At midnight, during a random adveture from the city in to Brooklyn, someone recommended DuMont to my friends and I because we were starving. Let me just say that I think that the burger I ate here was the best bruger I have ever had touch my lips. It was phenominal. Hands down. The onion rings. To die for. I would gladly shlep back to Brooklyn to eat one of their burgers.

A friend actually reccommended Dumonts because of their burgers, which are great, but while sitting at our table we noticed alot of the other patrons were eating or ordering the DuMac 'n Cheese. Needless to say, the 2nd time we all went to Dumonts we ordered the DuMac 'n Cheese and completely understood why. Far and away the best mac 'n cheese you will ever have.

Billyburg is so fortunate for having a place like this. The ravioli appetizer was pretty good. The roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and the mac and cheese entree are the best of comfort foods. The pumpkin bread pudding is divine--crusty on the top, but soft and custardy on the bottom, paired with vanilla bean ice cream and candied pecans. I seriously can't think of another dessert I'd rather have at any restaurant. Unfortunately, it is only available seasonally. Get it before it leaves the menu.

At DuMont you will find some of the best Bloody Marys in Williamsburg (or greater NYC for that matter). The crabcake and the grilled baby squid are great starters, and if you are visiting from the city or beyond, do not miss the signature DuMont salad. I am not a burger eater, but friends that are come here so regularly it might be mistaken for Sunday church. The staff is extremely courteous, its almost hard to hate the hipsters here.

got the pulled pork sandwich & hangar steak here yesterday. it took incredibly long and i ended up having to ask for a box, but even after 1.5 hr of running around town, the food was hearty and amazing. get that hangar steak if it's available.

roasted chicken and burger are best bets. super delicious. if you have kids, don't bring them - cuz that would be, you know, annoying.

Dumont's got lovely garden that you'll enjoy so much in summer. The food (mostly burgers) is good and reasonably priced (but too copious). Cool atmosphere.

The wine list needs to be re-worked. I had the bourdeaux-sauvignon blanc and a merlot-pinot noir blend. Both were pretty boring. The merlot-pinot noir was in lieu of the zweigelt, they were out of this, on the menu. Only had an entree, the skirt steak. This was really tasty and cooked as ordered, medium. Maybe not genre defining, but then it's a steak. The boulanger potatoes were almost like rice noodles. I really enjoyed the texture. The service was good up to the point that they threw away my friend's doggy-bag. Still, two people, the waitress and the hostess, came up to us and apologized. They offered us free drinks now or whenever we might return. The menu is limited, especially for vegetarians. There are only 6 entrees, not including specials. The prices are a bit too high. They seem to have the Manhattan premium, even though this restaurant is in Brooklyn. $12 for macaroni and cheese. Still if you're are in the neighborhood, this is worth a shot. It's better than Kellog's Diner.

My wife and I dined in the outdoor space behind the restaurant. We shared the beet soup, DuMont salad, crab cakes, macaroni and cheese and red snapper. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.
