67Burger
If you just want a quick bite to eat that's a few steps above fast food, 67Burger is the place for you. Good, inexpensive (but not cheaply made) burgers There's two within walking distance of Barclays Center -- one just north on Lafayette Ave, and one just south on Flatbush Ave.
But: if the rumors of Shake Shack coming across the street from Barclays Center ever come to pass, 67Burger will have serious competition.
Recommend: The Oaxaca, The Southwestern

Bark Hot Dogs
To say Bark Hot Dogs just serves hot dogs would do the place a disservice. They use the finest local ingredients, even publicizing their food sources on their website, and make fast food into a gourmet experience. The dogs are delicious, the sides fresh, the rustic atmosphere relaxing... Plus, along with being a Brooklyn staple, Brook Lopez loves Bark Hot Dogs. That should end the discussion right there.
Recommend: Bacon Cheddar Dog, Bark-B-Cue Burger, all of the milkshakes (pick your favorite flavor)

Habana Outpost
Habana Outpost is, hands-down, the best Cuban food in Brooklyn. The sandwiches and sides are both divine, and the frozen margaritas do the trick. The outdoor seating in the heart of Fort Greene is a huge plus, too. But if you want to go, you'll have to wait until later in the season: Outpost is entirely solar-powered, meaning that it closes its doors shortly before the regular season begins for winter. But fret not: it'll be back in the spring before you know it. (Note: Cash only.)
Recommend: Cuban Sandwich, Grilled Corn, Roscoe On A Stick

The Smoke Joint
The Smoke Joint is a go-to barbecue restaurant close to Barclays. It's not the finest gourmet BBQ you'll find in the borough, but it's good food and it'll do in a pinch for a pre-game meal. Get the pulled pork if you like yourself and the mac & cheese if you like everyone else. Good all-around spot for families and friends alike. Semi-outdoor seating right by Fowler Square is a plus.
Recommend: Pulled pork meal, Chopped chicken dipped in goldsmoke

Elbow Room
Elbow Room has the luxury of being located right in Barclays Center (but don't worry -- it's accessible from the outside). It's a gourmet Mac & Cheese place that has a little of everything, and it delivers -- the lobster mac & cheese special was heaven to my taste buds, and they're usually rolling out new specials. Just be ready to pony up: their sizes are "big" (small), "bigger" (medium), and "biggest" (large), with a couple "biggest" portions running over $20.
Recommend: Queso Fundido, Mushroom Mac

Chick P
Chick P is one of Brooklyn's greatest little treasures -- it's affordable, delicious mediterranean food in a small, breezy location a block behind Barclays Center. You can't bring a full crowd here -- it's good for a family or a couple of friends, but don't expect to sit more than 3 or 4 here. Get the falafel and hummus, sit at the table that overlooks the window, watch the traffic fly by and enjoy yourself.
Recommend: Falafel Trio, Popeye Delight

Burrito Bar
If you're looking for good Mexican food and a casual atmosphere, Burrito Bar is the place to go. The place knows how to make a margarita (don't worry -- it's still a good place for families), and their guacamole is excellent. Almost all of the food is made to order, so the food is always fresh. As the name suggests, the burritos are worth the trip, but they're also enormous -- if you're not a big eater, you may want to split one with someone else.
Recommend: Guacamole, For the Byrds Burrito, Margarita

Mullanes has a happy hour from 4-7 P.M. Monday-Friday, which includes a free buffet, a $6 one beer-one shot deal, $2 off well drinks & beer on tap, and $5 house wine.
