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🥳“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely adore Swoony’s. The place is charming and welcoming and the service is fantastic. Hands down one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC and a must try for any burger lovers. It really is uncanny (and delicious) how much the burger tastes like a grown up version of McDonalds. I will go back for it. The whipped goat cheese and wedge salad are fantastic. Don’t sleep on the dirty martini and ask for their blue cheese olives in it.“

“We had breakfast there the morning of 5/30/26 (we were attending a wedding). There was an older gentleman with an Irish accent who was very sweet & funny. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac's disease, so the staff made sure I was able to get something without getting sick. He said the chef wasn't sure about the mozzarella for my dish, but me & our server were quite sure it was safe. I was just happy to find something that was vegetarian & gluten free! He even came over & took my pulse LOL! Excellent food & staff!“

“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!“

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

“Went for a late brunch at Arden and really loved the atmosphere—it felt warm, busy, and well-loved in a way that makes you immediately relax. I kept ordering the Alien Superstar despite not being fully convinced by it, which honestly may say more about me than the drink. Maybe it was the celery? I wanted the cucumber moment to win so badly. Either way, I somehow finished every single one.“

“Great every time. Everything is beyond menu description.“

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

“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 !“

“Magnifique soirée lundi.... Tout est agréable... Ambiance chaleureuse décor....menu délicieux.....personnel.... Tout est beau et de bon goût....Josy excellente et les autres personnels également.... Vraiment j' adore ... J' espère revenir un jour 💕 Cathy de France 👌🏼👍🏼🥰“

“So far I’ve been there a few times, had the vegetarian version of the smash burger (Texas toast), tomato soup with grilled cheese, pancakes, and a few other things I can’t remember. Everything is always great, especially the smash burger.

A lot of vegetarian options and they’re all really good, from what I’ve had so far. I appreciate that. The vibe is cozy too.

I especially love that they allow you to buy one pancake because any more than that is always too much. And the pancake is great.“

“Food was great, atmosphere lovely, service perfect (and friendly!) A great experience I will repeat!“

“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.“

“Lets talk about it!!
I've been to all Peaches locations and today I've discovered something new about the Prime location. Service as usual is always amazing. Nahuel was our bartender and definitely serving with an amazing attitude although busy. Ilia was on tables and still stopped to speak to those in need.

Con: I ordered new items on the menu. Short ribs were clearly reheated and didnt taste fresh which was a disappointment. Cooking method matters with reheated food. So instead get the steak and eggs. Never steers you wrong.

Pro: Drink service will always be amazing as the drinks are consistent across all locations. Salmon cake is good. Depending on if you're a southerners or not.“

“Number 7 is exactly what you need in a relaxed neighborhood joint. No pretentions. Great cocktails and solid wine and beer options. A tasty burger and over-flowing plates of fries. And a long inviting bar with no TVs blaring away. The perfect place for a casual meal or a drink and good conversation. The only downside is it's only open Wednesday through Saturday.“

“Really good, i came and ordered 6 wings, unfortunately they weren't full wings but they were really tasty and had meat on them so i cant complain, probably the best wings i ever had. Highly recommend if you love wings. Also the cashier was kind enough to bring out the food to me while I was in my car, really appreciate that.“

“An Unforgettable Night at The Vaux Social!

From the moment we walked into The Vaux Social, we were greeted by a truly warm and cozy atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome, and it’s located in a wonderfully safe and clean neighborhood with easy street parking which is a huge bonus!

The culinary experience started strong with the appetizers. The mussels were absolutely delicious and the spinach dip was equally satisfying.

For our main courses, I chose the lobster risotto, which was everything it should be: rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked. My wife had the crispy chicken, which was incredibly juicy and flavorful, beautifully paired with the accompanying rice.

But the true star of the show was the toffee pudding. It was absolutely to die for! The pudding was so light and fluffy, and the warm vanilla ice cream melting on top was the perfect final touch.

The Vaux Social delivers on every front: fantastic food, exceptional dessert, and a wonderful, welcoming vibe. This is a must-visit!“

“The Pyramid ! I must say, our anniversary celebration was nothing short of spectacular! The concept, presentation, and flavors were all outstanding, and the luxurious products added a lovely touch. Thank you for making this day so special!🥂🥰“

“This place is amazinggggg!! Reminded me of my island home land. The food is to die for and the staff is smiley, kind and attentive. Def will be back when in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“The food and the presentations are wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful not only with the waiters, but the patrons as well, took someone there today and they are coming back. And they are bringing back a family member“

“The chicken and waffles were delicious. The tenders were a little smaller than expected, but it was the perfect amount, I didn’t even finish and was happy to take leftovers home because it was amazing. The tenders are well seasoned . The Mac and cheese was also really good.“

“Excellent brisket and mac and cheese. Great atmosphere and staff. Definitely will go back next time I’m in Brooklyn!“

“We ate here today. It was our first time. We loved the food and the atmosphere. It has an interesting history. Definitely worth the drive.“

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

“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“You have to try the Korean Fried Broccoli OMG! I’m a stickler for steak so I usually have the Steak and fried egg. If you like it rare like me just ask for it black n blue.“

“Grew up with one of the owners. He’s been passionate about cooking good food since his teen years. Fantastic food, fantastic restaurant staff, fantastic atmosphere. Proposed to my now wife at Peaches!“

“The food was great as well as the beer“

“Super cozy, lived-in spot with amazing vibes. I came with a group of five and we each ordered our own omelette, which was honestly too much food. Portions are generous and easily enough for 1 to 2 people unless you are starving.

We also got the cinnamon roll pancakes for the table and they were incredible, some of the best pancakes I have ever had. Perfectly fluffy, not overly sweet, and I would come back just for those alone.

Service was great. Jamal and another server were both super friendly and funny, and the food came out quickly. Definitely come early on weekends since it gets busy!“

“Luana’s Tavern is one of those places where you walk in planning to stay for one drink and somehow end up closing the place down. The atmosphere is so much fun, the staff makes you feel right at home, and you never want to leave. The drinks are always ice cold, and the food absolutely hits the spot every single time. Whether you're meeting friends or just looking for a great night out in Brooklyn, Luanas Tavern delivers. Can't wait to come back!“

“We hosted our engagement party here without ever stepping foot into the bar, and let’s just say we lucked out as it is one of the best bars in Brooklyn. They have gained a new wave of regular customers, as all of our family and friends were obsessed!“

“Staff is good and friendly.“

“absolutely brilliant place, Mike and all his staff are so welcoming and friendly. Food is superb and selection of drinks are second to none. The atmosphere is great and we had such a good time visiting“
