    Really did a good decision by booking a table for brunch last Saturday. Alaysia took great care of us right from the beginning and seated our friend ahead of us in a pretty good table. There's obviously so many brunch places here and this one definitely meets the criteria for delicious food, fantastic vibe and music, and warm and attentive service. I think the owner himself also personally checked on us a few times even wanting to move our table if we thought we needed more space. Thank you for that! Doesn't go unnoticed! Now the food! Three of us all went for Chicken and Waffles and it was as good as it looked on the pictures and the reason why we went here tbh. My husband went for the breakfast bacon and cheese burger and he liked it as well. We also went for the 90 min bottomless drink option for & $25 each and I loved that they were always checking if we wanted a refill etc. My friends also enjoyed switching between mimosas, bellinis, and bloody marys. Honestly such an awesome deal. We were also given a compliment round of shots, they'll said just because we were awesome. Awww! Thanks guys, the feeling is pretty mutual! Can't wait to come back and hopefully soon! :)

    Went on my own as soon as I arrived after a long train ride because I was tired and wanted to find a place with good reviews near my hotel. I sat at the bar and had a couple of good bourbon cocktails and a really delicious plate of duck confit carnitas that was surprisingly well-priced for what they brought out. They were playing Bob Ross on the TV. An all around pleasant experience.

    If you're looking for a great bar/restaurant with good food and great service in Hell's Kitchen, New York, this place is definitely worth checking out. During my visit, the food was good, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also nice, and the outdoor seating was a great addition. While I can't speak to the consistency of the food and service, my experience was positive, and I would recommend giving it a try. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal and drinks with friends or family, and the outdoor seating is a nice touch, especially on a beautiful day.

    We loved this place! We were introduced by some friends of ours, and since it's off the beaten path, we would have never found it! Loved the drink prices and the late night fries! We'll be back next trip!

    Great brunch spot, I loved the chicken and waffles. The grits were also pretty authentic as well! The menu has great options and food drinks.

    We are visiting New York City. We walked down restaurant row to grab some lunch on our way back to the apartment and stopped at this place. Service was fabulous and the food was delicious. I ordered shrimp ceviche as an appetizer. My daughter and I got the roasted cauliflower salad. So good! My niece’s hamburger was cooked medium rare, just like she ordered. I would recommend this place to anyone and I’d definitely come back. The only thing that makes me sad is that the brunch menu looks delicious but is only served Saturday and Sunday..and sadly, we leave before then.

    Been here several times. Love it. Great brunch. Good shot/beer special. Love the staff and service. One of the best values in the city. Our “go to” when we don’t know what we want.

    My go-to spot in midtown / Hells Kitchen. I love the outdoor space, year-round. Anthony is my most favorite server, yet all of the staff are so kind and wonderful. The food is delicious, drinks are fantastic and inventive and it has a cozy, local vibe, despite being on Restaurant Row, which is thought to be quite touristy. Wonderful location & a great spot to hit before or after a Broadway show, which I do often. I even had my birthday party there and it was marvelous!

    Our dinner here was delicious! And the service was very friendly. We didn’t expect much of it when we first arrived, but the establishment truly lived up to its high rating! We’d recommend the duck confit (a DIY version of Peking duck or duck taco), the steak frites (oh, that drink rate steak was cooked to perfection, plus the crunch sweet potato fries), and the cocktails (both maple piggy and hold fast dreams were tasty and strong). We will be back to try other dishes!!

    I’ve been to this spot twice now and both times the service was fantastic and super friendly and the food was really good for the price, would definitely recommend. The fish and chips, beef burger and beef and pork tacos are all great, I’ll be back to try more!

    Hold Fast is the place to be in Hells Kitchen. If you’re looking for a quick drink, brunch, dinner, they offer it all!! The staff is attentive, the food is delicious, and the drinks are always flowing. If looking for brunch, We love the bottomless option.

