    "Deep in the Heart of the Meatpacking District"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsuhovkRLbA Howdy! You can find the country bumpkin watering hole named, "the Waylon". If you are into affordable bar food, country tunes and fresh cold beer - this is your place. And if you are a Packers fan, that is the cherry on top for some (my roomie). My boyfriend and his friends have dude's night here. And now it's become my own little slice of country goodness. I enjoy all the grub and I'm picky. I love the guac and the super crunchy chips. Huge fan of the veggie burger option. And I have a Lonestar beer when I'm in the mood, a fancy IPA other nights and a glass of chilled rose if that's what I fancy. The music is such a fun addition to the mood. The band is talented and will indulge us with pop covers in their style even. Our buddy knows all the songs and he sings them all. I even recommend this spot if you're headed to Terminal 5 for a relaxing pre function vibe before standing at a show for hours. Highly recommend for country and non country lovers! Added bonus is a back patio. They also take reservations for slightly larger groups. Tip your bartender y'all!

    Fried Cheese Curds

    Food was divine! We watched the NBA finals here and it didn't disappoint. So fun. Perfectly loud too. The bartenders were fine - nothing extraordinary, but maybe we aren't extraordinary ourselves! The Buffalo chicken sandwich is wow. So good. With blue cheese. Yum. The bun is great. Chicken is perfectly cooked. Buffalo is tangy. The fries are money. The cheese curds are an excellent appetizer. We sat at the bar. My total came to $27. I wish they would've asked if I wanted more water more often. Great place.

    One of the only country-western bars in Hell's Kitchen NYC. Live music starts at 9pm on Saturday and the band was good! Be warned, it's a Green Bay Packers bar, so if that's not your scene, then you'll want to find a different venue for your NFL games. Tried the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Large juicy chicken breast perfectly fried, served along side blue cheese dressing and fries (extra charge).

    Chili with tortilla chips yum one thousand

    Texas theme (straight) bar in Hell's Kitchen. Frito pie rocks. Prices are good for happy hour. Big outdoor patio (covered I think) and country music normally on weekends.

    Waylon Cobb Salad...$12 for a tiny side salad?! Compare to dressing cup...never again

    Ugh I'm never ordering from here again! I ordered the Waylon Cobb salad with cotija ranch dressing. It was $12 along with tax, delivery, tip, and caviars fees $16. What I received was a tiny little side salad Cobb style. This was worth about $5. Minimal bacon. Guac not fresh. Small amount of chicken. Small amount of pico. Was there a hard boiled egg? Maybe a piece or two? But wow. Worst Cobb salad I've ever had. I will never order from here again. Huge waste of money. You'll spend a lot and never be full coming here. I've had the Cobb salads at American Retro and they are THE BEST!!! Same price and triple the size and toppings. I'll stick with them. :)

    The best Packers bar they have classic Wisconsin foods and drinks, including cheese curds, brats, and bloody Mary's. I highly recommend doing a shotski after a Packers win! The staff was friendly and fun, and the bar is cozy and reminds me of a piece of home. There's outdoor seating as well

    Ask the Community - The Waylon

    Are they doing happy hour specials?

    Did they restart live music yet?

    Is trivia every Wednesday?

    Would this place be a good spot to dance to some courntry or rock music?

    Hi Kelsey! The Waylon is great place to dance to mainly country music and a handful of rock n roll albums (Tom Petty, Springsteen, Lynrd Skynrd) Heck, you can dance on the tables if you want!

    On top of that, we were surprised to discover that it's also a country music bar with a stacked country jukebox!

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with champagne, which immediately set the tone for a special evening. Our server, Daniel, was beyond amazing. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our anniversary meaningful. It never felt forced just thoughtful, polished hospitality. The team went above and beyond when we brought our wedding cake (which had been frozen for a year). Not only did they accommodate it without hesitation, they helped decorate and present it beautifully you would have thought it had been baked that same day. It was such a touching moment for us, and they handled it with care and enthusiasm. As for the food: incredible. The steak tartare was perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. The tuna was fresh and vibrant. And the Beef Wellington... honestly one of the best I've had in New York City. Perfectly cooked, rich, elegant, and absolutely worthy of a celebration dinner. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: romantic, warm, refined but relaxed. It felt special without being stiff. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, this is it. We will absolutely return.

I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.

Unfortunately, our server only heard that 5 of us wanted afternoon tea, and one of the tiers of food was smaller than the others.

Our server didn't check up on us, and seemed to want us to leave quickly after dropping off the check. We would have been happy to pay the $65 each for afternoon tea, but it wasn't worth it and frankly, I was agitated by the whole ordeal by the time I left. We were also disappointed by the food items (as they were lacking) and nothing about this was like other experiences we had with other afternoon teas. I can't in good faith recommend this place, nor do I see myself coming back after the atrocious service we experienced.
