   I love Joe Allen! I've been a number of times over the years, but this time I brought two friends and it was their first time. We were greeted by a very friendly host and were served by a delightful, wait person. We ordered a few items off of the menu and they were all delicious - Cubano Sandwich, La Scala salad (LOVED), French fries and Banana Cream Pie for dessert. Festive beverages of Lemon Drop Martini, Kir Royale and Cappuccino's made for a lovely lunch before heading off to the theater. I highly recommend Joe Allen. They are a wonderful, welcoming restaurant with friendly service and delicious food.

   We introduced a good friend of ours to this awesome restaurant for a pre-theater lunch. We absolutely loved the shrimp cocktail for our appetizers. The chicken salad and soup of the day was unbelievably yummy. And the crêpes with ice cream was the perfect ending to an absolutely phenomenal lunch. A special shout out to TK our server. He was so friendly, super accommodating and unbelievably attentive throughout our entire lunch. Thank you TK !!!

   Was in town for business and staying at the Marriott Marquis so trying to find something within a few blocks walking distance for lunch was going to be hard I was afraid and then I remembered Joe Allen used to go to the one in Los Angeles in the early 80s and I’ve been to this one before but probably hadn’t been there in over 25 years. Had meetings in the morning and then another one at 3 PM so was going to be challenged I thought for lunch reservation, but luckily Joal was open and we got in and I’m glad we did it! From being greeted to we sat down and then being served by Hannah Was a treat, her ability to connect with her customer, knowing the menu and just a great attitude made the lunch. The burger is still fantastic as it has been for 40 years plus and everything my associates had they were very happy with. Will definitely be going back there if in the neighborhood.

   Joe Allen is best theatre district spot for brunch by far. Iconic space, diverse menu, great food, and attentive service.

    I first experienced Joe Allen back in the summer of 1992, when my uncle who lived in New York took my mother and me out for dinner before Phantom. This was my third time dining there, and I was with my family before going to see Wicked for my brother’s birthday. Everything was phenomenal! We had the burger, pork chop, meatloaf and steak frites, and they were all hits. Our server was superb, very attentive, and handled herself with aplomb - especially the TLC she displayed to my dad who is hard of hearing. It’s easy to see why they are a fixture in the theater district, and you can be sure I will be back the next time my travels bring me to New York!
