Jimmy Ryan’s

I dont understand why this place gets such bad reviews. For a diner in the Bronx it is fantastic. The food is much better than your average diner food. It is freshly cooked and taste delicious. Unlike most diners that sell frozen food or old food. During the summer you can eat outside which is great. I haven’t eaten on the inside yet but when I do I guess I’ll update everyone when I do. I actually enjoy that it’s an Irish diner because in addition to all the regular diner food you can get some pretty unique dishes that taste awesome. This is by far my favorite diner in the area. It’s more expensive than the other diners in the area but that’s because the food is actually good so it is definitely worth it. I give 4 instead of 5 because of course ambience and service could be better. However you cannot expect too much from Bronx places so whatever. Love this place!

This was my first time here and I’m not
Sure about returning. The place was sort of
Packed with only 2 servers. It took about 10−15mins to order drinks and food. The drinks took 20mins to come out and when our food came out after 30mins half of our order didn’t come out at all. Most of our order was appetizers. Our second round took a shorter time. Even tho my first time was not great. I may return. Everyone needs a second chance.

Yeah… I really don’t like this place, the owner is pretentious and beer prices are a little bit to high for it’s location.

This is my favorite bar and, let’s face it, you’re not going there for the food. Irish food just sucks in general. I can say that, I’m Irish. This is the spot for when you’re bored at midnight and want to relax in a semi-​quiet bar with somewhat normal people who are all waiting to smirk at that one drunk idiot they don’t really know. Plus, you can sit outside. I love to sit outside. There’s never any drama. As for the guy who said «he heard that people might be using drugs in the bathroom» I have a response: 1) If you didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. 2) Every bar in the universe has people doing drugs in the bathroom. People do drugs in the bathroom at Starbucks. Why? Because junkies are junkies and they get high anywhere. It’s not a seedy place at all.

This place was good a few years ago. The food is pretty good, the place is nice but its not the place that is the probelm its the people who go there. A few times I was there I have seen fights, underage people in there, heard some stories about the people doing drugs in the bathroom.

I went in looking for some great Pub food. I ordered the buffalo wings. They gave a big portion but they were still raw. For dinner I ordered the open turkey sandwich the meat looked like it came out of one of those dollar packages you see in the super market. bad food is not the word. This is a disgrace to all Irish pubs and should be a bar only or shut down.

I’m not gonna waist my time writing a detailed review of this place. Terrible food. Bad service.

Overpriced drinks. I have been to Jimmy Ryans a few times and I am not a fan at all. The drinks are overpriced and the décor of the place just doesnt justify the prices. The beer is cheap but if you want liquor you’re gonna pay for it. The bar itself is super tiny and looks very old. The bathrooms here are abysmal. There is more room in my jewlery box than the bathroom at this place. If you must use the bathroom here I hope you’re not shy because by the time you exit you will know the person next to you a little more intimately that you would like.

THIS is what a neighborhood bar should look like. These guys are doing it right. Good food, buybacks, friendly atmosphere, local newspaper clippings on the walls — A+ for atmosphere, service, and price.

I definitely wouldn’t call myself a regular here, but I’ve stopped in a few times over the past few years. Kind of your standard run of the mill Irish pub in this part of the Bronx. Nothing too special, but a decent place to throw back a few and watch a game.
While the bar is your standard pub, the food is here is slightly above average which makes it a great choice for some drinking when a little bar lunch/​dinner is in order. The burgers are the highlight for sure. There aren’t many good places to get a burger in this neighborhood, but this is one of them.
Plenty of seating and TVs everywhere, even if they are a little outdated and could use some upgrading.

Cheap beer and the chicken tenders are sooo good! Only been there once so can’t say I’m a fan yet.

Ordered the fish & chips. Fish was slimy & smelled horrible. The waitress never even asked me if I wanted an new meal until my husband had finished his burger. Will never go back & I live right across the street

Cheap beer and decent bar food. Nice Irish pub!

Best burgers and food in the area. Must order the Jimmy Ryan’s burger and onion rings.

My son has a cub scout meeting in the area there every Thursday and so I find myself downing at least 4 absoluts on the rocks those nights. I suspect since I’ve become something of a regular, I get a break on the drinks (but no promises). Reminds me of Cheers — when I walk in, they all know my name, and I haven’t even been going that long. Folks are friendly and I go it alone and always end up in deep, semi-​drunken conversation. Can I just tell you that the buffalo wings are sooooo good! And I don’t say that lightly. But you better like ‘em hot. No joke!

great place! i have been here often.

Jimmy Ryan’s is the neighborhood bar my friends and I frequent. The crowd is 60% young people and 40% middle aged folk. The beer selection is very limited. The drinks are cheap in comparison to Manhattan, but not that cheap in comparison to the rest of the Bronx. The food is typical bar fare. There is a Rockola jukebox (one of those ones where you can download songs from the Internet.) On Saturday nights, there is a DJ and often times, lots of neighborhood youth. At all other times, you will have an easy time finding a comfortable table to sit at and linger over a beer.
EDIT: They now have Blue Moon!
