Fried Okra, Sauvignon Blanc, and Lobster Bisque.
Liselle B.

We were in the area nearby and decided to go get a snack. As we were walking, we stumbled across this unassuming neighborhood gem. It wasn't super crowded, so we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was welcoming and answered all of my questions as a first-time customer. Ordered the Lobster Bisque, a glass of wine, and Fried Okra. The Lobster Bisque was amazing! I can still taste it as I am writing this and it was a definite win for me! Nothing super fancy about this place, but the vibe that night was just right for my mood. If I am ever in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to stop by and try more of their menu offerings.

Busy Monday night!
Peggy H.

This place is such a local gem. I had dinner there this week with a couple of friends and once again, Brooklyn Cafe did not disappoint! It was on a Monday night, and when we left, it was packed! Be sure to make a reservation for sure! We asked for, and received, a quieter table away from the bar. A group of regulars are always there having a great time. It's always a happy, warm, friendly vibe. I had the halibut special and it was perfection. They do such a good job with their fish preps. One friend ordered the seasonal gazpacho and a side salad, while the other ordered the steak salad. She said it was the best steak she's had in a long time. I love that you can come for something as simple as fish tacos or something a bit more upscale with their fish and steaks. Parking can be a chore at peak times, but there is a deck right across the street.

Best burger! A must try!

Food was awesome, service excellent and the vibe was cool! Extensive menu definitely recommend!

Prime rib and asparagus
Krystle W.

Came here to celebrate my cousins birthday. It's a nice size place with a bar at the entry. We were seated in an enclosed area that I assume they use for larger parties. Our server was training but she did a very good job. I started with the fried oysters which were really good we ended up ordering an additional order. I had the special which was halibut the fish was a bit dry but well seasoned and the string beans were blanched but rubbery. We believe they waited for the steaks and allowed the other food to come out cold. My daughter's burger was burnt, but she said the fries were good. My mother also said the crab cakes were very good just not very seasoned.

Crab cake Asian Kale Salad
Kerstin T.

Not impressed with the service, when you walk in, no one greets you for a long time. Then menu is a little misleading. The server suggested a crab cake salad and I assumed it would be priced AS A SALAD around $16. Then check comes and it's $21 for a small portion... I see pictures of previous orders and see two crab cakes and green beans so I asked her I thought this was a salad and not a plate and she said oh it's the same thing, you just get the option to do a salad or with green beans. I wish she would have said the price before suggesting because I would have never paid $21 for one small crab cake and a side salad that was mediocre. The crab came itself was delicious. My soda was flat. Took over 20 mins to get the check and was left just waiting for someone to come and check on my food and get my check.

Rueben

We had an early evening reservation at Brooklyn Café following an afternoon play at City Springs Theatre. The walk from the theater to the restaurant was short and pleasant, and we left our car in the theater's parking garage -- very convenient. The restaurant itself is very clean, with mostly booth seating and a few tables near the bar. Speaking of the bar -- it was absolutely packed. Despite the crowd, we were seated immediately. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. One thing that surprised us was the menu -- it was much shorter than what I had seen online or in photos from other reviews. There were no burgers, and the only sandwich option was their Reuben. My wife ordered the "Brooklyn Famous Reuben," which she really enjoyed. I chose "Jack's Creole Chicken and Sausage." I'll admit, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The dish consisted of a grilled chicken breast and sliced sausage served with rice in a creamy sauce. I had anticipated something more akin to a stew or gumbo -- something slow-cooked with andouille sausage and the classic Cajun "holy trinity" of vegetables. Still, while the presentation caught me off guard, the flavors were solid and enjoyable. Overall, Brooklyn Café delivers a pleasant dining experience with great service and a cozy atmosphere. Reservations are highly recommended -- it gets very busy, especially during peak hours.

Awesome Fish Sandwich
Lily S.

A nice little cafe that has a full bar. The chilled asparagus was soooo good, the sauce it came with was to die for. The awesome fish sandwich wasn't bad, I just wish it wasn't on a burger bun instead of a toasted buttery ciabatta.

Delicious Reuben sandwich
Tim G.

Went back to the Brooklyn Cafe this week for lunch and had to have their over stuffed Reuben sandwich! There was a good crowd for 1:30, but I think there are a lot of regulars that keep the restaurant busy all the time. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, with a friendly, responsive serving staff that fills your water glass before you have to ask! My wife had the smoked salmon salad which was delicious as well. If you haven't been here, I guarantee you'll have a great meal!

Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Reuben!  Both were fabulous!
Kris B.

We dined here on a family visit back on Nov. 2. Both the sandwiches we had were fabulous, the atmosphere was fun, and Jeff our server was wonderful!! Next time we are in town, we will for sure go back!

Blackened Chicken Sandwich w/ French Fries
John T.

