"Mekelburg's is a Brooklyn staple, and one of the originators of the gourmet deli restaurant bar combo. Both aspects are spectacular. The deli and groceries section contains a cornucopia of fun food options from truffle chips to artisinal hot sauces. They have everything you could need, and things you never would have imagined that end up becoming must have grocery items on future trips.The restaurants is also eclectic and delicious. The fried chicken sandwiched between two waffles functioning as buns is creative and mouth watering if a little messy. The caviar baked potato is fantastic. You can't go wrong with most items honestly, but they do have some occasional misses in the sandwich department. The porchetta sandwich was comically large and not tasty. The atmosphere is also a little lacking, essentially just some chairs and tables in the back of a deli, which granted is kind of the vibe but it's far from my favorite place to hangout. The food makes up for it though.Definitely check it out for both food and groceries!"
