    Duck Fat French Fries
    Ashley C.

    Amazing food ! I tried the duck bacon fries at the union square market and fell in LOVE ! The service was fast and the lady was able to explain how the fires were different . The ambience was amazing ! People were lined up and talking about the fries looks great. People passing by would comment on the delicious smell. There ate little high tables right next to the booth so that you can enjoy the food .

    Season Poutine
    Cynthia L.

    What the actual Duck; I found a place that serves a great duck poutine outside of Canada! Duck Season can be found in 3 locations during Smorgasburg: Prospect Park (where I went), Jersey City, and the WTC, running from April to October on certain days. I ordered the Season Poutine: Duck fat fries + duck confit + fresh cheese curds + duck gravy. It was $17 and hoped it was going to be worth it. Folks, this did not disappoint. They're 100% legit. First, the serving was ENORMOUS. On my best eating day, I would not be able to finish it by myself. The fries were perfectly double-fried, a combo of slightly oily yet crispy that is on-point for these style of fries. (Think: a little softer than Belgian frites.) I like me some salty poutine and this was perfect. Others may find it too salty for their liking. They're SUPER-generous with the curds and gravy. (The gravy isn't a full demi-glace but way more like a demi-glace than a traditional flour-heavy gravy.) Check them out! At Smorgasburg or their location in Williamsburg

    Grabbed some poutine to go from Smorgasburg and man this stand knocks it out of the park every time. I'd been struggling to find a consistent poutine place, but this is hands down my favorite. Generous portions, so worth sharing as well.

    Ordered the duck fat fries which was probably the most expensive order of fries I've ever had, although to be fair it was quite large. Sadly, I think the fat was used for too many batches that it had lost it's flavor.

    Double burger

    Been coming here for a couple of years at both their Prospect Park and Williamsburg location. One of the the best, juiciest burgers I have had, you can't go wrong with a double burger that is cooked in duck fat be sure to get the add on of cheese & duck bacon. Yum

    I love this place. Very good food and you get a good amount for what you will pay. The best item to get from this eatery is the duck fries. Extremely tasty and very good fries in general. These fries have a taste that cant be beat. Highly recommend going here and must order the duck fries. Delicious!

    Love duck. Love it in every way. Wish the sandwich had more duck flavor. Also wish the duck meat was a bit more juicy. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I'll come back and try other items in the future.

    Montreal poutine
    Steph C.

    Once you have had poutine from Canada, nothing else will do, it seems. Even for a place that boasts a menu of delicious duck items. I got a Montreal poutine and now I know better. The portion was huge, but it was unfortunately quite underwhelming. Fries were dry and hard. They tasted like they had been through the fryer twice, or maybe 3 or 4 times. Also were salted to high heaven. Which made it nearly impossible to taste the bland watery gravy, which was completely undiscernible on the fries, save for the puddle at the bottom. Cheese curds were not squeaky, but I'll let that one go, since none of the poutines I've had in NY ever got that part right. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the duck items are the way to go here, but it's a hard pass on the "Montreal poutine".

    Duck season had a fairly long line at the new Smorgasburg on Canal. We decided to give it a try. $12 for the Brooklyn poutine (duck bacon with sauce over fries). They forgot our order, or gave it away to someone else, I don't know. We were waiting ~15 minutes until a man (who I think was the manager) noticed and told the staff to get our order ready. They forgot AGAIN. After watching everyone get their orders in a matter of minutes/seconds, we mentioned that we had been waiting for an unreasonably long time. We quickly got our food. It was just okay. Glorified French fries at the end of the day. I'll skip it next time I visit Smorgasburg

    amazing poutine
    Casey S.

    We stumbled upon this place as we were wandering around Smorgasburg and it was absolutely the best food find of the whole day. I'm a huge fan of loaded fries, and the poutine I got from here is still to date the best I've ever had! The fries were perfectly salty, the cheese curds huge and plentiful, and the gravy just delicious. The price was very reasonable for the huge portion given. This was the best street food I had during my visit to NYC. Definitely better than any hot dog or pretzel you could ever get!

    Quick recap: this is a review of one of their posts, in particular at Bryant Park. Delicious. The burger was on the the few burgers I bit into and said "damn ... let me get another bite". The bun is light toasted in what I assume is duck fat and my God. It's delicious. The wings are also delicious, but nothing stood out that made them 10x better than others. I will say tho they had a nice crisp to them but way too much sauce. While I appreciate a wet wing, mine just happened to be drenched more than I have ever seen in the past so this might be a positive for some readers. Again, taste was great. Definitely recommend checking out. I'm still thinking about that burger

    Brooklyn poutine and Season Sandwich
    Henry M.

