I met family at this place when I was in town. My uncle said it was one of his favorites and I can see why! Monday night at 6:30 they were hopping! The wine list is extensive! Lots of choices in every category. I had a Riesling and it was great! I ordered short ribs and they were amazing. Lots of food and great flavor. read more

The Signature Filet Salad is awesome! The service was great! Overall a pleasurable experience!

My wife and I stood at the hostess stand for about 15 minutes with no acknowledgment from any of the staff who walked past us. Decided to eat at the bar. Bartender was so busy we had to wait another 15 to get her attention to place an order. My burger was cooked as ordered but tasted like a dirty grill as did my wife's filet. Her mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. All in , 1glass of wine 1beer ( which one of the many fruit flies flying around landed in) 2 lobster bisque 1 cheeseburger, 1 filet ....$111.00 with tip. If you're not a regular don't wast your time or money! read more

I haven't been to BC in about 10 years. I wanted to love it like the last time I was there. I know its a local favorite I mean, cmon its been around 20+ years! But our experience tonight was severely lacking. Arrived on an early Friday evening 6:30 no reservation...ok, I get it, it's a busy Friday night, we would've waited if given the option, but the hostess was not friendly, (tall slim long hair) not welcoming, and hastily and dismissively seated us in a side room (event space?) where NO one else was seated and it looked and felt like we were shuttled off to some side room at a Piccadilly cafeteria. that's how bad the tables and chairs look. Our server Sam was very nice, accommodating, but the food, while everything tasted ok, really lacked any care and had zero presentation...I just don't care for my food being hastily dropped off by latex gloved runners. The smoked salmon appetizer, which we'd heard good things about, was two strange big hunks of salmon thrown on a large plate with a dozen toast rounds and a very small metal cup of sauce, which we had to ask for another, just to round out to the ratio of the appetizer. It was good but very unappealing ,just plopped onto a a plate that way. Salad was fine. Drinks were VERY mediocre. We split the dinner order of crab cakes-EXCELLENT crab cakes I will say, but again, a crab cake on a big plate with 4 spears of asparagus and a bare smidge of sauce over the crabcake was SAD looking! ok yes we split the dinner entree, so I didn't expect a big splash, but it was just so underwhelming bc of the presentation and complete lack of care or standard. very disappointing. I know its a a local favorite..probably decent food, but I gotta say our ...experience was DISMAL and somewhat embarassing, as I took a friend who'd never been there before. Would not repeat it. read more

This has been my "go to" restaurant in Sandy Springs for 18 years through 2 owners. When I bought my home, I asked the sellers what they would miss most about leaving Sandy Springs. They immediately answered "Brooklyn Cafe." They were right. When Covid hit, they were nimble and creative and offered a brilliant convenient take out service. While other restaurants struggled, they seemed to thrive and came out of Covid with a fiercely loyal customer base. But what is most important is they have a great menu and offer two usually great daily specials. I have never had a bad meal there but have had plenty great meals. I often get the specials and always trust Rob at the bar to pour a great glass of his daily recommended red. I am never disappointed. I really can't say enough about how great a Sandy Springs institution Brooklyn Cafe has become. It's that classically great neighborhood restaurant that everyone wishes they had close by. read more

Food was good, vibe not so much. Felt like I was intruding and didn't stay to finish my lunch. I was a single female grabbing a bite to eat and sat at the bar, which I thought would be better than taking a table at 11:30. But there are "regulars" whose space was claimed by the bartender and so I was directed to another seat as one of only 2 people in the restaurant. read more

Really loved this restaurant. Went with family, it is not pretentious but homey and the service was friendly and knowledgeable. Something for everyone on the menu good food well portioned and fresh. Will definitely recommend and return when I don't want to cook!! read more

Met a friend and this place was amazing ! An amazing choice of unique salads like grilled scallop, lobster We had their grilled artichokes and fig salad and salmon salad. Only disappointment was that the figs were not fresh Serv read more

Brooklyn Cafe outdid themselves! The food was exquisite and the service was impeccable. We both enjoyed a bowl of the lobster bisque to start. My husband raved over "Jack's" creole and I savored every bite of the lobster special. We will definitely be back soon! read more

This establishment is very popular in the Sandy Springs area. I have eaten there on several occasions and I was okay with the entire experience--ambiance, food preparation, menu offerings & service. The facility has always been reasonably clean. The cost is manageable and not over priced. However, I never have felt that I was having a dining experience. The Brooklyn Cafe is a good place to eat. I would choose another venue for entertaining guests, though. read more

