Seafood
A British born restaurant rocked up on the shores of the USA to bring diners the ultimate Burger & Lobster experience. Our Bryant Park restaurant is right in the middle of the action in New York City just a stone's throw away from the famous park. Our restaurant serves live, wild Atlantic lobsters that our restaurants receive fresh each day whilst all of our beef is from Nebraska in the USA.

Our menu is packed with food for all to enjoy, which is why we believe we are the best restaurant near Bryant Park NYC. You can try out our originals with 10oz beef burgers or 1.25lb whole lobsters or even our famous lobster rolls. Want to try them all? Don't worry, our B&L combo have you covered with a 6oz burger and 1.25lb lobster on one plate - the best of both worlds! If meat isn't your thing, our B&L Beyond Burger is the one for you and is perfect for vegan diets.

    Honestly, I wanted to like this place. Very fun atmosphere & our server, Brian, was fantastic! The lobster bisque was quite good & filling, but things went way downhill from there. The lobster Ceaser Salad was, in a word, terrible. Wilted greens, wasaaay too much salt, overcooked lobster. I’d go back for a drink & appetizer-to give them another chance (mainly because Brian was so delightful) but other than that, I can’t really recommend this place…

    What a find! We made a reservation based on the menu. We wanted a light meal before going to the theater. To our delight, there was a Happy Hour menu which allowed us to share a few dishes. The food was delicious and came out quickly! Waitstaff were friendly too! We will be back!

    A party of 7 out for my nieces 18th birthday. Three people ordered the same burger with modifications to their toppings. Everyone’s food arrived but my nieces. I gave the server a few minutes until I called her over since runners brought out the food. The server then realized she never entered that one order. As a family everyone waited an additional 10 minutes for her food to come out because it would be rude to eat without the birthday girl. The manager tried to make the situation better by offering a free dessert. #Unacceptable!!! Somehow my nephew and his girlfriend ordered drinks the same time as everyone else and their drinks came after the food. Now the restaurant WAS NOT CROWDED. Our server was just terrible. She came over to the table and her apology was she had a really long day. Bologna!!!! Just note I’ll be back NO TIME SOON B&L Bryant Park!!

    Delicious food and drinks all way round. We had the combo for 2 and it did not disappoint. The lobster was cooked perfectly (we chose steamed), the lobster roll and burger was delicious. Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

    Overall, an enjoyable experience with great food and appropriate service. Things to note, the piped in music can be very loud which can make it hard to communicate with others at the table. Also, while the food is always good we would not recommend the lobster grilled. We have tried a couple of different times and it is always over cooked and very dry. Additionally the taste of the charring over powers the sweetness of the lobster. We have now learned to only choose the lobster steamed, much more consistent.

    Food decent; good portions; lobster roll had generous amount. Service was good; nice ambiance. HOWEVER, per staff: 1)elevator broken; 2)coffee machine broken - could not get a cup(!!); and 3)the unisex bathroom has 2 toilets and 2 sinks. One of the 2 toilets was jammed so the entire - crowded - restaurant was using 1 toilet. Really? No one on staff can use a plunger? No plumber on call? The staff was unconcerned. (IF THEY WERE REALLY ON THEIR GAME, THEY WOULD HAVE OFFERED TO SEND A RUNNER SOMEWHERE TO BUY A CUP FOR US OR RAN OUT TO BUY A MR. COFFEE OR SOMETHING.) I will not rush back here.

    Had the Burger and Whole Lobster Combo and 1/2 doz. raw oysters. Burger and oysters were delicious. Lobster quality questionable. Meat was mushy and the head was already pre-cleaned out (we did request for the head not to be cleaned out but that was not an option) which make me question the true freshness of the lobster. I have heard of soft shell lobsters so perhaps this was one. For a business called Burger and Lobster, I'd make sure I was serving hard shell lobster where the meat is firm.

    Burger and Lobster used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately both the quality/taste of the food and the service have gone down with my last several visits. First of all, I made a reservation for the bar but there was not Soave available. The hostess was not apologetic and seemed ill equipped to deal with issues like that. The “oh well” attitude is not appropriate when you are supposed to be focused on giving good customer service. I had to ask for the rest of my food which I saw sitting in the window. I don’t know why everything was not brought together. The French fries were not hot whey I got them. The buns on the sliders that I hit were stale. The only thing that was hood was my drink. The servers are inattentive. Sone seemed more concerned with conversing with their colleagues than tending to the customers. I used to eat here every day when I visited NY. I’m canceling my reservation for tomorrow.
