I recently visited Chuck E. Cheese and was pleasantly surprised by my experience! Right from the start, the employees were incredibly friendly and efficient, making the check-in and ordering process a breeze. The food was served quickly and was hot, which is always a plus when you’re hungry! However, I did find the prices to be on the expensive side, especially for kids' meals. While I understand that it's a fun place for children, the cost can add up quickly, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The atmosphere at Chuck E. Cheese is cool and welcoming, perfect for families looking for a fun day out. The cleanliness of the establishment also stood out to me, which is definitely a bonus for a place that sees so many young diners. One thing I wish was included is free parking. It would make the experience even better if we didn’t have to worry about additional costs when we arrive. Overall, I had a great time at Chuck E. Cheese and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outing with the kids!

The kids had fun, however is very pricey and only some staff are helpful. Food was not well prepared. Games are fun for the kids but again the pricing for the amount of time does not match. Would maybe go here again.

We’re here today celebrating my little brothers birthday , and though they seemed to be short staffed be Amber was courteous and attentive through the whole experience. She was upbeat and friendly when selling memorabilia , she also saved us when it came to lighting the candles she was there . Up until the very end when she kindly offered us to go plates to put the rest of my brothers cake in . Thank you Amber you definitely deserve a promotion!!!!!

If you like pizza, arcade machines, and slightly childish atmosphere, it's a hit. Perfect for kids, inducing small kids. Woks great for birthday parties, with a whole personalized spectacle around it. Chuck, the mascot, also periodically appears to dance with kids.

I like that this chuck e cheese has a lot of games that are not broken. The one on howard beach is terrible. I took my kids on the trampoline (it’s an extra $12). But my kids loved it. I don’t like that there were many rules in there for kids to follow. There was no sitting aloud so there’s that. It was pretty good, but i heard and witnessed horrible things that a manager was saying to the employees. Very unprofessional and many employees are kids so a grown man yelling at kids. Truly disgusting. Overall it was a great experience, chuck e cheese just needs to do better on who they hire.

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!

This place is always solid. Have been going here since before the pandemic and I'm so glad it survived. It is truly a gem and makes you feel like you are in a true German beer garden. Food is great, beers are even better.

Fun, great ambience and they provide a huge screen for playoffs that plays the Knicks! Great service and amazing beers but the schnitzel is not the best I’ve had. Nevertheless, great spot for the neighborhood

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!

One of my absolute favorite spots in Brooklyn in the spring/summer time! I always tell any of my friends who haven’t been here to come because the atmosphere is so great! The food and drinks are really good as well. My go to drink is a passion fruit margarita, highly recommended! Also Kelly was amazing. Her energy was so great and she’s so friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to come back!

The plantains were the highlight of my meal, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I just wish there had been a few more pieces! My only complaint was the presence of little flies that kept trying to join me while I ate. Since the spot is semi-outdoor, it makes sense, but it did take away from the experience. Overall, the meal was great, but the atmosphere left a lasting impression for the wrong reason.

The atmosphere is great always I remember back in the days. I used to deliver chemicals to this establishment and it was always packed. I see a lot has changed but nevertheless still adult place. The rice bowl was great, but not so much the quesadillas they weren’t done well, but I must say the sweet plantains definitely on point
Perseverance - a month ago

Ordered Elote corn, eggplant tacos and sweet plantains - probably the best plantains I've ever eaten in my life. The slight charred crunch on top with juicy interior blew my mind. I was just here last night and already dreaming of going back. The eggplant tacos was also top notch. Staff are super friendly and warm. The atmosphere at night made it feel really cozy inside the booths. Lots of fun neon lights and decor.

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!

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.

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!

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!

This is my favourite Turkish food in New York City. Every dish was perfectly cooked and perfectly spiced. The dessert was exquisite and the coffee was on point. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will come again.

