I want to correct something: Abe Lincoln did not eat at Keens. Keens was actually founded 20 years after his death. The restaurant displays some items that are related to Lincoln, such as the large painting in the video (I also hear the playbill he was holding when he was assassinated is displayed there). Somehow I got wires crossed and accidentally thought for a sec that Lincoln ate there. My mistake!
As soon as you mentioned it i noticed that previously in the video, on the front door, it said est 1885 and that it would have been impossible. Thankfully you corrected yourself, good work!
I'm a vegetarian and live 1,000s of miles away from NYC, so I can't even eat 99% of what you review, yet I have watched every UA Eats video since the beginning haha. You're a kind dude living his best life. Love the content!
One of the most over looked aspects of this channel is the fact that he usually gets no special treatment unlike a lot of celebrity food bloggers or popular UA-camrs in general. He’s getting the same quality of food that everyone else gets. It’s as real as it gets
might have to do with the 48K followers lol - he could walk up to any Maitre d' and say hi I'm UA! and they would say uhhh okay, are you dining alone...?
He's actually very well known. However, he prefers not to get special treatment and often goes out of his way to try certain foods just for his audience.
I just discovered your channel and I love it! As a former New Yorker that no longer lives there, I live vicariously through your videos. Great stuff UA!
I went to keens during my visit to new York last Jan. Because of your review of the mutton chop. So glad I went. Such a great steakhouse. The mutton was so tender and flavorful and different than beef, and I loved their huge scotch and whiskey list. I also bought one of their clay pipes to display at my house. 😂
Hi UA--love the channel! At your suggestion, I had the “taste of mutton” for lunch today! Absolutely delicious and an incredible value at $29!! Also had the bananas foster for dessert. Fantastic. Thanks for the tip, really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.
I always enjoy your food reviews, even those of foods I may not like. If I may offer my observation on one thing that has bothered me while watching your videos, it is when you eat from the side dish with the serving spoon. The serving spoon is meant to put some of the side onto your main plate. It is not meant to be used to eat whatever the side dish is. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your future food reviews.
UA I've been following your channel since watching your peter luger video... Your channel is THE ONLY food review channel in youtube that gives honest, thorough and detailed information whether a food is good or bad... Keep up the excellent work and please never change even when your channel getting bigger in the future... Greetings from Indonesia👍
None or most of the names mentioned regarding the pipes werenever there , actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman was there all the time usually sitting all the way 2 nd to or last chair on right at bar , I have gotten his seat several times 😅😊
Due to some medical issues recently my diet is very limited. Watching your videos brings the flavors and joys of eating beautifully prepared food to me instantly. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing them. Thank you
I'm so glad to hear the T-Bone Steak was so outstanding/juicy! and that the food arrived so quickly. A friend of mine years ago always liked this steakhouse best. I always appreciate the level of detail and analysis in your videos.
Hi UA. Love your channel, the level of detail you go into and that you're not just a cheerleader. You go a lot of places I can't afford so I u ever do get to one I'll know what is really worth it. I just moved back to Chicago.. I am STUNNED at the quality and diversity of restaurants here. Not quite NYC but close man. If you come here, please do kind of what you did in Vegas and hit maybe 4 or 5 places at least and only one for deep dish pizza! I'm telling you man stay in the west loop and you'll be able to walk to 20 different world class restaurants in a one mile radius. They're not cheap but def cheaper than NYC and some awesome international restaurants too.
