Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Blue Dog Cookhouse And Bar is a cozy gem in the Theater District, perfect for pre-show dining. Guests rave about its "delicious food," "great service," and inviting atmosphere. While the space is small and can be "cramped," outdoor seating offers a lovely alternative. Reservations are recommended for this popular spot.

Everything we had was delish! The dining room’s a little tight, though. I would have liked fewer people seated at the communal table. Until the pre-theater diners left, it was really noisy. Also, it was a very cold night outside and the dining room was a little drafty/chilly. And extra symbols on the menu noting gluten-free options would be helpful. The service was great, tho, and all the food we tried was sensational!

The food was incredible. The homemade pasta was flavorful with perfect portion sizes. The initial service was slow, we sat down and waited 15-20 minutes before the waiter took our drink order. Once we got the drinks, they were delicious- we recommend the Green Dream! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Keep in mind that if you don’t want to sit a stable with other guests you may want to specify that in your reservation. We sat at long large table with 2 other parties- we didn’t have a problem with this. Overall, an enjoyable experience once we got our drinks.

Great after theatre meal- easy, friendly, quick service, delicious burgers. It was also nice to opt for roasted brussel sprouts instead of fries- which, btw, looked awesome. Good cocktail options; small but sufficient beer selections.

The food was good but the space is really tight. We were fine once we sat down but wouldn’t recommend to people who get claustrophobic easily.

We both had omelettes that were delicious. Our server did an excellent job and made every effort to make our experience delightful. It’s cozy seating and a small room but great ambiance. We always make a point to return when we visit NYC. Highly recommend!