    This is our favorite restaurant/bar in Hell’s Kitchen. My friends and I go weekly, and we rotate between the cocktails and the food. You must try the chicken wings, the deviled eggs, and each of their cocktails. Their bartenders always remember you and it genuinely feels like they always want to be there. Vibey, fun spot, with Hold Fast inspiration on the walls.

    Stopped in with my wife to meet some family visiting from out of town. Cocktails were great and the staff was incredibly friendly. Plenty of seats and a relaxed atmosphere. It was a nice breather from the crowds in Time Square. This is going into the “recommend to friends and family” bucket!

    Always a good place to chill and have a good night with friends! Central location, and the servers, all of them are super nice! Do you know that the bar table has a history? And also they have a secret pocket on one of the banks with a lot of letters! Fav cocktail: wash your damn hands! Spicy and tasty! The steak sandwich is really good, also the guacamole, but not the nachos.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! My husband and I came here from out of town and had the best experience. Rachel was absolutely amazing! She recommended all the right dishes and drinks… let’s just say If this was my neighborhood bar I’d be here every night! Thank you Rachel!

    Friendly staff, great vibes, and delicious food. Everything we ordered was mouth watering. The sesame ahi tuna taco was my favorite with the fried burrata cheese being a close second!

    It’s easy to miss this place as you walk down Restaurant Row, but that would be a shame. It’s a great bar with some of the best cocktails in Hell’s Kitchen. And the food!…elevated far above typical bar food, each dish far exceeds expectations. For example, the tacos are so full of flavor that you’ll crave them. I know I do!

    I mean seriously you can't get it any more right Jason. The conversation, food and atmosphere was just amazing!! What every one deserves when visiting from out of state. Manhattan is a stomping grounds of ours so we know the way of the land. Your restaurant was recommended by a friend of a friend who is a local and I couldn't be any more grateful that we went. Such a relaxed stop before our Broadway show times. The food was beautiful and delicious. The price was all right and thank you for the gluten free options and have it written on the menu. You treated me with all the good you had in you befor even knowing my status on Google reviews. You remembered my name and addressed me properly. I have been in the coustomer service industry for 20 years and it's nice to get some in return. I had no problem tipping way over the amount on the receipt and buying two rounds of beers for the kitchen. I was happy to see the people I was dinning with bought the kitchen a round as well. Jason thank you thank you thank you!! Thanks for not sharing the secrets with us Jason. Finding it ourselves was so much fun! Much love and so much more respect..... great meeting you and I will be back for sure.

    Amazing atmosphere, service and food. We got the bone marrow (seriously worth it and so unique) as well as wings, fries and brussels to share apps for dinner. All of it was so flavorful, cooked well and quickly served. Highly recommend!

    Nice bar and decent food. Sat outside which was really nice. Service was really good too, very attentive and really friendly. Food was very good, I had the loaded fries which were excellent but maybe too much avocado and cheese for my liking which made it a bit too much but nice none the less.

    This is a nice little spot that gives a dive bar feel, but with some cocktails. We had some good drinks and conversations here while waiting for a show. We'd definitely be back if we lived in the area, and it seemed like they got quite a few locals, which was nice.

    Great vibe and ambiance! The bartender Troy was so helpful with drinks and suggestions for food. I loved the Hold Fast to your Dreams, it’s a perfect drink to take your time with and gives the feel of a sweeter old fashioned with a hold fast twist! Food is EXCELLENT I had the steak tacos that were so flavorful and filling, with the Steak Frites. The steak was well marinated, perfectly cooked, and the sweet potato fries were a great compliment. Such a great space for a night out, date, or self love definitely will be back!

    Came here for some drinks before dinner at kochi. Nice, warm, classic neighborhood bar atmosphere with wood and brick decor. They made some nice strong cocktails. I had the hold fast mule with vodka, and my friend had the Don't forget your mask" which was really good too. Great place to grab some drinks and even some food, when in this part of town!
