"P.J. Clarke’s, a historic tavern open since 1884, is opening a new location at Manhattan West. This will be their fourth location in Manhattan, adding to their presence in Midtown East, the Upper West Side, and Brookfield Place." - Luke Fortney
"The P.J. Clarke’s on 55th Street—it’s been there since the 1880’s—is one of those classic NYC institutions where everyone who grew up on their burgers can think of nothing better. That sensibility translates to the downtown outpost, which seems to play particularly well with bankers who are thrilled to have a burger and a beer to wrap up the day. The Lincoln Square location is a hit with kids walking home from Central Park."
"I was glad to find P.J.’s back open with TVs on and grabbed the venue’s famed Cadillac burger and fries: the burger delivered melty cheese, salty bacon, and a juicy medium‑rare patty while the fries were golden and crisp. It was the perfect spot to watch a game again after months away." - Eater Staff
"P.J. Clarke’s reopened last September after an extended pandemic closure, again giving theater-goers an opportunity to enjoy some of the city’s top bacon burgers and french fries. The location here is key; one could theoretically walk to the opera within three minutes of finishing up a strong martini and a fresh tray of chilled raw oysters or clams. Keep in mind, however, that this location still operates on somewhat limited hours; the restaurant is only open from Wednesday through Sunday and closes at 10 p.m." - Ryan Sutton
"When I needed a late-night burger the Cadillac burger at P.J. Clarke’s hit the spot: a $20 burger with lettuce, onion, and generous bacon that all worked in synchrony, and the price included fries — a satisfying classic." - Eater Staff
