The "literal" embodiment of IYKYK, this classic old school neighborhood institution, the type of…read morewhich are becoming increasingly rare to the point of near extinction, is certainly on my shortlist of the best bars in the city, let alone the borough. The gorgeous, ancient building, Fillmores for close to 50 years now but home to a bar for many years prior to that, is perennially packed with a cross section of local regulars representing many eras of the neighborhoods varied history and populations, from old school working class joes in Union Jackets and hardhats to more recent immigrants from every corner of the world befitting it's location smack in the center of the worlds borough. They're all most definitely having a great time, soaking up the fantastic atmosphere and character and being served by seasoned pros with a level of old school care and camaraderie, and focus on loyalty to the regulars that is also sadly rapidly fading away (how many other places in this town still know the meaning of the words "buy back?") Where the place really sets itself apart from all the other local watering holes however charming they might be on their own right however, is the food. Its lives up to the original designation of a tavern as a place that places a priority on the cuisine, and indeed the offerings rise far far above the bar-food norm. This is the type of spot that not only serves one of the great, deeply satisfying under-the radar burgers, non nonsense but deeply meaty uniquely presented on a long hero-type roll, but also one of the best, and cheapest NY Strips in town and a killer prime rib special. Also has some of the most reliably crispy wings, even if the propriety house sauce is just a tad sweet for my tastes, and a rotating list of delicious house made soups (particularly a marvelous lobster bisque) that can be paired with said wings or most other options as part of the wonderful lunch specials. I've heard many other patrons praise the grilled chicken wrap but have never had the chance to give it a try as of yet. I'll have many more chances because I plan on continuing to visit the place often for years to come, and here's to hoping that this place remains a constant in the ever changing borough as it's miraculously been able to all these many many years.

Filmore's was a really fun neighborhood bar, and I would definitely accentuate the word…read more"neighborhood." It wasn't flashy or exciting, but it had the welcoming vibe of a restaurant that was meant for locals, and to serve the surrounding area. While I wish that they had a slightly larger selection of beers, they did have one (1) good IPA, and my food was pretty good as well. My chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were solid, but my pub pretzel was amazing, and made to perfection! The staff, to include the bartender and waiters, were all very nice, welcoming, and attentive, and I loved chatting with the other patrons as well. I'd definitely recommend Filmore's to anybody passing through the neighborhood, and I'll assuredly be back in the future!

When we first walked in, the restaurant had a cozy brick-style atmosphere with colorful advertisements decorating the walls which gave it a fun and inviting vibe overall. Since we're Yelp Elites, the owner graciously let us sample their wings and every sauce flavor they offer, which was an awesome surprise! The food itself was good the burgers were juicy, the fries were fresh and crispy, and the wings were full of flavor. It was also nice running into a few associates I hadn't seen in a long time, which made the experience even better. All in all, everything about the visit was good food, friendly atmosphere, and a nice community feel.

Not sure if they changed the recipe for the Thai Curry but it was really salty and didn't taste the same as before. As for the Jammin Jalapeño, there was barely any sauce on the wings while the Thai was drenched. Overall, wasn't bad.

Pretty decent burger spot. I recently came from a doctor's appointment and went to the closest…read morerestaurant to add a review to my listing and this spot only being a mere block away was the lucky selection. Inside is kinda narrow, but has decent seating. I admit I didn't thoroughly study the menu but they had some things that caught my eye. A loaded Cheeseburger called the Shiekh Supreme, Mozzarella Fries and the Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper which is quite the rarity. Service was essentially fast food tier which was OK but it is better than that of a typical fast food joint so I won't hammer too hard on them with that. The food is solid though. The Cheeseburger, albeit a tad greasy was a delight on the taste buds. It was beef certainly done proper. The mozzy sticks were nicely breaded and crisp with the right amount of cheese pull. The food is kinda pricey, but the spot is worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

I got the 1/2 slab of ribs, 10 bbq wings, 10 buffalo wings, side of baked mad and cheese, collard greens and mash potato. Ribs: they were pretty good but I wish they were more tender Bbq Wings: they were descent Buffalo Wings: didn't like them too much because they were TOO salty All sides: DELICIOUS! I dont know if they have gravy for the mash potatoes cause I got them plain and they were pretty good Wings in general were a bit weird as I posted in the pics. Some were full drums, some were half drums so I dont know what thats about. The service was delayed because one of the cooks messed up my order but the guy in the front addressed it before even giving me my order. He apologized for the delay which was cool with me. I was glad he checked my order before I did. All in all, I would go back for ribs and sides and maybe other thing, but not wings.

I ordered the chicken burger and onion rings. The chicken burger only comes spicy unless you get it…read moregrilled. Nonetheless my patty was not spicy at all. The sandwich was good overall, crispy and light flavor, quiet mild in taste actually. The patty was thin but was thick in some parts. I felt like the chicken was good quality. The lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh and brightened the sandwich. The onion rings were too crispy and had no onion in them. They were mostly round shells. They offered to change them for something else but I declined. My main concern is how food is being handled. Most employees had gloves on but were touching all the surfaces with the gloves on and then handling food. All employees were struggling with the order screen and kept touching the screen and then handling the food. I understand that kitchens get busy but there should be better training for using the order system and a better way for them to communicate the orders. Orders were taking longer than expected despite a small crowd. Customer service is friendly. This place is decent but needs some refinement. One smaller detail they can upgrade the brand of condiments they are using.

This past week, I had a proper brunch with another friend at The Smith and it was a great experience. I had made reservations (just in case), and I got there right on time but my friend was running late. I got seated towards the back by the friendly hostess but as I was waiting, I changed my mind and wanted to sit closer to the front where there was more light coming in from the front the windows. The hostess was very accommodating and moved the table without a problem. The food was delicious. As always, I try to keep it healthy and had the Sugar Snap Pea salad and my friend had the Burrata. The salad was fresh and crispy, with grilled chicken for extra protein. My friend said the Burrata could have been warmer in temperature, but it was still a good choice for her. The ambiance was also very pleasant, there weren't many people at the time we went and I think once the weather gets warmer, the front doors are able to be fully open and allow air in and provide a more al fresco dining experience.
