Walker’s

When in doubt, always choose Walker’s.
Walker’s has always been my safe bet for lunch – and they have never disappointed. I always order their Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich, which comes with cole slaw on the side (one of the better cole slaws I’ve had) and I always choose their house salad for the extra side it also comes with (isn’t this such a winning meal?), which is a meal itself since it comes in a sizable container. I highly recommend a takeout/​pick-​up order since you can always save the side as a snack or for dinner, if you may. Portions are very generous for their lunch special, and the sandwich is always fresh, juicy, and flavorful with the goat cheese – the French bread is a bigger plus.
I am not too familiar with its history, but you can tell just by looking at the interiors that this corner joint has been around long enough to become a TriBeCa staple. People dressed in suits frequent Walker’s for business lunches instead of a luxurious restaurant, which tells you a lot about how great this place is. The service never disappoints and my order is always ready, no matter how much earlier I come to pick up, especially during the prime lunch hours. Has an old, rustic, Colonial feel that makes you feel sorry for wearing modern-​aged clothes, and is more for the dining experience than for the drinking.

French fries were crispy, just salty enough, and delicious. Mashed potatoes were not totally mush and had a few chunks which is amazing. Sweet, salty, and buttery. Burger was flames. All around amazing lunch experience. and that was for PICK UP!!!

This was around the corner from my old job in TriBeCa and I miss coming here. Burgers were good. Service was great. Decent beer selection. I’ve been nostalgic lately for my old haunts. I wish I had time to visit all of them when I go back to visit.

Met some friends here for drinks and dinner. Old school type of New York bar, which are slowly disappearing. I was told the food is great… And it was! I had a pasta seafood special. It was a huge order with a lot of flavor. We all enjoyed our meals. Our waitress was terrific and very patient.
Will definitely go back when I’m in the neighborhood.

I love this bar. This place is so chill. It’s a perfect environment. Our server Steve is so friendly, and he knows how to crack a joke. The drinks tastes amazing and I am definitely looking forward to coming here again.

Sat at the bar for dinner with a girlfriend tonight. The food was good for bar fare (Caesar salad and a burger) but boy oh boy did we get attitude from the bartender. He thinks he’s some kind of Jack Nicholson-​meets-​Christopher Walken… too cool for school and certainly too cool to take our order politely. What a smug attitude! You might be wondering if I was rude to him to deserve this treatment. The answer is no, we could not have been more polite. Hey dude, guess what, you’re in the service industry! If you hate women as much as it seems you do and you’re going to be that rude and dismissive, maybe you should consider an alternate line of work???

A local institution.
Great place to watch night games over a plate of fries and a beer. Seriously, ORDER FRIES if you like ‘em thin and crispy.
My parents’ favorite burger (not mine personally, but it gets the job done).
Love their daily specials list.

One of my all-​time favorite NYC institutions. Long live. Low key, great drinks, and great food.

Had a very pleasant lunch in here on a sunny Saturday. This place has some character and charm with a nice old tin ceiling, but it was chill and unpretentious.

Fav place in the neighbourhood in TriBeCa. Very low-​key and extremely nice staff. Very crowded evenings and the food is excellent.
Locals frequent it and the environment is great. I try to go there every time I’m in the neighbourhood.
The burgers are great (that’s all I order) and there are some tv screens to watch the games when they’re on.
It’s least crowded 4−6pm when the menu is limited.

We were looking for a down and dirty quick lunch spot and stumbled upon Walkers. It looks like your typical bar spot but it’s a spot that gets crowded quickly.
We were seated, in an awkward spot, in between the paper roll they use to place on tables and two other dining tables. I got bumped numerous times from patrons going to the bathroom and waiter dropping off food for the tables. I squeezed in as close to the table, too!
Besides that distraction, on to the food. We ordered fast (two sandwiches) and the food arrived just as quickly.
Roasted turkey club — delightful. Lots of meat and bacon. Can’t go wrong with that. Nicely toasted bread. Sandwich comes with fries — nice touch with the crispy fries. Not soggy at all.
Grilled chicken breast sandwich — great for those looking to be healthy. Grilled and not dry! Comes with a unique wasabi aioli sauce. Husband loved this and dipped and spread it in everything on his plate. It was tasty!
Good spot for a quite bite. Just be cautious on where you sit!