Really enjoy your videos UA. You are always fun to watch. I would like to offer a suggestion. When you point your camera at the menu you tend to focus on what you are going to choose. It would be helpful if we could view an entire section, as well as holding it there a bit so we have time to look it over. I believe this would help us learn more about the restaurant. Thanks.
Great to see your channel growing!! I think I subscribed about 15k subscribers ago, and that was only late last year. Good luck UA, I love your reviews!!
Nice second review, brother! Keen's is in my top 5, and I always enjoy. I'm going to shoot to Porter House tomorrow, one of the best $39 lunch specials around (Time Warner Center) Thanks again for a great review!
UA, if I may offer some critique. When you first get the steak cut directly through the thickest part. First reason is to accurately judge doneness, most cuts just can’t be cooked evenly like this T bone and will show a little more well toward the edges. Secondly, if the steak is not cooked correctly you will want to notify the staff ASAP, not halfway through the meal when you reach the thick point and realize it’s either over/under. The staff will want to know at these high end restaurants, but it’s best to check the thickest part of the steak before making a judgement call.
Saw an episode of No Reservations on Keens about 10 yrs ago. Decided to try the Mutton because it looked so good. Maybe it was just a bad night but it was very gamey and not tender.
I visited Keens for its mutton chop and ordered "taste of mutton" and yes after watching your review! Must say it is delicious. I am going to visit NYC is April and will go again 😊
Try del friscos by Rockefeller center. Their bone in ribeye is very good. Bread excellent. Blue cheese salad with bacon excellent. And their lemon layer cake is a signature must. The best !!!
I’ve been to Gallaghers and to Lugers. We might be back in New York next spring and Keens and/or Delmonico’s are on the short list next. Thanks for your reviews Ue.
Porterhouse is cut from higher up along the loin, has larger portion of tenderloin attached to the striploin. T-bones have a smaller portion of tenderloin as its cut towards the tail end.
Great review I love keens I do love prime rib and Judy went to 4 Charles and had a 5 Charles cut that's great. You should review I went to Le Jardinier last Fri for a great meal on Mar 5 going to Mischa for $29 hot dog and saga for dinner I turn 62 that day Mar 8 rqos again Mar 10 palm court bfast then allow for dinner Mar 11 Coral omakase and in aprol Legasea
Hi UA. I really enjoy your videos, but please you have to start eating the food and finishing it.. that's my favorite part about watching food videos seeing the plate empty. LoL 😂
The creamed spinach looked amazing. I agree with the steak. I would have gone for the prime rib personally. And the cheesecake looked delicious but needed some fresh fruit alongside and a small garnish for $14. Overall, I’d try it.
I commented on this very thing. New York strip and Sirloin are from different parts of the animal. Yes the New York strip is from the short loin section.
Hi UA.. fan from the UK… you should try the Benjamin if you haven’t already… I believe similar to Wolfgang’s the owner is ex Peter Luger but when I went a few years back was a fantastic Porterhouse.
I had Prime rib kings cut and they throw it on the flame to char the outside and it was absolutely incredible! That Lincoln playbill actually has his own blood on it!
@uaeats There are plenty to choose from. Such as STK. Kenzie Chop House, Smith and wollensky and Morton's Steakhouse, to name a few. Chicago does steak very well and has plenty of options from budget steaks like Matteson's steakhouse to aged Prime steaks.
@@uaeatsGene & Georgetti Italian steak house and order their fried calamari. You should try steak at Craft restaurant by Tom Collichio. New York or Vegas.
Getting the steak in 10 min. is quite curious especially considering a 5 min. rest time. I managed a steakhouse and it's not impossible to get exact med-rare. Good review.

