19 Best Southern Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Food is amaziing!!! Service is great and friendly. Try it out you will not be disappointed!!👍“

“Honestly- this place is great! Almost everything I have eaten or drank here has been delicious. Recommend the hush puppies and green tomato martini, but everything is good. I don’t normally do reviews but I think this place really deserves it (as someone who grew up in the south)“

“Excellent example of Cajun/Creole cuisine. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious food and more than generous helpings.“

“Good little spot ❤️ Enjoyed ourselves“

“We were hungry while in the area and also wanted to check out the market as well. While perusing, Jacob's Pickles caught our eye. We came on a busy weekend so it was hard to find seating. The food took a bit of time as well (likely given how busy the whole place was). Overall the food was good but maybe a bit overpriced? Still enjoyed the experience!“

“Come Stow away, come stow away with me! Couldn’t resist the temptation, but on the real, if you ever find yourself needing to break fast and enjoy a little hole in the wall, a rustic ambiance, and very friendly service, Stowaway serves. Tucked away in Greenpoint, Stowaway came up on a top ten list of places to check out and TikTok hasn’t let me down before. If you’re lucky to get either Miles or Sasha, you’ll be in good hands.

Of course the food served; started off spitting a blueberry pancake (pizza style); perfect size for three. The cake was made fluffy and the blueberry compote had that right amount of warmth and gooey. We each got one of the biscuit sandwiches and they were definitely a several steps up from any that you would get from Fastfood. A soft biscuit, perfect scrambled/runny eggs and a good southern sausage. I took a step further adding a side of remoulade at Mile’s recommendation; 🔥 choice. Also, stacking my hash brown on my sandwich, 👌🏾.

Note, they don’t do reservation but we got there round 11-12pm and they was seating for the three of us, but don’t dally.

Anyway, I’ll have to comeback and try some of their specials of day. The shrimp and grits across another table looked pretty good.

Either way, this is definitely my type of vibe I want as I break fast, so let me stowaway again on my next visit.“

“Everything we ordered was really good. The calamari and scampi stood out, especially with that amazing butter garlic sauce. The wings were just okay because the sauce felt a little flat. Both the ribeye and steak frites were high quality and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were easily the best side, super creamy and flavorful. I do wish the steak sauce options were better though. I also wasn’t a big fan of the fries. Just a personal preference but I’m not into that style of fries. What really made the night was the service. Amrita was incredible, very friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. She made the whole experience even better“

“I selected Katie O as the place for my daughter her sister and I to eat. We enjoyed the food and I ordered take-out as well 😀 I definitely suggest Katie O. You won't be disappointed with the food people. Also Daryll is so personable and Katie is awesome too.

“The food and the presentations are wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful not only with the waiters, but the patrons as well, took someone there today and they are coming back. And they are bringing back a family member“

“The service was a bit slow because there was only one cashier and she was doing everything!! Samantha J. was taking orders...serving food...waiting tables...helping take out pick ups...cleaning up and still interacting with the customers! She was working hard and was very nice! She needs either a raise or a promotion!“

“I want to start off by saying the Art work and Decor is amazing and well thought out. I can see why people came by our table to take pictures (even though we were full on chowing down) but Nonetheless the server we had was so sweet and accommodating the environment was very welcoming...I will definitely be returning. I had the whiting grits and a salad with Salmon croquettes. And my best friend had Catfish Mac and cheese with collard greens. The food was on point, well seasoned and hot off the stove. I love a hot meal and it made me feel right at home. Another honorable mention the music was spectacular, perfect for the mood we were in. I loved it! 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

“This is one serious gem of a place, they literally cook and provide real proper nutritional food with decent prices, this isn’t one of those chain restaurants that chase profit share margins instead of healthy food, the lady who took my order was super sweet helpful and wholesome as well. Food tastes fresh and delicious, i am not sure how they are not more busy.

Get in there people we wont have great food like this if we don’t protect and support!“

“The staff is amazingly friendly! Such a clean & happy environment! The food is great! Love it💕“

“Great atmosphere, music and staff are friendly. Best pumpkin waffles I’ve ever had. The Benedict was really good over the biscuit; I would have preferred less hollandaise sauce but overall still good. Has browns also good, a little greasy but the flavor is there.“

“The establishment was very nice. Although I don't drink anymore the bar staff was very polite and friendly. We had an event for the elections coming up and the owner was kind enough to allow us to have the event there. Nice place if you're looking for a drink and some quick food.“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“
