Brooklyn Flipsters


OMG!! Love it! This is such a great improvement from the last place that lived there. The burgers are juicy and have fresh ingredients to accompany it. We ordered a bacon burger and to our delight the bacon was crispy! The chicken wings have the best hot wing sauce i have had in BK. The veggie burger was excellent, crunchy crust with flavorful ingredients Delivery was fast and the waitstaff is friendly. Nicely priced for families.

Kid friendly - VERY!

I love this place! It's got a great concept and good hot dogs. The only problem I have with it is my children do not like the hot dogs. They have skin on them and it is not what they want. I would love to know if other children like them. They are as kind as they could be and just very accomodating to everyone that comes in. Inexpensive.

Kid friendly - YES!

Blue Ribbon


I have loved this place since the first one that opened in the city - years ago. I have spent many an hour at this restaurant on Sullivan Street. Which is why I was so excited when I moved to breed in Brooklyn and saw my favorite haunt. Just to relive the ole days with kids and the same good food was a prize. And it's all still delish! I did get food poisening here the first time but I braved it again for old time sake and it has been consistently good.

Kid friendly - Yeah, maybe - there are a lot there early.

7th Avenue Donut Shop

One of the best places in Park Slope to get a fresh donut. Adequate diner food - really one of the best for the donuts. The waitstaff is so sweet they give away donuts to customers at the end of the shift. They are open 24 hours and deliver!

Big Trout



We had a late lunch here and the food was fabulous. My friend had pulled pork sandwich, which had the right amount of spice and pork and large enough portion to save for dinner. The bread was garden variety soft italian bread but worked well. The coleslaw was
crunchy and fresh but not enough of it. I had the Catfish Po'Boy - it had big juicy pieces of perfectly fried catfish served with a dill pickle, lettuce, tomato and this great mustard! Added bonus was some hush puppies - yum.

We happened to be there during happy hour and we had half price beers and half price chili cheese fries to start. Good place to hang and chill.

Very kid-friendly in the early hours.

Bar BQ


As many times as I have been there is as many times it has been different - in every way!

The meat platter combo with ribs, brisket, sausages and pulled pork was AMAZING the first time. The kid's Mac & Cheese was great and creamy. Beer was excellent and free flowing. Steve's Key Lime Pie (the best ever) was of course delicious. Service was friendly and fun.

The second time I went the ribs were dry, the Mac & Cheese seemed like it was left over from the last time I went, the beer ran out and service was unattentive and snippy. The only consistent piece was the key lime pie and that's outsourced!

I went again with friends and it was half and half. I was so pleased the first time so I keep going back to see if it was a fluke. I shall keep you informed.

I went here recently with my family (as usual) and I have to say that it was very expensive!!!  I didn't get anything insane nor even a bottle of wine but it was expensive!  The food was very good, the service was excellent.  The lovely part is being able to sit outside and my little ones could run around without disturbing other diners (which is what we all care about, right?).

Anyway, keep that in mind when planning.

Now, you can plan a cheaper evening there, I am sure.  There is Sundays where kids eat for free.  And Mondays where pizza is $6.00 at the bar or something like that, so it's possible to enjoy it but I am looking at as a night out and it was "trop cher".
