- The MacMaster is in New York City at Keens, the most legendary steakhouse in Manhattan to review their signature dish The Mutton Chop.
Keens is one of the oldest steakhouses in New York City, but it’s more famous for a plate that’s not steak. The restaurant serves over 400 orders of its legendary mutton chops each week.
Keens Steakhouse is also steeped in history and owns the largest collection of churchwarden pipes in the world. Step inside Keens with The MacMaster and see for yourself why this is The best Steakhouse in New York City.

Real old school NY joint with genuine history. Thanks for sharing this one. Slightly surprised by the lack of potatoe with the mutton. A small jacket would do the job nicely ... It's hard to find mutton in the UK nowadays so good to know its a thing at Keens!
Wow so well put together Lee, great visuals around NYC and great music. Looked a 10/10 all day. Very well priced too. Bring on 100k subs. 🥳🥳
Hi Lee I practically grew up on mutton. I was brought up by my grandparents who always used to cook Mutton and similar types of meat. Chicken, Turkey etc were very expensive long ago. I think also by my grandparents having been through the war. They didn't waste anything.
What a fabulous place, & What an amazing man for giving the history of the place 👏
Really good call Lee! You got the taste of NY, the history, and some seriously good food! I’m glad you were happy with it! All around great video!
I should say you could try 4 Charles for a steak, but reservations are difficult and this came out much better!
Thank you for all the great videos
Another quality video, I’ve recently subscribed to your channel. Loved the Benidorm videos you were spot on there, we go all the time. NY looks ace…..brilliant mate!
Keens is a must visit restaurant in New York. I was happy watching you enjoy a fantastic meal after the many disappointment I got meals you have had on this trip.
What a great restaurant with wonderful food, history and hospitality.
Another classic vlog Lee … your so so close to 100k… just Love your channel.. Food looked amazing 10+ 👍👍
Hi Lee I haven’t been to Keens since the 1980s and it doesn’t look much different from then,almost going back in time ,except for today’s prices!We used to go there after frequenting “Blarney Rocks”Irish bar on 33rd street (it has since closed down) something to do wit Penn station!Nice memories take care
We were so happy to see you finally get a meal that you enjoyed, up to that point I was feeling bad that it was all going south, the managers education was unreal, you can tell his heart n soul is in that business, a first class review, loved it.
America really has changed especially in the last 2-3 years, its not just NYC, food quality is down, prices are up and the greed with tipping and service charges is beyond belief, everybody has their hand out, we have certainly cut back on eating out, the prices are killing us., Id sooner stay home and have scrambled egg or beans on toast than drop close to $50 for a no frills one course meal, it all goes down the same hole.
THANKS Lee brilliant Lad , SILVER FOX 👍🏻 ,me SHEEP SHEEP 🐑 ARMY 👍🏻 LOL 🥁PLEASE X
Lovely guy to spend all that time giving so much interesting history😊meal looks great!!
The best I've seen our friends across the pond put before you to date.
That chop was screaming out for mint sauce though and where were the new potatoes ?
Love lamb but prefer a lamb shank with mash potatoes and runner beans.....I'd have been on the plane home after the first day 🤣
Looked excellent! Great vid! Onwards to 100k!
Wow! This my kind of thing, and my favourite meat. When you said you were going to a steakhouse I thought you'd have a steak, but I hoped you would have the lamb after mentioning it, and you did, thankfully, and It looked absolutely gorgeous. I don't know what the greenery was and I would have preferred some other type, buy hey. I might have had mine a touch more well done too, but I can't fault the meat and I'd definitely visit this place if I were visiting New York again. Top notch this was. A definite 10. Places don't usually last 100+ years if they're not good.
What a fascinating place. Thanks for letting me see it.
How does the food compare with DelMonico’s - my New York favorite when I used to visit some years ago.
Mutton is so difficult to get nowadays and, when cooked well, it is outstanding.
Excellent vlog
Looks a superb place, your food looked superb too.
