Service at the counter could've been friendlier. The young girls in the front could use a refresher course in greeting customers, explaining how things work to new customers like myself, as well as speaking instead of looking confused when asked questions. Other than that, the space is clean, nice decor and spacious. The food was good. Recommend the catfish! read more

Unfortunately I am disappointed. This was my favorite place in brooklyn for soul food. The last time I was here I also sat inside and didn't do takeout so I don't know if that is why the food doesn't taste as good. The Whiting that I got was not good The taste was off and definitely not worth $25. The collard greens were not flavored correctly. The mac & cheese was good and the cornbread was good. The service inside was fine. read more

The name definitely speaks for itself because the cornbread was delicious! Very moist and sweet just like how I like it. The fried whiting could use some more flavor and the rice with Turkey gravy. I thought the macaroni and cheese was pretty good and the chicken was seasoned well. The southern twang drink tasted like either minute maid Orangeade or Tampico Citrus punch. I would come back if there is nothing else to eat in the area. read more

Read the many mix of reviews ..I decided to give it a try. set up like a fast food place, but it does have seating as a dine in restaurant the old R&B music was playing., All the other customers seem like they are from down south too lol anyhow I got the three-piece chicken. They didn't ask me what pieces I wanted, but I got a breast a wing and a thigh, which was decent. I got lucky it just came out the frying pan. It was good for a fast food soul food to me. The chicken was fried to a tea. The macaroni was the best macaroni I've had for a restaurant in a while. The cornbread was moist. They could keep the yellow rice and drink was nice and sweet. The young lady who who helped me was pleasant . I know they're gonna have a high water bill because the water in the first bathroom doesn't shut off. I give a four stars one star for the chicken one star the macaroni, one star for the cornbread and one star for their sweet tea. If you don't feel like cooking, you can go here. read more

This gave me a touch of home. I really loved everything I got from the cornbread, fried chicken, collard greens (extra yummy!) and mac and cheese. When it comes to cornbread everyone has their preferences, I personally love a variety of different kinds and for different reasons. This one is more like a cake but it is super moist and dessert like. I loved it. Mixed with some of the savory sides, it was such a delicious and balanced meal. This is a very fast, casual spot, perfect for a lazy meal or a weeknight dinner. I happened to come in right after a crowd of 30 people all eating together and they were kind enough to bring my food out quickly before they had to fill their large order, great service. read more

I took my mother to lunch for her birthday and came across Cornbread while searching. Many of my Yelp friends had great things to say, so I ventured here. Upon arrival, I noticed the large outdoor seating outside and a rather large indoor space. As it was our first time here, I was confused about what to get, but the lady was very helpful and patient with me. I ordered the whitting with two sides (Mac and Yams). Fried Chicken (Mac and Collard Greens) for my mother and Fried Chicken (Macaroni) first my daughter. You have the choice of going with one side or two sides with the entree. Also, you can choose between three or four pieces of chicken. The food didn't take too long, but despite being a casual fast food, they bring your order to your table. The food was wonderful-- my mother was a huge fan of the food. I ordered a peach and Apple cobbler to go. I had the Apple cobbler, which I didn't car for too much, but that was okay, since I was happy with my meal side from the dessert. I would definitely recommend this place for a lunch or dinner. Also, I commend the staff because they actually seem to care about the patrons. As I waited for my take/out, I was asked about my thoughts, the food, the experience, and whether it was my first time here, which I appreciated. read more

The food was already prepared and ready for serving, with other food selections not taking long to be made, resulting in a very short wait time. The staff was exceptional, demonstrating remarkable respect, kindness, understanding, and attentiveness to their customers' food and well-being. The ambiance is exceptional, offering both an indoor and outdoor option. Customers can enjoy the cozy family setting indoors or the spacious outdoor tables, which are comparable in size to those inside. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment. While it may be slightly pricey, the exceptional quality of the food, service, and atmosphere make it a worthwhile investment. read more

