The food was delicious, lots of choices. The employees were friendly and attentive. Nice decor inside and out. My family has been eating there for many years.
Service is very slow. Two steaks and cocktails were ordered. Waited 45 minutes for meals. Cocktails were prepared quickly, but the taste was very different from the original. Also steaks not well:(
Great Place for a burger and a nice cocktail, bartenders are great nice atmospheres. Highly recommended.
What a horrible meal and service. I ordered the French onion soup and the shell steak well done. Both served at the same time. When the steak returned it was ice cold. I asked them for a new steak because you cant really recook well done steak. They agreed and guess what?I just canceled my dinner and went home.
Everything I ordered was incredible, I had the spare ribs that were unbelievable so tender, the steak cooked to perfection, my nephew and girlfriend enjoyed the chicken ceasar salad as well, we had a wonderful incredible time, waiter so polite and was right there when needed, there is nothing that disappointed us!! Looking forward to going back.
This place NEVER MISSES. It’s our go-to because if we’re hungry but too tired to cook or too lazy to find a new place or too scared to experiment with something new, this is always the result we end up with.Personal favorites: chilli, French onion, chicken pot pie, burgers, fried chicken sandwich, chicken franchese, THE RIBS/mashed 🤤 basically everything is deliciousThe staff and service is always on point.
Nice place, one of the best in Bay Ridge. The prices are reasonable and the sliced steak sandwich is _really_ good.The bread, the cole slaw, the steak just comes together to make a good sandwich. Also polite staff.
Once upon a time this was an Ice Cream Parlor, now its an amazing place to grab a bit more of a bite to eat ! Real nice atmosphere as well as menu selection. The Reuben I enduldged in was Fantastic!
The food was delicious and the staff very attempted. Definitely a great place to eat and drink. We will definitely visit again.
Me and a friend of mine was looking for a quick local spot to have a drink and came across this hidden jewel. I found parking around the corner from the spot and walked over. When arrived we were greeted and told we can sit wherever we want so we sat on the bar stools table top. A very nice server/bartender named Jenn came over to serve us and I must say she is the sole reason I am giving this establishment a 5 star rating. She was awesome! We ordered or drinks, mine was a pinot nior and my friend had a beer and a surprise mixed drink which was good. We also had to order fries but I didnt indulge in but they looked good. Everything was pretty good and I enjoyed my experience very much and hope to be back.
I came here recently for lunch because of all the buzz I saw about this place on a page I follow on Facebook. The food and service was very good and the place isnt noisy with loud music. Everything came out shortly after I ordered it. I got the French Onion Soup which was pretty good. It had the right amount of flavor and melted cheese on top. My Bloody Mary Cocktail was also great. I also got the Reuben Sandwich with a side order of Fries. There was so much food that I couldnt even finish it and I was full for the rest of the day. You really get your monies worth with this place and the prices are very reasonable. I was surprised that the Soup was only $6.00. Most pubs charge more. The only con would be that the appearance needs a bit of a touch up, including the bathroom downstairs. Otherwise, this is a great place for a quick bite to eat. I will definitely come back in the future. I heard the burgers, ribs and seafood is pretty good.
Have been here a couple of times. The servers are quick to greet you and constantly check up on the tables. Ive had the swiss burger and the ribs. The burger was good and the ribs were great, meat just fell right off the bone. French onion soup here is great as well. Great neighborhood spot.
Awesome place, nice bar waiter very attentive spare ribs meat falls right off the bone. Everything was delicious
Came here on a busy Saturday night, 10 minute wait at most. The place was packed with bar goers enjoying the game. We were seated in the back. Loved the decor! The service was great the food was delicious.Once we were seated, water and bread was set on the table right away. Our waitress took our drink orders quickly while we continued to browse the menu. We ordered the French onion soup to share. I ordered the bbq baby back ribs with sweet potato fries. My boyfriend ordered the French dip with fries.The onion soup arrived, looked just like any other place but looks are deceiving! The onion soup was so good! It was the best French onion soup weve ever had. Cheesy, lots of onion, not to salty, and just the right amount of bread.Our entrees arrived right after they took our soup away. My ribs were so good! They were very generous with the portions. I got 2 racks of ribs. They were fall off the bone! The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Best Ive had in a very long time. My boyfriends French dip sandwich came with a pickle, slaw, and fries. The garlicky bread they used added extra flavor to the sandwich. The dip was rich in flavor and light at the same time.If youre around the neighborhood do check this place out. I highly recommend this place. Food and service are amazing!
I loved the decor. Looks like you walked back in time. The service was very good, but the good was only ok. I got the Shepards pie, but it was not Shepards pie. It was beef stew smothered in mashed potato. Definitely none of the traditional ingredients Im used to cooking it with and tasting. It wasnt BAD... but it wasnt what you expect. I also wish they had a traditional buffalo wing. The pecan pie is super though! Id come again to try something else for sure.
