Stay Away: Too expensive for poor quality food

by kedunn1980

My sister and I went to Broadway Joe's before a play one Saturday night. We chose this restaurant based on their strong reviews from websites like Citysearch. We were horribly disappointed. The waiter actually forgot to put our meal into the system and we waited for 1 hour before being served (watching everyone around us get seated and eat before we did). While this may have been a mistake (understandable, they were busy), the waiter was completely unapologetic and when I asked to speak to the manager about a discount (pretty standard for that kind of mistake) he whispered "cheap a** b****". Now I understand that a waiter does not necessarily represent the restaurant itself, however the food was equally as bad as the service. I ordered chicken parmesan ($26.75) and spaghetti (which was not included and therefore cost an additional $8) and I got deep fried chicken tenders smothered with cheese (NOT worth $26.75) and the worst spaghetti I've ever eaten (absolutely unedible, covered in starch from being well overcooked). My sister ordered a sirloin and received (and had to pay for a filet mignon, $36.75) which was of mediocre quality at best (a shame for what it cost). Overall, this restaurant charged exorbitant prices ($3.75 for a soda, no refills) for a la cart, mediocre food, and the service made the whole experience exponentially worse. I will never put myself in this position again and suggest you avoid them as well.

• Pros: Close to Theater District
• Cons: Everything else about the restaurant

Very surprised, wow!

by eandgrest

Am a frequent theater goer ive know about Broadway Joe forever, but never went in. I have noticed the renovation and decocided to give it a try. What a surpise, the fried calamari was great, my guest had the oysters, very fresh. And we shared the porterhouse for two with a side of creamed spinach. Oustanding really. Good service, good food. And to top it off they had the yankee game ,so i was able to watch the game and i was in heaven. I highly recomended it when going to the show or any time in the area. Also check out the winelist, nice californian wine selection.

• Pros: Food, winelist, location

Great Steaks at a NY Landmark

I've been to Broadway Joe's many times for lunch as well as with my husband for dinner. Its located conveniently in the midtown/Times Sq. area which is always a plus for business meetings and groups. More importantly, the food is excellent as is the service. I've never been disappointed. Great steaks and seafood, nice ambiance.
