Rodeo Bar

This was possibly the worst food I've had at a restaurant in New York City. Everything was extremely salty, overly breaded, and just poor quality. The bison burger (ordered medium rare) was so overcooked that it was like eating shoe leather. The servers were so busy chatting with each other that it was almost impossible to get a second beer. Even getting the check was an ordeal. With so many great restaurants in New York, don't waste your money here.

Go here pretty often. Great place to grab a cold beer (or margarita) and a delicious chili cheese burger. Their nachos are really good too. The atmosphere is right for this type of food. Service is always friendly and fast. There's a reason I keep going back, perfect experience when just kicking back.

Five of my friends and I went to Rodeo Bar on a Saturday evening, arriving around 10 PM. We asked if there was a table available since we were planning ordering some appetizers, and we were immediately seated at a table in the room with the small stage. A band started playing around 10:30 PM. Four of us ordered drinks, and we all shared a couple appetizers. Everything was good, but we couldn't help but notice that our waitress had a serious attitude. We chalked it up to her having a bad day and let it go until, about an hour after we had been seated, she approached us and said that there was a 2 drink minimum per person per set that the band played. I explained to her that we did not request to be in the room with the band and that we had not been told of the drink minimum when we were seated to which she angrily replied "Well, I'm telling you NOW!" I said we would be leaving shortly once everyone had finished their food and drinks, and she told me she was bringing the check immediately. She brought it over when one person was only halfway through her chicken fingers. It's a shame because I've been to Rodeo Bar a million times and never had an experience like this. I hope they do a better job hiring so their staff won't turn off loyal customers just because one member of their 6 person party isn't drinking.

Brunch is great at Rodeo. Everything kind of tastes the same but I highly recommend! The corn chowder also rocks. I've seen a few reviews here that are pretty negative. I have to give Rodeo a thumbs up for great drinks and some pretty awesome apps. I think the best entree on the menu is their steak fajitas. Nicely seasoned, extremely tasty.

I had a burrito the first time and it was okay, not great. The second time I had the chicken tortilla soup and how ironic, not one tortilla in that soup! It was over cooked chicken in spicy broth. Yuck. The drinks are great and the appetizers are good, but don't eat a meal there.

i love wings, & Rodeo's wings are my favorite. order them well done, or ask for then on the crispy side

I purchased a certificate online and I am so sorry I didn't read the reviews first. We ordered the ribs and they were subpar. They were dry and tasted terrible. The sauce they serve on the side wasn't good either. The potatoe salad was gross. They gave me a pick of corn bread that looked like someone had eaten part of it. I am not a picky eater, but this food was really something one wouldn't think they'd get in New York. Thank goodness, we only had one bad experience while we were on vacation. I wouldn't recommend it unless you find something better to eat.
