Please note; we only take reservations up to one week in advance.

With Broadway's staggered start times, things get tricky, so if you're desired time is unavailable online, please give us a call, as we hold a certain number of tables for phone reservations only. For parties of six or more, please call the restaurant directly.

Since 1965, Joe Allen has been a quintessential New York restaurant serving a classic American menu in the heart of the Theater District. Just two blocks from Times Square, it has been a favorite of Broadway performers, locals, and tourists for almost 50 years.

We begin taking reservations seven days in advance starting at midnight online and at 11 a.m. over the phone.

Because of staggered theatre times we can only guarantee reservations made online for one-and-a-half hours for parties of two, and two hours for parties of three or more.

For reservations after theatre, please check your show's running time at http://joeallenrestaurant.com/show_info

    All servers were kind, attentive and fast. Asked what time our show was and even checked we had it correct. Food was good and portions were great. Seating was a bit cramped but the vibes were cozy and cool. Had a drink at the bar after dinner and it was very pleasant and welcoming service as well. Highly recommend.

    We went for my birthday before a matinee and had a marvelous time! The food came out promptly and was delicious but the highlight was our server Bob - full of excellent jokes and even better service. I’ll be back soon!

    Joe Allen is one of our favorite places to go for dinner when I'm in New York. It is very convenientlly in the Theater District, the service is snappy but not pushy, and the food is always good. Thank you, Joe Allen, for another wonderful experience in the Big Apple.
