Mendys has tradition, flavor and that special something that keeps bringing people back for over 25 years. Who woudl want to mess with that.

Are mendys just the same in name only? Because the mendys in crown heights is just a standard fast food joint.

Ch sells chicken gumbo, but its not the same as it used to be. I used to love it but since the partner sold out the quality of everything there went down.

That's saying something as the quality wasn't much to begin with...

It was consistent and had decent service. After he sold it his former partner guy cut a bunch of corners. IMHO there only two things with there still worth getting, the burger and fries and the avocado chicken wrap.

+1 for anything in midtown
Mendy's is a decent choice for lunch.
Or for an authentic NY experience, there's a new kosher cart at 6th and 45th:
https://www.facebook.com/HolyRollersKosherCarts
There's a small park next to it where you can sit down to eat, or Bryant park is 3 short blocks away (42nd)
Just ate there today - the sandwiches are pretty good, and prices are decent (for manhattan)

OU glatt hashgoha.

Pitopia is also having sale this week half price schnitzel pita. Two locations one right near B&H which probably helps some ppl and another on Broadway probably better for trains

Why not stick with the original suggestion of mendy's?

TimT · « **Reply #5295 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:15:33 PM »

Most were ok with Mendy's. May as well leave it like that

chucksterace · « **Reply #5296 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:16:17 PM »

Is there seating there?

But comfortable seating? Not one on top of each other.

Ie. Only a couple tables or plenty?

It is on the lower level of a food court basically. So its just tables and chairs outside of the actual restaurants. Shouldn't be hard to have enough seating and worst case pull up some chairs and a table from a restaurant next to it.

Every time I have gone so far during lunch it was not crowded and there were enough chairs and tables around.
