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🥳“

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

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“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!“

“Chill local spot worth going to even if you're not a local. The burger.... the burger, oh, and the burger. Did I mention the burger? Anyway, we had a bunch of other menu items, and everything is really, really good. We eat out a lot, and Swoonys definitely deserves a spot way up the list of places we really like a lot. Already well on our way to becoming regulars.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The absolute best. A warm hug! Great hospitality day in day out. Accommodating front of the house. Excellent servers. Bartenders are pros. The best managers. One of my favorite places to sit in New York period (and I’ve eaten up and down and around these parts). Fun too! Awesome spot for raw bar (oysters, jumbo shrimp), chips and dip, and the new flatbread. Prime rib night is a winner and the burger goes down as tops. Love you Margie’s - don’t ever change ♥️“

“The perfect evening. My boyfriend and I were looking to celebrate our 5 year anniversary, we’ve enjoyed their brunch so we decided to stop in on a cold night for dinner. We sat at the bar.
We ordered the salmon tartare to start - it was phenomenal - so many flavors and the green sauce has some wasabi in it, the black on top are toasted sesame I think which added a lot of flavor and crunch - I could have eaten one whole serving myself for dinner and be content.
I asked them to space out the food which they did very nicely.
Next we tried the shrimp - buttery and with the green salsa delicious and cooked to perfection.
Next we balled out and couldn’t decide between the lamb shank and the prime sirloin - so we ordered both. I would go back for both of them, they were well balanced and delicious.
That lamb shank fell apart in my mouth, with the savory sauce and the smooth mashed potatoes under it. I will be thinking about that meal for a long time.

To end the night the manager/owner (not sure his name) but he let us try a few of his favorite liqueurs. He then made us a free little s’mores on his homemade marshmellow (all after we paid so he wasn’t trying to work for a tip) then last we were getting up to leave and he poured me another glass of wine and my partner another of the ipa he was drinking and asked us to stay. We stayed for a while chatting about our favorite neighborhood spots
In nyc it’s sometimes hard to get that homey, friendly, neighborhood feel. But here the staff were kind, incredibly attentive, and this was a night we will reflect on for a long time.

Thank you Arden! We will be back“

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

“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 !“

“Service is great, Gary makes amazing bloody Mary’s!“

“We only use the best ingredients. Cozy, family owned and ran.“

“Food and service was awesome“

“Incoyable! Delicious! Brisket fantastic!“

“the waffles 🧇 were delicious and the toppings were a added pleasure service was friendly and the place was clean I suggest everyone to add it to their bucket list You will be hooked !!!!“

“Everything we ordered was really good. The calamari and scampi stood out, especially with that amazing butter garlic sauce. The wings were just okay because the sauce felt a little flat. Both the ribeye and steak frites were high quality and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were easily the best side, super creamy and flavorful. I do wish the steak sauce options were better though. I also wasn’t a big fan of the fries. Just a personal preference but I’m not into that style of fries. What really made the night was the service. Amrita was incredible, very friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. She made the whole experience even better“

“Awesome place to eat breakfast, cordial staff and the most delicious Coffee and Cappuccino in Town“

“My friends and family had a wonderful and fulfilling Thanksgiving dinner here. As always the staff at Buckley's Restaurant and Catering are very accommodating. Thank you for all your hospitality and we will absolutely patronize your establishment again for holidays or anytime. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wacky Watermelon Delicious 😋“

“Fabulous Thanksgiving experience. Our party included a person who uses a wheelchair, and everyone at Chadwick’s could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Truly exceptional.“

“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.“

“Great meal and great service in their lovely outdoor garden.“

“Excellent service and great food.“

“The food here is amazing! Great flavors and fresh ingredients.

We ordered the broccoli tacos, the chopped salad, and shared the burger. Everything was delicious! The burger is so good, very simple, but you can tell they use good quality meat. The salad was fresh and had great acidity to it. The tacos were crunchy with great mouthfeel and were absolutely yummy.

My only gripe was with the service! It was horrible. The hostess/waitress was rude as soon as we stepped through the door. I had to flag down staff each time we needed something. When it came to the bill, I had to get up and ask the bartender for the bill. Inexcusable, especially since the food is not cheap at all.

Will come back with lower expectations for service.“

“A place that we’ve always wanted to go. The whole experience was great. The interior and menu is so back in 80s and 90s. We had a quick breakfast and absolutely loved it. The staff there were super nice. This will be a great place for regulars to walk in and sit at the bar. Will come back!“

“Best Babka by far in Brooklyn! I’ve had them all, and Yard Sale truly rises above the rest. It’s hard to find this quality level anymore. Is so far superior to what you’d find at Zabars. A wonderful neighborhood treasure. Go! You won’t be sorry.“

“Don’t sleep on this hidden gem. As inviting as a candlelit hush and nestled in an unexpected corner, Brooklyn’s Winona hums with quiet resonance—the perfect setting for whispered conversations, a slow-burning date night, or an intimate dinner with a dear friend.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fun casual spot to grab a bite before heading to a Nets or Liberty game! The chicken was my favorite! It was so flavorful and the spicy level was perfect for me. It was just enough to kick but not overwhelming the flavour. The sides are fantastic too.“

“Always have a good meal at Juniors. Nice and relaxing atmosphere, with a courteous staff. Leaving I make sure to pick up their delicious strawberry cheesecake to take home and enjoy later.👍“

“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!“

“Best burgers in Brooklyn.“

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

“I’m a server at a restaurant in Prospect Heights. My guests have been talking about Hart’s every time I make a wine recommendation or ask them where they like to go. 7 months after first hearing about Hart’s, I was able to go on a night off. Not gonna lie, the service was impeccable; friendly; open concept kitchen and kindness. Elan was immediately approachable and the whole team took care of us immediately. We will definitely be coming back - and I’ll be sending my partner with his friends since he doesn’t have an industry job.“

“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)“

“The best breakfast. Today had the matza ball soup and a corn muffin absolutely delicious. Soup came hot and the muffin was so fresh. The staff and owners are warm and welcoming.“

“Had an amazing experience! They are so accommodating and friendly! I can’t wait to go back ! Demmoy was amazing and so welcoming! One of the best experiences Iv had!“

“It’s surprising that this small restaurant holds both the James Beard Award for Best Chef in New York and a Michelin One Star.

The bar seats are nice because you can watch the chefs at work, but it’s very dimly lit, so a table might be a better choice.

Even though the head chef has changed, it seems the dishes now have richer flavors, perhaps due to the added South American influences.

This was one of the finest restaurants I’ve ever visited, and even the desserts were fantastic.“

“Prix fixe $75 pp ($60 on Tuesdays). All four courses were creative and delicious. Wines by the glass were nice. Portion size of the vegetarian entree option (gnocchi) felt a bit small compared to the roast chicken. Charming room, very kind service. 20% autograt applied to all checks. I'll be back.“
