Lived in Brooklyn my whole life. These three (four with L&B) are part of my life's story. They are some of the reasons I don't leave the city, no matter how horrendous it has become the last few years.
I used to go to these three in the early eighties. RNR was the go to place late at night. John’s had a special every day. The roast beef was Wednesday or Thursday. The meat and the gravy was kept hot and the fresh mozzarella would melt without going in the oven. But Brennan & Carr was my favorite. Double dip.
Brennan and Carr - my dear mother-in-law's (Brooklyn born and raised) favorite restaurant, may she rest in peace. So nice to see it still in operation! Enjoy!!
Went to Brennan & Carr 10 days ago Visiting from UK and Richie was amazing. He wanted to talk to us and get to know why we came and what did we think. He was so great and the recommendation of the blueberry pie a la mode was awesome. Spectacular place and will be back soon.
I went to Brennan and Carr today. Absolutely delicious! I had two Hot Roast Beef sandwiches (Dingle Dangle) style! The gravy was so flavorful and the meat was tender and delicious. It is all the way in Southern Brooklyn, but it’s worth taking 2 subway rides and a bus to eat this delicious sandwich!!
Thank you so very much for bring out the New York Roast Beef connection. NYC has the best roast beef. I grew in Howard Beach and my best memories are a big roast beef sandwich with a new pickle at the Big Bow Wow with my Grandfather as a kid. Thanks for bringing back the memories Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
I look forward to the content on your channel! South brooklyn :). Great reviews. Even though I live here all my life i still discover new things thru the videos. Fun. Mill Basin Deli, Fillmore Diner, Dollys, Brennan and Carrs, totally. Thanks Here Be Barr.
Being from Brooklyn Roll-n-Roaster was a staple. If we wanted to get fancy with a date it was Brennan & Carr. Had to drive through south Brooklyn 2 weeks ago and stopped at RNR. Love your videos.
Hi, how are you? Another Lovely video about NYC, thank you so much. I enjoy watching your video’s about Brooklyn, Manhatten etc. I’m not from the USA but from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Did you know that Brooklyn is from Breukelen? NYC used to be Dutch, New Amsterdam. Anyway I love Brooklyn, Beautyfull architecture and I can see why you prefer living in Brooklyn rather than Manhatten. Roast Beef sandwich, you enjoy it😂too much gravy. I like broodje Rossbief dry. Anyway keep ‘em coming, the video’s. I liked the one about the blizzard. I kept watching because you have a soothing voice, it calmed me😂😝🙏
I used to go to all of these places when I used to work near Coney Island. They were all wonderful places. It is quite out of the way, but if you go, you won't be disappointed.
Roll n Roaster is an institution in Brooklyn! My mom and dad would go during high school in the 70s and now take me and my sister! Spumoni gardens is also a family favorite! Had my brothers birthday there! Amazing pizza and spumoni ices! There used to be a Brennan and Car in Rockville Centre that I loved but since it closed we have to make our way to Brooklyn (which we don't mind!).
John Great video. I live 5 minutes away from Roll N Roaster. Eventhough they are famous for their roast beef sandwiches. They have great food as well. I have gone to Roll N Roaster prior going to the Movies which is about a 10 minute walk. Sadly across the street there use to be a restaurant called Il Fornetto which had entertainment on Saturday Nights Pandemic came Land got bought out and rumor is condominiums are going up.
I think the roast beef flies under the radar because many cannot make it right: they either don't cook the beef tender enough or they cut it too thick for a sandwich. So because of that, most ppl go for the more famous sandwiches because they're "easier" to get right.
i live right down the road from brennan and carr i been eating there since im a kid my go to is roastbeef with cheese and sauteed onions double dipped at some points id eat it every day lol my stomach wasnt as pleased as my mouth
Drenched in the beautiful gravy allllll the way...... Amen and never forget your local Mom n Pops...... They're who loved you through high school and beyond, it's called LOYALTY.
Nice video. Roll Roaster is my spot it's kind of a fast food roast beef sandwich place however I heard Brennan & Carr is good but there sauce makes there bread to soggy. I'm definitely going to try John's deli sandwich.
Ok gotta say many times i disagree with the pics but this time you hit it out of the park, I drive from northern Jersey all the time to specifically hit these spots. NICE Job
I found out 38 years ago due to a health issue I could no longer eat beef but I watched this and it really made me miss it-keep up the good work Jon I love all your videos I can’t wait to come back to New York and visit again soon hopefully
