The Crooked Knife

My favorite restaurant in town. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the drinks are great, and everything is reasonably priced. The burgers are my favorite, and the nachos are the best snack if you're here with others. Couldn't recommend more!

The service is always very pleasant and polite, which is the most important thing for a pleasant experience!

Absolutely perfect brunch spot. Great food. Perfect simple Bloody Mary’s. No extra malarkey added in. Just delish. Want a quiet brunch for a chat or family time? Come at 11 when they open. Around 1 you’ll start to see the bottomless brunch crowd roll in. Nothing wrong with it at all! Just choose your vibe! Food was truly delicious ( and always is at dinner too). You can’t go wrong. Casual. Familiar. Friendly. We love Crooked Knife and are proud to call it our regular spot!

Casual spot with better-than-you’d expect food

Just visiting & was questioning where I should go to brunch w/ my girlfriend. We settled coming here & it was awesome! Super chill brunch vibe & The bartender Lynn was cool as hell. Great mimosa & food deal. Ask them for a brunch box!!!

Bottomless brunch 7 days a week? Its a no brainer. The drinks are strong. The decor is....different but I do enjoy the flowers on the table. The food was pretty good (sorry, was ravenous and did not take a pic) and I was over the moon with the drinks. They were strong and flowing. I will definitely come back when I visit home again.

My friends and I went after a movie and had vodka sodas. We only planned to have one, but they were so good we ended up having four each. Hands down the swellest vodka soda in NYC.

Was down at the hospital and looked for a place for lunch. This place did not disappoint with its food and beverages.

Was down at the hospital and looked for a place for lunch. This place did not disappoint with its food and beverages.

This place was… an experience. We walked in around 4 PM to an empty bar. Greeted (barely) by a tall, gray-haired bartender who looked like he’d already mentally clocked out. We ordered beers, and he poured them like it was his first day — foam overflow, beer dripping down the sides, puddles on the bar. He saw the mess. Walked away. No towel. No wipe. No shame. Luckily, two younger bartenders — a guy and a girl — showed up 20 minutes later and actually gave a damn. They were fast, friendly, and handled the growing crowd like pros. Suddenly the place had a vibe. And then… the shuffleboard squad rolled in. Within an hour, the place transformed into what felt like the afterparty of a 1960s high school reunion. We were asked — multiple times — to scoot down, adjust, make room, shift over. Like, every five minutes another cardigan-wearing member of the AARP Avengers needed a seat at the bar. We were practically playing musical chairs with strangers in orthopedic shoes. At one point, it felt like we were guests at someone else’s family gathering. No “Hey, sorry,” no friendly banter — just a silent assumption we’d make space. And we did… until it got old. We were planning to stay the night, but the message was clear: this bar already has its people — and we weren’t on the guest list. Shame, really. The place itself wasn’t bad. But if you’re under 60 and unfamiliar, don’t expect a warm welcome. Just bring some Bengay and a folding chair — you’ll need both.

I had chicken tenders, they were so good. The gentleman who brought me my food looked annoyed when I asked for ketchup. The waitress wasn’t very attentive. Perhaps because there were a lot of people at the bar. She served me one drink and never came back. I would have had a few more drinks but I didn’t like the fact that she didn’t check on me.

Really kind staff - fun, social, and extremely accommodating. Excellent bar and beer selection. Breakfast was good. I thought that the bacon was a bit thin/dry (would have loved to see them thick and juicier) and that the toast was just one slice of toast. Would have been great to have 2 slices, some butter (didn't include butter), and an option of white or wheat. Sausages were a bit spicy and crunchy, and the eggs were cooked well. Their cocktails are delicious, so definitely worth coming here for the bar/drinks/beer selection. With slight tweaks to the breakfast, this would be an excellent brunch spot. Will come again.

Upon entering Friday night there was one spot at the bar, luckily. This seems popular. As a frugal guy, I asked the waitress what prices were for a shot. $8. I almost threw up - but they agreed to cut me a break if I tipped well. Fortunately, I always tip well. After a great pour of Guinness and a couple shots, I was cheers-ing the whole bar. I would’ve tried the food, but I’m more a Sandor Clegane “I’ll take a roast chicken” vibes. No roast chicken here, only fried. Bottom line: good place to stop for a drink. Making my way to the next bar.

I had the chicken pot pie and i was disappointed. While the crust and gravy were tasty the chicken was bland. I also personally did not like that the pieces of chicken were cut uneven to where there were big chunks and then small ones. Really should shred the chicken instead and season it as well. The burger was cooked well and juicy and the avocado BLT was also good. The french fries weren’t the best.

We came for bottomless brunch and were asked for IDs in a very rude tone (we are 23 and 25 but look young), he took 10 minutes scanning our IDs in a machine that didn't work and came back to tell us that we look very young and he can't accept our genuine New York State IDs... he didn't believe I was 25 until I showed him my graduate school ID. Very rude about it. Food was good and bottomless was good but don't understand why this dude was so rude

I still don’t know what just happened to me, he said I didn’t pay for my bill before and kick me out… I was shocked but I still checked my transactions from last year and am 100% sure he was talking about another person (if there really is someone) I remember the food was great but I’m just really upset. It’s either he believes all the Asians look the same or he just hate seeing any. I passed their door almost everyday but I’ll never visit again.

Bartenders gave my credit card to another patron and charged their full tab to my credit card. After being told that I need to cancel my credit card and wait a few days for the significant payment they erroneously charged to my card to void, I was given a second bill. But don’t worry. Two drinks removed. For any newcomers, don’t trust them with your tab. Great experience otherwise.

This used to be a place we would go regularly. We recently went for my friends birthday and the owner was so rude. The second we walked in he came up to us in a very rude tone saying he’s not doing bottomless brunch for us, meanwhile we’re all 21-22 and had our IDs. He had a very dismissive tone even after we tried showing us our IDs. Very poor service and it’s disappointing seeing as this was a regular spot for us.

Nasty man in there. Terrible person me and my friends are 23 we showed him ids he said we looked too young and refused to serve us even after showing our graduate ids as well. Very disrespectful thinks he is above everyone.
