Before coming to the Foo Fighters concert on 6/20/21 that reopened Madison Square Garden to full capacity (for those showing proof of vaccination), my brother-in-law and I got into Penn Station early enough to be able to have some dinner beforehand. We chose coming to Mustang Harry's.
We did have a reservation, but the place is so huge that tonight we probably didn't need it. We were quickly seated, and our friendly server mentioned the special menu and the Q code to scan for the regular menu.
I had a spicy jalapeño margarita to start, and man I should have asked for salt. However, it hit the spot. We split some Harry's loaded nachos and upgraded them with chicken. Lots of beans, tomatoes, jalapeños, cheese, and not enough chicken. Still quite tasty. For our entree, I had a spicy southern fried chicken sandwich. This was a huge piece of chicken nicely fried up with some bangin' pickles and a sauce which made the sandwich a bit sloppy. The brioche roll was toasted. It came with a small set of shoestring French fries which were crunchy and well done. It was not worth the $19 New York price, but it was one of the better fried chicken sandwiches I've had. I also had a second cocktail of an Office Rum. I'm not sure why the name Office is in it, but I liked the fruity drink.
My brother-in-law had the on-menu burger sliders in a "half-rack" portion which was four. He liked them a lot. Mini burgers with cheese. He also had the beer can special of Pabst Blue Ribbon @ $4 each.
All staff were masked up, and quick to assist us but a little on the slow side to get our drinks and food. This might have been because they were slightly short-staffed and having a packed MSG was not expected. The restaurant is not even a block away.
$111 not including tip for two mixed drinks, three beer specials, appetizer nachos with $6 chicken upgrade, half rack of sliders, and a fried chicken sandwich. Welcome to NY!
