Let me tell you about KEENS STEAKHOUSE! ย ย If I could
Let me tell you about KEENS STEAKHOUSE! If I could give them 10 stars - i would! I live a couple of blocks from Keens and have been going there for decades! When i want an incredible dining experience and perhaps the best steak in New York City - i go to Keens! The management and staff there are beyond exceptional! They always have been! Many have been there for many, many years which speaks volumes! They treat their customers like family - and with respect! I walk into Keens and I feel as if i am home! .....BUT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING YET! My last experience with Keens was beyond exceptional. .....I am visually impaired. I have macular degeneration. About a month ago, I dined there with a friend who wanted Dover Sole (which they thought was the best they ever had.) I was seated at my favorite table which is a booth - but because of my vision issues, I could not really see my incredible steak - so i took it home. ....... BUT this past Sunday, I went back with a friend for dinner. When I made the reservation - i spoke with Bonnie, the Manager, and explained that I have macular degeneration and the trouble I had the last time i was there - which was no fault of theirs! .......BONNIE was so empathetic and kind - and immediately told me that she was going to do some testing with the light bulbs at "my table" in the Grill Room, but also in The Pub to see which would be better for my vision issues. She said she needed a couple of days to test it out and would call me back with her recommendation as to where it would be best for me to sit! ......2 DAYS later - Bonnie called me and told me what they went through to try to accommodate my vision issues by testing different light bulbs in different rooms and asking everyone's opinion as to what would be the best place for me to enjoy my meal. INCREDIBLE! .....THE DAYS I ARRIVED - everyone working there was so happy to see me and usher me to my new spot where I could really see the table and the incredible food that was put in front of me! .....JANE - another manager came over to the table shortly after we were seated to see how it was for me - to make sure I was comfortable! .....WHAT INCREDIBLE SERVICE AND KINDNESS from one of the most famous restaurants in New York City! How do I thank them!? There are not enough words to show my appreciation! Perhaps some other establishment, might have said to me..."so sorry for your inconvenience." Period. Paragraph!But NOT KEENS! The entire management and staff at Keens was engaged in helping me to be able to continue to dine in my most favorite restaurant as I have for 40 years! THANK YOU BONNIE! THANK YOU JANE! Thank you to our very gracious server! Thank you to the chef for an incredible meal - time and time again! Thank you to the entire staff and management of KEENS STEAKHOUSE FOR BEING SUCH A FRIEND TO AN ADMIRING NEIGHBOR! THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND HUMANITY! I AM SO APRECIATIVE!

I am so amazed at the amazing experience and service I encountered while in New York. Their customer service is perfection! Out waiters were outstanding! The food was delicious and what I have to really mention here and highly recommend is the amazing thick bacon appetizer and the pickles! Never tasted anything so delicious! Definitely a place to visit every time when in NYC! This place has very interesting history that I cant wait to go back!

Atmospheric, excellent food, wonderful waiter
Keens very much trades on its reputation - and why not? We had a week in New York with friends and, ahead of our visit, Keens was recommended by a colleague who's married to a New Yorker.
We managed to get a lunch booking and arrived a little early, but were accommodated. Our waiter, Mohammed, was superb: knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The wine was good, too. Perhaps a little pricey, but certainly worth enjoying once for the experience.

Always a great experience.
The mutton is a must try... get the taste of mutton if you don't want to have a huge plate of it but would highly recommend. Also their old fashioneds are bomb.

The place does have amazing steaks and is famous for their mutton chop. On the other hand its more for older crowd. They don't sing happy Birthday. Their bathrooms are so tiny. It feels a bit uptight in there and the place is not very instagram-able. You get looks if you try to do photo opp.

Keens is a must experience. From the ceilings covered with clay churchwarden pipes, the the dark wood and the comfortable, intimate ambience, Keens stands out as a throwback to an earlier, more stately era in dining. The restaurant specializes in mutton, steak and other meats, though there are other choices on the menu. We started with a plate of fresh oysters, then lobster bisque, I had filet and companion had the lobster and filet. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the cook was as ordered. The lobster was cooked just right. the wait staff was attentive and friendly. This is a wonderful restaurant that takes you back to earlier times.

