I have been eyeing this restaurant for months and finally got the chance to check it out with a friend. They serve brunch all day till 6:30 pm on Sundays which I love! The vibes of the space are immaculate as soon as you enter this establishment. The space is sunny, bright, cozy and intimate with a few tables. Staff is super friendly and goes above and beyond. Everybody from the hostess, waitstaff and chef are so welcoming. We started off our meal with the bread basket, which came with biscuits and cornbread. The cornbread was super fluffy, not very dense and appropriately moist. The biscuits were tiny, flaky, and buttery. Perfection. For entrees I opted for the banana, stuffed French toast and Jamaican jerk chicken. The French toast was to die for I loved the filling. The jerk chicken was hot and fresh although I do wish it was a little bit more spicy, but the flavor was still on point. My friend ordered the oxtail which we shared. It was fatty and delicious and stewed to perfection. The mac & cheese was TO DIE FOR - I loved the crispy cheese top and edges, and even the bottom of the ramekin was crispy. A textural, creamy and dreamy delight! If you are looking for a solid brunch place in the neighborhood with exceptional food, and even better service look no further. 10/10 highly recommended. read more

Visited for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Wasn't to busy, and was able to be seated upon arrival (they don't take rsvps). Smaller place with a cute flamingo painted on the wall. The brunch menu has options for everyone and they all sounded delicious so it was hard to pick-- but I went with the colossal shrimp and grits. For starts we had the biscuit and cornbread basket (which was not pictured because it was so good we ate it down so fast!) My friend had the berry baby French toast. Both meals were delicious and flavorful. However my grits were a little cold and I wish they would have melted the cheese on top. Rum punch (not pictured) was delicious and not too sweet. The waitress was nice and attentive. She anticipated our needs so we didn't have to ask for anything! Don't you just love when that happens? I would visit again to try other things on the menu! read more

OMG. Love, love, love!! Wasn't quite busy at opening hours on the weekend but started getting packed around 11AM~12PM. There only seemed to be one waitstaff, so service may be a tad slow. Berry French Toast - 5/5: So many pieces of DELICIOUS french toast drenched in syrup and topped with vanilla anglaise, berries and berry compote. Beautiful presentation. Fried Chicken - 5/5: Fried to perfection, amazing taste and perfectly juicy. Mac & Cheese - 5/5: Delicious mac and cheese, burnt top was nice. Collard Greens - 5/5: Has a tad bit of spice and I love that! Only thing is that the serving size is quite small for the price I paid, but delicious. Overall, solid restaurant for food. 10/10 recommend. read more

Strong drinks Nice bartender Tiny space I decided to try a drink before meeting a friend for dinner. The place was small, and could use a little work. However, I was quickly seated. I tried a strawberry passion fruit margarita (a classic margarita with strawberry passion fruit syrup). Be careful because the drink was so strong, I could feel it after one. I was offered another and should not have agreed. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the next location. read more

Flamingo baby is a great Caribbean restaurant in Brooklyn. They have all day breakfast and dinner with twists on southern brunch entrees and Caribbean delicacies.

The food at Flamingo Baby was delicious especially the Baked Mac and Cheese! I'm dreaming about it now ‍ But here are some things to note: The food takes longgggg to come. Over and hr long and it wasn't busy when we went at all. That's why they got the 3 stars. It was maybe 3 other tables to take care of. And no apologies made The drink menu they gave us had no alcohol on it, but I decided to ask anyway. They did have Cocktails that the Waitress verbally listed. We had the Rum Punch which was just right The food is definitely worth it! I would go here again.  Do not go there already Hangry read more

