    When I'm on the prowl for a hot greasy hunk of meat, this is on my shortlist. One of the best values in Brooklyn for a really good burger. Get the fries, salad won't win you friends.

    Bartender took the time to explain their menu, being very transparent w/what items are fresh/made in house & which items are frozen. Over-all super friendly vibe & definitely will be coming back!

    Good for catching up with friends, dates, getting cheap (+ strong!) drinks, and eating delicious guacamole while watching a game

    The lamb burger is delicious - with feta cheese and olives, it is a Greco-American delight. They have outdoor seating in the "backyard" that's looks great for those nice NY days.

    Cozy, cute, good beer, and a nice, simple bar food menu. A little gem on Atlantic Ave across the street from the cute plant store.

    Portabello sandwich is pretty yummy w/ a good sized portion of fries (though would be considered by many to be small). Sadly they're no longer serving onion rings as they've streamlined down the menu.

    Food is fantastic. Wings are stellar, fries ridiculous, and the quesadilla is a must. Bartenders are friendly and vibe is fun.

    Great local place. No minimums on credit cards, good beer selection, and good alcohol prices. Food is really good as well. Nice vibe.

    Nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. The handcut fries with special sauce on side are tasty! I couldn't resist a second order

    Interesting place. Eclectic music. Last call earlier than other bars in NYC. Did not have much liquor, out of fireball. Both of these are unacceptable. But, tables in back were nice.

    For small groups who can't decide: good selection of beer, whisky, cocktails, and bar snacks.

    Gave our meal to someone else, then tried 2 give us theirs when it came out (their was salmon instead of our pork belly). Ended up taking off our bill, but was annoying nonetheless. We will try again
