The food was magnificent. We had pancakes- the best we have had in a while! The Avocado toast was incredible and I added an egg for protein- so full!! Split a waffle because it looked so good, it was the best I have ever had-bar none. The owner was personable, passionate, energetic and sweet. There was a chill island vibe the music was amazing reggae, island reggae, bluesy which carried through out and kept us swaying in our seats. read more

Omg I'm so glad I tried this place and I cannot wait to go back. The service , the music , the food , the drinks all 10000/10. The oxtail egg rolls were so tasty with the oxtail gravy dipping sauce. The jerk chicken wrap is humongous , they weren't stingy with the chicken. The jerk chicken Philly was also to die for. We had the rum punch & the passion fruit drink both delicious. This place really takes good food seriously and the music will have you dancing in your seat. I will be back. Ask for Leah we loved her amazing service !! read more

Met up with my friend from Westchester County to catch up and to stuff our bellies. But instead we were not offered a table to sit even though there were 4 available tables. First we was told the vacant 3 tables was reserved for bigger groups (I could understand that but if you have paying customers why not offer the table) Then a couple got up and moved to the bar area, but we was told we couldn't sit at the table because the kitchen was behind with orders and we would have a long wait time, but why could we not sit and wait for our order? We were asked to come back later instead of sitting and waiting. The waiter was friendly. I do not picture going back after this experience - We will find another location to eat, if a restaurant doesn't want our money I'm not going to beg to spend it there. Very disappointing experience. read more

Food- 4/5 -broiled salmon in scampi sauce with grits. 0/5 - fish tasted very fishy - I would NOT recommend !! -The I love Cado Toast 4/5 - DELICIOUS and I highly recommend it and would get it again. -The fried whiting and grits 4/5 - delicious and would get that again as well. Fish fried hard like I like it! -The pancake platter 4/5- eggs looked like they were liquid and not fresh. Pancakes tasted delicious and the turkey bacon was good turkey bacon. The blueberries yum, strawberries, meh Drank water -the juices weren't freshly made, they were bottled yet the mocktails still sounded like decent mixes I was looking forward to the nachos, yet we were given a brunch and breakfast pre-fixe menu without them as an option, despite the website saying the menu is served ALL DAY... not sure. Service- 2/5 Unfortunately, the service was lacking. It was slow, the woman who served us on Sunday AM started out ok and once I said I didn't like the salmon and if I could change it (which is how I got the whiting), she appeared to get an attitude. For what, I have no idea. ‍ I told her the fish tasted fishy and she asked what that meant... maybe she doesn't eat fish, but when in doubt, esp with fish, Better safe than sorry!! We saw her again when she dropped the food and never checked to see if it was ok. Then we gave the young man our card to pay and she stormed over and asked if we were splitting the check with a card we never saw before... we still gave a 10% tip. That could've and should've gone a lot better. Ambiance- 3.5/5 The door hours say Sun 8- and the website says Sun 11- so I have ?s but didn't feel comfortable to ask after the service or lack there of, received. Seated in the corner facing a wall when there were several other decent seats open bc it wasn't crowded at all upon arrival. Overall 1 thumb up and would return for the food... maybe sit at the bar. Didn't go to party just to eat and the food was worth it so I would recommend. When you call people family, treat'm a little better Hopefully, a better encounter with staff next time read more

Shame on me for not coming here sooner. I was here on Saturday and it was excellent. I got the Fried Chicken thigh on Coco bread with Honey Sirraccha. I think it was called the Chicken Sanny. Sooooo good. I also got a Ginger Beer. Delicious but $5? A little pricey for Ginger, sugar and water but hey! I get it. You gotta make money. I had a really hard time deciding what to get but I'll be back to try some of the other items. All of the items everyone else got looked very delicious too and they confirmed it, with the exception of the waffles and pancakes. But who goes to a Jamaican restaurant and orders waffles or pancakes?! I was with a big group and the only thing was that it was really hot and really loud. Our server, Vicky was awesome and patient with our large group. I will be back and highly recommend. read more

Love this family-oriented business and love the food. You can't go wrong with anything you pick on the menu.

I went here for brunch with my son and parents for a spur of the moment brunch plan and boy am I glad we found this place! We walked in to an unassuming space, the parking lot looked industrial almost, but we went in and were greeted by a bunch of friendly faces. We were seated immediately and given menus. I ordered the waffles with jerk shrimp (weird but trust), I got pancakes and eggs for my son, my stepdad got the buffalo wrap, and my mum got an omelette. When I tell you there weren't any crumbs left on any of the plates!!!!!!! The best bite I had was the jerk shrimp - UNBELIEVABLE!!!! And the pancakes were - and I quote "the best I've had in my life" - that's a serious statement from a 70 year old man. The wait staff was SO incredibly sweet to my son, and he absolutely loved chatting with them and playing around! I'm 100% going to come back and try the other items on the menu! read more