Stopped into Skinflints for drinks after walking through Dyker Heights to look at the neighborhood Christmas decorations. Sat at the bar and drank 2 Manhattans. The bartender was good, and the mood was quiet but genial. It seemed like a great place. Id like to go back for a meal sometime.
Had dinner here on a double date with my fiance and was very impressed. The staff and service is warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend the seafood paella and the calamari. They were both terrific. Potato skins were also great.
Great old school restaurant, bar. Great food, Best Irish coffee
Roast beef sandwich was awesome but the fries were a little to burned. Waitress was very nice so Im sure if I sent back the fries it wouldnt be an issue. I would go again but I feel this mandatory vacations for everyone to have lunch is ridiculous. I feel bad for the owners who Im sure lose a lot of customers.
A local staple where the burger and Shrimp Scampi reign supreme. Ask for extra scampi sauce. Sooooooo Good!! And Chocolate mouse Yessss, and of course atmosphere always chill. Ask for James the bartender. Hes awesome.
When we went to this place I was pleasantly surprised to see that old school restaurant with tin ceilings, stain glass windows and old tiles. The service and food was good; although I never ate a burger on a muffin but it was good.
First off: the food, drinks, and service are always and consistently good. I dont eat out too often, but when I do: this place is always a consideration. Theyve got a really great indoors (Im skipping indoors because of Covid, so....theyve also got a great outdoor seating area.Second: this restaurant is incredibly generous to the senior citizens who live here. Every year they donate a delicious Thanksgiving meal to a huge amount of senior citizens. Seniors in this neighborhood speak often and fondly of the lovely Thanksgiving service donated by Skinflints. Bravo, bravo, bravo for the kind people at Skinflints!This year, amidst the Covid hell, they still did it.I dont know owns this restaurant, but I know they have a big heart.If you spend your own money here, you should know that they money is being reinvested in the elder population. Three cheers, guys.UPDATE: I sadly had to attend the funeral of an elderly friend, after which was the mercy meal, held at my friends favorite pub: Skinflints. They did a great job of checking vaccine cards and IDs, and the staff was great: very helpful and accommodating to a somewhat disorganized group of post funeral-goers. The food was good (as always), but I also want to thank the staff for yes-ing any request that the guests had. From the hostesses, to the manager (Joseph), to the bussers and waiters, everyone worked hard to be warm and welcoming to everyone in the group. This place is just a great gem, and Im glad to have them in our neighborhood.
Best dining experience in bay ridge! amazing service, great food and well run from the top to the bottom:)
As usual their strong suit is consistency. Excellent ribs and wings. And my chicken Jambalaya was also delicious it was a special. You cant go wrong here
We went for late lunch asked if have table outside we were told was . We received the menus the setup for the table passed 20 min seating outside no one came to check on us offer a drink or even ask if we were ready to order
Very good n my son had his 35th dinner his older brother 18 months and his wife and me their mother Laura had a great dinner
Its true. They really do have the best burger in Bay Ridge. I had the blue cheese burger today and it was delicious. The outdoor dining area is set up really nice as well. Would definitely recommend to others.
I spent my special Christmas dinner with my boyfriend here and we were completely satisfied with everything. Decorations, food, staff and atmosphere are all amazing!!!
Delicious comfort food, delectable drinks, and great ambiance. As well as an engaging and inviting staff while watching the Chiefs/ Broncos Saturday night game.
We dined in, great service & atmosphere, nice spot to have a relaxing time. Food was delicious we had onion soups, 2 orders of spicy wings, fries and Club sandwich. Well definitely return.
Love this place. Great staff. The burgers and French onion soup are excellent
Sat at the bar for the first time since moving into the neighborhood. Exactly what I thought it would be: sports on the TV, warm welcoming bartnender, cold beers, people who know each other for years, great ecclectic playlist and friendly people who keep topping off your drink.The food menu is simple but very good!
Great food, Service was good clean No Complains 💖
The atmosphere and food was a delight. Felt so good to be out again, and they were kind while also being safe with temperature checks and sanitizing tables between use
Service and staff are great! The place is nice and their sidewalk/street setup is quaint and cozy adding to the experience. I craved a cheeseburger got one, it was nothing special but I expected more and the cheese came from a can so I wont be getting that the next time for sure. However, with the exception of the cheese, everything was fresh and freshly made.
Had chicken pot pie. Very big pie. Very good. Look forward to my next visit. Flo K
💯% recommend. Food and drinks amazing also the prices are fair...
Keep coming back and always enjoy my dinner 🥰 french onion soup, bbq ribs and chicken pot pie one of the favorites 🤤🤤
Our neighborhood CHEERS lol always warm and friendly service. Foods always great.
Its a treasure; the place is amazingly well preserved and th the community loves enjoying a good time with friends and loved ones any time is a good time here 🙏👍😜😁
Good place. The service was impeccable and friendly. Definitely I’ll be back again
Great food at great prices. One of the oldest bars in Bay ridge. Get the ribs and chicken pot pie. The meat falls off the bones and the chicken pot pie is home made with their own sauce and fresh vegetables.
Great food, nice staff, and nice atmosphere.