Ordered: 4pc Fried Chicken Meal with 1 side (~$20): mac & cheese side, comes with cornbread 2pc Fried Catfish Meal with 1 side (~$19): candied yams side, comes with cornbread Southern Twang (~$4) Peach Cobbler (~$6) Aya's take: For a place called Cornbread, you would think they have some bomb cornbread? YES, they do! Before I even get to the food, I can't even explain how incredible the cornbread was. It was moist, sweet, slightly crisp on the outside, and pillowy soft on the inside. If you get nothing else, just try the cornbread!! The Fried Chicken & Fried Catfish were both delicious. Nicely fried, not too greasy, and definitely seasoned. We were debating between the catfish and whiting, and without a second thought, the worker told us catfish and I'm so glad she did. It was some of the best I've had. The Mac & Cheese was a bit dry for my taste; the hot sauce helped with that. Similarly, the Candied Yams were a bit too sweet (as expected) but still really delicious. By the time we got around to the Peach Cobbler, I was so full and didn't need that extra sweetness because of the cornbread and candied yams but it was still a good try. The Southern Twang was refreshing but definitely on the sweeter side too. It did complement the fried meals pretty well. Highly recommend! read more

Consistently tasty fish and chicken in Crown Heights. I came here on a whim one evening because of the high ratings and reviews. The proteins did no my disappoint. Since then, I've been back 2 times (in about a month). I even find myself craving the flaky lightly fried fish...yummmmmmy. I typically get the catfish and fried chicken wings here. I'm not big on the sides, but if you must, have the yams and the potato salad, and of COURSE the yummy cornbread. The peach cobbler is a tasty dessert option. The place is brightly lit and has two accessible gender neutral restrooms. There is cool Jazz-themed artwork that makes me smile for the acknowledgment, and the staff chirp, "welcome to Cornbreeeeeeeeead" when you come in the front door to let you know they see you and are glad you are here. Thanks for the great customer focused service Omaury. I appreciate you going out of your way to make sure my order was hot and fresh. read more

You know the food is good, when you order too much and you eat it all anyway. This place should have a total score of at least 4.5, i don't know what anyone is thinking giving it less than 5 stars. We had the fried catfish and fried chicken, with mac and cheese, black eyed peas, yams and a peach cobbler. The fried chicken and fried catfish are probably top 5 that I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten a lot of fried chicken. Everything we got was delicious, their namesake Cornbread was soft, buttery and great. The Mac and cheese is good, but not the best I've ever had. The Peach cobbler was just ok, too sweet for my taste, needed a pinch of salt. Overall though, this place was amazing, the entrees were definitely the star. read more

Yall need to do something about that manager Latrell. He very rudely pulled aside your workers to yell at them and berate them. I don't know if it's because of his sexual orientation that he gets off treating and talking to people like this, but something needs to be done. The other manager always wearing makeup, bending over, flirting. Adena needs to shut this location down or bring new management.

I went here for a birthday celebration it was just two of us and we were stoked to have this "amazing" soul food that reviews say is just incredible. I went to the Brooklyn location at lunch midweek...The interior is really nice and it wasn't busy, everything was clean and all servers were very pleasant. The booths are nice and it has very large clean single bathrooms. Food to table was fast and you give name then food is delivered to table. The presentation was chef's kiss . (Sadly, the food didn't hold up to the hype) Pros: Clean, spacious, very nice interior, friendly workers, clean bathrooms, no attitudes in customer service, booths that accommodate anyone's waist line, fountain soda machine with really good drinks. *Fried Chicken... cartwheels on text...wow!!! This was superb. Delicious. *Cabbage really great. Cons: Lemonade tasted very artificial and with too much what tasted like stevia or sweet and low. (Blah, no thanks) Greens- Bland, great texture and cooking of it being just right. It tasted like it was only made with chicken stock and and no kick. Hot sauce and condiments would of really helped. Turkey Wings: Hmm, that wasn't desirable and that was a couple of bites..it was okay. Mac n cheese- This was okay and sadly totally bland. It needed more cheese, sea salt..or a pinch of salt as well as being cooked longer to allow all the cheese to melt. I enjoyed the cheese in it just it was half way decent. Yams- Oh Boi! Why...Why...why..smh.. was it SUPER bland. There was definitely cinnamon and more of an artificial sweetener taste which left an after taste and by this time of eating/sharing foods I was uber bummed. All in all, I felt like if I had gone to my kid's house to celebrate her having her own Independence either her or roommate and she decided to make the Thanksgiving meal, or super for family that I would be blown away. Lol...as it was an ambitious attempt... This place has a lot of potential you can definitely taste the love in recipes just as a cook myself, it was a really weak attempt at soul food. Hands down fried chicken phenomenal!! Soul food has layers of taste especially when it's fresh ingredients...sky's the limit, just greens don't need to be bland, Mac n cheese does need just the right amount of salt, this wasn't oily or too extra...just I felt like someone started, then got distracted and left food without seasoning..The corn bread, was ok. I'd rather not go to a restaurant and try to think of ingredients to boost it. That's lazy cooking. If the owners read reviews, I hope you know you have a really great spot...there's so much potential....just its meh..okay...had this been a white chef...I would of been impressed...as it was best they could do within the culture...but, that is not the case here. Yams can have honey, cloves, cinnamon, brown sugar...there are a lot of herbs and spices and or healthier eating that can be incorporated. Just don't enhance the fried chicken. The corn bread needed just a little bit more umph....that was all the dishes. Just a little bit more ...this was a C- in food... I'd return for the fried chicken if I was in neighborhood again but probably wouldn't return as the food had hardly no seasoning.. read more

