The food was pretty good. The only thing was that the wigs appetizer the wigs were not cook and told the waitress and see just okay! That was not professional or appropriate. Drinks are great really enjoyed my cocktails. The ambiance was interesting and exciting. The decoration is really amazing. I came here from CT to celebrate my nieces birthday. Would probably come back to chill. read more

Code Red Restaurant & Lounge - Not sure but it was loaded. - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

This year, I really want to try more restaurants in The Bronx and this one did not disappoint. Came on a Thursday night with my friend. They have happy hour from 4 to 9, service was wonderful, a little bit slow when it got busy, but the kindness and professionalism made up for it. Food was really great. We had the oxtail birria tacos, mac and cheese balls, honey garlic wings, muscles and shrimp in garlic sauce and steak tostones. Everything was really good and great pricing for the happy hour special. We also had the margarita flights and a couple of beers. The dj was on point with the music and the vibes were great! read more

Happy Hour! This was my second time coming to Code Red. This is experience was wayyyyy different from the first visit which was amazing. Service, food, everything which made me come back for happy hour. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Monday for happy Hour. The vibes were vibey, old school hip hop and rnb playing. The game playing on several large screen tvs. Happy hour goes until 9pm which is very rare. Drinks were $8 along with a variety of discounted apps. For my cocktail I had a Pineapple Mai Tai with a side of mussels and shrimps. This was the strongest pineapple Mai Tai I've ever had. It was soooo good! And so were the mussels and shrimp. When we placed our drink and app order we also ordered Hookah. Drinks and apps came but the hookah didn't. About 45 mins later I reminded our waitress we were still waiting for the hookah and she said she would check on it. 30mins later we placed our entree order. I again inquired about the hookah and was then told the person that makes the hookah isn't in. Why wasn't that mentioned over an hour ago when it was first ordered? 30mins later she comes back saying the hookah person is in and it'll be right out. 10mins later the hookah was on the table. At this point we inquire about our entree we hadn't received. She said they were short staffed and experiencing delays. That would've been nice to know upon placing the order. We waited an 1hr and 15mins for our entree. Being that we were smoking hookah and had ordered another round of drinks it eased the wait time. Once the food did come out everything was good. My BF had the surf & turf. He asked for the steak to be cooked medium but it was medium well (after that long wait time we weren't sending anything back). I had the oxtail birria taco (good but beware of the bone from the oxtail in the taco). My niece had the oxtail stew which she also said was good. By the time we received the bill and paid it was 9:30pm. The service was horrible, the wait time was horrible. Towards the last 15mins another woman offered apologies for the wait time but at that point we were over it and almost out the door. Nothing was comped on the bill, nothing was offered. We paid the bill, tipped well and made our way out. read more

Code red is always my go to especially when it gets later in the night. The food is always on point and the music is always hittin. Sometimes it could get more pricey but everything is affordable. I tend to graduate towards the rum pum abd some pasta pasta combination. I do enjoy there tacos as well. I go here often enough so no complaints. The vibes is always right here. read more

I went to the establishment for taco Tuesday with a friend wanted to try it out and be there was close to home. I wanted to see what they offered their menu for taco Tuesday was not bad. We ended up having the oxtail tacos, the catfish fritters along with some wings. She had the wrong punch and I had like the pineapple Mai Thai. Everything was good. They were renovating so unfortunately they didn't have my Yankee game but they have good music. We ended up sitting at the bar. The service was great. We enjoyed it and we will try going again read more

Great spot,service and drinks are the best! Love the vibe food is good, definitely a place to see for yourself! Loved it!!

I went here recently with my newly engaged friends, and the food was really good. I was a little disappointed that we missed out on bottomless brunch by like 10 minutes but it was still a nice time. I ordered the Coconut Curried Shrimp and it was cooked very nicely, I just wish there were a little more shrimp in the serving. I also ordered 2 Rose Sangrias and they were so good honestly I slept really well after this meal lol so I know that it had a lot of soul in it. The owner gave us free shots at the end and she was super attentive the whole time. My friends had a good time celebrating their engagement, there was a live DJ who gave them a nice shout out and everyone was having a ball, I love that it's local and I will be back for brunch! read more

