Friendly service, good for groups and low key. Tasty Hamptons inspired eats incl lobster rolls $29, jalapeño tater tots and creamy crab dip. Skip pigs in a blanket, and chewy buffalo wings.

Maybe the greatest sandwich of all time-- let me introduce you to the Ditch Dog... 2 well done hot dogs with Mac n Cheese on top with a perfect bun served with crispy fries---and the beer is ice cold!
M MarkovOctober 25, 2015
Don't believe the lukewarm rating!! GREAT happy hour! Tacos are tasty, tater tots are the tits, and solid drink specials. This place is a hidden gem. Almost guaranteed space for your group after work

This seafood shack excels at lobster rolls, clams stuffed with chorizo, and pickled anchovy salad in an intense lemon dressing. Read more

The Ditch Dog is the best thing I ever had and I get it every year for my bday. Two hot dogs with Mac and cheese on each dog all on a bed of fries. Yumm

The lobster roll is good and generous, but has too much seasoning for my taste. The fries that come with it are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

the deviled eggs. the ditch dog: mac and cheese on a hot dog on a bed of fries. remember as a little kid when you could only have one of those for dinner?
Tasting TableMay 4, 2012
Try the lobster roll, a perfect balance of succulent Maine lobster, house-made garlic aioli, Old Bay seasoning, celery, green onion and tarragon. A delicious contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more

Do you love Mac ‘n Cheese? Do you love Hot Dogs? Then you simply must order a Ditch Dog (a hot dog smothered with delicious mac ‘n cheese).

The roasted oysters are drippy, warm and delicious, and come topped with savory garlic butter. Read more

Come for the Surfer Sundays (and Mondays) for their $30 Lobster bake. Any other time, come for their Lobster Roll, Mac ‘N Cheese or Cajun Shrimp & Andouille.
ReserveFebruary 10, 2016
Drippy, buttery and delicious, this is a most comforting way to serve them. Filling and warming to the toes, could there be a more perfect oyster dish for fall? Read more

If you are here for dinner and ready to EAT get the shrimp and grits. Best thing hands down. And I've eaten 75% of the menu.
Melanie W.January 20, 2013
Not a lot of tables, and the front turns into more of a bar, but it doesn't disrupt your dinner. Service was good. The salmon, Brussels sprouts, and grits are amazing!
Gretchen MurphyDecember 29, 2016
Head over to Ditch Plains before 7 pm for a good selection of happy hour specials. $5 Sangria is my go-to.
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 20, 2014
Came here for brunch! Really enjoyed their Bloody Mary! Had their eggs Benedict which had crab meat on it! Cute spot!
Gansevoort Hotel GroupApril 8, 2011
Get the crab dip and lobster roll or try the infamous ditch dogs (macaroni and cheese topped hotdogs)! Really cool space with great casual food - you'll definitely enjoy every bite of it.
Jen BergSeptember 13, 2012
Great neighborhood spot, never disappointed. Service can be spotty and they need to add their grilled cheese onto the dinner menu. So good.

The Spicy Tecate is one of my favorite drinks in NYC, great for brunch. "How spicy is it?" you ask? It's pretty spicy, but not overbearing.
Kevin MorseApril 8, 2013
Friend recommended this place to me and I was not led astray! Try the Ditch Dogs! Amazing!
Ashley RoseOctober 17, 2015
BLOODY MARY! I won't judge you if you get one at midnight. They're always good (and spicy).
MarcMarch 20, 2013
Solid salmon dish. Brussel sprouts are unique and delicious. Also recommend spicy pork meatballs (def spicy)

Eat a Ditch Dog aka a hot dog covered with creamy mac & cheese while riding a motorcycle that’s shaped like a T-Rex because, America. Read more
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012
Ditch Plains injects a little Midwest-style inventiveness into the heart of the West Village. May we present, the mac-and-cheese-covered heart attack hot dog. It kind of had to happen, didn’t it? Read more
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 16, 2015
The Bitches Say: B. The food was tasty, but I expected more exciting eats from this fun restaurant theme. Great for the under age five set! Read more

Great place! Service was very friendly and my tuna burger was diabolically good!
Haley JonesJanuary 13, 2013
Blody marys are intense. Horseradish, pepper and spice punch you in the mouth. Spicy tecate is the bomb.
CompassJuly 23, 2013
Though it looks fancy, Ditch Plains is a comfortable spot to snack on seafood-shack cuisine and burgers.
Courtney SmithJanuary 27, 2016
This place is a find! Great food at normal prices in the West Village.
Shane N.January 26, 2014
I never had to find a strategic way to eat a hot dog till I had a ditch dog...it was so worth the effort.

In keeping with its seafood focus, Ditch Plain gives away saltwater taffy to its patrons. The rainbow-colored candies come in a glass along with the check.
Staci YoungJanuary 30, 2013
Great deviled eggs with fried oysters! And the mint chip ditch wich was awesome
Justin SchneiderApril 4, 2015
get the ditch dogs with bacon. do it.
Thom PulliamOctober 31, 2013
Order the Sloppy Bitch. It's an off menu combo of one Ditch Dog and one Sloppy Dog.
Christina CosterJune 25, 2015
Good for late night seafood eats- lobster roll FTW!

Don't get the ditch wich, it's literally a foil wrapped ice cream sandwich. Might as well go to the grocery and get a whole box of ice cream sandwiches.
The Wall Street JournalJuly 12, 2010
Nothing on the lunch menu costs more than $15. On a recent visit, the daily po'boy was made with five fat, juicy fried oysters. A plentiful BLT is summer comfort food defined. Read more
Nicolette RomeroMay 22, 2015
Come for a quick drink. The vodka sodas were on point. 👌
Caitlin ClementsMay 23, 2017
$5 @ 5 (from 5-7) $5 beer, tacos, snacks.

Solid staple neighborhood place. Diverse menu. The salads are pretty solid if you want to be healthy.
Veronica HSeptember 30, 2013
Decent tuna burger. Get the homemade cheese tots. To.die.for.

The French toast looks like a tree trunk but its actually pretty fluffy inside. Order it, you won't regret it.
Jonathan CohenApril 16, 2013
Nice bartender. Uncool vibe. With flat panel TVs going and bad music. Good cocktail though.
Katie Smith-AdairApril 29, 2013
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, $1 oysters until they run out, beginning at 4 p.m.
Laila AhmadiApril 6, 2012
Yummy oysters from VA. But the seafood cobb salad is for people who don't like to eat salad.
Meg FarmerMarch 10, 2015
Only came for pre-dinner drinks, but the scene was lively and the service was friendly. Seems worthy of stopping in again.
Jay FieldsAugust 30, 2010
Get the Ditch Dog. Also, go on a Friday or Saturday and sit at the bar. Rob (the bartender) is fantastic.
