The burgers here are by far the best I've ever had. It's on my number one list besides Hunters Steak House. I love everything about The Kettle Black, the food, the decor and chill environment is one of my favorite experiences here. Also they have a huge beer menu! Hell yeah! If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Bay Ridge you need to make your way over here and grab one! read more

Good spot to meet up with friends or family. Also nice for a casual date. Very laid back atmosphere and the service is fine. My 10 year HS reunion was held here. Fun times! read more

I went here with my friend for appetizers & beers one weekend and it was great! We got wings, mozzarella sticks, stuffed potato wedges, and beer. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance had a lot of weekend energy vibes! read more

Local bar with some great bar food options. We shared some wings (6) with Jack d sauce ( not really sure what it was ) but it was ok. My friend had a Turkey burger that was ok and I had sliders that I thought were a bit small and should have been listed as an app and not in the burger section. Drinks obviously were great and there were many Tv's around with games to satisfy your sport and betting needs. Our server was very professional and great. He knew the menu very well. It's a great spot for some great fun any time or day read more

As usual, Kettle Black was a home run. The burgers are outstanding, the boneless wings never disappoint. Slightly dirty martini was on point and the service as usual, was great. It was my husbands' choice to have Fathers Day lunch there and his three kids were super happy about that! read more

Lobster roll was ok. Asked for spicy but still got non spicy. Prolly a simple mistake didn't complain. The bake potato at other places usually larger and salt the skin like red lobster but I opted to pay $4 for the baked potato. Service was ok but took a little bit of time to get h2o refill.. read more

Word on the street was that The Kettle Black's got 69¢ wings on Wednesday nights. Well, shoot; I love wings. Even if the wings are "regular price", far be it from me to exclude this fine establishment from my artistically perfectionistic palate (*pinkies flailing*). We showed up to a full house; Every table in the front and the back was full of people, and all the seats at the bar were taken and crowded with 'standers'. Oh boy... This is going to be rough. After about fifteen seconds of putting on my "Deer in Headlights"-face, a sweet man approached us and asked "How many?" and took down our name. He let us know there would be a bit of a wait but we were next in line. Greatly appreciated the service from him. Great guy. About 15 minutes later, a table in the back opened up for us, so we got called over and seated. I'll be honest; My 'seat' was the end section of a booth. It felt like I was sitting in a hole. Definitely needs an update, with the ambiance. The man and I came in for one thing and one thing only; Wings. I ordered a dozen Fitzpatrick's, he ordered a dozen Buffalo City, and we ordered mozzarella sticks to share. Five minutes later, (I kid you not... FIVE MINUTES LATER...) We get two plates of chicken wings set on our table. How they managed that one is beyond me, but it was record-breaking time. The wings were phenomenal. Crispy, but not dried out inside. The flavoring was spicy enough but not too spicy. The Blue cheese dressing was a little mezza mezza but that's not what we came in for. I was too busy being blown away by the wings. Half-way through our carnivorous consumption, I had a thought: The Mozzarella sticks - We never got them. But we were getting so full from the wings, we didn't need them. So, the next time our waiter flew by, we reminded him of the 'missing mozzi-sticks' and told him to scratch that order from our check. When we left, our tummies were content and we were already planning on showing up next week. Overall, the restaurant was loaded with people, so forgetting our order wasn't that big of a deal, especially since we ended up not wanting it. The food we did receive was incredibly fast, fresh, delicious and cheap. The ambiance was that of a general bar; Could have used some improvements but the wings blew me away so much, that I'm willing to sit in a hole to get more wings. Absolutely going back next week. You need to give them a try. read more

The Kettle Black - Full House on Wing Night! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's Wing Wednesday at Kettle Black, which means 69cents wings! Of course it gets crowded as this is such a great deal. We waited for about 20 minutes at the bar before getting seated. I liked that you can get 6 wings of a different flavor, so we ended up with 24 wings in Jamo, Jack D, Grandpa Nunzio, and Ragin' Cajun. Once we put our order it, it didn't take too long for our wings to arrive on two platters. The wings are a good size with meat and sauce slathered all over. To be honest, I was never able to even figure out which flavor was the Jamo and Jack D because they're so similar, so just pick one of these next time for a whiskey-infused BBQ flavor. The concept is neat since my favorite is Jameson and my boyfriend's favorite is Jack Daniel's, but difficult to tell the difference. In terms of flavor, all the wings kind of infused and tasted quite similar. Overall, tasty wings and while the flavor itself is good, the variety of flavors blended together with similar notes. Nonetheless, still an amazing deal for their wing specials. read more

Kettle Black is a fun place for gatherings and a nice selection of pub food. It has an excellent selection of burgers and other sandwiches plus bar staples like Shepherd's (actually Cottage) pie and fish and chips. It is a great place for informal dining. read more

Came for a quick bite and drink. Lots of games were played, the place was decently quiet until certain games were on and the crowd grew louder and larger. Service was great! Waitress was friendly and informative on alcoholic beverages and food choices. Definitely returning again! read more

