NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 42nd Street – Port Authority Bus Terminal Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The burgers were incredibly delicious. The shakes are a MUST TRY! We tried chocolate as well as cookies and cream shake –pure bliss! Thick and yummy! The only downside was the wait for seating. Service was quick and efficient. The food was definitely worth the wait. Overall, highly recommend this spot for a tasty, satisfying meal!

Shake Shack in the Theater District is a lively and popular spot, especially during peak hours. The place was super busy when we visited, and it took about half an hour to find a seat. Despite the wait, the experience was worth it. The burger quality was excellent — juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The staff was friendly and efficient, managing the rush with a positive attitude. The ambiance was energetic and dynamic, fitting for its location near Broadway. While it’s not the best spot for a quiet meal, it’s perfect if you’re looking for a classic burger experience in a fun, bustling setting. Just be prepared to wait during busy times!

If we compare Shake Shack to the fast food burger chains like McD or BK this is my favourite. I got recommended on try it and last time I was in the city I could not. It was nice, fast and good.

I yesterday had the pleasure of dining at shake shack and it was a delightful experience. Aside from the perfectly cooked shroom burger and the cheese fries, the cashier was very friendly. This restaurant is kind of the one that makes you feel comforted and happy. It was super nice to have a delicious burger in a cold windy night.

I needed a quick bite after the theater as there was no time for dinner before. The black truffle burger was the best I have had including those at 4 times the price in a fancy restaurant. Jesus who took the order was efficient welcoming and kind. Much more than I expected

The food was beyond delicious it exceeded my expectation. Great choice to celebrate my birthday there at Carmine's. The customer service was outstanding and excellent. The ambiance was very family friendly. I want to thank them for shipping me back my bag with my wallet inside to my hometown after leaving it there at the restaurant. While I was there celebrating my birthday, the food I got to try was the Penne Alla Vodka, Chicken Parmigiana, and the Garlic Cheese bread. It was finger licking good, I will sure be coming again.

True Family style Italian. We had a group of ten and highly recommend a reservation this place had a line out the door. We celebrated a birthday and loved the singing. We highly recommend this establishment if you’re in the neighborhood for a show. Great wine selection, great advice from the servers. Absolutely a slam dunk if you loves the noodles :)

I was very curious to try out traditional New York restaurants and ended up being very disappointed. The place is very well located near Times Square. The atmosphere is very cool and well organized, but the food is not all that they say. Don't get me wrong, the food is not bad, but from what you say, I expected something much better. It came well served with a good portion, difficult to eat alone, but for the price I expected something much better.

A friend recommended this place to us while we were in town visiting. It did not disappoint. When she said family style I was not prepared for it. The plates you get are shareable. When you sit down they bring you a huge basket of assorted breads. All are delicious. I personally liked the one with onions on top. For the appetizer we had stuffed clams. These were cooked so good with just the right amount of crisp. We decided on manicotti with marinara, and ravioli with meat sauce for our main. Both were mouth watering. We had so much leftover we had it for lunch the last two days. We did cheese cake for desert. The bottom was some sort of chocolate pie crust & the light fluffy cheesecake with a torched top. This is also enough for the entire table and leftovers. To drink we did red wine, a frozen berry drink, and the expresso martini. All were made to perfection, but that expresso martini was the best I’ve had anywhere. The service here is outstanding. Kat was our server. She was very kind & knowledgeable. Overall the wait was 30 minutes on a Thursday around 7. They have a place to store strollers & coats. If you’re looking for nice, delicious, and affordable dinning in the city I highly recommend visiting.

What a wonderful and special restaurant. The atmosphere was loud and fun, you truly felt like you were at an Italian family home on a Sunday. The food was so good! Huge serving! Drinks were so good! This place ran so smoothly. Staff was attentive, kind and so helpful. Will definitely come back next time we visit NYC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Seafood and Atmosphere! My friend and I visited the Red Lobster at Times Square while on a trip from Montreal, and it was amazing! The location is perfect, right in the heart of NYC, which gave us an exciting vibe as soon as we walked in. The seafood was fresh and delicious—especially the lobster and shrimp dishes! Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits were a highlight, and we kept asking for more. It was a fun and memorable experience, and we both felt it was the perfect spot for a seafood feast while exploring the city. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Times Square who wants great seafood and a lively atmosphere

I’d been to Red Lobster many times in Florida, Colorado, and recently at Time Square, NYC. Everything here was yummy as always. My favorites are the bacon wrapped sea scallops and of course “the garlic butter lobster”. Will visit again whenever I crave for good seafood.
Amy A - 2 weeks ago

