Bonnie's Grill

Bonnie’s Grill has been around for over 20 years, and it’s cemented itself as Park Slope's premier spot for casual weeknight feasts. The restaurant is never too crowded, but you’ll always find at least a few red meat-loving locals who stop in regularly for beer, burgers, chicken wings, and whatever game is on. They perch at the bar and wrangle their stacked burger, or hunch over a table and then promptly cover it in buffalo sauce-soaked napkins. That burger is classic in all the right ways—it comes with fries, for example—and those wings are so saucy that you will debate asking for a spoon and sipping it like soup. (For the record, nobody here would bat an eye.)

Wings

Order at least five of these. They’re ultra-crispy, and tossed in a buttery buffalo sauce just before they arrive at your table. That’s what makes them some of the city’s best.

Burgers

This is a comforting, classic burger. Like a cookout burger, if your friend wasn’t cooking it to an unsatisfactory color of gray. A thick patty smothered in a smoky spice rub, stacked with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on a sesame brioche bun. Like they used to do in the old days, before you needed a special sauce or caramelized onions to be cool.

Chipotle Mayo

A moment for the best condiment in the area. Put it on your fries. Your burger. A spoon. It’s smoky and creamy, with just a touch of sweetness, and a hint of spice.