Massively disappointed
Medium rare mutton and prime rib, more like rare rare rare! Seemed keen to get us out of the restaurant, just didnโt see the hype as meat was cold and way undercooked. Try Gallaghers or Peter Lugers maybe
ENTRANCE - very friendly host and seated right awaySERVICE - exceptional and Mohammed was the absolute best. MENU - typical NYC steak house but there could be more options. ENTREES - we all got the prime rib which was very good and a very big portion. However the cuts were a bit fatty for the hefty priceSIDES - were super excellent. Creamed spinach , mushrooms, and the potatoes were super goodVINO - a lengthy list with excellent choices if your willing to pay $500+PRICE - I was treated but the bill was Hefty for sure. DESSERT - we were so full we passed

Visited Keens for the second time since 2017 and it did not disappoint. The first time I visited I had the prime rib and it was delicious but too much for a single person to finish. This time around I wanted to try a non-steak item and went for the authentic dover sole and I'm so glad I did. I rarely order fish at steakhouses but I feel like I uncovered an amazing gem of a dish here. Keens prepares the dover sole really well where it's moist and well seasoned that you don't even need the sauce in the gravy boat that it comes with. It's light yet so flavorful that I actually want to go back just to eat it again. They also debone the fish table side so that was cool. I also ordered a side of fries and creamed spinach and they were all delicious as well. Overall, don't sleep on the dover sole. It's totally worth getting!

Absolutely wonderful place, unexpected problems with the steaks this time
Just a forethought: You may want to make sure to make reservations a few weeks prior to your dinner date as they book up quickly. The bar area is always a great alternative, though.
Having eaten at this restaurant many times, we were expecting the usual high quality food experience. For the most part, this was correct with a few glaring exceptions. We dined in for dinner and also placed an order afterwards for takeout. The service was excellent, as is the setting. The appetizers, desserts, drinks, and vegetables were all spot on. The steaks, however, were completely wrong, both for dine-in and takeout. For the dine-in portion, each of us was given the correct steak but the other's temperature. We did not say anything and finished our meal. We placed the takeout order and brought it home; three identical steaks, ordered rare. When we got home, we saw the outside of the steaks were charred but the inside was completely raw. A cow with a sunburn would have been more well done than these steaks. People who eat their steak black and blue would have turned it away, horrified. We have never seen anything like it. The steaks had to be scraped, sliced, and put into a pan to cook to a rare temperature so it could be eaten. This is the first disappointing meal we have had here.
By the way, if you enjoy it or are interested in trying it, their Steak Tartare is absolutely phenomenal.

Came here for my bday dinner recently.
It was a lovely experience. Service was attentive and well timed. We ordered oysters, porterhouse for 2, sautรฉed spinach, French fries, and the coffee cantana. Although cooked excellently, our steak was good but not great. I think we just got a wonky piece. The stand out of the meal was honestly the dessert - I haven't stopped thinking about it so please save room. I'm one of those people that order a salad with every meal no matter what and I didn't feel the need to bc of the veggies and dip you're given to start your meal - so although I'd have loved to try one I didn't feel it necessary. The atmosphere is super romantic and old school nyc. It lives up to the hype and is worth the trek to midtown. This is a great place for a date or to bring people from out of town. Reservations can be a little hard to get so plan ahead. Would happily return.
We went to Keens because they offered Chateaubriand on the menu; and that was what we had eaten on our anniversary 32 years earlier. The meat was so tender that though we were stuffed, we kept eating and eating until we finished every last bite. The mushrooms, sauces, lobster bisque, and cheesecake were also top notch.
๐
Some of the best steak nyc.
And the mutton. Cool historic atmosphere too. Pipes that graced the mouths of fdr etc. great historic place

Keens is a classic steakhouse that's been around for hundreds of years basically. This is a historical landmark. The presidents and celebrities who have smoked pipes at this establishment is remarkable. Must order: mutton chops, bacon for The table, chambored for 2, and the fries. We started off with the bacon (deliciously thick) and shrimp cocktail for the table. Entrees included filler minion (both sizes) the steak for 2, lamb chops, surf and turf, and all the sides. The lamb was cooked to perfection, steaks did not miss, house wine delicious, service impeccable.Aaron was amazing and put up with our large thirsty group all night.