Just done the dollar to pound conversion and $68 is £56 😂👉 for that
I imagine that place wouldn’t be open long here in the uk, shocking prices ! I get it’s New York an all but even so 😮
Edited , I paused the menu on the mutton chop was 68 dollars so I don’t know how it was 45 or whatever at the end 😂🧐🤦♂️
Brilliant food and a must for anyone visiting NYC.
The guy in restaurant sounded like the teacher saying Bueller in Ferris buellers day off
Looked better than your other meals top man
You had a good guide there as well, reckon we all learnt a lot about American history. PS. Dinner looked brilliant. 10 from me.
I've actually been to Keene's years ago. When you said NYC's most famous steakhouse, I was certain you were going to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn. Luger's has a distingushed history going back to 1887. Also excellent is The Palm, which has a theatre district location as well as an Eastside one. I don't think these steakhouses have any truck with mutton!
Interesting place, loved the history, it don’t think I would eat mutton…glad you enjoyed it though 👍😀
That guy reminded me of the teacher of Ferris Buellers day off. Anyone...anyone...anyone 😆
Incredible steakhouse and the service seemed exceptional, its the first time that I’ve seen someone actually do something for their tip in NYC. After your dismal foodie experiences of late including what must have been the worst fish and ch...errr whatever that flat thing is actually called, I was beginning to give up hope that you’ll find something decent in the most famous city in the world. Though the Silver Fox is probably right that you should try the dishes that he has suggested. Great vlog 😊
One word... WOW!!! 😮
BRILLIANT REVIEW!!!
It was a 10/10 as soon as you walked through the doors of that place, and it never budged from that rating.
There are little gems such as this dotted around New York City (please, if you haven't been, go to McSorley's Irish pub and to Fraunces Tavern, and please do an upload of them at some point). Please do more of these historical places (that are, comparatively, reasonable priced), and less of these franchise places.
That steakhouse is so steeped in history. On the one hand, it's veery English, and on the other it's entirely American.
For what you paid, for that level of service, for that location, for that history, and for that food and wine... CHEAP AS CHIPS!
The price you paid would've probably got you a couple of those greasy diner 'meals' from that place Damien recommended. No contest really.
The mutton looked spot on, the advice from the waiter also spot on, and you could probably have cut it with a butter knife. Everything about it was perfect. The chap who showed you around was brilliant, and his knowledge fantastic.
I'd give that man a 30% tip, and either don't tip in places where the food & service is sub-par (that place that served the round chips), or cut it back to 10% tip to those places. Places such as this steakhouse 100% earn their tips, and I'd tip them even if I didn't have to.
Something different and a great vlog!
I always wanted to go to a restaurant that serves Mutton maybe your find one in uk to review
when I'm on my travels especially around the Midlands I have started visiting places you have reviewed
Bathazar…80 Spring Street
Your vlogs are very informative and entertaining, I really enjoy watching them only one problem! They make me HUNGRY. When are you going over to Ireland, Irish beef is the BEST, there
is some very good steak houses over there.
Hi new Subscriber here what was the greens served with the Lamb please looked a bit like Pak Choi
Thank,s New York looks great you do it justice
Very pale for mint jelly…. Used to it being dark green. But I’d definitely give it 10+
A good vet could revive that looks raw
Well glad you like it Lee not my cup tea 🍵 do itfor
Yorkshire at last had good meal all mates missed out on good place top blog as ways wife come home 🏡 now all best Lee
Ten plus all the way.
And as for the Mutton I think a good vet could get that back to life and back in the field looked way to rare for my liking I always have my steaks medium rare but that looked like it still had a heartbeat lol
10 plus
Morning hun hope you slept well. That meal looks fantastic and tasty Wow so brilliant. And the history of the place was so interesting and my score is 10 plus and for the price 45. 6 very good quality food for the price of that it's about time you had a good meal xxx
looks amazing
When I was in Nashville we had lamb and shoestring fries with glow in the dark mint sauce,$250 for 2 ,but it was my birthday.
