    Food is so Delicious, cheesesteaks were the best! the variety of fries (Italian, old bay and regular) were awesome 👌The food came out really fast, Lana provided us the best service, shes very kind and sweet and made us feel at home. The place was very cozy and clean, and very happy 😊I would recommend it 💯 and I will come back soon.

    First time in New York and we are looking for the best Philly Cheese steak here, and we found this hidden gem. First of all, the lady behind bar - Lana is excellent, well treated to her customers and recommended foods which just fit our taste, the Italian fries, buffalo wings and the star Philly cheese steak are out of expectation.For the drinks, the olde city amber ale, full of favour and the color of the beer is amazing; the other half “the whiz” hazy ipa also is my favourite. Definitely worth a visit when u in NY and for sure will come again

    The food was absolutely delicious, and I would happily return for the quality of the dishes alone. The price was fair for the location and quality.However, I did experience some issues with the service. While our server/bartender wasnt rude or unpleasant, she wasnt as attentive as we would have liked. Although she was the only staff member working the front of the restaurant, there were only a few other tables occupied during most of our meal.Despite this, we enjoyed the food so much that we returned later for a takeout order.

    Best Philly cheesesteak and burger in town! Super cool atmosphere and music. Svetlana is also such a sweetheart. Make sure to check in when she’s on her shift 😄 looking forward to our next visit 🏈🍻

    I got told this was one of the best places in NYC for Cheesesteak and I can say it certainly is. Great food and beer, especially love the Big Wave, it went down well watching the soccer. Also a big thank you to Lana who looked after us, her service was the best.

  • Review 6 (2024-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    After a great experience at the Madison Ave. location, we visited the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant for a quick drink before the airport. I’m so glad we did! The food was great and drinks were strong but Svetlana’s service was the real treat. She’s the nicest New Yorker and one of the best servers in town! I absolutely recommend this restaurant chain, and especially the Hell’s Kitchen location.

    Authentic FlavorSteaming HotCrispy BreadJuicy MeatLOVED IT ALL!Funny thing though: The AC was acting out so when we walked in, we almost walked out. The food was THAT good for us to stay and endure.

    Had a wonderful time here and will be back!!!My first visit pretty much made me an Eagles fan, great vibes with a D.J for the game and awesome Philly fans!Bartenders Svetlana & Johnny made me feel super welcome, and both of them remembered my name and face on return visits. The staff are super personal and professional.I was very well looked after and will be back.Also the best Cheesesteak Ive had in NYC.

  • Review 9 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Food and drinks were great. Authentic Philly cheesesteak. Our bartender Svetlana was great! Amazing service. Excellent energy. Outstanding spirit. Would highly recommend stopping by for a lowkey night out.

    On New Year’s Day my husband was craving a cheesesteak from Olde City in Hell’s Kitchen from the time we sat at the bar we met the most beautiful and friendly bartender Svetlana K and it made our experience so memorable and special not only is Svetlana a sweetheart she was very informative about the menu as well as cocktail selection she made me the best margarita I ever had. She was extremely personable and friendly we will definitely be back to see her and we definitely recommend this hidden gem. My husband & I are both in the industry as seasoned Chefs on a high platform so to be treated so special and she had no idea who we were shows she treats all customers with kindness and compassion we will definitely be back to visit her and we left her a generous tip to pay homage to a great experience. Thank You Svetlana for being the sweetest human being I pray you boss knows how special you are like we do!!!

  • Review 11 (2024-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    I was visiting the city for a couple of days. Ran into this gem of a place. Walked in olde city and was immediately was greeted. Sat at the bar and had a drink and some wings. Had a nice conversation with the sweetest bartender Svetlana. Would definitely recommend if you’re around the area.

  • Review 12 (2024-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Svetlana was the best!! Very beautiful energy and smile. The lights & bumping music above set the vibe for my lunch, and this was my first time actually have a cheesesteak!! The special was everything I needed and more! The beer + shot combo was a steal 😉.

  • Review 13 (2023-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    We were in New York City recently and I picked this place because Im not sure Ill make it to Philly. The reviews said it was authentic so I had to try it. I got the lunch special which was a cheesesteak, fries or salad and a beer for $19. I got it with Whiz and it was very good. We also got the real deal Philly pretzels with cheese dip which were also very good. The service was excellent and we would definitely go back.

