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🥳“

“great location good pub food music on the weekends“

“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!!!“

“Excellent food across the board—from the burger to the risotto, you truly can’t go wrong with any dish. We dined at Swoony’s for the first time on the recommendation of dear friends, and the food absolutely delivered. Hats off to the chef.

For starters, I highly recommend the lobster orzo and grilled prawns. As for mains, the burger, hanger steak, and butternut squash risotto were all outstanding. The cocktails were equally delicious.

The ambiance is great, though it does get a bit noisy, and the place was completely full. Service was attentive and seamless throughout. Dare I say I’ve found a new neighborhood favorite? It was that good.“

“Trying to keep this place a hidden gem, because there is too much traffic in the rock already. However! Margie's has one of THE best burgers I have ever had in my entire life and that says a lot because I consider myself a sandwich/burger connoisseur. It's so simple and I believe that's what makes the burger shine. Paired with the atmosphere and the beach town vibes, it's hard for me to go anywhere else when I'm in need of a good burger. The other things I've tried on the menu didn't disappoint but I showed up for a burger and it stole the show for me. My compliments to the chef or recipe creator...whomever.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“We chose Arden for a simple NYE dinner and we're pleasantly surprised that it was much more than that. The oysters were mellow, but the bass ceviche with nuclear cham is required as is the polenta. The Coquito was anglacized. I enjoyed the filet with snow crab Oscar, but the Octopus was the stand out (they know their seafood). See you all soon.“

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

“This was literally our first dinner in country following a trip to Tuscany. We didn’t expect to continue our streak of outstanding food, but we did, it’s that good. Every item ordered was first rate.“

“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 👌🏼👍🏼🥰“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We were not rushed and the waitress was very polite and we had to wait for her to free up to request a few things: like ketchup and the calamari was good, not the best and not the worse I ever had. It was a nice dinner. My wife had the black rice and mushroom with an egg. She liked it, again good food.“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“

“If I could give 20 stars I would. Great place to go with friends for top tier food and amazing service. Fantastic tacos, burgers, drinks, and the service is unmatched! Our server, Ellie was awesome, so attentive and helpful! I’m telling everyone about this place!! I can’t wait to come back!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The only thing I wish I knew before coming to Luana’s Tavern is that I should’ve fasted for a few days, because you’re going to want everything on the menu.

The wings are my favorite, no question. The smash burger on a lettuce bun is my go-to, but honestly I’d give up an organ for the short rib tacos.

The service is always so warm and welcoming, and the whole place just has that cozy, home feel. I also love seeing families here, parents actually getting to actually relax while their kids are safe and contained. It’s just really thoughtfully done, especially for NYC.“

“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“

“Hart's has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. I arrived right at opening (5:30pm) and was seated at the bar immediately. It's super convenient if you're coming off the A/C. The playlist was great and the vibe was calm and unhurried.

The food is where Hart's really shines. The roast oysters with vermouth butter and horseradish were the standout of the night, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of kick. The savoy cabbage with serrano ham and borlotti beans was homey and comforting. The clam toast with pancetta was deeply savory and something I'd come back for on its own. The seafood rice was the one dish that didn't quite land for me. Not bad, just the least memorable of the bunch.

Highly recommend“

“Incoyable! Delicious! Brisket fantastic!“

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

“Service is always great. But the quality of the veggie burger has gone downhill :( They use a different type of veg patty now that isn't as tasty. And always seems to be very overcooked or undercooked to the point that it's inedible. I really hope they bring back the old ingredients because it used to be my fav dish to order!“

“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.“

“We came here for breakfast and absolutely loved it. The veggie omelette and strawberry pancakes were delicious, the portions were very generous, and the prices were fair. The owners and servers were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back! 😊🥞🫶🏼“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 !!!!“

“The food was great as well as the beer“

“Excellent caff - omelette, pancakes and hash browns were anong the best we have ever had. Staff welcoming and attentive, lovely building full of historic charm including newspaper clippings from over the years. One of the highlights of our trip to New York!“

“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!“

“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!🥂🥰“

“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“

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

“food was great and service was awesome. we had to wait for a little while but it was worth it.“

“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’ve been coming here for years and they’ve always taken great care of me. This diner truly feels like home. The staff is amazing — friendly, welcoming, and consistent every single time. And the waiter? Hands down the best around. Attentive, respectful, and always makes sure everything is perfect.

If you’re not from the neighborhood and need a solid place to eat, this is it. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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!“

“cozy place with really nice food.“
