC. The esthetic is similar but the menus were different. The P.J. Clarke's in PA appears to have more menu options. Our waiter was great! He checked on us , replenished our water as needed, assisted with the menu, and was friendly. I ordered the PJS 1884 cheeseburger that came with fries and a sprite. Everything was good! read more
had a great experience at PJ Clarke's. Our server, Steven F., was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We ordered the Connecticut-style lobster roll, East Coast oysters, and the PJ's 1884 cheeseburger and everything was delicious. My daughter had the mac and cheese from the kids' menu and finished every last bite. Overall, great food, great service, and a really enjoyable dining experience. I'll definitely be back again. read more

When I went the other day, Erich was my server and he was sooooo amazing. He was very funny, personable, and helpful with both menu and life advice. Great ambiance inside, very spacious. I recommend the baguette with honey butter as an appetizer. Erich also made a very good shirley temple! read more