The restaurant has been opened since 1885, it is one of the
The restaurant has been opened since 1885, it is one of the oldest restaurants in NY and the first thing I noticed about the restaurant was their dรฉcor. I love visiting restaurants that take you to a time and place and I felt I was transported to old New York and I was obsessed with the different rooms and different relicts hanging from the wall. Truth be told, I think it is worth visiting for the history alone. I first heard of this restaurant from an old episode of No Reservations, in the episode Bourdain and Josh Ozersky went bonkers over the mutton chop and the King Cut Prime Rib, ever since then I wanted to make a visit.The food:Mutton Chop- This is actually their signature dish and it's absolutely something to order. The mutton was so incredibly tender and a great dish to share with another diner or two. I enjoyed the mutton but I did find a few flaws with the dish, first I am not a salty food person but I felt the mutton was under seasoned, I had to to reach for the table side salt shaker a few times. Second, as much as I appreciated how tender it was, I was sad there wasn't a crust on the mutton for some added texture. I felt the mutton had the same feel of like a prime rib or sous vide, they all had a baked meat feel which I feel is missing something. The homemade mint jelly was actually surprising to me since I wasn't expecting to like it but it was a good mint jelly but a tad too sweet for me. I did appreciate that it was made in house and they used actual mint, I felt using real mint made a big difference. <a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=R7rM7V7RHFAMlKis0N7Jxg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA">yelp.com/user_local_photโฆ</a>Prime Porterhouse- This sucker was huge, it was definitely more steak than the one they serve at Lugers. I thought the steak was good, it was cooked perfectly but this was missing that outer char as well, it was definitely a tender steak but I thought it kinda lacked that nice beefiness you get from dry aged, it almost had like a wet aged feel. I also was a little surprised they didn't cook it in butter or had any butter drippings. <a href="https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rmMvj3XvhqzOkw2zaRHoWw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA">yelp.com/user_local_photโฆ</a>Keen's Creamed Spinach- I thought this was a very good version and I enjoyed how some of the spinach wasn't completely cooked through, it added a nice bite. But I think Lugers still has the best creamed spinach.Mashed Yukon Gold- This was the only thing I wasn't a fan of. The mash seemed very pedestrian, it seemed very cafeteria like quality mash.Key Lime Pie- They make these in house and I thought it was fantastic. I really loved the consistency, the taste and texture. I enjoyed how it wasn't too sweet and I loved the bitterness this dish had to counter the sweetness. I would love to get this again.
Keens is a Herald Square staple. From the decor to the impeccable service (thanks Tristan!) to the amazing food, this is hands down one of our favorite restaurants in the city. Reservations are a must.

Where do I begin?Came to Keens for dinner to celebrate my birthday because it had great reviews and I've never felt so discriminated against during a dining experience. Food was too mediocre to be pretentious. Walked through the door and was not greeted, had to wait a second for a host to even acknowledge us. I stated I had a reservation and felt like either I didn't belong in this restaurant or they gave a strong feeling of "what are you doing here?" I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and didn't think about it much at first. When we were seated and served, we were never given menus when the server was trying to take our orders, it was also not busy during the time because we came before the dinner rush. It felt like our server didn't want to work with us and every time he passed by slowly he would glare at us. The breaking point was seeing him act cordial and friendly to the tables next to us, and at that point we really just wanted to leave. By the end he didn't even ask if we would like dessert but rather "skipping dessert?" I believe we were suppose to be brought out a dessert because it was my birthday but that didn't happen. As we were leaving, no acknowledgement as well when there were about 5-6 staff members by the door. For spending $300 at an establishment, you would expect some level of decency and service but that was not the case here. I've never had such an terrible dining experience before. Really ruined the rest of my night, not returning and not recommending. I felt embarrassed for making a reservation here and subjecting my friends to such treatment since it was my recommendation. Food: Bread rolls: warm rolls, cold butter1/2 dozen oysters: shucked terribly, ripped mantle but still stuck to the shell, looked dry and deflated.Porterhouse for 3: ordered medium rare, strip was pretty rare and the tips were over cooked, probably rushed. A bit under seasoned for us, nothing to rave about, expected more but morale was too lowMarket roasted vegetables: good, liked the onions and carrots the mostDrinks:Pimm's Cup: great cocktail, the only redeeming quality of the night
A friend and I ate here for dinner to start off our holiday. I was disappointed after all the rave reviews I read. The staff was friendly, but their were too many different ones, from the hostess who seated us, the waiter who took our order and brought our wine. the waiter who brought the bread and crudettes the one who brought our entree and the one who brought the check.
We ordered the small filet, which was cooked perfectly, but no where near hot and too salty. The Bernaise was tasty. Of the "roasted" vegetables, the fennel appeared to be the only one that was actually roasted, and it was mostly woody as was the asparagus. The carrots didn't appear or taste roasted, but were good. Alas, these were also lukewarm. Also ordered hash browns. They turned out not to be hash browns at all instead they were mash potato patties that had been fried on both sides, again not even warm enough to melt soft butter on. The field mushrooms were quite good, but they too were not hot. Finally, we ordered New York cheese cake. What a joke! The real thing is baked for hours in a water bath. This was a Graham cracker crusted instant cheesecake just like jello makes.
While I totally enjoyed the atmosphere and history of Keens, the food needed to be at least somewhat hot, even if most of what we ordered had nice flavor. And no one ever came to ask how things were.
Next time I'm in NYC I will try a different steak house, but thanks for the experience

