Came here for trivia night and loved the atmosphere. It’s very family-friendly, with lots of families and kids dining and participating, and it has a warm, Cheers-like vibe where everyone seems to know each other. It truly feels like a neighborhood community pub.
Shoutout to the bartender, Lucia (she has glasses) — she was super sweet, funny, and helpful. I was writing on a tissue with a pencil, and without being asked, she brought me a pen and paper. Such a thoughtful gesture.
I live in Westchester and would definitely come back.

At or around November 14th I went to Doodys with my Husband and 3 other couples. Our waitress was Erin. She made us wait for 40 minutes to order and if one of us didn’t go to the bar to tell someone we were hungry and wanted to order, we would have still been waiting. She finally came over to take our order. We noticed that on the specials menu, they were serving prime rib. About 4 of us ordered it. We ordered the larger portion. The waitress who was about 7 feet tall and who did NOT have a pleasant additude or personality for that matter, took our order. She came back about 30 minutes later to tell us that in order for all 4 people to order that, we needed to get the small portion because they didn’t have enough prime rib, with no apology. First of all, if you have this on your special menu,wouldn’t you make sure you have enough to go around? These so called restaurant owners have been in business for decades. They are not amateurs with this. Now, the meal comes and I could not believe how disgusting this prime rib was. My husband’s was very fatty and still mooing! Mine was so tough that I couldn’t even chew it. Not to mention how flavorless it was. It had no seasoning whatsoever. Both meals went in the garbage. What a waste of money, time and aggravation. I will never go near that place again.

Was there for a repasse. The food was disappointing. Chicken Francese with rice just OK. Meatballs were of the frozen variety, tasted like it was. Everything else was just OK.

bacon cheeseburger was horrible. the burger was not cooked and was still raw, leading me and my girlfriend to both get food poisoning. i suggest not making the burgers that thick so the meat can actually cook through.
