This was one of the worst and most humiliating experiences I've ever had at a business. I politely asked to use the restroom and clearly said I would purchase something. I really just needed to use the bathroom and couldn't hold it. Instead of responding respectfully, the employee physically pushed me. I told her not to touch me, but she pushed me again. Then the manager came over and started yelling at me as well, which made the situation even more upsetting. I was not being aggressive or disrespectful in any way I was simply asking to use the restroom and was ready to buy something. I have never felt so disrespected and uncomfortable in a place like this. No one should be treated this way. If the restroom is not available, that can be communicated politely. There is absolutely no excuse for physical contact and shouting at a customer. This was completely unacceptable behavior from both staff and management. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Spaghetti with meatball

Surf City is the best restaurant after a half marathon!! It has been my 3rd year eating here after Brooklyn Half and it does not disappoint! Location: It is located in Coney Island. Right in front of Cyclone. There a lot of seatings inside and outside! Service: the staff were nice, they are very attentive and give us recommendations. Food: The food is always good! 3 years I have been going here and everything was delicious. PENNE ALA VODKA with SHRIMP: it is probably my favorite! The pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce was just delicious! They topped it with grilled shrimp and it was the perfect addition to the sauce! MARGHERITA PIZZA: best type of pizza here for me! The crust is crispy and cooked properly. The sauce and mozzarella is delicious. 1 slice and I'm already full. SPAGHETTI with MEATBALLS: very authentic! The meatballs is juicy and flavorful inside. The sauce is af course tomato base and tangy. The pasta again is cooked al dente! Price rating: 6/10. To be honest the price is not bad for authentic Italian food. I will definitely come back here to try other food!

Super cute pizza place that matches the whole Coney Island vibe! Pizza was great! Service was friendly and helpful!

The table at the end is where I was sitting, no one is sitting there when I was walking out. Reserved?

Their food is ok I mean nothing special definitely can find better pizza in Brooklyn. Price wise 2 regular slice and a can coke $10. It's Coney Island whatever in the colder/ cooler months they are cheaper I think. I guess that's the only way they can survive in Coney Island price goes up in the warmer months and cheaper in the colder months. I am local in the neighborhood I get pizza here when I don't want to cook. Do I really sit and have pizza? No since my house is close by. However it will be LAST TIME EVER coming to this establishment. Today 5/17 Brooklyn half marathon since I have something to do on surf Ave. and I had some time to eat before I go run my errands. I decided to go get pizza and sit down since it was a warm day. No seats were available so there's a few bar tables no chairs tho. But whatever I stood there ate few bites I saw an empty table walked and sat down. I was just going to eat and get going. If I didn't have plantar fasciitis (permanent heel pain) I wouldn't mind standing and eat. The bus boy manager, I believe or whatever he is cause this is a self serve establishment, like fast food restaurant . Did a waiter served me ? "NO" did a hostess bring me to my table with a menu "NO" this SURF CITY employee came to me and said this table is reserved can you sit somewhere else? I am like where am I sitting ? He points at the bar. I got up and walked to the bar with my pizza and soda . I asked him since when pizzeria have reserved table ? He goes with his lecturing tone of voice this is a restaurant and u are one person that's a 10 people table am I going to lose 10 customers cause of one customer. I was literally in shock how he spoke to me. I am not at a fancy 5 star restaurant I don't expect no superior service. In other words I was kicked out of my seat cause I was by myself, a minority female or cause I am not the ideal privilege group in their case is their annual tourists or marathon runners, orrr this establishment need to train their worker. The next time I go to a pizzeria I will ask if the bigger tables are RESERVED for bigger groups only and there are no smaller tables available. There were no big party waiting for a big table, If party of 9 came to ask if any body was sitting on the table that I was I would have gladly let the other party sit there. Still in shock this establishment allows their employee speak to customer like this. Lost a customer I will make sure my friends and family know about this. Their food is ok there's plenty of better pizzerias in the area that have way better pizza, but for that treatment no thanx i can't even say customer service was bad cause wtf it's f*+*cking self service, a fast food joint. MANAGEMENT PLEASE don't leave a reply saying we are sorry it happened and I should give your pizzeria another try. Other customers saw what happened so did the manager/owner. One star for the manager/owner who tried to convince me not to be mad and gave me a beer I wasn't there for beer tho, I was there to eat my pizza drink my soda minding my own business and be out. Probably woulda took me 20 mins to eat the pizza drink my soda and be out. The picture of the table in the back I was sitting at, when I left still no one sitting there I guess their reserved party still didn't arrive yet

Ice cold beer
Brandon N.

They no longer have the ice cold beer. Came twice specifically for it, yesterday and about 6 months ago. Both times they indicated that they don't have it. The ice cold beer is definitely the draw, without it, it's just another NYC style pizza place.

Not a bad spot for pizza and Italian eats in Coney Island. Located on Surf Ave across the street from the boardwalk it's an alternative to grabbing a slice at one of the many small food joints here. A little pricey but it's a full restaurant experience with a nice setting as compared to walking around with a slice on a paper plate.

