Best

Very entertaining! Especially for children. My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed. This place is described as "spooky"

Worst

I used to love this place, many years ago. It was fun, the food was OK, and the prices were decent. But it's declined sharply. After a long wait, you'll get shown to a table where...

The worst food yet 2/29/2004

This is an expensive place for the kind of food that you are getting. The meals are hardly edible. I took 6 kids there and only 1 was able to complete their meal. The food need to be more palatable. I wish I had went to McDonalds. Pros: Nice Area, ambience is for kids Cons: , expensive more

the most annoying dinner I've ever had 7/15/2003

My parents were here from MI so I thought it'd be fun to take them somewhere with entertainment+good food. Note to self: entertainment isn't a bunch of loud people with fake accents hovering around, screaming in your ear while you're trying to look at the menu. In short, they were so annoying i wanted to shoot myself in the head, and our waitress was braindead. She forgot to bring out our appetizers until halfway thru dinner, when she remembered + asked if we still wanted them. What? Of course not! My apetite was long gone. I had the tuna, which tasted like dead fish that laid in the sun for 3 wks. i've had better mashed potatoes from a box, and the vegetables were soaked in oil. The fam didn't like their food either. If I ever pass by this place again, I'll try not to puke on myself. Pros: Located by the subway Cons: Awful Service, Awful Food, Annoying Actors more

$$$ 7/3/2003

Only two words - overpriced McDonald. Or, tourist trap. Unusual decor but doesn't worth the $$$. Go to Slaughtered Lamb Pub. Also unusual, but cheaper. more

for kids 4/28/2003

This place has horrible food, I dont think i have tried anything on the menu that was worth recommending to any of you that might visit. The decor maybe great for young kids but as an adult this place was an horrible experiance, it didn't bring the kid in me. Service was extreamly slow, the wait is ridiculous. Don't bother going here, there are so many better places in this very fine city. more

AWFUL EXPERIENCE 2/2/2003

Absolutely the worst experience at this restaurant on Feb 1, 2003. Our family from Indiana came to celebrate their daughter's 16th birthday. After waiting from 5PM to 6:00PM outside, we were let in. We were told to go up to the bar on the 4th floor. The bartender ignored us for 30 mins because she was too busy. They told us we would be seated in 45 minutes by the theatrical acts. Around 7:00, they said we would be seated in a corner table on the 1st floor. Subsequently, some other family was seated there. After I yelled at a manager on the ground floor as we were leaving in utter disgust, he swore that he would work something out. We were told we would be seated by 7:15PM. We left at 7:20 PM. This restaurant is the most disorganized place we've been. Never again! more

F-U-N! 1/19/2003

The food isn't the best.. they could have a little more variety but the staff is outrageous! great place to go for a birthday or almost any event. The best location is the avenue of americas. more

Go elsewhere!! 12/20/2002

1. They only accept American Express. 2. Slow service 3. Seriously overpriced. I paid $16 for what is basically a philly cheesesteak.... 4. Entertainment? It was hardly worth the extra $2 entertainment charge....Aren't the food prices enough? 6. $6 for a bottle of beer? Ouch. Overall, go elsewhere....A dinner for two shouldn't cost $85 (w/ tip) for basic American fare. more

NEVER again 12/18/2002

Entertainment was OK at best but was very loud. We went for lunch (party of 8). We waited between 50 minutes and one hour for our meals after being seated. Our meals were cold when we got them. The waiter asked us to hand him our plates and was put out that we asked to see a manager. The manager took 15 minutes to come see us to hear our complaint. He said he would look into it but never came back to us. Instead each of our 4 kids was given a useless, cheap, treat bag. STAY AWAY! Cons: slow service, cold food more

Scary...not in a good way. 11/12/2002

I used to love this place, many years ago. It was fun, the food was OK, and the prices were decent. But it's declined sharply. After a long wait, you'll get shown to a table where you might be able to see a tiny bit of the action (and there's less action every year). The service is slow. The food is BAD...my nachos were a pile of crumbs under a few whole chips. And the prices have risen to four-star levels. AVOID. Pros: Fun theme Cons: Overpriced, Bad food, Bad service more

Fun, but might not be worth it.. 10/24/2002

When we arrived there was no free table so we waited at the bar for quite a long time. Finally we were seated and then were told they only accept cash or American Express. I really would have been angry if we had no cash. Our waiter wasn't attentive at all. The food was expensive and not worth the price. The entertainment was enjoyable. You were afraid to take a bite of food for fear that you would start to crack up. It was very funny and I enjoyed it, but am not sure it was worth the price or poor service. Pros: Funny, enjoyable Cons: costly, poor service more

Not Even if I was Paid to Go 10/20/2002

Sometimes you are forced, due to circumstances to go to a restaurant where the food is secondary to the ""ambience"". At the Jekyll & Hyde Club, it isn't even secondary - it's an afterthought with a bad aftertaste. The entertainment may have been of inerest when the club was new and things worked but most of the gimmicks and gadgets are broken and unrepaired. To say the service was bad would be an outrageous compliment - the staff clearly doesn't care. Pros: absolutely none more

Join the Insanity! 10/14/2002

This is still my absolute favorite place to go in the City. For all those with an unusual sense of humor, The Jekyll & Hyde Club Restaurant is the place to go! The food is good (although a bit overpriced), the entertainment is quite amusing, and the atmosphere is perfect for an evening of fun. Great for cast parties and unwinding after productions wrap, hanging out with old friends, or showing your out-of-towner friends a good time. Pros: Great staff, Lots of fun surprises, Not your usual place Cons: Pricey more

DISAPPOINTMENT 10/11/2002

AVOID this restaurant! My husband and I took our 9 yr. old son here on a recent trip to NYC. We were seated at a table w/ a large robot next to us. The hostess stated that we shoudn't be alarmed because the robot would ""come to life"" during the meal and that many people in costume would come around to our table and entertain us. Much to our son's disappointment, neither thing ever happened(we were there 2 hrs). Also, the service was TERRIBLE - the server blamed everything on the kitchen. The last straw came when we got the bill. We were charged a ""entertainment fee"" AND this place doesn't take Visa or MC, only Discover BUT they did have their own ATM machine downstairs we could use which had a $3 fee. Gee thanks! All of us left that night feeling disappointed and angry. Cons: no entertainment, no Visa or MC, bad service more

Scary bad, not scary good 9/29/2002

The nachos were good, the food was so-so. The bathrooms were disgusting and small. The entertainment was mostly for kids, and the service was slow. I wouldn't go back again. Go if you have kids (not too young) -- they'll like it. Pros: Decor Cons: Service, Food more

Get Scared Again!! I will be back 7/8/2002

This place was fantastic. There were plenty of young kids having a blast here, and plenty of older kids as well. The characters were very entertaining, and while the prices are a little steep, it is well worth the cost. Pros: Fun, ambience Cons: Bar Service, Price more

Fiendishly Good Time 5/20/2002

It's a bit theme-park-y, but I thoroughly enjoyed this place. It helps that I'm a fan of the source material --old black and white movie serials, ""pulps"" about adventurers and their clubs, etc. The food was decent, as I recall, but not super-memorable. The place could get a bit loud, but I loved every bit of the atmosphere. Pros: Great atmosphere Cons: Crowds easily more
