Me and my sister were on a holiday to New York and our kids have been watching chuck e cheese on you tube and asked us to go and buy some merchandise. The staff were extremely helpful letting us in to purchase these then very helpful and patient with us while finding out what our kids would like. Not sure the man that helped am sure he may have been a manger even gave us a free gift. Thank you very much we will have very happy children when we go back to Scotland and thank you for making us feel very welcome while we were here.

Amazing experience!! We booked a birthday party for our daughter’s 7th birthday. The staff were great! Everyone very friendly and attentive since the moment we walked in. The young lady who assisted us was wonderful! The food was good. Everyone , adults and children had so much fun playing the games! Will definitely book another party at this location in the near future

The food was good and the games were all new and in working order. The kids had a blast with the games and have trampoline. There is a height limit for the trampoline, I think 54", so older kids aren't able to jump. The service was not great, we had a difficult time ordering and then they had more than half of the tables closed which made it very hard to find tables for our group to sit together.

Visited this Chuck E. Cheese when on holiday from the UK and I must say was a splendid experience. The manager was super friendly and paid for the pizza for me and my brother. Will always recommend Chuck E. Cheese to my friends and family and I’m waiting for the first UK branch to open, I will be there on opening day no matter what.

I bring my family here on occasion, because my toddler loves the excitement of the occasion, as did I when I was younger - pizza, games, music, lights, prizes, characters...! And to be fair, this one is kept generally clean and accessible for kids. Considering the building and area, it is very safe and we love how they make us take a photo with our kid when entering, to ensure we leave with the same. There aren't a lot of variety in the games, and for sure they are focused on the ticket system, where one can trade them in for prizes. Very few video games that are purely for entertainment. Chuck E. comes out on a regular basis and does a dance routine with the kids - could use some energy but it's good for what it is. The kids enjoy that interaction. The pizza isn't bad to be honest. The salad bar is lacking but could be worse. Of course, prices are crazy but welcome to NYC. The employees have the power to make or break the entire experience. I've been there in the past where a joyful and interactive staff member actually enjoyed their job... and it made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! On our latest visit, most of the employees were approachable at least, even when a game broke down and we had to get help. However, I couldn't find a single one with a smile on his/her face unfortunately. There was one in particular, Savana, that singlehandedly made our visit bad. Not sure if she runs the place or not, but she certainly acted like it, yelling at kids and adults in different areas - the salad bar, the trampoline park, the birthday area, the prize area - never had a good thing to say to anyone and, in fact, was extremely rude to most. Bottom line is the place isn't bad to go with your family, but if only the employees enjoyed their jobs and were encouraged to have pleasant interaction with the visitors, it could be amazing! At the very least, they could pretend to be nice to the kids, as it is a family outing... and if they don't like kids, this is not the place for them!

We go here for Trivia night every Wednesday. As we're regulars we're always served well, though last night's service was really poor even though they weren't that busy. I love this place for the beer and sausages - you can't go wrong in a German restaurant . Try the kielbasa, chicken brat and the currywurst with a few toppings. The main dishes are pretty good too. But definitely, definitely go here during trivia night. Joe, the host, is just a real fun energetic dude and the vibe of this place is just at another level during that time.

This was one of the few places still in Fort Greene after being away 9 years. I wasn't really into it. But the stand up comedy that I attended for was fantastic. I would definitely go back for that.

Favorite German beer hall in the area! Good selection of beers and wine, fun atmosphere, great service and food! They have trivia night every Wednesday, board games to play, fussball table, big comfy loungey couches, communal tables etc. Fun bar! I also LOVE that they have vegan sausage option on their menu!! I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in the area!

Stopped in for a bite before a game at Barclays. Service was slow with only one server who seemed to be covering all the tables. Beer orders came quick, ordered an appetizer that took about 30 minutes to get. We would’ve ordered entrees but server never came back to table to get order. Would go back for casual beers, but if you are looking for a quick spot for dinner (we had just under an hour, I’d go somewhere else.
Lauren Brandt - 2 weeks ago

Great atmosphere and menu. My partner is German and vouches for the authenticity. Not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon, relaxed, considerate and on the ball service, good variety of beers and sausages. Vegan options as well. Reasonable prices for NY, not exactly a steal but not marked up.

