Worst diner in Brooklyn

by shafran at Citysearch

Terrible service, mediocre to bad food - raw meat, no concern whatsoever to presentation, content or taste of food, dirty bathrooms, teenybopper wait staff that huddles and cuddles while you wait an hour for a glass of water, not one person says thank you, and if your food is super bad - nobody says sorry - or is willing to credit you. I live nearby and would love to have a good diner there - but I'm never returning.

  • Pros: parking lot
  • Cons: everythibg else

Never eat here. Never give them your money. Never park there

by nauticalstar at Citysearch

I'm with laura84 on this. I had the same problem happen to me tonight, just that I missed my car being towed and it happened. Lowlife. My boyfriend wanted to beat the little informant p.o.s. that works in the lot. He came very very close.

Go figure that they're Russians. It's not a big surprise in the least bit.

  • Pros: zzz

Disgusting

by magicloop2009 at Citysearch

Dirty bathrooms, raw burgers, cold fries. molded bread on the wraps. Birthday cakes are too sweet tasting. The beers taste like tar. I hear they wanna tare down this palce and make it into condiminiums. Many of the employees aren't American and treat americans like shittttt. Outdoor seating takes forever to serve you, like they waitor/waitresses almost forget you are there. Very noisy, clanking plates. I heard the health inspector visited this place a number of times through out the years. I'm not comming back here.

  • Pros: They'll be going outta business soon I hear............
  • Cons: Expensive

Russian Triads involved scamming with X-treme Body & Fender Inc and P&J Management. BEWARE. The restaurant is scamming everyone who steps foot on the premises. Disgrace

Owner has nothing but contempt for his customers. Avoid!!!

by FreerangeEgo at Citysearch

Avoid at all costs unless you like below-average food complimented by gruff service. The highlight of this place however is the ignorant owner who has nothing but contempt for his customers. If you make any complaint about the food you orderd you will simply be told not to order that meal again. Very helpful!!!

  • Cons: Very poor service. Below-average food. Ignorant owner

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

by seasidehanna at Citysearch

The service was terrible. We had greek salads w/no dressing. When we asked for some, the waitperson looked put out and what she brought back tasted like duck sauce. We only saw her 3 times.

Amazing<3

by Hannaa at Citysearch

I completely disagree with the earlier one star review. I found El Greco a charming place. This summer, I'd spent particular time there and found their outdoor tables comfortable and romantic. And when it got chilly and we headed inside, I found it cozy and adorable. The neon lighting cast a gorgeous glow across the beautiful restaurant and illuminated the handsome features inside. The food here is also impressive, and their desserts are to die for. I'd definitely come here :]]

  • Pros: Setting, design of the restaurant, food, customer service
  • Cons: The bathrooms could be a little cleaner.

good Diner

by dana312 at Citysearch

The food is not bad for a diner. But deserts are the Best! You should stop by and get one to go if you don`t want to have a big meal inside. Just ask somebody which one is the freshest because they make them couple of times a week. They also have a good breakfast.

Worning! Owners are real asholes, don`t talk to them!
