Great neighborhood place
Of all the bars in the area the waterfront has fantastic food, great beers and good service. I thought price was reasonable for the quality of the food. Could be the Cheers of Brooklyn

best burger and fries in the area
there are a lot of burger places in this area, but waterfront has the best. their fries are also amazing. they're always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. their pulled pork sandwich is also amazing!! their service is a little off, but they know the locals well. it's well worth the wait. delicious!

Great Local
I'm a world traveler of over 37 years and a professional waiter in an upscale manhattan steakhouse. This is my "local" and i love the quality of food and service i get here on a regular basis. Life isn't best enjoyed in a hurry and i like to relax and take my time over a few exotic beers from their extensive list. The food while pub grub , is better than any bar food, with very good chef driven creativity...pecan crusted salmon?

Tasty food but poor service
I go here often since the food is consistently good, but the service is almost always lacking -- it would be my one complaint about Waterfront (and the fact that they don't deliver).

Yummy Chili
Nice neighborhood bar atmosphere - jazz band playing on a saturday night for no extra charge. I was very impressed with the food selection and quality. The Texas Style Chili was particularly good, and the rest of the menu looked promising. A nice selection of specialty beers, beers on taps, and they even had a weekly beer special - 3.50 pints of brooklyn lager when we went! Service was friendly and fine, not sure why the other reviewer was upset.

Overpriced and average
I ended up here at the request of a friend who swore that the burgers were excellent, but a little pricey. He was half-right. My burger was a little charred (I asked for medium) but pretty tasty. Service was pretty off. We sipped out beers for 20 minutes before the waitress asked us for our order. I walked out definitely full but with a huge dent in my wallet. It was worth it to try, but the Waterfront Ale House isn't going on my list of favorites.

The best restaurant in the neighborhood
From the beer to the popcorn to the burgers (both beef and veggie tandoori) to the great adventurous specials, Pete's is the best restaurant in the neighborhood hands down.