I came here for lunch today with my 2 coworkers. I've heard about this place for years but finally came to check them out. Upon entering, I noticed it was PACKED which is always a good sign. I ordered the lobster bisque and the fish sandwich. The bisque came with a shot of sherry and some oyster crackers - very good!! The fish sandwich was grilled mahi mahi and I ordered with a side of fries - also delicious! Our server, Chance, was especially pleasant and made our visit even better. My only negative was the fried tomatoes (which I assumed were green, but were actually just basic, red tomatoes). My coworker ordered them as an appetizer but none of us were too thrilled with them. The sauce that came drizzled on them was pretty bland and needed salt. Other than that, I would definitely come back. read more

Went to Brooklyn Cafe for first time in over two years. Went early but started filling up. Wife and I shared a delicious lobster bisque. Subtle , good flavor, with ? Crab pieces? Wife had 4 juicy New Zealand lamb chops. Had taste, perfect & nice size. Brought bones home for dogs :) I had the crab cakes. Very very little filler. Excellent taste. We will be back much sooner. Parking ok today in large lot. Service very good from Carson read more

We were a group of twelve for lunch and it was a positive experience. The place is casual but the food is high quality. I had the Crab Cake Salad which was so delicious. I also had a taste of the Smoked Salmon and the Lobster Bisque and both were very good as well. Our server was so nice and efficient. He was gave us suggestions, took our photo, and separated our checks. read more

we both agree we will never understand the hype of this restaurant, its always packed the 2x we went even on weekdays, but honestly we just never find that this place is worth the money, I do not mind spending money on good food but this place is quite $$$ for what it is, and sooo many better restaurants in the area to dine at much cheaper or the same, again a bummer, 2x now and we will NOT be back anytime soon, read more

I usually like their food, but today the trout was overcook and service was non existing. Only saw the waiter after waiting 20 minutes of sitting down, waited long time to get my food and had to ask multiple times for the check. Very disappointing! read more

I have driven pass this place so many times and I actually heard about it while in New Orleans I'ma conference funny enough. I finally went and had their tortillas soup which was really good. I will return after work on a weekday which I found very relaxing. Great bartenders in relatively upscale diner read more

Ordered a to-go order for the first time to try out the restaurant. Upon checking out the woman taking my payment asked if I wanted to add gratuity and I said no thank you politely she said OH! I said well because it's to go and she said WELL I SURVIVE OFF OF $2.15 SO GOT YA!! I was completely humiliated in front of the entire restaurant. If I wanted to pay for service I would've sat down and been WAITED on and gladly tipped at least 20% but I ordered to go and was not waited on. What's happening in our world w customer service??? read more

The fried tomatoes were red and mushy... had a refrigerator aftertaste. Well fried though... Manager took them off our bill! Wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful... Blackened fish tacos came was an order of 2. I ordered the fries which were not salted but came out hot... nothing special about them. Each taco had a single long strip of fish that I wouldn't called blackened since it was coated in a red seasoning blend but they were very tasty... Flour taco shells were not treated, just out the package... Chicken salad had chilled grilled chicken breast strips with a very nice ginger dressing and peanut sauce... Crowded for a Tuesday but seems to be an "older" crowd (and I'm 65)! Parking is difficult in the plaza and made worse by the fact the restaurant is remodeling and has spots blocked off. All and all a nice dinner! read more

Amazing food, the friendliest staff around! I have never had an unpleasant experience here! read more

One of my absolute favorite places to eat! I can't recommend the lobster bisque enough and the trout dip is amazing! And the salmon & avocado egg rolls are to die for! read more

DANGEROUS - sharp bone in my taco-it was in my mouth and if I had swallowed it I would have been in the EMERGENCY ROOM. Simply not very good food. Noise levels are insane, service is friendly but SLOW (I had to wave both hands for 5 minutes to get salt and pepper). Fish tacos were tasteless, and crab cakes were all crab but NO FLAVOR. I have high blood pressure and never use salt, but even I used salt on both of them to get SOME flavor. read more

We arrived when they opened so it seems things were still being set up, but after a small wait, we were seated. Our server was very good and patient, as we explained we were having a little business meeting as well as lunch. Trout dip was delicious. Fish tacos and Reuben sandwich were both very good. I would recommend coasters at all the tables because the one annoying thing was that our water glasses were sweating a ton on the table, staining the table, and dripping on us. Coasters could help alleviate that. read more

Love this place! Visited here on a mid week for lunch. The service was on point. Even though she made one small error, our server was super nice and chatty with us and I felt like a regular. She also made a fantastic beer recommendation too. Aside from our main server, everyone checked on us. Love it! I got the trout dip since I had just eaten not too long ago and was really there to join the hubs on his break. The dip was good but it came with saltines.... Trout dip is really not an app you should pair with regular saltines crackers. If it was tuna, sure. They brought out some toast points for me and that was A LOT better, lol. Carr's crackers would have been good too but that's just me being a food snob. Lol! I really want to come back and try other dishes! read more

Everything went well. Great food, awesome service, comfortable ambiance. I plan to go back soon and often!

