Picket Fence is the first place in Ditmas Park to serve American comfort food! Although this quaint restaurant is delightful enough to be a boon for any neighborhood, Cortelyou Road ached for it. Owner/chef Graham, a fresh transplant from Riverdale, has created a warm and inviting space in which to enjoy his creations. You can eat in either the sunny yellow dining room or the backyard garden where Graham grows thyme, rosemary, and tomatoes.
You'll find many of your favorites at Picket Fence, albeit with a creative twist. Do you crave meatloaf? There's a wonderful turkey version with a side of buttery Yukon gold mashed potatoes and green beans. Looking for buffalo wings and Blue cheese dip? Order the spicy barbequed fried chicken sandwich sprinkled with Gorgonzola. Potato chip addicts can munch away at the chive-dusted garlic potato crisps. If you're looking for a light meal, have a bowl of chilled potato leek soup and a roasted corn pancake with lemon cream and smoked salmon.
For dessert, enjoy the homemade dark chocolate blondies, peanut butter cookies, vanilla-speckled creme brulee and a demitasse of rich double chocolate pudding topped by a cap of fresh whipped cream.
Ditmas Park residents will be happy to know that Picket Fence now delivers. No more traipsing to Park Slope for a burger!
Picket Fence: 1310 Cortelyou Rd., Brooklyn, (718) 282-6661.

The cooks cannot be trusted at this restaurant. I would not recommend it even to my worst enemy. You don't want to know what goes on in the kitchen.
I was shocked at how delicious the food was. It was absolutely scrumptuous and I was thrilled with the low prices paid for this high brow fare. Yum. And it has its down home touches (diggin the home) -- like fresh popped popcorn instead of bread and butter for starters. It's a real family type restaurant with great food and a very warm atmosphere. I will say the help was very relaxed (slow) but we arrived at the hour that the staff was being fed, so what else can we say? Not sure about the cooks and the kitchen, but what do you really know about any cooks in any restaurant kitchen?
