“it was outstanding. The steak (porterhouse for two) on its own was very under seasoned in my opinion. So thank goodness we got both the red wine sauce and the au poivre sauce to go with it. That set it over the top.”

NYC classic — Albert Keen opened Keens in 1885 in what was then the Herald Square theater district, making it one of the oldest steakhouses in New York.

“The burger and fries is top notch. Go at dinner time and they give the veggies and that amazing blue cheese dressing and olives.”

“The combo of its food and ambience make it my favorite steakhouse.”

“Steaks were good. Mutton was even better. The steaks didn't even need it but their steak sauce was to die for. It's hard to beat the atmosphere. Elegant, yet cozy. The restaurant seconds as a museum. 10/10.”

“T Bone was not great, under seasoned and ate pretty dry though we ordered medium rare. Service was awkward at best, not at the level you'd expect at a place charging the amount they do. Overall, don't see myself returning, plenty of better steakhouses in the city imo.”

“Here’s the pro move. You order the Keens King Cut prime rib rare, and ask them to put a little char on it with the grill. Tenderness of the roast with the flavor of a steak”

“I sent it back and he made some rude comments demeaning us, id’ed us after we had already been given drinks, and overall it was a terrible experience.”

“Keens has great meats aside from the mutton (which I don’t really like) Get the T Bone with a side of mushroom sauce. I would eat scraps of the steak just about every day and no matter the temperature, it was delicious.”

“Sadly, I strongly disagree. Went once with high expectations and was severely disappointed. Got the porterhouse for 3 and it was bland, wrong temperature, shitty crust, and fat was grizzly and chewy. The server didn’t check on us a single time after dropping off the steak and it took 15 minutes to get the check. 2/10”
