About Empire Steak House Times Square
Book Empire Steak House Times Square when the group wants a familiar steakhouse format near the theater district rather than a casual Times Square fallback. It makes the most sense for client dinners, birthdays, pre-show meals where service pace and a more formal room matter more than culinary surprise.
Empire Steak House Times Square is a New York City venue with a business-casual dress code and posted evening hours on Monday, Saturday, Sunday, with earlier opening times Tuesday through Friday. Because the verified public details are limited, the safest way to plan is around the confirmed basics: the name, city, dress code, hours.
Use the listing as a practical New York City dining option rather than relying on unverified claims about menu specifics, awards, pricing, chef details, service format, or beverage offerings. If those details matter for your visit, confirm them directly before going.
Plan it for a New York City meal
The strongest confirmed planning detail is the schedule. Empire Steak House Times Square is listed as open Monday from 3–10 PM; Tuesday through Thursday from 11:45 AM–10:30 PM; Friday from 11:45 AM–11 PM; Saturday from 3–11 PM; and Sunday from 3–10 PM.
The dress code is business casual, so it is a reasonable fit when the group wants a more polished dining plan than a casual stop. Publicly verified detail is thin on other specifics, so recommendations should stay practical rather than make assumptions about the menu, price level, or dining format.
The repeat-visit play is about pacing and purpose
For a repeat visit, the useful move is to match the outing to the confirmed hours and the business-casual expectation. Earlier openings are listed Tuesday through Friday, while Monday, Saturday, Sunday begin at 3 PM.
Compared with other named New York City options, the choice depends on what kind of outing the group wants. Serafina Times Square, DaMarino NYC, Palm, The, Toloache, Carnegie Diner & Cafe are other venues to consider, while Empire Steak House Times Square remains the focus if its posted hours and business-casual setting fit the plan.

How Empire Steak House Times Square compares with similar nearby venues.
Where to go if this is not the right fit
If the group wants another steakhouse, try Palm, The. If the meal needs to be easier, lighter, or more flexible for a mixed party, Serafina Times Square is the safer cross-shop.
How It Compares
Empire Steak House Times Square is the practical steakhouse pick when the night is anchored around Midtown theaters and the group wants a more formal meal. Serafina Times Square is easier for mixed groups that want Italian and a lighter, more flexible dinner, while DaMarino NYC is the better fit when the occasion calls for theater-district Italian rather than steak.
Palm, The is the closest direct comparison because it also sits in the steakhouse lane. Cross-shop both if the priority is a classic New York steakhouse experience; choose Empire when Times Square proximity is the deciding factor, choose Palm when the group specifically wants another established steakhouse option.
For value and ease, Carnegie Diner & Cafe is the lower-commitment choice for casual groups, while Toloache is stronger for diners who want a livelier Mexican meal before or after a show. Empire is the more occasion-coded option, not the casual default.
