This was our Second time at Skinflints. Our good friends live close by and eat there frequently. The servers were really nice and very friendly. We had a big breakfast and I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the chili. Just perfect on a cool afternoon. The others had burgers. The burger has tremendous flavor and is grilled to perfection!! The burgers are served on toasted English muffins.... out of the ordinary but totally works!! The fries are crisp and addictive!! If you're looking for a simply delicious burger... Skinflints fits the bill!! Support your local businesses!! Go get a burger!!! read more

I was in the area and was in need of a bite to eat. Upon a recommendation from a friend I decided to try skinflints. I was greeted promptly and seated right away the server friendly. I ordered a hamburger with cheddar. The burger was very good and I didn't realize it came on a English muffin which was different but it was good. I enjoyed the ambiance of the place I would def come back here if I wanted some good bar food. The only thing which was a pain was looking for parking which took a bit to get a metered spot on the avenue other than that no gripes at all. read more

I was a little put off by my experience here because I've heard this place is a neighborhood favorite. But we were seated and our table didn't even have napkins or anything. The staff was kind and brought them to us after we asked but it took a while. I don't know if they were short staffed or something but service was kind of slow. All of that was forgiveable but the food was not. I ordered a burger and it literally had what looked like spray cheese on it. I didn't even finish it because it wasn't good at all. We also got hot wings and the wings themselves were good but the sauce wasn't spicy at all. The fries were also ehhh and my boyfriend got a chicken sandwich that was also mediocre. Probably won't return here. read more

Took our first trip to Skinflints the other night. We had delicious crispy cheese sticks, and the burgers we had were cooked perfectly, nice and juicy on the inside. They serve the burgers on English muffins, which is a little different, but I dug it; I've been to restaurants before where the burgers were served in such big buns that you feel like you're filling up on bread instead of meat. (Also, just FYI, when you order pickles with your burger, they don't mean little slices you can put on your burger but a pickle spear on the side.) We then split an order of chocolate mousse pie that we could've bathed in, it was so good. It did take a while to get our food--the place was PACKED--but they gave us the pie on the house because of the wait. A great neighborhood spot--we will be back! read more

Everyone raves about Skinflints and their burgers so I had to give them a try. After not coming here for about 10+ years, I decided to stop it and it was pretty disappointing. Unpopular opinion here, but I had to speak my truth lol On a Saturday night, the front bar was jam packed with locals who were a little too rowdy for 8:30pm, falling over their stools basically. We waited at the front bar for about 30 min for a table, so I was prepared to be WOWED by the food here, and sadly, I was not. Our waiter was super friendly so I definitely can not complain about that. He was knowledgeable on the menu and brought everything out pretty quickly. My burger was just ok. Diner quality, I'd say. People flip out over the fact that this burger is on an English muffin but there are plenty of other places that can and do the same. What is the deal with everyone? The burger came with lettuce and a pretty sad, yellow looking tomato. The fries were good but this burger was seriously just ok. I wish I was wowed like so many others have been. After eating, I stopped by the restroom quick which was in the back by the kitchen. No one is cleaning this co-Ed bathroom at all. It looked like a crime scene. There was paper all over the place in addition to some other things which I will not mention. I couldn't run out of there any faster. Overall lackluster experience. I don't understand the hype. 5 stars for the friendly waiter, but 1-2 stars for everything else :/ read more

We stopped at Skinflints for dinner the other night and it was a nice experience. It's an old looking establishment that is pretty dark inside. The front end is a bar and in the back are tables. Overall the food was pretty good not the memorable but good. The wait staff was also pretty good. But I was expecting a little more given how long they have been around. More than likely it's a neighborhood spot with a lot of regulars. read more

Skinflints is a neighborhood favorite. Their English muffin burgers are kind of famous in the area. I came in on a Saturday around 12pm with a friend for brunch. We were seated right away in a nice table in the back. Our waiter came over to offer us water and take our drink orders. Both of us had a Stella. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? We split an order of calamari and both ordered the mushroom burger. I love, love, love the use of English muffin as burger buns. It soaks up all the burger grease so much better than any plain ole burger bun. Service was attentive and our waiter didn't push us to leave - even after we finished our beers and coffees. If you're in the neighborhood and just need someone where a solid meal, give Skinflints a try! read more

