The Dinky Bar & Kitchen

Lovely ambiance, it looks like it's always packed. We sit outside next to the heaters, parking can be a little tricky. Our server Allan was a sweetheart. The chicken bao buns and chicken wings were good.

Do you guys know it used be train station for Princeton train (called dinki)? Anyways we were at this place for the third time. Their bao buns and chicken wings were good. Lobster rolls are becoming smaller by the day and fig/prosciutto flatbread was bad. Prosciutto was cut thick, bread was thick. The drinks were flavorful and potent. Overall 4 star for food. Service was great. Little expensive for the food quality and ambiance offered

Really great bar atmosphere in the heart of Princeton University. We ordered the margarita flat bread and braised short rib tacos which both were amazing. They gave a free apple to my toddler and were overall really nice and a good staff.

I dropped by there after work to catch up with one of my colleagues. The spot is situated in a lovely area with plenty of parking available, albeit paid, but it's convenient to locate. They serve delicious chicken wings, brussels sprouts, and fries, along with a fantastic selection of drinks and cocktails, all expertly crafted and potent. The server was exceptionally friendly and chatty. They even offer complimentary apples. They made sure our glasses were never empty, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind after a long day at work. It's a delightful spot for a cheerful happy hour or a cozy dinner date with its charming ambiance, not to mention the bonus of complimentary apples.

We just came for drinks. It’s a cute place with a nice outdoor seating. The waiters were good and attentive. But the drinks were horrible. We got two cocktails and a wine, none of them were good, even the wine. I am not even a drink snob but I couldn’t drink mine at all. Don’t think I will be back. It’s a shame though cause the ambiance is very nice.

I came here with a small group of people to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The aesthetic of the place is the best part of this restaurant. The waitress was very inattentive and seemed too distracted and irritated to be taking our order. It took 10 minutes for her to get THREE waters. Everything on the menu is in small portions and essentially equates to appetizers. I think they overcharge for such small portions of food and nobody I came with was thrilled with their food. The calamari was mediocre and the mango iced tea tasted like iced water with a splash of mango. The best thing on the menu is the plain fries. In addition, my friend who brought a cake to the restaurant was told that she would have to pay $3 per slice cut. It’s not even cake from the restaurant and they were trying to charge for a cake that was already bought. I am thoroughly disappointed and will not be coming back again.

Really cool find! The food was awesome, the bartender was great and the atmosphere is really fun. The do have gluten free options, so that's a bonus!

The Dinky Bar & Kitchen This is my second visit to The Dinky Bar and Grill in Princeton which offers great views of the campus. We were going to see a play at McCarter and it is so convenient being across the street. The Dinky has an intimate vibe. Being the original Train Depot the feel of the place is still a train depot which I love. The menu is limited but certainly enough to choose from. There are shareable plates as well full entrees. Very good food and drinks. Our server Kayla was amazing. She needs to be recognized because she was extraordinary. A very busy place pre theater but Kayla never stopped smiling Great experience all around. Will definitely be going again.