Everyone in our party enjoyed there dinners
Excellent service and the food was very good. Sangria was a little weak compared to other places but everything else more than made up for it. Overall a pleasant experience and worth coming back to again.
Staff was very nice covid approved! Clean ! We had a good time. Thanks!
Skinflints offers the warm, cozy and laid-back atmosphere I enjoy.Also, the food is very good. Im a big fan of their burgers and fries.
They have a Half-Rack of Ribs Appetizer with choice of side that is to die for. As soon as you pick up a rib, it falls off the bone. It is That slow cooked.The steak options are to die for.And my Girlfriend really live the huge portion of Spanish Paella. They are always out of the Manhattan Clam Chowder. You have to get here early for that.
Best ribs an Bayridge. Great ambiance
Neighborhood bar thats been around for a very long time. Great staff, very friendly. Fantastic burgers and ribs. Good selection of beers. Cant go wrong coming here.
Very nice place. Went with friends who have been there before
A neighbor told me how good their Burger was and she wasnt lying. I have also had their chicken pot pie and fish and chips, both of which were very tasty. I cant wait to have their wings soon!
The food and the service was great But they had the air conditioner on And I made My food cold I had to take the rest home Its ridiculous how they had the air conditioner on a 0 below night
So the stars are for the decor and vibe if the place. I do like the dated decor and unique pieces found around and the stain glass. I would definitely go back for a drink but not for the food. We had the French onion soup and provolone burgers. Both were honestly very bland and I am not a fan of the English muffins used for the burgers. I dont agree that they work well together as many reviews state. Me and my friend are on a mission to taste some of the highly rated burger places and this one really missed the mark on the food. Good service and cool vibe, but I would eat somewhere else.
Great food and real friendly service, I got the French onion soup and chicken pot pie highly recommended!
This place is where to go if you want to travel back in time where the food is fresh and flavorful, the staff is polite, friendly and accommodating. The prices are right and everything is perfect!! Cant wait to go back!
Good value overall. Food was adequate. Staff efficient. Venue decent though showing signs of wear.
Was there for dinner and a few drinksA bay ridge staple for many years. Been going there since the 90s.Place u well kept a local crowd and from all over to.The bar is well stocked service is good.The food is great bar food. Never had a bad meal there always on point.Menu choices are good a good mix of different dishes.The crowd is very mixed weekends are busier.Ill always be back.
I’ve been coming to Skinflints for over 10 years now. It’s a neighborhood favorite. Your guaranteed fair prices on your food and drinks. Food is always a generous amount and taste good. When we’re not sure where to eat, we always know Skinflints won’t disappoint. In all the years I have come here...I’ve never had any issues. Bartenders and waiters are always to par.
One of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. Food is great the drinks are awesome bartenders wait staff managers are all on point. Been coming to this place for years cannot say anything bad about it.
Sat outside had a very nice time with my girlfriend, she loved the place. The staff were curtious, helpful and accommodating. Food was very good, no complaints!!👍
Best Burger in NYCBest Service and Great Atmosphere
Great atmosphere! Love the food and service 😁
Fun local place with ultra reasonable prices and super delicious pub food. Very friendly service with real good vibes. The ribs really do fall off the bone.
(PRE-COVID) Service needs to be improved. We were told by a young male waiter to order in the next few minutes and eat quickly as their main dining room was closing. The waiter should have told us we could sit and order at the bar - which was open for another hour. I couldn’t enjoy my food, and the waiter was in such a rush to clock out, he gave us our check immediately after we ordered. Give your customer all their options instead of pressuring them. The wings and french onion dip sandwich is to die for but not sure if it’s worth it. Come for the food, not the service!
Always Enjoy coming here. Friendly, Attentive Staff and Gracious owner. Excellent Food and Service. Social Distancing protocols fully enforced. Plenty of seating indoor and out. Plus a Bar Area.😎😎
Excellent restaurant! Amazing food. The only thing is that—they have not yet set up a website or listed a proper menu. Unfortunately, I don’t order form the quite often because Im not able to see their menu.I think that would help them with more orders, especially during the pandemic. Otherwise, I’ve got not to complain about.
Ordered the fish and chips, realized that they use farm raised tilapia instead of cod... a little disappointing, ended up giving it to my dogs. The fries were good though. If you want good fish and chips, with real fish kettle black and cebu are the places to go.
Service was very good. We had a table for eight. It was ready on time. Make no mistake about it, its bar food. But its good bar food. Everyone was pleased with their plates. Our waiter wea attentive without being intrusive. Nice neighborhood joint to sit and relax. Although, it is a bar, so it tends to be loud.
Havent been here in years but food was still just as delicious as I remembered. Great comfort food. Ribs are always amazing!
Love their Sunday brunch. Their French onion soup is delicious. Their burgers are cooked to your request, so juicy and delicious. Everybody in my family enjoyed their food. Very busy place, the server is very friendly and patient with my family, table full of people with all different ages.
Ive been coming for years and love this place. And they sing for birthdays. Best french onion soup ever!!! And ribs and burgers!!!