It was a friend's birthday. We arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday and were told the wait would be an hour for 2. We decided to wait. We both were craving fried chicken and the place had great reviews. There were at least 10 other people waiting outside to be seated. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They don't fully utilize the outdoor space. As there were 2 empty four tops outside, that remained empty our entire time waiting as well as while we were dining and leaving. We waited every bit of that hour. The place is small. There were approximately 18-20 seats sprawled over 8 tables. A makeshift bar jammed in the back. My friend and I were sat in a corner. I liked that we both had booth seats and I can see the entire restaurant. Service was okay. The hostess was nice enough. Our server was fine. She seemed tired. Given how small the place was and there were 2 servers and a busboy/bartender. Seemed sufficiently staffed. The birthday girl got the chicken & waffles ($26). I got the fried chicken plate ($28). We also ordered a side of Mac & cheese ($16) and fish fritters ($14) for an appetizer. We did unlimited mimosas. Which is $32 per person for 1 hour. They have 2 flavors regular and tropical. They use Tropicana OJ for the regular. The tropical tasted like guava. Given the size of the operation. They gave us 1 carafe of each flavor. When there was about 1/3 left in each carafe they refilled it. That was our unlimited mimosa. It sufficed. My first gripe with this place was being told NO when I asked for an accommodation. The fried chicken plate came with a leg, thigh and half breast. I absolutely abhor thighs. Im a white meat kinda girl. I'll do a leg though. I asked could I get the whole breast and the leg. I was told no. The kitchen won't do it. I asked what pieces came with the chicken and waffles. I was told a breast and leg or leg and thigh. I asked if I paid an up charge could it happen. NO she makes it how she makes it and won't accommodate substitutions. One can assume the chef must be the owner. Also the only person in the kitchen as I was told. Second gripe was my chicken plate comes with choice of side and a side salad. If you want Mac & cheese it's $5 up charge. Plantains is listed as a side. In fact if I wanted to order a side of plantains they would happily charge me $7 for it. However when I asked for plantains the server told me that's not a side. You can pick yams, potato salad, collard greens etc. No where was this listed on the menu. They made sure to put everything else including calling customers weird if they didn't want waffles with there chicken & waffles. Literally the word weird and Haha is on the menu. I got the yams. The codfish fritters came out in good timing. Considering the place was packed and had only one cook. They were 6 medium/small free form pieces. They were absolutely delicious and the best thing we ate. My only complaint is the batter to codfish ratio was off. I tasted more breading than fish. Almost like it was flavored with codfish. The dipping sauce was nice. Even though I was slightly annoyed about the ordering process. The fritters gave me high hopes about the food to come. Unfortunately no. They advertise as southern/Caribbean cuisine. I'm sorry but there was nothing southern about that fried chicken or them yams. I was happy my friend got a breast and leg. She loves thighs. So we swapped. First the chicken was dark. Since it wasn't over fried. That means the oil was old. Some parts had great texture, other parts were soggy. It was on the bland side. No distinctive taste besides chicken. Very fatty even the breast. Also very huge pieces. Definitely not steroid and antibiotic free. A little pink towards the bone as well. The yams were disgusting. I took one bite and that was it. Literally tasted like yam, sugar and syrup. No cinnamon, nutmeg nothing. There was a mini biscuit on the plate. Seemed homemade due to the layers but hard like the dough was overworked. The birthday girl didn't like the waffles. They weren't fluffy and were overcooked. The Mac & cheese was okay. Advertised as 4 cheeses. The only cheese I tasted was cheddar. The birthday girl who's had my cooking plenty of times said "your Mac & cheese is way better". I concur. They automatically add 20% gratuity to all parties no matter the size. Which the food and service definitely didn't warrant. Also they do nothing special for birthdays. Not even a happy birthday. Unacceptable in my opinion. I honestly wouldn't be dine again. Too much competition. Especially at their prices. I have a feeling the carribbean food is better than the southern food. Bill was $190 and change including gratuity. I wasn't hungry when I left but I also wasn't satisfied. I've had better fried chicken a Popeyes. For brunch peaches fried chicken is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. read more

We probably raved about this restaurant to our friends for weeks straight after grabbing dinner here. Everything was a hit here, nothing was a miss. Highly recommend the oxtail stew, cornbread skillet (whipped honey butter, enough said), and the chicken roti. Be warned that the roti is not as thin/flaky as one would expect from a Malaysian roti- this one is much more dense, but we LOVED it nonetheless and the boneless chicken "curry" atop the roti was *chefs kiss*. And for beverage, if you're a ginger fan, you gotta get the pine + ginger! We had an excellent meal and we cannot wait to come back! And thank you to the lovely server for accommodating us and our pup in the outdoor dining spot! We really appreciate that we were able to enjoy your food on a day we had our pup with us! read more

Good food. The biscuits are of note. Skip the minis and just get the regular sized ones. It's worth it and a much better value (personally). We were served by Demmoy. They were kind and kept our water glasses and my friends' mimosas as well. Just be prepared for a wait. (Sunday afternoon) It was maybe 90min even though we were quoted much less. We did not realize how small the place was. Seats maybe 20-22 max. I do wish them success and plan to help them succeed... Because I'll be back (just next time, off peak ). read more

Flamingobaby Kitchen - Fried catfish and cheese grits - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Visiting from California, I found this place on Yelp. The service was excellent from the time we arrived until we left. We arrived around 12pm on a Sunday, and the wait was about 30 minutes, so add your name to the list and take a walk. The place is cozy and packed. Good music and good vibes. The hostess gave us a call when it was time to be seated. The entire wait staff was super friendly and so welcoming. The pancakes are sooo good! Chicken and waffles are amazing and the Shrimp and grits were so tasty and fresh. Now the best part - the oxtail stew, rice and peas and rum punch were better than any place in Jamaica. Hands down - some of the best food that I've ever had in my life. I would fly from California just to have this food and the great vibes that this restaurant offers. read more

