Brooklyn Beet Company

Great place.

The service is great, burgers are awesome and wine was tasty. Come here with an empty stomach as the burgers are massive (and the buns are deep fried and wrapped around the meat!) downside? It’s small and we felt like we were being obnoxious to others, there was five of us so it was a bit loud. It was also very, very cold. But, regardless, we’ll be back!

Am I in Bay Ridge or Park Slope? I seriously had to double take when I saw a farm to table restaurant in the middle of Bay Ridge. It’s probably the first and only of its kind. Anyway… after seeing all the great reviews on Unilocal I thought I’d give it a try.
From the drinks all the way to the dessert this place hit the spot. I know it might be cliché to say seeing how this is a farm to table restaurant, but the one word to describe their food is fresh. Me and my girlfriend just looked at each other after every initial bite of our food and said wow. She had the Korzo burger which she loved and I had the schnitzel which was really good. It came with a side salad and it was possibly the highlight of the meal. Yeah i know a side salad, but as all of the veggies were just so flavorful. I initially thought farm to table was more of a gimmick than anything, but I was wrong.
Only complaint is the place is small. They have some tables where you will have to share the table similar to a beer garden. Not a huge deal to me, but I can see why it would be to others.
We will be back and would 100% recommend.

The place is really, really tiny. I think at most they can seat 12 – 16 people at a time. But the food was delicious nonetheless!
My boyfriend ordered the shrimp/​crab cakes which were SO delicious! We both had their special burger for dinner and that was really good as well. The beef was good quality, cooked really well, juicy. It was oily and a little messy, but hey, it happens.
I was recommended to order the bacon wrapped dates. Tried it. I didn’t love it but that’s probably just because my preference for mixing sweet and salty is limited. Feta cheese also is not my favorite thing so that probably played a role in my opinion of the appetizer.
But crab cakes — do it. Burgers — do it.

The best veggie burger in my life!
Seriously! Burger with beet.
If you like veggie burgers must go place.
Best buy for $ 16 this month.

What a great homey place.
Very small so come prepared with an umbrella stroller.
Service isn’t super fasts… There is usually one guy running the tables and playing the bartender role so don’t be in a rush when you come.
Came for brunch twice and was VERY impressed with the food. Fried burger. Beef with eggs. Beer is good and fresh too.

After seeing a couple of reviews and hearing about this restaurant I def wanted to try it. My first impression, it was tiny! I’m really not happy that if I’m out I have to share a table with strangers but lucky we scored a two top on the side by ourselves. I know this restaurant boasts that it is farm to table and you can tell with the quality. It’s fresh and super flavorful and hearty.
We started with a crop salad it had tart apples, poached egg, porcini dumplings, feta cheese roasted chick peas and a light dressing. What a great start.
This restaurant is know for their fried burger in dough unfortunately we messed up in ordering the burger but it still was really tasty. We ordered it unfried.
We also ordered the short rib special which was delicious it fell apart. It was really flavorful. The grits were creamy and the Brussels were garlicky and delicious.
For dessert we had langos Bön Bön which was fried dough covered in a berry compote, with berries caramel sauce and fresh whip cream it was so delicious. A great ending!
Overall The food here is really good and I would def come back. You can tell they put a lot of love into the cooking here.

Went there around 6 in the evening on new years eve and got a table right away (whew, didn’t make reservations). I ordered the Brisket Goulash and my girlfriend ordered the Korzo burger original. It took a little while for the food to come out, but nothing crazy.
The Korzo burger was cooked medium rare as requested and had a hot fried bun holding in the goods. It came with a small cole slaw and these stringy fries that were delicious. Had the fries with the beet ketchup and the hot sauce. The burger was okay for my girlfriend, she added some ketchup and hot sauce to supplement the flavor.
The brisket goulash came out nice and hot with sides of pita bread around the bowl. Used the pita bread to dip into the goulash and try the beet ketchup. The goulash was definitely delicious and had a small kick to it that really worked well.
Will come back sometime and try some other things, recommend the beef goulash for sure.

Wow. Amazing find in the middle of bay ridge.
The food was outstanding. We ordered the goulash, skirt steak, and «paella». For dessert we ordered the puff pastry dessert with cream. As well as the wine filled chocolates. (The names escape me)
They specialize in locally sourced food. The sources of their meat and vegetables are listed on the chalkboard right next to a awkwardly funny looking painting. Very in touch with what everyone is looking for three days.
Everything was excellent.
Nothing more to say. I’ll be back!