Terrible food ordered gotten an hour later burger was cold with zero flavor salad was thrown together and fries soggy and cold chicken wings were short one and no flavor $40 down the drain would have been much better at McDonald’s for $10 atleast it would taste good and not like I’m eating cold cardboard!!!
Been great ...still great! Burgers and ribs are top notch and service is always friendly.
I will never go back to this establishment again. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Not to mention the food & drinks were horrible. If your not Caucasian, do not go to this establishment. The employees & some of the customers, will make sure youll never want to return. This is the first time in my life, that I didnt leave the waitress a tip.
Great service and more importantly, great food!Baby back ribs are sooo delicious here along with the chicken pot pie, and soups. Burgers are also cooked to medium rare juicy perfection!
Awesome Irish pub, and the food is great. Ribs are an obvious recommendation, but go for the Bleu cheese burger with bacon. 🤤
Excellent bar with amazing bartender! I ordered some awkward custom drinks and Ari nailed them! I will definitely return!
In my opinion, this is one of the best places in Bay Ridge for a burger.Ive been enjoying Skinflints for over 25 years. Their menu choices are plenty and they offer a great variety of chicken and beef dishes. Theyre consistent with quality, care and portion size.Their waitstaff is never bothersome but seems to be attentive to your needs without being overbearing.Ive never had a bad experience at Skinflints and really recommend it.
Great food and service. It’s a quality establishment that deserves every customer. They treat you great. The French onion soup is outstanding as was recommend by multiple people.
Been going here for years. Absolutely delicious meals!!! I love their fish and chips and the steak sandwich!!!
We occasionally/frequently go here for dinner after work on Friday nights and other times as well. Burgers are great. Grilled salmon is great. In general very good to great. House salad more than lettuce! Delicious seeded crackers as well!
Great Staff, Excellent People, the place to go‼️ Cheers 🍻 & abbondanza to everyone and a Very Happy Holidays! Brooklyn’s Own Ray “Boom-Boom” Fialo
Food was good, I had a burger and baked potato. Service was fine. Sat for a long time, was not rushed.
It took nearly an hour to make my burger after being told it was going to be 15 minutes and when i finally did get the food, it was over cooked and dry. I do not reccomend
Omg’dddd - Hubby & I decided to go have a drink & dinner!!! We ordered the Shell Steak & Mash, Shepherds Pie & Wings… boy o boy - we were not disappointed!!!
It’s a happening bar atmosphere. The hamburgers are placed on a big English muffin which gives it a unique taste. I always go here for ribs as well. The meat is so tender it just melts in your mouth.
Always a fun time. I been here for lunch, dinner, day drinking, and just a stop in for a drink. Food is always on point. Drinks are good. I have sat at the bar and at a table. The burgers are great, the grilled chicken cesar salad, and the sandwiches are all great. Company is always fun also.
Really nice, rustic interior. The food was, ok. We had the country sole, very bland, I asked for capers to doctor it. The dijon chicken, the same. However, their appetizer of ribs was great! For $10, you get enough for an entree. Friendly respectful service.
Nice ambiance and decor. Lots of wood and somewhat dim lighting with lots of chatskies on the wall to invoke that cozy old pub feeling.Waiting staff is friendly enough and just attentive enough, busboy/waiter was very eager to remove our plates as soon as we were done...However the food was a letdown. The onion soup was good but my chicken vegetable soup came with dry chicken, how do you do that? and very very mushy vegetables. Both me and my wife is steaks. I ordered a steak that was on the specials list, forgot what it was called but was supposed to come with a light cognac sauce (I think) and mushrooms. The mushrooms were very present, piled high but I really couldnt detect any sauce. Same goes for my wife who ordered the French grilled steak with plenty of options but really missing red wine, cognac and garlic.
Frequent flyer at this restaurant & it never EVER disappoints. From the burgers on the english muffins, to the FALL OFF THE bone ribs- you truly cant go wrong with any choice! Always wonderful servers & quick service!
The food and service was amazing! We didnt wait long. Only thing that was disappointing was that outdoor spaces were not heated. I would have rather ate outside.
Great burger w blue cheese, fried onions and mashed potatoes. Covid friendly and much by the rules, not too many people inside and it felt very safe and the food was great.
Best French Onion Soup, seriously. Youll never have a bad meal here.
Always get food for our staff from here they have amazing food and staff members.
Good food great specials & best burger for 50 years. I know I was there!!!
The burgers are always a great choice along with the ribs. The ambiance and decor is my favorite part and If open, id suggest dining in the garden. Truly makes you feel like youre somewhere else!
#mikemerone Say,s Subscribe To my YouTube for more information Videos in Brooklyn. Good Burger Nice Bar Looks from the 30s .
BEWARE - The new Skinflints uses canned cheese wiz on their burgers. Also my friends salmon was white and didnt taste anything like salmon. Miss so much the ol Skinflints.
Been coming here forever, best burgers in Brooklyn. Also known for their french onion soup, ribs, lots of great comfort food as well as healthy salads. Always a good time.
