Cozy and festive inside with the tastiest cocktails - the Dolores del rio was spicy and fruity without being overwhelmingly sweet. The French fries seemed to be battered and the gem salad was a refreshing balance.

What a great place in Brooklyn Heights! The drinks are off the charts creative and delicious as is the food! We tried the trout dip appetizer and of course had to have the cheese curds, wow! Classic burger with seasoned fries was outstanding! It's a fun atmosphere, great staff, great drinks and great food! Great place!

We waited awhile to get a seat, but I really wanted to go cause I heard such great things. I ordered the burger and I was really happy with it. I'd go back for the vibes. One thing to note, they don't take numbers for the waiting list so you'll have to be around and constantly check in with them. I ended up going to bars around the area to kill time, but we had to keep sending someone to check our spot. Oh when we went there was a private event happening so maybe the wait times are t typically as long as we experienced.

Everytime I walk by this bar, it is always poppin' with people filling up the bar inside and the outdoor tables. We decided to come check it out on a Thursday evening and were able to grab a table in the back. The space has an old school retro, diner vibe to give it a charm. They were quick to provide water for us and were consistent with the refills as well. For drinks, we had the Dolores Del Rio ($16) and Kings County Distillery LIB Single Cask ($18). The Dolores had a nice refreshing taste with a jalapeño kick, which I enjoyed. To pair with our drinks, we nibbled on the Cheese Curds ($14) as well. I have always been indifferent about cheese curds, but the ones here were probably the best I've had! They came out piping hot, so the cheese just melted in your mouth with the crunch from the batter. I also really enjoyed the sour cream dip to pair with this as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the items were did order, although the menu is quite limited. The rest of the menu didn't appeal to us too much, but the cheese curds and dolores martini was delicious.

Some of the best cheese curds I've had in QUITE some time + an irresistibly delectable burger + great beer + amazing service = highly recommend this place!!! My friend had the trout and loved it as well. Absolutely fantastic spot to stop by for a drink or a bite during your night out in Brooklyn Heights. Was there early Friday evening and the place was extremely lively already! Wonderful ambiance to accompany the great food and drinks.

Cool retro vibe, packed with people, busy bar and restaurant. We went for the burgers after seeing them featured on some burger show. They're really good! We were lucky to get a table fairly quickly (2ppl), as most of the others waiting were larger parties. We got a drink at the bar during the brief wait. They also transferred our bar tab to the table which is a nice service that most places won't do. (They will make you close out your bar tab before being seated). Burgers were on buttered toasted buns, are doubles (unless you specify that you only want one patty), and have little American flag toothpicks in them which was fun and cute

Great option nearby for drinks. This place has been in the neighborhood for decades. I was confused by its name since it's in Brooklyn. So it was surprising to learn that Brooklyn is technically part of the Long Island mainland! The service was attentive. The interior gave off classic old historic diner vibes. We were the first people there at around 6pm so I was sad to learn that there was no happy hour! The cocktails were really well done priced at 16-18 dollars. I would def come back for a cocktail. I liked the Dolores Del Rio - perfect sour and perfect spice. The Improved Pedennis Club was great too. I liked that the cocktails weren't overly sweet. We shared some fries and cheese curds. Can't really comment on the other food options.

We've passed by this restaurant so many times, but never thought to pop in until our friends suggested it for dinner. They prepared us for a great meal of burgers, cheesecurds, and strong martinis, and they were 100% correct We each ordered our own burgers + fries, cheesecurds for the table, and a gem salad to be healthy. But it was deliciously covered in grated cheese To top it off, we got the strongest martini I've ever had. It was crisp and cold and huge! I dont think they take reservations, but they have another room in the back with more tables so we didn't wait very long Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for any of the above

The wait: Came on a Saturday night and put our name in for 2 people at 6:29 PM. We were seated at 7:46 in the dining room. Believe the bar is first come first served, so that may be a shorter wait. The drinks: I tried the long island gimlet, the martini, and the improved pendennis club. The martini was absolutely perfect, and the improved pendennis was my second favorite. The food: My boyfriend and I shared the little gem salad, fried cheese curds and LI burger. The cheese curds were by far the best thing we ate, but the burger was also amazing. Overall would return - if only to sit at the bar and drink martinis!!
