"LIVES UP TO THE HYPE"…read more For the last few years I've been seeing videos on Tik-Tok and Facebook's "Reels" about Brennan & Carr, a Brooklyn institution that serves a famous roast beef sandwich. Video after video of the sandwich being dunked in the equally-famous "au jus" gravy that had my mouth watering. But I live in Westport, Connecticut, and though I go into Manhattan a lot (I used to live in the East Village), a rarely have a reason or need to go to Brooklyn, and I know few people there, so my wish to sample a Brennan & Carr roast beef has gone unrealized. Until this past Sunday. I recently befriended a fellow pop culture enthusiast and author who lives in Brooklyn, and he invited me to his book release party for his family and friends at his home on Sunday afternoon. When I Google-mapped my driving route, I wondered if Brennan & Carr might be close enough that I could go there after the afternoon party. To my surprise and joy, they were 5 minutes away! So I finally got to try a B&C RB sammie. Of course, I asked for it "all the way," with cheese, onions, and fully dipped in the au jus. That first bite was like a little taste of (roast beef) heaven!!! That first surge of "hot beef" flavor is unforgettable! I was amazed that the hefty bun it came on was able to simultaneously soak up all that au jus without falling apart at all! It maintained its integrity all the way to the final bite. Which, by the way, I could BARELY finish, it was so filling! I came practically starving, and that roast beef sandwich so filled me up that I barely touched the (excellent) onion rings that I had also ordered! Upon leaving (with a "dry" sandwich to go, with the au jus in a cup!), I had a great chat with the man at the cash register (whom I think was also the manager), Patrick Stackpole, about our shared love for Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone (that's a whole other story!). Suffice it to say, Brennan & Carr's roast beef sandwich more than lives up to the hype!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna have my to-go roast beef for dinner!

Drove past this place for years and never went in, no idea why. Finally stopped in last week with…read moremy wife and honestly, should've done it sooner. The roast beef sandwich is the star here and for good reason. They slice it thin, pile a ton on, and the bread's already soaked in the jus by the time it gets to you, which sounds weird if you've never had it but trust me it's the move. Get it dipped again when they ask too, yes it's messy, just deal with it. Fries were fine, nothing crazy but good for dunking in the extra jus pooling on your plate. Had a beer too, don't remember what kind, just whatever was on tap. The inside is kind of a time capsule, feels like it hasn't changed in decades, in a good way. Staff just get you in and out, no small talk, which honestly I didn't mind. Only reason it's 4 and not 5 for me is this whole place is built around one thing, so you really gotta be into roast beef going in. But if that's your thing, this is about as good as it gets. Going back next time we're over that way.

They have the board game, Trouble, at their tables, if you wanted to play something while you waited for your grub. The menu has lots to offer- coffees, teas, sweets, and savories.

I have tried their crepes, the pistachio latte, pani puri, and some juices- consistently yummy stuff. The chicken wraps are good too- but be warned, they tend to season things on the spicier side. Give Kitchen Cuisine a try.

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!

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?

The coffee situation was strange, a small cup comes with only two refills, something I've never seen in a diner before. On top of that, it was hard to even get the attention of the curt waitress. The add-ons were the real insult. A $2 upcharge for cream cheese on a bagel felt excessive, and the sausage was an even bigger letdown. For an extra $9, I was given four very thin links that had been cut in half to make them look like more. The portion was worth maybe a dollar at best, and to make it worse, they tasted like bacon because they were cooked on the same surface.