Was it a whole lamb?!
@@jimharvey9552 No lamb cutlets
The mutton chop looked succulent and the ambience was unique. As for mint jelly...a sickly sweet crime against sheep everywhere, but probably the only way to get most Americans to try lamb/mutton of any kind, since it is so unpopular over there.
Look at the dust on them Tobacco pipes 🤮don't send Gordon Ramsey there, have they not dusted the place since 1885. Gary the manager was brilliant telling you about the History of the place I could of listened to him all day. Got to say the food looked absolutely delicious Just a pity they didn't turn the lights on, no wonder Gary carries a Torch around.Another Great Vlog Lee. Onwards
Lee brilliant video as usual.carnivores will tell you the fat is the best bit great for your health.
Look it up.😊
Have you ever been to Russ & Daughters for a Begal?
Did you mention how dark it was again?
They don't have the quality of lamb in the States that we have at home . It's not their meat of choice and not as popular as in the UK . I didn't think it looked all that , mutton 👎🏻 what a beautiful venue though and very interesting to listen to the ( manager/ owner ?? )
Thank you 😔
Day 200 asking lee to come for a parmo in Middlesbrough when he gets back
Giving that a 10 certainly doesn't seem unjustified. Meat looked very nice, great venue and history lesson 👍
Keens is famous for their Mutton. Their Prime Rib is amazing too. One of the few NYC fine dining establishments that is worth their cost.
Auch well Lee, least you gave me n the Mrs a great laugh with this vid, fatty mutton chops, undercooked, dripping wet and then you added jelly to it, the Mrs was boaking n I couldn't stop laughing, she said was the jelly a moist maker!!
I really enjoyed this one Lee! Garry did a great job of showing you round the establishment. Mint Jelly is my favourite with mutton or lamb. We have an excellent family recipe for it and grow the mint in the garden😊 I'm glad you finally got a good meal lol
You need chips or roasties with that Mac 😉
Really enjoyed this series in NY, thank you for showing us the sights as well as the food 👏🏼
Did the sheep eat your chips 😂 what was the greens? It looked like lettuce, nice restaurants though and the guy was super helpful and informative
A 10 plus, WOW! I was surprised, though, that there was no choice of potato with the meal and other greens other than lettuce. I'd give it a 9.5 because of that. Definitely a character restaurant.
Loved the Maître d explaining the history of the place. It would definitely enhance the dining experience for me. Food looked good too!
Interesting to here the history of this place. A rather beautiful building with a very cosy feel. Food looked good, I like pink lamb. Thanks Lee
I think you should go back and count all the pipes just to verify that there are over 9000 on the ceilings.lol
Puts the overpriced burgers and fish and chips into context pay a few extra dollars and get a proper restaurant experience
See the dirt on the pipes,on the roof...ugh mucky pups...
The presentation didn’t look that great looked a little bit of a mess on the plate but I suppose it’s the taste that matters but I would of thought it would of looked a little better than it did
When u said price I thought be about 100 and to think what u paid for a burger .
*Finally* some good food! Long (long) ago my NYC routine was sidecars at the 21 Club then dinner at Keens. While the 21 Club is sadly no more, it's great to see Keens is still upholding its high standards! 💖
I wasn't keen on it Lee, it was just meat, it needed something else.,.... vegetables or potatoes, something to make it a meal 😊...... enjoyed video and
HAPPY valentine's Day ❤️❤️❤️💎xx
Don't get mutton anymore my lovely mother would do mutton leg in the oven she'd put it on early and slow roast it all day for Sunday dinner the smell would drive you mad with hunger 😋 Irish stew with butter beans as well big hunk of bread on the side
Babe Ruth I was the first American who had a voice box , he smoked a 1000 Cuban cigars a day lol , Lee where's everybody gone in New York . Lol , can't wait RETURN OF THE MACC so let's have a f.ckin party lol for you American viewers you're version is Ramell lol .I LOVE America 👍🏻🙏
Here in NYC we are educated, we understand Englandshire is part of Scotlandshire, even though Scotterland is part of Icelandshire, or is that Swedenshire? Who cares, it cold. Amazed you come from Englandshire, your Engliiiish is so good. Sorry, Engleesh.
