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.

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

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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 had the absolute pleasure of attending a bridal shower here this spring, and the experience was…read morenothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

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.

May be the best kosher meal I've ever had. The food was by far the most creative I've seen anywhere…read moresince Pardes closed. Every bite was phenomenal and perfectly prepared. The ambience is warm, classy and comfortable. The service was outstanding. My husband and I had the kohlrabi wontons, smoked duck potato gratin, and a chateubriand steak that was so tender it cut with just a fork. Can't recommend this place enough, run don't walk to REN!!

My wife and I chose Ren Restaurant in Brooklyn for our anniversary dinner, and it was an experience…read morethat transcended all our dining expectations. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that Ren is leagues above any other restaurant we've visited. Calling Ren a restaurant feels almost like an understatement; it's a culinary journey. The menu is a testament to culinary artistry - each dish, from the appetizers through to the desserts, was a masterpiece. The flavors and textures were unique and memorable, with each bite cooked to absolute perfection. The service at Ren deserves its own accolade - it's a five-star experience in its own right. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, enriching our evening with detailed descriptions of each dish. They didn't just serve food; they presented a story on a plate, explaining the intricate details of the ingredients, preparation, and the symphony of flavors to expect. The ambiance of Ren added to the magic of the evening. The decor was tasteful, the furniture and seating comfortable, creating an environment that was both elegant and inviting. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. In conclusion, dining at Ren isn't just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes all the senses. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, what you receive is far more than just food - it's an evening of unforgettable culinary exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to extraordinary heights.
