50 Best American Restaurants near Breezy Point

“Last night I celebrated my Birthday at Kennedy's Restaurant and it was Fabulous time!! I absolutely love this restaurant the atmosphere is so beautiful and elegant I almost felt like I was on a cruise ship * We had a great table by the window overlooking the beach * and I totally felt like I was away on vacation somewhere which put me and my guests in a great celebratory mood. I love the fact that the chairs were very comfortable and cushioned and there were no stairs to use the restroom which was a big plus for my elderly aunt. The food was absolutely delicious we shared the fried calamari platter and scallops risotto for appetizers. The porterhouse veal chop was absolutely divine! We ended the night with a birthday's cake and the live guitarist/vocalist chimed in and sang happy birthday! It was all above and beyond what I could of asked for and me and my guest all had the best time ever! Special thanks to our server Daniel and the Hostess that made us comfortable. Can't wait to go back🥳“

“This place is astoundingly good from top to bottom. The hostess Carla was amazing. Our server was next level. The clams casino is one of the best dishes I’ve had in my twenty years in New York hands down. Don’t sleep on the prawns or the lobster orzo. My only complaint possible is the portions are a little small but GOD DANG are they delicious. The burger is very tasty but maybe not worth the price but everything else is truly unfathomably scrumptious. Been here twice now. Plan on being back as much as my wallet can handle it.“

“Go to Olmstead & eat alllll the things! Delicious!“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“My husband and I dined here during our visit to NYC. We came from the Cincinnati area and it was our first visit to the city. When planning the trip, Colonie caught my eye so we decided to give it a try. I’m so glad we did, because it quickly turned into the absolute highlight of our trip and was an evening we won’t forget. The service is outstanding - each individual host made us feel like family. We were never short beverages, and our space at the chefs table was kept tidy at all times - no empty plates left behind. The sous chefs are impossibly talented at what they do and gave every single plate attention and care before it left their sight. And lastly, the Chef is a true artist and extremely kind, humble person. We were delighted when he walked over to pay a visit as it was our anniversary dinner. The food is layered with exquisite, complimentary flavors that are refined and articulate but also make these dishes relatable, familiar, and remarkable at the same time. As a couple traveling foodies, I can without a doubt say this is one meal you don’t want to miss when you visit NYC. I’m just waiting to visit again and see a Michelin star outside the entrance. Forever a staple every time we return to the city. Thanks Chef and crew for an unforgettable experience.“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.“

“The salads were absolutely amazing. Several of us were there. We had steak one with salmon and the other with chicken all were delicious. We had the wedge salad. The dressing was phenomenal. Generous portions. Their buffalo wings and tuna, rice, cakes, or superb“

“I love their almond croissants and walnut levain breads that I get at the NYC Greenmarket - I am sorry they will no longer be there after January 22nd, but look forward to visiting their restaurant in Brooklyn soon !“

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!“

“Great neighborhood spot. Food was thoughtful and delicious. Service was awesome. Took my dad who was visiting from out of town and he really enjoyed his meal and the attentive and friendly service from the moment we walked in. Owner even stopped by to check in. Thank you!“

“Great vibe, great food, friendly service“

“This place always seems to amazing. The brunch, the dinner, the food, the quality, the drinks, and the service it’s just awesome. It’s very under the radar. It’s a great date spot, it’s a great group spot and a special addition to Bay Ridge. If you ever go there on a Wednesday GET the fried chicken it’s so good. I have one issue - why are people complaining about prices. What do you expect for good quality ingredients? Please don’t go. you’re the people that ruin our neighborhood spots. Go eat at Chipotle.“

“From the moment you walk in, you can feel the heart behind this place. The owners are incredible – warm, present, and clearly invested in making every guest feel at home. You don’t just get great service here, you feel genuinely taken care of.

The food is outstanding. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they actually love what they do. And the drinks? Absolutely perfect – balanced, creative, and just what you want whether you’re having a casual night out or celebrating something special.

One of the best parts: it’s truly amazing for families. So many places claim that, but Luana’s actually delivers. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming staff, and something delicious for everyone.

Simply put: incredible owners, amazing food, perfect drinks, and genuinely family-friendly. Luana’s is the kind of place you want to come back to again and again.“

“Crazy good fried chicken sandwiches were the perfect pre game for Coney Island. The sandwiches are huge, the chicken is cooked perfectly. The waffle fries were good, not great, would have liked them a little more done. Not much seating so plan accordingly.“

“Excellent service and great food.“

“We were looking for a walkable restaurant to Barclays Center with family friends with 2 children for brunch.

Pure Bistro was a perfect fit. The staff was extremely pleasant, couldn't be more accommodating, the food outstanding and
beautifully presented, the atmosphere wonderful to bring able to converse easily.

Our Brooklyn friends, R. D. choose an outstanding restaurant to recommend.“

“Best babka I’ve ever had, ohhhh my goodness. Best bakery I’ve been to in a long time, and I am bakery-obsessed. Already dreaming of how and when I can make my way back to Park Slope just for this and the super chocolate-chip cookie. But that babka, this subtle mix of Nutella and chocolate (I don’t even like Nutella) and the smooth, moistness of it all is so perfect, with this sugared little crispy bottom. Shoutout to Omri, a talented stop-motion artist working his last week, who was so warm and helpful to me.

5 stars!!!!“

“I was very unfortunately openly weeping intermittently throughout brunch (bad morning) but our server handled it perfectly and didn’t make it weirder than it already was. Shout out to that king! Also the food was very good and they played the entirety of being killed by geese which was pleasant. Would come again thank you for the extra napkins (high quality, great for dabbing at tears) xox and also my Bloody Mary was excellent“

“Fat Rabbit Diner is a Fort Greene gem. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and a menu that nails comfort food with a twist. The fried chicken sandwich and smash burger on Texas toast are must-haves. Deviled eggs? Surprisingly addictive. Great cocktails and wine list, too. Perfect for brunch, date night, or solo bites. Not your average diner—this one’s got Brooklyn soul. But I would recommend additional dessert selections.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time visiting but BEST FOOD. BEST atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for a thing to be better. Highly recommend ❤️“

“It is a business that cares more than just doing business. Loyd and staff care about helping people in the community. The food is great, the Beer is cold and the staff are friendly. What more can you ask? (Rhetorical question lol)“

“I use to eat breakfast every morning there . Me and my cousin Buck Wheat were staples there . The service was amazing! I recommend it go there and enjoy“

“Best burgers in Brooklyn.“

“Great brunch menu, salmon cured in-house and Rose de Provence on tap! Happy and fast service top off a fabulous visit!“

“Great music and a good crowd“

“Fun place with a relaxing atmosphere. I visited Rullo's on a Tuesday and was treated to a wonderful performance by Ms. JizzaBella who was also hosting bingo. Such a fun time! I highly recommend Tuesday bingo nights with Ms.JizzaBella as host and Rullo's bar any night of the week!“

“This is an old school diner, with an new school flair. The offerings are superb with an abundance to choose from. I just don’t choose unconventional offerings at a diner like salad or seafood, so I keep it simple. However, you’re always greeted kindly and whatever you have comes quick and hot. I mainly get the pancake platter, eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries or grits and if I’m feeling a little saucy the corn beef hash - they’ll provide dollops of real butter, if asked, and coffee is decent -no awards there but what do you expect? It checks all the marks for an old school diner people, food is always gonna be above average 4 out of 5, diner is clean, service is good. The ‘at home’ feel can’t be beat with the owner, her son or waiter always there, professional and attentive to whatever your belly fancies!“

“Tres bonnes pizza de très bons plats Delicious gnocchis. Je le recommande“
