Barney Greengrass New York Reviews from The Last Year

Yelp: 🙂 (11) Tripadvisor: 🙂 (8)

🙂

Very unique place for smoked fish.

4/5 by Simon C. on 03/22/2023

The Sable is so good. Bagles are great as well. For non-smoked fish preference, the white fish salad is also pretty good.

🙂

Had to try it.

4/5 by Speedy G. on 03/18/2023

Got matzoh ball soup. Got a bagel with nova and scallion cream cheese. Bagel tasty and flavorful. Nova was delicious. Matzo ball soup was weak. The matzoh ball was good. Very pricey but glad I experienced it. Service was fine.

😍

Best deli in the city.

5/5 by Erica W. on 03/14/2023

They have the BEST lox I've ever had. You can get bagels at the deli counter to go or have a sit down meal. Came here for a sit down brunch on a Sunday morning with a party of 2. We had to wait in like for 10 minutes before being seated. We got the off menu latkes and nova eggs and onion scramble. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect- no frills, cozy, calls out your order and just really good food.

😍

Cash only!Great food any part of the day.

5/5 by Dilip J. on 03/12/2023

Bagels, Deli meat, lots of fish choices. They specialize in smoked fish. This place had been around over hundred years, and it's a neighborhood mainstay. It's get crowded, so try to come early to avoid rush hours. Another option is to do take out.

🙂

Visited here two separate times recently.

4/5 by John K. on 03/11/2023

The first time for lunch to try their pastrami on rye and corned beef as well as their deli pickles at the recommendation of the Michelin Guide and the second time for Saturday morning breakfast to try their bagel and lox. I'll say right off the bat that their pastrami and corned beef was just okay by NYC standards and while better than most you would probably get from outside NYC it wasn't nearly as fresh or flavorful as other storied Jewish delis in the city serving up hot pastrami and corned beef like Katz's where there seems to be higher turnover and you literally get your meat piping hot out of the cooker. I probably wouldn't come back to Barney Greengrass seeking a pastrami on rye again now that I've tried it. As for the bagel & lox this is a solid choice without a doubt. Their smoked Nova Scotia salmon sliced fresh in front of you is phenomenal and their bagels they put it on stand up pretty well too. I ordered mine on a plain bagel with plain cream cheese, capers, tomato and onion and I enjoyed every bite. Barney Greengrass and Russ & Daughters on the lower east side seem to be the two spots that always get listed as the best spots for bagel & lox in NYC and they both are pretty comparable to each other. I would definitely be back to either when craving a bagel & lox sandwich. I would visit with the expectation that you will be taking your order to go as there are limited tables here and it's tough to say how busy it will be when you go, though I did visit during an off time for lunch around 3 pm and the tables were mostly empty except for mine and one other. If you're looking for an old school iconic NYC establishment to try this is a good choice as they have been open since 1908 and their space looks very historic and old school. They have a weird policy where they accept credit cards on weekdays and then on weekends they are cash only so definitely take note of that.

🤢

This is a 3-star review with one star docked because of

2/5 by David P. on 02/18/2023

This is a 3-star review with one star docked because of price/value. I have been going to BGG for decades. At one time the smoked salmon was arguably the best on the UWS. There was a lively debate going on as to which was better - Zabar's or BGG. Unfortunately for both the best smoked salmon is on the UES at Sable's - but that's another review. This restaurant is still heavy on the "old New York" charm but the quality of the food, while good does not justify the price. The smoked salmon is very very good, the blintzes are classic, the egg dishes are hot and come out quickly. The service is friendly. Atmosphere is very very crowded as most tourist destinations become. It was a solid 3 stars but the expense tilted the value away from going again. It's still a decent place to take out-of-town guests without having to go to the lower east side or Russ & Daughters. Real New Yorkers will pickup their own favorites that might include BGG more for nostalgia than epicurean satisfaction.

When we were first greeted by Server 12 we immediately knew

4/5 by Jennifer G. on 02/05/2023

When we were first greeted by Server 12 we immediately knew we would be in for an entertaining time. Service was prompt and thorough, and after being plied with coffee it was finally time to order. Our server did a great job explaining the nuances of the entire school of fish on the menu - turns out sable is similar to a cod, who knew! Other notes: the classic nova bagel was excellent and the nova scramble was a new take (but with a lot of onions). Note- the bagels and bialys come toasted unless you ask otherwise! The outdoor seating, even on a chilly winter day was comfortable, with a robust heating element above. We're adding a additional vote in favor of this UWS staple-- just note: cash only!

🙂

Great quality lox, solid cream cheese, good onion and caper

4/5 by Jack M. on 02/05/2023

Great quality lox, solid cream cheese, good onion and caper ratio. The bagel was good. It wasn't spectacular.Their coffee was fresh and strong, which I prefer.

🤮

I ordered a corned beef on rye.

1/5 by Karen K. on 02/05/2023

I specified lean. It was the most disgusting sandwich I've ever had. Not just fatty; the corned beef was pale pink, almost grayish. As unappetizing to see as it was to taste. I later realized I should've gotten fish as that's their specialty. But I hadn't realized it. $25 sandwich and I ate about 1/4 of it. Note: this was after the burned coffee and the lukewarm chicken soup with hard matzoballs.When they gave me coffee, they originally wanted me to use the open pitcher of creamer that was already sitting on the table from previous customers.

