    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!

    Great neighborhood bar food. We had the ricotta toast, the spicy chicken tenders, and the grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was great!

    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!

    Met me wife here in 2014 and bonded over their delicious cocktails and extensive selection of whiskey/bourbon and beers. Came tonight for our 4th anniversary. Forget everything you just read and listen up! The tots and chicken tendies are knee-slappingly delicious.

    What a hidden gem on the UES! Great place for craft beer and classic grub like wings, tater tots, and fried pickles (all pictured), which are made with a twist and all made to perfection! The atmosphere is just right as well, with nice wide circular seating and old school tunes playing in the background.

    Friendly staff with tasty plates! Overall buzzing with lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. Hearty double-patty smashburger and some of the best chicken tenders in the city

    Great Upper East Side spot. Carissa s/p? Was wonderful, friendly & knowledgeable. I know the owners parents in Florida, so glad I was finally able to stop by and imbibe.

    Good service, very kind guy who attended my table. I only had a small draft beer (an American stout, quite nice) and a VERY LARGE bowl of hand-cut fries. $22 including 20% tip. Standard Manhattan price, I guess.

    Enjoy the selection of NE brews on tap, plus the bartender is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Really happy here.

    My favorite neighborhood bar. Strong cocktails. Excellent food. No need to go to one of those mega bars with all the cans. It’s all here.

    I love this place - oh my goodness! The chicken tenders were the best I’ve had in the city. The sauces were amazing. Biscuit was flaky, with honey butter!!! Fries were so hot, fresh, and full of potato - delicious! Food was reasonably priced for the portion. Good selection of draft beers too. Can’t say enough good things!

    The heavily tattooed female bartender here has a horrible attitude. Must have personal issues that she takes out on patrons. Drinks are seriously diluted and the food is below average. If I could rate this place a negative 5 - I would. Don’t waste your money here.

    My favorite beer bar in Manhattan. Great selection and nice atmosphere. Food is pretty good too

    Ok so the chicken tenders are AMAZING! Very fresh and hot and crispy. It’s s small menu that has a lot of southern inspiration. The biscuits with the honey butter are melt in your mouth good. The cocktails are nice and they are strong. If your in to watching sports games this is the place for you. If you just want to sit in the corner and do your own thing, this is also the place for you.

    After a bitter experience at somewhere else, we followed the Best Fries in NY list on internet and ended up at Bondurants. Oh my! We were so glad that karma brought us here 😂 beers, fries (BEST FRIES!), house sauces, burger, etc. Everything was incredibly delicious! The waitress was so friendly and attentive too. It was just a very pleasant experience and definitely coming back to Bondurants with more friends.

    Had a good time at this bar. Good food. Service was great and the staff made sure we were looked after. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.

    Bondurant's is a great spot just off the corner that simultaneously feels vibrant and populated but also subtle and calm. It is dimly lit and romantic (everyone looks cool by candlelight), but still feels modern. They have an excellent craft beer list, and the food is great. Seriously look at these burgers. You're going to write to your mom about them.

    Great bar for an afterwork drink or weekend bite. They always have seasonal options which keeps things fresh

    Great, friendly service. Lotta different bourbon to choose from. The finger food is hit and fresh.

  • 5/5 Samuel Douglas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely an incredible burger! I hate ordering burgers at restaurants because they rarely get it right… this place absolutely hit it out of the park! Service was great as well. Staff was friendly and food came out quick! Definitely recommend this place & yes I will definitely be going back !

    Interesting food choices. Seems they have a Southern slant as they had shrimp and grits. Comfortable and efficient service.

    Went out barhopping on a Thursday night for my girlfriend's birthday and ended up here for about an hour (1am-2am). Place was cool, very mellow, had decent music, and an attentive bartender. Drinks were great (nice beer selection and good cocktails). Not the cheapest joint but not completely unreasonable either. It's a little small so if it got more crowded on a weekend I might not want to be crammed in there but if the crowds were small and chill like tonight then it's a great little spot. Also sorry the picture isn't great but it's the only one I really took 🤷‍♂️
