Poor Service 3/5/2007

I am sorry to say that we experienced poor service at Dizzy's this past Sunday for brunch. My friends were visiting from out of town and I decided to wow them with a filling and inventive Sunday brunch at the end of their visit. Host and food were great, but the waitress rushed us to order (and later, to pay), forgot our drinks, and snatched up the tip while we were still finishing our coffee and proceeded to tell us to move along because they needed the table. Meanwhile, the couples on either side of us had been there well before we were seated (we weren't taking a very long time to order and eat). My guests and I felt very awkward and our nice brunch was ruined. Pros: Good breakfast/brunch menu, location Cons: Rude waitress more

Weekends bad, rest of week good! 2/21/2007

Complaints about Dizzy's brunch are well-founded, but it's an entirely different place during the week. I would never dream of going there on a weekend, and I live pretty close to the place. During the week the place is welcoming, usually not overcrowded, and not overpriced, which is why I find myself there at least once a week. The food is always good to very good and the service is always friendly at worst. It's also a different experience for dinner, when they class up the joint a bit with mood lighting and tablecloths. It certainly isn't inexpensive to eat there, but that's Park Slope for you. I never feel like I've overpaid for a meal. But again, weekend brunches at Dizzy's are for the foolish and desperate. Pros: Service, food, prices, and ambience during the week. Cons: Service, food, prices, and ambience on the weekend. more

Dizzy is the worst 8/17/2006

Dizzy is perhaps the worst place to get brunch. The waits is long, waitstaff rude and food mediocre. We went there on a sunday for brunch. It took the hostess 10 mintues before she even took our names down. Once we were seated a rude waiter handled us dirty (with food sticking on the backside) menus. To top it off the menu for brunch is pre-fix, you have to pay $13 and get coffee and juice even though all you want is some eggs. This is the worst place. Do not go there, there are plenty of other options in park slope. Cons: rude waitstaff. long wait. dirty and inflexible menu more

User review by pamantha 4/27/2006

The raspberry/marscapone-stuffed pancakes are so divine it's actually worth putting up with the rude and incompetent service. more

China Girl? 4/20/2006

I'm sorry, but don't you think it's offensive to name a dish on your menu ""China Girl""? Why is this acceptable even though no one in their right mind in this day and age would call a dish ""Black Boy""? After complaining to the owner, who said he would change the menu, it still hasn't changed. They should be embarrassed of themselves. more

LOVE this place! 4/1/2006

I just stumbled across this spot (I live in the area) and completely disagree with the last two reviews. This place has GREAT breakfasts (chocolate stuffed french toast is to die for) and the sandwiches are delicious. Yes, it's a little pricey, but definitely well worth it. Pros: food Cons: atmosphere, small more

Dizzy's = Dizzying Foods 3/30/2006

Recently rent to Dizzy's for the 2nd time. Both times the food was excellent, but you also have to give them a reason to shine. I got the lumberjack-esque dish so everything was good but pretty standard, my beau was smart and got a Reuben and it was stellar - the best we've ever had! Very good fries too. Banana pancakes were amazing... not too sweet, but extremely flavorful. Huervos rancheros are also excellent. A very solid and fun place with a retro vibe! Pros: Delicious food, Cute atmosphere, Outdoor seating Cons: Too many strollers, Too busy at lunch, Not many tables more

Dizzying Prices 10/1/2005

Went to Dizzy's for brunch based on good reviews read on this site, and was very disappointed. The brunch entrees were shockingly overpriced, even for the area, and especially given the food quality. I had the three egg omelette with fillings of your choice, and for a whopping $13 received a dish with a lot of one ingredient and none of the other, and a side of anemic homefries. Service was adequate, but not overly helpful or friendly. Will not return. Pros: outdoor seating, unlimited coffee Cons: prices, food quality, service more

