Where do I start? The moment I walked up to this dinner, it was packed!! But the wait was reasonable. The vintage vibes is the perfect environment for my Sunday funday with my girls. I got the deviled eggs and took the advice of the rest of the reviewers and got the fried chicken sandwich and fries. As an app I got the deviled eggs and everything was divine! The bartender Jill made the best non alcoholic spritz! I drove 2 hours and I’d another 4.
A place that we’ve always wanted to go. The whole experience was great. The interior and menu is so back in 80s and 90s. We had a quick breakfast and absolutely loved it. The staff there were super nice. This will be a great place for regulars to walk in and sit at the bar. Will come back!
We had such a lovely late lunch here. We got to sit outside for the one day of fake spring. The Greek nachos were insanely delicious, as were the mozz sticks and smash burger. Super yummy cocktails too!
I love the feeling of nostalgia when enjoying a nice Sunday morning breakfast. The Fat Rabbit Diner made that possible. The service was top notch in my opinion. The server gave a separate basket for utensils and a personal water jug. The egg and toast were delicious. Coffee is served hot and strong. I enjoyed the outdoor seating and even took the opportunity to read a book. If you pass by stop for a bite, you won't regret it.
Great energy on a Saturday morning! Music is fun and upbeat. Staff was friendly and quick with seating and serving. They genuinely seem to like each other too, which doesn't really impact the food, but definitely adds to the atmosphere. Prices were a bit above what I'd expect for diner fare, but the fun cocktails, vibe, and great service outweighed the few extra
A much needed spot in fort greene! The vibes are immaculate (great playlist of folk / pop folk classics). The food is delicious. The staff is warm. Can’t wait to bring friends and family to check this spot out. I had the chopped cheese and iced barley tea. Loved the chopped cheese! Barley tea you can probably skip, didn’t have a strong taste.
I LOVED this place. The nostalgic decor and feel was so fun and hit my 90s kid heart in the right place. Lots of veggie friendly options which gave me a good selection of options. I went with the chickpea burger which was so tasty and filling. I opted for a side of fries with my meal. We also did churros for dessert which were so perfectly done. Staff were friendly, inviting and attentive. Would definitely come back again and try different things on the menu! Def a good hangout place or a different type of date night stop (very pulp fiction in a good way vibe!)
The perfect ambient lightning coupled with slow down tempo pop music with the most casual of dishes — this place is vibes. Don't ever change.