This spot is good. Just good. You won't be mad that you went. I had breakfast and it was fine. I would like to go back for dinner since I've heard great things. It's really small in there, so I'm thinking that's what causes the long wait time. read more

Note: This is a 2.5 star review. 2 for the service, 3 for the food. One of the influencers I check out on Instagram made a post recently about this place and the food looked absolutely amazing! I sent it to one of my besties and we decided to go here for dinner. When we arrived there was a wait of about 10 minutes for a table outside, which had been empty for quite some time along with most of the outdoor tables. We went through a few different servers, maybe they were working as a team. It took about 20 minutes to get waters (we ordered at this time), another 15 for my friend's run punch, and we thought the appetizer was about to arrive. Nope. It did not. The wait continued. Mind you there are less than 20 half occupied tables with 4 servers. But wait, it gets interesting... my plate came out 35-45 min after my friend's food. Seems like a normal visit, right? No. It was not. We knew it would be a wait, it was literally written at the bottom of the menu. But, 45 min for the bread appetizer, 1hour 15 min for one diner's entree and two hours from the time I arrived until I got my plate, without a single apology? Might add 2 of the servers that worked with us we're playing on their phones and an ipad during this wait time for food. Was there even an apology for them forgetting to put in my order? No. they didn't even acknowledge that they forgot. They just kept saying it's coming. At one point, one server even asked me what were my sides again? What? When I finally got the order, it came with 2 thighs! The piece i did not want (my friend was taking the thigh). I went inside and let the server know and the she came for me with all the spiciness of a scotch bonnet pepper? No ma'am, Pam! She dialed it back after the proof went back to the kitchen. 15 min later my half breast arrived and we waited another 20 minutes after requesting the bill 4 times! All of this, and the food was mediocre??? I was irritated, yet I was still polite and composed. The collards were decent, the chicken was well seasoned, but the mac & cheese was giving lunch lady with a baked cheese on top. Just no. The biscuit was cute and tasty. Cornbread tasted like sweetened Jiffy, jerk chick was well seasoned, while the rice and peas were dried out. My meal total: $31 (plus I added $9 tax and tip. Yes, I still tipped, I've been a server). Mind you I ordered water. (One of the servers gave us lemonade at the hour, forty-five wait mark). In closing, all I can say is this.... There is way too many delicious Western Indian restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive for the experience that I had in this establishment. Don't believe everything you see on Instagram. read more

YALL!!! I didn't know...I'm so happy I know now!!! Came here one rainy Sunday to meet a friend from out of town. I plucked this place out of my bookmarks. I was a little tiffed that I couldn't make a reserv ( it's the Type A in me...LOL), but I said I'll get over it. We got there, and there was about a 10 min wait for two. The place had outside seating under a patio, but it was raining a bit and chilly out...no bueno. Once we got inside, I realized it was that it was pretty tight place and could see it being a longer wait for a party bigger than two. However, the friendly staff make it work. My friend and I looked at people's food and were at a lost of what to get b/c it all looked good. So we got a bit of everything...which the fat ass in me loved! - Blueberry Pancakes - Fried Chicken - Shrimp and Grits - Eggs w/ cheese, Grits and beef sausage - Spiked sorrel - Pineapple Ginger lemonade YALL....RUN to this spot!!! It was all just so damn tasty. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too hungry, lol. I left with half my food cause my stomach didn't want to cooperate and eat everything there. I can't wait to go back! read more

Visiting NY for the weekend and so happy we found this place (TikTok). The place is not to big so you might have to wait a minute but the inside is nice and cozy and the service is great with a fire vibe. Music was on point and they make it feel like home. The food was amazing. Those wings are perfectly sauced without being soggy and they still have a nice crisp! The oxtail grits were fire. The oxtails were tender and the grits are corse side but that's what I prefer. French toast probably my favorite. Was so sweet and light but filling! Finally the cornbread and biscuits?! A MUST ORDER! Rounding it out with the drinks. Spiked Sorrel was really good. I'll definitely be back read more

Highly recommend! We went here on a Saturday just before 1 pm for brunch, and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. It was super cute in there, and about half of the seating is outside which was very pleasant on a warm day. I'd read in the reviews that service to get food was a bit slow, which it was, but that was really the only negative. I got the jerk chicken and waffles, and my friend got the banana stuffed French toast. Huge portions! We loved both! read more

