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.

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

Curried Coconut Shrimp

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!

Rum Punch

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.

Surf &Turf / lyonnaise potato

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.

Absolutely delicious authentic Caribbean cuisine. I had the rice and peas with extra gravy and oxtail tacos! Very tasty and the servers were so sweet and attentive. Food came out very fast. Would definitely recommend

Uncooked fried chicken

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.

Thank you Ayanna !

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

Vegan Pasta
Kâzé Y.

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!!

Oxtail taco & Rum Punch
Nikki C.

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 !

Curry Chicken

First time attending the lounge and it was a nice vibe- music was super loud but it could've just been me getting older lol. The service was great- people were very friendly. The food was also very tasty- just pricey for the portions you get in my opinion. All in all. Nice place.

Yeah, I'm probably not going back to this spot. I called…read morethem directly through Yelp to find out the cover and hours of operation. They said there was NO COVER. I repeat, NO COVER. They also said it closes around 2am. Both were lies. So you could only Imagine how furious when I got there an hour later and found out that there in fact was a cover charge. I pulled out my phone and showed them that I just called them and spoke to someone who said otherwise. This goonish enforcer instead repeated they are charging me $10. I said whatever, I'm already there and I gave them a $20 bill! Their brilliant accounting staff gave me back a $5 bill. I said I just gave them a $20 and then they said it was a $15 cover and refused to give me the extra 5 back. I WAS LIED TO ABOUT THE COVER TWICE!! It changes by the second. And it's not about the cost because that's a fair price in NY at that hour, but it's the principle. I was basically lied to and stolen from. That's a horrible way to do business. I'm not going back with my friends in the future. And this just to make the night a little worse, we got a bottle but didn't get a seat. I don't care about that part as much. It was just the extra insult to injury. Again...trash.

This place is zef solid…read more Not disagreeing with the only other reviewer - I've never been here on a club night so cannot speak to the price of those cover charges. Right near the tracks and parking lot, they play good beats (think classic R&B and 80s alt jazz), got live shows, a food truck outside, and regular bartender Joe is on point with his drinks. If you're looking for a different kind of dive, check out Bassline for happy hour - it won't disappoint.