Food here is just okay. It is very easy to get to as it is just off the West 8th St/New York Aquarium station on the F/Q lines. You could also walk the extra 5 minutes from Coney Island/Stillwell Ave station on the above lines, as well as the D/N lines. They sell pizza here, and the pizza is solidly okay. The slice has a nice marriage of cheese and sauce, but it could use to be cooked a little longer. It is a floppy slice and the crust is a bit too chewy for my liking. I also got a potato and egg hero. This was pretty filling! They basically use eggs and French fries and combine the two of them to form a delicious sandwich. It is a big sandwich and contains a lot of both potatoes and eggs. I was surprised at how big it is. For that nice summer evening after a day at the beach, if you want a change from Nathan's, this will work nicely. Especially if you do not like hot dogs. Just keep it in perspective, and you will end up satisfied.

Fries and tenders
Donika J.

Food came out in no time, the issue for me was the delay in getting my check.. I had to ask for it several times and then when I finally got it, it was someone else's check and my ride was already waiting. This is a convenient location for a quick meal, I'd rate the food a 7, but it was perfect coming from the aquarium, less than 5 minute walk.

Great Pizzeria located in the picturesque Coney Island area right across the street from the infamous Cyclone. It offers a vast selection of all kinds of very appetizing looking pizzas, calzone, stromboli, rolls plus many of traditional Italian dishes. Interesting ambiance, very courteous and friendly staff, young bartender was kind enough to show me all sorts of exotic beers and spirits they have in stock and advised a great one-"Fat Tire" which I never had before but enjoyed tremendously and it was a perfect compliment to the slice of the magnificent Margherita pizza I picked also following an advice of a very pleasant pizza maker plus traditional Italian chicken & cheese roll which was huge and was served with a side dish of the delectable house made marinara sauce. Pizza was delicious-flavorful, scrumptious with an amazing crunchy but soft crust and lots of yummy cheese, so was the chicken roll which was so enormous, I wasn't able to eat it all and took the 2nd half home. All in all-great dining experience, definitely recommend to everyone visiting Luna Park and Coney Island beach to drop by for a refreshing drink and a hearty meal. P. S. They have this intriguingly looking machine with an ancient fortune teller-Zaltar that reminded me of an old movie with Tom Hanks "Big" where similar machine changed young boy's life forever so I couldn't resist and paid Zaltar for the reading, hoping it will change my life too. https://youtu.be/Q6RK4479XD8

Mushroom & Margherita
Fateha A.

I didn't like their pizza. The mushroom & Margherita both have basil, which I don't like. The pizza itself wasn't flavorful enough.

Love a good deli that has a food stand with a sandwich and fast eats menu. Very affordable and…read moreeverything was melty goodness fantasticness. The only tough things to consider while ordering from here was the staff had a hard time understanding orders between my friend and I. The sandwiches from here does take a while to come out as they're making it from scratch - so be prepared for a semi long wait. We both ordered different items - a Philly cheesesteak and a chicken cutlet sandwich with a side of fries. This place has a good assortment of deli items and snacks to sell with a narrow hall. The hardest part from our experience was both the chef and the cashier had a tough time getting our food orders correct. My friend got a Philly cheesesteak but both of them added an order of fries with her sandwich when she didn't get one. Mine was the chicken cutlet sandwich with the fries but the cashier was about to ring up my order and almost mistakenly stated it was the Philly Cheesesteak (almost got charged the extra price for the wrong sandwich). Luckily my friend and I were detail oriented and stopped them before anything was entered. Since the extra side of fries was made, they were nice enough to give my friend this no extra charge. But it was quite painful to correct and shocking on the customer side. Food is still good and didn't have a bad experience once we got to munch on dinner. But definitely check your items and the price charge when ordering from here.

Please count your change! I'm 99% sure that I was shortchanged $10 dollars today and I only found…read moreout after I got home. The item was $3, I handed over a $20 and it turns out I was only given $7 dollars in return. Now was it an accident or intentional? I don't know, but it's a lesson learned.

I discovered it a while…read moreago whilst working in the neighborhood, and have been a fan of this family owned business ever since. From healthy workout plates, to wraps, to protein shakes, to even protein brownies- this place offers it all. The staff is so exceptional and friendly and they really make you feel like a neighborhood friend, and I love ordering the chicken plate or sometimes mixing it up and getting the half and half steak and chicken. You can get potatoes or salad or rice as your sides, and it tastes like a home cooked meal. No preservatives, whole ingredients and food, clean eating, and not too heavy that you're full of grease and bogged down. The munchi sauce is also such an excellent topper, and a must! I always request for more. They do make amazing smoothies and can customize and make anything you want essentially. I highly recommend Munchinette, keep in mind they are closed on Sunday but if you're ever in the area looking for a good, clean meal- this is a must!
