“Stopped in last Saturday night for dueling pianos. It was a great time. We didn’t eat but plenty of drink options and lots of tv’s if you wanted to watch sports. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual spot to grab a drink. Great for groups! Also the view of the Manhattan skyline is awesome.“
“Kudos to Solera! Service and private seating were top-notch and very personable. Ordered several items from menu and all were delicious! Celebrated granddaughter's 2nd birthday and staff did an amazing job with dessert with candle and song. Traveled from the south and will visit again on next trip to NYC.“
“The best, the service: very attentive and waiting to help you only to detect that you were a foreigner. The portions are huge (at least all the sandwiches) and the product is of good quality. Typical American food, which if you're a fan of, you'll enjoy. Recommended visit and at adjusted prices, to be New York.“
“Tried this cornbread in Newark. I must say the food was fresh and very tasty. The workers were friendly and they all did a great job. After visiting the Maplewood store I was turned off because the service and food in Maplewood was horrible. But with a lot of convenseing from my daughter in love. I tried the one in Newark and am very please with portion size and freshness. I will return when I back down in Newark again.“
“oh. my. god.Every single thing I ate from here was perfect. I probably could have eaten the whole restaurant! As someone who doesn’t always like mac and cheese or collard greens- the Mac and cheese and collard greens were AMAZING! Everything was cooked just right and had the perfect amount of seasoning. LOVE!“
“As per most of my other recent reviews, I went to this Southern spot several months back. We went here after they had unexpectedly gone on the best new restaurants list having barely heard about the restaurant otherwise. The lighting was nice here and the staff was friendly giving good recommendations. They have ample space as well. The spot has a fun creative cocktail menu which are reasonably priced with some drinks having rather humorous names. I went with the A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People for $15 which is their take on a Negroni with roots of ruin gin, saffron liqueur, and vermouth di torino bianco which was excellent. The cocktail had a nice presentation with the vivid off yellow and the flower and it had a nice balance of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. This was excellent though not on the current drink menu. They also had the opposite named A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People which was their take on a Manhattan along with plenty of other choices. As per usual for food, we split a lot of dishes. For smaller plates, my favorite was the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs for $16 with dill & vinegar and jezebel sauce. This sauce in question contains fruit jelly and combined with the dill and vinegar; it was a nice mix of sour and sweet with very tender ribs which weren't too heavily fried. Excellent. Also tasty was the Hush Puppies for $10 with jalapeno, cheddar, popcorn, and remoulade. They were lighter than expected with a little kick and the popcorn was fun for presentation. I think the remoulade should be on this side and not presented on top but I guess it's more artful that way. OK was the Crab Cake for $24 listed as corn flake crusted with whole grain mustard, radish, and herb salad. It was a bit pricey and the flavors didn't pop as much as the other appetizers. The mustard was a fun spin but perhaps don't order this as this is probably one of the only overpriced things on the menu outside of perhaps the steak. We ordered two main dishes; the Roasted Rib Cap and the Crispy 1/2 Chicken which were both fine. The former for $42 with bourbon worcestershire caramel consisted of a very tender steak though maybe a bit small. The sauce indeed had some sweetness but there was a bit of salt on the steak so it was pretty well balanced. The latter dish for $26 with`bama white sauce and herbs was solid. Tender fried chicken with a fun presentation. No real major complaints though I am not exactly sure if it is half a chicken (probably is though.) The restaurant is also known for it's desserts so we got both to share which are both $12. Of the two, my preference was the Key Lime Tart with toasted coconut and candied lime zest. I haven't had many good key lime tarts in the city and this was excellent as it wasn't too sour or sweet. The candied lime zest on top as well as the coconut just added extra pizzazz. I almost found the latter Banana Pudding Tart with caramel and vanilla wafers to be a bit worse. It was well presented as per the other dessert and it was plenty rich but it was perhaps a bit too sweet with the amount of caramel they put on top. This is a fun spin on Southern food which isn't exactly a cuisine you find commonly enhanced. The desserts and appetizers were definitely better than the entrees but the entrees weren't too shabby either. Upper 3/low 4.“
“Some of the best massaman curry I've ever had! The cocktails were also fantastic, and the restaurant space itself was really lovely with lots of plants. The menu is sophisticated and everything looked delicious. Would definitely come back.“