Happy Hour Done Right (Mostly) If you're looking for a solid happy hour spot, Code Red delivers. The vibes? On point. The music? Actually matched the mood--none of that sad, slow stuff that makes you rethink your life choices mid-sip. The atmosphere had just the right mix of energy without feeling like a full-blown nightclub. The drinks? Decent. Not mind-blowing, but they got the job done. If you're here for handcrafted, mixologist-level cocktails, you might leave underwhelmed. But if you're just trying to sip, vibe, and enjoy the scene, Code Red is a win. read more

The service SUCK!!!!! and the food on a scale from 1 to 10 is just a 6. Either hire more servers or don't let so many people in. Food was cold on top of everything. read more

I went for a birthday dinner. Code Red definitely has good music playing in there. They did have a live DJ that kept saying that the music plays until 2am. By 10pm, they had a security line set up outside FYI. The service and the food could have been better. It took awhile to get drinks and to get our order placed. If you are hungry, eat something before because you might be waiting a bit. I tried the Rasta pasta (6.5/10), surf & turf (6.5/10) and the platter (8/10). The platter had sweet plantain, curry goat, jerk chicken, oxtails, and rice. The sweet plantain, jerk chicken and curry goat were good. read more

Food was good! The seafood was good. My favorite thing was the cabbage, it was very delicious. I know exactly what to get next time. The lobster Mac & cheese is not what I expected and wasn't good at all skip it trust me. It's just Mac & cheese with a lobster tail on top not actually inside of it. Our server was very nice and on point. She was great! Her name was Rosemary I believe. Ambiance is nice and comfortable. They are a little pricey. read more

Oh my my. This was my 2nd time here. 1st time was over a year ago. So plus was the music and the guava bellini, and the price. For this I am giving 2 stars. Arrived @ 1:30 on Sunday June 8. All the social media hype has definitely paid off. Party of 2, no wait and seated right away. We waited at our table and noone came to speak to us. All the person did was seat us. No info was given about the cost etc. Given that noone came we got up and went to the buffet. We were greeted by one of the servers who asked us about a wrist band. We had no clue at which time she told us that it was $45 pp, all you can eat and drink. But when she went to charge us I noticed that the price was $115. I asked what we the difference she stated it was due to tax etc. We paid and then started to get food. My plate jerk chicken, fry chicken, rice and peas, ground provision. ALL COLD!!!!!! Jerk had nice flavor, smoky, seasoned but COLD. Fried Chicken undercooked, bloody. Rice and peas shelly but COLD!!!!. His plate jerk pork, egg and cheese wrap, rice and peas and cornmeal porridge. Everything but the porridge was cold. We both agreed that had the food been warm then maybe it would have tasted better. We mentioned that the food was cold and the server informed that they just changed out the burners. We tried another round. Our plate, callaloo, ackee and saltfish, rice and peas. A little warmer but callaloo was not seasoned, ackee and saltfish was salty. Gave this a 2nd chance hoping it was better but this will be the last time. read more

Code Red Restaurant & Lounge - Uncooked fried chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

I found this place on instagram and ended up going the week of my birthday. I was not disappointed! Just like the videos on their Instagram page no lie! My hostess name was Ayanna F. She made me honestly feel like i was at home. My family is Jamaican so the area being Gun Hill majority Jamaican and Caribbean made me feel really at home. It was a full house i liked that it showed they get alot of crowd but her hospitality was through the roof she made sure we had everything we asked for and more. She made us feel like it was just us there she recommended the Lemon Drop and it sure did drop me lol i had a great time me and my boyfriend appreciate and love how we were treated there. Will be back soon. The decor is amazing and enough room to lowkey be a dancedfloor. It did become a dancedfloor once the DJ announced all the birthday people and played some good tunes. I came all the way from Hollis Queens (Bianca) the birthday girl Ayanna if you're reading this i really appreciate the hospitality and stay awesome you were 10 out of 10. We will be back soon! The pictures don't do the place enough justice really a top tier caribbean restaurant. As a daughter of former Jamaican restaurant owners this was fire recommend to everyone. Thanks Again CodeRed read more

