This no-frills neighborhood spot, located near the Prospect Park B/Q stop at Flatbush Ave, is a great option if you want to treat the family to a reasonably priced Saturday brunch. You can order a burger for less than $10, which isn’t an easy find in this city. There is plenty on the menu for kids to enjoy as well as some hearty comfort foods for adults, including a slow-cooked brisket sandwich and autumn vegetable chicken pot pie. The beverages are just as satisfying as the cuisine; the bartender makes a solid bloody mary and mimosa. You can challenge your kids to a game of pool in the large laid-back lounge space in the front – just be sure to let them win. And the backyard patio is a nice addition when the weather is nice.
