This place is a scam. Got a chai latte for 6$ which was not good at all, the female waitress was very rude and was only going to leave a 1$ tip because I believe in tipping they added at 18% tip to my bill already which made my 6$ crappy latte come out to 8$ total. Beyond upset with this place. read more

Can't give more. Service is meh! It's more like hurry up and order don't have time for questions! Just letting you know. If you want it they are out if it. So pick something else. I asked our waitor what do you have to drink. It's there, is what is said. Then blurted out the drinks. I know they are new. But polish up your service. The food, the same I can't say I enjoyed it. My husband and I ordered the Salmon BLT. They forgot to include the Salmon I think. We spent another 20 min waiting for a piece of fish. The restaurant is runner by a bunch of incapable staff. Just go elsewhere. It's not worth the wait or torture! read more

This new neighborhood spot is awesome...great location right at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, nice menu of comfort food, and incredibly friendly service. I think this will be my new go-to! read more

Came into Brooklyn in the early morning around 7am for a business conference and had breakfast. A lot of great dinner reviews, but I didn't see much about breakfast so I gave it a try. What a cozy corner spot! The Southern Skillet was packed with flavor and they make great cappuccinos! The spice of the sausage in combination with little mini quesadillas along with the typical potatoes and eggs really made the dish. Great service and presentation of food as well. The server was very kind and engaged with me in conversation about my morning and travel. She even went out of her way to bring over some spicy sauces in case I wanted more heat in the flavor. Easy walking distance from Marriott Brooklyn Bridge and relatively close to Downtown Manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try out dinner. Great experience and I totally recommend. read more

Don't enter this place it unbelievable expansive, bad and very slow service and low quality food! We ordered cup of tea with a cheesecake, it took ages to arrive (35 min.) we attend the waiters several times, however every time we try to get a response if we had a luck we got an unprofessional answer, a long while after we ordered it arrived, heavy, simple supermarket cheesecake the bad part was the unbelievable price of $12.50 for one slice of cheesecake! Rape! Be aware! Don't enter this place!!! read more

A group of eight of us stopped in for Sunday brunch. It was a nightmare! We were seated quickly and courteously and the place had great ambience. Full stop. The train promptly went off the tracks. We were given lunch menus even though lunch was not being served, which we learned when we asked if we could still order breakfast. Elapsed time to get the correct menus? About 10 minutes. It took another 10 minutes to catch our waitress to put our order in, which included coffees of course. We sat there for another 10 to 15 minutes for the coffee to arrive. We had been there about a half an hour. Food started to arrive in another 10 minutes or so, but only for 3 of us. Another 2 meals arrived about 10 minutes later, one of which was wrong. By the time we all had meals we were almost an hour in. Three of four egg skillet dishes were served cold. A family that arrived just after us walked out after ordering and receiving nothing after 20 minutes. We asked to speak with the manager. She apologized noting they had only been open a week and were working out the bugs. So, apparently, that's my problem. I would not open if I was this "not ready"! We were given a discount on our meal, but it should have been comped! read more

We stopped in here after having 4 starving kids as a need for food ! The menu has many choices for picky eaters and are accommodating for food allergies . I had the Greek salad which was very delicious , the kids ordered wings and Mac n cheese which were equally as delicious . Quick service and pleasant employees and reasonably priced ! Great place . read more

Love this place! The michelada drink is great, has a nice kick to it. The seared branzino has an amazingly crispy skin and melts in your mouth. read more

I should put $$$ but not so delicious food, good, everything is spicy (not much) but they don't warn about it.......ice creams too expensive for what they are. Thank God this was the only one time in my life. I just rescue a good attention from waitress. read more

I've gone to Brooklyn Bistro many times before. My boyfriend has honestly never liked Brooklyn Bistro or the servers that are employed there. It's been evident to him for a while, they hate their jobs. I, on the other hand felt like everyone had their days. Fast forward to today. I had a dear friend of mine come to visit me with her children and told her about this cute little spot where we could grab a little brunch. We were all excited. We walked in and it looked a little decent but there was a FREE table for 6 right in the window. Our children went to the table and the hostess walks up to us hands out and said "we're not seating anyone right now" I looked around and saw that there weren't many tables full but figured maybe due to covid, the protocols had changed, fine. I replied and asked "so, about how long" she said "i have no idea". Even the highest level of dining in the city, has at least a time limit to be told about. The people gave nothing but dirty looks and disrespectful attitude. The micro aggressions are huge and I know a racist establishment when I see it. The way they looked at us, the way we were treated was disgusting. This is a very tumultuous time for everyone and being kind, respectful and not racist isn't hard. To give your money to place that has no sort of genuine care for children or their guests of other complexions is what I won't ever do. If you have happy children or are a person of color expect nasty looks and no idea when a table will be ready for you. read more

