The crab cake omelette was awesome. Everything's always amazing and it's always chill. Arrive before noon to avoid brunch crowds on weekends.
had the burger as intended, even though i'm not a big fan of pickles, and it was delicious! the skin-on fries were amazing too! plus, it's only two blocks from my apartment. i'll be back again!
Time Out New YorkJune 19, 2013Dan Ross-Leutwyler puts an international spin on the mid-20th-century luncheonette. The tasty and affordable plates leave you with more than enough bills for a rich, buttery slice of banana-cream pie. Read more
Emily GrossApril 25, 2013One of NYC's best burgers, try it & be amazed. Such a little gem of a spot, and really nice staff. Would like to keep this place my little secret, but it's just that good that I had to share. Enjoy!
David RosenbergMarch 28, 2014Can't decide between the storied cheeseburger and the fried chicken sandwich? Come with a friend and get both obviously! And don't forget to 'box them with collards and fries.
Umair ZiaSeptember 28, 2014The iced coffee here rules. The burger is so good (Paula Dean level rich and buttery, minus the racism) and the chicken burger is decent. Shrimp/corn fritters worth it too.
Nate SAugust 10, 2014Ordering the burger is a no-brainer (it's probably why you're here anyway), but skip the fries and go with the potato salad. Oh, and order a slice of pie (lovingly made at Wburg's Pies n Thighs).
Get the burger & a side bcs it's small. If you order fried chix sandwich ask for house pickles & hot sauce, which make it work. Dumplings are absolutely lovely but a small portion. Banana pie ftw.- Come for brunch, sit on the sunny back patio and get the breakfast sandwich with eggs and a sausage patty. It's a party
The lamb sandwich was great but the cheeseburger was killer. Mushroom salad was great too - we'll be back to try more! Currently serving pies from pies n thighs.
PatrickMay 20, 2015Definitely best burger in Brooklyn, possibly in all of NYC. ITS THAT GOOD. But seriously don't come here. I really enjoy the current short wait time.- Boris JonesApril 8, 2015Fritzl’s is great for a simple lunch. Sit in the garden out back for 100% lunch-at-grandmas vibes, vinyl tablecloths, mismatched plates and all. Read more
Village VoiceSeptember 10, 2014You must try the cheek-and-chuck patty! It's tender and savory, topped with cheese, pickles and onions. Read more
The burger and fries are awesome. Order it medium, it's soft and juicy, never overcooked. Medium rare is like, red. Potatoe salad is more german style, not creamy. Side salad is tasty and salty.- Village VoiceSeptember 12, 2013You have to try the classic cheeseburger with the charred miso aioli. It is a one of a kind sauce that you do not want to pass up!
Nick ReischAugust 23, 2013Such a great hamburger and really nice outdoor area. Also had the beer battered cauliflowers; loved the hot sauce with the ginger.
Scott LustigJune 27, 2015Had a great brunch! Recommend the crab cake omelet and breakfast sandwich. Don't miss the buffalo home fries!
Hiroko TabuchiMay 17, 2015Great, original brunch menu & fun patio. Loved the mushroom on toast and fried chicken sandwich.
ChelseaJuly 11, 2013New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue says Chef Dan Ross-Leutwyler's "house-ground mix is cheek and chuck, and it will make you glad you're not a vegan."
Ray LinJuly 7, 2013The best burger in Brooklyn. Yeah, you heard me. The sesame bun is perfect. Fun fact: Owned by former Vinegar Hill House chef.
Loved that fried chicken sandwich and the beer battered sweet potato, also got the crispy lamb sandwich...really tasty.
Eva MiliJanuary 11, 2015high quality food and beverage served and cooked by people who care. creative, delicious food
Katie EytchApril 19, 2016The burger is definitely pretty good. Also filling. Would be cool if they had a dessert situation.
- Only had the burger once, but this one was the best I've had in the hood. Better than ne kingdom
Rebecca SutterSeptember 27, 2013Burger, you were fine. Server, judging by your inability to take an order and your infrequent appearances, I wasn't sure if you worked here or just showed up off the street hoping for tips.
Kirill SevastyanenkoAugust 19, 2014Great burger, a large selection of beers, seating in the backyard garden available
Dannie AshleyAugust 16, 2014The cheeseburger. The rest of the menu is great, but just trust me and get the burger.
Tyler ReinhardMarch 22, 2015this place is casual but takes itself seriously. kind of a rare format in the neighborhood but great when you want a burger for lunch.
Mer IciMarch 27, 2016came here a few times and usually ordered the chicken sandwhich. the first time was perfect but found it inconsistent.
Lea CeasrineAugust 8, 2015Pretty decent veggie burger. Is it weird I fell in love with the mixed salad more?
corinne almirolJuly 7, 2013the burger is delicious. order it medium, add some cheese and relish in the relish.
Stop by around 9 or 10 and see the family of raccoons march along the fence!
DANGER TAMMarch 18, 2014Fried curry cauliflower is your new, fancy sweet and sour chicken. But probably healthier.
Serious EatsMay 20, 2013Fritzl's makes a worthy pub-style burger in a neighborhood lacking in good burger options.
You have to get the terrine with fermented radishes. To die for.