Nice spot for quality + reliable food - great outdoor atmosphere and plenty of seating. CASH ONLY!! They have 2 ATM’s on-site just in case you forget, the atm fee isn’t too bad (about $2.50). The frozen drinks are great, the Piña colada was very strong but still delicious! They carry a variety of beverages like Jarritos and Mexican Coke. The Cuban sandwich is definitely one of the best in the city, along with the street corn. The quesadilla was pretty standard. I would definitely return and we love the outdoor area so much. One thing the restaurant could improve on big-time… not having the host/person taking orders have both AirPods in… they were clearly listening to music loud to the point they were whispering because they couldn’t hear themselves. I thought it was a bit rude and off-putting, almost wanted to leave because we approached and the acknowledgement that we were there seemed inconvenient for the employee. 😕

AN OVERPRICED, GRUMPY-STAFFED, ADULT SLURPEE VENDOR MASQUERADES AS CUBAN RESTAURANT. i’ve gone to Habana Outpost a handful of times — when it isn’t closed for months on end. After my meal last week I won’t be going back. Not that i’ll be missed! i realize i have a minority opinion here — that many people rate HO pretty high; i’m sure it’s mostly because of their buzz from the adult slurpees. But for me, this last time really just capped off a long list minor irks about this place. I’ve posted pics of the food they charged me $13-16 for — a pretty typical meal there, I’d say: pretty bland, pretty unappealingly slopped on the plate, and very overpriced. Beyond the food, which my kids could make better, the service is borderline offensive. Not sure why the staff is so unhappy. Like, really! Why? Is it a top-down thing? Is the owner just super horrible and makes everyone’s lives there miserable? Because they all lose their jobs on the regular when he closes the restaurant for 6 months a year? Is it that people complain all the time that HO ONLY TAKES CASH…. oh but you can pay them $3 (plus your bank charges) to use their ATM…… anyway. There are so many choices in Fort Greene; for me there is no reason to ever go back to Habana Outpost. Harumph!

Love the elotes (grilled corn on the cob) and piña colada drinks with whatever sweet sauce you want added (Mango, strawberry, guava, passion fruit, pineapple, etc.)
Princess Campbell - 8 months ago

One cool place! I have to be honest, this is more of a Bar that has great food than a restaurant. First off, the food was delicious! All of us had grilled street corn and it was really good, its a bit salty but thats why there is a slice of lemon to balance it out. The roasted pork bowl was heavenly, it came of course with rice, salad and beans and I could barely finish it. Tacos were also excellent, fresh ingredients, shrimp was nicely grilled and the guacamole that came with the tacos was freshly made, im pretty sure it was not sitting the whole day and they just scooped it up with every order. The Mojitos were really good, not stingy with the alcohol and not too overpowering. They taste great. We had our dog and like most restaurants and establishment in this area welcome pets. Would definetly recomend this place if you like South American food especially Cuban food and have a bit of a drink.

So great to see this spot open for the season again! Love their fish tacos and their frozen margaritas are perfection on a hot day 🍹

We had brunch here. I would give 2.5 stars. Why not anymore? The atmosphere was pleasant. But as soon as we sat down, it was noticeable how milky the glasses and cutlery were. It took quite a long time before we could order. We had poached eggs (eggs in purgatory) and a brisket sandwich. After a very, very long wait, the plates arrived. The poached eggs were so hard I had to give them back. On the second attempt, at least one egg was still liquid. The meat in the sandwich was super dry. Think if the brisket was pulled and topped with a good sauce, the sandwich would be perfect. The drinks were good. In my opinion, there are better quality brunch places in Brooklyn.

Great food and a comfy atmosphere. Stopped by during the afternoon at happy hour and was presented with unique dishes that had great flavor. It gets a bit busy, but the service remains excellent. Their ingredients were fresh and local. Cocktails were well crafted. The raspberry sorbet ice cream was creamy and sweet!
Samiha Rahman - 3 months ago

A favorite spot for many and for good reason. The food is thoughtfully prepared and served. New takes on traditional ingredients. I especially appreciate the falafel encrusted artichoke appetizer. We ordered the Greek paella, perfectly portioned and prepared for two. The atmosphere is eclectic and relaxed, church pew seating, well rubbed bronze accents, Mediterranean tiling with weathered wood all combine for a delightful dinner. I’m never disappointed when I visit, and the staff are all wonderful.

