This is a small mom and pop shop with great breakfast and lunch options. We went for lunch with great Korean options including several rice dishes and American options like burgers and fries. We decided to try the spicy pork over rice. The rice was bountiful with flavor and cooked very well. The spicy pork was surprisingly good for a place in sunset park. It was very affordable as well. We got 3 orders and 2 drinks for less than 40 dollars. I would definitely come again.

OLD SOGGY CAESAR SALAD Let's just say fresh food is not…read moretheir specialty. I ordered a Caesar salad without meat and replaced it with avocado. The price for the salad with chicken is $11 as they advertise. They charged me the same price as a meat option. The salad came with tomatoes (on a CAESAR SALAD), this made the crutoions soak with liquid faster creating a sogginess in the salad. The dressing was very very thin and watery. The lettuce however had to be at least 3 days old. It was so weak, so frail. THE WORST SALAD OF MY LIFE! And they charged me full price. This place does not have fresh ingredients and does not care about customer service.

I like to order from different diners and decided last night to try Sunset Park diner…read more The other benefit was the promo for first time customers. I decided to order turkey burger deluxe and a turkey spinach avocado wrap for work lunch. The order arrived safely and all condiments asked for as well. The only disconnect was the greens, could have been fresher. The turkey burger was a nice size however, lacked seasoning and the bun overpowered the burger. The fries were a decent portion but no onion rings accompanied the burger usually deluxe orders add at least two rings, coleslaw was average. The turkey wrap was tasty but not fantastic and a bit dry.. I know avocado can be pricey but the serving in my wrap was minuscule. I will give SP another try, maybe order a breakfast item in the future. As for my recent order, I'm a bit disappointed. Review is for delivery only. .

When we walked in, we got the warmest welcome from her. Her name is Debbie. I have a 10yrs old also and she immediately started having a conversation with her. When she sat us in the dinning room, she let us know there were 2 servers for the night with a 1 bus boy. She mentioned them by name and I loved that. We were attended to by Keith. He was such a gem. He recommended so really great choices for us. This is what we had. For drinks, my husband and my son had the Red Hook which they loved. I don't drink so I had the Captain Jack Mocktail. Appetizers- Seafood Tower and Rhode Island Calamari. OMG the calamari is a must try. It has a little kick but you will thank me later. I little heat never hurt nobody. Dinner- we all shared the Gala Apple Salad, Porter House, Linguini and Clams, Lundy's Potatoes, and Mac and Cheese. Dessert- The Butterscotch Sundae my daughter hogged, and the Lundy's Huckleberry Pie. Now let me tell you. I do not eat huckleberry pie, but that one, I could not believe how tasty. The crust was hard and sweet and the filling had the right flavor. Not too sweet or tart. All throughout dinner my husband and my son kept saying how great the food was. It was truly amazing and the service was great, with only 3 working and staying attentive to several tables. I would definitely come back. Maybe for a girls night next time.

If you haven't been to Lundy Brothers yet, stop what you're doing and reevaluate your life choices…read more This place is ICONIC--Brooklyn royalty. The space is so amazing it feels like someone crossed a historic landmark with a movie set and said, "Yeah, make it bigger." The bar? HUGE. A beautiful behemoth. It's the kind of bar you walk up to and instantly feel like you should order something classy just because the bar itself demands respect. You don't sip here--you pose. Live music had the whole place vibing like it was Brooklyn's own little Mardi Gras. Menu? Straight-up banger after banger. I kept reading items like I was scanning a treasure map. Drinks? Too good. Dangerous-good. "I should slow down but I won't" good. Now the oysters... Listen. Freshest in the five boroughs. FRESHEST. Like they practically filled out a change-of-address form from the ocean to your plate. But the true heavyweight champion of this place? Chef Steve Mannino. A culinary force. A flavor wizard. A gastronomic gladiator. The man cooks like he's trying to win a title belt every night. If Brooklyn had a Mount Rushmore of chefs, he'd already be carved in granite, smiling with a shucker in his hand. Service was on point, hospitality turned up to 11, and the whole vibe made us feel like VIPs with zero business being VIPs. If you want a meal that slaps, sings, sparkles, and maybe even changes your mood for the week, Lundy Brothers is the move. Over-the-top amazing. Already planning my return like it's a holiday.

Flavor of the dry aged meat was exquisite, and the fries it was paired with were even better than last time. We didn't have a reservation, but walked in around 5:45 and were quoted 45 minutes.

Loraine says I should "start writin these down," so now I'm doin that too…read more She heard about this place from somebody who "knows food," which usually means I'm drivin somewhere I don't wanna go, spendin money I didn't plan on. Place looks like a bar that got ideas. Dark wood, low lights, people actin like the burger is a life event. Drinks were strong, I'll say that. Had one that tasted like somethin my grandmother would respect, right before tellin me to slow down. Wedge salad was good. Cold, simple, did its job. Prawns fine. Pasta was solid. Burger is good. That's it. Not worth all the talk. I've had about the same standin over a grill in July, arguin with a man about his fence. Fries come lookin like saucers for no reason, but they were the best thing there. Loraine wouldn't get the French onion soup cause she "saw a picture." That's how decisions get made now. Pork chop had sweet mash and spicy greens. Didn't make much sense, but it worked. Food's good, drinks strong. I'll probly be back. Not up to me anyway.

We came by on a Sunday night after we decided we couldn't be bothered to cook and wanted to try a new spot in the neighborhood. We ordered some drinks, Franks in a Blanket and two of their daily specials, the spicy vodka rigatoni and the smash burger royale. We were honestly thrilled with both. For dessert we had the rich chocolate cake and brownie sundae served piled high in an old-fashioned milkshake glass. This is the type of place we want to be regulars at.

My server was fine. He wasn't overly friendly, but he got the job done. To start I ordered the Pretzel. It was huge! Definitely a shareable item. Next I got the Fish & Chips. These were good, although I found myself wishing it came with one more piece of fish. All in all, my craving was satisfied. I would come back.

The staff is friendly and offer great and interesting conversation. I ordered the French Toast Deluxe which comes with your choice of eggs and meat and my boyfriend ordered a Reuben. The french toast alone was enough to make me a life time customer. The best French toast I've ever had. It wasn't overly sweet and had a nice little crisp to it. I had never tried a Reuben before and decided to take a bite after watching him devour the first half. In that moment, I instantly became a fan. It was shocking news to discover that they haven't seen much business since the pandemic, considering how good the food and service is. I hope that changes once people discover their food. Until next time Big John.

But if you're looking for some excellent, straight forward, wonderfully crafted simplicity, this is in your wheelhouse. A quesadilla is a quesadilla, a hamburger a hamburger. Sounds boring? Not when your hamburger and quesadilla are amongst the best you've ever had at any diner, anywhere. Our waitress was very nice and allowed us to dine, unbothered. We ordered a fresh fruit platter for dessert. It included watermelon, mango, grapes, apples, strawberries, etc. very nice, well presented. The dining area certainly belies what happens in that kitchen behind the door. I'll be back to try some more simple, but excellent food.

We came because we were in the area and looking for a brunch spot. We saw someone said the steak was good! It was true! My partner said the steak was good! I myself got a quesadilla, which was also good. I thought that the food would be frozen as the menu was so big, but the quesadilla tasted like it was made then and there, maybe with frozen ingredients, but it was definitely put together on the spot to order. The waffle was okay. I wasn't a huge fan; the chocolate chips did not really melt into the waffle, which is something I look for in chocolate chip waffles, but my partner was still able to enjoy it! Despite this, I have to give this spot a 5 because the waitress was just so sweet and definitely brings this place to a 5-star!

From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess?
