This is a great spot to meet up with someone. The hot wings here are fantastic! The other menu itsma are fantastic as well. But the wings are true buffalo style. They're tangy enough and and flavorful! The meals are pretty inexpensive too. I highly recommend trying it out.

Maybe it used to be better. I heard a lot of great things about this place, but was underwhelmed when I finally experienced it for myself. The burger was good but not as amazing as it had been built up to be or worth what they charged for it. The service was average, but again, nothing special. The counters were also a bit greasy which made me glad I was sitting at a table. At least that looked like it had been wiped down recently.

BEST BURGER IN BROOKLYN. I have lived in Brooklyn my whole life. Food is my life and this place has the best burgers . . . SERIOUSLY. The toppings are limited which is just further proof that their meat tastes that good. The wings are also awesome. This is an anniversary joint for me and my guy; beer, wings, and burgers is the best way to celebrate LOVE!

Terrible Service and really the burger isn't that great. Once upon a long time ago, Bonnies was like my favorite place. Their phone number was on speed dial, and I'd get some wings and go to the park. Back in those days they had lovely waitresses who would, you know, ask you if everything was alright and if they could get you something. At some point Bonnies became a dude only institution and now even though there are 6 guys working you will never ever get one to come to your table if you need something. And if you happen to flag one down, he'll tell you that he'll send your waiter over which may or may not happen. Anyway, to get to the real tradegy, I had a burger here last week...and it wasn't half as good as the burger I had the day before at Double Windsor. For a place that is hyped for it's burgers, they have not kept up with Pat LaFrieda and grass fed and whatever else they need to do to stay on the delicious front of the pack. Not worth it. Go to Shake Shack instead.

Best Burger in NY. This is hands-down the best burger I've had in NYC, maybe anywhere. Over two dozen visits now and no variation, just consistently excellent. I have family in Ireland who make this place their first stop when they're stateside. The wings are the real deal too. I'm from Buffalo and I have to say, I suspect these guys are too, because the wings are legit. Also there's a Buffalo Bills helmet on top of the surprisingly well-stocked beer cooler. An often overlooked gem is another Buffalo original, the beef on weck. For you down-staters, it's thinly sliced roast beef au jus on a kummelweck roll (a Polish/German-style roll with caraway seeds and kosher salt), served with horseradish. If you've never had it, I highly recommend it. I like the vegetarian chili a lot too.