That's because he's awkward, relatively unknown and recording on his phone. That shit is ordinary now. But hey here we are.

His face at 10:43 while cutting the steak is why I like this channel. The joy of eating. Thanks for the vids, UA.
Hey i see my pops in the video! the bartender who made the Limeade!
Cory , is that really your pops , hes waited on me at the bar a few times - crab cake , creamed spinach , lobster bisque 😅😅😊😊
Small world. Shout out to Pops! 🎉🎉🎉

Mutton is different than beef.
You made the right move doing youtube full time i love it, especially the steakhouses. Good stuff!!
Went here for my college AND law school graduation dinners. My all time favorite dish is that mutton.
Love it. UA closes his eyes to hone all his senses to his tasting.
What a wholesome program, thank you friend!
Guy in the background at 2:09 with the stab grip on the utensils is having a rough time
hahahaha omg what is he doing?? very strange
My dad always says... "Let the knife do the work"
Looks like he was doing surgery on the bread.
😂
Lol what is it with grown ass people not knowing how to use cutlery? It's crazy haha
THE BEST FOOD CHANNEL IN THE WORLD! Honest, simple, even innocent in the best sense of the word.
Thank you for the kind words!
I hope he wouldn't turn into those pretentious tiktok reviewers later.

Loved this spot on ny birthday. The mutton was crazy!
The mutton chop is very good and it's also huge!
Lincoln was never there…he passed away roughly 20 years before Keens opened
Yep, I wrote a pinned comment clarifying the error
Passed away? Was killed
@@davidhaber5304A distinction without a difference.
I don't think that's how what happened at the theater with John Wilkes booth is described but yeah ..maybe it was a Lincoln....impersonater ! Lol

Great review, my favorite steak is bone in ribeye the best!
I agree!. The juiciest and most flavor.
Sorry I missed the premier. Excellent review. I always learn something.
Due to some medical issues recently my diet is very limited. Watching your videos brings the flavors and joys of eating beautifully prepared food to me instantly. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing them. Thank you
Favorite steakhouses for steak are this, Delmonico's and Del Frisco's Double Eagle. All of them are excellent.
Man. This guy appreciates food. God bless
I Don’t mind the mic change actually might like it a little better. The sound of that bread crunch makes me hungry!
Thanks for the feedback!
The crunch on that first bite of bread was incredible. :)

The mutton chop is main event at Keens. It's amazing and unusual. A must order.
UA could you review Le Rivage in New York it's chef Frenchies restaurant and I wanna see how good it is. Maybe take a look at mission sandwiches too
Good for you. So happy you had dessert. Got to once in a while. Great review. Steak looked amazing. Spinach perfect. Very good. Loved it.
Like you I need a soft drink with my food… keep it up!

I like your "everyman" approach to food reviews, as most people aren't foodies or experts. You look at restaurants the way most of would.
Great vid nice to see some desserts!
Going in 2 weeks for my 40th birthday. Ive been to Gallaghers, but cant wait to try Keen's!

Saw an episode of No Reservations on Keens about 10 yrs ago. Decided to try the Mutton because it looked so good. Maybe it was just a bad night but it was very gamey and not tender.
Mutton is gamey and not as tender as a steak or lamb, it wasn’t Keen’s having an off nights, it was you discovering you don’t really like mutton.
Max - it was Anthony Bourdain favorite manhattan haunts , steakhouses 😊
I visited Keens for its mutton chop and ordered "taste of mutton" and yes after watching your review! Must say it is delicious. I am going to visit NYC is April and will go again 😊
*Keen's
I get hungry 🤤 when watching these videos 😂
The Mutton Chop is my go to in NYC.
Tender like young lamb.
#headingbackinJune
That was a winner UA face! I gotta try this place!
Thanks for the video as awlays. :) For future videos, can you also specify at end what total cost of your dinner is?
Thank you for sharing. I’ll give it a try.
I watched a documentary on Keens and the Mutton looks fantastic. If i ever return I will try it out.
UA, you are freaking awesome man!! Keep up the good work!
I never eat a filet mignon , always a big fat ribeye ! No better flavor 😋 out there ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Thank you for your generosity!

Hi, first time commenting in your channel I think? But, I enjoyed many videos in your channel, you do great reviews! Esp love your steakhouse reviews!
Hi UA love your Chanel
I don't own any Chanel products, or any luxury fashion actually, but thanks for thinking so highly of me!
UA bone in ribeye seems right up your alley. My fav🥩😋!
Did you ever do River Palm Terrace in Edgewater NJ?
I have a question UA,What is the difference from a T-Bone and A Porterhouse? Which one is better?Thanks and love the content!
Porterhouse is cut from higher up along the loin, has larger portion of tenderloin attached to the striploin. T-bones have a smaller portion of tenderloin as its cut towards the tail end.
Great review I love keens I do love prime rib and Judy went to 4 Charles and had a 5 Charles cut that's great. You should review

