Menu
Nella B.

Very cute little place with a very nice menu with many options to choose from. Service was very good. Also, breakfast was delicious slightly on the pricier side, but it was worth it. I would like to go back and try some other choices.

Split pea soup
Brooke K.

If you're looking for an old school brooklyn neighborhood place this is it. Service is friendly, people that eat here are regulars and the feel of the restaurant is what I miss about the old NYC. I came in and ate at the bar, didn't know what to order and I was told by a nice man sitting at another table that the split pea soup is really good so o ordered that with a side of bread. The soup bowl is huge and the split pea soup was really good! It had slices of ham in it and the bread tasted like it had garlic powder on it so I dipped the bread in the soup and it was really tasty. Perfect lunch for winter and the prices here are good. I'll be back soon :)

California Burger with Hand Cut French Fries
Kate N.

The food here is so good, it's an absolute shame that is hardly ever open! So far what I have tried has been surprisingly great quality and flavorful. Even the plain drip coffee is fantastic, which I was absolutely not expecting to be that good since diner coffee isn't usually something to write home about. I really loved the burger I had my first time there because it's cooked how you want it, and the fries are amazing. Service is friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that the seating isn't super comfortable, its actually fairly uncomfortable. However, it's not enough to to knock off a star.

Mexicano burger and Diablo Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
Aleena G.

Good spot for a cheap price and great food. Definitely if I want a burger in a classic diner this would be my spot to go with Brooklyn locals. Ambiance can get lively on the weekends and service was sweet to my bf and I. Go to this spot to for the simple yet yummy diner experience. :)

OMG don't miss out on this hidden family friendly gem. Everything everyone had was amazing, super large portions and amazing hospitality. The sangria's were fresh made. Chips of fruit to enjoy at the end. But the sweet potato fries were on point, crispy, hot, and .... You fill in the blank when you give them a try. Come out and give this 5 star family friendly restaurant a holla

an omelet and a croissant
Rachel S.

Visited the area and came across this place. Nice small family owned restaurant. Service was great, got my food fairly quickly which was good because I was starving. I had a veggie omelet with homefries and a croissant. Everything was delicious and hit the spot.

Absolutely cooked to perfection! And soooo delicious
Jason R.

Places like this rarely exist anymore. Truly a throwback to old school Brooklyn food spots. The staff is always warm and friendly. The ambiance is inviting and perfect. But the food! Next level delicious!! I had the hungry man meal. Requested for my potatoes and sausage to be well done, beyond delicious they way they make the potatoes here. Truly a hidden gem in Brooklyn. Highly highly recommend it.

Western omelette
Charlie D.

Great little breakfast place I found while visiting Brooklyn. Not very big inside but food was good and service was great. Plenty of food for a reasonable price.

Texas Burger Sweet Potato Fries
Peter C.

I'm surprised that I don't come to this place more often. It's conveniently located on Ave U and the food is delicious! Came here with a group of friends and everyone was happy with what they got. The service was excellent as well I got the Texas burger which came with bacon, sautéed onion, chipotle sauce, and the greens. Everything complimented each other very well and this burger was full of flavor. I was so full after and the presentation was excellent as well. In no way was this burger dry The sweet potato fries is an excellent option to get. They are crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. Paired with ketchup or honey mustard, it is perfection. I would opt for this over the regular fries because those weren't as crunchy. Will definitely be coming back here again

The paper straw they use to serve with hot chocolate float
Rosalia X.

This place is ehh, I do love the amount of cheese they put in the omelette. I wish they spread the chocolate chips around more in the pancakes. The chocolate chips were all in the middle. I don't recommend the milkshake or the hot chocolate float. You couldn't even taste the chocolate in the milkshake and I'm pretty sure for the hot chocolate float its powered. I'm not sure why they serve hot chocolate float with a paper straw because my straw broke. They forgot about the drinks then they forgot about the cold slaw my boyfriend ordered.

Since my neighborhood doesn't have a diner I'm using Vinny's as my local eatery. Great breakfasts and lunch. Fast service, fresh food only.

Do the cheese fries use like real cheese melted on top or a cheese sauce like Nathan's because a cheese sauce is what I prefer?

We use real cheese melted

I found family and culinary excellence on one block. I walk…read morein and I am greeted by name.. The owners also run "The Kettle Black" and "Old School Italian Restaurant". I feel like I am with my Italian friends and family in Corona,NY. There is nothing but love in all three restaurants. They have everything covered. The staff are a beautiful group of "International", young people. The tastes of the food and the creativity, blew my mind. The Crab Cakes are the best I have ever had! Food wise, Bayridge rivals Manhattan. The female staff made me fall in love! They make this old man feel special. Drinks are awesome and inventive.

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! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. 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? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear

Putting their hands-on my food. I will never ever go there. Eat again I don't think anybody should go there. They were very rude acting like there are 10 star rating place this place. Rates to me a 0 you go there. You taking your chances of being aggravated and going home starving. Every year I go there and eat on my birthday wide's birthday. Anniversaries, this is the worst anniversary ever. No one should ever go to this place. It's horrible. I never had a problem until today. And they ruined my day. I rate this place a 0. He actually put the hens on my food and told me it was good. So I told him, you eat it. The asparagus tastes like charcoal. The baked potato was burnt beyond burnt. Steak was horrible. Burnt Chalco tasting, never in my life. Did I ever go anywhere and have someone serve me like this? They should be closed down and I'll do whatever it takes to see that they lose this place. Thank you for bruin.In my forty fourth anniversary o sick with cancer for 2 years.Finally went out.And this is what I deserve.No, don't feel it's right.They hurt my feelings very bad forgets me is that they said the food was good and it wasn't burnt. I could show you a picture take. Your choice go. There if you want to, but I'll never, ever go there again. Not about the money I spend whatever and I get paid for the rest of the other food but I was very upset and I think this place should not be there. And they charge a lot of money. The stake that they burn baked potato, who burns a baked potato, who burns a spiral, gets in taste like charcoal. If I want the charcoal, I would have went to the supermarket and ate that bag, ha ha. It's the truth, please don't go there. Find a better place. I'm gonna call full administration. Anybody that conceive for their own eyes? What I experience. It was horrible ruin my anniversary for me and my wife and son.
