Joe Allen New York Reviews from The Last Year
Mothers Day Dinner After a Show
Came to meet up with family after they went to see Suffs on broadway. My first with family and was good. My wife’s sister, her family and my mother in law had already arrived and were well looked after by Jailene our server. She had her A game on which was awesome, she also used to work alongside a former employee of my from a midtown hotel. The food was good, the steak tartare I had could’ve been a little bigger from what I’ve seen from past pics from TripAdvisor. The special soup I had green Mexican style was actually delicious. Place was crowded and loud but fizzled out.
A very pleasant evening .
We have been going to Joe Allen's in London for years so on a visit to New York four of us had dinner on a Sunday night at their off Broadway Restaurant , the food was very good and the Calves liver was cook to perfection , the wines also were excellent , our main waitress appeared tired and just just doing the basics however the young waiter who came to our table was friendly bubbly and appeared very happy with his work .
A Restaurant with Good Energy
This restaurant is great for an after theater dinner! Great energetic vibe with great customer service. The menu has a nice variety of options and the food is really well done. I will definitely return. A super fun, casual place that you can still be dressed up and feel comfortable.
The highlight of this restaurant is definitely the service.
It's excellent, they are always checking on you to see if you need anything so you'll never be lacking. The staff is very personable and kind as well. The food came out within MINUTES of ordering, too. It's the fastest I've ever received my food from a restaurant before, and the quality of the food was still so great. I got a cheeseburger and fries and it was perfectly done and tasted amazing. It's a great place if you want to get a quick and quality meal before seeing a broadway show! They get you there on time for sure.
The service was excellect.
Devon was very personable and very attentive. The rest of the staff seemed excellent as well. The food came out fast, hot and without sacrificing quality. They will get you to your b'way show on time.
Goid pre theater dinner
This spot is great for. Pre theater dinner. Food was better than we remembered! Service was great. We will definitely goback
The interior is fascinating with all the historic posters.
I wish the food was as interesting as the posters. I don't even know how some food is so flavorless and some is so overly salted. The service is good and friendly. With so many great restaurants in New York I would look forward to trying other places for future Broadway shows.
Vanishing New York.
Unfortunately Joe Allen's is not at all what it once was. This neighborhood stalwart known for being a "theater hangout" was once open late enough for post theater dining where you could enjoy a drink and a meal after seeing a Broadway show. You could meet friends, run into old ones, and even make new ones late into the night. I recently saw MJ The Musical on a Saturday evening with an 8pm curtain. The show runs 2 hours 45 minutes coming down at 10:45pm. I had an 11pm reservation for 6 family members I had in town. All was well until a mutual friend arrived for just a quick drink at 12:05am. The doors were locked. When I explained to the waiter and manager that my friend didn't want food (as the kitchen was closed), and just came to say a quick hello, they acted like it was insane for anyone to show up at midnight. We were told the bar was hard closed at 12am. We basically had to finish up and leave as my friend had come from a different part of town and I couldn't just send him away. In the old days you used to be able to stumble into the bar at 1am no problem. I do see now on Google that they have changed their hours to closing at 11:30pm. This review is just a word to the wise that this is no longer the Joe Allen's we knew. For shows that end near 11pm (remember Les Miz) this is not a restaurant catering to the theater crowd anymore. When the proprietor Joe Allen died a few years back, I believe his restaurant died with him. My recent experience was a good reminder that nothing lasts forever. Side note: When the restaurant came back after the pandemic, they took away the white tablecloths they had since the restaurant opened. A server told me that management did this as a "safety precaution." I suppose everyone but me knew that you could get COVID from a tablecloth. Color me naive. Again, Vanishing New York.

All around great! The food is always hot and good, and the staff are always super personable and provide excellent service! I'm a creature of habit, and almost always get the meatloaf, which comes with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, but tonight I went for my mom's fave, the grilled half chicken. It was piping hot, and tender and juicy. It's de-boned, so makes it super easy to eat! No strange sauces or spices, but still quite flavorful. It comes with mashed potatoes. My aunt and uncle both got burgers which they said, and I've heard, are very good! A solid pre-theatre dinner spot, which empties out a little bit before curtain time. Occasionally, you will have celebrity sightings if you're into that. Reservations are a must and cannot be made before 1week in advance.
A pre-Broadway show institution, I made my requisite
A pre-Broadway show institution, I made my requisite reservation seven days in advance. That morning, multiple availabilities opened, which has me wondering if they take reservations on a few tables on Open Table for visitors, as the place was packed when we arrived. We were seated in the corner near the service station by the door. A terrible table, perhaps solely for those out-of-towners like me thinking a reservation means something on Restaurant Row. Skip Open Table and call directly, perhaps? The saving graces were Matthew, our charming server, and my strong gin & tonic. Our meals were very average for such a highly touted restaurant. My Caesar salad was overdressed, and dotted with supermarket quality crotons. The salmon was nicely cooked but the ramekin of rice lacked complexity. Surely the food could be improved upon, but I suppose with Joe Allen's reputation, there is no need. The diners will continue to flock to it, both locals and visitors alike, even though its heydays are long past.

