“had my most disappointing meal of 2024 there. the shakshuka was just a skillet of green water with cilantro and the egg whites were not cooked. i walked out of there confused and hungry.”

“They spilled water all over me on my birthday and laughed about it, barely assisted me in the clean up and then half heartily apologized to my boyfriend not to me and didn’t do anything to make up for it”

“It's definitely the $45 steak at Jack's Wife Freda. It was 5% edible and 95% nasty fat. Absolute trash.”

“Usually like JWF but recently had a mustard seed-crusted tofu which was rancid. Had to send it back and learned another table did the same.”

“Had the most disgracefully awful shakshuka I've ever seen. It was so thin and watery and under seasoned. And the bread was barely even toasted or even warm. Never going back.”

“The food is pretty solid but pricey like most restaurants in Manhattan, but not that exciting. I once found not one but TWO eyelashes on my food there. Drinks are refreshing but weak. I really enjoyed the gem lettuce salad with tarragon vinaigrette.”

“The popularity of that place was never based on their food.”

“BUT they have one A+ dish which is the kale salad with salmon as add-on. That salmon is perfection …crispy exterior!…and the salad has an addictive tang. I could eat it every day and I’m not really a salad person.”

“For the record, i am NOT saying the food is anything great. But I feel like it falls in the same general category as Seamore’s, Grey Dog, Westville etc in terms of semi-soulless NYC chains and I don’t see any of the others getting nearly as much hate. I actually rather like their breakfast bowl and green shakshuka.”

“You've had the $46 shlock that Jack's Wife Freda calls a steak, never to return.”

“It’s perfectly adequate restaurant, much better restaurants at the same price point but not bad.”
