    Jerk Salmon and Rasta pasta.
    Carla S.

    The salmon is a small slim piece with no bbq jerk flavor. The Rasta pasta isn't Rasta pasta at all, it tastes like a cheap pasta sauce, almost as if no cheese is used in the recipe. I purchased buy one get one and I'm left with 2 meals that aren't worth eating at all. The cornbread is nice. That's where the one star went, to a side item.

    Brooklyn Waffle House was our first meal after arriving in the city, and it set the bar high! A very welcoming environment, smooth service, and delicious food! We had the buttermilk chicken and waffles a with a side of cheese grits. Everything was delicious! A local gem!

    Brooklyn waffle house has the best soul food in Brooklyn. I've been looking for a soul food restaurant that reminds me of cooking in the south and this place definitely gives me those memories. I had Turkey wings which were falling off the done it was so tender and packed with delicious flavor. The Mac and cheese was super cheesy and moist. The customer service was top tier. I definitely recommend this place if you want some great soul food. This inside has a nice ambiance and a nice grass wall for picture.

    The owner lied an said I asked for salmon cooked well done ..PROCEEDED TO SEND A BURNT SLITHER .. the uber eats request was for grilled.

    if you go onto their store direct reviews, you will see how rude the owner responds to unhappy patrons will all similar complaints. the food is dry! salmon should not be on their menu because its never prepared properly! the owner stands behind staff with poor standards but high prices! wait time is awful. zero accountability for the money an time people waste there. everyone cant be going out their way in this. city to write bad reviews for nothing!

    Came here on a gorgeous spring weekday and there was a lite crowd. Was greeted with energy and politeness by the two wonderful hosts. Seared ourslves ( a family party of 3). There is outdoor and indoor seating. Tables are comfortable distance apart from each other both indoor and outdoor. Space is beautifully decorated with nice music playing in the background. We sat indoors and was tended to right away. I ordered the Oreo pancakes and sweet chili chicken, my sister ordered waffles and chicken and my niece Strawberry pancakes. For drinks we ordered strawberry lemonade. The servings for food and drink were def filling. Service was quick. Food came out almost immediately after ordering. This business gets a good amount of take out traffic and I can see why. It was 60 dollars before tip for the 3 of us which is not bad. We drove so I'm not sure if public transportation. They are also on Uber eats and grub hub. Would def recommend and visit again

    New spot in Bed Stuy. I've passed by this place few times but the signage never stated when it would open. They had a grand opening about 2 weeks ago. Tried it out today for lunch. Seems like a lot of ppl are excited as well, I saw a lot of deliveries being picked up. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Cash and card accepted. No liquor but tons of lemonade options, coffee and tea. We ordered the following: -Bacon waffle with shrimp $17+ -Strawberry waffle with chicken $15+ -Passion fruit lemonade $3 -Strawberry Lemonade $3 The waffles were excellent, would definitely come back for them. I enjoyed the bacon, it was mixed within the waffle. The Strawberry waffles has like a Strawberry filling/jam that you could put on top of your waffle. The shrimp was seasoned nicely but they were kind of small and fried hard. I added a piece of chicken thigh for $1.50! Not bad. Took home half the waffle and the chicken to finish later. They do have another location on nostrand which has a wider variety of offerings. For my next visit I'd like to try their waffle sandwich or the reggae pasta. Happy to have more variety in the neighborhood. Check out @ifancyny on Instagram for more

    Poor excuse for pancakes!
    C I.

    How on earth can anyone make this let alone serve it to another human. Not even a dog should be fed this poor excuse for pancakes. The fact that I was so hungry made me try it & it tasted like complete garbage & spoiled batter mixed wit oil + grease. Absolutely disgusting beyond words. I've always spent hundreds of dollars supporting this business and they keep getting worst every time. Their iced coffee was literally nothing more than milk and ice. Also the only other thing they have that tastes good atp is their fruit punch which is no longer on their menu via Ubereats. A huge waste of my time, money and a complete violation to my tastebuds. I called them and they were unapologetic and of no help. They told me to call Uber eats? How is that even a suggestion. I ended up contacting Uber eats and they would not issue me a refund. I'm done supporting this establishment.

    Amazing service and hospitality! If you want a exquisite and delicious breakfast stop by Brooklyn Waffle House, the menu has various different waffles, pancakes and French toast flavors! Highly recommend this place if your around Bedstuy area

    French toast & sausage
    Farrah B.

    I've been waiting for this place to open for quite some time and noticed it was operational a few weeks ago. Its really nice when the neighborhood gets new places. So invited my friend out and we came for brunch on a Saturday morning. The inside and outside were clean and appropriately spaced. We were seated and shown the menu QR Code by a friendly server. She answered all our questions and we placed our orders. And the wait was on. First the beverages. Water was filtered and really good. My friend's coffee was strong and decent. The oj, not so good. She didn't expect fresh squeezed, but at least a quality store bought variety would have been appreciated. She said the French toast and sausage were ok, but she had a slight allergic reaction to something so she decided to take it home to finish just in case she had a flare up. The red velvet waffle tasted like regular buttermilk, but it was fluffy and delicious. It even reheated well in the toaster oven. Was it worth the $2 upcharge? No, no it was not. The chicken was..... varied. Note: Chicken and waffles are sold with dark meat, leg and thigh or white meat tenders (White meat $3 upcharge). Trying to substitute pieces is a headache. Trust me when I tell you this, it will save you grief. Ok. The leg.... delicious. Juicy, crispy, flavorful and beautifully cooked. The Tenders.... dry and flavorless. I hope they will brine the tenders they way they do the dark meat. I tried reheating an adding sauce at home... nope. Still a struggle. I want to patronize them again, but I think I'll wait a while.

