    If you love a juicy roast beef sandwich I think I'll enjoy this place. I do prefer a bit more flavor but that is just a preference. They are known for the gravy dipped roast beef. Defiantly a unique experience.

    Those that know...know, and those that don't highly recommend Old School Brooklyn restaurant know for their Roast Beef sandwich drenched in au jus and I mean the entire sandwich bun and all is drenched. Great atmosphere, all wood interior, I believe it's the same as when they opened in 1938. My only complaint is the waiter, and I think he was one of the owners Sullivan didn't say to you want cheese and onions with that roast beef sandwich, later on I saw on social media most people order it that way. The beer on tap is Bud or Bud light both come served in a very frosted and cold mug. Homemade blueberry or apple pie, blueberry pie was delicious a la mode with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. It's an experience of old school and old Brooklyn restaurants that you don't find anymore and this one is still doing it great.

    Brennan & Carr is one of those Brooklyn bucket list spots you just have to visit. The place was packed when we got there, so you can tell it's a local favorite. The moment you step inside, you're transported back in time. The old-school vibe really adds to the experience. We ordered their classic staples, and while nothing completely blew me away, everything was still really tasty. Definitely worth checking out at least once for the history and experience alone.

    Get the roast beef sandwich. Juicy, perfectly sliced and filling. Get the cheese fries as well, it's non-negotiable. Very interesting old school ambiance. The pie alone is worth the trip

    "The Gargiulo Burger" Amazingly delicious!

    This place is a Brooklyn Classic -Respectful, courteous, very helpful waiters wearing white butcher jackets seat you in this small old fashioned real wood paneled dining room with a brick fireplace and simple wagon wheel chandeliers - very comfortable atmosphere. This is the kind of place where you can take a picture with friends or family, and it will be excellent and memorable photo! Let's get to the food - I've been coming here since I was 10, always getting the roast beef dip, which was and still is an amazing sandwich, but this time I got the exclusive Brennan and Carr "Gargiulo Burger". I get this occasionally because, "It's a different kind of Amazing sandwich!" Medium rare beef patty, juicy roast beef, cheese, but not too much, and some seriously tasty onions!!! I asked him to only give me a "Quick dip" in the beef broth, so the bun wasn't too soggy. You can taste the delicious roast beef and burger together in each bite... Heaven. Little known fact: "The Gargiulo Burger" was named after The Gargiulo Family, who, many years ago, loved and frequented Brennan and Carr's many years ago! All I have to say is "Thank God for The Gargiulo's!" Is it a burger, is it a sandwich, I really don't know - But I do know it is amazingly delicious! To be honest, In the decades I have been coming here, I have never had anything but delicious food and courteous service, it is the last of its kind... A true American classic.

    Clam Chowder with crackers and Tabasco. Perfect!

    Came for the clam chowder and had to come back the next day again because I couldn't stop dreaming about! Simple creamy soothing soup with chunky potatoes, omg what could be better on a rainy day?

    Food was alright. My wife was just happy we got everything pictured for $31. She enjoys affordable prices. I don't recommend getting the hot roast beef sandwich double dip, the buns come out soggy. But if the double dip and soggy buns are your thing, this place will be your jam.

    Service was consistent and good. The food was good not great onion rings were good. Roast beef. The roast was very wet cheese and beef for good.

    This place is one of the few restaurants that I've been going to since I was a baby. Mostly my grandma loved this place and then my mom and my aunt loved this place and they always took us whenever we passed by. I still go sometimes with my mom and personally it's just a good memory place because of all the good memories shared by my family here. The food is delicious to be honest. I personally don't eat wings anywhere because they're just not my taste but here is probably my favorite place to get them. They are a little bit greasy, but they are also chicken wings that are fried so like get what you expect. Everyone else in my family lives for the roast beef sandwiches and you have to get them according to my family dipped in the liquid. Apparently it's the best way to eat them. And I have to agree. It does taste really good that way. The restaurant is definitely with a theme like old America and a little bit outdated, but it fits the vibe of the restaurant. Definitely a nice place to check out and if you live nearby, a good place to eat lunch every now and then.

They say some things age like fine wine, and I believe this restaurant falls in that category. After 55 years, this family oriented fast food shop known for its famous roast beef sandwich and other popular greasy goodness is still standing. I swung by recently for my usuals and glad to report that everything still tasted the same, just slightly more pricey year after year as expected. My regular order has always been the Roast Beef w/ Cheese, which was maybe $4 when I first tasted it over 25 years ago. It is now $9.45 or $.50 less for no cheese. Regardless, the roast beef (medium) is still tender and juicy, piled on top of a soft and pillowy, freshly made bread that's been dunked in a bath of delicious beef gravy. The ooey gooey cheese makes it complete for me. Everything else is solid. Nothing fantastic or worth driving out of your way for. Don't come here looking for the best version of everything on the menu. However, if in the neighborhood, this place is an inexpensive experience that brings you back in time, when the world was less complicated and a night out with family meant a delicious trip to a local restaurant like Roll-N-Roaster. Enjoy it for what it is and you'll have a good time.

The pizza was mediocre. For our entrees I had the shrimp avocado salad and my husband got the gosht burger. Our entrees were really tasty. We also got a side of fries for our daughter which we didn't really have to order. It is a little pricey but look at their location! When we got the bill we were charged $10 for the play place. I asked for it to be removed because my daughter didn't really play there and didn't have socks so our waitress removed it. It's not a big playground area and how long can kids really ply there if they're there for the restaurant? They charge $10 on weekday and $15 on weekends.
