Visited on a busy Saturday evening and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered an iced tea/lemonade, and my meal was a piece of catfish, side of mac, and it came with cornbread. The food was delicious, I will definitely return. There was no line to order when I arrived, but we were directed to order at a kiosk since they were short staffed up front. The young man at the counter was very busy but kind and I could see the workers in the kitchen working hard as well. The ambiance was typical for a fast casual restaurant. Some people grabbing takeout orders, delivery app workers doing pickups, and dine in patrons at tables. There were seating options for couples as well as groups. I definitely do recommend and will return next time I'm in the area. read more

This place is lovely and a great addition to the neighborhood! The staff were so welcoming and helpful. I've been there before in the summer, but it wasn't quite my cup of tea. ( I also ordered tea) I tried again with some friends. Today was the first time I've been inside and actually sat down. Once you order, they ask for your name and then serve your table by calling your name. It's cute. As for the food... I ordered the fried chicken with potato salad, dressing and cornbread and peach cobbler. My chicken looked good, but tasted a little dry. Maybe it was just being under a light for a bit. I visited in the evening. Who knows? My potato salad was a bit bland, and I was hoping for some pickle relish mixed in. (If you know, you know.) I'm not a fan of cobbler, but I thought I'd give it a shot. They also had apple cobbler, which I should have stuck with. I can't tell you how the cornbread dressing was. When I got home they forgot to pack it. I don't think I'll be back, but it's a nice place to sit and chat with others while they enjoy their meals. read more

Cornbread Brooklyn - Peach cobbler - Soul Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was a delivery. Fried chicken - very crunchy and flavorful but way too dry Collards - delicious nice kick but should be drained Mac cheese - wonderful flavor but too salty and no crispy top Cornbread? The star The order came quickly but was pricey read more

Definitely tasty, one of the best soul food combos I've had that was not at all salty. The portions are a great size and the customer service is really good too. I think they need to rethink the apple cobbler, I didn't enjoy it at all and could also taste spiced food in it, they should keep it covered. The wait time was way too long and it seemed like the workers didn't have the support they needed to get us out in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise, I'll be back! read more

This is my new favorite soul food spot in Brooklyn. The food was flavorful and fresh. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is clean and comfortable. They have a lot of tables, so there are plenty of places to sit. The fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens were delicious. There is a reason this place is called cornbread. They make some of the best cornbread I ever had, top 5 cornbreads hands down. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, so I finally came with my husband and his family. The line was very long, and there's no table service--which I think they should consider adding. The staff was very pleasant, and the playlist definitely set a nice vibe. Just a heads up: they don't serve alcohol. We ordered the fried catfish, mac and cheese, collard greens, and peach cobbler. The food overall was good. The collard greens were very flavorful, and the mac and cheese was okay. The catfish, though, was over-fried and could've been better. My husband really enjoyed the peach cobbler. read more

Cornbread Brooklyn - Soul Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cornbread Brooklyn is a solid spot for soul food. The oxtail and fried chicken are both really good. The Mac and cheese is tasty, and I love the potato salad. The only thing is that the price is fairly high for what you're getting. Other soul food spots I've been to have much cheaper prices and have similar or better quality. read more

Cornbread is on Eastern Parkway, so I was surprised to find street parking right out front. There are two doors to enter, we used the front door closest to the register. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating, mostly booths and a large dinning area in the back. There was no hostess or greeter, we were standing there waiting to be seated. After waiting for a while, we were told by the cashier to order from the menu, grab a number, place it on the table and they will bring the food out. We ordered Baked Chicken with mac & cheese and collard greens on the side. The bake chicken was seasoned well, mac & cheese was seasoned and the cheese was soft. The leaves on the green were big. My sister ordered catfish with potato salad and Collard greens on the side. She loved the catfish! All entree are served with cornbread, the cornbread tasted like a buttery pound cake. The only con is there is no condiments on the table. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