“Sylvia's was amazing. We were there to celebrate a great friend and his milestone birthday ? . The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious, so flavorful. Highly recommend 100%Parking: Parking garage 2 blocks down and on street parking - some metered & some not might need to drive around a bit if you're holding out for tge street parking“
“Ok ok so this places looks beautiful service is lack luster for sure you can wear what you want no dress code. Cocktails disgusting can’t lie but I only tried 2 of them the food was good I had short ribs with the collard green pesto it was sooooo good an rib was tender for 30$ it definitely should be atleast 2 ribs on the plate potatoes were good as well 10/10 also oxtail pasta I thought it was disgusting 6/10 the person eating it thought it was delicious so it’s tbd all in all I wouldn’t recommend eating here“
“Everything here was delicious! We got here just in time for the oyster happy hour (5:30-6:30 pm) so the oysters were half off! We also got these croquette appetizers and they were on the smaller side but man were they delicious! My bf said he can down 10 of them if he had the option to. The oysters were fresh and smooth. We ordered the surf n turf po boy and a small order of creole gumbo. We also received a panna cotta dessert and it was so smooth and rich. Highly recommend this spot!“
“My sister and I went to Urban Vegan Kitchen for the first time this week. We both absolutely loved it. The food, the service, the vibe…all great. I had the “chicken” and waffles and my sister had an empanada and chips, salsa and guacamole. All delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu.“
“Great service and good food. Initially I was told I could only order food to go because someone was having a private party and they were prepping but then the man behind the counter walked me through the menu. He then suggested I have a seat and could eat in if I wanted. I chose to dine in and the food was fabulous. I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit. They did not have the cheddar jalapeño biscuit I asked for but they added extra cheese to my sandwich to compensate. The biscuit was crunchy in the outside and soft on the inside. I'll definitely be coming back to try the chicken biscuit and all the different compound butters.“
“What an amazing place!!! The chef definitely knows how to keep you satisfied. The food was delicious!!! The drinks were fun and tasty. I truly enjoyed the steak and the crab cakes as well as the chicken sandwich. I'm definitely going back.“
“What can I say about this amazing restaurant, Bird Dog. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, tasty and presented perfectly, the staff was kind, attentive and extremely friendly. Bird Dog gives very New York vibes with a soft Southern hospitality touch. I’m not only saying this because I’ve known the owner/operator for over 15 years but because the food and experience was great! Recommend to any/all foodies local and visitors to the area.“
“From the moment I walked to the moment I walked out, I was treated as family. Everyone was welcoming, helpful and so friendly. I had oxtails, rice and peas and homemade potato salad. It was delicious, the best meal I had on my trip to New York for the UK. See you guys again next year xx“
“Love spicy fried chicken? Then Peaches Hot House in Bed-Stuy is a must-try! Their Nashville-style hot chicken is legendary, offering customizable spice levels to suit your heat tolerance. But beware, even their "mild" packs a punch! Don't miss their creamy mac and cheese, the perfect side for cooling down your taste buds in between bites. And for a true taste of the South, they even offer vinho verde, a refreshing Portuguese wine. Peaches Hot House is a casual spot perfect for a delicious and satisfying meal.“
“Recently hosted my birthday party at Printers Alley and had the best experience doing so! It was a large party (50+ people) doing an open bar and the staff could not be more accommodating/generous before and during the event. I felt well taken care of throughout the night and the experience was overall very enjoyable and ran very smoothly. Would definitely recommend if you are considering for a large party or just a general night out!“
“I wish I had opened Popina myself. It is a perfect restaurant. The spicy chicken milanese and carolina arancini are sublime-- the service is good and I feel a little like I'm in a different city when I go to Popina. One that is hospitable, a little slower, that allows you to savor every moment, sip and bite.“
“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“
“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“
“My son said "Blue Smoke has the best brisket in NYC and maybe even TX too" I agree with him. The seasoning is perfect, the meat is super tender and moist, it just melts in your mouth, and we loved their homemade tortilla chips. It was our first time trying it. We started making bites with layers of mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, a piece of brisket w/their delicious sauce on top of their homemade tortilla chip, and to top it off, we would add a calbee hokkaido butter chip so both sides would be crunchy with savory gooey perfection in between. It's difficult to find a better bite and now we want to order it again now.“
