This is a place where you can get a heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs or a heaping plate of seasonal salads, which makes it perfect for a big, group. Try the chicken meatball! Read more

One of the best meals I've had whilst in New York. Try the specials, and don't think twice about doggy bagging some of your main to make room for an ice cream sandwich - so good!

It's all about the balls. Brunch is a very good option with their daily special balls. You can actually move in this location as there is space.

So happy they've joined the UWS!! Get the "everything but the kitchen sink" salad. You can't go wrong. Recommend with either chicken balls and pesto or spicy pork balls with mushroom 👍👍👍👍

My staple: naked chicken balls w parmesan cream sauce over spaghetti. Add the family jewels. Get a green mkt side and make sure to save room for the ice cream sandwich!! We out chea!!!

A pretty great and spacious outpost of the phenomenal meatball chain - definitely go for the "kitchen sink" plate.

You can't go wrong with any of the staples on this menu, but be bold & try the daily specials! Don't forget dessert where you can pick two different cookies for your ice cream sandwich.

Always check the specials, really good choices. And don't miss their ice cream sandwiches for dessert!

If the Cuban of buffalo balls are in special GET THEM! Also request Tommy as a server, super nice and handsome too.

If you are like me and want you meatballs covered in parm like snow capped mountains, just ask and they will bring you the freshly grated cheese on the side.
AngieJanuary 28, 2016
Chicken meatballs with Parmesan cream sauce over rigatoni was awesome being that I love creamy, cheesy anything. Their service was friendly and efficient!
Ailie ChangMay 6, 2015
Spicy meatball with spicy sauce on top of spaghetti and a side of mashed potatoes. Wish the portions were bigger because it's so delicious.
HectorMarch 20, 2016
Like everyone says, leave room for the ice cream sandwiches. Classic meatball with tomato sauce is the way to go. Skip the drinks here.
Nik DawsonMay 7, 2016
This has been one of my favourite spots for a relaxed dinner. The kitchen sink is so good and so is the hero sub. The icecream sandwiches are amazing.
Deborah RoseApril 14, 2017
Risotto with asparagus and parsley, and chicken meatballs with Parmesan cream sauce. Am in food heaven.
Carlos VillaviejaMay 26, 2015
Meatballs with spaguetti and the sink salad with spice meatballs and tomato. Mashed potatoes are good too. Service is very good.

A bit busy, but just go to George Keeley for a beer while waiting for your table. It's worth it.

Meatballs are really good, but recommend having a side (mashed potatoes or sauteed spinach) with it to be more filling.
Matt ZoufalyMarch 23, 2015
Amazing meat balls. Highly recommend for a nice (and not too pricey) night out!
Martin OngFebruary 1, 2015
Have to try the brown sugar ice cream sandwich. It's heavenly.
Andrew FafoutakisSeptember 8, 2014
Awesome, fresh food, and get yourself a proper Moscow Mule served in a copper cup.
Lindsey HoganMarch 18, 2015
Great homemade tasting meatballs. Nice to be at a place that doesn't offer fries as the standard side. Good for kids too.
johanna marielMarch 27, 2017
new Hell's Kitchen location is soooo beautiful inside-anything balls go here, my fave are the vegetable balls;)
Katie CongletonAugust 24, 2015
The meatballs are really just vehicles for the delicious sauces so mix and match to try everything - you won't be disappointed!
Maarten FuchsJuly 29, 2017
Just awesome! I loved the special meatball with mushroom gravy sauce. I'd recommend taking 2 sides if you are a big eater.
Henry BottjerJuly 25, 2014
I went for takeout. They suggest to wait at bar or outside, they will "find you" but din't believe it when they are busy. Wait about 5-10mins then go check.

Fun place with yummy meatballs. Can't wait to work my way through the menu trying all the possible combinations.
BenFebruary 9, 2015
Meatballs, Jell-O shots, icecream, and a selection of wine and beer. Eclectic, but a great atmosphere.
Vivian RamirezFebruary 13, 2017
Tried and true. This place always delivers on food, drinks, and fantastic service. A staple for sure.

Kitchen sink has hummus and beets and carrot salads

Food was good. Not sure I liked it enough to give it a heart? Was a tad salty. Great staff - make that fantastic staff. A little too noisy.

Great spot for good meatballs, but they surprise you with incredible ice creams sandwiches

If someone in your party has a birthday when you're dining, let your server know and you might get a treat on the house. ;-)

Def get the beef meatball with classic tomato spaghetti and an ice cream cookie sandwich

I go double spicy-- spicy pork balls with spicy meat sauce over greens. A beer with that doesn't hurt.
Kelsey SmithJuly 13, 2015

LES is the OG but it's always great here. Super friendly and unique for the UWS.

the biggest problem, not to know what to get, everything is great!
Rachel IvyJanuary 25, 2015
Great subs, the specials are especially good.