I couldn't believe how much space was in this restaurant considering it's located in Brooklyn. We were served quickly, but it took a while for the food to come out. It was fine though since we were catching up with friends. I ordered the Two Piece Chicken Special with greens on the side. The cornbread was the star of the show. It was sweet, soft, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was fried and seasoned well. The greens were okay. I would have loved to taste a little vinegar on them but that might be a southern thing. I'd return to this restaurant and try something else on the menu. read more

Server John recommended the catfish and it did not disappoint. John was welcoming and friendly. It was crispy with a light batter-- moist in the center and fried perfectly. Unfortunately, they ran out of cornbread so I was given an extra side. Potato salad and Mac and cheese were both heavenly. Everything was well seasoned and I loved the flavors. Generous portions. read more

Disappointed today! I drove from far because I enjoy the food.,unfortunately I received hard yellow rice. The bottom of the pan hard rice. It's usually moist and delicious. And I ordered two of them. Both hard! I tried calling but couldn't get anyone. I'm so surprised that anyone would even think of serving this to any customer. Any the cabbage was very salty. Definitely a different cook today.? I'm very disappointed ; and the food is expensive.:( I can't I believe I paid $42.41 for this ! What in heavens name happened today???? read more

Need some good soul food? This is the spot to hit up. Came here with a friend for dinner and we decided to try just about everything on the menu. The Fried Chicken tasted great. Battered and fried to perfection and the meat was moist. We also got the Fried Catfish, which I was surprised how that tasted. It is lightly battered and seasoned nicely. The fish itself was not dried out. For sides, the Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad are must have. Collard Greens were pretty good if you're trying to be on the healthier side. Yellow Rice is decent, but I'd probably get the first two mentioned over the rice. We also got a Apple and Peach Cobbler. The Apple Cobbler tastes much better than the Peach. My soul was definitely satisfied from this meal. Only if they opened a location in Manhattan. read more

This place is so comforting and has hands down THE BEST CORNBREAD I'VE EVER TASTED!!! I visited on a Sunday afternoon with my family and everyone loved their food. The only critique was that we wish the fried chicken came with condiments for the kids. Everything was well seasoned. We ordered catfish, baked chicken, fried chicken which were all 10/10. I was skeptical about the mac n cheese from some other users reviews but I'm happy to say that it's amazing. Not to mention kid approved. The yams tasted healthy and not overly sweet as I experience at many other soul food restaurants. I'd go on and on about each dish but by now I think you get the point. This place is a must try. My only critique is that the food orders were plated incorrectly. Whoever set up the plates just threw various combinations together so my family had to figure it out. One positive is that each staff member provided excellent service and was friendly. On Sunday there were quite a few customers but it wasn't crowded. The noise level was also relatively low. It's great for children who don't like loud environments. read more

1 star for cornbread being moist and tasty. 1 star for sweet tea Mac n' cheese was overcooked and salty Service is some of the worst I ever experienced. Staff completely ignores any customer. They were constantly forgetting parts of orders. I waited over 30 minutes for two sides and a drink. I asked if anything was vegetarian. They ignored me at first and then could not give me a straight answer. There were a lot of maybes. I had to ask if my order would be ready soon and was ignored three times. I don't know how they stay in business. They don't have any customer service. They don't even give you sauces. read more

I did a pickup order and I can say customer service is definitely great. The ambiance is amazing and very chilled vibes. I had the fried chicken, mac n cheese, collard greens, yams and cornbread. The Mac n cheese was not what I expected and lacked cheese along with flavor 2/5 . All of my other sides and chicken did taste great 4/5. As for the cornbread it's good but if an establishment is called "Cornbread" I want the cornbread to stand out like real "CORNBREAD" it was giving standard cornbread flavor, but nonetheless tasty. It's a little on the pricier side but they do have a fried chicken lunch special you can get for cheaper. I'd stop on by again if I'm in the area. read more

