If you’re looking for a warm and welcoming bar, this is it. Comfort food was great! Can accommodate many different size groups. Staff was super friendly and the food comes out fast. Live music on Friday night was really fun and eclectic.

I'm going to make this one quick, the food was very good but the service, well once the order was placed our waiter was nowhere to be found and this was the case for all the tables around us. All that aside, when it was time to pay a girl kept coming over and over and over every few minutes wanting us to pay even though I told her that I have not looked at the bill yet and would need some time to finish my drink and then I'll take a look at it.

Served three perfect pints of Guinness! Carlos the bartender, makes everyone feel at home and instantly you are his new best friend! Really enjoyed a crock of French onion soup! Watched both football and basketball on TV and the Christmas music was extremely tolerable. Comfortable bar, excellent service, great happy hour, and steps to the tram and Subway! See you there!

Grannie’s Annie’s absolutely nailed it. We had both the French onion soup and the tomato soup, and they were the kind of comfort food you immediately want to defend in an argument. The French onion was rich, deeply savory, and properly cheesy, not that sad skimpy layer you sometimes get. The tomato soup was smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care, not dumped out of a can and reheated. Perfect alongside a grilled cheese that was golden, crispy, and unapologetically indulgent. Warm, cozy vibe. Food that actually delivers. This is the kind of place you come back to when you want something simple done right. No notes. Just show up hungry.

We were visiting the NYC area and ended up here. This was our favorite restaurant. Quiet, cozy, and delicious food. Best tomato soup I've had in a long time. No wait, good service. Very clean.

Oh boy I'm not sure if Granny Annie is still alive, but if I met her I would of given her a huge hug and thank you. Our last day and meal in New York , and arrived on the gorgeous Roosevelt Island, hungry , thirsty and with our suitcases desperate to relax , and made the the most perfect decision to stop of at Granny Annie's. A gorgeous place , really lovely friendly staff and with birds tweeting around us opted to sit out side on a glorious day . Lovely food choices, and the drinks were a joy also. Food was super delicious and plenty of it and my beer was just what the doctor ordered. I couldn't thank the staff enough for making our final meal so perfect and if we go back it's 100% on our list to return to . Thank you all so much .

They opened at 10:30 on Saturday morning and we were the 1st in the door! It was a quiet morning due to other activities in the city, so we had the bar to ourselves for a little while. The atmosphere is perfect and nice. They were all decked out for Halloween and the service was top notch h! We will be back!

A fun little bar with a good menu and a nice, clean interior. It’s inviting and nice, the staff were kind, handled our large group well. It was a really good spot.
