Chuck e cheese has become a cash grab rather then the experience. 10 for socks to jump in a establishment we already paid for a table food tokens for a party and couldn't get socks included is diabolical... Everything they charge for now Dave and busters would've been better

The place is conveniently located inside Atlantic Mall. However, the rep who helped us kept pushing the pass deal. We advised her we do not come often enough to purchase the pass with unlimited visits. She kept persisting.
The food was burnt. I ordered a size “regular wings” order online and when it came to the table it only had 9 wings and it was $21!
The staff was decent besides the pushy sales attempt but there was also another employee walking around selling popcorn.
The place was clean and the games that we played were all functioning well. Chuck-e came out to twice while we were there which was great. The kids had a good time despite the issues we had.

There has been reports of them re-using pizza. If one family doesn’t finish their pizza, and there is still in the box, they put it with freshly other pizza. They’re also replacing their fun amazing Chuck E. Cheese gang that perform on stage or any other gang member away so they can replace it with some screen. If you don’t want your kids being addicted to the screen, bring them to the only Chuck E. Cheese location that still has the gang
Matthew Imberg - 7 months ago
Perfect experience! Even though they got rid of the animatronic, it was still a blast! The arcade was super big and amazing, with a big salad bar, and probabably the most delicious Chuck E. Cheese's pizza ever! Even though the customer service was pretty slow, it was still really inviting to go in there with smiles on peoples faces! The new trampoline zone they have is a really good way to bring back the feeling of the Skytubes for the kids!
10/10 experience.

I came here not too long ago with some friends and I was blown away with how comfortable the environment was. The food we ordered was so delicious and the cider, doc hard apple cider, hit the spot. Their goulash is to die for!! I was literally able to cut through my beef with just a single plastic fork. Absolutely amazing and their potato pancakes are crispy and flavorful. It’s decently priced and family friendly as well!!
We also tried their Mac and cheese which was very tasty and different from the one I’m used to but I would definitely order it again. Apple strudel was flaky and moist, something kids will love for sure!

Yum yum yum! Super cute and cozy inside, they were playing Grimes for like an hour straight which to me was just perfect. I got the schnitzel and it was soooo delicious, although the potato pancakes were good but not spectacular (fries were just perfect tho). Definitely don’t plan ur night around the advertised times, they seem to close before midnight if it’s a slow night/a weeknight. Overall, incredibly charming and cozy place to drink 3-5 beers with your loved one and eat delicious food, would highly recommend to anyone looking for well-curated beer in a friendly environment :).

Fun spot for some authentic food. The chicken was fresh, the margarita was delicious, and the grilled corn was amazing. There's a reason it's "world-famous."
Word of caution to anyone who doesn't like it spicy, the grilled corn has some heat to it from the seasoning on top, but it's worth it 😅
Chris Kallmes - 2 months ago
We visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered two bowls: the Roasted Pork and the Beer-Battered Catfish. Both dishes were exceptionally delicious, offering a harmonious blend of flavors. Everything tasted fresh and was generously portioned. The decor was inviting and the atmosphere was great. They have plenty seating options, both indoors and outdoors. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We can’t wait to come back and ry their famous Cubano Sandwich!
Adriana De Pitkin - 5 months ago
I thought the food was excellent and the frozen drinks were also very good. We had the grilled corn, fish, taco, pork, taco and chicken quesadilla. Everything was really good, reasonably priced and the service was friendly. However, there is no strong AC so we were very hot!
W E - 5 months ago
Easily the best Cuban sandwich I’ve had in NYC — juicy, flavorful, and messy in all the right ways. The bread was perfectly pressed with that satisfying crunch, the pork was tender and dripping with flavor, and every bite hit that perfect balance of salty, tangy, and rich. The fries? Golden, crisp, and actually seasoned (bless). This place clearly cares about doing comfort food right.
Nathan Burgess - 2 months ago
Habana Outpost is a Fort Greene classic.
Some seasons ago, this was my stomping ground — back when Ajile was the unofficial Mayor. 🙏🏼Glad to see that the quality of the food remains, and the energy is still very Brooklyn.
Nothing beats a Habana corn and margarita!

Another cute and cozy spot in fort Greene. Friendly service, solid flavors and reasonable pricing. The dips and spreads were standouts but everything was good just not amazing but sometimes that’s ok. Verdict: will return and recommend!

We came to Olea to celebrate my cousin’s birthday for brunch and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, cozy, and artsy—such a welcoming neighborhood vibe that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile.
The brunch was incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, and you can really tell how much care goes into the food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the menu felt elevated while still being comforting and approachable. It was the perfect spot for a birthday celebration—relaxed, intimate, and special without feeling stuffy.
Olea is one of those places that feels like a true gem. The atmosphere, the food, and the overall experience were all fantastic. I already can’t wait to come back—especially to try dinner next time. Highly recommend for brunch, celebrations, or just a great meal in a lovely setting.

Lunch here was great! With spring weather approaching and here, the outdoor seating was perfect. The food was delicious and I’d recommend to try a handful of tapas for sure.
The falafel crusted artichoke was delicious. It’s exactly what you’d expect. The halloumi was great and was accompanied with a nice harissa sauce and chili pepper. Not that spicy. Patatas bravas is basically glorified French fries but that’s fine by me. The almond stuffed dates were good, could probably pass on these.
The arctic char sandwich was herby, savory, and had a little kick of spice. If you’re in the mood for a delicious fish sandwich, I’d 100% go for it.
My GF got the chicken platter and ngl it looked ok. Kinda like large slop platter for a similar price.
Patrick No - 9 months ago
Had dinner here with a big group and loved everything we tried! The dip trio is the move - the pita is so fluffy and fresh. We also tried the mushroom appetizer, branzino, orichette and warm farro salad. All were winners. The staff was accommodating to specific allergy-related requests in our group too. I’d definitely come back!

