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.

Magnolia

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".

Daisy's Diner

I went there for breakfast this morning and was so disappointed!  I had mentioned it's good old fashioned diner food but something has happened there.  It was bad!  Bad!  Omelet was dry, overcooked, chicken fingers were overcooked and the fries were very greasy even for diner standards.  I am telling you the new remodeled Park Slope Diner is looking GOOD!  I ordered an iced coffee and the coffee was that left over, bitter, nasty stuff.  Even a ton of milk couldn't help it.  I left it on the edge of the table as a hint - no one got it.

Kid friendly:  It's a diner, they didn't seem to care this time.

Perch

Service is AWFUL!  Food is okay, not enough of it, but the service there really makes it difficult to recommend to anyone.

I walked in with two children, ordered brunch and not once was it mentioned that a kid's menu is available.  It's on the back page of the menu in very small letters to ask your waiter. If I could grab her attention I would have.  I did ask her if I could have some more coffee, please - I got no response, so of course, I repeat myself only to have her abruptly tell me she heard me and would get when she had a moment.  She never once offered the kid's menu to us when we ordered we only spotted it on the back when we asked for the menu again because we were still hungry.  Yes, we were still hungry.  I will not go back.

Kid friendly - whatever.

Napoli Bakery

You walk in and you get bread. Nothing fancy, not pastries, a good ole Italian bakery with the most incredible lard bread I have ever had! Proscutto bread, sundried tomato, semolina all fresh, baked on the premises (of course).

This is the place to go for authentic lard bread, if you have never had it or even heard of it - go live the good life and get some.