Too good to be true!
Went there twice with friends.
The burgers are always perfect. They fried the Burger bun and still get a perfect medium rare meat.
Overall experience at this place for us was great. We really enjoyed every plate we ordered. I would recommend this place to friends who want to experience the whole new world of burgers.
Thumb up for in-​house beat sauce !

I finally got to try this place courtesy of rainy weather! My friend and I were in the area and needed to find a place for dinner before we got drenched and luckily there was an open table when we got here. We ordered the original Korzo burger and a seafood risotto (?) If you just look at the food, it looks like it would be a good amount and not to filling, but about halfway through our food, it was starting to hit us. Both dishes were delicious and I absolutely loved the beet ketchup, I think I could put that on everything.
The staff here is very friendly, especially since it was our first time trying this place! Our waiter took the time to tell us what they’re known for and what goes into their dishes. I don’t recommend coming here with a large group because it is a small and cozy space, but it doesn’t take away from its charm. Probably good to come with 2 – 3 friends and just unwind whether for brunch, lunch or dinner. I would love to come back and try other menu items and I will definitely be back.

This place is absolutely amazing. The beets ketchup and mustard was very good. The Korzo Burger was very unique and worth a try. This a great spot for brunch and it’s very easy to find parking. The wait here was almost an hour tho.

Came here with some friends for lunch. Restaurant is a little small and seating a little tight, but nice looking restaurant. Menu is a little small and didn’t really see any options for appetizer on the brunch menu.
Had the slav korzo burger. It took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was well worth the wait. Their burger is a little more unique than other places. The patty is wrapped in a bread/​pastry. Almost like a beef wellington. It was juicy and flavorful.
Would like to come back to see how good their other items are on the menu. Good service and fresh ingredients. Not a recommended location for large groups.

Loved the ambiance didn’t mind the communal tables either since we came late it wasn’t too packed
Got a bottle of red
Got the original famous burger asked for it plain with cheese it was everything I’d hoped for and then some.
Hubby described it as a burger inside a jelly doughnut because of the sweet dough. Amazing.
Hubby got the waitresses recommended dish the goulash or something it was not good too chewy and rather bland far from memorable
Asked for another burger for us to share same way plain with cheese just bacon on the side since he eats pork and I don’t. Next one comes out I bite in and almost gag they put celery in it as the crunch pickles typically provide. I’m allergic to celery and no where did it state that they use it. I asked the waitress if maybe she gave us someone else’s order or if they were just rushing because the kitchen was closing when we ordered and it still took 20 min to get the burger. Well her reply was sometime they use it and sometimes they dont and I could pick it out since it was on top. No apologies nothing. I get that a film crew came in and your alone and busy but honestly lady not cool. Instead I eagerly awaited my dessert of beet cake.
Beet cake tasted like carrot cake slice was huge forgot to take a pic. Actually too sweet for my taste. Thought she’d comp it since we had the celery incident but no such luck.

Never really liked beets until the recent yr when i had a really tasty beet salad so when i found this spot on Unilocal!Wanted to come here for date night but ended up makin for brunch date instead. Its a very small restaurant so i was glad we came for brunch instead cos we totally did not think of makin reservations for dinner. Our waiter (a younger gentleman, there was an older waiter who didnt really work w us at our table) was very nice, answered all of our questions, checked on us, introduced us to the specials (we had the clam chowder soup – so good! Not too heavy and definitely hearty! And then we had the dessert – it totally topped off the whole meal and was such a happy camper for the rest of the day!) overall, great experience!!! Will def come back!

I have given this restaurant a few tries, mainly because I love beets and also my friends love coming here. I wouldn’t recommend brunch here, it simply isn’t that good. I’ve tried the korzo burger but I’m not a fan of the fried bun.
Since it’s farm to table, they have specials that change like every week. I came here with my friends who was there earlier in the week for the oxtail but they didn’t have it on the menu anymore.
We had the chicken schnitzel, short ribs, and duck confit. Extra big portions at a criminal price. The chicken schnitzel was crispy and perfectly cooked with garlic mashed potatoes and salad. I love love love their salad, it comes with BEETS and a palate cleansing dressing, light with the perfect amount of herbs (dill maybe?). The short ribs were a special and could have been cooked a little longer but it was still tasty. The duck was my least favorite, again could have been cooked longer so it could be more moist but still had good flavor.
Everything here just tastes so fresh, never too salty, I love it! I love their beet ketchup and hot sauce!

