grilled chicken sandwich
Terrilyn L.

I love this as a take out place for lunch. I've had great experience and have ordered from here at least 10 times, normally as part of a group lunch order. This is an office favorite. The fried chicken is always freshly fried, seasoned lightly but tasty and give the vibe of home style chicken fingers. I also love adding chicken to thier salads. The salad options are plentiful and ingredients and dressings do not disappoint. Burgers are great; they are juicy and full of flavor. The size of the burgers are sufficient for an individual meal. The sweet potato fries are very tasty, they are soft with a thin crispy outer layer, I definitely recommend!! mac and cheese - creamy and a perfect side if you need a break from fries. Lastly, the shakes are awesome, my favorite is the chocolate peanut butter - it's deliciousss!!!

Chicken Fingers & Fries and Cheeseburger

Stopped into Schnipper's on a recent trip to New York. Their service is friendly and knowledgeable about allergens. They have gluten free buns and fryers. We ordered then chicken tenders and a burger. Everything had good taste, and it was nice to be able to get these items gluten free. There are plenty of places to sit, and the food comes out pretty fast. A great place for a quick bite.

Stopped in for chicken fingers. $10.50 for 4 fingers or $11.50 for 4 fingers and fries. They took a bit but they were hot and pretty good. The fries were decent as well. They have lots of sauce options. I got the bbq one. Extra sauce is $1. The chicken was crispy!

Chicken sandwich and fries
Jeannie T.

Great lunch spot in the Midtown East area...a bit pricey but it satisfies the comfort food cravings. What a burger and a beer? Check. Or a root beer float with your fried chicken sandwich? Check. Hot dog or Mac & cheese? Sure! Both are on the menu. For the non- carnivores and vegetarian fans, they offer Plant based burgers and a variety of premium salads. So don't worry, bring your vegetarian friend along. Lunch time gets pretty busy but thankfully there's seating on the upper level if the first floor is full. Food is made fresh to order for the most part so it does take a few minutes to get it. Not fast food, comfort food!

Good option for a quick meal in the city. Decent sized mention with a few vegetarian options. I tried the impossible burger and fries. Good size and flavor.

I was in the neighborhood for a work event around lunchtime, and it wasn't that packed, so I decided to eat here, and this was my first time. You can eat dine in if you choose to as there's plenty of seating. The menu is plastered right on top of the register. There's so much to choose from, like salads, burgers, chicken, etc.. I ordered the four chicken strips that come with a sauce on the house and fries. It was just enough food for me. I read reviews, and people claim that the salads are good here. I'm not sure if I would come here to get a salad. All in all, I'm not sure if I'll be returning as this is quite far from my office and the price point is a bit high.

First time at Schnippers and it didn't disappoint. I went on a weekday; late afternoon and missed the crowd. The menu is a bit overwhelming as there's lots of appetizing options. I went for the Sweat Heat Crispy Chicken sandwich and the vanilla milkshake. Warning, the sandwich is spicy, but I enjoyed the heat from the jalapeños and the vanilla milkshake was the perfect combo to quell the fire. I'd even make it a point to stop in just for a milkshake. Also noteworthy, the order was ready fast and there's plenty of seating.

Tasty, fast, and affordable. Also right at 51st & Lexington Station. The perfect dinner stop on the way to Yankee Stadium.

My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.
