A retro-chic hotspot on the UWS, serving massive portions of French dip sandwiches and hearty American eats, perfect for lively group gatherings.
"How similar is it to TGI Fridays? More of an upgraded Cheesecake Factory, but that’s splitting hairs. Similar to TGI Fridays, this Upper West Side restaurant plays chicken with your appetite. Stop by Maison Pickle at brunch, and you can get a stack of challah french toast dripping maple syrup with a slab of fried chicken pinned to the top. The food can feel excessive, but sometimes that’s what life demands. Choose from a patty melt, shrimp scampi, or a tomahawk steak, and finish with a slab of 24-layer cake." - bryan kim
"The steak frites at Maison Pickle clocks in at $33, and it’s also worth noting that this spacious Upper West Side restaurant uses rib eye, which comes topped with compound butter and achieves a crispy, charred crust. There are also plenty of other menu items—like fried chicken and shrimp scampi—in case the person you’re dining with doesn’t want beef. Plus, if you come on the earlier side, you might even make it for Mini Martini hour, which sounds way more fun than regular Happy Hour. " - bryan kim, willa moore
"Maison Pickle serves maximalist, Cheesecake Factory-adjacent food—and there are some days when it really hits the spot. Like its sister restaurant, the mega-popular brunch destination Jacob’s Pickles, this glitzy Upper West Side spot doesn’t hold back. A typical dinner here consists of a thick slab of bacon, a cast-iron dish of butter-topped rolls, and a hefty french dip with a side of au jus. (Although you can also get a salad.) The cavernous space has a bar up front and a bi-level dining room in the back featuring fancy light fixtures and an enormous shelf of booze, and it tends to stay busy. Try this place for brunch, when the usual entrees are replaced with cartoonishly tall stacks of french toast." - Bryan Kim