I would give Brooklyn Cafe no stars if I could. My low review is not about the food itself, it's about the quanity they serve. I ordered the lobster bisque soup to go which cost $9. When I got home there was about a half inch of soup in the container. I thought the person who filled the order made a mistake and took the bisque back and was told thats how much you get for $9. The pitiful amount they put in the container was an insult. If I was the manager of Brooklyn Cafe I would be embarrassed. The food is pricey to begin with. I will no longer patronize Brooklyn Cafe in Sandy Springs, Ga. read more

Shopping center location with indoor/outdoor, bar, and booth seating options. I highly recommend the shrimp/avocado salad with the avocado eggrolls as an appetizer. read more

Why is Brooklyn Cafe so popular? Why is the restaurant full? Why do people spend their hard-earned money here? These are all the questions we asked as we left after a baffling experience on a Thursday evening. Strike 1-The appetizer the menu describes as "Georgia's Best Fried Tomatoes" were tasteless, mushy RED fried tomatoes. Strike 2-The lobster bisque was thin and sour. Both appetizers went straight back to our server. Strike 3-Thirty minutes after placing our order, our server returned to let inform us that the kitchen was out of mashed potatoes. Strike 4-When our food arrived thirty minutes after that, the substituted french fries were half-done. They were sent back for replacement. Strike 5-Lamb chops and petite filet looked identical to black hockey pucks. Plates were unadorned and unappetizing, just meat on a plate. Our server was pleasant, efficient, helpful. We tipped her generously. But good service and ambiance cannot salvage a bad kitchen putting out horrible food. read more

The food are the family atmosphere are great. The atmosphere feels like a community favorite.

Great Ruben and Amazing House-made Crab Cakes. Solid service, although wait times can vary. Reservation is recommended to be seated within 10 minutes. Solid options and consistent fare. read more

Family-owned! Brooklyn Cafe donated a meal for the senior band members and their families. As Hemingway would most likely say, simple, honest food is always best. The roasted asparagus with fresh, high quality Parmesan. I'm not a huge fan of fish, but the salmon was incredible. Really good people, too. Convenient location in Sandy Springs. read more

Gave it a 2nd try (trying to use a gift card) - slightly better - food was dropped off (mediocre) and never was approached by our server. No check back to how it was going, no drink refills - nothing. Won't be back. read more

Great cafe in Sandy Springs. Staff is well trained and takes care of your table. The food is very good but currently there is not a steak on the menu. Although the beef ribs are excellent. On the night I was there, many were there for an after work drink and meal but it is clear many come here enough to be known by name. I will come back and my elderly parents can usually find something they like on the menu. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Great ambiance. Taylor was wonderful. We had thr reuben,

A wonderful place for date night or to meet up with friends! Great wine selection. The crab cakes are a 10/10. Tons of crab, no filler, gluten free- full out deliciousness. Jacks creole has the absolute best sauce. I could put that sauce on everything. I can't wait to go back for the great food and service! read more

Wow! Another incredible experience at Brooklyn Cafe. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with avocado egg rolls and the smoked salmon. Both appetizers were fabulous. Our entrees were equally as wonderful. The entire resaturant staff was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We can't wait to visit this 5 star restaurant again very soon. read more

This happens, a relatively suck place to eat, gets a great neighborhood following because staff is friendly and the food is almost palatable. No one is getting poisoned, the food does not smell spoiled, but with a little training, my Pittie could put out better tasting and better looking food. I am not being a jerk because anyone in the cafe was mean. Everyone was accommodating and nice, but your food is so lackluster, I asked my party if they wanted to go to Sonic. I do not own a competing establishment, I just love to eat, and this place is like all the very mediocre neighborhood places around the country. People are too lazy to explore. Run dont walk to somewhere else. read more

Great spot for lunch always enjoyed my visit. Very friendly staff . They sell wine also

We love Brooklyn Cafe. The food and the service are both wonderful. We have been many times and have never been disappointed.