“The food was phenomenally bonkers!, it had the home style cooking and flavor bursts you would want from a delicious brunch. The jerk chicken was flavor filled with all types of delicious spices, char grilled, and succulent with every bite. The team and wonderful service from “Demmoy” and a few others I was enjoying my food too much I forgot to get everyone’s name, provided such a welcoming experience and energy, fantastic vibes. I can’t say enough kind words about this place. I plan to return often for the jerk chicken and waffles. The waffle had crispy crust & savory tastes, the maple syrup was delivered heated, such a fantastic touch!. My partner had the eggs biscuits and grits, holy smokes that had a fantastic flavor as well, i ate half of her food (after she was done), ?Highly recommend. ??“
“I love their food! Tasty, clean and fresh. The portions are good too.Services is great and friendly. It’s small but quaint. It’s ran by a sweet family.. I definitely recommend them!Vegetarian options: They have rice n peas, cabbage plantains, delicious“
“Ordered via UberEats. I got the bodega & the ACP.Oh my god. Immediate eyes rolled to the back of my head at the first bite of the bodega biscuit. I got the maple cayenne butter also which I feel was a nice touch. The buttermilk biscuit is buttery, rich, soft, and so good!! Not dry at all!The ACP came with the gravy on the side, which I appreciated to avoid a soggy biscuit. Again, absolutely delicious although I will say it might’ve been a bit salty.. but regardless it was great! Savory and just *chef’s kiss* Worth every penny!I couldn’t even finish it. They are not skimpy with the portions at all! I only wish they had some lattes / tea.Will definitely be ordering again!Truly a neighborhood gem!“
“The food was amazing! It was seasoned very well. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed ourselves. We had a party of 15 and they didn't miss a beat. It was a bit pricy for some items but worth it. Very large portion sizes. I will definitely be eating here again!“
“Really tasty just overpriced. Literally a side piece of French toast sliced diagonal was $7.50. That could've got me 2 whole loafs of bread. I ordered the salmon croquettes which came with two on a bed of arugula, corn and beans and didn't fill me up and was $19. We had to order French fries which were hot and fresh and crispy but again overpriced. Anyways.it was all good and tasty but definitely a one time visit for me. Wayy too overpriced. And the service was so busy and mid.“

“Look No Further For Your Tex Mex Fix than Javelina . Frozen Margaritas , Lone Star , Yellow Queso , Fajitas and the list goes on . Everything hit the mark for us . The tortilla chips are pure perfection . Just the right thickness & not greasy . Our only suggestion would be to put some Texas sports or any kind of sports for that matter on the TV . Having Bob Ross on the set didn’t fit the atmosphere . When we asked we were told they weren’t aloud to put on sports ; Nevertheless , Service was good & there are a few tables outside too . Btw there’s another location on 18th if you are down that way . Ya’ll enjoy them both .“
“My visit to Madre & Son Soulfood Cafe was a great experience. The waitress was pleasant and the food was very delicious! I had the oxtail, potato salad, yams, and fried chicken, which was well seasoned. Definitely coming back and do recommend their food and catering services.“
“STILL AMAZING.I came here like 10 years ago and have always wanted to return. I'm so happy they are still open.The BEST biscuits and gravy but be warned that you will need a nap. We also tried a nut/toffee crunch donut that has ruined all other donuts for me.Our server was super helpful but didn't overbear. It was the best breakfast experience we had on our trip :)“
“Great spot for drinks and food with a chill atmosphere and the perfect music levels to enjoy a conversation. Pricing is right and portions are big. Southern inspired food and drinks and good service. Will definitely be coming back and would recommend anyone to try it. We came around 7 on a Friday no reservation was needed.“
“Just a magic little spot. Great food and such a friendly atmosphere. Visiting from the UK we didn't know everything on the menu, but the man behind the counter helped us choose as he chatted gently with the regulars. The food was filling and full of flavour. If I lived nearby, I'd go every day!Kid-friendliness: Went with our 1yr old and were greeted with joy and treated well.“
“The employees were fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable about the food.I had the mushroom sauce Chicken sandwich with Mac n cheese... I highly recommend this dish.My wide had the spicy honey chicken sandwich and that also was delicious.“
“The place is like a very large house. Funky decorations make for a pleasant atmosphere. We were promptly greeted as we entered and seated at a comfortable table for our party of 3. We ordered blue crab beignets for the table. These delicious little bites were a nice starter. A nice drink menu offered a bunch of different old fashioneds. We ordered brisket, fried chicken and fried catfish. All were exceptional as was the efficient, cheerful service. I don't rate 5 stars lightly, this place deserves it!“
“Chicken was tender and tasty.Buttermilk biscuit was dense and fluffy. I know it doesn't make sense, but that's how I can describe the texture. I like that combination, though.I wished the chicken and biscuit were warmer. It was more of a room temperature by the time I started eating them.“
