Patrick O'Reilly: The best rib eye in the world, try the shrimp & onion and tomato app, German potatoes and spinach too, they don't have becks dark anymore but the german dark beer in frosted mugs is just as good, $$ +
vega eric: Get the cream spinach and the fries as your sides with your steak for 2. For the appetizer get the tomatoes and onions and put steak sauce on it. Delicious. For desert get cheese cake with wip cream.
Daniel Boulud: You can’t go more old school than Peter Luger’s. Their porterhouse steak and tomatoes and onions with steak sauce are the best of classic New York cool.

Cliktrips (Jen Amadio): We love the toasted English muffin burger w cheddar and caramelized onions and the watermelon salad w feta cheese.
Magdalena Garczyński: Burger was great quality meat. French onion soup also delicious. Wine $10+; can get a $5 beer. Service was quick and friendly. Would go back!
Michael: Burger is on point, onion rings are tasty, bruschetta is good but non-traditional. They have a tasty house Amber on tap.

Pizzeria · Williamsburg · 200 tips and reviews
Chris Calo: Get the white pizza with caramelized onions. Ridiculous.
Britney Greenhouse: Absolutely get the anchovies with caramelized onions, delicious!! then follow up with a pickled veggie pizza slice, bomb. Ice tea to wash it down, and you are money.
Serious Eats: For Best Pizza's Pickled Vegetable Pie, onions, fennel, broccoli, sprouts, and cauliflower all get the brine treatment before being generously deposited on top of a pizza.
jake furst: the sweet and smokey blintz (kippered salmon, horseradish creme fraiche, green apple and red onion) is a fantastic bagel alternative, albeit a bit too small.
Jason Culler: Summer. New herring—raw and filleted—with raw onions and pickles. Best thing you'll ever eat.
Mike Friedman: The Great Gatsby: David Burke pastrami cured salmon, honey mustard, horseradish cream cheese and red onion on Caraway seeded rye. Divine.

Burger Joint · Downtown Brooklyn · 240 tips and reviews
Will Garré: Single burger patty is the way to go. Make sure to specify if you want lettuce, tomato, onions, or pickles, or else your burger will just be meat and cheese on a bun.
Tien Mao: To improve on a Single/Double Shack Burger, ask them for onions. If you're into onions, of course.
Ruby Engel: Single shack burger is where it's at. It will come with lettuce, tomatoes and shack sauce. Remember to specify for onions and pickles!

Jeremy V: Great bagels. Get the whitefish salad on a garlic with red onions. That's how you do it.
Danyel Smith: turkey burger on toasted whole wheat bagel with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion. or: hard-toasted bialy with lox spread, onion.
Dave Konig: This is a great spot for bagels and sandwiches. My personal favorite is a ham and swiss on an onion bagel with mayo, lettuce, and tomato. The walnut brownies are great too!

Manuel Bautista: Tacos al pastor con todo: cilantro, piña, cebolla, pepinos y rábanos...
Jesse Bagels: Get the al pastor and lengua. Use all the sauces. Eat the sauteed onion. Don't be a wimp.
Nicholas Doyle: The pastor and lengua were great and the grilled spring onion is always satisfying. The pollo, enchilada, and saudero weren't as impressive.

Gregory Fisher: The onion soup and orzo cacio e pepe for starters, the chicken and pork chop for mains, and the profiterole and Madeleines to finish it all off. I’d choose Chez Ma Tante over here still, but not bad!
Corinne Clemente: Loved the onion soup, country pâté, venison tartare, chanterelle ravioli, and profiteroles!
Simran Dass: Really nice place in the heart of Brooklyn. Good brunch menu - I loved the honey scone & the eggs Benny. Would come back for sure
