Emma’s is one of my favorites of the beaten path of mainstream White Plains NY. Food and service are always good and the beer selection is outstanding. A great place to grab dinner and a drink with friends after work. Emma’s is one of the best Restaurants in White Plains NY.

Loved the vibe, the drinks, and the menu.......I was there with 6 people on Saturday night. We waited an hour for a table, even though we had reservations and we didn't really mind. The noise level was cacophonous.

The menu was terrific and lots of things that I wanted to try, but unfortunately I wasn’t impressed with the execution of some of them:

The chicken lollipop appetizer is supposed to be the double boned wing piece with one bone removed and the meat pushed to the bottom and the little bone serving as the "lollipop stick" Here, they took a shortcut and used the thicker wing bone and cut the end off. It was meaty but messier to eat that way.

The macaroni and cheese with smoked bacon and peas was outstanding.

The spinach and artichoke dip with pita looked beautiful but honestly, was tasteless.

The French onion soup broth tasted great (not cloyingly sweet or salty as so often found) but the cheese wasn’t crispy on top from a salamander (broiler), despite specifically requesting it be browned. It seemed like provolone or commercial mozzarella that was melted in a broiler.

The chicken pot pie tasted good. It was served in a round ramekin bowl, not much bigger than the onion soup bowl with a piece of puff pastry that was baked separately from the pie and placed on top. The filling was tasty but the whole thing left me wanting more.

I tasted my wife's Filet Mignon special. We both felt it was a little tough but the sauce was delicious.

We kept watching these gorgeous looking desserts being served so we ordered three for the table. The Sticky toffee with vanilla ice cream was more like a bread pudding. I loved it but others weren’t thrilled. They preferred the warm chocolate cake with ice cream, which I was less crazy about. The apple tart with cinnamon ice cream was popular as well.

All in all, I'd say I was quite pleased with the experience and I’m anxious to try more of the menu. If you are looking for a quiet relaxed dining experience, this isn’t the place for you on a Saturday night. If you are looking for a casual pub with very reasonable prices, and potentially great food, then I highly recommend Emma's. For us, it was a good alternative to our usual hang-outs.


If you are searching for Restaurants in White Plains then this is a great place to visit.

Terrific local neighborhood Restaurant in Westchester NY.Emma's is one of my favourites of the well trodden path of mainstream White Plains NY. Food and service are usually good and the lager selection is outstanding. A great place to grab dinner and a drink with friends after work. Emma's is one of the finest Eateries in White Plains NY.

Liked the vibe, the drinks, and the menu.......I was there with 6 folk on Sat. night. We waited an hour for a table, although we had reservations and we did not truly mind. The noise level was discordant.

The menu was superb and lots of things that I would have liked to try, but sadly I was not impressed with the execution of a few of them :

The chicken lollipop appetizer is supposed to be the double boned wing piece with one bone removed and the meat pushed to the bottom and the small bone serving as the "lollie stick" Here, they took a shortcut and utilised the thicker wing bone and cut the end off. It was meaty but messier to eat that way.

The macaroni and cheese with smoked bacon and peas was exceptional.

The spinach and artichoke dip with pita looked beautiful but honestly, was tasteless.

The French onion soup broth tasted great ( not cloyingly sweet or salted as so often found ) but the cheese was not crispy on top from a salamander ( broiler ), notwithstanding specifically requesting it be browned. It appeared like provolone or commercial mozzarella that was softened in a broiler.

The chicken pot pie tasted good. It was served in a round ramekin bowl, not much larger than the onion soup bowl with a chunk of puff pastry that was baked separately from the pie and placed on top. The filling was flavorsome but all of it left me wanting more .

I tasted my wife's Filet Mignon special. We both felt it was a little tricky but the sauce was heavenly.

We kept watching these gorgeous looking puddings being served so we ordered 3 for the table. The Sticky toffee with vanilla ice cream was rather more like a bread pudding. I loved it but others weren't thrilled. They had a preference for warm chocolate cake with ice cream, which I was less nuts about. The apple tart with cinnamon ice cream was popular also.

At the end, I would say I was quite pleased with the experience and I'm anxious to try more of the menu. If you're searching for a quiet relaxed dining experience, this isn't the place for you on a Saturday night. If you're looking for a casual boozer with very fair prices, and potentially good food, then I seriously recommend Emma's. For us, it is a decent alternative to our common hang-outs.