Check it, it's Wednesday evening, so there isn't a packed house. The good vibes upon entrance was decent. You'd think with this disclaimer the service and vibe lasted, but no honey it was short of great because the "bartender" sat at the end of the bar smoking hookah with the hookah girl for 40 minutes while we waited for our food. I spoke to him three separate times asking about our orders. Zero out of three times did he bother to check in with the cooks in the back. It wasn't until I asked for the check--ready to walk out--that he suddenly found the strength to speak to the kitchen and finally bring our food out. Meanwhile, delivery orders were going out smoothly, before ours was even acknowledged. And then the audacity to auto-include 18% gratuity--ha!--when not even 1% of good service was present. Musics great, Decor is a 3, black owned-- but not business led, service is a 2, professionalism is non existent, food is B- !! I thoroughly enjoyed my vegan plant based meal at home!! read more

Have been here several times & I LOVE IT HERE. Today I had the lobster Mac & cheese with the oxtail tacos. They gave a whole lobster tail with the Mac. I was in heaven. My fav drink is the rum punch. You honestly only have to finish one half of the punch and you WILL feel it. So tasty & the drink will sneak up on you. Tarshawna waited on me & per usual she was extremely attentive and pleasant. The Halloween decorations are so nice around this time of year. The ambiance is lovely. Even the bathroom is clean and pretty. Will be returning again ! read more

Came to unwind after a long shift at the hospital and Happy Hour at Code Red did NOT disappoint! The rum punch was refreshing, delicious, and hit just right--we each had at least three, and my friend had seven... she was LIT! The DJ kept the vibes high with great reggae tracks, and the whole place turned into a dance floor. Everyone was partying together like family--classic New York energy! Electric atmosphere, amazing drinks, and a night to remember. We didn't order anything to eat so I can't say anything about the service, but the bartenders were friendly and made good drinks! read more

I am not gonna lie there food is amazing.... Oxtail Mac and cheese highly favored. The service is pretty slow that is the only down fall, if they had better servers this place would be off the charts.. the drinks we decent also but just took a long time.. but the food amazing ... read more

I went to Code Red to celebrate a birthday. It was a big party and the restaurant was accommodating. First drink orders were taken. I had a few drinks but the rum punch was the best. They had a live DJ, hookah options and pretty good food. The Red snapper dish was very good, good flavor, spice and portion size. The oxtail lomein was tasty but the sauce came across a little too sweet and greasy. Our server was attentive and most of the food came out within reasonable time. Overall it was a good experience and my friend enjoyed her birthday, needs a few changes to the menu. read more

Worst experience ever..... upon entering the building had to wait approximately 20 minutes to be seated. Several waitresses walked by and said they were looking for seating for my party, while seating other guests that came in after I did. We were told we had to pay first which was fine and the brunch was $57 per person. It was three of us and the bill was only charged to my credit card, which was never handed back to me in my hand. Then the waitress never came back to the table, never saw her again. This particular brunch is a Buffet style, You have to grab a plate and go get your food. Plates were dirty, greasy, particles of food left on the bottom and the top of the plate from the previous user. I purposely went to this establishment because I love oxtails. Let's get into that for a second they gave you a macaroni and cheese bowl (cold) with one oxtail on top of it. CRAZY!!!! and to top it off as I stated, never saw the waitress after being seated. Why did she get an 18% gratuity for what ? at this point I had had enough I will never return. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

Had the seafood plater 70 dollars for 10 pieces of mussels a split corn split small potato dry lobster tail and raw sausage. Yes raw it was pink inside. Lady was nice that served us but that's it. Food was utterly disgusting. We had a group of 6 so they added gratitude which I don't understand since we barley got water took 30 min for a drink took forever took forever to be seen at the end to get the check Had to find the waitress. My friend are not like this but we could if walked out and not payed but we searched for the waitress to pay. Thank God for amex. Will be back charging for the raw food and gratuity. Your not getting a tip for horrible service and raw food read more

I've frequented Code Red quite a few times throughout the past couple of years and I do enjoy the vegetarian menu. The last entree I had here was the ackee with veggie chunks and a side of plantain. The chunks were well seasoned and you wouldn't be able to tell the saltfish wasn't in it. The food was prepared well and tasted good. It's also a plus that they offer many choices for sides. read more

I don't get to the Bronx often and would have not have thought of going there for dinner. One of my close friends chose Code Red to celebrate her birthday and this place did not disappoint. From the time we walked in until leaving, everything was amazing. The DJ was awesome. He kept playing music that took the vibe to another level. Our server was professional, personable and did not miss a beat making sure we had everything we needed. I love good customer service and our server gave great customer service. I would definitely recommend! read more
