Culinarily, “Dirty Bones Carnaby” represents uncomplicated enjoyment with a twist. The menu is characterized by NYC classics that are refined with great attention to detail. Particularly popular is the “Chicken & Waffles” – crispy fried chicken served on freshly baked waffles, accompanied by spicy maple syrup and a cool ranch sauce that provides an exciting contrast. Another highlight is the “Mac Daddy,” a burger filled with a layer of mac ’n’ cheese, distinguished by its combination of juicy beef and creamy cheese. The “Cheeseburger Dumplings” are also a real eye-catcher: homemade gyoza filled with burger meat and melted cheese, served with a spicy burger sauce. For meat lovers, there’s the “Beef Short Rib,” a tender rib enhanced with an espresso-infused BBQ sauce that practically melts in your mouth. The portions are generous, and the ingredients are fresh and carefully selected, elevating the taste to a new level.
Creative cocktails and craft beers
The drink menu is equally impressive and a key part of the experience. Here, you’ll find creative cocktails that are mixed with great passion – such as the “Dirty Old Fashioned,” a modern twist on the classic with a hint of dirt and character. There’s also a selection of craft beers and milkshakes that pair perfectly with the hearty dishes. Especially on weekends, the restaurant attracts guests with a “Boozy Brunch,” where patrons can enjoy unlimited cocktails while indulging in rich brunch dishes. The bar itself serves as a central meeting point where guests can relax over a drink or wait for a table.

The service is another plus: the staff is often described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with a special talent for catering to individual requests. However, during peak times, there can occasionally be delays, which some guests notice. Nevertheless, the positive experience outweighs this, and the team ensures that visitors feel welcome – whether through a recommendation for the perfect cocktail or through small gestures that enhance the stay. The restaurant is also suitable for larger groups, as it is spread over two floors and offers a casual, sociable atmosphere.