It's really a diner more than a bistro (it even says so on the check you get at the end of the meal...), but it's in our neighborhood, and you can go down for brunch, lunch, dinner, or just a cup of coffee. Or a glass of wine, later in the day (then again, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world, right now!). Not as much of a destination as places in nearby DUMBO or Brooklyn Heights, but a welcome oasis in the City Tech area. read more

Not only was this place extremely overpriced, but the wait staff was unnecessarily rude and unfriendly. I paid $14 for a kale Caesar salad that was small in portion and rather bland. I was also charged $4 for a coke. Overall, I am disappointed and unsatisfied with my experience here. read more

5.0 star Awesome place ! Good staff! Delicious food ! Especially black bean burger with side salad! Atmosphere in this restaurant is so good as well!! They have unique decoration !!! Love it !!! And waitress Hana was so cheerful !!! Thank you for great service ))) read more

I asked for a medium rare burger and that is what i got The bacon in the burger was hard as a rock and the fries were not good. How can you mess up on french fries.... read more

Brooklyn Bridge Bistro - Bb burger - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The margherita pizza and truffle parmesan fries were really good. Pizza was light.. perfect for a snack. Servers were attentive and really nice. A great stop before going to the promenade. read more

Very nice breakfast. This is the closest breakfast to the Tillary hotel and on the way to Borough Hall. So, we would have been happy with less just for the convenience. Staff was efficient and friendly. The eggs were good, and when I asked them to butter the toast in the kitchen immediately after it came out of the toaster, they did. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in this little bistro after riding a bike across the Brooklyn Bridge. The latte was the best I've had so far! I made sure to tell the barista what a wonderful job she did on it! I hope to come back for another :) read more

Appalling. From dirty floors, to indifferent service, to barely mediocre food, this restaurant deserves to be replaced by an owner who actually wants to be in the restaurant biz. read more

I've been here twice. The first time I had breakfast: an omelette, home fries, toast, and coffee. The omelette and home fries were standard, the toast tasted like it was stale bread that had been toasted, and the coffee was...strange. $5 for a normal cup of coffee and no matter how much milk I added, it didn't get any lighter in color. I've never experienced anything like it. The second time I went, I had lunch: a smoked mozzarella sandwich and French fries. Overall, it was okay, however the cheese was just sliced cheese where I was expecting something more. The bread was just ok. The fries were standard. I want to like this place because I live in the area and there's not much else so close by. The waitstaff is friendly but doesn't really seem to "get it". It seems like they've had little training and are just winging it. I'm hoping that someone from the establishment reads this review and can implement some changes. I'd really love them to turn this around into a place I can frequent often. read more

I have to say this Bistro is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while where every dish is just as amazing as the other. Ive tried many different items on this menu, since now I am a regular customer and I will say the cook never cease to amaze me. If you're visiting NY and you want to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge stop here for brunch lunch or dinner on your way back. You'll be happy you read this review read more

Friendly service, VERY good burger, excellent dessert, and good options for vegetarians and allergies. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the prices. read more

If you're looking for a cute spot with great pizza, this is the one. Absolutely delicious and I'm in love with the way they serve the food! The potatoes come out in a mini fry pan net! Prices are also fair, would definitely recommend for a quick and fresh meal read more

I had a court hearing in that area and I got 1 hour break. My stomach was louder than my brain. I decided to check out this place. OMG! The salmon that I had was out of control. The best one in my life (keep in mind I'm not even a fan of sandwiches ). The staff is very friendly. I even made some friends there. Thank you Hannah, Nazario, Oskar, Aziz, Omar, Ali, Naima, Frank, Carlos, Brittany, Denis and Eddie ;) ! Keep it up. You guys deserve it! read more

Finally, a quality restaurant in my neighborhood. Cheerful service and a discount for Concord Village residents. Perfect location to start or finish your walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. I plan to be a regular for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. read more

Crowd got away from the staff. Poor service, sat for over an hour and still no food. Sad

EXTREMELY horrible customer service and unnecessary policies on bathroom and card use. It was an unfriendly and uncomfortable environment (there was probably no air conditioner at all). Extremely overpriced food that is mediocre and pointless. Don't eat there. If I could give it 0 stars I would. 0/10 read more

Keep walking... The food may be fine but the coffee aint worth it...the cappuccino was bigger than the latte and thats unlawful! read more

Came on a sunday night so there weren't too many people. Saw the 3 star review and took a chance, really great food! The sandwhiches definitely filled me up and the Manhattan truffle was pretty good too. Great service as well! Deserves to be higher rated. Sean was a great server! read more

Good food! The spinach salad is wonderful and the dessert - the chocolate mousse cake, which tastes so good like in heaven!

