About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
We take reservations starting one week in advance of your desired date--seven days in advance, starting at midnight online and at 11 a.m. 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.

    We go to Joe Allen after every performance we attend. It’s the best in Times Square - no notes.

    It’s a piece of New York theatre history where performers gathered for a bite before or between shows.

    The food was good but I thought the menu was lacking in options. They did not have any specialty cocktails and the ones we had were so-so. What we ordered was but not good enough for us to return.

    Always love Joe Allen. Great ambience and service. Like every other restaurant in NY, the food is overpriced.

    Guacamole was below quality and served with stale vegggie chips. Steak and fries came out hot but nothing special. Service and drinks were great.