Shoutout to Vicky!!! She tried so hard to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The waiters who where supporting were also really great. I came with a very large group, 16 people. We made a reservation and they seated us. They took our orders 4 people at a time and our food came out 4 meals at a time. If it is important to you for everyone in your group to eat the same time don't come here with a large group. They have a DJ for brunch so the atmosphere is loud, fun and livily. I had the fish and waffles. The fish was amazing. The waffle was just okay. The mac and cheese was okay. The drinks were the highlight of the meal. I had the mimosa that had tequila in it and it was really good. I ordered the pitcher size. It was strong and not watered down. read more

I love it here. Brunch so goooood. Ugh, 10/10. The fish with the jerk sauce and the grits?! Fire. Super filling. I love how brunch is 40$ and comes with a mimosa and it's not a champagne glass it's bigger. The option of an app and then the entree. The porridge is really good as well. Sorrel bbq is a great flavor for the wings. When you have a party have everyone there or you won't be seated. The dj was good and overall a great vibe. read more

Wow. The flavors of everything we ordered (steak, salmon, jerk chicken) were uniquely the best ever. They are true culinary artists. Will definitely be back read more

As soon as I walked in, someone (who I later found out was the owner) stepped in front of me and started questioning me instead of greeting me. There was no welcome at all. Meanwhile, the bar was completely empty, and all I wanted to do was grab a seat like I've done before. At one point, he asked me if I knew who he was--without even introducing himself. That completely threw me off. For a second, I thought I had some kind of past issue or drama walking in, and I almost reacted the wrong way. I had to check myself because the whole interaction felt confrontational and unnecessary. read more

I drove over an hour to not be able to sit at empty tables bec you were behind in serving the other 7 tables who all had no food. I was asked to come back in 30 minutes instead and the i would be served in an additional 30 minutes. Also offered to sit at a full bar yet couldn't sit at the empty tables. Very disappointed!! So much unnecessary back and forth. Whelp!!! My favorite spot isn't anymore read more

It's been a few years since I've written a Yelp review, but I felt compelled to share this one because the breakfast was that good. I recently moved to Long Island and while there's so much great food here, the options are definitely different from what I was used to back in Pasadena, California. I saw the positive reviews for BVK and decided to stop by since it was on my route -- and I'm so glad I did. The food is amazing. Honestly, the picture doesn't do it justice; it tasted even better than it looked. The service was warm and welcoming, and Leah was especially kind. Definitely coming back! read more

I'll start with the good. The food is absolutely delicious, period! The fish and grits were a 10/10. However, the portion of grits was very small, which left me hungry. My husband ordered the French toast, and it was perfect. Unfortunately we didn't eat until about 45 minutes after being seated. Now, the reason for the three-star rating. I really tried to see the good in this place and exercised a lot of patience, but the service put a damper on the experience. From the moment we walked in, it was clear they were disorganized. There was no hostess, so all three staff members working the floor asked if we had been helped. The 20-minute wait was fine, but once we were seated, service continued to struggle. It took about 15 minutes before we even received menus, and we noticed the same happening to other tables. Our waitress only took drink orders about 25 minutes in, and by that point, we were starving. I understand it was busy, but guests should be able to order food when they're ready. We ordered a pitcher of Marcus Garvey (half iced tea half lemonade) which was definitely a premix and overly sweet. When the drink pitcher arrived, we struggled to pour it because of the fruit and mint blocking the spout. Actually, the waitress tried to pour it first and couldn't but offered us no solution lol!! That's when we realized we didn't have cutlery (we had been seated nearly 30 minutes now) and had to maneuver the contents just to get an effective pour. When we got the cutlery it came on a plate with a single napkin for us to share. These little inconveniences added up. I think they need another server or a hostess, and some staff training. Everyone was very pleasant and seemed to be working hard, but they were all doing the same tasks and repeatedly asking us the same questions. read more

I saw this restaurant on other yelpers (friend's) activities. I was very eager to try it out. I knew the precise day that I would be in the area, so I made it a priority to come in and making it a preferred choice over all of the other restaurants. I walked in expecting this to be a larger venue, but it was modest enough to enjoy and not be neglected of service. The music was tender and can put you in the mood as they played Jill Scott, Donell Jones and several other artists. The aesthetics are well appreciated. The attractive decor consisted of paintings on the walls as well as colors representing other countries and nationalities. The attire is a workplace dress code that strikes a balance between formal business attire and more relaxed everyday clothes. My expectations were very high caused by the pictures on Yelp! I was very disappointed of my own accord because I came with someone that was allergic to seafood. I wanted to have the shrimp and grits, instead I ordered the Omelette deluxe and turkey sausage with grits on the side. I ordered an ordinary mimosa but could not consume the 16oz container because they were not stingy with the alcohol and I had to drive sober. Although the home fries weren't bad, they were crunchy and not too salty but my go to is cut potatoes with peppers and onions. One slice of whole wheat toast is a brilliant suggestion. My companion ordered French Toast with bacon which she enjoyed very much and compared the bacon to a southern style bacon. The staff were cordial, friendly, and attentive. I saw improved interaction from the staff according to what I have read, the young lady was very much appreciated as she presented eye contact and confirmation of orders as she continued to check on us throughout the visit. I did meet Josh the owner and this is a black owned and family operated establishment he is a people's person who thanked us for coming from Queens to support him. Although I had a really good visit, I can see some areas of improvement and that would be when ordering the omelette, I was asked if I wanted peppers, onion, and mushrooms. I wish I had been informed that each added ingredient came with an extra charge. I was a bit perplexed because I always thought it would consist of other ingredients. Also, they swapped the meat on the orders but again I have no complaints. My intentions are to visit again so I can get what I desired most. Josh it was a pleasure meeting you! read more

We went for dinner the food was amazing....loved the cozy feel. Interaction with the owner was appreciated and shows they care.