I have to start by asking--how are you located in a Black and Caribbean neighborhood, yet missing the mark on two of the most essential dishes: mac & cheese and oxtail? The mac & cheese had zero flavor--bland, uninspired, and honestly left me wondering, "Who made this?" As for the oxtail... it was giving high blood pressure in a bowl. The salt level was through the roof, and yet, somehow, it still lacked that authentic Caribbean depth of flavor. Instead of rich and savory, it was just overly saucy and confused. Like, where do they do that? read more

Honestly I thought the food was phenomenal. I decided to come here because I was in the mood for some soul, comfort food. And I was excited to have some cornbread and fried chicken after my day. I have to admit, I did come hungry so I practically inhaled everything. The cornbread was SO MOIST and the fried chicken met my standards! Best Mac and cheese I've had. The establishment is so clean and homey. The staff are hard working and one of the runners went above and beyond to make sure I was doing okay and threw away my empty tray when I was done.

Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 3/5 My party of 6 walked in on a Saturday evening, and we had to stand in line for over an hour to order at the counter. There is plenty of seating inside. It did seem like an unusual situation though, but once I reached the counter to order, they told me that they did not have any fried chicken nor fish, which was disappointing. I then waited for around 15 minutes to get my food. I ordered the baked chicken with baked mac and cheese and yams. The meal came with cornbread as well. The flavors of the chicken were really well rounded. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the meat was fall off the bone. However, for some of the bigger pieces, the middle parts were quite dry. The mac and cheese was as expected and so were the yams. The best part of the meal was the cornbread. They do live up to their name; the cornbread was moist and had a golden top, and it was sweetened like with honey. It was hands down the best cornbread I have ever had. Overall, great food and generous portions for a fair price, but my personal experience could have been better. read more

This was some of the best fried fish I've had, if we're talking about just the fish itself. The breading is solid - going with a hot level of spice meant there was a good amount of seasoning on top, but I wouldn't classify it as spicy. It was crunchy at points, but missing the flakiness and true crunch I'd associated with top-tier fried fish. However, where it makes up for this is how good the inside of the fish is. This was spectacular - crazy moist, super tender, and just tasted fantastic. The complete opposite of that rubbery texture you get when you overfry the fish. The sauce that came with the fish was a little bland, however As for the sides, I thought the mac and cheese was really good - cheesy, slightly crispy on top, and cooked very well. I also liked the grits - though a bit buttery. The fries were a miss though. For the price, I think around 25 for the meal and a side is a solid deal. The sides especially come with pretty large portion size that will leave you very full. Overall, this is very good Southern food that I certainly enjoyed. 8.5/10

I liked the chicken but I personally wouldn't pay for it again. The best tasting part of the meal was the cornbread but you barely get any of it. I liked the mac and cheese as the best value of the entire order. To caveat this, we did order out, so I'd like to return and update my review soon with a dine-in test. The takeout takes quite a long while and it's pretty cramped inside the actual restaurant especially to wait, so I'd highly recommend ordering ahead of time online.

Hoping the business can expand because they definitely can do great things with a bigger space.

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.