Comfort food and a neighborhood institution! 6/8/2005

I have been going to Dizzys at least once a week for lunch and it has become a ritual I can not live without. I live for the daily sandwich special and an RC cola. The service is always friendly and prompt. Whether you sit at a booth, up at the counter, or out on the sidewalk cafe, there isnt a bad seat in the house. I love picking up a picnic on my way up to a Celebrate Brooklyn concert or just stopping in for a cup of joe and Coltrane wrecked hard (scrambled egg with sausage on a bagel) on my way to work. The house bread is nutty and fresh truly special. Brunch lines can be long so get there early though. I can not say enough great things about Dizzys. If you are looking for quality comfort eats in Park Slope this is the place! Pros: Food!, Inexpensive!, Location! Cons: cozy, parking more

Fruit Salad that's actually got something to say. 6/7/2005

Dizzy's is not a regualr spot for me but I just stopped in for breakfast toady. I never get fruit salad from resaurants because I am usually so dissapointed, but today I tried thier ""power breakfast"", and was blown away. They had cut up mango, kiwi, raspberries, blueberries, and peaches (along with the ubiquitous melon)!! They served it with the standard granola and yogurt, but it was really incredibly good. I don't expect you would find this in mid winter, but I 'd probably opt for a more stick to the ribs meal anyway. Anyway I thought I would tell you what I found. Pros: Fruit Salad, Quiet Outdoor Seating, Great service Cons: Big Portions, rough around edges more

Good food and friendly service! 4/26/2005

Caesar salad and vegetarian chili was really yummy! Attractive waitstaff and hetfy portions! I recommend trying it, but avoid the booth seating on the right when you walk in - no leg room and awkward table height! Pros: outdoor seating more

Mediocre food, horrible service 8/27/2003

The wait staff is usually too busy and inexperienced to be competent. The food is eh--the fries are very good, but nothing else is at all interesting. Not worth what you are paying for it--especially after waiting half an hour. Also, the A/C sucks. I'll second the recommedation for the Purity--which has much faster, better service at half the price and a whole lot more selection. more

$15.00 hot dog?-NOT CUTE 1/16/2003

I usually just come and have the hot Reuben. Yummy, and don't even notice the price. We brought a friend and his son, with our 2 young children for Brunch. HUGE MISTAKE!! Even though the kids only had pancakes, and they could NOT for the life of them figure out how to put chicken on a salad; we paid over $100.00 for 6 of us. 2 orders were screwed up, so he had to sit waiting while we ate and vice versa. The waitress had an ongoing diatribe with a waiter the whole time she served us-it was ALL BAD!! I""m boycotting. Pros: Reuben, Good Daytime waiter Cons: Ripoff Brunch, Snottty waitresses, Awful service more

FoodE 12/26/2002

Dizzy's is very overrated by unknowing diners. The food is skimpyand overpriced; a former wonderful cook has left a huge vacuum. Service is adequate but the place doesn't have enough room. Try Second Street Cafe on 7th Ave. for better and always consistent food and service. Pros: Decent atmosphere Cons: Crowded, Skimpy Portions more

The Slope needs better restaurants 11/24/2002

With all the new restaurants in the Slope opening up, and providing some good dining options, the old standbys better look out. Their average fare was fine when there was no competition. This place has standby carb loaded, average comfort food that doesn't travel well at all on delivery or pickup. The delivery is usually mixed up, and sometimes you don't get what you ordered. A little pricey in my opinion for the quality, soggy fries came with sandwiches, although their coleslaw is really good. I use to always get the turkey club, until recently where I have gotten more bread than turkey. We've decided not to go back. more

boy, is this over-rated 11/14/2002

Park Slope, north of 5th Ave. is severly lacking in good food. Mediocre restaurants simply need to serve up breakfast or brunch and the crowds come. Dizzy's bills itself as a ""finer diner"" and this is the truth. The question is whether the finer part, a few little muffins and strawberry butter, warrant long lines, crowded seating and expensive eggs. I don't think so. I just think Park Slope residents are suffering from a lack of options. Hint: take a car ride to Bayridge or Bensonhurst and try a real diner. No strawberry butter. Big menus, big tables, low prices, and a staff of characters with true Brooklyn flavor. more

A great brunch spot 10/23/2002

I love this place! Go for the mini-breads and strawberry butter that come as soon as you sit down. We were at our table for a long time at brunch and the staff was very attentive even after the food was long gone. Pros: service, mini-muffins Cons: crowded more