Wow it’s been 2 weeks and I’m still thinking about this meal. We started with the halloumi which was our fav! The Brussels sprouts were delicious too. I had the braised chicken which was so tender and moist. I also loved the mashed potatoes that came with the chicken. The staff were amazing and service was speedy, friendly and I’ll definitely be back soon. We ate right before attending a concert at Irondale and it was a perfect start to our night!

I went here to have dinner with my aunt. We both loved Olea. We came at the tail end of happy house and grabbed the house red. It was a good red unlike your typical house selection. I had the pumpkin soup with candied chickpeas and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect meal for a cold winter day. My aunt had the filet of sole which she also loved. We also had sole “fish sticks” to kick off the meal which we peculiar but also very good. I would absolutely come pack. Great place for a date, a small birthday dinner, or just a night out with the Judys.

We stopped by here because our initial plan didn’t pan out and good thing because we discovered this gem! The food was on point and service was great. My only ish were the drinks. I didn’t taste the requested flavor and it was more rum than what I expected. They tried to fix it though but I guess I had different expectations. It was the painkiller. The mojitos were okay but I’ll leave the drinks out lol because the food was everything! Desert was on point, the mosaic and it was shareable! We had the Branzino and seafood linguini and man! Was it everything and then some. The pictures don’t tell it all. The side rice and salad complemented the pan seared Branzino and the linguini was packed with a lovely variety of seafood like shrimp, calamari, salmon and tilapia. Now the pan seared Branzino was well seasoned and a lovely size. I have eaten Branzino at a few restaurants and this was top notch. Service was friendly, decent, accommodating and professional. We had a lovely time and we recommend for singles, couples and large groups! Cheers!

My overall rating is 4.5 stars for this restaurant. I'm taking off 0.5 star due to the high prices considering the fact that it's located all the way in Brooklyn. I don't think that it is fair to charge Manhattan prices there. Other than that, both food and service quality were good. They do have an outside seating available although we sat inside.
Sergey Butenco - 3 months ago

The food was good but overpriced imo. I was looking forward to the stuffed cabbage but it fell flat. Their turkish custard dessert is delicious though, and the staff is so nice and very attentive. The interior is large and well decorated.

I made a reservation here earlier in the day, and they got us seated real quick. The service was super friendly and efficient. We started with buffalo wings where pretty big and tasty. We also got the beef shish and adana kebab platters with no rice and extra salad. All the food is halal and it was a good meal, but a bit too pricey for what you get.
Osama Malik - 4 months ago

A long-time neighborhood favorite, this large, sometimes noisy restaurant serves up hearty portions of skillfully prepared traditional Turkish fare. Personal choices include the chicken Adana kebab and the mosaic cake, but all the Eastern Mediterranean classics are on the menu. Service is cheerful and efficient.

Lovely little Mediterranean restaurant with a bar inside. The mezze plate is a must to try it all! We also got the zaatar bread which was unreal. Almost like an olive oil pizza. The last picture is of the cheese spanakopita. 10/10. I would gotten three more of those. The service was a bit slow even though we were only one of two tables and there were about 3-4 servers available. We also had the spicy lamb sausage plate which was a great deal. Would definitely come back!

This restaurant has a cozy date vibe going on. I went on a week night and the restaurant seating on the inside was full, every table had a customer. We walked in and was seated immediately, the menu has so much to choose from, I had the chicken gyro and my boyfriend had the lamb wrap. Both were so delicious. The people who worked there were so friendly and pleasant, our waiter was so knowledgeable with the food and the drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant people.
Diana “D” - 5 months ago

Lovely brunch place, got the mixed grill ( you can pick three grills from the menu and we got lamb, chicken and salmon ) , shakshuka and hummus mix, all came with a pita. This was good for 4 person. Our server was so fun, love the vibe.