I remember going to Roll n' Roaster with my grandpa when he was still alive. Every few months, my dad and I go to Long Island to pick up my grandma and we'll make a stop through Brooklyn to get a roast beef n' cheez with cheez fried. They changed the fries from the circle cut to the chip cut but theyre still just as good as they used to be. Somethings never change and I hope to bring my kids there one day to share that experience with them too.
Watching you traveling back home on #6 train. I don't eat this type of food but your videos are interesting and fun! Kosher food from Ben's or Pastrami Queen in Manhattan tastes amazing. Nowadays I lean toward chicken (grilled) and turkey. I hope you and your family enjoyed today.
I would definitely do the Garguilo burger with the roast beef, KFJ style. I saw you guys in there right after you had filmed this. I travel to NYC often for work and look forward to trying the other places you mentioned.
I drive past Coney Island on my way to JFK to work so many amazing things I have never known about that were less than a mile away from the Belt Parkway! Love what your doing.
My dad used to take me to Roll and Roaster when we lived in Brooklyn. There was another place called Zeke's I remember seeing but not the food (It looks like it closed for good 5 years ago). I just filmed a video for my channel about the Neba roast beef that originated here in Albany, different from this style beef, but also really good.
I go to Roll n Roaster every month, and I go to Brennan and Carr once in a while. Johns is good too. Like all three. Brennan and Carr you have 5 minutes to eat your sandwich before it dissolves, but soo good
A friend of mine from Jersey showed me the proper way to eat a cheesesteak. Provolone and have the cheesesteak dipped twice in it's own anju. The anju adds another dimension to sandwiches. I used to be a crispy bread guy but I was converted to the "wet side" lol Meat juice on the bread? Yes please!
These sandwiches looked so good that I made French Dip sandwiches for Thanksgiving! I'm sure these are better than mine but I don't live near NYC. One of my favorite sandwiches, thanks for putting those restaurants on my visit list!
Spent 40 yrs of my life in Brooklyn. John’s deli was sold by original owners and it’s now owned by bunch of non Brooklyn hipsters. The old “Thank you subway crew” was the best. If u want “original” John’s deli visit his locations in New Dorp Staten Island and 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights. Roll ‘n roasters is awesome. If ur from Brooklyn u either a B&C fan or R&R.
Growing up in Scotland in the 60's, when dad was making mince for dinner? We used to get what we'd call a piece in dip..( slice of plain bread dipped in the gravy of the mince ) guess we all have variations.
Excellent video! (as usual)!, sandwiches are always an awesome food, all 3 spots seem really great in their history etc but the John's sub with the reduction gravy looks like the best of them
Good Job guys food looks great and will definitely take a drive down to John's Deli for that sandwich such a roast beef fan even went to the City to get to an Arby's when the urge hit so Thank you once again that gravy from John's looks amazing like molasses lol but gotta say more of a fan of the roll breads from the other spots will check those out as well
Treated myself to there last week. Had a double dip roast beef with grilled onions and cheese sauce, Cheese fries and 2 cokes. So good. The waiter was really nice.
Back in the 80s, you’d have a hard time getting into these places. They used to be jam packed. Unfortunately, the Brooklyn that we all know and love is nothing but a memory now.
Everything being said, John's makes it happen⭐ Side note, probably the BEST hot roast beef sandwich in Philly is at John's Roast Beef in South Philly at 20th & Jackson sts👍
Glad you're finally in south Brooklyn. My fave places! No secrets here for us locals! Better food and way cheaper than Manhattan. So many memories going there in the 90s. Miss the other joins that closed over the years tho. Use to be a bunch fun/cheap places that are no more =( Can't believe it took you 10 years to get out of Manhattan!!
Thank you for all your recommendations Jon, we ate at quite a few and were all delicious. I was looking out for you when we were exploring 😂😂 beautiful city, can’t wait to be back.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, and out of the three places john deli is the only one I never heard of looks like a good place to go might there one day? as for me being raised in Brighton Beach, sheepshead Bay being nearby rolling roaster and Brennan and carr are institutions 💯
Good Thursday Morning @ #BeHereBarr Happy Thanksgiving And That 🍗🍗 Roast Beef Look So Amazing Thank You For Sharing This Video With All Of Us Take Care With Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings
Aww man - got me very hungry now! I like the Double Dip, u can just pick up & scarf down. Now I have to digress and get the grill going- May not be as sumptuous as the roast beefs but it will do 😀

