Great Atmosphere, Brilliant Staff, Fantastic Food

by Celtic09

I stopped in Kennedy's earlier this summer for a pint and to view a Euro Football Match. Had a few pints, some great food - and chatted with several locals and tourists. I've now returned several times. Seamus and Matt are true gentlemen, great hosts and do their best to make you feel at home. Try their Baked Chicken Pie, easily the best I've ever had. Their fish specials and burgers are second to none. Whether you're solo, or want to take the family for a very good, affordable meal - Kennedy's is worth the visit.

• Pros: Great Food Selection, Pricing & Wonderful Staff

Best Restaurant and Better Staff in NYC

by belfastsusinjim

Without a doubt Kennedys has got to be the best restaurant from all aspects - be it Star Spotting (Uncle Junior from the Sopranos), Talent spotting (my husband singing!!) or the wonderful food and staff. The Baked Clams and Pate are the best appetisers in the world, as for the fillet of beef ... to die for. Regardless of the quality of the food in Kennedys our commendation has to go to the bar tenders, JP, Conor and the rest. They are the nicest friendliest guys you could ever meet in NYC. Go in once and the next time you visit they will know your order and where you prefer to sit. We have been going into this venue for the last seven years and now when we book a hotel in NY we make sure it is within walking distance to Kennedys. Coming from Belfast it is nice to say that Kennedys is our "local" in NY. Enjoy and best wishes to all the guys there.

• Pros: Couldn't possibly complain - LOVE IT
• Cons: None

Cozy

by Carloma

The food was good, the atmosphere good. I like the feel and the decor. Felt like a local joint. It got crowded though and there was a wait by the time we left and we were there for a few hours. Wine selection was good. Overall, I was pleased and would go back when I out that way again.

excellent Irish bar and grill

by gfwt

I have been here many times, and never disappointed. There are two sections - the bar area and the restaurant, with different menus. Both are good, with the bar menu more informal. Excellent service, and very good beer! This is the kind of place New York should have forever

Huge Burger, Cold Beer, Friendly Service, Nice Ambiance

by mnong

Service was prompt and friendly. The menu very appealing (I had the burger, which was huge and tasty). I found the beer selection more than adequate. Would definitely go back to explore the other menu items. Huge back seating area - much classier than you would expect.

Not much in the area so expect to travel afterwards if you plan on going out on the town.

• Pros: Appealing menu, nice beer variety, manly sized burger, friendly staff

Midtowners dine fireside on Dublin-style lamb stew, filet mignon and ale-battered shrimp at this Irish restaurant.

Great food, great service, very relaxed

by js40

I've been here many many times and tried just about everything on the menu. The quality of the food is top notch. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the chicken wings...and the steak can be questionable. But everything else on the menu is great!! The service is great, typical Irish charm. Don't be overwhelmed by the crowd in the front of the restaurant, there is a huge back section with a 2nd bar that always has room for more.

• Pros: Great Food, Friendly Service
