We arrived on a Friday afternoon, took our seats, and after some confusion around table service (it is) ordered coffees, and I took advantage of the all day breakfast menu, and asked for the 'farmer' (poached eggs, rosemary potato hash, bacon and sourdough). The coffees came out first, and were fantastic. Using Brisbane's Cup Coffee beans, they make a great cappuccino. The food was also excellent. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch the chef make your breakfast as you quiet your stomach's rumbling. The eggs were 'just so' and oozed out decadently over the twice cooked bacon. The potato hash wasn't dry, and the rosemary wasn't overpowering. As we left, I grabbed a second coffee, knowing that I was a long way from my next good one. If you're in the area, Blackboard should absolutely be on your to do list.

While I'm not a vegetarian, as you'll see if you keep reading this review, I enjoy vegetarian dishes and felt this was a breath of fresh air compared to most vegetarian burgers are either mushroom or veggie. My partner got the Depot Burger which had so much on it he couldn't even finish. The next time we went with another couple, and I had the Coney Island hot dog. For whatever reason cheese sauce is hard to come by in Australia, so having this chili and cheese dog was great. The Brooklyn Depot definitely lived up to its "American street food" motto. On a side note, I ordered my French fries with a side of ranch, and the American server asked me where I was from. When I replied that I'm from Michigan, she said only people from the States order ranch with their fries, and we commiserated about our shared love of ranch. Haha. She also didn't charge me for the ranch. Love this place. The only somewhat negative thing I'll say is they don't take reservations, and we had to wait almost a half an hour to get seated. But the food is worth the wait. Wish they had more beers on tap but considering they just opened, hopefully maybe in the future that will change.

Came here for 4th of July as we are Americans and wanted to celebrate at an American style diner…read more It was very easy making a reservation and finding parking nearby. Upon entry we checked in with the cashier and were seated at a reserved table. We both ordered burgers as well as cheese fries, a strawberry shake, and a dr pepper to drink. Now I was very much in between a 3-4 star review however because you can't do it in the middle I rounded up simply for their outstanding service and delicious burgers. They were the most "American-Tasting" burgers I have eaten since being in Australia. Fantastic quality and they even have a thousand-island type sauce!! However I was very disappointed with the milkshake and cheese fries. They took the term MILKshake literally and it simply tasted like strawberry milk. It was not thick like a regular ice cream based shake. I left nearly the entire thing on the table after having one taste. The fries were also a disappointment. Definitely don't expect them to taste like cheese fries back home. They simply had a cheesy sauce resembling nacho cheese instead of having melted cheese. However due to the fantastic service and incredible burgers I'm giving this place 4 stars. I will definitely be back for the burgers!

Between us we tried the southern fried chicken wings, the chilli, the choc malt shakes, the double beef burger, the burger special (spicy) and the Mac and cheese. The milk shake was awesome-great flavour. The Mac and cheese was delicious too-nice strong cheesy flavour. My husband loved his double burger but I found mine (the special) to have way too much mayo on it and it just overpowered the burger flavour and it fell apart in my hands. Finally the chicken was just a bit too bland for fried chicken. Plus fried chicken should probably be whole pieces of chicken, not wings (just my view on this though) The service was excellent and the tap beer was great too. Would go back for a standard burger and shake. Price was reasonable but I also have a little bit of an issue in paying nearly $15 for a burger and you still have to buy fries or something on the side. If I could, I would probably give Easy Street 3 1/2 stars but because I can't, I will round it up to 4 base on the great service.

Place looked impressive, they have a prohibition theme going on and some staff were dressed in that era. I must say, they looked very stylish. A smiling and very personable Abigail took our coffee orders and the charming Shannon took our food requests. Kudos to the flair and the warm interaction they both had. Nothing was troublesome and the food arrived in less then 10 minutes. Wow. I would definitely come here again; especially after Abigail took the time to talk about the Loose Moose like it was her own business. The young lady has passion and it's so obvious she loves what she does. The cocktail menu was pretty phenomenal and those that are interested there're about 80 varieties of whiskey!