Jacob my server always greets me warmly. No matter how many tables he may have, he makes me feel like my table is the only one he has. The food is always great. The portions are generous. Thanks again.
WARNING: DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE VERBALLY ASSAULTED AND CHASED DOWN THE SIDEWALK BY THEIR WAITSTAFF.Came here last night with a couple of friends. Sat at the bar and had some tasty food and great cocktails. Seeing that we had such a good experience, we decided to come back tonight for dinner. We arrive a little before 5pm and the restaurant wasnt very busy. At first, we enjoyed our time; however, things quickly went south when it came time to cash out.After waiting nearly 20 minutes for the waiter to swing by, a different waiter came to see what we needed. We asked for separate checks, if possible, and he said it wouldnt be a problem. The three of us continued to wait for an additional 30 minutes while every waiter moved about the non-busy restaurant.Having to get the waiters attention, he stated that hes working on it. Fast forward 10 more minutes, we finally had our checks. After waiting an additional 10 minutes for the waiter to return to run two of our cards, we were obviously aggravated.On my ticket, I wrote, Waiting over 30 minutes for our check sucks then we left. This is when things get CRAZY.Our waiter ran out of the restaurant and followed us down the sidewalk all while yelling and screaming at us. Through a stream of expletives, he continued to scream and accosted my friend. He was violent and was preparing to have a physical altercation with our friend. After several minutes of yelling and screaming and acting a fool, he retreated back into the restaurant.DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!! The waiter - a man with arm-sleeve tattoos and facial hair - came dangerously close to physically harming my friend while screaming threats to myself and my friend.I REPEAT - DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ASSAULTED. I fully plan on filing official complaints.
Great atmosphere, very nice and friendly staff. But food... We ordered fried calamari and cheddar burger. Calamari was okey, nothing special. But burger was owful. I expected juicy patty but it was dry and not salted at all. I would like to come back but just for drinks.
This is a true NYC gem, the decor has not changed Im not sure in how long, the food, service and hospitality the same, amd thank goodness. There menu is very traditional american bar, but NOTHING is to be missed especially there burgers served with home made fries on a giant English muffin. Price? $9 bucks for a regular burger, and if you want to fancy it up the most expensive one is $11.95... Worth it!
Ive been going here since I was a baby so Im biased, but one of the best stops in Brooklyn. Its an authentic Brooklyn pub in the heart of Bay Rigde. A favorite among locals, and for anyone that stumbles upon it. Amazing burgers, served on english muffins, french onion soup, shrimp scampi, and fish and chips are all amazing too. Decent beer selection, nothing to craft so craft beer lovers will have limited options, but a great bar. I love Skinflints.
Great food and wonderful service! Seating can be a bit drafty!!!!
Awesomely old school decor. Interior is really just beautiful with stained glass accents and burnished wood. And the drinks arent bad either! A great affordable neighborhood place to grab a beer or cocktail after work.
Good food and drinks for a neighborhood pub. The service is not bad. Sometimes they get really busy so you wait a bit for your order but thats to be expected.
Very Very nice food! You find the traditional American and French foods. Nice quality and good service!!
Good food service was good steak sandwich was good but fries can be better..
The appetizers are always great to Calamar and the chicken wings are fantastic Burgers are always on the money you can also get good shepherd pie and chicken pot pies the only reason it doesnt get V Star is because the owner gets cheap doesnt include celery and carrots the cheapest things in the world to throw on the plate with the chicken wings come on now short arms Deep Pockets
Great food .. nice outdoor seating during this pandemic...nice staff... skinflints havent changed. They were good back in the days and still are. Ohh and the cocktails are great as well 👍
The burgers as well as the french onions soups are awesome! Tried their soup du jour, and it was sweet potatoes. That was really good as well. Classic Chicken pot pie was fresh, flaky crust, really filling! will definitely be coming more often.
Honestly the best burger in Brooklyn. Unique, and served on an English muffin. Cheddar is gooey and delicious. The potato skins can come with sour cream and chili, in addition to the aforementioned cheddar and their smoked bacon. A real treat.
Timeless, classic, Irish Brooklyn pub. Doesnt get much better around these areas. Would strongly recommend this place for either a mid-day family outing, evening drinks, or late night shots with the boys. This place is flexible and capable enough to provide the ambiance for wide range of gatherings.
Really fun pub atmosphere. I have been here a bunch of times and I always order either a burger or a salad. I have been happy with everything I ever ordered. The service has generally been friendly which feels just right.
The burgers are excellent, charbroiled, taste homemade. Best French onion soup since The Loft! Service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
Eclectic old time feel! Beautiful bar and comfy seating area. Always full of people. Food is good! Cant say enough about the Chicken Pot Pie- who wouldve thunk?!
The steak sandwich on garlic toast with hand-cut french fries OMG. The spicy virgin bloody Mary was amazing. Xoxox
Delicious food, gorgeous Christmas ambiance during the holidays, amazing service, & there are locals of all ages which shows it’s well loved by all. I highly recommend the French dip sandwich. I’m looking forward to coming back again!
