Clark's wrap
Katelynn T.

We were seated after 10 minutes when we walked in on a Saturday afternoon. I liked how open and welcoming the space was, and the servers were attentive. The prices on the menu were great in comparison to most brunch places in nyc. We got the Clark's wrap, which was straightforward and yummy with Cholula. The nutella french toast though was excellent. Fluffy and not too sweet! Overall good experience but I recommend skipping the orange juice because it tasted watered down for some reason.

Having grown up in NJ, I'll always have a soft spot for a neighborhood diner. However, you will absolutely not catch me here during peak days/hours. On the weekends you'll often find a line outside and the entire restaurant packed. That is not the energy I need for my diner dining experience. Clark's is a beautiful location though with fully glass windows and an interior that reminds you of the good ol' days. My favorite time to visit is on an off weeknight (like a Thursday after work) for a casual catch up with friends or a quick bite before going off to do something else for the evening. There's always a neighborhood crowd here (families & seniors) and the food is always solid, but it won't blow your top off. It's good, casual, American diner fare. I love their small grilled cheese menu. One of my favorites is the pesto and grilled tomatoes where I also opt to add ham. The chicken wings are crispy and delicious. As is the cheeseburger. Clark's has a strong neighborhood feel and does diner culture well for being located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.

Pancakes with strawberries

A good, cheap meal. Friendly service. Typical diner - huge menu, pancakes, omelettes, french toast, eggs, coffee. Kid friendly and outdoor tables too.

I'm originally from NYC but never made it to Brooklyn Heights, me and wifey were ferry hopping and decided to get off at the Dumbo/Fulton landing. A quick 10 minute walk up Old Fulton and hang a right on Henry St and you will come upon Clark's. It was a beautiful morning so we decided to go Al fresco in front, plenty of seating. Now this may not be fine dining cause it's called a diner but it is a fancy diner. A manager/boss type dude saw us circling a table outside and walked over and helped, he even pushed the table next to it closer so we had more space with the bambina. Wifey ordered a breakfast burrito and the bacon was amazing (I tried it) and I ordered a western omelette wrap and the cheese was melted just right, perfecto! The food was going down right, the people watching was beautiful so we decided to dive into a little morning prosecco action, yum yum! It started heating up so boss man brought over some ice for the drinks, guy is a patron whisperer, I swear. We enjoyed a double prosecco and happily bounced happy and full! Prices were very reasonable considering the experience, would absolutely return soon. Once done make sure you take a walk down the hill to the Promenade and check out breathtaking views of the NYC skyline under the Brooklyn Bridge.

I had an early brunch here, they have the full menu available at all hours that they are open so I was able to get spaghetti at 9:30 in the morning and they had mimosas which were perfectly blended. This was my second time coming here and I was not disappointed. They have a menu where something can appease to anyone.The staff is very attentive, respectful, and friendly. The food comes out quick and it was definitely tasty. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Smoked Salmon platter
Tom M.

Nice neighborhood spot with a great local feel with responsive service even on a busy Sunday morning. The planter was good, but not as tasty as I thought it would be. The salmon was really salty with a small portion as was the avocado. The poached eggs were good, but the potato pancakes really stole the show. Really crispy and thick. Not sure why the total combination just didn't taste as good as I would have expected, even though I love all the ingredients. The bacon was really crispy, but again, just not as tasty and seemed overcooked like in an oven. The sausage was good but pretty expensive for only two links. Overall, $50 is an expensive breakfast.

The fantastic Shakshouka

I recently had the pleasure of dining here at the recommendation of the front desk receptionist at hotel I was staying at and I'm so glad she told me about this place because it was amazing. The service was amazing, the staff were all super friendly and the restaurant itself was really charming and almost European in its design. It was such a wonderful place. However, the main event was the food. Until now I have never had the chance to try Shakshouka before, but now that I've tried Clarks', I need to have it again. It was amazing. To make it even better, the prices were reasonable by NYC standards and the portion was very generous for the price point. Overall I was extremely satisfied and glad that I stopped by, an impressive job across the board.

Kadeem S.

Solid experience, I was walking on the street and it looked like a cute little spot to grab a bite for lunch. The service was nice and the food was solid as well. The windowed area was pleasant to sit and read after my meal.

Delicious walnut salad - avocado, walnuts, oranges, tomatoes and mixed greens!
Allison W.

My go to place! This restaurant has the best food. My children love it. Been coming with my son once a month for the past ten plus years and now my daughter wants breakfast as her reward for wherever! Their avocado, arugula, and tomato omelette is phenomenal. Even their coffee is good. Food is spectacular and service is exceptional. Highly recommend.