The food is really really good. The lobster linguini is also so delicious but costs 30$. The service was also somewhat questionable, since there were 3 floors in this restaurant, our waters did not get refilled once. Most likely have to request for refill. they did give free scones at the start of the meal though, and we were seated as soon as we got there which was very helpful.
Mavin Shavin - a month ago

We experienced a great meal with tasty lobster with nice staff. No rush with a bill on the table directly after you swallowed your last bite of food. Food was great and the drinks were very nice. My hands were very sticky so I asked if I could use the shower to clean myself, staff have never heard this before and laughed out loud. I can recommend this restaurant if you visit New York!
Mr. RROBB - 5 months ago

This is a really big location with an elevator and stairs to the second floor dining area. Ate here while visiting NYC. Server was pretty goood and food was decent. Manager was very friendly and even gave our table a complimentary dessert. The restaurant was clean as well.

I visited this Dave & Buster’s on a Saturday evening, knowing it’s one of the busier locations. While I expected a chaotic experience, it wasn’t as overwhelming as I had feared. Pros: • Fun Experience: Despite some minor issues, we had a great time, and the child especially enjoyed it, which made the visit worthwhile. • Friendly Staff: The employees were professional and polite, contributing to a positive atmosphere. • Winning Moment: I managed to hit the jackpot on one of the games, which definitely helped lift my mood. Cons: • Uncomfortable Heat: The arcade was extremely warm, so if you’re visiting in the winter, bring a bag to store your jacket. A small portable fan might also be helpful. • Broken Games: One of my favorite games was perpetually out of order (see pictures), which was disappointing. • Bag Management: If you’re planning to go shopping beforehand, either visit Dave & Buster’s first or have someone watch over your bags—otherwise, it can be a hassle. Final Thoughts Overall, we had a good time despite the minor inconveniences. With a little preparation—bringing a fan and a bag for jackets—you can make the experience more comfortable. Would I return? Yes, but I’d be better prepared next time.

Our program had a fantastic time at Dave & Busters in Times Square! The place was clean and inviting, and the staff, especially manager Payton, were incredibly friendly and helpful. Payton went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and his enthusiasm for the games was contagious. The game selection is vast, offering something for everyone. We spent hours exploring the different arcades, racing cars, playing virtual reality games, and enjoying the delicious food. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a night out with friends or family. Overall, we highly recommend Dave & Busters in Times Square. It's a great place to have fun, create memories, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Rating: 5 stars

The waiters were very friendly and quick. The food tasted very good. The restaurant is not suitable for a cozy meal. The volume is really very loud. If you want to have fun playing with your friends, you've come to the right place. There is a large selection of slot machines.

So. I wnet there yesterday it was. A Saturday, so of course, a little busy and crowded. Started with some lunch at the restaurant. I added the pic of my sons plate. I had the same. Chicken was juicy fries chips perfectly an 8 out of 10. The waiter was so freaking nice. So at the end we went over the bill and I asked how do you want your tip cash or they give it to you if we use a card? He siad it's included and I sister even see that must have read it fast but some waiters may not tell you that so pay attention to your bill gratuity is included and they took like almost 24 dollars on my like 50 or 60 dollar order it's fine he was really nice. The place had some broken games that needed to be fixed, but most worked no long waits for games, but they should definitely be cleaning them more. I would love to know their cleaning process 😩 But we had hand sanitizer and wipes. Overall, 8 out of 10 reccomend
Jenny P - 3 weeks ago

Food was the typical bar food-fare. Comparable to BWW and Chili's nothing special. Interesting mocktails. Good specials that come with a game card. Only thing about this location is that the game room isn't very big, and a lots of the games you might expect at any D&B or even traditional ones you are looking for are missing.

Legendary & Iconic restaurant! We ate here this summer with my family, and as usual Hard Rock Cafe did not disappoint! The food was excellent even the stable dishes you come for, like Caesar Salad & NY steak. We also enjoyed buying souvenirs in the boutique which is a large boutique (obviously) in New York. Last but not least this HRC is full of very interesting memorabilia so really nice to walk around. A definite recommended restaurant from us!

Right off Times Square - just take the stairs down - It was a bit a mayhem waiting in line to put a reservation in, but we found a table to sit at to wait. Took about 30 minutes to get seated. The restaurant is massive. Melanie was our server and she was very nice and helpful. I had the BBQ BC Burger, my wife had the Messi Chicken Sandwich, my son had the Big Cheese Burger and my daughter had the Kid Chicken Tenders. Everything was very good and we were happy with our meal. Melanie our server did an excellent job and was very attentive, giving us accurate ticket times. For a tourist trap we were impressed.