Ive been here so many times, never a bad experience which is why I go back. Tonight was my worst experience here... we waited at the bar for 15 minutes for a table, no big deal, because we got drinks, and its normal for any place after 7pm on a Friday night. Get seated and our waiter comes over after about 10 minutes and asks if were ready to order. Say we need a couple more minutes for food, but want an app and some more drinks. App and beer gets brought to the table by someone else. Flash forward 20 minutes, said waiter comes back and says are you ready to order yet? We have a waitlist for tables. Uhhh yeah weve been ready! Place our food orders. 20 minutes later food comes and one of our four orders isnt right. Wait for the waiter to come back, he realizes that he messed it up. We order more drinks. Flash forward another 15 minutes, replacement food comes out but still no drinks. 5 minutes later, drinks arrive after we ask again. Everyone eats and drinks, were ready to go... really to get out of there.Not sure what was going on tonight, but another table that sat down a few minutes after us had to ask for a bread basket and was just placing their food orders when our food was being brought to the table. Same waiter. Another table was asked to leave after sitting too long once they were done and paid the bill.I get it - Friday night busy. But Im not sure that I would manage it the way it was managed tonight if it were my choice, especially since what was going on was clear to the other guests. Might choose another place next time.
Love there food also the best burgers
Great neighborhood space. Good food and good drink and just generally a positive experience. Burgers are great along with several other hot sandwiches.
My friends and I visited this place a few weeks ago. We did not like the drinks. Margarita had absolutely no flavor and the wine wasnt good either. After having the so-so drinks we did not want to order any food. Sorry, cant write anything about it!
Very perfect place for a quite pint and good pub food
Food and service is always excellent. You can literally throw a dart at the menu and youll enjoy it. The specials are always changing to keep the menu fresh. Great place for friends and family.
Good. Great lunch selection and reasonably priced. Always pleasant waiters and waitresses. Sometimes service is a little slow.
If the waiter didnt try to rush us out in a non busy time, I would have give five star, been going there for many years, love their food, but just would like to have a comfortable meal without being rush.
The best of the best for meat lovers! The full rack of ribs is phenomenal! As well as the lamb chops. The vibes inside are really nice and cozy.
We have been coming here for years. Although It can be dark when you are sitting in the dining hall, there is an option for the second room and a backyard space for eating that is more bright. Wheel chair access for both sitting and for bathroom. The staff is always friendly and the food is delicious. They have bar foods (mozz sticks, potatoe skins, burgers, wings and ribs) but they also have more dinner selections like chicken franchese, chicken pot pies and steak sandwiches. They stay open late on the weekends which is nice after a night out in Bay ridge and you are looking for some apps with friends. If you do not care to eat, you can also just visit here for drinks in the front part of the restaurant.
Nice place to have a good meal
Unbelievably delicious burgers and service was excellent and social distancing was observed, I will definitely be back

I been here many times, but I got together with some friends I havent seen in a while but it was great the staff are awesome very friendly, the food is good and good prices Is a nice place for every age.
The food was SO-SO. Nothing to really boast about. The staff is friendly and attentive and the bartenders are great. Id say this place is great for drinks... Not so much for food.
I was disappointed. Hadnt been there in a while. Was looking forward to the chicken potpie. It was always my favorite thing there. But I found the recipe had changed. The pie was very dry. And the crust was also different.
Rude and disgusting employees with attitudes that work here never in my life have I been treated so low! I wouldn’t recommend coming here specially if you are looking for a good time. Horrible atmosphere I am very angry I wasted my time coming all the way to this place to have such a bad experience. Don’t come here!!!!
...but they wouldnt give me any! I was seated promptly, a busboy brought me a basket of unappetizing dessicated breadsticks, and I was then just left there to twiddle my thumbs and fantasize about how great a burger and beer would taste. No one even offered to bring me a drink. At one point, I managed to catch a servers eye and settled down when I heard her call around a corner Youre taking care of number eight, right? Assuming I was at table 8, I thought my server would now be along promptly. Nope. I was finally forced to walk out and find somewhere else to eat. I should add that the place was in no way crowded tonight.I wouldnt be quite so ticked off if this wasnt the SECOND time Ive tried unsuccessfully to eat here. The first time wasnt really their fault as it WAS very crowded that night, but I was told I would have a table in a few minutes, then left to stand in the bar for a quarter of an hour. (In my mind, a few means five minutes, maybe 10. Not 15.) I was forced to walk out that evening as well, as I had literally become dizzy with hunger. Thats OK not being able to serve a patron promptly when busy, but dont tell shell be seated shortly when she wont, and when she comes back, FEED HER. As things stand, I will never darken this establishments doorstep again. Inexcusable.
