I absolutely cannot get service here.

The first time I went to Skinflint's, they told me I would be seated in "a few minutes" then left me standing in the bar until I almost literally passed out from hunger.

The second time they seated me promptly, then completely ignored me. No one even offered to bring me a drink. I felt a black woman trying to eat at a white restaurant in 1950s Georgia.

There will be no third time. Far too many good restaurants in NYC to waste my time a place that treat its customers poorly.

• Pros: None that I can see.
• Cons: What's the point of a restaurant that won't feed you?

Cozy comfort

by tallulahbelle

When dining here, you forget you're in a "pub." It is comfortable and dark. Great menu. sandwiches, ribs, appetizers, chicken potpie all delicious. The only thing on the menu I didn't like was the French onion soup. It has a lighter broth and just wasn't what Im used to. Anyway, overall great place and they have a lovely outdoor dining area with a fountain as well. Service can be a little slow on the weekends.

• Pros: good value, good food
• Cons: crowds=longer waits

This is one of the best places in Bay Ridge.

The food is awesome in a comfort food kinda way. From the creamy to die for mashed potatoes to the amazing spare ribs to the entrees which are never too complicated but always hearty. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are fun and friendly. The crowd is always diverse and the music is usually good. Its the kind of place a single girl can hang out without feeling vulnerable! Check it out!

• Pros: Its old world style in a modern chaos filled world and the outdoor tables in the summer
• Cons: It gets crowded on Fridays and there is a bit of a wait, but what good restaurant isn't like that?