Deniz in Brooklyn is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Turkish cuisine! From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, and each one was more flavorful than the last. The lamb shish kebab was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the chicken Adana was fantastic as well– the baba ganoush was incredibly fresh. One standout is the bread, freshly baked and served warm. The attention to detail and quality in every dish is clear. Deniz offers generous portions at reasonable prices, which makes it an even better find. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. anoush was incredibly fresh. Their drink menu offers a great selection of Turkish wines and cocktails. They also offer non-alcoholic options, and they also have authentic Turkish teas and juices, which are a refreshing treat. To top it all off, their dessert options are wonderful. We tried the kunefe, which was warm and deliciously cheesy. If you’re in Brooklyn and craving Turkish food, Deniz is the place to go. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or even a special occasion!

TLDR great food, inattentive service, mixed atmosphere. Got the three meat & a mezze platter for 3 people and that was more than enough food, no room for dessert (although it looked so good 🤤). SO DELICIOUS!! But the wait staff never came back around the whole time we were dining, which was strange especially since we kept a menu at the table to browse other offerings. Thankfully the mezze came out first, because there was not enough pita served with that and idk how we would've gotten to order more without getting up to track down a waiter. The music was bad. Idk what is with restaurants these days, everyone is always playing bad pop or house music. As you can see in one of my photos there were a bunch of vinyl albums set on the console next to our table - why not play these artists?? I don't want to sit in a nice restaurant and listen to David Guetta lol. And the paper bags over the lights took me out 😂 what is thaaatt!! The diffused light effect is nice but c'mon y'all.. $25 plates and paper bags taped to the ceiling? I had to laugh. Anyway I'd definitely come back because the food was perfect (:

A friend visiting from out of town and I decided to explore Brooklyn Heights, and what a discovery we made! Upon stepping off the G train, a hidden gem popped up on Google Maps, and it was impossible to resist. Though the restaurant wasn’t fully open yet, Neslie greeted us with such warmth and even offered us prime seating. From that moment, we knew we were in for a treat—and what a food adventure it turned out to be! My friend Nancy ordered the Lamb and Chickpeas, and one bite made me instantly jealous. That dish was absolutely divine—rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. Meanwhile, I went with the Salmon Kebab on Neslie’s recommendation, and wow… just wow. As someone who’s cautious about fish, I was floored by how perfectly seasoned and savory it was. The rice served alongside was the ideal complement. To top it off, I had the Dal Soup, curious to see a Middle Eastern spin on a dish so familiar to me as an Indian. It did not disappoint! Paired with the rice, it was so good I devoured it without a second thought. The pita bread? Completely forgotten—sorry, pita. 😅 It was two hours of pure bliss—great company, an incredible server, and food that left us happily full and satisfied. Thank you to this fantastic spot for such a memorable experience! We’ll be back. 💗

Had a late lunch /early dinner here one Sunday and enjoyed the mezze platter with garlic bread. Tasted very fresh and healthy, left us feeling very satisfied. Sat in the outdoor (undercover) area, so only critique is that service was a little slow out here, since you're a bit out of sight from inside.

Such a lovely spot! The food was delicious and well priced. Atmosphere was peaceful and has great ambiance. The waitstaff was above and beyond the best! Very friendly and made sure we were enjoying the food. Even helped me and my friend take pictures! Would definitely come back again!

Pizza was SO good had to come twice in two days.. Excellent slices

This is the best pizza place in town. It deserves a Michelin star. The Owner is hard-working and dedicated to making pizza. Excellent Pizza. The workers are like machines. They're flawless and that's pretty frightening. Please come here and experience. Excellency for yourselves.

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...

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+

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.

Hadn't been home in a while. The bagels soothed my soul! The lox spread is delicious! I bought a dozen bagels to take with me!

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.

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.

As always, the food was incredible! I usually get the pastrami (amazing + definitely get the Moe’s sauce), but I got a brisket burger this time and it was insanely good. Love the Swiss cheese, wish I had gotten onion rings, but it arrived hot + was so good especially with jalapeños added!

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.

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.

Amazing ice-cream. Delicious and with fresh fruits. Highly recommended to try it!

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.
