Wow, what an incredible experience! Pick & Cheese is a conveyor style restaurant that offers different cheese pairings. Although they were fully booked on resy, I was able to call in to get a reservation. The hostess and service staff were so welcoming and did a great job at explaining the menu to me. The plates ranged from 5.95 to 8.95 with the option to order off-belt dishes. They also offer unlimited crackers to eat with your cheese pairings. My favorite dish was the mozzarella pearls (#1). The cheese was velvety soft and paired so well with the honey. Each dish was absolutely wonderful. Overall, this was a great experience and the food was delicious. I'll have to stop by again next time I'm in the area. read more

Absolutely loved! The server was so upbeat and met all our needs quickly. The cheese selection was awesome and we really didn't have a hard time finding the cheeses we wanted. The kitchen staff even overheard that we wanted one specifically and placed it right in front of us. 10/10 would recommend if you are ready to eat your body weight in cheese!! oh, and definitely do the blue cheese gelato. LOVED. read more

I was in cheese paradise on a Eurotrip a few years ago, the cheese was varied, plentiful, and inexpensive. I stumbled upon Kaasbar in Amsterdam, their version of a conveyor belt cheese plate. Cheese rotating around under bell jars for you to pick up and place directly in front of you for consumption was a novelty to me at the time, and I've been dreaming about recreating that experience ever since. Enter Pick & Cheese's midtown Manhattan location. It's inside Shaver Hall, a new food hall with pretty good vendors. Pick & Cheese is likely their flagship eatery, and you can spot their neon sign gleaming from far away. The cheese prices are denoted by plate color, and there's a description of each cheese and its pairing on a paper menu. Shout out to our server Chayanne who helped us when we were confused. As a self proclaimed connoisseur of cheese, I felt pretty good about identifying which cheeses I would enjoy before picking up the plate. I think my group felt maxed out after trying about 12 different plates. It's a fun novelty experience I wouldn't mind repeating. read more

As someone who occasionally enjoys trying new cheeses but wouldn't consider myself necessarily a cheese fan, I enjoyed this experience a lot more than I expected to. The cheese pairings were all very well done and thoughtfully curated, so I enjoyed the cheeses more than I would've on their own. Only thing I wouldn't necessarily recommend was the ham, which I didn't like as much as the cheese. Favorites included the mozzarella pearls, aged Gouda with toffee, and Camembrie with caramelized onions. I really appreciated that they try to use local cheeses as much as they can. Would def go back again-- had my eye on that Humboldt fog, along with a few other intriguing pairings (the caramel popcorn one seemed so fun and the pesto one looked delish). read more

Fun unique restaurant to check out if you love cheese and conveyors. Cheese varied in awesomeness; nothing really jumped out. But it was a fun experience and nice to check off my list. Servers were great. Made a reservation if you are out of luck. read more

I finally tried the viral Pick & Cheese restaurant that is surprisingly located in a food court. When you are first seated, the menu is explained by your server who goes into detail how it works when selecting cheese. Each plate is color-coded to indicate the price for that particular item and has a number tag to find on your menu/guide explaining each cheese and pairing. Interestingly each number is kinda like a level or type of cheese flavor profile since No.1 (I believe) was mozzarella balls drizzled with nuts and honey. That was beginner level and Cheese 101. All the way to donut pastry sandwich with goat cheese cream. And funny enough, the back of the menu recommended how to order and which level of cheese to try in a particular which I found out by the end after tasting about 9 varies plates of cheese. Word of advice, eat your money's worth of cheese because I left leaving full of cheese especially the fancy kind that had truffle filling and donut pastry pairing. Do come with a friend because it's best shared with friends who also love cheese paired with things you would've never thought could be paired with. Overall the restaurant surprised me for being located in a food court because it presents themselves from the decor space, plating, and staff as a high-end cheese restaurant with its own location. But it's New York City where you can find hole in the walls and hidden gems all around the city. It just takes truly finding them and tasting to find the true gems. And this is one of them for sure. read more

I came here with my husband before a concert and it was so much fun. We already enjoy the revolving sushi bars, so what's better than a revolving cheese bar? It is such a fun concept and it was PACKED. I did make reservations, and I think that's a must. I don't remember how many dishes we got but the bill was $73, without tip. It is a bit pricy but again, so much fun! We also enjoyed everything we tried. A manager asked us how everything was when we were leaving which we told him how much we loved it. He seemed like he truly cared. I would definitely come back and would recommend! read more

What a delight for any cheese lover! I had been counting down the days until this place opened, and it did not disappoint. Few things are better than settling in with a glass of wine, watching the England vs. Argentina match, and sampling an ever-changing parade of cheeses and small bites drifting by on a slow-moving conveyor belt during the heatwave in Manhattan. From creamy and buttery to sharp and complex, every plate was a little culinary adventure. Set inside the beautifully restored Shaver Hall, the former Lord & Taylor flagship store , this British chain offers a unique experience that feels both playful and whimsical. Foodies, cheese enthusiasts, and wine lovers: add this one to your must-try list! read more