Cocktails: 8/10 Food: 8.5/10 Service: 7/10 Keep these ratings in mind for your expectations and you won't be disappointed. To be clear- there was one server that made an effort to be friendly and inviting. The others seem like they'd rather be anywhere but at work. read more

Food is tasty seasoned well. My favorite was the Calypso fries didn't need a protein added was delicious without. I feel like it's hard to find a good pancake on LI and they were definitely good. Service is ok there was only one server but she was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I visited for lunch music was playing nice vibes. I will definitely visit again to try more food items. read more

10/10 experience from beginning to end.

Walked in the establishment there were two people at the bar, a party of 4 sitting and a party 2 sitting but finished eating. Walked in greeted the waitress who proceeded to finish her conversation with two guys sitting at the bar before she acknowledged my hello. She than proceeded to seat me I sat for about 15- 20 mins two other gentlemen came in after me whom she sat at the bar as she had intensive conversation with and than proceeded to service them leaving me sitting and she never came back to take my order. I continued to wait and eventually I just got up and left at which time as I am walking out she proceeds to ask from the bar area miss is everything ok at which time I said nothing and left. Absolutely horrible customer service and I do not recommend anyone to patronize this establishment because they are very unprofessional. read more

The place is quite small, and parking is very limited. I ordered the chicken on Jamaican bread, which came with home fries. I would recommend that dish. However, my husband had the shrimp and grits--he literally received only 7 shrimp and about a quarter cup of grits. He added cheese, bringing the total to $19.50, but it honestly wasn't even worth $0.50. I wouldn't recommend ordering that dish, as the grits portion was just three spoonfuls and gone. The server also acted as the attendant and was rather slow and super flirtatious. The restaurant can look full quickly since there are only about 10 table and chair arrangements. I think they change their Menu all the time as what Facebook showed was not there when I dined On July 1, 2025. read more

I LOVE supporting a black owned business and most of the times i've gone to Bayview Kitchen, they've gotten it right but the last time i went, they did not. That would have been fine/not a big deal except after posting and promoting the food on IG (which the restaurant quickly reposted) i took time write up and privately send the below feedback on March 9th: "Hey guys - i love you guys and have loved you every time ive gotten you, whether uber eats delivered or coming in with a group. Just a bit of quick feedback on today's meal. the service was above and beyond and the presentation of everything was gorgeous! The porridge had too much something in it...maybe nutmeg? And the fried fish was not flavorful. I won't speak on behalf of the rest of my table but wanted to share this privately. Looking forward to returning!" i could see immediately that the message was read (read receipts) but no acknowledgedlment. i gave them a MONTH and followed-up. to that, the response was: "Hi! I'll pass this along to the owners. Thank you!" that was on April 15th: I still havent heard anything more. I won't be back but here's to frustration but still wishing you guys growth and success in the future. read more

I wish a place could be 100/10 maybe even a 1000/10. We'll let me tell you about the Brunch meal I had at the Bayview Kitchen. It was amazing!!! Cozy atmosphere made it feel like I was in someone's home. But the flavors were big and could compete with any Manhattan restaurant. The drinks were amazing well made and delicious. One did the job no need for two. I had the Lamb and Sea from the Brunch menu and from the naked wings starter with the custom sauce let me know I was in for a good time. And I time was had because by the time my main course came I was ready to eat. The lamb was succulent and well seasoned and the meal well plated, portioned and cooked to perfection. So if you want a casual brunch option The Bayview Kitchen is it. I can't wait to come back for the lunch menu. I have my eye on the Country wrap has me in a chokehold from the description. Don't hesitate RUN to the Bayview Kitchen. Good eats!!!!!! read more

Good service good vibes good drinks good food , the owner made me a custom drink for my dietary needs

On Sunday's they have a fixed menu I had the Hawaiian Mimosa, sorrel bbq wings (they didn't make it because they were that good), jerk shrimp and grits, and tres leches. I didn't get a picture of the Hawaiian Mimosa because it was also delicious! It was fruity and tropical. The jerk shrimp and grits were well balanced and creamy with a jerk sauce that was an excellent twist on the dish. The tres leches was a great little finisher. It has a bit of what I think was raspberry sauce. The service was extremely quick and efficient. Everything came out hot and fresh. They were playing a mix of music from the 70's 80's 90's easy listening tunes that really brought the energy up in the space. Everyone was knowledgeable and took their time to explain things on the menu. 5/5! read more
