Michelle K.Michelle Kramer: Heidi is super sweet! Make sure to call ahead and put your name on the list or you'll wait for over an hour. The shrimp tacos and Mac 'n Cheese are both amazing!

Andie S.Andie Sleeman: Our go to comfort food spot in the neighborhood. Get the Mac & Cheese and the Artichoke Salad. Their beer selection is great (always a few options on "special" for $5).

KinoKino: The Mac & Cheese here is my favorite in all of NYC. I'm not sure what cheese blend they use, but it's an excellent combination. No beer taps & no reservations. Bottled beer. Wine bar feeling.

Juliet O.Juliet Obodo: Try to come early btw 7-9 to get a table. Recommend the Mac N Cheese, the oyster sliders and the yummy spiked lemonade.

Anna H.Anna Hyclak: One of the UES's cooler, more hipster bars. Great cocktails, even better brunch (love the fried chicken & waffles!). Typical faux vintage-y Williamsburg-esque decor.

Abby M.Abby Miles-Ruttenberg: The Mac and cheese is the best I've ever had.

Jess N.Jess Naldo: Great selection of beers w/ a decent crowd & friendly/knowledgeable staff. Tater tots were more like mashed potato balls (still good) & cornbread was disappointingly underwhelming. Solid wings though!

Taylor V.Taylor VA: Chicken tenders and biscuit with side of IPA Fries and a Money IPA...great meal.

TeresaTeresa: Chicken tenders and a biscuit for $10! Great selection of craft beers and whiskey so no one needs to feel left out.

Matthew S.Matthew Spector: Stellar new bar in the old Neary's space. A surprisingly spotless gastropub meets beer hall, with a great selection of pretzels, upscale mac and cheese and can't-miss smoked chicken wings.

Audun A.Audun Andersen: Chicken wings were dry, the two accompanying sauces not good. Fried chicken juicy, but tasteless. Slow service. Ok price level.

Dan U.Dan Ucko: Great beer selection, big place that's good for groups. The pretzel is insanely big -- and fresh!
