Great spot for a meal after visiting the American Museum of Natural History. Super kid-friendly, great service. Weekend lunch has long wait times, come early or late.
In love with the Crispy Fish Sandwich, a lunch/brunch only menu item. All the good is delicious, staff is great. Lots of room for big parties and families.
Julie WaldMay 30, 2012Thursday nights in the summer: enjoy their awesome crab boil! Basically all you can eat Carolina blue crabs, corn on the cob, jalapeno hush puppies and potato wedges. Dare you to leave not stuffed.
MichelleFebruary 10, 2013Sloppy Ditch Dogs: perfectly toasted buns & tasty Sloppy Joe topping, but the actual dogs tasted microwaved, and the Mac N' Cheese topping was bland. Jalapeño-Cheddar Tots and Cheddar Biscuits, YUM!
Great service! Excellent food. Get the jalapeno & cheddar tater tots! And if you're lucky enough to drop in on a Wednesday, get the fried chicken special!
Joy LiuMay 25, 2013The most unique/delicious french toast I've ever had. Perfectly goo-y on the inside and flame torched crunchy on the outside.
Lisa HoffmanJanuary 26, 2014Amazing fish and chips. Good on a cold winter day. The Bloody Mary was out of this world
Village VoiceMay 31, 2012Mmm, crab boils. Ditch Plains offers New England-style boils every Thursday night: served with jalapeno hush puppies, potato wedges and corn on the cob.
weeSpringSeptember 22, 2013Lots of stroller parking, and there are TVs at every booth that they'll happily tune to cartoons. Best part? They take reservations... for BRUNCH.
Jill SchnittMay 20, 2013Game plan: start with the jalapeño cheddar tater tots and cap off your meal with a chocolate ditch-wich.
Dana VogelJuly 30, 2013Chopped seafood Cobb salad was good but the dressing is too heavy. Fried pickles were soggy. Not enough pickle crunch! Tuna burger was great and the lobster roll is huge and chunky. Service was good
Maureen MartinoJanuary 13, 2014Almost no kids here on a Sunday night. Amazing Montauk Mule (like a Moscow Mule but UP in a martini glass!!!)! I had 2!- If you can't make up your mind between the Ditch Dog or Sloppy Dog, then ask for the Sloppy Ditch; one of each.
Abigail GulloNovember 27, 2011The oyster crackers are the bomb! Its sick! They let you put anything on them...Anything! They are baked in Vermont so you KNOW its good.
Courtney R.March 1, 2013Must get: English margarita, fish tacos and finish with the Ditch'witch. Dulce de leca or vanilla. Yum!
Allie CarieriAugust 16, 2014A surprisingly great Bloody Mary! Spicy and flavorful, and served with sweet pickle chips
Brilliant for kids and lots of tofu and veggie options for the vegans amongst us. Great service is the icing.
Rodrigo SalazarFebruary 24, 2013I HATE PICKLES but the ones on the burger here were sauteed in onions. dont know what possessed me to take a bite (never eat them) and WOW! amazing
Michelle SchwartzNovember 9, 2011You know when you get a salad & have to hunt for the morsels of shrimp? This is not that salad. Amazing & shrimp in every bite.
Sylvia SuhMarch 16, 2013The jalapeño and cheddar tater tots are good. We got the ditch and sloppy dogs and seafood chopped salad. Both terrible. Fish was stinky and old in salad
RyanSeptember 12, 2014Most spacious restaurant on the UWS. Brunch is a good bet but don't get a ton for the money.
Roger SchonfeldJanuary 6, 2013Impressed by their wait-free Sunday brunch. Great food variety. Even more easy-going than Landmarc.
get the special of the day - whatever it is, you can be sure they put a lot of thought into making it great!- Michelle SchwartzNovember 9, 2011On the fence about grits? Get them! Piping hot, cheesy, and super-creamy (but not runny). So good.
Eric SimpsonNovember 13, 2011Got the crab dip and the mussels...both were amazing...calamari salad was a little heavy on the dressing
Ellen ShellJuly 20, 2013If excessive kid friendly is annoying for you, this place will drive you nuts. As soon as they arrive they start screaming.
- Village VoiceFebruary 14, 2013Ditch Plains (& 50+ other eateries) will be sampling their fare at our 2013 Choice Eats tasting event on 3/19 - can't wait!
Juan PerezSeptember 9, 2011I was excited to try it. Don't let the menu or the tips fool you. If you know food, here its surprisingly on the bland side.
Friendliest & fun staff - nothing better than the Spicy Shrimp salad & surfers punch
lizzy bJuly 23, 2011The mint chocolate or chocolate ditchwich (ice cream sandwiches) are both amazing treats!
Hiram VecianaDecember 10, 2011Surprisingly good Sangria! Jalapeño Cheddar Tater Tots also recommended
Bill HartnettAugust 21, 2011The smoked tofu soft tacos are terrific. Only drawback is I wanted 2 orders
Ditch dog, mac n cheese and jalapenos n cheese tater tots! ....yuuuuum!
Worry about sodium intake some other night and get the fried pickles plus pickle martini. Makes the fries taste that much better
