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 - 4 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.

We hosted our son's 11th birthday party here and it was completely seamless and stress free. We were hosting a group of special needs kids and the manager (Monique) and staff were super accommodating with any special requests. The kids all seemed to have a great time and, as a parent, I really appreciated how easy it was to host there. We got to actually enjoy the party rather than worry about any logistics.

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!

Traditional German pub fare and drinks. Service was a bit slow but we got everything we ordered. Low key place but not a dive.

I got the beef goulash which was pretty good! Potato pancakes were really good! The plastic utencils werent ideal and portion was a bit small for me
Carter Walsh - 7 months ago
Just another failed attempt to create a German pub in NY. Sadly!
Obazda? So easy to do, yet your version is unenjoyable and has little to nothing to do with Obazda.
Currywurst? Never seen a greenish looking sausage like that and the sauce was terrible. Inedible.
Service: Poor and rude, just as the very grumpy manager/owner.
Two stars only because of the beer selection. But I won’t come back.

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!

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!
JAY BLESSED - in the last week
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 - 2 months ago
The outdoor patio was so spacious and really caught our attention. You can order some tacos and drinks, and enjoy the fresh air outside with friends. There’s some indoor seating too, the area was quieter since people were mainly outdoors. The food was good and so were the drinks. You should definitely try their corn!
Christina W. - 5 months ago
What a nice hangout spot for friends and family and it’s dog friendly!
We had the Cuban sandwich combo and the world famous corn, both were delicious. What I like the most about this place is that it’s really chill and relaxing, especially when the weather is nice.

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.

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!
Talia Karasinski - 6 months ago
Excellent Mediterranean restaurant tucked away on a quiet corner in Fort Greene! Love this spot.
Olea is primarily walk-in, but they do have reservations on Resy that book up on the weekends at key times about 1-2 weeks out.
If you walk up at prime times for lunch or dinner, you can usually expect at least a 30-45 min wait, so plan for that and get a drink nearby. Best to go on slightly off times (we arrived Sunday 2:30pm and sat right away) or on a weekday night.
The food and service is excellent though. For brunch - the shakshuka, patatas bravas and shawarma chicken sliders are all hits. They also have great dips.
Great for outdoor dining during the summer!
Matt Brown - 5 months ago
Excellent neighborhood spot, friendly waiters, cozy indoor and outdoor seating, great food for good prices. Will definitely come back for Happy Hour 4:30-6:30, wine and food happy hour menu. Recommend the 3 dips!

I went on a Sunday night and was happy to be seated at a table for 2 right away. It was pretty full and lively, but there was just enough space for us. Food and service were quick. I would try again if something on their changing menu interested me. I definitely want to try another dessert!
Food
I was excited to see scallops on their specials menu and got the scallops, which came with orzo together in a creamy lemon egg sauce (avgolemono). The sauce had a nice flavor, while the scallops themselves hardly had any flavor, which was sad for me since that was why I had picked the dish.
Had a bite of the Braised Beef Boneless Short Ribs with mashed potatoes and spinach that my friend ordered and was pretty jealous. It was very tasty!
Finished off with the toasted white sesame ice cream which was perfect.
Ambience
This place is cute and intimate. Its Brooklyn style is "charmingly outdated" -- with wooden ceiling fans which suggest to me no HEPA filter. It felt stuffy as soon as walking in but not overwhelmingly so.

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 - 4 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!

Tasty and fast delivery. Not pictured but really great starter was the spinach tarator, I only wish there was more than one half of a pita. Zucchini pancakes were good, but I think it would be better to ask for the yogurt serving on the side for delivery. Kibbeh was super flavorful; I wasn’t sure what it was before ordering, but it’s deep fried and great with lemon. We also got the lamb tacos, which were great, especially when I put the spinach tarator on top.

We were looking for a dog-friendly restaurant on a Saturday night and stumbled upon this place. The staff, especially our waiter Louis, were very accommodating and found us an outdoor table right away. They were very nice to our dog (and us) the whole time.
The Black Iris pitza was delicious. The hummus, and the Juliet and Romeo cocktail were all solid. We'll be back.

Baklava cheesecake… are you kidding me?!
Flaky, creamy, nutty, unreal. Every bite was rich but balanced, a perfect twist on two classics. Easily one of the most special desserts I’ve had in a long time. If it’s on the menu, don’t even think—just order it. 🍰✨

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...

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 - 2 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.

Called to make sure they had Gluten Free bagels, very courteous. They had plain and everything gluten-free.
Upon arrival they were very helpful with a first timer. Paid $16 for a gf lox deluxe bagel sandwich, not bad considering it was house made, gourmet and only could eat half, cos it was massive. Also had the popular bacon, egg, cheese on a gf everything bagel sandwich, $12.
Will come back for sure.

Its a bar. There was a grill going outside, not sure if it was affiliated. I didnt get anything, it was sold out when I left the bar. The bartender was nice although the drinks gave me a headache the next morning. However, the dj was great! We danced and had a fun time! Mario is my fave. I will go back when Im in NY.

Can be a great local vibe or a bad night. Depends on the crowd at Moe's. Would call to check in what theme ea h night is having to confirm if it's your crowd that night. Also, young guys try to get in and makes it a hassle because they cannot handle their alcohol and want to stir up trouble.

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.
