Great food! They know what they're doing. Excellent cocktails! This place is getting busier, people are catching on. It's spacious with different places to sit. Great bar. Love it. I would say the best restaurant in the area. Also very friendly. Jerk chicken tacos for taco Tuesday were excellent! They have an amazing shrimp app and I always see people eating the mussels, I'll have to try those next time. So good! read more

Great food Great Atmosphere Great Ambiance. Ernesto is the best waiter. Julianna makes a mean cocktail. Come down to this cozy place for brunch, happy hour or dinner. You won't be disappointed. read more

Transport me to the islands and douse me in Jerk Sauce. Cross Road is a unique standout Caribbean cuisine restaurant that aims to please. The cocktails make you feel like you're on vacation - love their version of the Negroni - the Island Negroni - refreshing but still Negroni- esque. The food is delicious. Starting with Shrimp appetizer which was lightly breaded and delicious spiced. I followed with the cod special which lit up my taste buds. Head over before the word gets out. read more

I LOVE CROSSROAD. My boyfriend and I came here for the first time for our anniversary back in March 2024 and have been back five or six times since then with friends and ordered in a whole bunch of other times. The food is so, so good and the drinks are substantial and yummy. My go to orders are the cod, the island shrimp ( bury me with an order of Cross Road's Island shrimp just in case I wake up underground, please), and the burger (not, like, a regular burger - it's a cool burger). My boyfriend is a more adventurous eater than I am and has gotten and loved the jerk chicken, churrasco steak, and the short rib. So ... between us that's more or less the menu. Bottom line is you can't go wrong here. I keep waiting for this place to blow up ... it deserves as much hype as Ayat down the road (another great restaurant that's gotten a lot more attention). Don't be deceived if it looks dead when you show up, it's only a matter of time before we'll be forced to make reservations to come here. read more

Yum. I learned about this new Caribbean influenced restaurant from promotional post cards that happened to be sitting around my aunt's house. I walked over, thinking I'd get some take out, but the cocktails looked so alluring that I decided to sit at the bar and eat there. I had a bar tender recommended "Cadi-Rita". (Sweet and creamy as per my request) and the BBQ jerk chicken. Yum and yum. The chicken was cooked to perfection, very smoky, covered in tangy bbq sauce. Even the rice and beans were delicious. I only wish I'd been there with more people so I could have tried more things. The bar tender was warm and friendly and fun to watch. The customers were way younger than me, but also friendly. I highly recommend. read more

Cross Road is neatly located on the intersection of Coney Island and Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn. The ambiance is beautiful and perfect for a first date. The food! The food so good I had to say it twice. You will need to leave space in your tummy before going as the food is plentiful! I was great to see the owner taking the time to meet his clients and making them feel at home. read more

Cross Road is Awe-some! The apps, entrees, dessert, and drinks are ON POINT. There was not a single throw-away on any plate--every morsel was scrumptious! We want to try everything on the menu, but not sure how we can go without getting the empanadas (both the beef and the potato/spinach/cheese are divine), the Island Shrimp, BBQ Jerk Chicken, Cod de Diablo, and the Paradise Peach dessert! My husband is picky about his martinis, and he said his drink was fantastic too. All that said, we can't wait to try the beef dishes and salmon on the menu--this is feeling like a weekly spot for us. So glad Cross Road is in the neighborhood! And a major shoutout to Dulce who is the absolute best--thank you for the impeccable service! read more

i only have this restaurant 2 stars for their appetizer. That was the only thing that was truly enjoyable. The entree I had was the steak. It was overly done and when I told the manager when he came around asking how our food was he simply responded "ok". Dessert the chocolate cake was disgusting could've gotten something better at the deli. read more

This spot is just what I had been looking for as far as ambience. It's nice, open, warm, fancy with table cloths, and clean. The food is beautifully plated, however, lacking in seasoning when it comes to the Cod De Ablo, lamb shank, and jerk pork. Music is mostly Trini, so I expected a punch of flavor in the food. But, seasoning was missing herbs, garlic, allspice, cilantro which were staples in these dishes. Salt as well, but we should all eat less salt. Appetizers for the hit for me. I will return in the future. But I need a dose of Indian food my next night out first to get my flavor fix. When Cross Road turns their flavor up up, I'll turn up my visits. read more

Went and had dinner Friday night. The service was great and the food was truly delicious. I ordered the grilled salmon and had the mussels for an appetizer. The salmon was grilled perfectly and the mashed potatoes were prepared well. The bread that came with the mussels was outstanding. Unfortunately, I was unable to try dessert.....next time though! I will definitely be coming back and I don't even live close in the area. read more

Great food, nice people, excellent cocktails. Please check out this place - it's worth it.