Decided to go yesterday with my hubby for our anniversary. I read a few reviews about service and food. I have to say our server was great. Super friendly. The atmosphere was as expected. Kinda noisy. The place was packed. We had a small table for two in the lower level right by the entrance, which was kind of annoying. Our table was up against french doors which had benches on the other side where people sat to wait etc. It felt like we had uninvited guests at our table. I had looked over the menu numerous times so I knew what i was getting as well as what I was ordering for the hubs.I ordered the mutton chop and he had the t-bone. We also had the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Started with the oysters and crab cakes and also ordered a bottle of wine. Honestly, i was not impressed. The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The mutton chop was good but i wish i would have just ordered the porterhouse for two. I love lamb and i love steak and have been to numerous steak houses. I'm not saying the food was bad by any means but i have had much better steak. Their legendary mutton chop ...wasn't that legendary. . Creamed spinach and mashed was just...ok. My husband satisfied with his t-bone but ate very little because I made him eat most if the mutton. I would go back if I am in the area but I'd go to other steakhouses before considering Keens.

I had cousins from England visiting who are true carnivores- and what I'm NYC has meat and ambiance? Well after pre dinner drinks at the bar, we made our way up to the Moose Room and while the appetizers were mediocre (bacon and some kind of blue cheese thing- definitely wouldn't recommend ) and our waiter slightly off- the steaks and lamb chops slayed. To tell you the truth, the food could be terrible and it's still worth having dinner for the history and ambiance.

I made a reservation at Keens for my husband's birthday and he loved it! I specifically requested to have happy birthday written on his dessert and they did not forget!My husband and I tried their Mulled Wine since it was a cold windy night. The wine was warm, flavorful, and subtly sweet...basically a warm sangria!Their Butter Lettuce House Salad was light and refreshing and better than your traditional Caesar Salad.The Thick Cut Bacon appetizer was huge. You get three pieces and it's definitely enough to share for the table.Their Hash Brown was more of a baked mashed potato. It was good but it wasn't anything special. The Porterhouse for Two was nicely done. We requested it to be cooked Medium and it came out just right. The best part was the Keens' Coffee Cantata! We wanted dessert but didn't want anything too big. The ice cream sundae was generous on the fudge and whipped cream. We ate every last bit of it!

Went here with my Wife on Valentine's Daydecor / vibes / service = 5/5 : the place is so cool and feels really classy . The waiter was amazing, super professional and just accentuated the vibe. We were seated near the bar which I highly recommend because the bartender was so cool , and the old school mahogany wall really went well togetherFood: really disappointed here . appetizers were 5/5 , got the bacon and Cesar salad. however the mutton which I got medium rare was cooked well but honestly was lacking in flavor and bold character . I don't know just not what everyone claims it to be . my wife got the filet mignon medium well but it was a notch above well done and super dry .Wish my mutton chops were amazing so I can give this place a 5/5

Went to Keens for a dinner.
The ambience of the place is amazing. I think that's at least 3 sections each with different decor and set ups and a little different vibe but all unique and interesting. I was in the middle section between the bar and whatever the other section was. It felt cozy and warm and kinda old timey but in a good way. Order the signature lamb and sirloin. Both were made to the right temperature and seasoned very well. Would come back for a drink definitely
๐
Our 1st time trying this restaurant while visiting NYC.
Portions were good but I wasn't impressed w/ the steaks. I think maybe we got full on the yummy bread & vegetables while waiting for our food. We did enjoy that. Our waiter was not as attentive as I asked for ice in my water & never received it til we were leaving. I understand most establishments are short staffed but I shouldn't have to wait til I was leaving for ice.

I wanted to give a better review as this place was and is I guess an institution in NYC steakhouses. I simply can't as the steak itself, the recommended sirloin, left quite a bit to be desired! Dry, lacking flavor it just didn't compare to some of the other top houses in the city. Sorry Keens. Also please if you can taste your house sauce to some others on the market. Needs more bite.
5/5.0Service 3.5/5.0Value 3.0/5.0Decor 3.0/5.0Overall 4.0/5.0Great classic steakhouse. Mutton is definitely worth getting. Beef is obviously good too. Service is old school but pretty attentive. Prices are quite reasonable in the grand scheme of things (brand + surging meat prices). This is the kind of steakhouse that everyone likes but not everyone will love. I'm in between but its NY and we're just spoiled for options.

