ESPN Zone at New York New York

04/08/2007 Posted by bruce_ester_901

My kids wanted to eat there so even after a 45 minute (promised 15) wait we were still looking forward to an ESPN experience. Not so. 10 minutes to bring drinks??? Another 20 minutes for an appetizer?? Then no food for another 30 minutes and this is getting to be a joke. Then the manager comes over and tells me to relax because we've only been waiting 27 minutes. I'm in the hospitality business and these guys don't have a clue about how to run restaurant. Apparently each server has up to 10 tables and they can't order the main courses until the appetizer has been served. Oh I notice that large groups get right in but groups with 4 or less were having to wait much longer. And pity the people sitting upstairs. The food has to go from the kitchen out to the casino and then up the stairs by hoof. I've never seen anything like it and it sure wouldn't pass the food safety code in my state. This model may work in other venues where there is nothing better to do than hoist beers all afternoon but we waisted almost 2 hours in this place for overpriced and way so average food.

Pros: I never have to eat here again

Cons: reminded each night on tv how crummy this place was

The best pasta I've had anywhere. I go there just for that since I'm not a big sports nut. Good place to go to catch a game. TV;s everywhere. Even in your booths.

Pros: Great pasta

Cons: very busy and noisey

I was very surprised eating here. I thought that it would be wings and pizza with beer! Surprisingly there is a great selection for everyone. Best place for hungry sports junkies and those who love them

Pros: The bathrooms have TV's!

Cons: Kind of rushy when crowded.

ESPN Zone is the best place to watch a game. Especially sundays for NFL football and March Madness. they have 2 HUGE TV's and about 30 other smaller tv's. I could spend all day here. The food isn't that bad either, considering it is a theme/chain establishment.

Pros: lots of TVs, lots of TVs, beer

Great place but it's a gouge if you go there on a regular basis. Good for special occasions but not an everyday sports bar. They need more drink/food specials.

Pros: Lots O' TVs, personal TV @ table, Wings Are Very Good

Cons: Expensive, so-so service, too much attitude

The whole visit was ruined when the bill came. I thought the whole definition of "Sports Bar" meant having a good time watching sports with friends at affordable prices. There were 3 of us there for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours and the bill was $130. We only had appetizers and beer. Give me a break. I have never gone back since.

Pros: ambience

Cons: pricing, service, long wait

The workers are great!! The food there was really good, and the surroundings are awesome. There is T.V.'s all over the place, even at your table!~!!Great for sports fans, bad for wives!!:.) But it is so cool, and at a beautiful hotel

We thought Sunday football at the ESPN Zone would be great. It sucked! Extremely snobby & rube staff. It was $20 the first hour and $10 each additional hour. I could go to a game for what it costs to watch one there. DON'T GO!! WATCH THE GAMES FOR FREE IN THE CASINOS!!

Pros: LOTS OF TVS

Cons: RUDE STAFF, OVERPRICED
