  1. If you're trying to diet then don't come here, the lower calorie options aren't great. But if you're not worrying too much about calories then this place has some great food. The French onion soup is yummy and comforting. The ribs are always consistently yummy. Also keep in mind that the half portion of the ribs are large enough and the full portion is completely unnecessary for one person. The mashed potatoes are also really good here, get extra gravy! The drinks here are also fairly cheap it's like $3 for a beer and $5 for a large beer.

  2. Best cheddar burger in the world!

    I have no idea what their cheddar is made out of ( I actually asked, they said it is a mix of a few things but could not tell me the secret) but man is it delicious.

    I had a friend say " it looks a little like cheese whiz." Could not be more wrong. This cheese is amazingly delicious, salty, hearty and every other food drooly word in the world.

    You won't be disappointed in getting a chedder burger- I am partial to the bacon cheddar but the mushroom cheddar is fantastic as well.

    Get it!

  3. Whenever I ask neighborhood folks for a recommendation for a place to eat, they always mention Skinflints. These are people actually from the neighborhood, mind you.

    So I headed over there one random weekday on a day off and sat down for a beer and a burger. The place has been around for 40+ years, so better late than never.

    As the other reviews have mentioned, their burger's claim to fame is that it's served on an English muffin. I had the Swiss burger, which came with some really, really good fries. Loved the added texture that the English muffin provided, and the burger patty itself was thick and cooked perfectly medium rare.

    The place itself is fun to look at. There were still Christmas lights up when I went in March, and the rest of the space has vintage trappings, like stain glassed windows, old lamps, and wood detailing on the walls. It's like going back in time.

    And yes, "Skinflints" sounds like the name of a strip club. Get over it.

  4. My friend suggested this place when I was in need of comfort food, it definitely hit the spot! I ordered the french onion soup; it is the definition of comfort food. It was delicious, comforting, and had a ridiculous amount of cheese on top! We also split a half portion of ribs and they just fell off the bones. Really glad I was introduced to this place because I'll definitely be a regular.

  5. ATMOSPHERE: Came here with my S.O and my parents, and it was the perfect spot for a family dinner. Cute bar in the front, woodsy feel inside with appropriately dimmed lighting that made for a warm ambiance. Restaurant seating in the back with 2 rooms, and white lights handing throughout the restaurant. Enough room among the tables for a private conversation without feeling cramped or overcrowded.

    FOOD: I had the avocado salad and it was SUPER fresh and delicious. Had a vinegarette dressing which was a little creamy, tangy,and tasty. The other guests had chicken piccata, marsala, and francaise, and they all loved their plates. The server even accommodated any changes we had to our dishes and they came out perfectly and timely.

    DRINKS: Beers were fresh and wine was a bit sweet for a cab, but still wasn't bad.

    OVERALL: Would definitely reco for a bar night, or a dinner with the family! Just depends on the day and time of your visit. I will definitely be returning.

  6. I always have and always will love skinflints, I personally think they definitely got the criteria  for top 5 places in Bayridge for best bar type food. A group of 6 of us came by on a Sunday night around 830 after being out for the day in Bayridge. We waited a little bit for a table and than got one.
    Out server was really nice and accommodating. She brought us waters and menus and didn't rush us to order. I got the French onion soup and split the French dip with a side of chili cheese fries with someone. I didn't eat the fries because I don't like that type of stuff, but everyone else said they were good. Everyone liked their meals. They really do give very large portion sizes here and the price is right. I can't wait to come back again.

  7. Came here awhile ago and wasn't too impressed. People raved about these burgers and sadly I was very disappointed.

    I would perhaps give them another shot in the near future.

    My burger didn't have much flavor.

    Service was friendly however and beer was fresh and tasty.

  8. I really like skinflints. The ambience is very nice, considering its a bar. The lights are dimmed and it has a nice feel. I've tried the potato skins, mozzarella sticks, and French onion soup. Last time I was there, I had the Shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I've also had their burgers and they're awesome. The service was great the last time I went. Overall, skinflints has great bar food and it's definitely worth a try!