  • Review 14 (2024-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    Lana is the best bartender I’ve had since arriving in NYC. The espresso martini was flawless and the wings and Italian fries (both recommended) were delicious. Will be back!

  • Review 15 (2024-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    Svetlana K., she was soooo beautiful and sooo great & honestly makes the best cocktails hands down !!! I loved her Rum Punch & customer service ! Will definitely be coming again & I hope she’s there !!

  • Review 16 (2024-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great Chicken Philly in Manhattan! Italian fries were a hit as well. We’ve stopped here for drinks and cheesesteaks on all of our recent trips to NYC. Svetlana was awesome and provided great service. We felt right at home here!

  • Review 17 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    If youre looking for a spot with consistently great drinks and top-notch service, this bar is a must-visit. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Svetlana is lovely and super attentive. But the real standout? The cheddar bites—crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and the perfect pairing with any drink. Whether youre there for a casual night out or a quick snack, this place never disappoints!

  • Review 18 (2024-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    This place is amazing! The best philly cheese steak Ive ever tasted. After walking around NY and experiencing nothing but rudeness coming in here changed my experience in NY. My server was Lana and she has an amazing attitude, she put me on a nice lunch special with a cheese steak, fries that were so amazing and an ice cold beer for only 21 bucks. I will definitely be back! 5 stars 🌟

  • Review 19 (2025-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    The food was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing! Lana was amazing! The whole experience was everything! We had the cheesesteak and the cheesesteak fries and it was all so good. 10/10 recommendation!

  • Review 20 (2024-08-30 - Rating: 4)

    It is a nice bar on the main avenue. We went there for happy hour. Had a wine and beer. The pretzels were for $2 and the buffalo cauliflower was about $6 or $8. They both tasted really well. Not significantly oiled and feeling greasy at the end of the meal. We left the place very happy making a notation that we should come back during another happy hour. They also have happy hours between Monday and Thursday from 11:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. which is closing hours. And some late evening. Happy hours, probably until 7:00 p.m. or so. Enjoy the place.

  • Review 21 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    We visited this restaurant/bar on our trip to New York and it was awesome. The food was great and the bartender Svetlana was so friendly!!! We’ll be back next time we are in town.

  • Review 22 (2024-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I have had a great experience here. We came to NYC for the Yankees game tonight and we are from Tennessee so we are killing time before the game. We wanted a cheesesteak and it did not disappoint. Svetlana was a wonderful server. She was very personable and made us feel very welcomed. It was a great way to kill a couple hours for lunch. I highly recommend for a beer and cheesesteak!

  • Review 23 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    So I went there today to the ninth Avenue location I tried the cheesesteak. It was very good the bartender Svetlana Was an absolute delight and took good care of me. The surrounding area is a little shady and she made sure What was in the street not inside the bar and also had great recommendations very sweet. The steak itself was very good and I would definitely go back and eat there again

  • Review 24 (2024-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible cheesesteak. The lunch special deal cant be beat, and Svetlana took amazing care of us!

  • Review 25 (2024-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Im a Brit, I was told this is the best place in Manhattan for Philly CheesteakThey werent lying! Was soooo good! My partner had the smash burger and said it was the best burger shes ever hadYou have to try this place!

  • Review 27 (2024-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Svetana is the best bartender ever! I had the cheesesteak egg rolls that were amazing. Nice chill Philly vibes in HK.

  • Review 28 (2024-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect place to taste real Philly cheese stakes, it is more than finger licking good! Great atmosphere with nice music.

  • Review 29 (2023-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    Whiz wit! (and some banana peppers because I was feeling frisky). This place delivers a great quality cheese steak in a warm atmosphere. Everything about the meal was supreme quality from the roll, whiz, onions, and peppers to the STEAK. Not dry, seasoned well and really the perfect ratio to the other ingredients. Really the best Ive had in NYC - dont waste a trip to Brooklyn for Federoffs if youre in Manhattan and the others arent even worth talking about. This is the spot.A final note: I got takeout but the bar area appeared quite welcoming. Solid place to sit down and socialize / grab a beer with your food.

  • Review 30 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 5)

    The food was awesome and the prices were fair. The best guys in the Place is Joseph and victor, if i was their Boss, id raise their salary, i never had such friendly hosts in nyc.

  • Review 31 (2024-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    LEGIT philly cheesesteaks. I mean good. Really good. Shockingly good. Drinks are great. The service is impeccable. This spot slaps. Its not Dalessandros but itll sure as hell scratch that itch. Wow.