I went to Pick & Cheese during their opening 2 weeks because I have a feeling that this place is going to be hard to get a seat at soon. The conveyer belt was such a fun concept and we enjoyed having to look for and spot the cheeses we wanted to try. I went with my husband and our friend on a Friday afternoon, and we got to enjoy a large selection of cheeses since there were 3 of us. Each cheese came with a pairing. We had 11 plates between the 3 of us, sharing all of them. We got the pickles in the middle to split up all the cheese. Our favorites were the St. Stephen (this was 2 of ours favorite) and the Humboldt Fog. Other strong contenders that we liked were the Hootenanny and the Aged Gouda. The servers were great and always made sure our water was filled and our crackers were replenished. They also helped clear out plates as we finished them. If there was one we wanted to try and couldn't find it, the servers would make sure to get it for us. Don't leave without getting the desserts. The donut and the cheesecake were both amazing. My husband is not a cheesecake fan whatsoever and even he had to give props to that cheesecake. Honestly, I look forward to going back. We had a great time and it was such a cool and unique experience! read more

Pick & Cheese was such a delightful treat. An English import, 28 round plates with see through covers meander slowly on a conveyer belt. Each plate consists of cheeses, salamis and accompanying savory and sweet bites. Each dish's cover holds a stainless steel key with a number. Look at the menu for the number and read the description and price. I first picked two plates of Pork Saucisson ($5.95) which resembled thinly sliced salami with Cornichons and the Reverie ($6.85) which was a slice of firm Alpine cheese paired with roasted garlic cloves. This was a marriage made in heaven as I am very fond of garlic in all its forms. Being still a little peckish I chose the Lady Edison Country Ham (6.95) which was rolled up delicately so that it looked plump. Crackers are served with everything one eats. These three cost a total of $19.85. With tax and tip this came to $25.19 which is rather pricey. As I drank iced water this bill didn't go up any higher. Maya was the hostess who showed me to my seat and was kind. I brought the menu home as I plan to return to have a few more. Seating is around the conveyer belt on bar style seats and hooks for bags. read more

We traveled 2.5 hours from south jersey fighting crowds of locals and tourists, crazy New York traffic, a ferry and a bus just to try this restaurant and we're not disappointed. For some reason this was more fun to me than the Japanese sushi version. EVERY plate and I mean each one of cheese was the most delicious and perfectly paired with fruit, honey, ham, etc. My kid had two plates of the cheesecake with lemon honey and he hates honey. I wish they had one closer to us maybe Philly (hint hint.) Because I would be there all the time. It's been such a long time since I was impressed by a new restaurant and this made the list for sure! read more

Such a fun place to try multiple plates. Prices for the plates are reasonable. I really enjoyed this experience. read more

Great time for a fun and interactive eating experience. I went with 2 other friends - we got a bottle of wine, tried almost all of the plates (we maybe missed 6-7 plates out of a 30ish plate menu) and ended up with a bill of only $100 each! To me, in New York especially, that's a good deal. And it filled us up to carry us through a night of activities (admittedly we did get a late night slice, but we had to while we were in the city lol). Server was very welcoming and had a nice demeanor. Gave good wine recs and was knowledgeable about most of the menu. Would recommend for a fun date night, girls get together, or something to try if you enjoy unique experiences! I can see this place picking up steam quickly, so get in while it's hot! read more

Fantastic cheese bar. The cheese arrives on a conveyor belt and you can grab what you wish. Cheese pairings are exceptional. There is a good wine and beer list. The ambiance is lively but you can still have a conversation. Already made reservations for a second visit. read more

Thank you Pick & Cheese for Pick & Choosing to come to USA! My mom and I visited London not too long ago but didn't make it here, so it was nice to get to try it on our trip to NYC. I do a lot of solo trips to NY so this is definitely the kind of place you want to take a partner because you can sample more cheeses and the plates really do add up ($$) We have a conveyor belt sushi place near where I live so I'm familiar with how you can be tempted as you dine and the cheeses parade past you like it's the Fromage Macys Day Parade. Everything we tried was very good and it's nice to sample cheeses you might otherwise never try. read more

The kimchi blue cheese pairing was maybe one of the best things ever. Such a cute concept and great service, would recommend!

