The menu special on Wednesdays is a $10 Loaded Burger, so we decided to drop by BJ's for lunch. The wait staff has a good memory and recognized some in our group, which makes you feel welcome. The table collectively ordered four Loaded Burgers, two classic brisket burgers, and one each of the new menu offerings, a Bistro burger ("beef patty with applewood-smoked bacon, goat cheese crumbles, caramelized onions, tomatoes, spinach, pickled red onions and roasted garlic aioli on a toasted parker house bun") and a Mushroom Swiss Burger (beef patty with sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted garlic aioli on a parker house bun). Everyone seemed to like their burgers. Although presentation was good and it was tasty, I did have one complaint: when I first picked my burger up getting ready to take a big, a very large amount of grease drained out of it and made a pool on my plate. I suppose some of it could have been from the Swiss cheese, but certainly not all of it. I'm not sure how they are cooking them, but it was a big turnoff.Burgers are served with a generous portion of fries (I learned yesterday you get free refills), which were crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and perfectly seasoned. I can't imagine getting a refill. Service was fairly good and reasonable quick and at $10, the Loaded Burger is a good value. I think next time I'll try the Bistro version.

While traveling on a motor coach tour of NY City the Holiday Inn was the designated hotel for our stay. Often the restaurants attached to a hotel are not the best but in this instance we couldn't have had a better opportunity for dinning. One night during our visit we were on our own to choose the dinner venue. Many in our group chose Gabriel's and everyone I talked to enjoyed their meals. The cocktail and menu prices were very reasonable. All of our meals were plated well, more than adequate in serving size and most importantly tasted great. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, had a good sense of humor and served our meal without any hint of pretense. If we lived in the area we'd likely dine here often.

5. Andy's Corner Bar
Reviewed By spikedude61
I usually write Tripadvisor reviews for places I visit on vacation, not for places I frequent often. However, I must remedy that after reading Patricia P's misleading review. Andy's is a place for locals and out of towners, from which I am the latter. It is a very welcoming place and I don't find it clicky at all. As for the beers they have a wide range of styles available to suit all tastes, not just IPAs, both on tap and in the bottle and can cooler which has quite an extensive selection. As far as the beers on tap, the owner George is fastidious of his cleaning the beer lines on at least a weekly basis if not more often than that. No other beer bar in the area takes more care to ensure that your pint will taste as it should. Andy's only has 10 taps & one beer engine for the occasional cask conditioned ales they serve, but I would rather have a beer that tastes right than go to a place with dozens of taps with more choices and have a beer served on lines that are not properly cleaned on a regular basis which isn't satisfactory. Andy's tap list is always changing and there is no one beer that is always on tap there. As far as food goes, Andy's doesn't serve food. However, they have menus from many local places that deliver, including an excellent Mexican restaurant next door, Riviera Maya, that delivers your food you order very quickly. They make an outstanding burger and fries for those who don't like Mexican food. As another reviewer stated, Andy's is not a place to go if you want to watch a game as the TVs are small and quite often not even turned on. There is a digital juke box that has an extensive selection of music. The late great beer Guru, Michael Jackson called Andy's the best New York City metropolitan area pub. I couldn't agree more with that assessment. Andy's really is a hidden gem!