“It was a good experience. most for the ambience and the place that seems to be a more local experience or conoceurs. I was happy at the beginning with the service, but later the waiter just forget about us and had to chase them for any additional thing like the check, sinc ethey didn't offer us to check desserts. The drinks were really good, the food was ok, but I was really expecting more since I've had better Eggplant parmegiano at other places.“
“Peaches is a wonderful place for all types of things , definitely will have you coming back for more ! But I do wanna give my fellow people a heads up there is this worker named Brook who is very rude and mean & is definitely trying to give peaches a bad name with her service so in case you guys ever experience a bad moment with her just let a manger know I asure you peaches is more than that and usually a bright and safe place to enjoy your time ! & there food is great !!“
“I was introduced to Jacob's Pickles recently when meeting a friend at the Moynihan Trail Hall. He insisted on finding food as soon as he arrived from Washington, D.C., refusing to venture outside the building. So, we headed to the food court and stumbled upon Jacob's Pickles. The enticing aroma from the kitchen beckoned us, especially with its unique southern-inspired menu, which particularly resonated with me being from the south. I opted for the barbecue chicken-loaded fries as a starter, which turned out to be a substantial meal in itself. The portion size was exceptionally generous, prompting me to take some home. It's rare to find such generous portions in New York City without breaking the bank. Additionally, I indulged in biscuits and gravy and mac-and-cheese with two friends. I recommend treating these dishes as a family-style dining experience due to their size. Although Jacob's Pickles in the train hall lacks a dedicated dining area, the hall provides a pleasant space to enjoy your meal, provided it's not too crowded. While the food was served in a reasonable amount of time, it did take a bit longer for the barbecue chicken-loaded fries. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Jacob's Pickles and look forward to returning when my friend visits again and inevitably demands immediate dining. It's safe to say where we'll be dining next time!“
“This family owned small business in the east village is truly one of a kind. Try the rotisserie roasted chicken with potatoes! It’s a twist on French cuisine with all the ambience of a curated art gallery and botanical garden in one place. Come for the food, stay for the incredible vibe!“
“For Breakfast, I bought French Toast and an Omelet.Most bodegas in the area don't make French Toast (a few don't know what French Toast is), so I was fortunate to discover that this place makes French Toast.There isn't much room to eat inside the place, so I think it's mostly take out orders.My food was ready relatively quickly. Approximately 5 minutes and the food itself was fine in a basic way.“
“Ok wow! We've passed by here so many times but it was never open. Serendipitously, we walked by, saw that it was open, and stopped in. We are SO glad we did. My husband and I met "Darrell" who was smiling from behind the counter. Before we even had a chance to browse the menu, he was offering us samples of lemonade and best-seller sides. He offered us 6 different foods from the menu, and even one that wasn't on the menu. The customer experience was off the charts. We got a platter with fried chicken, mac n cheese, and fries. For the $25 price tag, it was worthy. The quality of the food was exactly what we were looking for. This isn't "cheap" soul food by any means. The mac n cheese had the perfect texture, and was perfectly spiced. My husband said the fried chicken was crisp and fresh, Darrell boasted about the fact that they use fresh ingredients only, you can taste it! We dove in way too quick to take a pic, but it was awesome. Their multi fruit lemonade was great too!“
“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“
“Our waitress Emily made us feel like we were having dinner at her kitchen table. I've been dining at Cowgirl for years, but my friend Aaron had never eaten at Cowgirl before. Emily was friendly and helpful with menu suggestions and sides. I loved it when she took pics with my friends. Sunday nights Cowgirl will be a frequent dining destination for us!!“
“So this beautiful place is such great place to grab a bite to eat or just a drink. The cocktails are strong and the staff are super friendly. Emily is the best and super nice. The food is also good and portions are big. I've been there 3x and every time Emily I have been lucky to have Emily there.Dietary restrictions: If you are particular about what you want they customize to your dietary needs.Kid-friendliness: I took my kids and they loved the rice bowls“
“I stopped by Cheri's to order food to take out. The hostess greeted me warmly while my order was being prepared. There's a lovely backyard that's ideal for warm weather dining. I'll likely return for dinner in the near future. The food was okay but it was tasty.Parking: Street level location in Bed-Stuy surrounded by other local restaurants“
“The stewed cow was our go to place. Our favorite date night or birthday dinner date. The ambiance is nice and they have a cool theme and there is a larger area towards the back if you want a quieter area with a little more space. Unfortunately they changed their menu. We would get the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese every time which they no longer had. Wish they didn't change the menu but still a great spot.“