Really interesting concept of Jamacian x Southern food! We ordered French toast and Jerk Chicken and Waffles. The French toast was soft and fluffy. The maple syrup was serve warmed which added a nice touch. The waffle was okay but the Jerk Chicken needed more flavor and spice. The chicken was really good, but it was missing the depth of flavor that comes with a traditional Jerk. Would definitely go back to try other fusion items on the menu! The restaurant is pretty small so it has an intimate vibe. Since the space is tiny, be prepared to wait or come closer to opening. Our food was worth the wait! read more

If I lived even remotely anywhere close to here, I would make this a regular spot. However, was only visiting from out of town and looking for a place to eat. Oxtail on the menu was the lure. Food - Order the Oxtail Stew and Fried Chicken w/ Banana Stuffed French Toast. Both were absolutely amazing - finding a good oxtail stew is incredibly hard and Flamingobaby knocked it right out of the park. The fried chicken and french toast was also incredible - I've never had such a delicious stuffed french toast. Service - Service was fine, even though the food was slow to arrive. Thankfully, being on vacation, I was not in a rush to get anywhere. Ambiance - The small space is colorful and tastefully decorated to live up to it's name. I loved the servers vibes - it felt like the kind of place that if you entered depressed, you would leave uplifted because they just made you feel so good and welcomed. Overall - I would definitely stop by again whenever in town and have been dreaming of this meal ever since ! read more

Stumbled upon this Gem on a beautiful Saturday. I was in the neighborhood and wanted to take mom out for Brunch. I am so happy to have found this place. Upon entering the service was great. Super friendly and attentive. They had just opened a few months ago and I think they haven't created much buzz yet. Hoping that changes for them. The food was good. We both ordered the eggs, sausage, potatoes, and toast. A pretty standard breakfast. I hope to come back to experience more. I also got a mimosa and was satisfied with it. The best part for me was the service. I didn't have anything I tasted that was amazing but hoping to explore the menu a little more in the future. Show this new restaurant some love. read more

Tried this little gem, as it was on my let's try list for brunch. I have the chicken and waffles with rum punch, and sister in law had the shrimp and grits. Chicken was made well and crispy. Rum punch hit the spot. Sister in law enjoyed her meal as well. You should get there before noon on Saturday to get a seat, or you will be waiting a while. lt is worth it as all food is fresh and cooked to order. Took home a plate of the oxtail, and I will say yes yes yes. I will be back again. read more

This place is delicious! I'm from Houston and we have a high standard for the way for tastes and I have been disappointed more times than I'd like to admit since moving to NYC a couple of years ago, but this place gets it right! I had the Southern fried chicken biscuit with a side salad (you, balance). The chicken was tender and juice and moist and had a great flavor. The biscuit was flaky and buttery and delicious just how it should be. Us southerners are very particular about our biscuits. I also ordered the peach lemonade and it was yummy and refreshing and not too sweet. This place is great BUT the wait times def had me hangry for a minute. They were also understaffed which just made everything go so much slower. Some people waited for an hour and left bc there was no telling when they'd be seated. Hopefully they plan to have some type of reservation or at least a real waitlist situation happening at some point because it really is a sore spot for this place. Highly recommend but just make sure you're not starving when you arrive. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! There is a reason it is so highly rated. Not only is it family owned and run, they have some of the best staff I have ever encountered. The place is small but the atmosphere is everything and more! The music is so on par too. Now when it comes to the food, EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was a chef's kiss. I don't know if it's because their food is seriously made with love or they just know how to throw down in the kitchen, or both, but it was scrumptious. Plus they give you good portions - enough to take home. I got the jerk chicken and waffle. Now I'm not usually a fan of jerk sauce but the way this chicken was cooked was mouthwatering. Additionally, my friends had the following dishes : the fried chicken and waffle, the oxtail stew, and the mac & cheese skillet. Again, everything was delicious. This is hands down going forth as one of my top favorite spots in NYC. read more

My new favorite after work brunch spot. Bae picked out this spot after driving by it a few times and seeing a long line. We went randomly one morning after I got off work and managed to get seated pretty quickly. It's a very small spot so I can understand the long lines on busy days. Anywho, I can't remember our servers name because this review is 9 months late however, she was soooo sweet! We were seated right next to the bar and I started off with the mimosa carafe which did not disappoint. My boyfriend got the red sangria which was bomb! Our server said the owner made the sangria and it's a secret recipe. I was so undecided, I wanted to the entire menu lol, I'm a French toast girl so I got the house French toast with a side of bacon and eggs. My boyfriend kept it simple and got eggs and bacon. Loved my food, I was so full afterwards. We definitely plan to go back to try the rest of the menu. My only suggestion would be to check the website before going because they don't have traditional hours of operation. Also, it's located in a residential area so parking is a bit scarce so just a heads up. read more

