    bacon egg cheeseburger
    Peter H.

    A fine, surprisingly refreshing burger meal with friendly service in a small neighborhood setting. We were attracted by Yelp reviews and were pleased by the balanced verdant burgers. My $13.75 bacon egg burger had a 6 oz patty enveloped in melted cheese, two strips of crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg with liquid gold yolk, and with fresh fix-ins like a red cabbage slaw, lettuce doused in "house sauce," and tomato, all in something like a Martin's potato bun (may have actually been Martin's). The $10.25 veggie burger had a pillowy texture but a nice flavor. Distinct peas were present. The $5.75 prickly pear lemonade was refreshing.

    Im 5 feet 2 inches for reference. I have tiny hands. For $14/15 this burger was so small.

    Waste of money. Burger looked as sad as it tasted. Soooooooo disappointed. I called to let them know my burger was missing ingredients and was ridiculously small for the price. They didn't seem to care at all. The only saving grace were the decent fries. I paid almost $25 for that burger and fries. Definitely not worth it. SAVE YOUR MONEY. Either the quality decreased or the reviews are all

    I love the decor, the graphics and cool SpongeBob band drawn pictures up and around this tiny spot in park slope. The food choices were cool and I loved the rock star themed dishes that was neat. It was a weekday afternoon so crowd was thin which is good because it's only one dining table inside. I didn't wait long for my food which was served fresh and hot!! I also got a shake not pictured which was delicious I had to give four stars because after one bite the burger was literally falling apart in my hands which was messy!!! Nice spot to drop in if you live in the neighborhood

    This is a nice local hole in the wall - good food, good vibes, and even sweeter service. The place is run by a sweet and accommodating lady who makes a really fking good simple fried chicken sandwich. Warm and soft buttered potato bun, perfectly fried and heated chicken, and a nice coleslaw, nothing else you want to ask for. Her service and care extends beyond the dish and she made me feel so at home. If you're looking for a comforting sandwich with comforting and awesome vibes, please come swing by. 4* for food, 5* for vibes.

    Pulled Pork Sliders
    Olivia C.

    Ordered delivery and it was so fast! I've been here several times over the years and the first time I went was phenomenal. Within the last year, it was ok but it's picking back up! The pulled pork burgers are my go tos, they're moist and savory and flavorful. The jalapeño poppers are soo crispy and done so perfectly. The layer of dough is not too thick and it has a good balance of cheese and Mac. The cole slaw is ok - on the underwhelming side but not bad. But nothing special about it. It's a good balance between the heavier things though. Overall, it's a good find for comfort food. I'm a big fan of their police box door, being a fan of the Doctor!

    Tater tots.
    Michael H.

    The decor in this joint is pretty great with its cool mural, and it's a good location. However, the vegan Impossible burger was pretty lackluster, and had to be ordered without cheese? Now that I look more closely at the menu I wonder if the "house sauce" was vegan. I asked the cashier what my vegan options were and she recommended this burger. Maybe it was vegan cheese and I should have left it on, or maybe the house sauce isn't vegan? Hard to tell. I should have asked more questions, because she was not offering up much info on her own. Tater Tots we solid though. The tables in the small dining area are not very functional with large gaps between the slats of wood. I had to be careful how I set down my drink and the ketchup bottle each time so it wouldn't tip over. The animal based burgers look pretty solid, but as a vegan I will skip it.

    There are few things more delicious than fried chicken, in all shapes and forms, in all the ways it's permeated American comfort food. The buttermilk fried chicken burger from Gnarly Eats is a gift from the gods--tender and flavorful with the perfect combination of the house spicy mayo and pickled red cabbage and coleslaw to compliment the chicken. At first glance, the burger might seem small, but rest assured that this must've been a deliberate choice to protect customers' waist sizes... after all, it's more than filling (especially if you decide to get a side of their sweet potato fries!). Somehow, despite how many times I've had this sandwich, I've always managed to walk past Gnarly Eats on 7th Avenue. It's truly a hole-in-the-wall, though I can tell that the owner put thought into the decor (a TARDIS front door and Polaroids galore)? Modern Brooklyn at its finest. Open for delivery and takeout during the pandemic. Can't wait until I can eagerly scarf down their food in neighboring Prospect Park again.

    Came to Gnarly Eats with a friend after hanging out on a Sunday evening. It was a tiny restaurant but very cozy! My friend was in the mood for a burger and after checking it out on Google Maps, the 4.4/5 rating was enough to convince us it was worth a try. I ordered their Impossible Burger, my friend had the Classic Burger and then we split hand cut French fries. The total came up to $32, which was a bit pricey for a casual burger spot but we were in Park Slope so I knew what that would be the situation. The vibes were nice though so it was worth the money. The food was also delicious. I pretty much inhaled my burger (according to my friend, lol). I loved the Polaroids on the wall as well as the chalk drawing of SpongeBob and Patrick around the room. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quick bite in the neighborhood. Thanks for having us, Gnarly Eats! I hope y'all offer us the opportunity to have our pic posted on the wall next time :)

    After a long walk around prospect park. We stopped for a new experience at this establishment.

    I got to visit tonight after a random pick with my little ones. Even though o had to leave in a hurry, I enjoyed what I did get to experience. The fries and onions rings were a classic version. I appreciated the different condiment available for the customers to use. I didn't get to eat my burger but my god daughter did. And she said the burger was so good. So I'll take her word for it. I'll do an update after I get to eat my food. But for now I appreciate the freshness of the food that came out pretty fast. The decor was cute and quaint. My only negative thing I have to say is that they didn't have a bathroom. Which is why I had to leave early due to one of the children. Other than that it was kool. Hope to visit again and actually enjoy my food there.