Bay Ridge native, never miss a chance to hit Skinflints every visit home. BEST CHEDDAR BURGER ON THE PLANET! Josh the bartender is a great guy as well. Highly recommend
Was a cool place, reasonably priced, good drinks, good food, good service, no complaints
STILL THE BEST BURGER IN BROOKLYN. QUALITY BEEF DONE TO PERFECTION. BEER IS ALWAYS ICE COLD. LOTS OF MENU OPTIONS. TURN OF THE CENTURY DECOR AND IN NICE WEATHER A COZY OUTDOOR PATIO (12-16 SEATS). TRY IT, YOULL BE HAPPY.
This is a place to visit if your looking for greatttt food. The french onion soup, had many but this place takes it, the taste, its awesome. Steak and cheese sandwich, grrrr woff woff the dog in me comes out, simply delicious
A hidden gem you only find in the part of 5th ave below 86th the food is excellent the atmosphere is friendly HELL ITS JUST THE KIND OF PLACE YOU WANA DRINK BEER ALL AFTERNOON stop in on a early Saturday afternoon and youll get the real essence of the place its just nice joint reminds me of the way hunters ale house use to be before they closed the OTB
Last night was my sisters birthday and everything was great. From the appetizers to the desert which was amazing!!!! (apple pie and ice cream), everything was great great. Deff one of the best places in brooklyn.
Great Food and Atmosphere !!!
Honestly, service was great, food was not.
Josh the bartender is awesome. We have frequented it 2 days in a row. Had lunch and dinner and drinks. Awesome time both days. Place to go for sure,
Great food nice restaurantNo wonder still going strong :)
Really solid burgers here - we love that theyre served on an English Muffin. Our personal favorite is the Bacon Cheddar with a side of fries.
Delicious hamburgers. LOve their coconut shrimp. I can wear my MAGA TRUMP CAP THERE. It is Trump country . CUSTOMERS AND A WAITRESS came up to me to say they like my MAGA CAP AND MY TRUMP SWEATSHIRT. Yay for Bay Ridge. Go on Sunday evenings , better parking.
Theres been an old-school restaurant or diner on this spot since forever. Skinflints keeps up the tradition with faux stained glass, wood everything, and evokes a pub from the old country (which old country? All of them, based on the mishmash of styles). It caters to a clientele of older folks grabbing an early-bird dinner and sedate pub-goers looking to watch a game in the cavernous (for a local bar) front room. Be sure to try out their English-muffin burgers, the only gimmick youll find in this otherwise low-key spot.
Excellent service food and drinks
Excellent local hangout, great drinks, delicious meals and reasonable prices. If these arent enough enjoy the decor and the 2 sides view of bay ridge streets
We have been there three times in the past month-and-a-half and have not been disappointed in the food yet especially the chicken pot pie The place is very comfortable and the staff is very nice, we definitely will be going back again
Great atmosphere. Great food.Excellent service!
I love this restaurant so much! There French onion soup is amazing!
Been going there for thirty years! Hamburger still the greatest! Service also good!
Good food super tasty and relatively in expensive I would definitely eat there again
A must visit if youre in Bay Ridge for lunch or dinner. It has a great neighborhood vibe (the bar is always filled with regulars),and its fabulously mismatched decor—think Victorian stained glass meets Irish pub meets... thrift store?—feels like home. Skinflints has the best burger in Bay Ridge, distinctly served on an English muffin.
Good food, good beer, never had a bad time here!
Delicious food and good service
Think Cheers A local bar where everybody knows your name. Great service, good food and most of all a place that feels like home.Like the bars of olde, wood, brass and marble.
Great, really nice Resturant/Bar a step back in time love thereCHICKEN FRANCAISE, among other dishes on there menu, the waitress, bartenders are attentive & pleasant, the place has a grate vibe, very welcoming, they stop delivering at 4pm& Doordash does a bad job, wish they used another service, your customers deserve better service when ordering your take out, please give it a think.
I really dont know who put less than 5 stars in that place because this place is so good in every way !!! For example1.food , like come oon I ordered Dijon and im getting second one right away2.sports and drinks !!3.looking so good,Wow
Very nice outdoor dining set up! Good food, too.
Waiters make guests uncomfortable and that they need to close up. Even if its an hour before closing. Waiters (late night )have no eye contact, inattentive and rude.
Still one of the best burgers in Brooklyn.
The burger sucked. No lettuce, no tomato, and English muffin as buns. And not seasoned. I do not recomend. Eat at your own risk.
Probably my favorite pizza place in town. The chili honey really is the icing on the cake and highlights the fact that this restaurant isnt afraid to go a bit out of its way to give a special pizza experience.
Amazing food, and great service! This is one of the best places to grab a drink and a juicy burger.
