Brooklyn Burger Bar is now

Flipsters? Burgers, Dogs, Shakes, Sundaes.

Same owners?

Same yellow awning, different name.

I wonder if their veggie burger still sucks.

Seriously? I was there last week, and it was still called Brooklyn Burger Bar. I have only been to that place twice, but both times it had bad service. my most recent visit, the waitress was nice, but she was super busy. How can they only have one waitress during the day, on July 4th much less??

I've given up on that location. I've had 2 lame experiences there with the last two incarnations. i doubt i'm going back tp try flipsters.

How could such prime real estate always house such mediocre restaurants?

Pretty cool interior, too, how it's a bit sub-street-level.

I've been there once. Liked the burger (which doesn't say a ton, since I'm easy to please when it comes to burgers, so long as it's not bland or over-cooked), but we also had pretty awful service. Wasn't really planning on going back, but who knows, maybe this new place has decent food despite their awful name. After all, Eurotrip has probably THE worst name (and graphic design to go along with it) I've ever seen, but the food and service is really good.

Flipster? Are you flipping kidding me? Whatever they're smoking, they need to pass that stuff over here.

new2hood · July 2008

anyone know if it's same place w/new name, or are there new owners/management involved and/or a new menu?

whatever. mediocre burger.

wasn't at Bar Minnow enough to give it much of a chance, but always heard horror stories, unlike the actual Minnow, which I miss. never went to Fava.

someone with a brain needs to take over the space. it's actually a pretty nice one.

FLIPSTERS! Lord, it's so stupid it's damned near hypnotic.

The only way to describe Flipsters is half assed.

I live next store to this place and, as I'm outside smoking or lurking around, I constantly hear people pass by and comment on how good it is. I see people wander in as if guided by an imaginary welcoming hand.

I just don't get it. The burgers SUCK. The wings SUCK. The rolls they trot out absolutely suck... we are taking $1.99 a pack shitty picnic bullshit rolls.

So, I go in there quite a bit. Last time was the first time since the name change. I like to order a turkey burger with cheese, sweet potato fries, and a beer... I leave a $20 which covers the meal and a big tip.

I get my bill during my last visit and it's over $20 - they charged me $4 for the fries... I was told something about menu changes (which hasn't changed) and various combinations of burgers and fries (which were not listed anywhere). I actually complained in a manner which, in most places, would have had the $4 removed from the bill... a $4 which I would have gladly added to the tip.

Who are these people that like this place?

shitty picnic bullshit rolls

doo-dah/doo-dah

I haven't been in this dump in months. I'd only patronized it for takeout but they managed to bungle even that. All three times I went, it took them about twenty minutes to get the order prepared. They wanted to charge me something like three dollars more to substitute sweet potato fries for regular fries with my burger even though the prices are the same if you get them a la carte.
