P.J. Clarke's - American restaurant in New York - 915 3rd Ave, USA

Long time iconic dining spot in NYC. The wide variety of fresh oysters and the oyster Rockefeller are a great way to start your meal. You can't go wrong with a burger from here, or a lobster roll. We prefer the Connecticut style over Maine.

I have no idea how anyone can post anything but a 5-star review on this place. We had a FANTASTIC experience, and I doubt that future visits, if we lived there, would change. Drew was our bartender, and he combined personality, energy, and efficiency perfectly. Sometimes the staff sort of "makes" your experience, and he did exactly that. The place itself oozes with history and nostalgia. Yes, I even am posting a pic of the bathroom ceiling. Wife had a very well made French 75. I had the local IPA by Six Point. They have the old school jukebox and if Drew is working, play All Along The Watchtower for him. He will love you for it. Don't play Janis Joplin. The burger was solid, and that was a main reason we went there. It was well worth the $24. The oysters were also worth the 6 for $24. The chowder was also solid. Good mix of regulars, other service industry people, and sports fans during our visit. There are a lot of places in NYC obviously, but if nearby Midtown, you should definitely schedule an hour or two for here. Definitely recommend and see you there (the next time we are in NYC).

the location is very nice and typical. the service didn’t really convince me. we called asking if any gluten-free dishes were available and they told me so. we made a reservation. when we arrived they asked us to wait 30 minutes for our table (even if we reserved it!). when we sat down very few gluten-free dishes were available. the quality of the food is good but the service really needs a brush-up.

Very nice historic place . Burger was solid and unique . Fries were not salty, very enjoyable. Would be happy to try more burgers . Dessert really hit the spot . Brownie Sunday all the way . Only negative it was quite cold inside .

PJ’s is a cross between an English pub and an American diner. Red and white tablecloths meet the dark, tight and pokey feel of a pub. The food is very solid but it’s not quite as good as I was expecting. I had the Trio of Burgers so I could try all that was on offer. The Classic Burger & Cadillac Burgers were quite bland. The best was the Blue Cheese & Onion Burger. I think it was the lack of flavour in the patty that brought it down. I also had the lobster roll which was perfectly good but nothing too special. The best dish of the day was PJs Cheesecake. Great size for the price and although I like a little more biscuit to cheese ratio it was still really light and creamy. I was disappointed by PJs because for the price you expect it be perfect.

Nice and characteristic place with a good twist on seafood and burgers. The local is too dark to make you comfortable (it is even difficult to read the menu) and the personal could be more sympathetic, but ok, it's New York.

This place opened in 1884 and I can see why they are still here and doing so well I came for the Clarke burger and it did not disappoint Nothing fancy about the burger, just the classic done really well ps: asked for sautéed onions and I think it did add to the overall flavor

This is in my opinion one of the top five spots in NYC for a classic burger. The oysters were great and the spicy wings were excellent.
