Review from Nolan G.
Brookline, MAA tavern oasis in an increasingly ritzy Hell's Kitchen, Mr. Biggs certainly serves a niche in its neighborhood. With big burgers, a decent draught selection, and perhaps the friendliest bar staff in HK, I can say I'll definitely be back. I had a big BBQ burger and the meat was high quality and I appreciated the availability of green salad as a side.
Downside on the day that I went was that they were out/running out of several beers...at 3:30 in the afternoon. I don't know if that's typical, but at least it means that people were drinking there. Mr. Biggs was also remarkably clean.
In sum, Mr. Biggs is on my "places to go again in HK" list! -
Review from Christopher M.
New York, NYTo be fair, gotta give props where they're due. Still not a place I'll frequent, since I'm not down for inconsistencies in menu or service. But I went again last night, as it was really the only option a friend and I to grab some sort of dinner and still make our early show.
We went with the margarita special. Still a bit weak...but flavorful. Nice, refreshing, and a chic little glass. Not shabby for a $5 deal in the area.
My friend did have to ask for better seating when she arrived ahead of me. But she received it.
The one hostess/server gave off the energy of really not wanting to be bothered, but she'll do the best job she could under the circumstances. The other was actually decent and efficient.
The mac & cheese balls seem to be handmade, and are decent. They needed salt and pepper, or the marina sauce. But the marinara was good.
The star, however, was the potato skins, which is basically one russet, sliced in half, hollowed out, stuffed with a pretty darned decent pulled pork (which isn't laden with unnecessary bbq sauce), and topped with mashed potatoes. Crispy skin, nice textures. Wanted more when I was done with my half.
If I have to go again, I will without as much hesitation as I had before last night.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Julia K.
Manhattan, NY$5 margaritas and amazing macaroni and cheese, what could go wrong? Well, honestly, almost nothing. I hit this place pretty often because I meet my friend at port authority and then we walk there together. It's perfect for a relaxed evening of gossiping.
I personally would shy away from the margaritas, they are boozy enough, but not cold enough and after about 5 minutes, you have a regular margarita that isn't cold.... but the macaroni and cheese is fantastic. I recommend asking for it extra creamy. -
Review from Ramiro A.
Modesto, CAThis place had a great location and Adrian, our server was nice... But Ashley? She was some bitch! She seamed to have a problem simply squeezing limes. Maybe Scott should know how bad it was to have to
look at her pathetic face when Adrian told her what we wanted and how we wanted it. Out of the 6 of us that were dinning. 3 of us are in the service. We consist of bar owners, bartenders, and restaurant owners, from California. I would never recommend this place as long as Ashley is working there. Hey Scott, have Ashley squeeze some lines for you! Cause she won't for your customers. -
Review from Delilah H.
Pittsburgh, PAThe stars are for the frozen Margarita
$9.00 for chips and salsa even in NYC is ridiculous .
There is nothing special about this place , you pay the difference for cheap drinks with expensive food that is not worth it. -
Review from Josh d.
I have a sick sort of fascination with stuffed burgers, so I stopped into Mr Biggs one day...
Dry, bland, and boring. How do you make a burger dry when you're fucking stuffing it with cheese? -
Review from Y M.
Manhattan, NYDecent place to come. I was just walking by the restaurant on one day, and they had a very catchy lunch special menu outside. I forgot the exact price, but it was a burger and drink deal for a very low price, even for the neighborhood.
It turned out that there is only one lunch special menu with not much option, but it was a good portion, tasty enough, and it included a soda. Certainly a good deal, but I am not sure if I would be back.
The decor looked a little odd to me, and the location of restroom is right in the center.. like everyone in the restaurant can see me walking in/out of the restroom. I felt a little weird using the restroom. -
Review from Nati R.
Brooklyn, NYI've been coming here for 2 years now when I had a friend bartend there. Lucia works there currently, and she's fucking fantastic.
They've recently upgraded the look of the place, going from rough and tumble dive, to nice sports bar. There are booths where you can sit with a group or a date, and lots of TV's.
Karaoke 4 nights a week, which can be good or annoying as hell, depending on who has the mic.
Lots of beer on tap, you've got the usual suspects as well as craft beer. Food is very good bar fare. -
Review from Dot S.
Hoboken, NJFirst of all, the Karaoke there SUCKS ASS. The DJ is the most annoying attention whore in the world. She insists on singing every few songs even when there is a huge amount people signed up.
The sound is BRUTALLY bad. You can not hear yourself sing and the DJ turns YOU down when you sing, but when her fat face gets on the MIC, it is painfully loud.
We complained to the manager (Richie) and he was a pompous TWAT. No manners and not open to any sort of suggestions.
The bathrooms are filthy as all hell. Loads of drunken violent assholes in this place.
My friends have had similar experiences. We are NEVER going back.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Better to head to Tempest on Saturday nights (8th ave and 31st street) they have the BEST karaoke ever. -
Review from Keith L.
I've been going to Mr. Biggs for a years and the food is consistently good. There's nothing better than eating a Juicy Lucy al fresco with a good friend and a draught beer. And for those who have never had a Juicy Lucy - it's a cheeseburger with the cheese *inside* the burger. Heaven... -
Review from Disk B.
Atlanta, GAI love the outside seating at the corner of 43rd street and 10th avenue and the people watching is great in this west midtown neighborhood. Its right on the fringe of this trendy area, but this place is far from trendy. They have been here for almost 20 years and not much has changed.
They serve big portions of food and drink; great hamburgers and the best Wings in the city IMHO. with a good beer selection that is always changing and SPORTS!!! - over 12 large flat screens to watch games on, this is a great hangout for playoff games and the fall football season.
The karaoke is always fun on the weekends for the throngs of regulars (some broadway ringers and Sinatra wannabes) and the random bachelorette party of giddy ladies singing their girl anthems, it's not for me to join in the festivities but I love watching the amerature sing show all the same.
There is always something going on here and I aways have a great time stoping by. You should too!!! -
Review from Gigi A.
I really love this place and stop by for a drink whenever I'm in HK. This place has many highlights:
1) Outdoor seating
2) An impressive food menu for brunch, lunch and dinner
3) Angry Orchard Cider on tap
4) A name evocative of Sex and the City
Can't say anything bad about this place and I'm going to keep going back. -
Review from Katie M.
Normally I wouldn't review a place like this. It's a pretty typical pub in midtown. A friend and I had originally wanted to go to the Frying Pan, but bad weather forced us up to Hells Kitchen. We were hungry and needed beer, and this place has some pretty solid outdoor seating.
I ordered a veggie burger, which was passable but pretty meh. It was definitely the store-bought frozen variety, not sure which brand (as my server exclaimed, "IT HAS EDAMAME IN IT! COOL!"). French fries were tasty though.
Speaking of the service, our waitress was out of her mind crazy. She was talking to herself, going off on tangents, randomly mentioning things about her personal life without being prompted... it was actually hilarious. It's basically the reason why I bothered to write a review. My favorite moment was when she replied to my question "What beers do you have on tap?" with "GREAT QUESTION! I LOVE BEER!"
I'd go back just to witness that again.