Great enjoyable experience, staff were wonderful. As a New Yorker myself, I brought my foreign friends from China for the first time and they had a blast . Food was great. Definitely the type of American cuisine + a bit fast food feels. Service was fantastic. Thank you Amber for the evening. Shout out to her and her colleagues.

Awesome place; but they are so used To have many visitors that they don’t bother to please the clients. I had a bad experience with the manager REX; I made my reservation to enjoy the time at the restaurant; we had a good meal but When I was starting to drink my last beer; The manager called us to leave the table As they had another reservation; come on; we were finishing and I was not the entire night at the table; not more than 1.5hours (maybe less; I’m being conservative here). Note: the bill was more than $250 dollars. In resume; they have so many tourists at the restaurant that they don’t care to treat You well. The place is amazing; but I will never return due to the bad service; I don’t wanna be in a place they don’t care for the client.

We booked for Thanksgiving dinner, not wanting to struggle to find a table. It was really busy, but we were seated prior to our reservation time. They had a Thanksgiving menu along with the normal menu. It was a little expensive for what we got. The food was beautiful and traditional as we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia. we appreciated the meal. We shared the pumpkin pie, and it was good. Haven't tried this before. The pastry was perfect, and the filling smooth and overly sweet

Love the food, very healthy options. The reason why it only gets 4 stars is because there is a short Asian man with glasses that had an attitude and started raising his voice all because I asked him to repeat himself cuz he was speaking too low. I asked someone else to prepare my plate and they were much more pleasant. I would highly advise for them to get rid of that short guy, then they will get 5 stars!

There are seats in the back to dine in! This was the best find ! Lunch was quick, delicious and I had so many options! The Faken Bacon BLT I had in a whole-wheat wrap was delicious. The employee who greeted me was friendly and pleasant. I’ll be back! Thank you for a fabulous meal and wonderful experience.

I took a quick stop at this place for a healthy breakfast to start the day. I had their Tofu and Avocado Wrap and it was so good. I love the inside of their place as well. Highly recommend because they offer Vegan and Gluten Free Options.

What a wonderful healthy oasis in the theater district. Because of various health issues I am limited to what I can eat and this place had excellent whole grain choices for me. There are dishes for people with all kinds of allergies or intolerances, freshly cooked and prepared. The guys working there are super friendly and helpful. All in all a two thumbs up if you're looking for fresh, healthy dishes, warm, cold or even ice cream. Lots of snacks and drinks as well. Seating is limited but there is usually a place to find. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Green Symphony saved the day with deliciously healthy food while visiting Manhattan for the weekend. The food was excellently prepared, giving me gourmet taste on a budget. Customer Service was above and beyond that I don't find everyday in establishments. What a breath of fresh air!

Wonderful jazz club. It's a fantastic experience. They provide an amazing time and the food is great as well. We heard wonderful music and just had so much fun. Love going there. We've been several times and hope to see more great sets in the future. It's a great New York City institution.

Not my usual scene but was a surprisingly good night out. The place was packed and I would recommend picking up tickets in advance as there was a few folks who came hoping to get tickets at the door but couldn't. Service was fast and friendly and the food was better than we expected. I had the steak and my wife had the Mac and cheese both of which were cooked to order and tasted pretty good. Dessert was also good, mixed sorbet and the creole bread pudding. Music was cool with a good vibe throughout the set. I would definitely recommend if you want to do something a bit different.

Birdland is a fantastic jazz club in Manhattan! I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance, as it’s a popular spot and often sells out. I went without a reservation and had to wait about an hour to see if there were any cancellations. Luckily, I got a ticket, and it was absolutely worth the wait. The music featured a mix of performers—some stood out more than others—but the overall experience was incredibly satisfying. Definitely a must-visit for jazz lovers!
Sahand Farhadi - a month ago

The show was phenomenal. Let me say that up front. It was fantastic live music. Someone had mentioned the $20 per set per person being a little frustrating and I agree. If you are buying a ticket for the show and it is a late one, you may not want to be eating and drinking. We ended up getting some drinks and food out of obligation. They were ok. If I have to spend a little more money on the ticket to not have to buy food and drinks while I'm there, I'd rather do that. In any case, I know when I come again (because the food/drink minimum will not deter me from coming again), I'll stick to chips and guac and some drinks.

Went on a Saturday night, January 11th. Had tickets to the early seating, so doors opened at 4:30. Got in relatively quickly and were served quite promptly. Our seats were second row, smack dab in the middle of the room. And, the room did fill out. Not sure there were any seats left. The big band we'd come to see was excellent (Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band). Food was good and well priced. Drinks were delicious. We'll be back!

