    SKINNY FRIES*
    Sabrina H.

    Walked in on a weekday and was seated right away. They have a lot of options to choose from like sandwiches, burgers, salads and soups. Ordered the hot chicken sandwich and small fries and both were delicious. The chicken was crispy and was dipped in a hot honey sauce. Extra tip Happy hour is 3-6 Monday to Friday and they offer a weekday pick 1/2 sandwich soup or salad for $16.

    Nachos w/ Beef Chili

    We stopped into Mekelburgs while exploring brooklyn. The vibes were great with the dim lighting and music. Everything was great until we received the check and there were some misunderstandings that management wasn't willing to budge on. For example, we asked for a side of soup but was charged the full price of one after it wasn't made clear that the soup doesn't come as a side. When ordering, be sure you're specific and ask about their pricing if you are wanting a side or extra of something. As for the food, I loved my nachos. The beef chili was great and the sauces on top were amazing. The one note I had was it could have been hotter. It seems room temp, or maybe like it was sitting for a minute before brought out.

    Food 10/10! Service 12/10! Atmosphere was a chill vibe, good music but it was coldddd in the seating area so leave on your coat. Good thing the food and vibes were enough to warm me up! Go here!!

    Super friendly spot - wings are actually amazing!! Burger was decent as well. Good place to wind down on a Sunday evening, and not too crowded

    This place is such a vibe honestly, basically anything you'd be craving is all in one menu. I happened to come during happy hour which is 3-6pm everyday, and that gets you $1.50 oysters (they're huge) and $6 pints. They also have this lunchtime meal deal where you can get two things for $16+. The porchetta sandwich and fried pickles were pretty good. Shoutout to the guy working the bar! He was super helpful in his recommendations!

    Once again I am in the restaurant as I leave a review. First let me say that The ambiance here is so soothing!! Maybe it's my Aries spirit! The red is comforting and I am so calm being here.. As I approached the bar area, Abigail greeted me in such a warm and friendly way..I would come back here just to be greeted again just like that!! Great woman, she knows what's she is doing. I ordered the double butter burger with onion rings and I was very happy with it..My drink was a hibiscus lemonade and it was so refreshing!!Oh and another shot out to Evelyn who brought me my drink. I had met her a few days ago and she was super. I've too! I bought a muffin then and this would be my second time here..My apologies for going so long winded, but it's so nice to feel so good instantly in a place so unique!!! I'll be back very soon!!! Great job everyone!!

    First time I tried this spot I was a bit underwhelmed. However, today turned it around! I stopped in for brunch and I was pleasantly surprised but the very easy going vibe, the energy of the super kind staff, and the wonderful food! Unique flavors and solid portions.

    Cajun curly fries
    Maria B.

    Best wings I've had!! I saw this spot on a list of places that have the best buffalo wings, and as a lover of wings-I knew I just had to try them here! I could tell from the photos that they were going to be delicious, and I gotta say that they definitely did not disappoint! I got an order of 4 buffalo wings and a side of Cajun curly fries. The wings were SO perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, which I felt just made them the absolute perfect combination! The wings were also very big, so 4 was the perfect amount for one person. I loved them so much though that I'm dreaming about having more! The place itself if very unassuming; the front of it is a marketplace and you have to walk through to get to mekelburgs which is basically just a very casual bar/restaurant. If I hadn't seen photos of the wings, I'm not sure if I would have gravitated towards this place as much. But I'm so glad I did! Service was good and my waitress was very nice. Overall great experience and would definitely come back for the wings!

    Twine in porchetta sandwich meat

    I feel like this could've been an off night but I'd be reluctant to go back to dine. I've stopped into Mekelburg's before to grab babka from the shop but had never dined at the restaurant before. Ordered beers and they took awhile to come. Eventually the food came and we still hadn't gotten our drinks so the server/bartender forgot and we had to ask for them again. Service was friendly but I think spread too thin. The appetizer sample was pretty decent. Wings and mozzarella sticks were yummy and there were plenty of fries. Unfortunately the prochetta sandwich was disappointing.. I found a piece of the butcher's twine in the meat toward the end of the meal. Meat was kinda dry and I felt could use some kind of dip but I did like the amount of meat, cheese and broccoli rabe. Would've said something but was in a rush to get to an event and just wanted to pay and go. Other things on the menu like the babka desserts sounded tasty but I would certainly be hesitant to return. Might just stick to the shop in front!

    I was strolling through Williamsburg with friends after leaving Domino Park, looking for a place to have a few drinks. We nearly bypassed Mekelburg's because it's designed like a grocery store at the entrance. We made our way inside and that's where the good times were. Mekelburg's is speakeasy-ish, (to me at least). The front gives cute organic grocery store. I really didn't expect the cool bar and vibes situation that we ended up getting into once we walked further inside. Servers and bartenders here are super cool and laid back. There was five of us. We were told to seat ourselves. Cool. After finding cozy, corner seats we ordered Frosé's. They were frosty and delish with a nice, lemony twang. I ordered fried mozzarella sticks. They were crispy brown, gooey and sprinkled with shaved mozzarella on top. Tasty. The music was early to mid 00's hip hop and the vibes were just wonderful. On the way out, a very cool young man floated-like literally floated towards us with a cake platter stacked with delicious, house made pastries. Some were sweet and some were savory, a complimentary treat. In my tipsy state, I swiped a pastry that looked like a cheese Danish. It was warm and flaky outside, filled with smooth gouda cheese and topped with thin sliced tomatoes. Those baked goodies were an unexpected treat. Meckelburg's was a marvelous way to end a night out in Brooklyn. I'll be going back for sure.

