“ We really just love this place. We live in the area and have been eating here for probably 10 years or more and each time we are always amazed by how consistently delicious the food is! Such a welcoming vibe with friendly service. We have eaten plenty of burgers and their Penny Burger is the best! as are their fries! Whether you have a salad, salmon, steak, sandwich, burger, pancakes, French toast, Bloody Mary etc- they are all top quality and delicious!! Hands down our favorite place ”
“ I've eaten here for lunch a couple of times and everything has been good. The fried chicken sandwich, the penny burger and the BLT are delicious. I especially like the Love Shack drink. Contains, prosecco, raspberry and I believe vodka. ”
“ This place had such good music on Saturday night! We danced our hearts out. The bartender Thomas was so sweet and made us some good tequilas drinks. We will definitely be back! ”
“ My friend and I intended on eating somewhere else but passed by on our walk. We saw how cute and rustic it looked inside, liked their menu display outside, and decided to try it out. It was honestly probably better than our first choice! Everything was so yummy and the service was so friendly and warm. We will be back to try that lava cake, though. ”
“ I have been here twice already in the last 2 weeks. Great happy hour deals and daily specials (for example, 5 espresso martinis on Wednesdays after 4pm and 5 Aperol Spritz on Thursdays after 4pm). The food is really good too, would recommend the firecracker shrimp and wings. I've only had appetizers but I will be back to try the main dishes. Try to get reservations in advance if you can as it gets busy in the evening. ”
“ Almost a week ago now, I proposed to my girlfriend where we first met years ago, namely at The Penny Farthing (she said yes!). That (yes) notwithstanding, I couldn't have pulled off the proposal without the help of Penny's general manager and absolute angel, Hanna. She, along with her wonderful staff, made it a truly memorable experience for us. From the very beginning when I spoke to Hanna about my plan, her enthusiasm and excitement warmed my heart and provided me with relief, knowing that I had a welcome partner as part of my plan. She accommodated my every request, ensured that all went as planned, and paid attention to every detail, while also going above and beyond the call of duty. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Hanna was. I am truly indebted to her and thank her from the bottom of my heart. Go and enjoy the environs of Penny! Rest assured, knowing that there is a caring human soul looking out for you there. ”
“ Best lemon drop martini ever! Charlotte and Shannon were absolutely amazing and so friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a nice lunch and a cold drink with friends. My first time in NY and they made me feel right at home! ”
“ This place was great!! We walked in by accident and right huge smiles from everyone since we walked in. The very first thing we saw was this waitress holding some wings that looked amazing!!! It was a Sunday brunch so I thought it was gonna be chaotic but no. Service was ok. They took a little while to get to the table but I think there were only 2 waitresses for the whole restaurant. We got the avocado toast and the chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious! I really liked the ambiance aaaaand to top it off they have tvs all over so you can get brunch and catch the games!!! Definitely coming back ”