Really awesome wings and lively atmosphere. Our family of 6 came in on a weeknight for dinner for the first time. It was not too crowded but definitely was a little busy. We were seated right away, ordered a kids' Mac and cheese and chicken fingers + fries to start off our 3 kids' meals (our youngest two shared). My oldest got the sliders off the regular menu and Hubby and I decided on the 24 wings 2 flavor combo in Buffalo City and Grandpa Nunzio's. The fries were a hit, as always for my kids but the breading on the chicken fingers weren't a favorite with my little two. The kids' mac and cheese came in a huge portion so it worked out for us, as I was able to split that between the kids and added a wing from our order to their meals. My oldest enjoyed his sliders and for someone who isn't a big sauce fan, really liked it. My 6 year old is picky with his mac and cheese but was impressed with the gooey cheesiness so that's definitely a win. Hubby and I thought the wings were pretty good, and cooked to perfection. Would come here for wings over Buffalo Wild Wings, for sure. The size of the chicken wings are decent and I was thoroughly satisfied. read more

The Kettle Black has an okay selection of wings, bar food and drinks. On my last visit there I had the mac and cheese and my partner had the pizza. The mac and cheese was a bit bland and watery. Drinks were good with a menu of specials. Our server was on time and attentive. Its not a great date location. Their double tables are nestled in the back with a great view of the bathrooms and the kitchen. The bar is certainly the best feature of the place. There's usually a decent crowd of people and a game on. Music was great. read more

Decent burgers, though mine was a bit undercooked. Service was good. Ambiance was what it was: a somewhat biker bar vibe. Fine for what it is - wouldn't go out of the way to come here, but I live close enough that if I was craving a burger I could possibly come here again. read more

Met up with some friends an our two daughters. Ages 12&7. They sat us in the back gave us iPad to order from but the waiter came to take orders so that was a bit confusing lol they did have a kids meal which is a plus for us. It is some type of sports bar there was a game playing but it was early .we were there from 6:30-8:30. It still was family friendly. The guys ordered beers my friend got a cosmo and I got patron margaritas. I had 3 but the last one did not taste like it had patron and I asked the guy to make sure he said yes. Whatever! You know the difference but you can't argue because how can you prove it. Anyway we ordered some appetizers mozzarella sticks and wings. We got habanero and Thai and lemon pepper they were okay. I got the kettle black burger. My bacon wasn't cooked all the way so I took it out. It was good. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. The waiter was okay. Not as attentive as I would've liked but nonetheless it started to get busy so I understood. The bathroom is tiny and it was extremely cold in there. One of the faucets weren't working. Cool bar , liked the ambiance. If in that area maybe go again. They say bar food has the best food lol read more

Finally got to see what the hype is about for being consistently mentioned as one of the top wings spots in south Brooklyn. Lived up to the hype for sure. Came in for Sunday afternoon NFL football. The place was busy but not impossibly crowded. Was able to get a table for 2 with a decent view of a few TVs. They play all the games throughout the bar. Wings were nice and meaty, not over dressed with sauce, and buffalo sauce had a tolerable balance between tang and spice level. Figured to try something else while we were here and got the potato skins. Nothing to write home about but scratched that specific itch. Good draft beer selection and canned non beer options. Servers were very friendly and accommodating, when possible read more

I'm sorry to say the food was very disappointing. I've had their wings before unfortunately today it was very disappointing. I also had the french dip sandwich, also disappointing. The waiter was nice the decor is nice. But unfortunately the food wasn't what I've had before today.I will try it again one day. read more

Shocking! Never in my experience have I been charged for a condiment at a restaurant. I like to dip my fries in mayo and asked for some when I placed my order. A small cup of mayo was brought with the fries. Surprised to see $1.00 charge for "a side" of mayo on the bill. When the questioned, the server said, "yeah we charge, it's not my fault"., It's not the dollar, it's the nerve to nickel & dime your customers. If things are so tight, perhaps consider raising your prices a bit. This petty charge for nonsense is not a good look. read more

The kettle black is one of my favorite bars for the food and drinks. The service is good when dining in as well. It's a good time, anytime, especially on sporting events. It's a casual environment and very dim lighted. I love the wings and the French onion soup. The burgers are great, too. I recommend stopping by. read more

Very friendly service, and attentive. Burger was well flavored and perfectly cooked at medium rare.