    Classic Burger and an Impossible burger with some fries
    Khaleel W.

    After all that Thanksgiving food I was in the mood for a burger. I'm not from Bk so my friend found this spot. It had good reviews so we popped in. The place is small but welcoming. They had really photos of past guests on the wall and a nice SpongeBob and Patrick drawing. Ordering was quick and easy. We sat down and devoured our food. The fries were perfect, well seasoned too. I would definitely go back and I recommend it to anyone looking for some good eats.

    Loaded Kitchen Sink Fries

    This is the best place I have ever been to. If you're around here definitely go. I got the Grateful Dead burger "gnarly burger" and it was cooked PERFECTLY. Medium well. Then we both got strawberry milkshakes and the kitchen sink fries with no spicy. And wow. Like wow. This was the best meal I have ever eaten.

    Classic burger and beer battered onion rings
    Janet Y.

    I've been hearing and reading great reviews about this place so I decided to give it try. Plus, I was craving a burger so... I ordered the classic burger and a side of beer battered onion rings to go. The classic burger consists of 6 oz. Angus beef patty with American cheese, caramelized onions, red leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled red cabbage and house sauce on a soft airy potato bun. FULL DISCLAIMER: I ordered there and waited for my food. The minute he gave me my food, I actually took the food out to set up a food shot. (don't judge me) I immediately felt the burger was wet and greasy. The onion rings were hot AF but super crispy. (Yes, I ate one and burn my mouth). Once I was done taking a few food pics, I packed everything up and walked a few blocks home. Once I got home to eat, the burger was a soggy mess. The onion rings were still crunchy and hot. Clearly, the burger does not travel well but to be fair it was already wet to begin with. Overall, the burger was ok despite the soggy mess. The meat itself needed a little more flavor or even a pinch of salt would do. The onion rings were meaty and delicious. This place definitely has potentials and has other menu items that are worth a try. I would give it a second chance... but maybe just not the burger.

    Not an Impressive Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Kern C.

    This is a rounded up rating . Gnarly scores well on pricing , being a byob and portion size . Taste wise it is anything but almost perfect which is what it's rated on yelp. My review is based on their fried chicken sandwich and their Brisket sliders , both seemingly popular choices . The chicken sandwich - Massive pieces of lightly breaded chicken seasoned well but not quite as juicy as I'm used to . The chipotle sauce was an absolute mess dripping out the sandwich on every bite and did little to add any flavor to the sandwich.The bun was not toasted and again didn't help the sandwich . A thicker less watered down sauce ,juicier chicken and more slaw would have made this sandwich alot better. Overall I'd rate the sandwich 3.5/5. The Brisket slider was again generously portioned with heaping amounts of brisket in two good sized slider buns. The brisket was drenched in a too sweet somewhat honey ish sauce that was yuck ! The brisket itself was not melt in your mouth quality and took a lot of chewing to break down . A simpler sandwich with wonder bread and better brisket would have done the trick way better. Gnarly has a lot of potential but it's not a place I can say I'd surely visit again . I rounded up because the lady manning the restaurant was extremely kind and outgoing and made my meal a little more enjoyable than it should have been .

Both restaurants have been in business for well over half a century with well-deserved accolades. Despite having grown up in Brooklyn, I hadn't been to either before this year. I read reviews and actually asked ChatGPT what to order at R-N-R. We went with its suggestion: medium roast beef with cheese, onion rings, root beer and lemonade. My sandwich was more well-done than requested. They don't offer 'rare'. The few bites with red meat were infinitely better than the rest of the sandwich. The roll, as everyone points out, is baked in house. Though light and puffy, it didn't outweigh overdone beef. Onion rings were great, root beer average, and lemonade -- per my husband who loves lemonade -- excellent. While I wouldn't balk about returning, my vote goes to Brennan and Carr, though truly, when cooked as requested there is no substantial difference. If you take the train, get off at Sheepshead Bay Road and head south. Turn left at Emmons Avenue and keep walking. Twenty minutes all told.

The bun is soft and sweet and the burger has a good amount of sautéed mushrooms. Truffle Parmesan fries were pretty standard, but still very good. Yuzu honey lemonade has bits of citrus at the bottom of the drink and it was refreshing. I saved the chicken bites hours later and it was still pretty crispy after being microwave.

Luckily, I was by myself, which gave me some wiggle room to grab a seat at the bar.

I already knew I wanted the double cheeseburger with bacon and egg, so it didn't take me long to place my order. I definitely enjoyed sitting at the bar because the restaurant has an open-kitchen concept. You can watch the chefs prepare the food, which is always enjoyable for me. The burger itself was definitely an experience! It was beautifully presented, and everything was cooked to perfection. Honorable mention goes to the pepper on the thick-cut bacon- it added a nice savory kick to the burger. I had really been looking forward to trying it because I recently passed by Au Cheval in Chicago, but the wait was extremely long, so I didn't get the chance to go. This burger was definitely good. It's not at the top of my list, but it was worth the experience. I must say, it's also extremely high-end price-wise. For just the burger with bacon and egg, plus tax and tip, I paid about $47. Again, it was a treat, but not necessarily one I'd order again. I'd love to try some of the city's other standout burgers before returning for this one. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Would I return? Sure, but I would probably try something other than the burger next time.
