A word from Bobby Van's Grill - 50th Street
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."Continued

  • "This Bobby Van's stand out to me due to due to the great food selection, which is different from the other ones in the area. Bar is light and airy, so you feel welcome."

  • "While the steak was amazing the side dishes were merely co-stars."

  • "We sat at a window seat and there were people using prayer rugs in front of the windows, it was very disturbing. We had to change seats as no one asked them to move."

  • "Enjoyed the great service and window view. Especially enjoyed the variety offered for restaurant week. There were many great choices and a wonderful dessert. Even the coffee was great. Also the bread basket was a plus."

  • "We had dinner at bobby vans pre-theater mid week. I chose the restaurant from OpenTable and it was Restaurant Week. What a find!! Although masculine decor I loved it as did my BF. The food was fantastic -- we both had steak-- cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly and tender. Our waiter was great and quite the deal with restaurant week price fixe!"

  • "The food was spectacular. The ribeye special my husband ordered was huge and was one of the best steak he has had. He talked about it for days. The filet of sole melted in your mouth. The wine by glass a bit pricey however they give you a nice pour. The banana split for 2 was more like for 4. The lobster cooked perfect for the lobster cocktail."

  • "The AC was broken when we dined on 7/12. Not only were we warm, so was the wine. The food was good but hard to enjoy when you are so hot. We spent $400. The least managent could have done was comped our dessert or offered a free ( frozen) drink."

  • "I have become a regular customer for lunch, dinner, and cocktail hour because the food, drink, and service are all consistently terrific. I bring my customers with me to this enjoyable venue often and they then return over and over themselves because of the nice experience they received."

  • "We chose to eat here per a combination of opentable and yelp reviews, as well as a recommendation from the concierge in our hotel. We had a show and this was literally a stone's through from the theater. The food was nice, however, our server was flaky. I had to remind him that I ordered a glass of wine, and later in the meal, my fiance had to remind him that HE ordered a glass of wine. The food was delicious and I assume our experience was more directly related to our specific server than the actual restaurant, but flaky waiters are inexcusable. The restaurant was not busy. The other wait staff was attentive. I would go back for a nice meal, but it is overpriced (delicious) food."

  • "Bobby Van does not disappoint! Steaks are delicious, sides are fantastic, and the waiters are pros, not summer interns from NYU. Excellent wine list with lots of moderately priced values."

  • "I ordered the sirloin cooked medium rare when I received the steak it was medium well at best. This was one of the first times I have ever sent a steak back. After my wife finished her filet of sole which she said was very good until she got a few bones which basically ends the meal for her, it happens. ,The second attempt was maybe medium and ok at best. The best part of the meal was the meal was the service which was excellent."

  • "We booked a 6pm table before our Broadway show. Service was excellent, we were seated quickly and served promptly. Never had any fear if having to rush to the show even though we enjoyed three courses. Delicious steak and seafood, but I'd skip the 21 crepe layer cake if I had to do over. An expensive meal, but to be expected at a NY steakhouse."

  • "We have eaten at 2 of the 3 Bobby Van's Grill in NYC. Food is always great and service very good. I am gluten-free and they are very accommodating. A bit pricey - 2 salads, 2 burgers and a bottle of sparkling water = $125 with tip. Very nice for a special occassion or entertaining clients. The warm spinach salad was out of this world."

  • "So we went to Bobby Van's Grill on 45th Street instead and it was great. The chilean sea bass was delicious and the Espresso Martini awesome. Service from the waitstaff was terrific, especially given the fact that my dinner companion was impossible to please. They remained calm, cool and gracious, which is way more than I would have been."

  • "The food was very good but the wine list is very limited. Need more Pinot Grigio options. The wait staff was actually too attentive. Felt very rushed to put our order in yet there were plenty of empty tables. The waitress seemed annoyed we weren't ready but I think 5 minutes between asking is a bit aggressive."

  • "I am an account executive and I was tasked with finding a nice, quiet restaurant in time square, on a Sunday evening for our out-of- town colleagues. I found Bobby Van's on open Table. Booking was so easy: while I was driving I had my Seven-year-old daughter book the reservation for me directly from my galaxy smart phone!!! My colleagues and I had a most enjoyable experience."

  • "The staff and food were excellent. Sure it's on the higher priced side but it's NYC and you expect it plus if you don't like the prices in the menu you shouldn't go anyway. I never mind paying the price when the food and service is this great. The filets we had were cooked perfectly and I ordered the fried oysters as an apply from the bar menu, they were great. Not a great wine by the glass list but you'll find something good. My wife and I enjoyed it and will definitely go back. "

  • "Our dinner at Bobby Van's was average in every way. The original seat we were given was too loud and next to the door and we asked to be reseated and were very quickly accomodated... That was good. The service and food were just average. We both had petite filet that was close to $50 ala carte and they both had significant grissle on the end piece... Never experienced before. The bread was cold and butter hard, the salad was average, the brussel sprouts were ok but nothing special. The service was inconsistent, there are several people waiting on you and they were not organized. For example, getting asked about coffee and dessert multiple times. So, average food, average service... Many better options in the area, we won't be back."

  • "I would not recommend the rib eye it was full of fat certainly not what we were expecting. The sea bass was very good not great but what really was not up to our standards was the service. The server seemed preoccupied and was not at all helpful. Would not eat here again or recommend to friends staying in the area."

  • "The staff was extremely accommodating. My family and I were on a time crunch to see a play, the hostess and wait staff checked up to make sure everything was going well and kept our plans in mind. Very personable service. I also left my phone at the table and the hostess held it for me until I was able to pick it up. The food was very good, we had the Petit Filet and Chilean Sea bass, also the watermelon cucumber margarita is very refreshing. Will definitely recommend going here. I will be back for sure."

  • "Went here for pre-theatre meal. We were immediately escorted to our table, and our server was very timely in taking our orders and keeping the meal moving along. Unfortunately, the wine list was a bit of a problem, as we had to place 4 orders before we found one that was actually available. Because of time constraints, we ordered straight forward meals-steaks and hamburgers. All were cooked to our satisfaction and had good flavor. A side of sauteed spinach was particularly good. Salads were solid. All in all, a good meal with excellent service."

  • "Ordered a ribeye med rare. Came out after 40 minutes med well. Sent it back. Manager said he checked it and med rare in center! If I wanted a med rare steak get a sirloin. I did and it came out ok. I have been to many steakhouses and had med rare rib eyes ( not just in center ). Huh?"

  • "Went to BV's for dinner after a Broadway show ( saw Rocky highly recommend it). I had been there for dinner before with work folks, but never for dinner with the family. We had an awesome dinner, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend BV's to anyone in the midtown area looking for a great steak. Have the porterhouse cooked pittsberg style, you won't be disappointed."

  • "The restaurant had a nice ambience. It is not a romantic spot - but that is what it is. Just depends on what you're looking for. The seating areas are spacious for NYC. The food was excellent. It was on the pricey side. Won't find anything under $40/plate that's worth looking at. But all in all - very good restaurant. Close to the theatre district but offset enough hat you're not in the hustle and bustle."

  • "I'm sure the beef and shell fish are very good. I had French Onion Soup which was tepid in temperature and bland in taste. That was followed by Chicken Parm which was nothing special. Since it is a steak house I anticipated high prices. Unfortunately I don't think I got value. Most positive note...our waiter was friendly and appropriately attentive."

The food was good. Each of the 4 of us had various meat, fish,pasta and chicken dishes. All of which er very good and large portions. Good job."