Listen, the food is BUSSIN' but the wait time is ridiculous. Small boutique restaurant but. really need to work on the wait time for food. Waiting an hour+ for food is crazy. It's a very small spot with 5-7 tables. Get the macaroni ! Cinnamon roll pancakes were great. Fried chicken is tasty as well. Yams are very sweet and greens are average. Food comes out SUPER fresh but if you're hungry and in a rush this is not the spot for you. read more

Amazing food here! I did walk-in and it wasn't an issue getting a table for two on Sunday at 1:35pm. I ordered the chicken and waffles and hot chocolate. I originally wanted black tea with milk and sugar but they didn't have black tea...like how is that possible? They had all these other teas but black tea. My friend wasn't hungry so she ordered a mixed non alcoholic drink and a hot tea. The food was amazing and the hot chocolate cup was big. So was the tea that my friend ordered. The mixed drink came up quite a bit later. The chicken and waffles was one of the best I've ever had. The chicken was soft on the inside, crispy on the outside and well seasoned. The fruit was sweet and the waffles were soft with a touch of butter. It's everything a chicken and waffle should be. I only gave them four stars because they then started to rush me and my friend out by (1) asking to collect our plates (2) then just dropping off the check. Like we got the hint. The restaurant wasn't full either so I wasn't sure what the rush was. read more

Oof, I really want to give this place more stars because the food was really good. But unfortunately, the restaurant does not seem to have an efficient system worked out and the wait for food is outrageous. We came for brunch one weekend and were told that it would be about a 30-minute wait for a table. Even though we saw plenty of empty tables we said sure, and left our number. We came back later to a mostly empty restaurant and our order was not taken until 20 minutes after we were seated... then we waited another 50 minutes for our food. In the time we waited, we watched as other would-be patrons were turned away and told the wait was about 30-minutes even though only 3 tables were occupied. A delivery person also stood at the door waiting for a long time for the food he was to deliver. The waitress was super nice and obviously the kitchen was doing its best so we didn't complain. I do think it would have been good practice for them to offer complimentary bread or something so that hungry diners aren't sitting around for almost an hour without anything to do. As I mentioned, the food was great. We had oxtails and biscuits with gravy. Everything was delicious and the mac and cheese did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll return anytime soon because I don't have confidence that I'll get food before hanger sets in. read more

Came here after church one day with a friend. We were told a 30 minutes wait and we obliged. After around 40 minutes and hunger pangs, we called to find out what's up, and they were able to accommodate us. That was the first eye raiser, why weren't we called? The inside is tiny, like really tiny! We were seated and it took maybe 30 minutes for our food and drink order to be taken which was unacceptable. After we take our food order, the food takes maybe another 30-40 minutes for it to come. At this point, we were there for an hour with nothing on our table but waters. We were so hungry and this just made us even more angry. Finally our food came! It was piping hot and fresh. The salmon was great, perfectly cooked, and the collard greens were delicious. The Mac and cheese however was salty, and was more runny than gooey. It was so salty, I had some of my friends toast to get the taste off my tongue. Her French toast was delicious, not too sweet. However she asked for her eggs well done and it was more of a soft scramble. Lastly, the bill came and they added on 20% gratuity...it was only my friend and I but I guess it's mandatory? The service was so terrible, had it not been added on already, we would've left nothing. The food itself is good but not good enough for me to look past terrible service. Won't be returning and I was rooting so hard to love this place. read more

FlamingoBaby Kitchen has been on my list to visit after reading their amazing Yelp reviews. This small yet quaint Black-owned restaurant by Chef Niki serves up New American with Southern & Caribbean influenced brunch cuisine. Opening in 2021 in Park Slope, FlamingoBaby is among the growing restaurants whose concept is to welcome and delight their guests during the day, closing their doors early. Sounds like work-life balance to me. There is outside seating. But no reservations. We enjoyed the food, cocktails, service, and chill vibes. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. We arrived at a good time, because the restaurant soon filled up and almost every party was celebrating a birthday, which included one of my brothers. There was a wait when we departed. We delighted in: CODFISH FRITTERS Served w/Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce FRIED CATFISH STRIPS Cornmeal Crusted & Served w/House Tartar Sauce ACKEE + SALTFISH Served w/Dumplings, Breadfruit, and Fried Sweet Plantain FRIED CATFISH STRIPS & WAFFLES FRIED SWEET PLANTAIN SPIKED SORREL Sorrel (Hibiscus) + Gin Infused.