This place provides an amazing and intimate dining experience. The staff, especially our server Luis, we're fantastic. We drove all the way from the Connecticut/Massachusetts border to try the food after reading the reviews. Everything was better than expected. My husband's birthday was made all the more special by this visit. We tried the Mezze Plate, Salmon Kebab, and Chicken Ouzi. The flavor combinations were excellent, portions were extremely generous in size...I just wish I lived closer so I can try different things on the menu more often. I apologize for my photo quality, I didn't want to use a flash and ruin the ambiance for the other patrons. The photo is the Chicken Ouzi. We definitely plan on visiting again.

Girlfriend and I stopped in today around 3 pm and had a great experience. The food was amazing (the Pitza was so unique and you have to try the Basbousa for dessert). The servers were awesome helping us with our selections and just checking in occasionally to make sure we were doing okay. Highly recommend

I have ordered from here quite a few times. I ordered 4 pies today & they were ready quickly. One of the pepperoni pies was barely cut... not a big deal. What I can't ignore is the fact that a whole cheese pie was burnt. There is no way that pie should've been served. I am disappointed...

Delicious! Crispy crust, fast service. Great lunch spot, but be warned — limited seating. Quick customer turnover. Awesome bruschetta pizza. Now I’ve been here many times, and tried lasagna pizza, veggie pizza, and bruschetta pizza (absolute must try). I’ll be back again and again.
ashley kauffman - 7 months ago

It's a personal sized pizzeria and I cannot recall ever getting a bad slice or pie. Staff is very friendly and the pizza is fairly priced. If you're in the Atlantic Mall area and need a quick bite, hands down a top recommendation

Hot piping, fresh, delicious, NY slice right here in Fort Greene. How lucky are we to live close nearby. As my Mother-in-law said about this place: "I don't know how I would survive living next to a pizza that is so good". After trying all of their slices, we have a favorite: White Pesto. Yum! 2nd place: Stuffed meat pizza. See you soon, dear pizza.

Always a normal experience here, I’m never fully obsessed with the bagels. Decent service and plenty of seating - good location too. This just wouldn’t pop up on my radar or extraordinary bagels in NYC.
Wall Fish - 8 months ago

I like this bagel place. They have a lot of bagel and cream cheese options. There are also a bunch of tables to sit and eat at. The staff is friendly and nice. There are a lot of good bagel places in NYC but if your near Atlantic Barclays area this is good place to go.

Ok, this is a great neighborhood spot with affordable drink and good music ( r&b, hip hop etc) currently there’s no kitchen but they allow you to bring in your own food. At night a taco food truck comes at night as well. Great watering hole to meet up with friends. Bartenders are friendly and mix the drinks well.

I had a great time when I was there. Vibe was real and the drinks were strong. Will definitely visit there again

This place was a one and done spot for me. I liked sitting outside better then being inside this spot. As it got later in the night I wondered how anyone living above this place could enjoy their apartment with the super loud music and voices from this bar. I guess you have to be a regular customer to enjoy.

Waffle bowl ice cream was amazing, and the guy gave me a cold milk cup (I was really craving it; don’t ask why). He smiled and said, “ you’re the first one to ask” and gave it to me even though it wasn’t on the menu. 5⭐️

Went there last night for the first time. They have a great selection. I got a very thick peanut butter milkshake and it was excellent. But the calories are another thing so I’ll not make it a habit of coming here too often. 5/5 stars.

We ordered 2 pints of Chocolate Devotion using a b1g1 deal on Uber eats. Ended up being ~$30 delivered. Chocolate Devotion was exactly what we wanted - chocolate with chocolate and more chocolate. The ice cream came a little soft so one went directly in the freezer and we started on the other. Still delicious and satisfying though! Would definitely buy it again especially with b1g1.

I love Cold Stone and was surprised they had one here at the Atlantic Terminal. I'm pretty sure they've been here for a while and I just didn't notice. Great different flavors of ice cream, different blends and styles. The customer service is always good, never had any issues either. Prices are a little steep for ice cream but it's to be expected with how expensive everything is nowadays. But if you're a fan of ice cream and Cold Stone's definitely hit them up if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.