    Mimosa and nachos
    Julie B.

    My sister and I stopped here for a light snack and beverage break. It was a place she frequented and thought I'd like it... and she was right. I LOVED this cute spot! It has a menu that has a little something for everyone but isn't so massive that it's overwhelming. We shared a plate of beef chili nachos and two mimosas. The mimosas were huge and I'm pretty sure the juice was fresh squeezed. It paired beautifully with the massive plate of nachos. This was quite the heavy snack but I wasn't mad at it. Our server was great and was always around when we needed anything. I really wish I was a local cuz I could definitely see myself coming back here many times. 10/10 would recommend just for the booze and nachos alone!

    Stumbled upon this restaurant before we went to a brewery to have brunch. The menu is expansive and has all sorts of dishes. I got the Classic along with a matzah ball soup. Their fried chicken biscuits and gravy was tasty too but just a lot to finish. My pup was able to join us which was nice.

    Overpriced -- a 3 ounce chicken sandwich costs $13+ with tax. Service was t bad and did not take very long, however.

Decor/actual restaurant: This particular location is very small and tight with limited in-store seating. The interior is cute, I like the blue color theme they have here. For a restaurant designed for to-go orders, I believe that there could be more waiting room and a couple less chairs. Service: Like many "fast food adjacent" restaurants, the people who work there have good customer service but I imagine deal with the worst. I know they're doing great with the situation they're in. Kudos to them. Food: this is probably my harshest critique. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and it was fine. I don't believe it was worth the $16 I spent though. The chicken was kind of bland, tasted similarly to frozen grilled chicken pieces you buy from a grocery store. I do wish there was more sauce. The pesto tasted good but overall there was too much bread. I fear you would be better off making something like this at home for a comparable price. The bread was good, just too much. I don't want to base the menu on this sandwich alone, a lot of the menu options sounded delicious, but this was just the experience I had!

    ((4.5 stars)) Sunny…read moreand Annie's is very much a 24/7 neighborhood gem of a corner store and deli. it's packed with packaged foods--candy, chips, cookies, ice cream, soft drinks, beer, and a lot more plus the deli counter serves ups an endless list of creative sandwiches. i am not going to say this place is cramped but it kinda is. for example, if people stand in the wrong areas of the store, it will cause a complete standstill of a traffic jam in the store. my advice: order from the deli (and stand somewhere people aren't trying to get to) or grab whatever you need, pay, and leave. this place is not a place to linger. keep it moving. anyway, the obvious draw of Sunny & Annie's is the endless list of sandwiches that are handwritten cards that are stuck outside glass of the deli counter. there is literally something for the pickiest eaters--from hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, wraps, and more. some sandwiches are named celebrities, politicians, etc. i have ordered a bunch of different sandwiches and have not made it through much of the menu. you can also create your own Frankenstein monster of a sandwich. while the sandwiches are a big part of the draw, the insane amount of snack foods crammed into the store is quite remarkable from the large stand of Doritos, Takis, Cheetos and other popular branded snack foods in the front to the separate stand of Wise snacks to an entire back corner of the store filled with all kinds of chips, popcorn, etc. imo, Sunny's has the freshest-tasting Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. i know an insane take consider it's a packaged popcorn snack from a megacorp (PepsiCo), but i'll die on this hill. maybe it's cause Sunny's sells a lot of Smartfood popcorn so it gets refreshed often, maybe they have a secret in/pipelinbe from the factory, or it's just magic/alchemy. i don't know, but the Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn never tastes stale-ish like it does at grocery stores, the bags never feel deflated because they have been on shelf long, and the popcorn never has that soft mouthy feel but still has the crunch to it. maybe it's just me, but Sunny's serves a great list of sandwiches...AND the freshest Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. beyond the snacks, the service from the deli to cashier is upbeat and friendly. in all seriousness, Sunny and Annie's is an Avenue B institution at this point and remains a charming family-owned store--and is NOT a sterile modern clone of a neighborhood business.

    Huge sandwiches. Would recommend eating on a roll vs a wrap only because a wrap falls apart more…read moreeasily. Lots of flavors going on. Expected there to be a more accurate pho-palette, but the fusion is fun and appetizing nonetheless.

The fact it was in a common neighborhood made it even more enjoyable of a visit! Now to the sandwich..This sandwich itself DEFINITELY lives up to the hype! It really is the REAL DEAL!! Maybe they should change the name to "Da Bomb", because it's that's good! However, through no fault of anyone, this is the learning experience I take back for my next visit: 1) Extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Potato Salad IF extra hot peppers! 2) Bring reusable containers for your sandwich, especially if you're not going home/ hotel right away. Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here. Service is awesome, food is fresh, and the amount of food they offer for the price is well worth it. Definitely worth visiting again and again!!