We were in town visiting for a wedding and were looking for a spot to grab a late dinner after our flight. Found this on Yelp and gave it a try. Took a while for a server to actually come over, but once they did service was good. Started with a fried shrimp basket which was tasty. For dinner we had a chicken pot pie that needed for flavor. After seasoning with table salt and pepper it was better, but it just wasn't the best I've had at all. The burgers come in an English muffin which I actually love. The burger was over cooked though and the cheese wasn't a slice. More like a liquid cheese that goes on nachos which we weren't expecting at all. Fries were fine, hot and crispy. A decent meal in the area. read more

However the bugs and ants weren't conducive to outdoor dining comfort, so we asked to move inside, which they promptly accommodated. On our second visit, we sat in their corner outdoor area, which was much better. It does get busy here, especially on Friday night.

Hey Yelpers: I just received a very unpleasant and combative call from a phone order clerk' @ the above mentioned restaurant! Earlier I ordered a Roast Beef on Garlic Bread' and it came with seriously burnt fries! When I opened up the container It was gross to say the least. I also.. purchased carrot cake..which was a favorite of mine! However.. I was truly so very disappointed especially the French fries.. that were burnt black and full of oil. Utterly horrible to eat or look at. Real turn off." Nonetheless.. the sandwich was ok. Afterwards.. I contacted the merchant.. and explained the problem to no avail.. They never offered any adjustment whatsoever. As a matter of fact.. I was lied too. The Order Clerk' was going to send the delivery person to pick up the burnt, oily fries.. but they never returned as promised! Later I reached the manager/owner, Jerold' he offered to adjust my bill which is professionalism! So therefore, the order clerk, contacted once again, and requested my credit card number. I refused to give to her, based on they had it. Mind you, I never even received a receipt for this transaction either! I've read some of their reviews, and they been doing this with burnt fries for quite a while! I guess they don't care what is sent out of this place! I'll never order from them again. Too many good restaurants, where they value your patronage." Thanks for reading my blog! read more

If you're vegan or vegetarian stay away from this place. The cook obviously has no respect for your dietary restrictions or habits. They served a chicken wing in my fries and cooked the veggie burger with the meat oil. We also asked for a side of lettuce and it came with a little surprise... PLASTIC!!! (The chicken wing was eaten by my boyfriend lol) The manager took the two meals off the bill which was nice.

Skinflints I really wanted to love you since your in my neighborhood and being a chicken pot pie fanatic I was hoping my experience would be great foodwise. However, it did not exceed my expectation to be honest it was disappointing. The chicken pot pie was bland and so was the calamari. I had the shrimp cocktail once and I came home straight to the bathroom afterwards. I just never had much luck with their food. Not sure if I'm not ordering the right thing that makes Skinflints so great. On the other hand, I do enjoy the bar area. The bartender is friendly and the drinks are strong. Just wish the food would taste better. read more

As a Bay Ridge resident I can cite this as being one of the true gems of an establishment in our neighborhood based on the comfortable setting, friendly staff and very tasty dishes. It is high time I got a Yelp for this place after having been here dozens of times over the past couple of decades. The other day I popped in with a buddy as a last minute but wise decision and were seated in a nice table right near the heat. The night was not too cold but it was still good to keep warm in my humble opinion. For those who have never been to Skinflints before, I guess the best way to describe the dining area is as "cozy". You are not cramped in on top of one another in most of the sections. Drink wise it would be a round of Stella Artois beer for us both and our server was kind and very friendly but I blanked on her name at the time of this Yelp so I must apologize. Since this was to be a quick visit, I went with their cheeseburger with bacon. They serve this with fries and on an English muffin. Mind you this is a sizable burger and super tasty. Silly me loaded up on the free bread though so I needed to halve my burger to bring home for the next day's lunch. I believe my buddy had a turkey burger and perhaps I will try that next time. They sure do their burgers right here if you are a fan. We had no desserts but a second beverage and then it was back home for the both of us. A really positive experience and one that shall be repeated again. For those using Foodspotting.com to share their food, I did post my photos and thoughts about said food items. This is a high recommendation for sure. read more

I have been coming here for decades and it was always a great spot! Unfortunately tonight's dinner was atrocious ! The blacken steak was not blackened at all it was the color gray - no flavor , no grill Marks and it was over cooked . I asked for medium rare and it was medium well! The amount of fat on the steak was half of the steak it self . The sweet potato had no crispness - and it tasted as though they had put maple syrup on it to sweeten the flavor. The sautéed spinach was about the best part of the meal! I have to say that the shrimp florentine my boyfriends favorite was the same as always! How sad that Skinflints can't make a decent steak!! No wonder no one was in the place! I am disappointed that this classic restaurant has lost it edge- next time I'm in bay ridge I will not be coming here! read more

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info.