What a fun concept. I saw this place in London and didn't get to try it, so when I saw it here in NY, I was so excited to get the chance! There were 5 of us so we sat in a little booth. The cheeses were plentiful and came around consistently. Some were hit, some were miss. Servers were nice. It was a little bit of challenge having stacks of glass lids and metal numbers on the table. There should be a better way of getting these off the table in a quicker way. This is definitely not a place to have a full meal, more of an appetizer or snack, but a very fun experience! You get a pencil to check off the cheeses you have tried which makes it easy to keep track. Some people said it was confusing but the menu has descriptions and lots of cheese coming around so it wasn't too bad. Fun! read more

Amazing selections, great ambiance, super friendly and knowledgeable service truly a phenomenal experience! Seriously someone needs to invest, open up retail to sell the product and get this concept in all major cities- if we had one in Vegas I'd be there once a week and my fridge would be filled with charcuterie read more

Visited Pick & Cheese inside the new Shaver hall tonight for a birthday snack, what a treat! Everything is gorgeous inside, the space is intimate but also good for being social. The staff are extremely attentive and knowledgeable about all the products, giving detailed descriptions and recommendations for cheeses and pairings. Everything we tried was delicious, and I can't wait to go back again and again to try more. read more

As soon as I heard about a cheese conveyor belt, I knew I had to try it. The experience was super unique and fun. There was a paper menu that we were able to write on to keep track of what we'd tried and how we liked it. The prices were fair, although it was very easy to get carried away grabbing plates of cheese. It adds up! The cheeses and their pairings were really unique, and it seemed as though there was something for everyone! I appreciated that they also had plates of accompaniments like salami and pickles. My one complaint would be that, being there for over an hour, there were several dishes that just never passed us by. I would likely go back, but maybe I'd wait for a menu change so I have a higher likelihood of trying something new! read more

I absolutely love this concept! It's one of those ideas that makes you think, "Why didn't I think of that?" They even hand you a menu and a pencil so you can check off the cheeses you've tried and keep track of your favorites. The color-coded plates, based on price, make the whole experience simple, interactive, and fun. My only complaint is that I wish there had been a wider selection, and not every pairing was a winner. The Middlebury Blue with kimchi, for example, just didn't work for me. I also really enjoyed the Bijou, but wasn't a fan of the Turkish Delight pairing. I made the mistake of grabbing the pork saucisson, which tasted like something I could have picked up at the supermarket. I should have held out for the bresaola instead. Some of my favorite combinations were the Pipe Dream Buche with shortbread and rosemary, the Humboldt Fog with the savory seed brittle, and the Shepherd's Hope with pesto. I'd happily go back just for those. We also ordered a couple of items off the belt: the Cheddar & Onion Grilled Cheese and the Goat Cheese, Honey & Walnut Grilled Cheese. Both were fantastic. The bread was perfectly buttered and toasted, with just the right amount of ooey-gooey cheese. Unfortunately, the Whipped Goat Cheese Doughnut was the one disappointment. It was dense, heavy, and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. By far, the best thing I ate was the Yogurt Lemon Honey Cheesecake. It was light, bright, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to end the meal. I'd honestly go back just for a slice. One thing to keep in mind: this can turn into an expensive meal without you realizing it. Grabbing plate after plate off the belt is part of the fun, but the total adds up surprisingly fast. read more

As a known "fromageophobe," I was the last person anyone expected to enjoy Pick & Cheese. But a group of friends convinced me to come along and I figured I'd spend the evening politely nibbling crackers while everyone else debated rind texture. I couldn't have been more wrong. Our hostess, Maya, immediately put me at ease. Rather than assuming everyone was a cheese-lover, she took the time to ask what I liked (and, more importantly, what I didn't like, e.g., blue, which tastes like feet). She guided me toward milder cheeses and thoughtful pairings, explained what was coming up next and made me feel completely comfortable asking beginner questions about what was coming round the conveyor belt. Cheese Louise! By the end of the meal I'd tried artisanal and farmhouse flavors I'd've never ordered on my own and actually found a few favorites. The wholeconcept is fun, the atmosphere is lively and the quality of the cheeses and accompaniments - not to mention the advice - is outstanding. Whether you're already a cheese lover or merely cheese-curios, you'll have a great time. Either way, ask for Maya. Her warmth, patience and genuine enthusiasm completely changed my experience. I came in expecting to endure dinner and left planning my next visit. read more

S/o Cedric best server ever. Excellent service, great cheese super affordable and very much a vibe

I came here for lunch on a weekend. The staff is so lovely, and it's such a fun concept! It was cool to look at all the cheese options as they went by, and everything was very tasty. If there is something you really want and don't see it on the conveyor belt for a while, you can ask the staff and they will make sure it gets in front of you. It's hard to find something unique in NYC, but this fits the bill. read more

I am SO excited that this is now open! I've been drooling over their menu in the UK and it's finally here. I joined their first night and was blown away by the atmosphere, cheese selections and the clean natural wines. I don't know a lot about pairings and the team was super knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different cheeses and regions Also, the cheese conveyor belt is the best part! I've never been to a restaurant that has the moving belt and it's as fun as it sounds. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town next time! read more

Fun concept, delicious cheeses and pairings, nice sparkling wine, and welcoming service! I've been eagerly waiting for this place to open for a good year now, and it did not disappoint. My friend and I went after work around 5:30. We had a reservation, though there seemed to be a good number of open seats too. We split eight different cheese plates, one with prosciutto, and then we each had a glass of wine and the bill came out to about $100 (pre-tip). You get nice free crackers to eat with the cheeses, which was perfect. No complaints! Definitely worth checking out. read more