This place was highly recommended so we decided to give it a try during our trip to NYC. The atmosphere was very upbeat! It was a nice crowd of people there but the service was amazing. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious!! We tried the sticky wings and ribs! The portion size was just right, we actually had leftovers. Totally worth the experience!!
Tamika E Smith - 2 months ago

Very impressed by this restaurant! The restaurant is huge and a very sociable place. I love the layout because the dining area is huge and you feel like you’re on the streets but you are really not. Server was on point and food arrived fast and hot. I had the sweet and sticky wings which were HUGE. If you try these, one order is enough for two. The wings were soaked in a wonderful sweet mustard sauce. I also had the Mac and cheese which was excellent. It was piping hot and made with real cheese. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

This place was great. The food was good and the service was great. We were seated very quickly and the food came out fast. The ribs and chicken was very tasty and they even gave us a free dessert. We didn’t have to have a reservation. I would go back and would recommend this place to others.

First time visitor and I couldn’t wait to share my experience! Our waiter was amazing, showed us excellent hospitality, very friendly and on it! Did have to ask for anything, he knew what we needed without asking.What’s interesting is he lived in Delaware for 2years. That’s were we came from to visit. He truly knows how to serve the people, thank you 😊! Now let’s get to the food ,omg! Banging! Wings five stars for sure 👍 drinks 🍷 so good! 😊 I couldn’t eat anything else after eating the wings , they’re re huge! Great place to celebrate a birthday and that’s what we did!

Great experience and fast service. Took my boy out for his birthday and enjoyed myself. The drinks were great and the tacos delicious. I surprisingly won the game and I’m terrible at bowling. This place is great for family during the day and for friends at night. Overall great place. It also has a nice arcade as well
Jamal Smith - 2 weeks ago

Bowling in the heart of Times Square. I believe the place is a fairly new location. The staff was nice and the place was clean, we ordered nachos and beer and the size was very large. Nothing stands out, but the place is more than adequate if you are in the mood to bowl near Times Square.

Beautiful bowling alley and very nice lighting for a good bowling game. I’ve been to other Bowlero locations but nothing compares to this one. The whole place is huge and very spacious so you’re not crammed and have a lot of personal space to your lane. Everything was clean and easy to access, all in all, everyone had a great time altogether for my friends birthday. Will be back!

Had such a great time here!!! Came in with a large party of at least 10 people with a reservation. Jordan was super attentive to our party, never missed a drink, our food came out timely and delicious, and he even let us finish out our games at the end of the night! Would absolutely love to come again and if we do I hope we get Jordan helping us!! Thank you for a great night 💙💙💙

Quite expensive but insanely good. Service was alright, sometimes took a bit too long for my taste. Also, lots of people so it's very loud. The food was amazing, a good portion but not huge. The quality was perfect. The general feel of the restaurant is great if you like the film but I'm not the biggest fan so it didn't really leave a big impression on me. Still, I appreciated the decor and how well everything was on theme. All in all, definitely worth a visit if you like the film, still pretty good if you don't.

First official day in New York and we got to go inside this restaurant. Personally, I never watched the movie but the atmosphere was just like a 19s seaside restaurant! Tye crab rolls were the best for me but the shrimp was really flavourful, and the sauce was excellent too. The waiters even pointed out on the best dishes that hey recommended us to try, everyone should give this place a shot

We were willing to go to a restaurant or hotel to see the ball dropping in Time Square on New Year's Eve, and after touring all of the major attractions, we decided on Bubba Gump, and it was the best decision we ever made! The food was great, there was a DJ, photo events, makeup, great drinks and even free makeup, the atmosphere was great! What was the best part was that you could go in and out out and the ball would be just in front of you, unlike other places where you would have to stay indoors or pay additional for terrace view. We talked to other guests who said that they had come every New Year's eve, for several years! I would recommend hands down, and the restaurant even gave souvenirs and snacks after the event, and opened earlier and closed later than other parties. You can see the ball drop, feel the confetti, stay in the restaurant until the streets are cleaned, and go home comfortably. I couldn't upload the NYE ball dropping video because it was several minutes long! Best time I had! All the staff were so friendly and professional as well! :D

This place is the most delicious 😋 😍 I definitely wish we had one in AZ . The steaks are always on point!!! Super nice n brown on the outside and extremely juicy on the inside 😋 The calamarie appetizers are also my favorite.
Hortencia Alvarez - a month ago

Came here on. A Sunday evening. It was not crowded and was seated quickly. The appetizers range from 12-17 dollars with shrimp entree priced around 24-30$$. Te space is nice with windows all around so you can see Times Square with all the lights the can chowder is ok and the fried shrimp pretty good. The food took a while to come.
