Reviews for B&H Dairy in New York, NY
B & H Dairy - Kosher Vegetarian Joint on 2nd Avenue. If you want to eat at a real deal New York icon, you gotta come check out... this diner. I believe they have been around since 1938. Its an incredibly tight squeeze inside and the feel immediately is outof a classic 70-80s old Manhattan movie, from the counters, the kitchen and the staff working the grills. And if you can,absolutely sit at the counter and not at a table. The food is good, but the staff is even better, quintessential New Yorkers, that would be hard to find anywhere else. The experience here is just as much the people who work there as much as thefood. All the classic items of a Jewish Deli, Omelets, Challah bread, blintzes, potato pancakes, yada yada. They also sell TSHIRTS that say: "Challah! Por favor" $20 bucks, I m going to get one the next time I go back. There is a line cook at thecounter that is latino and he appears to have been there forever, I presume that why they have a catch phrase, Challah PorFavor... again, sit by the counter and get a show from him. The place is so tiny its very difficult to score a seat, forgetSunday mornings, I was able to snag a counter seat on a Sat morning around 11 AM. BTW: I ordered the 'Smoked Whitefish melt",they grill the Challah and stuff the whitefish in between, and OMG, the grilled Challah with the smoky whitefish was fantastic. Read more
Incredible value and hearty food! This hole in the wall diner has that classic feel to it (been around for over 70 years so... makes sense) and super friendly service. Food is made fresh in front of your eyes the moment you order. We got the B&H SpecialOmelette and the Challah French toast - both generous servings too. The prices simply don?t reflect how good this place is! Read more
Not fancy by any means, but the food speaks for itself. The cheese Blintzes were perfectly crispy on the outside and the cheese... was light and fluffy. The cold borscht was flavorful and it came with a dollop of fresh sour cream. The menu is all dairy (andkosher) so don't expect bacon cheese burgers. (You can get those anywhere). If you want to sample delicious and authenticEastern European recipes, B &H is a great place to choose. Highly recommended Read more
Our server whom i can only assume as being the owner was very funny and accomodating. The good quality food was not reflective... of the cheap price point and worth the trip from anywhere. A genuine NYC breakfast experience in the heart of Manhattan. Read more
Nice location and classic deli vibes. Had the challah sandwiches and these were great. Tuna melt was fantastic. Also had the... fried flounder but this was a bit tasteless. Also had the matzo ball soup and this was really not good in our opinion - didn?tlike the flavours at all. Perhaps however it was authentic/good but just not to my palate! Read more
This place is great! really homely food, well priced as portions are huge, it's quick service and tastes really good! Had a load... of things, but the borsht soup and latkehs were stand-out Read more
This is THE spot for blintzes, pierogis, and Jewish staples. They?re a vegetarian spot with a ton of classics and some unique... options too. The food is so delicious (their blintzes are an obsession of mine) and the restaurant itself has perfect old schoolcharm. The space is small, the cook at the behind the counter flat top grill can reach the counter seating and even the tablesto hand you your food. It?s a no frills spot that continues to serve up amazing food with really great people working there. Read more
This place screams authenticity and there really isn't a better word for it. You are shoulder to shoulder with all the locals... who know about this gem and it's always so crowded for good reason. The wait stuff is incredibly friendly and QUICK. The pricesare almost too good to be true, and the portions are more than filling. Everything tastes fresh and I highly recommend thejuices. Read more
