Terrific burgers, excellent service. Cater to a business crowd, easy to get in and out or to sit and talk. More

Went after theatre. Ambience nice. Helpful wait staff although we had to ask to have our tablecloth changed (it was grease-splotched). Caesar sald was good but not great. My wife's burger was very good but my fish and chips came with the batter uncooked. Waitress took it back with apologies and second try was very good. The quality of the... More

Had the best cheeseburger in the world here. Juicy, perfectly cooked. Amazing service - waiter knew his menu and what to recommend. If he offers you onions with the cheeseburger, you have to get them. Delicious! We'd been to the opera and it was the perfect (if unexpected & slightly unorthodox) end to a perfect night. Enjoy!

As my family and I frequently take the ferry to Hoboken. We do find ourselves grabbing a meal from time to time here. The place still tends to be a meatmarket after 5, but the burgers are good and the service is quick - if you tell them you are in a rush. . . More

Last week we had an opportunity to be in New York with friends and our gracious host said that PJ Clarke's was must. We loved everything about this place. Our bartender was the best any of us had ever had. He introduced himself and shook our hands and remembered our names. We had the sampler seafood platter and everything on... More

Stopped in for lunch before "War Horse" at Lincoln Center. All time best waitress ever - Talya (forgive me if I spelled that incorrectly!).Fabulous sense of humor and superior service. Such a gem. Imaginative and fresh food. We wanted every dish that went by to be served to someone else. Can't wait to go back - definitely going to be... More

I recently went to PJ Clarke's with my elderly mother! We had an event to attend at Lincoln Center, and the restaurant is very conveniently located. It was a warm spring day, and rays of sunshine were streaming in. The place was crowded and noisy -- lots going on. We split a hamburger and a turkey burger. Both were very... More