The service was great but my rating is based solely off of the food. I ordered a sirloin sandwich. The steak was dry, very overcooked and they added a lot of brie cheese to the sandwich, making it almost too strongly flavored to eat. read more

God this place is awful! From the shitty service of a lousey rude host and waiter to the the over priced meal with little portions that couldn't even make a mouse full! I asked for a refill on my drink and I got a straight up NO as he walked away! Waiter Leaning on the counter watching my water glass become empty was just rude ! Horrible ! Horrible ! Tourists and New Yorkers BEWARE!! read more

This restaurant is at a prime location right off the Brookyln Bridge on the corner of Tillary and Adams Streets. This place have a great atmosphere, with it's rustic look makes it feel so inviting, and with the Christmas tree up makes feel likehime. The food here is delicious as I had multiple dishes from their menu. The Salmon BLT is so light and delicate. The wait staff is so wonderful and polite. read more

The goal every trip is to try local places. This was not my first choice. However, it said they served breakfast and that's what I was looking for. Unfortunately, they were no longer serving that, but had some breakfast items. I ordered a hamburger well done. I had a hamburger medium raw.... I mean it was bleeding on my plate! My mom and sister ordered the grits and it was the most disgusting thing ever. My friends ordered salad and they mixed it up. They automatically put a 18% gratuity regardless of your party size and they make sure they provide crappy service because they know people have no choice after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. read more

Absolutely terrible. The service was awful, one waiter serving a FULL restaurant, The fries were cold and overpriced, and the drinks were $4 and I couldn't even get a free refill. Completely ridiculous, and I will never be going back again. read more

Brooklyn Bistro & Winebar is a fabulous newish, Soho styled eatery where we had a perfectly balanced, delicious breakfast. Hanna, a 20 something partner works the room effortlessly serving diners up with good cheer, quick wit and a warm smile. We look forward to returning again soon. read more

Kind of pissed right now.. my friend had to use the restroom REALLY BADLY after walking the Brooklyn bridge, so we ran to the nearest restaurant possible. This place was completely empty, and we decided to order a drink so that my friend could use the restroom. When we ordered a Coke we said that's all we would like to get, and he looked at us weirdly and said "you're going to order food also... right?". We were basically forced to order a salad and when we paid he gave himself an 18% gratuity fee. There was literally two other guys in the restaurant that were only drinking beer and they weren't being bothered to order at all. THENNN another group of girls walked in and only bought a water bottle, and they weren't forced to give gratuity and used the restrooms as well then left. When we left the restaurant, they didn't even look at us. Rohan our waiter, check yourself before you wreck yourself. At least you let her pee. read more

I live in Concord Village and this is the closest place to eat so I'm in here a decent amount and the food is honestly fantastic, but what is going on with the service?? It's truly terrible. The decor and furniture is completely bizarre, there's basically no vibe, but based on its location I suppose, it survives. Like I said, the food is amazing so I hope they get it together. read more

I had the mac and 3 cheese, which was surprisingly good. Had the bb burger which was okay. Service was odd. Our food took forever to come out. read more

Brooklyn Bridge Bistro....is ultimately the WORST place I have eaten in for a very long time. This place deserves the most negative review possible. The "service" was non existent, unfriendly, bordering on rude. One was made to feel that just being there was an awful inconvenience to the 2 wait staff on duty. The cost of the food versus the quality was truly ridiculous. To get water at the table in itself was a mission. I have never encountered such unfriendly, condescending staff. 4 sandwiches, 1 plate of pasta, 1 bottle of $38 wine from Chile and two expressos came to $153.00 and THEY added a $38 tip making the entire bill $192.00. A TOTAL rip-off. I had made up my mind to add ZERO tip and when the bill came they had included it anyway, and then had the gall to leave place for additional tip on the credit card slip! AVOID this place if you enjoy excellent food and service. It is AWFUL. Worst restaurant experience I have had for a very very long time. read more

Terrible, unfriendly service. We won't be returning. We came in and ordered a coffee and then they tried to stop me from using the restroom. I get that they don't won't non-customers using the bathroom (which I generally disagree with as a policy), but being rude like that is uncalled for. And ... I was a customer. read more
