A no-frills Brooklyn gem serving up iconic double-dipped roast beef sandwiches & cold beer. A true classic done right.
This Brooklyn institution is a no-frills spot celebrated for its classic American comfort food, particularly its legendary roast beef sandwich. Known for its simple yet delicious offerings, it's a place that prioritizes tradition and flavor over fancy presentation. Customers rave about the 'dipped' roast beef, cheese fries, and perfectly chilled beverages.
The star of the show is the roast beef sandwich, often ordered 'dipped' in au jus or with extra broth for dipping. Cheese fries and onion rings are also popular sides. While most find the food to be a simple classic done well, one comment mentioned pale fries.
"The double-dipped roast beef sandwich is highly recommended, often with cheese and onions. The Gargiulo burger and onion rings are also frequently mentioned as must-tries."
Customers overwhelmingly praise the classic, no-frills approach and delicious roast beef sandwiches, though a few find the fries to be pale.
