Great spot in an excellent location.
Seafood and steaks are among the best I’ve ever had anywhere and the service is top notch.
Prices are big but the food is worth it. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here

Harry the manager/host was so friendly and welcoming. The bar was full. He offered a table for us to have drinks and appetizers. Now this is old school charm. We had a great time!
Bobby Van’s is now our go-to spot for lunch, dinner and drinks.
Thanks Harry!
Food was great! The crab cake was a bit too fishy tasting.

Bobby Van’s is a solid after-work spot—perfect for drinks or dinner. The bartender was super attentive and made excellent cocktails. The food was all really good: the shrimp, steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and homemade chips hit the spot. For dessert, we had what I think was the chocolate mud cake—it tasted like a rich brownie sundae and was absolutely perfect for a sweet tooth.

One of my favourite steakhouse in New York.
As always the food was delicious! We shared a variety of appetisers, including a shrimp salad, calamari, very tasteful bacon and mussels. Next I had a sizable bone-in ribeye which was so nice with the roquefort sauce in the side, accompanied by some side dishes like French fries, hashbrowns and spinach.
Just loved it! Hoping to be back in the not too distant future!

Wow!!!! My boyfriend planned a date night here and wow was it fantastic. Chill vibe, classy but laid back environment. We both had the bone in rib steak which was phenomenal. Neither of us could finish our steaks and we aren’t light weights. The drinks were great and service was exceptional. I had a Baileys coffee at the end of the meal and it was fantastic. The sides were amazing also we had mashed potato and creamed spinach. Left overs the next day were also five star.

Bobby Van’s is tucked away off of Hemsley Walk, and the entrance is art deco but reasonable unassuming.
But it has a special place in my heart. Many years ago I came back into the city after a long work day. Most everything around Grand Central was closed, but I stopped by and found the bar at Bobby Van’s busy and LOUD. The dining room was closing down, but the bartender was extremely helpful and let me order a lobster cocktail and steak to take back to my hotel room. Best ‘room service’ ever.
I recently had a chance to re-visit the restaurant. I wanted to sit at the bar, but it was very crowded. Despite a busy night and despite me being a single diner, the front desk staff was very accommodating and found me a table in the main dining room. I had the chop chop salad and, keeping with the theme, a veal chop. The waiter was very friendly and offered me a half portion on mashed potatoes as a side to the veal. Nice touch.
Overall I would say the food was ‘good’ but not exceptional, and probably not as good as Keen’s or Smith and Wollensky. BUT, the service (15 years ago and now) at Bobby Van’s is exceptional and beats most restaurants that I have visited in NYC (especially the attention to a single diner, which is rare). Come here for the food, but stay for the service.

I’ve always wanted to visit here and when I finally did, it was too late at night (10 PM). The bartender was welcoming and humorous. As a party of two, we only grabbed two glasses of wine to be considerate of the kitchen staff, although they wanted to accommodate. I definitely need to return to have their steak.

Out of all the many steak houses in NY, this is by far my absolute favorite. My husband and friends are big steak eaters, where I am not which is one of the reason ms I love this place. My husband had the Ribeye, which he loved, my friends had the porterhouse, which they raved about, and I had the crab cakes and chilean sea bass which OMG. I cannot wait to go back. We also had the home fries, creamed spinach, and fried onions. Everything was amazing along with the service. Highly recommend!!!

Seems to be a common trait for old school “legacy” ish steakhouses to have that stuffy arrogance from the service staff. Nice authentic place with decent steaks. Nothing phenomenal.

Well worth the price tag, honestly one of the best (if not the best) steaks I’ve had in years. Service was also good banter which added to the evening. A delight to return having not been to a Bobby Van’s in a few years