  • Review 32 (2024-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    The cheesesteak is the best Ive had in midtown. Authentic with whiz, the fries are well seasoned and crispy and the service was excellent. Highly recommended

  • Review 33 (2023-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing cheesesteaks, fries, burgers, and service. A must stop on any trip to NYC. Will definitely come back if I can. My kids said it was the best food we had in NYC.

  • Review 34 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a must cut if you are in New York and looking for a good American food! Our food was so delicious! Lana who took our order was so kind and gorgeous We totally recommend it thank you olde city

  • Review 35 (2024-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    We came here at the 9th Ave location for lunch and we were not disappointed. Lana our server was great, the food was absolutely delicious, we had the Authentic cheesesteak and my daughter had the vegetarian sandwich. Both were great. One of the great places to eat when you’re in NYC!!

  • Review 36 (2024-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    What a great find. Had the authentic cheese steak w/sharp provolone. Best Ive ever had.Will definitely go back.

  • Review 37 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 4)

    We ordered takeout cheesesteaks and Old Bay fries. The fries were delicious and the Cheesesteaks good but not great. We are from Philadelphia home of the cheesesteak and this copy did not quite match.

  • Review 38 (2024-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    There’s only one thing to say about the service at olde city cheesesteak and brew; WOW! The quality and freshness of the food is incredible and the service was even better! Svetlana is very attentive & friendly! Come stop by you won’t be disappointed!

  • Review 39 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Love it here! My quest for an authentic Philly cheesesteak led me here and I was not disappointed. I’m here for my third visit and I’ve been warmly welcomed and served every time. Svetlana is a gem! She takes excellent care of her customers 😄 Try the black pepper American on your cheesesteak… Chef’s kiss! The whiskey shot + Yuengling pint for $10 comes in clutch, too. Highly recommend!

  • Review 40 (2024-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    The cheese steak was good, not the best Ive had, but the service and atmosphere were great. I would go back again.

    Great lunch spot if youre in the hells kitchen area. Down the street from times square without the chaos. Stopped in before my trip back home.

    Solid cheesesteak with great bread and excellent fries. Fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

  • Review 54 (2024-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    Food always solid. They are patient and accommodate special orders. The young female server on Sunday is terrific. And gluten free people: you can get a cheesesteak without the bun (though I didnt ask if the fryer was dedicated gf; i suspect not).

  • Review 55 (2024-04-27 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent cheesesteak. Cool atmosphere. Good selection of draft beers. I didnt care for the fries. Theyre the style that has the orange crust-like bits. Not for me. But the cheesesteak was delicious.

  • Review 56 (2023-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Best phillcheesesteak in NYC + awesome beers + nice lunch sets :) A must-visit for foodies in NYC

  • Review 57 (2024-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    I love the lunch deal but I love the service even more. Nicoles hospitality is first class and I feel more welcome at Olde City than I do at the numerous pretentious fine dining joints that I frequent. As a philly native its refreshing to have a local HK spot that reminds me of home. Neighborhood means everything in Philly, and this has been my spot for good reason.

  • Review 58 (2024-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    My wife was craving a good cheese steak for lunch . After reading reviews I brought her to the 9th Ave location. Wow hands down the best weve ever had . Lana was the best .

    What a spot. The best cheesesteak and beer I had while in NYC. Everything was so proper, super thankful for this experience! My wife and I went two evenings in a row because it was that good. Highly recommend asking for the cherry hot peppers if you like hot food.

  • Review 68 (2024-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    It was 12:30am at 15th of February, which btw is my birthday, I met my friend at Penn station, both literally starving. Looking around for a food, found this plase nearby, seen some pictures of beautiful cheesesteakWe had a luck to meet a guy, the real reason of this review, Alek! Highest possible service provided, he got us enrolled in some kind of promotion which I didnt really know about, which discounted us like 10$. By the end at the moment we were about to leave I just shared with Alek that its my bday just now and its first place we came to and it was great not only because of food but his service! Hearing that we got offered some drinks on house!Definitely the place I would come to every time Im around!

  • Review 69 (2024-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Cheesesteak delivery is impeccable. Comes piping hot and crispy. Wiz + sharp provolone. Eat immediately before bread gets soggy. Have ordered twice and it’s been amazing both times. Haven’t found a place I’ve liked this much since 99 miles to Philly closed down.

