I've been going to Mason Jar NYC sporadically for two reasons over the course of 2 years. Reason number 1 is that it is about 10 steps away from the Sign Language Center, an amazing school that teaches all levels of American Sign Language (ASL). I like to go here before I get my learning on. Reason number 2 is because I love BBQ.
When I started coming, this place had a large menu where you'd find a variety of sandwiches, salads, burgers and BBQ items. I was a huge fan of one of their salads. I don't know what it was called, but it was a large portion that had fresh mounds of goat cheese and big chunks of deep fried bacon. I mean really now…deep fried bacon on a salad. You can't get much healthier than that!
On my latest trip to this place, I noticed a lot of changes to the menu. After being seated near the large windows at the front of the restaurant, Dennis kindly explained that the restaurant had taken a lot of items off the menu so that they could explore deeper into the world of BBQ.
Dennis, who I assume is a manager/owner (if he's not, someone needs to get that man in a higher position), checked in a few times with my table to make sure everything was going smoothly. It was…
While I waited for a friend to arrive, I got some deviled eggs which came with a small salad. I always though it was hard to mess up deviled eggs, and so far I've been right about this. They tasted great, and the acidity of the salad dressing made everything even better.
When my friend arrived, I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich (without the bread). It came with a small side of coleslaw and a side of my choosing, which was cheesy grits. The chicken was seasoned well, the slaw was crunchy and the grits were…..so damn creamy.
My friend got some type of sausage which he really enjoyed and 2 different types of beer. I know nothing about beer so I have nothing more to say about that.
I was so stuffed that my friend had to have some of my chicken. He wasn't able to try the grits because when anyone comes near my grits…well let's just say that no one has survived to tell the story. They were good. So good.
I recommend this place. Go for the food, the drinks, the always friendly staff and Dennis. If nothing more, just go say hi to Dennis. He really was such a nice guy.
Mason Jar is one of my favorite places to watch sports in the city. The crowd here is always fun, never too rowdy. The selection of beer is decent, and they have a balcony area in the back of the restraint which I really think helps keep the place less crowded.
The menu is decent, however I usually go for the social aspect that Mason Jar offers, not the food selection. I always get the fried pickles when I go and they are delicious! The drink prices are average, and you can definitely come here with a larger group of people to watch a game if you get there early enough.
Hit up Mason Jar for Happy Hour with a friend. They have drink specials on wells and on Bud Light and Yuengling. Not my favorite beers but hey happy hour is happy hour. Definitely would've liked a better selection of beers on special.
I've lived in North Carolina for four years so it was nice to run into a Southern restaurant in NYC. I had the pimento cheeseburger with fries and it was a treat. I haven't had pimento cheese since I left North Carolina so having it on the menu here was a really nice surprise. The fries were also great- perfectly seasoned and crispy.
Great casual spot in Midtown. Nice place to come for comfort food or a beer/drink. Good for groups or small tables. Happy hour gets a little more crowded, but it never gets overwhelming.
Place was packed wall to wall with happy college football fans, service was ridiculously fast for the amount of people in the place. Made eye contact with my server, held up a bottle of beer and a number of fingers and had my drinks in less than 2 minutes, how could you ask for better service? Did I mention the place was packed? We had chicken tenders, Pulled Pork Sandwich both were awesome and well above average for bar fare.
TVs everywhere, great sound, clean restrooms. I have not a bad thing to say about this place
And we will be back many times!!
Go Gamecocks!!
Food was 5 stars, service earns it a 3 star. Food was decently priced for the serving size and quality. The service was friendly enough, but super slow. We were one of five tables on a Thursday lunch. Took us over 30 minutes to get our apps and another 20 to get our entrees. I love how I got 1000 points for my open table reservation. The grilled cheese brisket sandwich was a winner as were the fried pickles. Just wish the service had been quicker. Will certainly give them another try!
Met with a few friends at the Mason Jar for after work drinks.
The ambiance was relaxing, the staff was really nice and the beer selection was great. The happy hour specials, on the other hand, were just "ok". The only special on beer was bud light. They had a lot of great craft brews on tap and I wasn't going to settle for bud light.
Enjoyed my time there nonetheless and I'll most likely re-visit because of their location.
Up the Happy Hour a little! Even a $1 off the craft beers would be nice.
First time there to watch USC/Clemson game. Luckily we got there early because once the game started it was so crowded you could not move to the front door. The decor was great seeing all the USC fan items hanging from everywhere you looked. Having lived in SC and had 2 kids attend USC I felt like I was back there once again. Lou did a great job organizing everything, doing raffles, and making sure everything ran smoothly. It is a easy train ride from CT and we will be back next football season to see what the new coach will bring us.
