Village VoiceSeptember 10, 2014Northeast Kingdom makes local, seasonal produce and home-style cooking seem like a rare, otherworldly commodity. Go for the burger! Read more
Serious EatsDecember 10, 2013A Bushwick dining institution with a creative and seasonal New American menu celebrating foraged ingredients and nose-to-tail preparations of locally sourced organic meats.
Victor NnamellenOctober 2, 2014Perfect appertizer and main dish, the chalkboard wine was good for the price and the service and atmosphere was very much above good. We waited 10-15 for our first dish and some 10 main for the main.
My girlfriend's and my favorite burger in NYC - we've been coming here for years & someday we'll have some of their other amazing food (maybe not though because the burger is too good)
KendalJuly 11, 2013Get the Northeast Kingdom burger. As a lover of all things burger I must say it was one of the best I've had. For the first time the toppings meant nothing, it was all about the delicious meat.
Alex MillerJune 21, 2013Awesome drinks and a great atmosphere made for an intimate night out. The homemade ketchup topped off the burger of a lifetime. You also cannot pass up a farm-to-table/sustainable establishment.
ElleJune 19, 2012Favorite neighborhood spot! Great for grabbing drinks. The food is always delicious! Try the NEK burger! It's juicy and so filling, (it's grass fed beef) your mouth will thank you.
Brian SellAugust 27, 2014The specials on the board always hit the mark. Always fresh, local, delicious. AND if you want, one of the best burgers in the city
My fav place in Brooklyn. So delicious. Really fresh, thoughtful and amazing food and cocktails. The burger is to die for.
Abner AcevesSeptember 23, 2015Amazing brunch. Can't go wrong with anything! Really great spot to catch up and hangout with friends. Staff is so nice
Classic Saturday AM cartoons with a fire and drinks while you wait for your table, and Velvet Underground playing softly. Pretty cool.
Jessie RodgerSeptember 3, 2015Everything was delicious! The cocktails, the wine, the food! It was all amazing! I will be going back for sure!
holy moly their duck and pork sirloin dishes are so freaking good. also must get their sweet potato dessert - it was ridic. for cocktails get the sazerac
Sheyla De los SantosSeptember 11, 2013Delicious food and super friendly service. It's my boyfriend's favorite restaurant in the area. Best burger in Bushwick. We love it.
kate shitspatrickJuly 18, 2013Rotating seasonal menu is just incredible. Blackboard says where the meat, seafood and fish come from (all local). Prepare to be impressed.- Boris JonesApril 8, 2015Serving a seasonal menu, the specials are always the finest + freshest, and brunch is always a fun affair. Read more
Michael GillmanSeptember 24, 2012This is one of the finest, freshest, restaurants in the city. The NEK burger is always a fantastic standby once the best specials have run out
David HoltzMay 24, 2016Burgers, fries, Brussels sprouts and drinks were all stellar. The service was not great - we spent a lot of time just waiting around.
amooliaDecember 10, 2011Tons of delicious yummy fancy food but really, just get the NEK burger medium rare and you will be happy. Served with duck fat fried tater tots!
The cheeseburger Benedict rules. Especially if a friend orders the shrimp and grits and shares some sauce. The shrimp and grits is amazing just a little too much sauce
A BCDAugust 5, 2015Cute American restaurant. Good place to take family and friends when they visit. Really good burgers.
Some of the finest dining in the area. Cozy, intimate, and all of the food is fantastic.
Elizabeth KJuly 1, 2011My friend's duck breast was overcooked and they were so fantastic and accommodating about giving her a new portion. They even sent her a glass of wine and salad. Great service!
Kika GMay 7, 2012Peanut butter french toast is the way to go, get it to share. It comes with a scoop of peanut butter ice cream!
Their seasonal menu is a nice runner up to Roberta's when it comes to Bushwick eats. The black trumpet mushrooms were extremely tasty.
katie naglJanuary 17, 2012check out grandma's living room / lounge downstairs and enjoy some duck fat tater tots and a cocktail while you wait for a table.
They have been open for lunch for a few months now. M-F 11:30-2:30. I wish I worked from home more often!
If you have any doubts just go with the burger. The best burger in Bushwick for sure!
Try the tasting menu. It'll change your life. SORRY that this pic is 1/2 way thru course #4...
Amanda BoekelheideMarch 31, 2013Generally delicious though the last couple times I've been here at least one of the items I've ordered has been aggressively over-salted.
The burger is bangin. Get there early on a weekend night. 7:00PM or before and snag a table no problem.
BKbybike NYCMay 18, 2012I've been coming here for 3 years. The chef is phenomenal. Perfect date spot. The food NEVER disappoints.
Madm FiaSeptember 25, 2014The ricotta cheese thing is amazing though a lil heavy. Goes well with a salad.
I don't know what you're going to order to eat, but for drinking, you souldn't neglect the delicious Bloody Mary.
Michael HarrisMarch 3, 2013Incredible brunch spot, claw hammer bbq pork & pancakes was pure insanity on a plate
Christoff FrazierMay 20, 2012I don't want to be that guy, but.... No burger on their brunch menu? The burger is arguable their best menu item. Every other brunch spot in Brooklyn offers a burger. Fail NEK!
