Molly Fitzpatrick reviews The Waverly Inn, a timeless West Village restaurant with a classic NYC atmosphere, solid food, and an unbeatable vibe. Explore dishes like their famous biscuits and a juicy cheeseburger.
This West Village gem offers a timeless NYC experience with a classic, intimate atmosphere perfect for date nights or special occasions. While the ambiance and vibe are consistently lauded, the food receives mixed reviews, with some dishes like the renowned biscuits and juicy cheeseburger shining, while others like the truffle mac & cheese fall short. It's a place known for its celebrity sightings and a discreet no-photographs policy, contributing to its exclusive appeal.
The American cuisine at The Waverly Inn is generally well-regarded, with the complimentary biscuits, cheeseburger, chicken pot pie, and onion rings receiving specific praise. However, the truffle mac & cheese is noted as a dish to potentially skip.
"Standout dishes include the complimentary biscuits with whipped honey butter, a juicy cheeseburger with excellent fries, comforting chicken pot pie, and large, puffy onion rings."
Customers generally have a positive view of the restaurant, often recommending it for its atmosphere and as a suitable spot for special occasions, though some find the food to be merely edible.
Important Note
The truffle mac & cheese is noted as a dish to skip due to an off-putting truffle oil flavor.