This bar and restaurant is super low key, with amazing food! I came here for lunch with a friend, and we were seated immediately in the back room (we were walked through the main dining room and the second room to the back… each room had plenty of table seating but also ample breathing room). Our server was incredibly friendly and came right over to our table to get the drink order. She was equally quick with taking our lunch order, and the food was prepared and delivered so that we were actually able to eat during a one-​hour lunch break.
I absolutely loved the French Dip with Au Jus ($ 14); the bread was perfectly toasted, the meat was so lean, and the dip and fries were the perfect sides! My friend really enjoyed her Grilled Portabello Mushroom sandwich, as well. Walker’s has officially been added to the «Lunchtime Restaurant Rotation.»

Odd bar /​restaurant. I order the burger which was very tender patty, moist on a sesame bun with pickles, lettuce and tomato. The food was great, tasty burger but when it comes to service, its a miss.
When the server assigned us a table i had 3 different people servicing the table. When the drinks came, i guess since we were not ordering alcohol, they did not check on us. Instead we had to flag down a server to get an additional glass of ice water. Been here 2 times, the food is good but the service is always missing something.

What the hell do I know about bars, well enough to have eaten 7 orders of wings, countless beers and a portly burger with fries and lived to tell about it.
This is a solid bar all around
The interior is very spacious with plenty of seating in two different areas.
–The wings here are phenomenal. Perfect amount of spice, and perfect amount of crisp to tender meat ratio.
–The burger here is also delicious. Mine was cooked to a perfect medium, juicy, tender and flavorful. Fries were crispy and thin.
–Have a good variety of beers on tap
Overall great bar, excited to come here more often

Wow — I’ve been to Walker’s many times over the years but never written a review. Came back last week and things were as great as ever. The burger with it’s char-​broiled taste is still solid — and I had it at midnight, not sure when they stop serving food but they’re open till 4AM. The servers were all very friendly to us and I’m happy to see that this place has kept its charm along with its local neighborhood crowd. I remember there being a mens room in the front area — but it seems they moved them into the back area — which is also a nice area to sit if you want a bit of a quieter vibe away from the bar area. I’d describe the menu as comfort food with some healthy options. We didn’t have any drinks but the old bar still looks cool as hell. This place is just classic New York all around.

I ended up here after googling best burger in nyc. The burger was good but Ive had better burgers in New York.
The menu is very affordable (menu items between $ 12-​$ 18)
Good spot for a casual, affordable night in TriBeCa

I had a really great time here for happy hour! There were no drink specials, but there was free food on the bar – woo hoo! On Friday, there was chips and salsa, turkey sandwiches, and chicken wings until 7. Unheard of in Manhattan!
The bartenders and all the patrons were super friendly. I suppose you have to be because the space is so small and awkward that you can’t help but accidentally elbow someone at some point.
Overall, Walker’s gives the impression of a small, friendly, local place that has been around forever and will be around forever. It’s probably not a destination for me, but I would definitely return when in the area.

Ate lunch here today with coworkers. I ordered the penne shrimp & clam scampi. The clams were cracked open in half in an unusual way which resulted in small bits and pieces of gritty shell mixed in with the meal. Who ever taught this chef to shuck clams this way? Not impressed! They charged an arm and a leg for this lunch and I would have sent it back but didn’t have time and had to return to the office.
Plus the ceiling tiles were missing and the unfinished pipes and ceiling was exposed, I don’t know if they considered doing this for ambiance but it’s really unappealing! We’re just glad the pipes were not leaking or it would have fallen straight down onto our meal. Gross!
Would not return here unless it were the only option.

A hidden gem in Tribeca. A local neighborhood pub right on the corner. The front seating is more lively where there is a bar of course. There are seatings in the back where it’s more secluded & private. We sat in the back for a table of two. It was pretty busy for brunch but service was attentive.
I had Eggs Benedict w/​Smoked Salmon. Delicious. & you can never go wrong w/​two cups mimosa’s of course.
Must try.

Adorable. In one word, I’d describe Walker’s as just that… adorable. We came across this gem because it was one of the few places open to grab a drink within walking distance of our hotel. Our waitress was really attentive, sweet, and funny.
We didn’t order food, but had a few rounds of drinks, which were pretty strong.
This is a great place to sit down and enjoy good conversation. The atmosphere is not too loud, but not boringly quiet.
Definitely a gem of a place. Go here!