    Tried Duck Season at Bryant Park Holiday Shops (it's actually at The Lodge). A bit of a pricey option, but one of the more creative eats at The Lodge. Had the Brooklyn Poutine, which is a poutine with cheese sauce, duck gravy, and duck bacon. At $14, it's a bit pricey, but it was a large serving and tasted pretty good. The duck bacon was an interesting flavor. I wish it was a bit more smokey or that they had put it on the griddle to get some color on it, but it was decent the way it was. Instead of the cheese sauce, I would have preferred normal cheese curds. The duck gravy, however, was the star that brought the dish together. The fries were fried in duck fat and were delicious. It was a very heavy side dish, but I expected that going in. I do wish they had put something acidic on top to balance it out a bit. Some pickled onions or something would have gone a long way. Also had the Season Sandwich, which is a duck confit sandwich. Didn't really like the brioche bun as it ate a bit dry. The duck confit seemed a bit dry as well, so the whole sandwich just felt dry. There definitely was not enough sauce. Here, though, I appreciated the addition of crispy fried onions as well as a pickled onion. That added a whole other dimension to the burger. For $14, I don't think I'd order this again. I'm glad I tried this place and the food was okay, but I'm not sure I'd return. It didn't really wow me. Should have had a Chimney Cake at The Stackery instead.

    AMAZING FRIES! everything else looked and smelled amazing too. The duck gravy was really good but honestly the duck fat mayo was out of this world. The people I was with, who usually hate mayo, loved the duck mayo. The seasoning was awesome.

They were able to accommodate which was great. They gave us a table that was big enough to fit the group too. We were seated upstairs and there was a large private event happening. It was pretty loud for the first hour or two, but it quieted down after a few hours once the group left. One thing that kept frustrating me during the Knicks game was the sound. They had the sound on, but kept switching between game audio and music. Commit to a sound! We visited during happy hour so we got a few drinks. I ordered the summer sangria and I enjoyed it. Foodwise it was a bit of a hit or miss. I ordered the turkey burger that came with fries and didn't like it. The arugula and jam combo was a miss. I'd skip it next time. My friends ordered the fried risotto ball and avocado hummus both were interesting. The hummus had a bit of a kick. Combination wasnt anything that I ever had before. Overall a mixed experience. Good service and I liked where they sat us. The atmosphere and some of the food items could be improved upon.

Did an earlier dinner on a Saturday with a friend at the bar. We got some similar items, some different. The thing I kept the same was my martinis and all three (sour cream and onion, tomato, and espresso) were just as amazing as ever. Food-wise, I stuck mainly to the classics with one new dish: - Pizza rolls: Very good but 3 pizza rolls for $20 felt small to me. I feel like I remember seeing others served more when I've gone in the past, but not completely sure. They're nostalgic and fun, nothing to die for. - Fries: Great as ever, we opted for just one of the sauces (avocado dill). - French Dip: This used to be cut in 3 pieces and now it's 2. Works well with a duo but I do think it's actually a little smaller now than before when I compare photos. - Samoa sundae: Still amazing, still so so worth. It was fun going with a friend who hadn't been before and seeing the joy upon trying the dish! Bar service is friendly as always and they do a decent job moving you along to ensure the necessary turnover without feeling too rushed.

    Disclosure: My rating is based on the walk-in experience. The Corner Store doesn't offer…read morereservations for solo diners, reservations are notoriously difficult to get, and I waited about three hours in line for a seat. The Corner Store delivers genuinely excellent food at prices that feel refreshingly reasonable for New York City. My biggest criticism is that the restaurant can be overly particular about things that don't meaningfully improve hospitality or the guest experience. For example, I wasn't allowed to order a salad to go because of presentation standards and instead had to order it for dine-in before having it boxed up. The same mentality seemed to apply to the matchbooks, which were treated like prized collectibles despite being fairly standard restaurant matchbooks. The service was attentive and professional throughout, but great hospitality should make things easier for guests, not ask guests to accommodate the restaurant's preferences. One thing prospective walk-ins should know is that there is a significant difference between the walk-in and reservation experiences. Walk-ins are seated in the front bar area, which was much brighter and less moody than the spaces that made the restaurant famous online. The main dining room looked considerably more atmospheric and visually impressive, while the bar felt more like a standard upscale restaurant bar. After waiting three hours, it was hard not to feel like I was getting a different version of the experience than the one most people see on social media. The food was very good, but not so unique that it justified all the fuss. I'd rate it an 8/10 with a reservation and closer to a 6/10 as a walk-in.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.
