The combination of a traditional American grill combined with the classic elements of a first-rate steak house best describes Bobby Van’s fourth New York City location. Run by the same four partners who have been awarded Tom Horan’s American Top Ten Steakhouses in each of the past three years, the Grill caters to those seeking the legendary Bobby Van’s Porterhouse as well as lighter dishes such as pastas, salads and fish. All served with the renowned service that has been Bobby Van’s hallmark from its beginnings in 1969. As partner Joseph Hickey said “We’re all about pure, unadulterated customer happiness."

    When we walked in, it was extremely loud, bar very overcrowded. The food was…not good. I ordered the petit filet and what I got was not a filet (something I order often), it was cooked appropriately, but it was tough compared to a filet. My daughter ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was soggy, the chicken was actually soggy. The tiny bit of pasta that came with it was not good either. My drink, a Bobby Van Lemonade, was good, but I was charged more than the menu price. By the time we got the bill we were so ready to leave that I wasn’t even going to complain about the 3 or 4 dollar price increase. The servers were fine, but overall it was not a good experience at all.

    Dear Tiffini, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I'm truly sorry your experience did not meet expectations. I apologize for the loud, overcrowded atmosphere and the issues with your food—it's concerning that the petit filet was tough and that your daughter’s chicken Parmesan was soggy. I also regret any confusion with the pricing on your drink. Your feedback is important, and we will address these concerns with our team. Please feel free to contact me directly at 212-957-5050 if you'd like to discuss further. Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

    If you are looking for a pricey Fridays atmosphere, enjoy! For the price point, the food was disappoonting. Wedge salad with blue cheese had no visible blue cheese. The dressing tasted like bottled blue cheese. Chimichurri was oily. Sautéed mushrooms were salty. Mashed potatoes were flavorless. The wine list lacked depth and imagination.
    Bobby Van's Grill - 50th StreetResponded 5 days ago
    Dear Joyce, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I’m truly sorry that your experience fell short of expectations. Your comments about the wedge salad, dressing, chimichurri, mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and wine list are concerning, and we will share them with our culinary team as we continuously work to improve. If you’re open to discussing your experience further, please contact me at 212-957-5050. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the quality experience our guests deserve.

    Food was very good. Sat in a booth, however, it needed to be fixed. It was springy and very low. I felt like a small child sitting at the table.

    Party of 4 and we were pleasantly surprised. We read mixed reviews but the ambience was great. The food was tasty and plentiful. The mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were delicious and my favorite. The chocolate mouse was the BEST I have ever had. We will be dining here again.
