Bondurants 303 East 85th Street, Manhattan, New York 10028

"Great food, tap selection and awesome staff. Dark, chill, fun and respectful vibe. Service industry anywhere can be brutal so being courteous to the staff, as one always should will leave you happy every time. Pat LaFrieda's beef is a bonus. Fulfills that burger craving and then some."

"Ate here with a friend who was visiting in the UES at around 6pm on Friday. We got one of the last seats, at the window bar top and enjoyed a few drinks at Happy Hour prices which ended at 7pm. We got the French fries, the bahn mi pork sliders, the blistered shishito peppers, and the fried green tomatoes. The bahn mi pork sliders and the shishito peppers were good. The fried green tomatoes were so-so— the breading overpowered the flavor. The fries were thick cut and a little soggy, but it’s hard to hate fries. Overall good and we were happy with the portions. The waiter had to check in with us twice because he forgot a few things but was still very friendly. Four stars all around."

"Really nice place. Good selection of beer and also non alcoholic drinks for pregnant wives!! Fried chicken was very good. Service very good. Would come again (if we lived here but are tourists)."

"Updated to add, another time I went I got the chicken tenders (pic added) and they are INCREDIBLE! Best in the city. They come with an amazing BBQ sauce and a flaky delicious biscuit. This place is something special! ********** There is just something about a good burger at a cozy neighborhood bar on a cold night. Bondurants is perfect for this, loved every moment. Nice and full on a Friday night but we managed to snag a table and each got the burger and IPA fries. Not a bite was left behind! The service was also impeccable, our server was so friendly and gave excellent beer recommendations when my boyfriend's first choice wasn't available. I also got the Fizzy Lifting Drink and thought it was the best cocktail I've had in awhile. Yet another gem on the Upper East Side! Can't wait to come back!"

"We have been twice now as friends of ours live nearby. The food is tasty and they have a great selection of beers. I was dubious about the mac n cheese with blue cheese, buffalo chicken wings and hot sauce but it was truly awesome!! Have been thinking about it for 2 days now and am sad that I won’t get a chance to go again before we fly back to London. The tater tots were also really good and the wings delicious too. The coffee beer was pure genius... will be booking a flight for the Mac n cheese again soon!"
