Customer Reviews
The Dickens has a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on over 2159 reviews on Google
I needed some comfort food (and a drink) before a Broadway show, and it hit the spot. Pretty crowded, but I got a table really quickly. Good service and atmosphere 🥰 Highly recommend! I had a cheeseburger and got a glass of wine for $10 - they have happy hour until 7pm and from midnight until closing. Such a good deal! 🍔🍷
We stopped by The Dickens before a Broadway show and loved our experience! The cocktails were great, and the vibe was so fun! Such a gem in New York City! We went to The Dickens on a Saturday night. It was busy, but we were able to find a spot upstairs. It wasn’t overly crowded, and we were able to comfortably talk amongst our party. Highly recommend The Dickens!
Great find on 8th Avenue! I stumbled upon The Dickens while exploring the area and was pleasantly surprised. The sliders were excellent—flavorful, well-prepared, and perfect for a quick bite. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place to stop in, relax, and enjoy some good food. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby. 🍔🍻
Overall rating: 4.6 Came here on a date for drag bingo. The show is sooo good. Extremely entertaining and wow, I’ve never seen so many bridal showers and birthdays! It was pretty funny that I chose this as a first date & highly recommend. The food was alright, nothing special. But the drinks were flowwinggg in the best way. I definitely recommend coming with a group of people and enjoy the performance. BRING ONES. TIP, TIP, TIP. Do not come on an empty stomach. Would have rather just to order an appetizer, then drinks.
Cauliflower Bited followed by Chicken Pot Pie and Steak Sandwich. Everything prepared excellently. We were pre-theatre, and it filled up and started to get loud toward the end of our stay. Will return if the opportunity presents itself.
We came on a Wednesday night and had our own little girl dinner. Fun drinks, wings that were out of this world, and fries. Our server was so fun and fabulous!
Love, love, love this place! The chicken pot pie was the best I’ve had! Delicious espresso martinis and my bartender, Joe was a sweetie pie! Love this place! Will definitely come back again!