    pricey with ambiguous/concerning quality ... the food (excluding the chicken) was pretty good. we got a red velvet waffle with chicken, and the chicken was a bit concerning. it smelled a bit carcassy and even in the pictures, you can see it looks off. we ended up being refunded for the chicken, but other customers sitting opposite to us also were concerned about the quality of the chicken because theirs had feathers on it and it smelled off to them as well. it's fine that we were refunded, but i also looked at the other chickens going out in a box to be delivered, and the quality didn't look to be any better. if i were to come here again, i'd prefer to stay away from the chicken just because it's really concerning and it could be that the chicken isn't being refrigerated at the right temperature and everything including the oil could be spoiled. as for the rest of the food, i found the omelette to be quite tasty, but i saw in other reviews they noted the food didn't come out hot but warm almost as if it had been reheated rather than cooked from scratch upon ordering. the home fries were good, same with the toast. my friend liked his waffles and said they were really good. the service here was good, but they weren't overly attentive so it's not exactly a diner experience (not that they claimed to me - but just have those casual expectations), but they were still very friendly regardless. it would be nice if they offered a non dairy milk option for their coffee too. i'm a bit hesitant to come here again. everything else we got excluded the refunded chicken came out to $38 for a meal for two which is on the pricey considering the ambiguous quality and C rating the restaurant has. there were ants crawling around on the walls while we were eating too, which made the experience a little less pleasant than it already was re/ the chicken. i really hope they can improve the quality of their chicken because this place otherwise is really inviting and has a cool menu, but the prices are too expensive in my view for the quality.

    I just kind of stumbled on this spot to check it out, let's get into it. The service was decent no complaints the staff was nice but I feel they were a bit lackadaisical why I say this is because they didn't bring my order out completed but w.e, the place was clean very nice looking but I didn't like that the 2 seater table was so small came for a meeting so some extra space would have been nice. Now to the food, the portion size is good definitely enough for 1 person, I had the strawberry waffles & chicken. I would say it's right on par with any other chicken and waffle spot! it was really good I enjoyed every bite & lick! they give you a special strawberry sauce to put on your waffles ugh so good! i'll definitely be back. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT

    Good eats.

    I stopped writing reviews because Ive been a-little busy but I have to write one about this place because every single time I eat here I'm never disappointed. Food is always on point . Crispy, flavorful chicken, a variety of waffles to choose from and they're all delicious . Mom came to visit me and I decided to bring her to there for brunch . Needless to say she enjoyed it . Love it and its local . Thx BWH.

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

This place was the winner, and it was everyone's first time. We got in at our reserved time, and we had to wait about 5 minutes before our table was ready. Once it was, we were taken care of and quite frankly had no idea what treat we were in for! Let's start with the drinks. They have a drink on the menu called Celadon City. Who won the staff as a pokémaniac?! I had to get it just for the name. The rice vodka, yuzu, melon liqueur, and other flavors made it a fantastic, summery drink. My friends got the Smooth Landing & Smooth Talker ... One was a fantastic dirty martini and the other had the best bite of ginger. The food... Oh my God. We decided to split the breads and spreads and burrata... Each came with their housemade grilled focaccia, and the smoked paprika hummus and ricotta with chili honey? WHEW! The burrata dish with the sweet potato, pesto and tomato jam was a hit too. The menu didn't even say I'd have a balsamic drizzle on top! All of that was just the warm up... My gnocchi dish was spectacular. I'm not even a big mushroom person, but those oyster mushrooms and charred kale were a hit in the pasta. My friends' gigli pasta and mussels were great too. We ended up sharing a bottle of white wine as well, and the dinner was truly a 5/5. 0 I would absolutely go back, and it seems like their menu changes every now and then. I'm looking forward to the next time! Even if it's just for a cocktail.

Desserts shone, from the millefeuille to cherry panna cotta with contrasting jellied top and luscious pudding beneath. Only quibble: a spoon would serve the panna cotta better than a fork for scooping every drop. When we asked, they graciously brought one, even noting they should consider always doing so. Reservations are scarce for good reason - Four Horsemen is a gem. I'll gladly vie for a table again to see what other creative dishes emerge from this kitchen. With just a bit more attention to small details like cutlery pairings, it would earn that final star.

We ordered two appetizers with distinctive sauces, and when our plates weren't cleared after the first course, we made what I thought was a very reasonable request for fresh plates. That simple request seemed to send our server over the edge. At a restaurant of this caliber, I would expect fresh plates and silverware to be brought automatically between courses. Instead, the staff insisted that we keep using the same silverware throughout the meal. Later in the evening, I sat with an empty cocktail glass for quite a while. I tried making eye contact with our server, who appeared to avoid our table by turning her back and refusing to look over. I suspect she noticed me in her peripheral vision because she abruptly said, "I'll be with you in just a moment." I wasn't waving her down or trying to interrupt her. I simply wanted a wine list, which could have been dropped off in seconds for me to browse while she continued helping other tables. Instead, after I asked, she prioritized several other tasks before eventually bringing it over. At one point, my friends joked that "the food is great in Brooklyn, but the service is rude." That honestly made me sad to hear because it doesn't reflect the Brooklyn I've known over the past 14 years. I've always found it to be warm and welcoming. I'm not sure what happened to Sailor, but this experience couldn't have been more different from my first visit, as reflected in my previous review. Before dismissing this as someone being overly critical, it's worth noting that I worked in the service industry for 17 years. I know restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. But basic hospitality, attentiveness, and professionalism should still be part of the experience, especially at a restaurant of this quality.