First thing that happens is that your greeted with a smile from one of the young ladies behind the counter. The service gets a 10/10. The interior is clean and neat. Now to the important part, the food... I got the 4 piece meal with two sides. The fried chicken is moist and flavorful. I give it a 10/10. The sides were the white rice with gravy. Very simple rice, and flavorful gravy. I give it a 8/10. Now the 2nd side was the yams. OMG SO GOOD! Right blend of cinnamon and sugar. Easily a 10/10! For dessert I had the peach cobbler.... Don't bother. Gross, no flavor and mushy. 1/10. read more

Came here after a long walk through the botanical garden and we were craving some heavier food and this hit the spot. A bit of a wait to order but the food came out super quick! Everything was so tasty and well seasoned. The portions were great as well. The drinks (southern twang and sweet tea) were delicious and we wish there were bigger size. Getting a seat was easy and the prices weren't bad either. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's in the neighborhood! read more

The mac and cheese here is amaaaaazing. Hands down my favorite. We liked everything we ordered. We split the turkey wings, potato salad, cornbread, fried chicken and waffles, rice with gravy. Reviews were mixed on the peach cobbler. Kind of wished there was more of a crust. The sweet tea and uptown drinks were also delicious. Sylvia gave really good service, offering us a free sample of southern twang when we just asked what was in it. The place was modern and spacious. The music was on point. We all really enjoyed our brunch here. It was a really nice vibe. read more

Such a good meal. Our server Naomi was amazing. This is the definition of Soul Food. Great flavor and taste down to the last bite.

The fried chicken was great, I highly recommend it! Make room on your calendar for a well deserved nap afterwards! read more

From around the corner as we walked up to the entrance, we could smell the soul food cooking inside. It only made us more excited! I opted for the two piece with Mac and cheese as my side and my boyfriend did the three piece. I felt the Mac and cheese was just okay - I'd probably go for another side next time. The star of the show was the piping hot fried chicken and of course, the cornbread. That little slice of cornbread stole the show in my opinion. I'd go back just for that tbh. read more

The service at cornbread is A+ we were greeted like we are part of the family. Love it! I went with my family and they agreed the fried chicken, catfish meal and catfish sandwich, cornbread and drinks are "buss-in" I didn't care for the potato salad it was a 7 and the yams are a 7. I think it's just not the way we're use to. We will be back regardless Family said it's definitely a mistake not to visit again. I agree! read more

I had the pleasure of going to Cornbread in Brooklyn this weekend. The catfish entree came with 2 pieces and had the option of one or 2 sides and complimentary cornbread. I chose collared greens and Mac and cheese for my sides. The catfish was seasoned very well with a light batter. Fish was delicious and juicy. Collared greens were also cooked well. Mac and cheese was cheesy with a decent cheese pull. I really enjoyed the cornbread which was fluffy and buttery. I think the peach cobbler was okay tho. Service was fast and the lady who took my order was nice and guided me through the process of ordering. It was a lot of food could feed 2 honestly. read more

I knew I had to wait for my food but again I am confused as to why my food looked as if it were under the heat lamp too long my meal today felt like a real high sodium intake.

First, don't expect fine dining or a true sit down restaurant when you come here. Despite ample seating, it's more of a fast casual spot. There's kiosks to order and a live cashier at Chipotle like stations. Everything looks clean and well maintained. Now, we were definitely pleasantly surprised by the food. All were hot and delicious so I'd definitely recommend it. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because there's not much direction for newbies. Initially we didn't realize that it wasn't a sit down spot, didn't know where to sit, and there's a strong smell- it's food related but overpowering. read more

The restaurant has plenty of seating and availability. The staff were iffy with customer service as they didn't respond to my pleasantries but the gentleman that put my order together was nice enough to add another piece of chicken. Now speaking of my order. It smelled delicious and I was excited and knew that it would taste good as I pull the pieces of chicken out of the box. Unfortunately the breast was over cooked but the breading and skin were good. The wing and thigh were alright. The Mac and cheese were somewhat average. Nothing to write home about or order again. The cornbread was surprisingly sweet. read more