Great little spot in the theater district. Warm cozy ambience. Our food was delicious and service was outstanding. Easy, fast service.
So we have gone here after the theater about a million
So we have gone here after the theater about a million times. Last night about anniversary. After mistakenly charging us for a drink out adorable and amazing waiter had it removed. However the manger thought we wanted the anniversary dessert removed and came over to tell us "we don't give desserts away for anniversaries." Cool. Incredible tacky and totally wrong as it wasn't the issue. Wow. Like embarrassing.
Excellent place to stop for a pre-show snack and drinks.
Our waiter was delightful and the vibe was great. Very old school, cellar bar New York. And very convenient location. My friend and I shared a veggie quesadilla and Cesar salad. Great light pairing.
Since 1965
Theatre tickets and Super Bowl Sunday. Stopped by Joe Allen for 2 Irish coffee and the famous banana cream pie. Pretty average experience.
This place is overrated and we were disappointed.
We were rushed to order (she came back at least 3 times in 5 minutes) only to have our waitress disappear and table be taken over by someone else without any introduction or comment. Our food was rushed as well - salad came out as soon as order placed - Caesar salad nothing special. Burger was undercooked. Don't recommend the banana pie. Nobody even acknowledged us as we left yet they were all standing at the entrance - I've never had that unless I'm at a fast food restaurant. We definitely were flagged as just being in for a show. Won't go back and won't recommend.
A piece of theater history
This was the perfect spot for our pre-matinee lunch! If you are a theater fan, you have to come to Joe Allen at least once. It is a staple in the New York theater community. The service and food were great. My only complaint would be the brunch menu felt a little limited, but everyone in our party found something they wanted.
Everything was very tasty! We enjoyed the vibes and the
Everything was very tasty! We enjoyed the vibes and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend the shrimp and the liver (if that's your thing!)
Saddened
First went to,Joe Allen when I moved to NYC in the 1970s. Loved it and went often. Always first place I go to when I get to the city. Probably go 4 to 6 times a year. For years only ordered the steak tartare. Was great you mixed it yourself which was wonderful. A number of years ago it was off menu (Bloomberg thing) came back as an appetizer not nearly as good. Service has fallen and ambience just different. Made me sad so in the future stop in for a martini and find another place to eat.
Great meal, great vibes
We had a wonderful experience here for dinner. The hosts and our server were super welcoming and engaging. The ambiance of the restaurant is also very warm and inviting. I had the meatloaf, which came with mashed potatoes and spinach - it was delicious. My friend had a salad that she enjoyed as well. The walls are decorated with posters from “flopped” Broadway shows, which adds to the charm and definitely adds to dinner conversation as you look around. This is a great, unique place!
Joe Allen is great place to go before a Broadway show
We went before a Broadway play and it was a great choice. In spite of being super busy, we got out in plenty of time. At first I was nervous because it took our server a long time to initially take our orders. He made up for it by repeatedly apologizing and assuring us we would get our dinner in time to eat and get to the show, which we did. The food was great and we had plenty of time to get to our show which was within walking distance. Highly recommend for a pre-Broadway dinner.
Never Disappoints
Joe Allen never disappoints. The staff is great. Love Kevin and Chris. They always accommodate our table requests, love to chat about the shows and make us feel at home. The wait staff is excellent. We almost never have a problem but when we do, they insist on correcting the situation. Last night we had one of the best waiters ever, Michael. He took care of everything. Also the wait staff will always get to the show on time if you give them around an hour plus walking time to the theater. And most important is that the food is very good. Always looking forward to coming here.
Meh
I had the grilled chicken salad. The chicken was very dry and without flavour and the salad wasn’t very interesting, in terms of ingredients but the dressing was good.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Payout limits? Have 1k…
Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT.

I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