I noticed lately I only write a review right away when either the place is really horrible, or really darn good. And this place is really darn good. I came for brunch and I was intrigued by the menu! It was a tough decision making up my mind because I wanted to try everything even though I came with my head set on their famous korzo burger. Anyways, I stuck with my original choice and got the korzo burger while my boyfriend had the halusky & german sausage hash platter.
ORIGINAL KORZO BURGER — deep fried bun is the classical standard bun… but you can have it grilled instead if you wanna be the healthy party pooper. Fried is the good shit though… the way to go as what my waiter told me so I listened and no regrets! The bun added a sweet yet soft crispy pastry bun taste to the juicy savory burger patty. I’m a huge fan on burgers… and this is quite possibly on top of my list for one of the best burgers I’ve had!
HALUSKY & GERMAN SAUSAGE HASH — my goodness this is one hell of a perfect breakfast platter. Halusky is pretty much just potatoes, but cutted out more into a short noodle form. The halusky was cooked to the right crispyness touch to the platter while the caramelized onions and peppers were soft and also a juicy flavorful addition. Runny eggs with sausage too on this plate?! Can’t get any better than that.
&Thank you to our waiter who hooked us up on the salad! He saw me and my boyfriend debating back and fourth if we should have fries with my burger or salad! Hahah
I’ll definately be back to try the rest of the items on the brunch menu… And I can’t wait to try this place out for dinner with the other Korzo burgers they offer!

This place is fantastic. I came in with my girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon for late lunch. The bartender/​waiter guy welcomed us in (he was chill, polite, and attentive), and we first went to the back outdoor area, but we were in shorts and it was kind of chilly so we went back inside.
I got what I think was the house beer and it was delicious-​dark, smooth, and relaxing. We got The Pickle appetizer, which is pickled vegetables, some pita, and a feta smokey paprika spread. Delicious.
I then got the beet burger which is just amazing. It was better than the original beef burger (which my girlfriend got) imo. It comes with fries and some slaw, which complement the burger well. Seriously, it’s so good, try it.
Ten outta ten.

Warning– this is going to be a glowing review. I think I’m in love.
Ambiance: a railroad-​style restaurant with an industrial/​organic feel; think brick and wood. You walk in though the open wall and first encounter a narrow bar. All seats are past this; there are several stand-​alone tables (very tiny) and a long row of communal booths. The set-​up is perfect for either an intimate dinner or an opportunity to chat with your neighbors. I’m a sucker for a good ceiling, yes I know I have a problem, and don’t forget to look up at the original tin ceiling– gorgeous.
Service: our server was great. He gladly offered tastes of wine and beer, and he was able to accommodate my husbands’ numerous allergies (though I think he might have had something since he had a very slight reaction). Nevertheless, the service is stellar.
Food/​drinks: I am not a drinker, but I do like an occasional glass of wine. I had one of the best reds, from Hungary, that I have tasted. There are a bunch of creative cocktails as well. The food has a Hungarian bent– pickled veggies, meats, Spätzle, and of course beets. Try the pickle plate for a nice light app, which comes with a thick feta spread and home made flat bread. I overdid it and has the Wunderwurst plate too. Delicious, but too much before my entrée– the quinoa trout salad, which was not exactly what I expected. I thought the trout would be chopped up in the salad. Instead, there was a large, perfectly cooked fillet atop the salad. The skin was perfectly crisp while the meat was moist and tender. I ended up taking leftovers home and not having room for dessert. I will definitely return.

Who can resist a laid back restaurant that is equipped with chill staff and good food? As a beet lover, I was pulled in by the name of the establishment. As a constant hungry hippo, I was attracted by their food and drinks menu.
We each had a burger and it was finger-​licking good. I would’ve finished my plate if I had not inhaled their equally amazing appetizers. Dumplings, dates, and a salad were what we ordered and if I may, try them all. They are so worth the unbuttoning of your pants.