Reminds me of Istanbul!!
As a frequent traveler I enjoyed my time in Istanbul, Turkey🇹🇷. One of the best things was the food so when I came back home in 2020 I searched for Turkish food. I’ve been coming to Deniz ever since then. The service is friendly , the atmosphere is great and the food is excellent. Deniz is a nice cozy restaurant with authentic Turkish food and decor.
The rice, house salad & Salmon kabob is my absolute fave.
I only wish they had Bulgar on the menu!
Lauren Horne - 2 months ago
An overall relaxed atmosphere which I love. The staff is polite. My dinner companion had the branzino which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had the salmon which was tasty. Overall the staff was polite without being overbearing. I'll definately be back

Everything was perfect as always. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was excellent again. I also tried the chef’s new special dessert — it was amazing! I highly recommend trying it before it’s gone. I also really enjoyed the traditional quince dessert; the texture and flavor were spot on.

I’ve been coming to Deniz since I was a kid and today I brought my children here for the first time! Everything we had was excellent and the service was great. The grilled calamari salad and kofta wrap was delicious. I will always love this place for the memories and for the amazing Turkish cuisine. If you’re thinking about coming here please do!!
Maya Parmeter - 8 months ago
Deniz is an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, we were welcomed with warm, fresh bread that set the tone for an incredible meal. We ordered the Special Beyti Kebab, which was perfectly seasoned ground beef mixed with onions, parsley, and aromatic herbs—grilled to perfection and served with a fresh house salad and fluffy rice. The Chicken Chops were another highlight—expertly grilled, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was delicious, and the service was just as outstanding. If you're looking for authentic Turkish cuisine with top-tier flavors and hospitality, Deniz is the place to go! Highly recommend!

Went on a holiday evening. My friend and I had a great time here! Food was delicious and price was fair.
💛✨🫓The appetizer and plate was huge, came with 2 pitas! Seasoning was impressive and diverse.
🧡🎏🎣Salmon kebab was surprisingly good. It was grilled perfectly with crispy edge while the meat was still juicy. The portion was big.
Lamb sausage was kinda the same as salmon kebab (sides). It was slightly dry but flavorful.
Baklava was fair. Huge piece, tasty, but soggy already.
Julia H - 3 weeks ago
Nice and cozy place to eat! Mezze had some great dips my favorite the labneh and hummus. Was bit underwhelmed with the chickpea salad and beet salad. The lamb sausage on the other hand was full of flavor and had a kick of spice. Very tasty!
Fernanda Ruiz Sandoval - 2 weeks ago
Service was wonderful; space was cute; food was good. The mezze plate was very tasty — good mix of hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, chickpeas, and beets salad. Also got the falafel wrap but would skip. I think this place is more known for their meat dishes so will need to come back for dinner. Will be back :)

I've been waiting so long to try Black Iris, and I finally stopped in for one of their lunch specials. What an amazing deal! The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious. It's a must-try if you're in the area.
My only disappointment? They were out of desserts, which just means I have an excuse to go back!
Tracey M - 3 weeks ago
During a recent visit to Black Iris in Brooklyn with my fiancée, we were warmly welcomed by the entire staff and comfortably seated right away. Adam, the owner, personally helped us navigate the menu to ensure we chose dishes we’d truly enjoy, and the team remained attentive and polite throughout the evening. Our food arrived promptly, and we loved every dish—the mezze plate, the chicken pitza, and dessert were all excellent. The experience delivered on service, atmosphere, and quality from start to finish, earning a full 10/10, and I highly recommend visiting.

Best pizza ive had in 10 years. Possibly the best ever. I got stuffed slice; sausage, pepperoni, beef
Green Goblin - 4 months ago
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...

I have been dealing with this establishment for years. But this evening the delivery service was omg.
I am a disabled veteran of 20 years.
The delivery man swept my entrance and stairs . So he could work safe.
This is very rare, but this just shows NYC and the whole google community what Not Rays is.
So everyone remember this rating because Not Rays is more than just serving Pizza. They are serving our Community.

Excellent slices
George N - 6 months ago
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.

We ordered an egg, bacon, and cheese bagel and it was so good. The egg was creamy and the bacon was perfectly crunchy. I would highly recommend it for a great breakfast. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We have been to a few bagel shops around the neighborhood, and this one was definitely worth it.

Best Bagels in New York City! Hand dipped, crunchy exterior with a soft chew inside, wonderful savory flavor. They have a wide array of bagels, sandwiches, muffins and different spreads! There is usually a line, but that doesn't matter because the service is fast and super friendly!
James Currie - 5 months ago
Food was alright, got bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. It was a bit too savory/salty but otherwise it was ok. I got it for $9.80 which is pretty expensive, last time I only got it for around $7 so prices have risen. I wished there was more seating as there was very little seating area there.

I go there everytime I go to Brooklyn. The bagels are fresh, food good and good portions. I was able to charge my cellphone while I was eating and they even have wifi for the costumers.
The service is a 10+

The quality of Mo’s is going down. They aren’t diverse enough when it comes to music. They tend to play strictly American music and you have to beg whatever dj that’s playing to play Caribbean music or other genres. Drinks are also a bit overpriced, which wouldn’t be bad if the bartenders were all equally skilled 🤷🏽♀️I will say this through, Mo’s is a safe space for LGBTQ+ identifying people and I respect that.

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.

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 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.

Typical coldstone experience. Tucker away in for see or shopping plaza. The service was excellent.
Being in the shopping plaza sorta detracts from the atmosphere as it is tucked away in the corner. However, nice to be close to target and some other stores.
I like the milkshakes but like a lot of the menu items in general at coldstone.
