Broadway 49 Cafe - Chicken Planks

Inside the New York City Crowne Plaza Hotel sits the Broadway 49 lounge. It is not a complete service restaurant, just bar food type food. However, I found myself sitting there and ordered some chicken planks and french fries. In a few minutes my order was paced on my table.

The chicken tenders were surprisingly good. They were hot, lightly breaded, juicy, and seasoned just right. I hate when the batter is thick and the chicken is wafer thin. The proportion for these tender was good. The fries were hot, well cooked, and tasted good. A pickle, tomato, lettuce, and some dipping sauce was added. A diet Coke completed the order. What you see is exactly what I was expecting to see. And that's usually a good thing.

The service was adequate, the waitress friendly, and the food was good. The cost was $15 dollars which in New York City is acceptable.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 3 out of 5 shots and recommends Broadway 49 Cafe for dinner.

    Problem is, you are in Times square. To go anywhere is a 10-15 dollar taxi ride and a 10-15 taxi ride back. That’s 30 dollars before you even order. They have you and they know it.

    Malcolm, yes, it gets a passing grade, a 3 out of 5. If you found yourself on Times Square, $15 dollars is a very cheap meal.

    Agreed, 15 bucks seem steep. And it looks like something that could be served here in Sweden. Which is not a compliment

    I like the pickle though. Proper pickle, that.
