Time Out New York: This nautical dive has some of the city’s best bar food, including a knockout cheeseburger with mayo and sliced half-sour pickles tucked beneath an amply salted LaFrieda patty. Read more.
nymag: Black Betty's been reborn into this kitschy, nautical spot with four-star bar food. Per the Underground Gourmet, try the fried chicken - "among the best in town" - and the "adult cheese" sandwich. Read more.

Fried Chicken Joint · Williamsburg · 554 tips and reviews
The Corcoran Group: Once you get past the apathetic service, you’ll be blown away by their Fried Chicken Box (get the cheese grits) and finish it off with a slice of Banana Cream Pie. The doughnuts are great too!
Serious Eats: Crisp fried chicken, warm, fluffy biscuits, and tender doughnuts all at reasonable prices. Good for breakfast, too.
Tamara H: Walk across the Wburg Bridge w/ your favorite girl and treat her to a chicken biscuit w/ profresh people watching on the side. If she's not into it: dump her, take me.

Patrick Figueroa: The Uni Salmon bomb is incredible. Also the Japanese style chocolate mousse is INcredible.
Cristina F-M: pork belly and party bomb!!
Jonathan Liang: Try the Sashimi Platter. 4 types of fish, all super fresh and comes on a bed of greens and cubed carrots, daikon, radishes for a palette cleanser. You will not be disappointed.
Beril Esen: A great spot for meat-lovers! The brisket and pork ribs were both deliciously seasoned. The Texas original shiner ruby redbird was an interesting choice for those who like fruity, flavored beers.
Liang Shi: As a Texan, I refuse to eat BBQ in NYC. This place is the ONLY exception.
Nora Abousteit: Dan Delaney learned from the best in Texas, drove a smoker and fire wood from Austin to Brooklyn and tested recipes for months to serve you the perfect brisket in his beautiful restaurant.

Lounge · Williamsburg · 35 tips and reviews
Pablo Douzoglou: At $14 a plate, the Coq au vin is a great deal. Deliciously hearty with hefty helpings of bread to soak the wine sauce. Try to score a booth if you can.
Serious Eats: OTB's cheeseburger is a classic, straightforward rendition, but it's the crisp, chili-brined fries that are the real winner.
