Brooklyn Burger is my fave, followed closely by the crispy chicken sandwich. They always have good beers on tap and have a $4 Mystery wine that has never disappointed.
Atmosphere is loud and full of bros and boobs, but it's located next to Kits Beach and is the perfect place to hang after a day outside.
