The General Greene

Brooklyn, NY 11205
718-625-12448
We ate here last week (about 3 weeks after it opened). The service couldn’t have been friendlier and they have great children plates (not chicken fingers and fries only thankfully). They had lots of options: lamb, burger, squash, beans etc. All small sized plates that are perfect for tasting and for a child. They have highchairs and some vintage bikes in the back that are a fun diversion for children.  The atmosphere is casual and salvage. We liked it- it definitely has great promise.

No doubt you’ve heard of the cheesecake, so thick that you practically need a knife to cut it, but there’s much more to this landmark diner. Sit in an enormous vinyl booth and enjoy old-school service from waiters sporting bow ties and vests. Wash down the huge portions with an old-fashioned egg cream.
