Baseball memorabilia and large television sets dominate the room. Solid if unremarkable American fare is served including burgers, fries, chicken potpie and baby back ribs. Portions are large, but prices are not that cheap. Light eaters can dine on a variety of salads, and there is a menu for 'little leaguers' (children) as well.

We ate here today for lunch. Overall the food was good, we had a burger and salad. The bill was a bit much, but I guess the location... but a $17 burger is a bit much for lunch. And also be prepared to pay for refiles for soda!!! I have never had that happen before!
Have read other reviews and I cannot comment on what it's like on a Friday or Saturday night but I can imagine anywhere that has a bar and is sports themed in New York will be packed. With that said, we have been to Mickey Mantle's twice while doing our own trip to the city and had lunch there during the week! Food was excellent and service was very good! IN fact the steak was very good both times - not just for a sports bar - it was good! Kids loved the burgers and my daughter said the mac and cheese is the best she ever had. And our waitress was Heather and she was very nice to the kids too! As to the memorabilia that some have negatively commented on, well that's kinda strange. It's Mickey Mantle's Restaurant... You know center fielder for the New York Yankees, Hall of Famer, #7?!! Why would you go there if not to check out the NY sports related stuff. Kinda like going to Hard Rock Cafe and thinking the music's loud and the photos are garrish! Anyway, we'd recommend Mickey Mantle's - it's well worth a visit or two especially during the day, between museum trips and the Central Park Zoo, or a visit to the Top of the Rock or the Empire State Building!
Ate at Mickey Mantle's 3 times whilst in New York as we were staying in the Helmsley Park lane next door. The food was excellent every time, the portions were huge and the staff were very friendly. Ok, so the prices are a little steep but what do you expect. This is NYC. If I end up back in New York I will definitely be paying them a visit again.
