What People Are Saying About DuMont
The Editor

Citysearch
This neighborhood staple is perpetually packed with everyone from groups of Brooklyn hipsters to young couples who canoodle in mix-and-match, leather-upholstered booths, while candlelight flickers off the pressed-tin ceiling. The restaurant is deceptively big, with a hidden room in the back of the restaurant and a large outdoor garden that stays open even in winter due to an inventive heating system. DuMont's tiny, market-fresh menu delivers simple, well-composed plates of updated American fare including everything from an absurdly thick hamburger to the rich "DuMac & Cheese" to roasted…

Plan to go back
by Josie R at Citysearch
I initially had just an OK experience at Dumont and was surprised at all the nice reviews. But as it turns out, they were short-staffed and my experience seemed to be the exception, not the rule. I plan to give them another shot--I hear the burgers are among the best in the city.
- Pros: Atmosphere
- Cons: Can get crowded

Ditto Worst Service complaint
by cobbler at Citysearch
Waited an 1:15 for food for brunch food today. AFTER we were seated. Which might be forgivable if they comped a round of drinks, or at least seemed to seem sorry about the situation. The attitude of most of the staff at this places unbelievable, like they're doing us a favor by giving them money. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, boycott is on.
- Pros: food is decent
- Cons: attitude unforgivable

Late Dinner Let Down
by serialcritic at Citysearch
[CUISINE] Having thoroughly enjoyed burgers and beers at DuMont burger on Bedford ave, I went into this sit down meal with higher than met expectations. For appetizers we had the Crab Cake with Salsa Verde, Avocado Salad & Cilantro and Mushroom soup Du Jour. Both appetizers left something to be desired. The accompaniment of the crab cake with avocado ultimately failed because the richness of the binding ingredient (I'm assuming mayonnaise) combined with the fattiness of the avocado to render its taste all but absent. Also the application of citrus (lime I believe) was extremely overpowering and borderline food abuse. The texture was also disappointing as the cake was somewhat over sized (no doubt to justify the 12$ menu price) and resulted in inconsistent moist firmness and mushiness between the crisp skin. I'd recommend adding an S to the menu and splitting the portion into two among other things. The cream of mushroom soup was passable but it really could have been richer and suffered the lack of additional subtleties in flavor. The DuMac and cheese was as tasty as the dish from their sister restaurant but came out more watery than desired. Sadly the main course was never eaten as both my own and my dates' rare DuMont burgers came out raw. [SERVICE] from host to wait staff the service was attentive and polite although my date did have a difficult time finding a clean spoon and eventually requested a plastic to go spoon. The waitress was considerate doing her best to address our issues with the silverware and burgers and while apologizing profusely for an unsatisfying experience she also notified management who comped the meal without a word being said on our part. All told the dinner was a definite let down but considerate treatment from the staff/management coupled with the fact that we sat for dinner an hour before closing does make me want to give DuMont a second chance in the future.
- Pros: Excellent service, good weekend hours, relaxed atmosphere
- Cons: kitchen dropped the ball