Labor Day weekend @ MMC , TKD to door dash for fast delivery, my peeps and I had craving for wings so we ordered for. KB, yum yum in our tummy. We ordered the 36 bundle wings, salt, pepper, bbq, and buffalo. All made well , cooked to the crisp, tender and juicy, with a side of Mac and cheese. Had a lobsters , bread toasty well, nice garnish, the portion of meat was so so, expected much more meat for the price I paid. But it I was not disappointed by the flavor , taste and texture. KB is the place to order for weekend gathering. read more

Great local sports bar! They had a large selection of craft beer as well as the typical beers you'd expect from a dive bar. The food here was actually phenomenal. Kettle black burger: super well balanced. Caramel ones onions, cheddar cheese that's perfectly melted, crispy bacon, and a great burger. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah.. Truffle fries! Yes, this burger comes with truffle fries. What a great combination! The blood orange ipa was great and the service was awesome. The servers came to check in on us pretty frequently despite the place being packed with rangers fans for the playoffs. I loved the food, the vibe, and the service at black kettle. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is the best wing spot in Bay Ridge by a substantial margin, especially considering that they offer .87 cent boneless wings on Monday and .87 regular wings on Wednesday. The servers here are always friendly, competent, and attentive, and it's a great place to catch a game though it can get packed quickly. I would highly recommend stopping in. read more

Came here to catch the Knicks playoff game with a friend. When we arrived, the game had already started and the house was packed. We were greeted by someone and he told us it was by reservation, but if we wanted to wait 15 minutes or so, he could seat us. I was a little surprised because it's a bar, but we waited less than five minutes and he came outside and we were given a seat. The place is the typical bar... nothing fancy. The service wasn't the best. The server wasn't very personable and never really checked on us at all. A few times we wanted something but had to wait till he finally came around to help other tables. I had the Margarita pizza, which was just okay. I also had Mac n Cheese, which was horrible. It was very soupy and total waste of $12. I would possibly return here for another sporting event, but probably wouldn't eat anything but a burger. read more

Came here with a group of friends for dinner and it wasn't super busy, so we were seated right away. The service overall was just mediocre. A server came to check on us right when we sat down; we needed more time because we didn't even look at the menu. When we were ready to order, not a server in sight. Probably had to wait at least 10 minutes to see someone walk by. The food took a while to arrive too, but that was fine. What we ordered: - 36 wings with 3 different flavors (Thai Chili, Maryland Bay, and Grandpa Nunzio's) There was so much sauce on the Thai Chili and Maryland Bay wings that it made them kind of soggy and too salty. The Grandpa Nunzio's didn't have enough flavor in my opinion. - Mac & Cheese with Thick Cut Jalapeno Bacon was just not good. The mac & cheese was watery and the bacon wasn't crispy. - My friend ordered The Gringo burger and he enjoyed it. Not much more to say on that. - We also got the lobster roll. It came with a side of fries. The bread was burnt on the outside, but the contents in the roll was alright. Note that they don't honor the Yelp check-in deal. Not sure why they still have that up if they don't do it. They don't have crafted cocktails, but they do have a full bar with a variety of liquor and beer, so you can make your own. read more

Some outdoor seating and good service. Friendly staff. Not a large beer selection , I was kind of surprised. Subpar bar food.

The bartender Chris is an asshole! Not sure if he was having a bad night or what it was. I simply asked for diet coke with house whiskey (the cheapest whiskey) and I watch him pick up a bottle of Jack Daniel's and pour it into my cup. When he hands me my bill I ask him, "did you charge me for the Jack Daniel's?". He snapped at me and yelled "it's all the fucking same! I don't want to talk to you" , I know this to not be true as I'm a bartender myself. There was a bald bartender that kindly handed me two dollars from the tip jar to make up for this but I want to warn anyone coming to Kettle Black about Chris! Complete jerk off. read more

I love this place for game nights. Wings are great and very nice staff! One of the better places to enjoy a good game out

PROS: This place was a good place to eat. The wings tasted fresh, the sauce seemed to be homemade, and the prices were reasonable. The menu had a good variety to it and the wait staff was friendly. The food also came out in a timely matter CONS: Almost no street parking near the area and it took a long time to be seated because the host was nowhere to be found. Also took a long time for the waiter to take our orders as well. OVERALL: I highly recommend coming here since the quality of the food is great, but only if you're patient with these people read more

Always super packed and pretty good, standard food. The service is just ok and takeout isn't really the best. I would definitely recommend eating in, which is probably why so many people do it. The servers are always a bit annoyed with any question asked, kind of understandable because they're so swamped. Food is given in pretty great portions and drinks are always good. Takeout is just ok. We were put on hold a couple times in the middle of our order which wasn't too bad but they made a mistake that we were only able to catch after asking him to repeat the order back to us. They told us it would be a 45 minute wait so we walked around a bit and came back 30 minutes later to check on it. It was all packed and ready to go so we brought it home and enjoyed. It was honestly a bit cold and the fries weren't the best quality. I tossed the fries completely and enjoyed my sandwich, which was still delicious even though it wasn't very hot. Still good food and I'm probably still going to come back, but I much prefer dining in than taking out. read more

I was hungry after a long day of work and my friend suggested we go here. Good choice on her part. We each ordered a burger and were pleasantly surprised that they were buy one get one half off which was amazing! Food was delicious. No complaints there. The main reason I wanted to leave this review was because of our server. The name on the check said Roland so I'm hoping that's his name. One thing I love was how nicely sarcastic he was and he was joking with us and he was just what I needed after a long day. Because of this, I decided to tip him 50%. He gave the service I expect when I go out to eat and I'll definitely be going back. read more