Old school diner type window allows you to see the food coming out from the kitchen. A small selection of desserts are available in a deli case at the front, perfect for a quick take away for later. Based on the reviews and the menu, my wife and I decided to try out Tribeca NYC after a morning of market shopping. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted and seated quickly in the back booth, near the kitchen window. The server brought us a menu and excused herself. Within two minutes, another server came to ask us about drinks. She chose green tea and I optioned for the Virgin Bloody Mary. The alcoholic version isn't served until 10am. After a few minutes of browsing the menu and deciding, our server took our order. I chose the Saint Bernard Eggs Benedict (Fried Chicken, Poached Eggs, Baby Spinach, and Hollandaise Sauce on Toasted Sourdough) and a side of breakfast potato and my wife chose JFK's Truffle Eggs (Eggs any style topped with Black Truffle and sauteed Mushrooms, served on Sourdough) and a side of bacon. During our wait, the drinks server brought out my wife's tea but informed me apologetically that alcohol was not available until 10am and I had to reaffirm that I wanted a Virgin Bloody Mary. It took almost half an hour to eventually receive my drink, which was a bit disappointing. My wife confirmed that I did say Virgin. Oh well. After receiving our food, we tucked right in. My meal: Eggs were well poached, with a nice runny yolk. The hollandaise sauce is decent but not the best. I found it on the too lemony side. Definitely not enough to cover the entree. It was basically a dollop on each egg which almost made it pointless and not worthy of being called an Eggs Benedict. The chicken was a very nice flavor but the crust fell apart as soon as I cut into it and went soggy very quickly. I'm unsure what causes the spice in the dish, the spices in the chicken batter or the secret relish but if you don't like spicy foods, choose something else. I love spice, so it was a very delicious flavor to me. Not hot, just a nice subtle spice hit. The dish is served with two large, thick pieces of Sourdough. It's, eh. One piece was enough for me. It could have used some butter. Warning, the breakfast potato is sweet potato home fries. It threw me off because I was not expecting sweet potato. Don't get me wrong, they were absolutely delicious and had a wonderful taste but I'm not big on sweet potato for breakfast and wish it would have been clear on the menu what I would be getting. I would definitely order some for lunch or dinner. Beware, the Bloody Mary is very spicy, with a back of the throat kick. My kind of drink, so I loved it. Wife's meal: Eggs were perfect, soft poached. She acknowledged that she loved every morsel. The only downside is that American bacon gets mentioned throughout the menu, so she ordered a side of bacon, with hopes of having American bacon, but that is definitely not what she received. The side of bacon doesn't mention being American, so unsure if it only comes with certain items or if that is their version of American bacon. Ask your server for verification if you don't want to be disappointed. Overall, it was a decent meal. It's not something I would write home about but I would recommend it. Good quantity of food for the pricing. I do have to give a shout out to our server though (apologies for not catching her name) because she was great. My wife was highly impressed with her professionalism of quality checking the plates at the kitchen window. She was attentive, friendly, and gave us very awesome customer service. Try Tribeca NYC, you'll probably like it.

Walking in I immediately noticed it reminded me of Islands or Dukes from the States. It has surfboards all around, focuses on the beach, and is a popular burger joint. I checked in with the hostess and was directed to my friend's table. Menus are already located on each table as well as napkins and condiments. I chose to order the Mona Lisa which had truffle sauce and caramelized onions. Those were the ingredients that led me to my decision. I also ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri as I dint drink alcohol but it sounded delicious. The food came out relatively fast and my burger was delicious! It was far better than I expected. The drink was fantastic as well, however lost one star on the review due to them charging me the same price as if I had gotten it with alcohol. Overall a fun place to go with a group of friends or a very casual date night. It tends to get pretty loud so I wouldnt go here on a date if you want to talk and get to know someone.