It would have to be the double dip. I heard of this sandwich on an episode of man vs food. Good location
Same way we just had ours Champ lol
Me, Ben and the JFK--all day.
Double dipped KFJ!
You 2 guys are getting hungry now. It looks as good
It's soft, it's wet, what's not to love? Ben's words to live by!😂

That was the first time I ever snort laughed watching one of these. The best element of humor is surprise.
@@melissam7146 I agree!

im a piggy like that as well
Specifically Brennan and car
I lived 5 minutes from roll & roaster basically my whole life. Moved to Jersey a few years ago but every time we visit my fam we go there.

"Dear mother-in-law." Those are words you don't see together very often. I had a chuckle.

Planning a trip for me and my wife. I would be lost without your videos man. Can’t wait to see nyc

Brennan and Carr - play-by-play dipping roast beef and buns is hilarious 😆 😁😸😬😺
Great spot you would enjoy 😉
Thank you for putting a spotlight on the amazing food we have in Southern Brooklyn. There are a lot more places you can add to this.
You're always giving me more reasons to travel to other boroughs. As a beef lover, I think I'll find myself in Brooklyn soon.
Thank you for the video!!! I am glad you did a video on these roast beef restaurants they are so underrated tourists should come to these spots

The gravy at the first place looks phenomenal, on its own!
That roast beef looks super juicy! Gotta try that out next time out in Brooklyn
Let’s go

Thanks 🙏🏻
The gravy is like treacle in the first one, but all that beef. Wow. Fantastic eats.
I live 10-15 minutes from all these spots and frequent them- good to see them getting some love!

I remember the rolling roaster. I never ate there but the food looks good. I will add that to the list of things to do when i get back home!

That dipping gravy looks so thick and rich. I never knew about these type of roast beef sandwiches. I must try.
I grew up like a short walk from Brennan and Carr's. I only ever ate there a handful of times, but I love that place.
Watching you traveling back home on #6 train. I don't eat this type of food but your videos are interesting and fun!
Kosher food from Ben's or Pastrami Queen in Manhattan tastes amazing.
Nowadays I lean toward chicken (grilled) and turkey.
I hope you and your family enjoyed today.
Still go to Johns Deli and Roll n Roaster after all these years . I'm from Bensonhurst and still eating at these wonderful places.
Roll n Roaster is Whatever. Brennan N Carr is AMAZING
I would definitely do the Garguilo burger with the roast beef, KFJ style. I saw you guys in there right after you had filmed this. I travel to NYC often for work and look forward to trying the other places you mentioned.

Brennan & Carr's Richie Egan is an iconic server!
I literally see him as the face of the restaurant ✨
My dad used to take me to Roll and Roaster when we lived in Brooklyn. There was another place called Zeke's I remember seeing but not the food (It looks like it closed for good 5 years ago).