44 yrs customer, I had my first ice cream pop n egg creams here every day on my way home from school, I love this place n now my kids n grandkids n friends all come here aswell..however Im a bit dissapointed from my last 2 visits..the food is always good, and the service was always great, until one waiter became mgmnt I think,and hes loud and obnoxious, and a sarcastic ah..heres my experience I asked for the salmon platter and asked particularly what was in the spinach sauteed ?garlic he said ,then I said oh good because Im allergic to other onions. But the spinach came with onions, So I suggested that they include them on the menu because there are ppl out here allergic to onions.(a simple suggestion) another waiter came, got loud ,n bend outta shape all he kept saying was let me know if you need an ambulance because we dont want you to sue us,Ill call you an ambulace..(in sarcasm way) trying to embarrass me in front of my 8 guests..then after I told him politely I was only making a suggestion, I took allergy med .n I was fine, he kept arguing that the spinach had only shallots or scallions!.....lol (onions). Well I wont stop going there because its a fam tradition place for us here in my hometown but I wont be tippin that guy anymore ,the $48.tip better last him.Everyone else, the rest of the staff n bartenders ,cheffs,cooks ,owner all friendly curtious n wonderful.i would give this place a 5 stars if it wasnt for that waiter.
Swiss burger was cooked to perfection, but my pint of Budweiser had a floater in it and the beer was stale. Asked the waiter to let the bartender know the keg was old.
Amazing food and services. Best burger and ribs.
One of the best burgers in bay ridge. Drinks are great they dont skimp on the booze. Service is always excellent.
What else you need? This place is seriously good.Heemm this
Beers are cold, food is good and service is good. Been going here for quite a few years and continue to do so. Established and well know in the neighborhood!
Not a bad place to go, comfortable seating good service. Had a very lovely lunch with my Dad there.
Always fantastic ribs, french dips and especially burgers. Great place nothing fancy. Awesome!
Skinsflints was good. Great service. Great food. Nice spot to visit if your in the neighborhood .
I like this place for the eats and beer. It has been around for sometime now and I never had any problems here. Nice to see a Bay Ridge spot stay in business for so long.
Excellent customer service. Delicious food. Nice ,homey, relaxing atmosphere.
The go to place for great food & great atmosphere. Never had anything there that wasnt delicious. Very comfortable as well.
What can I say? Still a great place after all these years.... Food excellent. Staff great. Atmosphere wonderful
Great drinks and very good food. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Excellent place to hang out on a weekday.
STILL THE BEST BURGER IN BROOKLYN ! AMERICAN MENU, REASONABLY PRICED. LONG TIME OWNERS (BILL & GERARD) ARE THERE ALMOST EVERY DAY & ARE VERY ACCOMODATING IN THEIR OLD FASHIONED EARLY 1940S BARRESTAURANT. FAMILY FRIENDLY. ENOUGH T.V.s TO KEEP SPORTS FANS HAPPY. CANT GO WRONG VISITING THIS BAY RIDGE LAND MARK !
One out ten places that offer burgers as part of their menu or as a STAPLE of their menu cook your burger as requested.....pretty much every time. Skinflints never gets it wrong.
Really great pub, the front is a casual bar where you can just sit and watch sport if you like, while the back is an excellent restaurant.
Food is good ...Love there burgers Bartenders make my drink Malibu Bay Breeze Fantastic
There is a bit of a weird old world vibe to this pub, mixed with a confusing sort of millennial outdoor area, but I really like this place, the food is pretty good, just your standard bar fare, but its a nice place to grab a quick drink

2022-06-23Excellent service from the moment we walked in the door. The owner greeted us and showed us around so we could choose where we wanted to sit. Theres the bar area with the TV screens at the front. Then theres a long and wide dining room, to the left of it theres a smaller dining room which is much more quiet. This smaller room leads to a very nice outdoor dining patio. They also have two very cool and well decorated dining enclosures outside the restaurant. The French onion soup was delicious. I had really great plate of fish and chips. My wife really liked her pasta plate. Service was friendly and very accommodating. We had a great time dining at this restaurant thats been around for over 42 years. We cant wait to go back.

2022-01-17French Onion soup was really good. Burgers on English muffins were not my favorite but everyone else seemed to like them. Service was impeccable. Our server was really friendly and treated our table very well. Drinks were good as well.

2021-11-25I came here on vacation for dinner with my aunt and uncle. We dont have places like this back home. It felt like we were in a scene from a local bar in a holiday movie. They had the place decorated really nice. Staff was very friendly and food was really good. The heat was a little much and I had to go outside a few times to cool down but at one point they cooled the place down and it got better. Definitely would recommend this place.

Review №9
2022-04-26I always liked Skinflints. Moved out of Bklyn years ago, but do visit. Their food was good as usual. Normal bar food. Chicken scampi was delicious. 4 stars for the too old tables, chairs and low lighting in the dining area. One chair was broken and thank God nobody sat on it. The furnishings are just old and need replacing. Lights in dining area need an update too. Why such low lighting? It makes this reviewer think. Im sure the bar area too needs an update. Always packed there so theres no reason to not spruce it up a bit. Just my opinion 🤷

2022-06-21Skinflints has been in business in Bay Ridge 42 years for a reason. The food, drinks and service are incredible. (Best onion soup in NYC BTW). Theres a bar area, indoor dining, sidewalk dining and backyard garden dining. You can order your food as YOU like it- no problem. They are very friendly and attentive.They also deliver.