What are you gonna get? Or maybe I should say WHO?…read moreAre you gonna get the doughy guy at the door who takes 15 mins to amble over to the host stand who can't seem to figure out how to seat you (even with a reservation?) Or are you going to get the professorial woman who acts like she could rescue Apollo 13 while mixing a dry martini while reading Joan Didion? Are you gonna get an airy twink as a server who wants to go back to Bushwick and lets you know that at every second, or are you going to get a serious experience with a focused, professional server. Ya never know. This used to be part of the charm, but now it's a liability because friends (and other chefs in the neighborhood) never want to go to Diner because...ya never know what it'll be. Diner has never coasted on continuity. They change up the menu every day. They write it on the paper tablecloth, for Chrissakes. But I still love that! I still find most of the food to be delicious (if pricey), I still think their cocktails are well-made (even if their bar is weirdly slow) and I love their brunch and I love the vibe, and I'm glad it's still here. Their Caesar salad is overrated, as is the burger, but they're always mixing it up. You could get lucky. Ya never know...

Cozy interior, but the concept seemed like...trying too hard to be different and hip...? Why do you make your waiters write down the menu on the table for each group of guests? Doesnt even save paper since those menus are not reused. And honestly, our waiter's handwriting was sometimes hard to read. Also, quite pricey. The crab pasta was $35, the celery root was also $35 (like what?!), the squash was $23, and the Caesar salad (not pictured) was $22. Service was friendly and knowledgeable on the food but slow.

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.

This spot has a handful of tables and while we were there, quite a few to-go orders were picked up as well. Though we were the only diners, so I assume it's more of a breakfast/brunch spot. The menu is rather expansive with options from breakfast to lunch and dinner. After studying the menu, we opted for the Veggie Burger and the Meatball Parm Po'Boy. Our food was ready in about 20 minutes, which seemed a little long as we were the only diners, but we were not in a rush so it was fine. As the restaurant was unassuming, I honestly had pretty low expectations, but we both really enjoyed our meals. It was definitely large portions and really flavorful. My fiance said the Meatball Parm Po'Boy was delicious and I appreciated that the veggie burger seemed to be made in house as it was falling apart (in a good way) and you could distinguish some of the veggies. I ended up only eating about half of my burger and took the rest for lunch the next day and it held up well.

The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

While they have all the traditional breakfast fare, I was so happy to see it also had a Caribbean twist to it. I couldn't help myself--I had to order rice and beans with pernil (pork shoulder) and a side of sweet plantains. Of course, I wanted some actual breakfast items, so we got the French toast loaded with fruit. We also got both the tres and quatro golpes, which is a traditional Dominican breakfast. Lastly, we got a Caribbean omelet. My rice and pernil was solid. The rice could've used a tad bit more seasoning but when mixed with the side of beans and plantains plus a drizzle of hot sauce it was perfect. They had a variety of sauces--Tabasco (my fave), a Jamaican one that was super spicy, and a mild homemade one. The tres/quatro golpes was also a hearty choice with mangu (mashed plantain), sausage, fried cheese, and eggs. The pickled red onion balanced everything out. The fried cheese is similar to a halloumi but I think it's a bit more flavorful. All the flavors just melt together in your mouth perfectly. The French toast and omelet were good. I'd say the Caribbean items stole the show though. The place has a typical diner vibe and is on the small side. Food was served quickly and service was good. Discount if you pay in cash. I will be coming back to try their Cuban!!

Apparently there is more than one location in Manhattan. The inside reminded me of a classic diner. Comfy and with a pretty cool vibe. We all slid into a booth and looked over the seasonal offerings along with their standard menu. I was lured by the chicken Kyiv based on the picture of having two rolled up chicken cutlets stuffed with dill and other yumminess, but was a bit disappointment when it arrived with a single small cutlet on my plate with two heaping mounds of potatoes mash and broccoli. I instantly had regret when I should have gotten the borscht soup with pierogies, but wanted to try something I wouldn't usually. I should've stuck to what was safe. My work mom got the stuffed cabbage and that was a clear homerun- really loved the mushroom gravy that it came with. My other colleague got the potato pancake and wasn't too thrilled with it, while my boss got the two Swedish meatballs that he described to be Ikea worthy. Although this was my first time here, I can't say that anyone really loved the food nor would come out of their way to come back. I really was hoping this would have wow-ed me in some way, but I guess I'll stick to what's familiar.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 I have always been a fan of the original Veselka in Manhattan since my days in college, so finally visiting the new Williamsburg location is well overdue. A friend and I each got a soup to start our meal, along with sharing a Potato Pancake. The Matzoh Ball Soup and Potato Pancake were good, but not great. However, I enjoyed the Pork & Cabbage Soup enough to take home a quart. For entree, we shared a Deluxe Meat Plate that was quite delicious. All three pierogi flavors were great, but the short rib was my favorite, followed closely by the mushroom & sauerkraut. I also really enjoyed the grilled kielbasa, but sadly it was served at room temperature. Lastly, the stuffed cabbage is not usually my thing, yet I liked this version. Once again, it was served barely warm. Thankfully, we finished on a high note. My friend really wanted the Challah Bread Pudding, which was moist and tasty. However, the lovely waitress advised us strongly to try the Medovyk. This Ukrainian layered honey cake had a wonderful texture, not too creamy or sweet, with a great walnut flavor. We were extremely happy with her suggestion. We also really liked the diner vibes that felt warm and inviting. This was so close to a five star review. The main reason for the deduction was the temperature of our food being served. Hopefully that problem will be solved on my next visit.