Zeke's was on 3rd Ave in Bay Ridge right?
@@CinCee- I gotta be honest, it was so long ago and I was so young, I'm not sure.
@@derryXDINES Long time ago? Zekes was around less than 10 years ago
@@CinCee- I moved out of Brooklyn in 1986
@@derryXDINES ohhh wow lol.. thats definetly a long time ago!

I was at Roll N Roaster on Friday nights many times.
Lived in Sheepshead Bay 1971-96

Wish I was closer...looks mouth watering tasty tasty tasty....Thank you for this and all.Truly appreciated 😋 🙂
K&FJ with an extra side of drippings. And love that black gold!!
These sandwiches looked so good that I made French Dip sandwiches for Thanksgiving! I'm sure these are better than mine but I don't live near NYC. One of my favorite sandwiches, thanks for putting those restaurants on my visit list!
Brennan & Carr ❤️ The double dip is my favorite way. 😊 Thanks for another great video, Jon. Ben had my laughing so hard I was crying. 😁

Jon, another well narrated video. Yea, roll & roaster is a sheepshead bay landmark. They have the best Roast beef sandwiches. Keep up the good work.
Just come from NYC and I tried the Johnny roast beef sandwich, and wasn't disappointed, 😋
Hi from Ireland. Watched this late at night and now I'm craving a sandwich.
My husband and I are in Brooklyn for a visit. We are hoping to run into you, we are big fan!!!

Excellent video and brilliant way to introduce the rest of us foodies to more great eats!
I have never tried roast beef but this video makes me want to try these restaurants! Especially the last one.
Growing up in sheepshead bay roll n roaster been the spot and will always be my spot
Man you always find the besttttt food. I literally keep a list from all the food spots in your videos I wanna hit lol
Went to high school at Lafayette in the 2000's, place is a gem!
Excellent video! (as usual)!, sandwiches are always an awesome food, all 3 spots seem really great in their history etc but the John's sub with the reduction gravy looks like the best of them
There used to be a Roll N Roaster across the street from the Dust Bowl on 65th as well.
First time watching but straight to the cut. Great way
look at this man the best host servicing his camera man i dont see this on other food review channels

Thanks for the memory as I forgot Roll and Roaster is still on Emmons Ave. Commercial took me back.
I’ve been to all three places and they are amazing!!
Treated myself to there last week. Had a double dip roast beef with grilled onions and cheese sauce, Cheese fries and 2 cokes. So good. The waiter was really nice.
Everytime I watch John I always learn something new in my city I honestly did not know about that spot existed

Quite similar to the beef dip we have in n
Northern England often accompanied with Sage and Onion Stuffing
Haven't actually heard of this, looks amazing, I'll have to check it out
Another awesome food vlog:scrumptious!!! I heard about this roast beef for years but i have yet to gobble one down.
Amazing Video
Thank you

I go to Brennan & Carr regularly.
Its so good with professional waiters & a very relaxing atmosphere

Now I am hungry for New York
Haven't been to John's but did a taste test one day between Roll n Roaster and Brennan. Very different experiences..both great!
And when I go to Brennan and Carr, it's the Double Dip for me. Also, go to Roll n Roaster on New Year's Day after the Polar Bear Plunge!
Used to live on ave U with l&b as my back yard. I’ve moved, and miss each spot including l&b.
I’m originally from Long Island and I remember that old Rollin’ Roasters commercial
Jon have a Happy Thanksgiving ! I will be sure to check out one of these restaurants when I'm in NYC !
I would try the second place in Brooklyn for roast beef sandwich with the cheese whiz inside and a large soft drink.
I've eaten in every place in this video! All are great roast beef heros.
I miss emmuns Ave rolling roaster and the endless seafood restaurants as well.
Aww man - got me very hungry now! I like the Double Dip, u can just pick up & scarf down. Now I have to digress and get the grill going-
May not be as sumptuous as the roast beefs but it will do 😀
I'd love to have that sandwich. It looks so good! Cheers! ✌️