I was visiting a friend in BK when we stumbled upon this place, and I'm happy we did, first off I need to applaud the chef for the quality of the food they served us, we tried the short ribs and coconut curry mussels and it was absolutely amazing, I was in a bit of denial because I was at a restaurant I've never heard of before and they did not disappoint, I would recommend it's a must try item on the menu, we also ended up having a few cocktails which also was paired very well with the food we had,I asked the server what they recommended to be paired with our dishes and they did a fantastic job, overall the bar and kitchen was outstanding. The ambiance of the restaurant wasn't too loud or overwhelming as much places are these days hopefully that doesn't change. read more

The food is well done, great presentation, right size portions and an awesome twist of Caribbean flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed the island shrimp and and Cod de Diablo. The cocktails are excellent...#negroni. Service is everything, it was on point. And the ambiance was beautiful,. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Dave, great guy, open and down to earth. I highly recommend this restaurant. I plan on making it my Friday night vibe. Can't wait to try brunch. read more

Don't overlook this restaurant if you're looking for excellent food in the Ditmas Park/Cortelyou Rd. neighborhood. It's elegant, clean and comfortable, with soft lighting and a casual-chic vibe. We enjoyed the jerk chicken and the salmon, both perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Very nice back patio too. The staff is friendly, attentive and kind. read more

Everything from the service, food and drinks was *chefs kiss*.

Shoutout to Chef Diablo! The drink named after him was literally AMAZING. I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Went here last night with a friend, the food was delicious and the service was great, definitely recommend.

People, I hope you are planning a trip to Cross Roads! This Caribbean bistro is a new star in the Ditmas Park post Covid restaurant scene , which is need of some rejuvenation. I remember being plunked down at the Farm's bar in the twenty tens waiting an hour for a table. That was a very innovative kitchen (perhaps a bit too frou-frou at times), but I promise you Cross Roads combines the art of vertical plating, along with a sumptuous down home palate, without enough of a wait time, but I predict that will change. I will admit we have only been there once, but I look forward to our next meal. I predict it will be hard not to order the jerk chicken again; smothered in fresh peppers, then sumptuously citrus plantains on a bed of rice and beans richness. The smoke in this dish is astoundingly, deliciously resonant (you decide if it's backyard southlands or West Indian Parade hot table). I usually prefer not to ply service about BBQ Jerk Chickentrade secrets, but I could not resist and enquired if there was a smoker. The sound track is up tempo Carib pop playing a bit on the loud side, so the response about the smoker was politely camouflaged . read more

As much as I mourn the loss of Plant Love House, I really like this place. The food is fantastic, the drinks are good, and the staff are nice. A bit on the pricey side so I can't exactly go there whenever I want, but if you can afford it you should check it out. read more

Got out of the Slope and tried Cross Road about one week ago. Back last night. Praise for the chef, achieving a subtle sophistication for Caribbean flavors. I've thoroughly enjoyed the jerk chicken and cod entrees, both perfectly prepared and delicious. My wife "had to have" the short rib entree once again, along with a lovely lychee martini. Beer on tap is ice cold. Cross Road is NOT highly spiced cuisine. Praise for the lovely decor, ambiance, staff. Only negative critique is that the the fruit in the peach cobbler was cut small and lacked presence, overwhelmed by the pastry. Thinking lamb shank next time. read more

Great experience. The food and drinks were amazing high quality cuisine and drinks. The staff was friendly and fast service very clean atmosphere. Family friendly. Great for gatherings and birthdays. Will visit again definitely. Highly recommend. read more

I went to to this location to celebrate my birthday after previously visiting before . I liked the lighting and ambiance and so I decided to give it a shot for my birthday . 2 of my friends were already seated at the bar by the time I got there so I decided to sit at the bar as well . I had mentioned to about 3 more people to come by and they eventually showed up at different times 1 group of 2 and the last person by themselves . We all sat at the bar and arrived at different times . the bartender who I also believe is the shift manager/ supervisor provided a bill which included the food and drinks for all of the people sitting at the bar that I knew and also included a large party fee . When the bill was reviewed and requested to be split the bartender advised she can only split it two ways , however the large party fee remained . Keep in mind if you've ever been to a bar even if you start to talk to the people next to you the bartender would normally never assume you are together and give you and the random people sitting next to you 1 bill. I personally then had to request the large party fee be removed as no one was advised of this before hand and it is not posted anywhere in addition to the fact that we were all sitting at the bar . Long story short ladies and gentlemen if you go to this establishment and sit at the bar make sure you are sitting with less than 6 people because if you don't and it seems like you are sitting and the bar and remotely know anyone else you will all be given one bill and charged a large party fee without being told about it read more