😍

A true, laid-back NY deli serving up some of the best

5/5 by Natalie T. on 02/02/2023

A true, laid-back NY deli serving up some of the best whitefish salad I have ever tasted. Stopped in for a late afternoon lunch to quench my thirst for some traditional Jewish-style noshes. Outstanding pastrami, nova salmon, coleslaw, matzoh ball soup, and schmear. Make sure you get a cup of coffee to complete the meal. Disregard the other comments about the service-I'm confused why people are expecting to be doted on at a deli restaurant? If you're looking to get your hand held throughout the entire meal, you don't deserve the authentic NY Jewish deli experience. These establishments are supposed to have an attitude-its New York, stop your kvetching already!

😍

Barney Greengrass has a reputation for impatient wait staff

5/5 by Brandon B. on 01/31/2023

Barney Greengrass has a reputation for impatient wait staff and amazing smoked fish. The latter is definitely true, but the former is a myth. Our waiter was a great guy, and everything that we ordered was fantastic. The whitefish salad is the best I've ever tasted, and the latkes were better than my grandma's (luckily, she isn't on Yelp). I wasn't able to get a photo of the black-and-white cookie (I scarfed it down too quickly), but it's definitely one of the best in the city. Barney Greengrass is 100% worth the 30-45 minute wait. Highly recommend!

🙂

Great food with nostalgic feeling.

4/5 by ldjs on 12/11/2022

This is an old deli with traditional Jewish deli menu and excellent selection of smoked fish. Sandwiches are great, especially hot pastrami, even matzo ball soup is flavorful and has proper thin noodles. We had smoked trout, excellent flavor and serving is a full fish. Pickles are wonderful, even full sour have great crunch. Will be coming back for sturgeon and sable. The place is old, crumped with waiters in white uniforms, seems like will fall apart any minute, but yet does not, and there is definitely charm in it. No credit cards, pay to the guy at the counter. There is an equally crumped storefront with all the delicacies in very narrow quarters. Real New York Jewish deli experience, especially if you into smoked fish or good pastrami and pickles.

😍

Excellent place for a breakfast.

5/5 by SophieOnyn on 12/08/2022

Their salmon and pastrami are delicious. Bagels in many different flavours. Coffee unlimited. The place to be for an excellent breakfast.

🤮

Not bang for the bucks

1/5 by Michael R on 11/06/2022

48 usd for a simple breakfast. And did not taste well. The waiter was not nice. I feel cheated. Will not come back 🤮

😍

Great food and experience

5/5 by NICHOLAS T on 09/24/2022

This deli is slightly off the tourist trail, but not too far from Central Park and worth a detour. The speciality dishes are centred around fish and we had pastrami salmon with scrambled eggs and a salmon and cream cheese bagel. The food was great and the atmosphere and set up of the deli old school. There is seating inside and outside.

😒

First time here. I won't be back.

3/5 by Margie C on 09/07/2022

I usually shop for lox and sable at Zabar's but thought I'd try Barney Greengrass out. The sable was good. The pickled lox was a real rip-off! Zabar's charges by the pound and weighs the chunk of salmon only. And the creamed onions are a separate package and included in the price. Greengrass however, has the pickled salmon already combined in a jar which means you're paying the high price for onions and not just the salmon. The bagels were very good I bought there. But I will not buy from this place again. Sorry, but facts are facts. At $46/pound, I don't expect to pay that for cream sauce or onions!

😒

A slapdash deli where the meal was not memorable

3/5 by l0ul0u29494 on 06/26/2022

Barney Greengrass is a true Jewish deli where you can get just about any kind of smoked fish you can imagine. But it is tired and I'm guessing not too clean. The service was a bit of a performance but that doesn't mean it was good or enjoyable. We were frankly a bit disappointed -- the food itself was MEH.

🙂

Good breakfast option

4/5 by SHFT54 on 05/21/2022

Sturgeon king? Oh yeah, the sturgeon is great. We took a ride to the upper west side, skipping our normal stop Russ and Daughters, to dine here specifically for their smoked sturgeon and nova onion scrambled eggs. The sturgeon was fantastic and a lighter option to lox or Nova. The nova scrambled eggs were surprisingly light with delicate flavors, the onions made the dish, and the nova got a bit lost in my mind. The true highlight was the chopped liver we picked up to go. Life altering, though I'll admit I don't have much experience with the dish. I'm not a fan of liver, but their chopped liver was absolutely sublime. No hint of organ flavor or graininess. New Orleans murals around the dining room are old school and service is beyond friendly. I was a tourist, but they treated us like regulars....and the other guests seemed to all be regulars.

😍

No need to eat again that day!

5/5 by RoriESQ on 05/17/2022

This is a NY institution and everything an appetizing joint was back in the day and should be today. I keep returning to refine the perfect order and still want to order the entire menu. Must try the latkes and every fish available on the side. The eggs and onions are sweet and delicious. The meat eaters swear by the chopped liver. Get in line, meet your fellow neighbor or visitor and have enough time to walk it off!

It works!

🙂 4/5 Review by ChattyPeace47 (09/04/2022 2:30 pm)

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer 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.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer 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.
