It is not a Resy problem. It is a prime-time problem.
Keens has run on West 36th Street since 1885 and still serves the mutton chop, the porterhouse, and a clay-pipe ceiling that has not changed in a century. The room is large and ranked inside the city's secondary-market top 20 even at its age.
Resy lists the room and the 7-to-9pm tables clear quickly. The Pub Room and bar take walk-ins for the full menu and are the practical doors for a single seat or a quick chop.

How do I get a reservation at Keens Steakhouse?
Name Keens Steakhouse and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.
Why is Keens Steakhouse so hard to book?
Keens Steakhouse is one of the most in-demand tables in Midtown. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.
When do Keens Steakhouse reservations open up?
Keens Steakhouse releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