Best steak I have ever had but the mutton is where itโs at!
The server atmosphere was great, dark wood and dimly lit everywhere with pipes hanging off the ceilings. Felt warm inside on the chilly February night.
Our server was nice. Didnโt spend a ton of time with us but we were a family with two kids and Iโve worked in restaurants so I get it. Want to spend time where the money is. I wasnโt offended in the slightest. But he did check on is us and chat with us so all in all it was a pleasant experience.
But letโs be honest. We were there for the meat. We started with the blue cheese puff. Not our favorite thing ever. The puff was more spongy than I thought it would be, but we ate it all.
The steak was the single greatest steak I have ever had in the form of the t bone. PERFECT medium rare, juicy, flavorful. Great crust on top. And the super big flaky salt that they put on top, Iโm guessing maldon, really enhanced it. Canโt say enough good things about it.
The mutton chop is what dreams are made of. Again, perfectly cooked and seasoned very well. First time having mutton but I would travel back to NYC just to have that.
This spot was everything I was hoping it would be and then some. Top notch!

The best meal we had in NYC

Legendary place, lovely people, experience & food of course!
We left this one as one of our last restaurants in our trip to NY and honestly, couldnโt have chosen a better one.
The place is so beautiful and cosy, staff is very friendly ( I had asked for a table next to the fireplace, but because it wasnโt that cold and they had no fireplace that day, they apologized for that and were delighted to let me chose where I wanted to seat).
Most important, food was great. I am pregnant and asked for well done mutton chops which were delicious and perfectly cooked! And I am mentioning that because we also visit Peter Luger, where my meat was just coal and tasteless! My husband had the steak with lobster tail which was also delicious.
We enjoyed our New Yearโs dinner and had a warm and beautiful time.
Hands down one of the best steakhouses Iโve been to. The mutton was one of the best chops Iโve ever had. The service was excellent. Honestly, there is probably not a single โcould be betterโ pointโฆ perhaps the price, but for the quality of food and service it worth the money. A+
We were advised to visit this restaurant by an NYC resident. We ended up going for lunch but what a great lunch. Honestly the best Cobb salad Iโve ever had. The steak, chicken and shrimp in the salad were all perfectly done and fresh. The dressing complimented the greens and veggies and meat perfectly.
My husband had the steak sandwich, again perfectly done, and fries. It was delicious.
The staff was welcoming and efficient. The atmosphere is an โold tavernโ feel, kind of dark and close but still felt cozy.
And the pipes (smoking kind) lining the ceilings! You have to go to appreciate them
After hearing about Keens for so many years and seeing it on the show billions so many times I just had to check it out on our next visit to New York City. Quite the old-school authentic unique interior with all the wood dining rooms and pipes on the ceiling. No frills kind of place, very low key and high quality. Quick and friendly service. I understand that this is a steakhouse and you have to order everything extra on the side but my fillet mignon came with two sad looking peppers. I think nothing at all would have looked more appealing on the dish. Other than that nothing but good things to say. Would highly recommend it and is definitely up there with the best old school steak houses in the city.
The service and ambience of this restaurant was fantastic, the waiters were very attentive and made us feel right at home. My husband had the t-bone steak which was cooked to perfection however i ordered the chicken which was very disappointing, it was dry and bland. Great if your a steak lover..!

Hyped up this was a great restaurant! Omg how can I be disappointed more than this.
3 steaks ordered, 3 mis-steaks, how can you get 3 wrong?
Waitress was lacking insight. We stated
all were incorrectly cooked as requested. She still said oh! Noted we had left most behind and said โwould you like that to goโ uh Noooo!
โWell are you still having a good timeโ uh no!
So to be fair she gave us a free bit of cheesecake. Did that offset the $450 bill. Uh no!
Top tip for Keens. Employ a chef who can cook steaks!
๐
One if NYCs best steakhouses, and doesn't require cash!
Absolutely amazing dining experience. The steaks are just as good, if not better, than Peter Lugers and you don't have to try to sneak through Brooklyn with a pocket full of cash.
This restaurant exudes class and history. The ambiance is decedent and classic, the staff are extremely polite and attentive, and the food is amazing. Deapite being old, the restaurant is clean and does t feel "dated."
Our meal started with some thick-cut smoked bacon that was phenomenal! After that came steak, which was cooked to perfection and impeccably seasoned. The meal ended with a slice of classic New York Cheesecake. The wine list was extensive and the cocktails equally appetizing.
This was a wonderful place for a birthday and would be great for any special occasion!
