Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen

“Menu is great, sloppy joe fries, mac n cheese, even salads for your "no burger" friend.”

“Bobby Flay challenged Schnippers to a Sloppy Joe throwdown, and while Bobby Flay won the challenge it was not going to deter me from trying it out.”

“Only neg: we went to the one close to Times Square which is swarming with tourists so it may take a while to get your food.”

  1. I have been to other Schnippers a few times but it has been a since I been at the Time Square joint since the PABT and my bus is across the street so I would just go home and get something to eat there instead.  Although most lunch eateries in the Port Authority/Times Square area are dumps and tourist traps not to mention overpriced, this place is more reasonable and the food is OK.  They have a wide selection of food but the grilled chicken is a good option if you don't want to do burgers. t. My only complaint is how small the portion size is for let's say Mac & Cheese.

  2. Great location in the theater district (in the NY Times building, across from the port authority station), this place is always crowded (a good sign), reasonably priced, and delicious!

    I highly recommend the chicken fingers, which sound like kid's food, but is really some of the best fried chicken you'll get anywhere.

    Also the mac 'n cheese and pulled pork combo–yum!

    Even though it's crowded it's still fast. Bright, nice staff, good design.

    You can only eat at Shake Shack so often, so give this place a try–you'll be glad you did!

  3. I have been to Schnipper's a couple of times for lunch. It is quite pricey but I heard if you download the app, they offer discounts. I usually get chicken fingers/crispy chicken sandwich, fries or the sweet potato fries. Depending when you go there might be a long wait but the food is really good.  The staff is usually efficient and nice.

  4. The salads are good here. It's probably the only thing that I would get here now because I got food poisoning after eating the fish tacos and didn't go back for about 10 months.

  5. Located directly across the street from the Port Authority station, Schnipper's Quality Kitchen serves up good ol' American fast food with an emphasis on freshness.

    The menu is extensive, including burgers, fries, chicken fingers, salads, and milkshakes. I decided to go with the two items I see are most popular among my fellow Yelpers here, which were their Mac&Cheese and their Sloppy Joe's.

    The Mac&Cheese was very creamy and decadent feeling. Certainly a lot better than what you would expect for a fast food joint. My only complaint is how small the portion size is. Come on guys, don't cheat your patrons like that!!

    Their Sloppy Joe's was even better. Overstuffed with meaty beef, with diced peppers and the right degree of spicyness, it really took my back to my childhood of awaiting the special school lunch days when they would serve Sloppy Joe's.

    The only slight downside here is that they charge rather high for their food. At the end of the day, it is all still fast food, and you shouldn't have to shell out an average of $15 just for some food and drink.

  6. It doesn't matter where I am, I will travel for this schnippers. So many freshly made options. On a nice Friday, don't bother, the crowds are crazy, tourists and people around can be a lot. On a week day, go around 115 to get a seat and be comfortable. Great for an office getaway at lunch time.

  7. I have been to Schnippers a few times but it has been a while.  Although most lunch eateries in the Port Authority/Times Square area are tourist traps and overpriced, this place stil nails it.  They have a wide selection of food from the hearty fried goodies to tasty salads.  They even have beer and wine.  I especially appreciate that they have table turner wipes to wipe tables especially during the busy lunch rush when all the workers are diligently completing other thasks such as sendin food out to the table.  I enjoyed a salad with grilled chicken and an order of sweet potato fries (although I am not a fan of maple dipping sauce) and everyone else at the table enjoyed a quick lunch bite from fish tacos to the fried chicken sandwich and onion rings.  It also seemed like a good place to have deliver if you really cannot get away from work.
    I will definitely return for a lunch date in the near future.

  8. Average quality food, but a large menu. You're bound to find something you'd be willing to eat. The space is clean with plenty of seating in a busy part of the city.
