I had lunch at Brooklyn Diner a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I have not had mac and cheese that good and creamy anywhere. It was really, really good. My lunch partner ordered the 15-bite hot dog, which definitely lives up to its name, but it is surprisingly very good meat despite its size and thickness. I went in for lunch today and had the margherita pizza--not recommended. I'm a New Yorker so I like pizza with a thick crust. BD's pizza was made on a very thin crust, more like a tortilla and it did not have that fresh taste of tomatoes as is typical of a margherita pizza. It was more like a cheese "pizza" tortilla. Their signature strawberry shortcake cheesecake is to die for though. Very rich and creamy, the best I've ever had. The service is excellent. It does get crowded given the location but after 2:00 pm the crowd dies down (for lunch patrons). Overall I like the feel of the restaurant, the menu is varied and the food is good.
Pros: Good food, decent atmosphere, good service
Cons: Expensive, crowded at times
