Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Blue Dog Cookhouse And Bar is a cozy gem in the Theater District, perfect for pre-show dining. Guests rave about its "delicious food," "great service," and inviting atmosphere. While the space is small and can be "cramped," outdoor seating offers a lovely alternative. Reservations are recommended for this popular spot.

    Food and waiter were good. I’m giving it 2 stars since we were explicitly told that we only had an hour despite having a reservation, and the food was rushed out to us. Extremely crammed; folks going to the bathroom were lining up right by our table.

    Everything we had was delish! The dining room’s a little tight, though. I would have liked fewer people seated at the communal table. Until the pre-theater diners left, it was really noisy. Also, it was a very cold night outside and the dining room was a little drafty/chilly. And extra symbols on the menu noting gluten-free options would be helpful. The service was great, tho, and all the food we tried was sensational!

    The food was incredible. The homemade pasta was flavorful with perfect portion sizes. The initial service was slow, we sat down and waited 15-20 minutes before the waiter took our drink order. Once we got the drinks, they were delicious- we recommend the Green Dream! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Keep in mind that if you don’t want to sit a stable with other guests you may want to specify that in your reservation. We sat at long large table with 2 other parties- we didn’t have a problem with this. Overall, an enjoyable experience once we got our drinks.

    Great after theatre meal- easy, friendly, quick service, delicious burgers. It was also nice to opt for roasted brussel sprouts instead of fries- which, btw, looked awesome. Good cocktail options; small but sufficient beer selections.