A bargain compared to James May Pub. You had a burger and fries at a picnic table for £17.50
Here the same is £20 in Manhattan.
Lee in the past I have seen you eat some real rubbish. That dish is not one of them. More like a museum than a restaurant. If I even went to N/Y, I would eat there every day. Sorry but you can keep your Burgers and Fish and Chips. I'll take the Mutton with Mint jelly. One of the best vlogs you have done.
I think I’d rather have mine cooked to be honest!! 😂😂
Made me laugh how the manager bloke just started talking before you could even introduce him 😂 Not to keen on lamb myself, to greasy and fatty for me. Good overall vlog though... 🐑👍
Lee that mutton looked really nice to be fair but the price is a bit steep, I remember getting a mutton stew crusty cob& butter in the Old John Peel in Bowness on windermere for £ 4.99 and it was Amazing!
10 out of 10 !!!!!! Sheer Perfection. Music was a nice touch as well . Well Tommorrow it willl be 9 c in Toronto then up to a Balmy 12
No Offence mate but it didn't Look very appealing to me but everyone is different I guess !!!! Xx
@Dale Steel , if 'banging' means 'bad', then I would tend to agree...!
Very interesting to hear the history and see all the memorabilia but the man's voice sounds like it's on the wrong speed😴😴😴. I think the food looked reasonable but not something I would eat myself! 😊
I'm so glad you found something in New York that you really enjoyed.. and it did look delicious to me too. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. And I hope something else good comes along to eat. And for God's sake be careful.
£4 worth of lamb there, that’s problem with US unfortunately 😢- but you pay for the service…
Can’t smoke indoors anymore because someone will cry about it. Oh how the times have changed! People are weak.
All that meat and no potatoes? Maybe a bit of garlic mash to soak up those beautiful juices? Looks fantastic and a brilliant video.
You could put that lamb back in the field and it would run away bleating. That was way under medium. But that said, nice to see you branching out into different food.
I believe you when you say it was excellent but didn't look appealing at all and the presentation looked appalling but suppose it must of tasted better than it looked... Wouldn't of been hard 😂
At Last Sunday dinner done New York style Lol Glad you enjoyed what you had but I didn't see any Yorkshire Pud on your plate, are you waiting to get back home to have that..
Has there ovens broke that was that raw I could hear it bleating when you stuck the fork in! And as for it being dark that's to hide the blood swirling round the plate - 10
Looked very nice although I don't personally like mutton.
An old and interesting place and the meat looked tender and juicy, it could do with some roast potatoes though. Makes a change from the other food you have had to eat recently.
That meat looked so rare it reminded of Turkish delight
That must have been one big chop before they cut it up. You left about 5 quids worth of food on your plate at the end - I would have mopped that up. 😋
Looked really good. But I'd prefer it served with a bit of veg not just a plate of meat.
Needed a side of fries with that 😆
That reasturant is steeped in history and the food amazing I'm glad you enjoyed the mutton meal great video xx
Glad u enjoyed your dinner Lee, everything looked very spot on…A little word of advice for the future- u can’t have lamb without the mint jelly. It’s like having bread without butter, the side dish u had a very interesting history lesson to wash it down. Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦
He had mint jelly
@@stevenmitchell4156 For sure the most important part!!😎👍
I hate the sight of undercooked meat. Fully cooked for me and no fatty and chewy pieces.
wow, Lee, longest ive not heard you talk........😜😜
Mint jelly isn't some strange new thing, but a traditional side for lamb.
Thank goodness you have had a decent meal was beginning to think all New York food was as plastic as there cheese x
Looked OK. Meat still too pink for me but so glad you enjoyed it.
typical American voice so soothing lol great video keep up the great content