  • Review 70 (2023-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    Best cheesesteak I’ve had in the city (better than Shorty’s and Wogies). Wings and cheddar bites were great as well. Went during Eagles vs Rams and atmosphere was perfect. Perfect size crowd and very quick service. DJ played music during commercials and got heckled when he accidentally cut the eagles fight song short. Felt like I was right back in Philly! Will be back for the Phillies tonight.

    Second time at this location and it was even better than the firstOrdered the cheesesteak with onions and wiz and was not disappointed. Felt like I was eating one back in philly. The meat to cheese ratio was perfect. The steak was juicy, the bread soft and toasted just right.The Italian fries in the side were wonderfully seasoned.The food came out fast and the beers were great.Nothing felt rushed and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Svetlana was amazing.

    Man I like places like this. I didn’t plan it, just walked in, and I’m a happy young man. That cheesesteak was perfect with the cheddar. Go ahead and get their in-house brew, Old City Amber Ale, it hits the spot.

    A Philly friend gave his stamp of approval of these steak sandwiches, and I gotta tell you, it didnt disappoint! Really great food, service (from Svetlana), and atmosphere. I had the lunch special of a full cheesesteak, fries, and a pint. Excellent place for lunch and a beer!

  • Review 109 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent cheesteaks, super quick service as well. Acessibility is top notch, just get out the subway and walk on in. Prices were also excellent. Definitely recommended if youre in the area.

  • Review 110 (2024-01-14 - Rating: 4)

    When you first walk in, it appears to be a standard bar, but wait! Look closely and within seconds you realize this is a Philly bar in NYC and their cheesesteak backs it up. This Philly bar offers good food and drink specials and there are plenty of TV’s to catch just about any sports event. The cheesesteak definitely holds its own, it’s not the best I’ve ever had, however I like to focus on the quality. If you like cheesesteaks, beer and sports, then definitely check this place out. Did I mention they have a large selection of draft beers too.

    Do yourself a favor, go eat the Cheesesteak!! Hands down the absolute best. I would definitely return, should I come back to NYC!Serve was AMAZING too!

  • Review 127 (2023-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    When you walk in, you’ll quickly realize this is a bar and not a restaurant. Don’t let that deter you! I sat down at the bar right around 6pm. There were several side tables also open for parties or 2 and 4. Bartender was very attentive and I ordered a draft beer from their decent selection. The menu has many Cheesesteak options, but I opted for a classic with Whiz and added the options fried onions. I passed on green peppers. I splurged on the calories and also ordered fries. Before my food arrived, it got significantly busier, with most every seat taken. A DJ finished setting up and started cranking some tunes, so it got a little louder, but not too bad. My cheesesteak arrived in a basket, cut in half. Perfectly crisp lightly batter-coated fries are a large order and in their own basket. The sandwich was large enough to split, but way too tasty to do so. The soft bun was filled with the right balance of tasty meat, whiz, and onions. This was easily one of THE best cheesesteaks I have ever had. Cooked perfectly, and you can tell it’s high-quality meat. I won’t hesitate to eat here again.

I had just passed my food handler examination so i came in to celebrate. I shared this information with her & she was just as overjoyed as i was! she wished me nothing but good luck & praise. It was the exact energy that i needed. She was so proud of me LOL. I ordered a whiskey sour for my drink which was a 10/10. SUPER GOOD! The right amount of liquor, not too strong, not too light. If you ever come to this bar, ASK FOR HER!!!! Thank you Svetlana💕💕💕💕

    Nice place with good drink options. Food is OK, no vegan options or many vegetarian either, but overall, an OK menu.Female staff is excellent and nice, however, one male waiter was quite rude and condescending. He made me feel uncomfortable.Atmosphere is nice. It is possible to have a conversation, the place is not too loud. Not too crowded even on a Saturday night.

  • Review 165 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    We were very sad when we found out that Shortys closed all their locations in NYC, but this is a worthy replacement! We got the Philly cheesesteaks (Authentic, with Cheese Whiz) and thought they were fantastic. Bread, beef, and cheese were all great. We personally wouldve liked a little more cheese, but they provided a large side cup of it when we asked ($1). The Old Bay (Cajun spiced) fries were good too.Brownie sundae was decent; wish the brownie was a bit more moist/fudgy and hotter.Music was a tiny bit loud for our taste but reasonable for a sports bar.Good service.We will be back!