Hello UA and everyone
Hi UA. I really enjoy your videos, but please you have to start eating the food and finishing it.. that's my favorite part about watching food videos seeing the plate empty. LoL 😂
Keens Mutton Chop and sitting at the old bar is a top NYC experience
It’s fun to just bounce around food reviewer UA-cam. You’re one of the stops I make lol
2nd 👍! Hi UA! Hi EVERYONE! Mmmmmm OOH Wee! I'm excited for this meal
Fresh Ginger Ale with a shot of Jameson. Oh yeah man!
Is it the cut that you don't like prime rib?
The creamed spinach looked amazing. I agree with the steak. I would have gone for the prime rib personally. And the cheesecake looked delicious but needed some fresh fruit alongside and a small garnish for $14. Overall, I’d try it.
It seemed that I haven’t seen you eat a steak in a while!!
Isn’t NY Strip from the short loin?
I commented on this very thing. New York strip and Sirloin are from different parts of the animal. Yes the New York strip is from the short loin section.
Hi UA.. fan from the UK… you should try the Benjamin if you haven’t already… I believe similar to Wolfgang’s the owner is ex Peter Luger but when I went a few years back was a fantastic Porterhouse.
Their mutton chop was one of the best meals in my life. I’d be happy with it as my final meal.
13:30 .... I'm glad u clarified "do it" by saying eat it bc I was thinking u were going to do something else to it.
Which steak is better? Keens vs smith & wollensky
I always order it rare so it doesn't get overcooked it's better to send it again to get a little more cooked then it be overcooked
I personally love Filet Mignon. Its definitely my second favorite cut, ribeye wins of course for first place.
You like the fattiest and leanest high end steak cuts. Very fun
What about the Cigars Menu?
Love Keen's! Great vibe.
Have you ever been at Wolfgangs?i remember a great porterhouse👍
Did the waiter ask if you were ok while eating the steak?! UA Steak Face 😂😂😂
I know you said you aren't a prime rib guy, and I feel the same, but Keen's has some of the best prime rib I've ever had.
Hey, do they offer steak sauce? Or an option of mushrooms and onions with the steak? You'd better go back and check it out.
I had Prime rib kings cut and they throw it on the flame to char the outside and it was absolutely incredible! That Lincoln playbill actually has his own blood on it!
Yeah, I saw that. It must have been acquired someplace - I’m not sure that I trust it. If so, I’d expect it to be in the Smithsonian .
Getting a steak in 10 minutes seems very suspicious to me
Yes. It’s worth it.
It would be cool if you did a New york & Chicago comparison on steaks.
Do you have any Chicago steakhouses you would recommend?
@uaeats There are plenty to choose from. Such as STK. Kenzie Chop House, Smith and wollensky and Morton's Steakhouse, to name a few. Chicago does steak very well and has plenty of options from budget steaks like Matteson's steakhouse to aged Prime steaks.

he looks like he’s in pain everytime he eats 😂😂
He's asian 😅😊
If the steak came out in 10 min, and a steak rests for 5 min or so, a 5 min cook is pretty fast - especially on a thick cut.
I'd assume he was off on the time or they parcooked the steak.
@@fadsa342Parcooking would make sense at lunchtime.
@@DovidMdo u mean pre -
T bone and prime rib in Keens is definitely my favorite among steakhouses in NY i have been
That’s a porterhouse! T Bone only has meat on 1 side of the bone. The sirloin steak.
The roasted peppers with the steak is a nice touch.

Take a trip to Indy and try St Elmo’s one of the best
It was called Keen's Chophouse back in my days..went to many wine tastings there..
I always go for the Porterhouse for two. It has the best of everything.
Heading to NYC end of May for a couple days. Trying to narrow down a steak joint to try but dammit, you have too many!!! Lol
Any recommendation for someone on a quick visit?