Nice restaurant! I went here for lunch with friends and overall a very good experience! Restaurant was very nice and clean. Food was very good, got the blackened chicken sandwich which was delicious and packed full of flavor. Portions were very good and not overwhelming. I could definitely tell the quality of food was high also. Service was also great, our server was very kind and continuously checked in with us making sure we were ok. All of our things we ordered came out very fast (drinks and food). Overall, this is a great lunch spot! Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Red flags were screaming at this point! So we proceed to order lunch and she explains why we couldn't because lunch time was over. My wife and I explained that no we walked in well within the remaining minutes of lunch, and that there were a few lunch items only offered during lunchtime that we wanted to take advantage of. Remember, if she would've come to greet us right away instead of being on her phone there would not have been an issue. Plus there was literally no one seated outside except for us! No excuse for this type of service. Plus I'm shocked that management didn't accommodate a first timer to your establishment being it was the server's fault. Amazing how these kind of restaurants forget there are soooooo many great options in this city! No one is going to put up with this type of nonsense. Funny how they forget who's the paying customer, and get arrogant instead of being flexible within reason to a great customer experience. Wasn't asking for anything extra just to honor walking in during lunch time to order lunch! If that's too much to ask then hello and goodbye and that's why we got up and left! This place won't be around long! Ridiculous! Word of mouth is everything in the restaurant business Kid Cashew!

The bowl options looked fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a quick but satisfying meal. We arrived around 11:45 a.m., just before the lunch rush. I ordered the barbecue chicken bowl with black rice. Overall, my bowl was pretty good. The portions were solid, the ingredients tasted fresh, and it was filling without feeling heavy. My coworkers ordered the Greek bowl and what I believe was a teriyaki style bowl. The only strong feedback we had was regarding the seasoning on the Greek bowl. I noticed the seasoning appeared to be sprinkled on top of the chicken after the bowl was assembled. I think if the chicken were tossed in the seasoning beforehand, it would create a more impactful flavor throughout. As it was, my coworker felt the bowl leaned slightly bland because the seasoning did not fully incorporate. What truly stood out to me was the customer service. I believe the owner came in while we were there, and he was incredibly pleasant and hands on. As the lunch crowd grew, it was clear he remembered returning customers and even their usual orders. That level of attentiveness makes a difference. I would definitely return to try more menu options. Next time, I may ask for extra sauce or seasoning to give the bowl a stronger flavor boost. Overall, it is a great lunch spot with solid bowl options in Sandy Springs

Service: Service was great from the time I walked in to the time I left. The ambiance was aesthetic without being overly trendy. A very clean and nice establishment that looks modern! In fact, the manager tied the tie that went with my dress for me because I didn't know how to do it. He also ended our night with a lovely champagne toast which was the perfect touch for my birthday. Devon was also an amazing waiter. I appreciated his attention to detail and promptness throughout the whole service. Food: All of the women at the table did the prix fixe menu which was an amazing deal that they offer I believe on Fridays and Saturdays. For the 4 courses you get, it is well worth the price and honestly a great deal for a date night if you have someone you want to impress :) Everything was phenomenal. The crab cake was full of meaty crab, the lobster bisque was velvety and creamy, the ginger duck steak was cooked perfectly and though I can't remember the dessert I got, likely because I was stuffed from the other courses, I'm sure it was delicious too. The menu was plentiful with great choices and it's honestly a whole lot of food! Drinks: This is the only thing I'd say wasn't my favorite. The drink I got was just okay to me, I likely could've done without it.

Service Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient Verdict I'll be back!

Wow--let's talk about this dining experience…read more The oxtail gumbo? My first time trying it, and definitely not my last. Every bite was rich, comforting, and fully satisfying. Then came the salmon bites on wonton--crispy, flavorful, and such a perfect balance of texture. For the entrée, the pasta with salmon was not only delicious but a generous portion that didn't miss. And for something sweet... the bread pudding? So moist, topped with ice cream and Oreos--it was giving indulgence in the best way. But what really sealed the night for me was the coffee pairing. It took the show and brought everything together beautifully. I also loved the range of the menu--there's something for every craving. The service was excellent, and the food presentation matched the quality. Honestly had me thinking, what took me so long to dine here? Especially since I'm in this area often. Bonus: patio seating for outdoor season, plus easy access with self-parking, valet, or a parking deck.

For starters, we shared pan-seared potato gnocchi with an order of grilled ciabatta on the side to soak up that delicious sauce. This is a must try!!! It was so good, I could have enjoyed it as my meal. The flavor was out of this world, the chef definitely got it right! I chose the braised lamb shank for my entree. Another banger. So tender it fell off the bone. Flavorful..Moist... SO good! The portion was huge too, it could be shared by two unless you have a big appetite. It was a whole meal for me another day. I can't say it enough, the chef really understands flavor profiles and how to make them come to life. Didn't order dessert, but I did have the coconut pecan old fashioned and Le Frenchie. Both were good but Le Frenchie was really my speed. Had the best time and experience here. I would visit in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Atlanta.
