About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Lively

We take reservations starting one week in advance of your desired date--seven days in advance, starting at 11 AM online and over the phone. And with Broadway's staggered start times, things get tricky, so if your desired time is unavailable online, please give us a call; we hold a certain number of tables for phone reservations only. For parties of six or more, please call the restaurant directly.

Because of staggered theater times we can only guarantee reservations made online for one-and-a-half hours for parties of two, and two hours for parties of three or more. Apologies, but we don't reserve tables "only for drinks."

For reservations after theater, please check your show's running time on our website.

Since 1965, Joe Allen has been a quintessential New York restaurant serving a classic American menu in the heart of the Theater District. Just two blocks from Times Square, it has been a favorite of Broadway performers, locals, and tourists for almost 50 years.

Our server had a ton of tables but still treated us like we were his only responsibility. Just wish you had fountain Diet Coke.

Our group, The Intrepid Trio, frequents Broadway and had yet to try Joe Allen's. What an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delectable, the ambiance perfect, and our waiter Bob was totally amazing!!! His customer service, attention to detail, and pre-show entertainment of wit was a fantastic appetizer to the show we were headed to see. Each of our selections we4re delicious and the recommended soup of the day (Gazpacho) was incredible. This restaurant did not disappoint and we shall select to return again...and hope that Bob will be available for another engagement of fun, intellectual banter, and merriment!

Once again, a perfectly great time at my favorite restaurant row restaurant. I’ve never been disappointed… the service from the moment you walk in is excellent. I’ve been coming here for decades and it’s like visiting old friends … you feel welcomed. The menu is classic American food with great cocktails and wines. We sat in the main dining room and it’s warm and filled with Broadway show posters. Don’t forget to get the famous brownie with ice cream and hot fudge… and the banana cream pie too!
