P.J. Clarke's On The Hudson

I like to come here because of ambiance. Nice bar area next to water.<br><br>Food is somewhat ok & really depends on what you order. Burgers & raw bar are amazing. Everything else? Not so much though passable.<br><br>It does get a bit crowded during happy hour even though they technically have no happy hour because all the office workers in same building & nearby come here after work. These days, Thursdays are like Fridays so it's a madhouse on that day so I always avoid Thursdays around 5 - 7 pm.<br><br>The only thing I dislike other than lack of happy hour though can't really blame them given amount of foot traffic is everytime I go there, I feel bartender wants to close me out. I obviously want to keep tab open to contiune drinking but afternoon shift bartenders want me to close around 4pm which while understandable, is a bit annoying to have to pay twice if I continue drinking. This happened to me many, many times since I like to have early dinner around 3 pm.<br><br>So tired of this, I thought I solve it by coming in at 4 pm since dinner starts at this time. Only half hour later, bartender wants to close me out because he's leaving for day. I mean, seriously? I only been here for half an hour! Only safe recourse is to come here at 2 pm or 5 pm it seems which is stupid because sometimes I just want to drink longer.<br><br>Anyway, it's bad customer service to have to close out after only half an hour because it makes me just want to leave & not come back. Ever.

Curtis & Cristian were so nice! Really sweet staff and amazing food. Would deffo recommend. Loved it!

The view may be temporarily blocked by construction, but don’t let that stop you from going. The food more than makes up for it. The bartender burger was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and the kind of meal you keep thinking about afterward. The burger trio is also a great option if you want to try a little bit of everything.<br><br>And whatever you order, get the fries. No exceptions. They’re crispy, addictive, and easily one of the standout parts of the meal.<br><br>Service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Once the construction clears up, I’m sure the view will be a huge bonus, but the food alone already makes this place worth visiting.

Excellent food. Burger was rich and tasty. But, rum raisin bread pudding was exquisite! Tastes from my childhood😊

PJ's was the perfect spot for our Valentine's Day date! We were worried about holiday crowds, but the staff was so organized. Our drinks came out fast and the food (fish fry and sliders) was delicious. If you're looking for a spot that is reliable, friendly, and fast even on a busy weekend, this is it. Great drinks, great food, and amazing service!

We have been here a couple of times, once outside and most recently inside. The food is always good with an overall excellent menu. Nothing over the top fancy, just good food. Burgers are excellent, they will cook them the way you want them, a rarity anymore. Everything served hot and relatively quickly given how busy they were. The cocktails are quite good with the monster Bloody Mary a favorite. Service was pretty good considering how busy they were and the atmosphere is cheerful if not a bit loud. I can see us returning with regularity.

So PJ’s location is fantastic, it’s right by the marina in Battery Park City and you couldn’t ask for better views or people watching. It’s perfect for a group after work. The place is huge so it’s great for a big group.<br>The food is marginal. There can be good ingredients but it’s prepared at an industrial scale and the price is for the location not the taste. I’ve lived here twenty years.. it’s always been like this. My favorite thing is the chicken salad, really… and my favorite food in general is shellfish but I usually skip it here. If you want to hang out by the water and have some snacks that are a secondary reason for being there it’s a good spot.

Customer service upon entry could be better… the restaurant not being busy when we visited we were sat in the far back corner. One of the silverware sets had a long hair in it. Our table was wobbly… staff were friendly after we sat down, however we had 4 different staff members help us.<br>Food was overpriced for quality and flavor. This could be a great spot to visit on the regular but definitely needs some updates to the menu and atmosphere.

If you want a restaurant with amazing cuisine, beautiful views and stellar service, PJ Clarke's On The Hudson is it. Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. The food comes out reasonably fast. Another added bonus is that it is tucked inside of a beautiful upscale shopping mall. You can't go wrong.

This was easily one of our favorite stops in NYC. We were beyond impressed with literally everything - the burgers were easily one of the best we'd ever had, and our server Babacar was efficient, helpful, and polite. My drink was delicious with good balance and flavor profile, and the food came out unbelievably fast. So fast that the food runner approached our table and we thought he was mistaken. We will be back next time we visit the city!!

a beautiful restaurant with a stunning view but sadly the food does not live up to the atmosphere. extremely mediocre cuts of steak for steep prices. the fries came soggy and cold and the steak completely lacked flavour. it was also very hot in the restaurant and we asked our server about it but no changes were made.

I absolutely LOVE this place!!!<br>We had dinner there with my boyfriend last week and had some oysters, lobster roll and fish & chips. Followed up with some cocktails.<br>Service was amazing and water views are priceless! It feels like you are on vacation

PJ Clarke's on the Hudson offers a visually appealing setting with its waterfront views and lively ambiance, making it a worthwhile stop for the atmosphere alone. However, the food itself is merely average, adequate, but not particularly memorable. What really stands out is the steep pricing, which feels disproportionate to the quality and creativity of the dishes served. While the location adds a certain charm, it’s hard to justify the cost given the overall culinary experience. If you're visiting for the view and a drink, it's enjoyable; just don't expect a meal that matches the price tag.

The food was good, drinks were good, and atmosphere was good. Outdoor seating was very cute and view was pleasant. Service was quite slow but our waitress was very kind and helpful. If your looking for something casual and not pretentious or over the top than definitely recommend this place.

During my recent trip to the USA, I had been craving oysters, and this place turned out to be the perfect spot to indulge in them! Depending on the daily stock, we were fortunate to savor some wonderfully briny ones, which I found particularly delightful. Freshness and sweetness were key, and they paired beautifully with a Chardonnay. We opted for a platter that included clams and lobster, in addition to the oysters. The clams were equally fresh and enjoyable. We also tried the calamari, which was delicious. Finally, we couldn't resist finishing off with the lobster rolls, which were a definite must-try and left us feeling satisfied! The service was excellent, and we enjoyed the lovely scenery overlooking the Hudson River.