My friend and I went to Polonica around 2pm on a Saturday. I was getting my nails done across the…read morestreet, and the restaurant had decent reviews, so we decided to check it out. We were the only people in the restaurant the entire time, though there were a few delivery orders. The restaurant has a homey interior, with callouts to their historic presence in Bay Ridge. We ordered the chicken klopsiki ($15.65) and the Hungarian pancakes ($20). Each dish comes with a house salad, which consists of red cabbage, sauerkraut, cole slaw, beets, shredded carrots, and lettuce. The salad had nice flavors and tasted fresh! I really enjoyed the chicken klopsiki, which is a chicken meatball. The meatball was moist, and the sauce had a nice flavor, like chicken soup. The only downside was that the mashed potatoes had no flavor and tasted like powdered mashed potatoes. I liked the flavor of the Hungarian pancakes, but the ratio of pancake to filling was heavily skewed toward the pancake, which was just fried potato with minimal flavor. Therefore, I would pass on the pancakes and just get the goulash if I decided to return. Service was okay. When I asked the server for recommendations, she wasn't enthusiastic, but I was asking generally, and I could have been more specific. She left during our meal, and we had to call someone to give us the check. So after giving us the food, service was nonexistent. Overall, I liked some parts of the dishes, but nothing was so amazing that I would be itching to return again!

I have to say at first I wasn't too fond on getting something but I'm glad I did. The food was very tasty and delicious. I had the Stuffed Chicken Breast (Nadziewane Piersi Z Kurczaka) I would definitely try it again. I love the different options of vegetables that come with the dish and that's coming from someone who isn't the biggest fan of certain vegetables.

Even though I was there a few months back and I said I would never come back because of a rude waiter But Our Waiter John needs a raise!!! He was wonderful, from the moment he came to the table, he has such a great positive attitude. He should be the example for your place.. On top of Fabulous John, my Shepard pie n my sister's salmon was delicious. Our drinks were yummy. And John was so attentive, he made sure we were happy n enjoying our food. Thanks John you redeemed The Salty Dog for me I can say now I still Love The Salty Dog

Hubby has frequented Salty Dog mostly with his colleagues, so I was glad to revisit here again after so long. He was bragging as to how good everything is, and was dying to try their pretzel of all things, so we walked right in at around 5PM. We were seated at a high top table over by the bathrooms, but that didn't bother us. Our waiter was super attentive and really chill. He gave us plenty of time to decide and explained how big some portions were for sharing. We finally decided on our beverages on choice first - a blueberry crumble beer for me and an angry orchard for him. Mine was very fresh and surprising; a great compliment with the pretzel that was HUGE! The cheese may or may not have been beer cheese, but it was addicting! A hidden gem right there under your nose on the menu - get it! The boneless chicken wings with their Kentucky whisky BBQ sauce was absolutely AWESOME - we got the small and it was plenty for us as we also got the hamburger sliders with cheese. They needed a bit of ketchup, but solid pub food. Looking forward to more surprise dates here!

It went wonderfully well my order of eggs with kale. I have to say that the best dish that I absolutely there was the Greek Beeny which was Benedict eggs on muffins and a homemade hash brown. I loved the fresh ingredients and that it came out steamy. I no longer go all the way out there on Sundays but would like to go back at be day for brunch with my family.

Another bonus is the eclecticism of the patrons. I've only eaten there twice snd both times it was excellent. Looking around at what's on other people's plates, food looked really yummy. The last time I was there a girl sitting at the bar next to me was eating the ribs. They looked so delicious. A great pig out meal if you don't mind the calories in the fat. But boohoo, I couldn't order the dish because she was eating the serving of ribs .booHoo, I missed put this time, but am determined to have those delicious ribs soon! Another thing that impressed me... They have regular hamburgers, and smaller hamburgers for when you're not that hungry or watching your calories or watching you're spending . Which ever you order they are both delicious accompanied by wonderful french fries and a yummy creamy mystery dip served on the side.

Very cozy and had some eclectic decor. Service was quick and friendly too. Would stop by again!
