This place is a jewel. The bartenders are all amazing, the waiters are fabulous, and the food is exquisite. Everything is made just the way I like it, and they serve the best burgers on the east coast. My hubby and I both agree this is our all-around favorite place to eat. Whenever our son's in town visiting from college, he always wants to go here.

Delicious restaurant with some unique entrees on the menu and really excellent ingredients. They have the best burgers in town, whether you go for bison or not. You won't find better prices anywhere either. A great spot to become a regular.

It's awesome you can get a bison burger here. They're really good too--tender and juicy. I haven't tried more than a couple bites of the steak, but my wife loves it. I'd probably order it, if I could talk myself out of ordering the bison burger all the time. But I pick my favorites and I usually stick to them. Fanelli's is a favorite all around.

A very comfortable restaurant and bar where you can really feel welcome and at home. The food is outstanding, especially the burgers (as everyone else is quick to point out as well). I can rave about their steak all day as well. They have a great menu on tap as well. I am here twice a week (good thing my salary supports this kind of eating out). I just love it.

The first time I came into Fanelli's, I was having a rotten day. I'd just lost my girlfriend, and I wanted to get drunk. I sat down at the bar and ordered a beer and got to talking with Bob, the bartender. He managed to lift my spirits enough that I didn't leave the establishment an absolute wreck. He even got me to eat something, and the food turned out to be top notch.
Pretty weird way to discover my new favorite restaurant, but there you go. Amazing customer service got me to keep coming back. The bar is fantastic, but the sit-down part of the restaurant is just as great. My new girlfriend and I come in here all the time for burgers!

Fanelli's Restaurant and Bar is a large place, with the capacity to serve more than one hundred people at the same time. It offers a great variety of fast food, such as burgers and pizzas and various sandwiches among all others. They are easily prepared and done on the spot, so the taste is really something! The price is great too, as it is not the typical restaurant that hits the spot with making the money in your wallet go running! The beer and wine are abundant, whisky is nice too, so take a sip! That place is surely recommended!

If you're in SOHO and you love burgers, stop by Fanelli's Restaurant & Bar. This place has a reputation of apparently being the second oldest continuously running restaurant in all of Manhattan. I'm actually willing to believe this, given the amazing food and the quiet, friendly atmosphere.
Get the bison burger! If you've never had a bison burger (which is a common malady on the East Coast), then you don't know what you're missing. If you have, then you do; a bison burger which is made right is usually more tender and flavorful than a beef burger, and the bison burgers which Fanelli's serves are prepared just right and are very tasty! The bread which they use for their burgers is also of a higher caliber than I'm used to, which only adds to the deliciousness. This place not only has delicious food, but it smells wonderful (cause of the food of course), and the dishes are beautifully presented.
The bar's great too - don't miss out on the tap. The guy who works the counter, Bob, is outstanding. Very funny and great to talk to!
