I'm giving Foragers a solid 3 stars. I've passed this food stand plenty of times on my way to Trader Joe's, and always admired that they cook home-styled meals with organic ingredients. I decided to get the entree with 3 sides for $12. I thought it was priced fairly considering the large portions they give you. I ordered the chicken breast with a side of braised greens, sausage stuffing, and brussel sprouts. I enjoyed the braised greens and sausage stuffing a lot. It felt like thanksgiving dinner. My chicken breast was on the dry side and the brussel sprouts could of used more flavor. With all that said, I would like to come back and try some of their menu items. For the most part, the food was good. I'm interested in seeing what the Mac and cheese taste read more

Came here to pick up lunch a couple of times in the Brooklyn Dekalb market hall. Tried the quarter free-range roasted chicken with 3 sides - you get to select your 3 sides. Good portion for $14. A little on the pricey side but filling and good. The side options do change...so one gets to try different sides each time. The sliced veggies, brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes are good. Usually about six side options to choose from. Note: They only take credit card, no cash. read more

Paid about $13-14 for lunch here which consisted of 1 protein and 3 sides. I got chicken, sweet potatoes, kale, and Brussels sprouts. This spot and the choices kind of reminded me of dig inn. But I prefer dig inn over this place any day. The chicken was breast so it was super dry. It comes with lemon vinegar which didn't really help with the dryness. The sweet potatoes were the best part of the meal. Sweet and spiced and cooked well. The veggies I didn't like at all. I wanted Mac and cheese but they didn't have it that day..bummer. There weren't much other options actually. The veggies were really bland. Boiled, hardly any seasoning besides salt. This meal was kind of disappointing. I thought the chicken would be better than that. I also didn't think it was worth the price. I'd rather check out the other options at Dekalb market. read more

Foragers - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pros: -Sweet potatoes and chicken are so tender! -Decent sized portions -Discount during weekday lunch 11-3? Seems like it's $9.45 instead of typical $13.75 Cons: -Chicken is on the bone which is a little annoying -- Chicken and sweet potatoes are a must! The chicken is fall off the bone tender and the herb(?) seasoning is delicious. The sweet potatoes are similarly soft and flavorful. Skip the brussels sprouts and the roasted cauliflower if riced isn't available. read more

The food is not cheap but the portion is enough for me divide into 2 meals. The main I got was Tunisian Chicken, which was flavorful and delicious. However, the sides were just alright. I had the baked tofu with red cabbage and pumpkin which was awful. The baked tofu was very hard that I couldN't chew it. The brussel sprouts was better but lacked flavor. The best thing about the Foragers is that it's organic so the ingredients were of high quality. read more

Ate a casual lunch here consisting of meatballs, sweet potatoes, brussell sprouts and roasted carrots... this place has a similar feel to Dig Inn HOWEVER this eatery doesn't seem to hit the same quality as Dig Inn does... don't get me wrong the food is good but DI is better... This place is located in the DeKalb Market Hall at City Point which is a mammoth food hall consisting of around 40 diff. vendors read more

Foragers - Create Your Own Plate (one protein and three vegetables) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So, I actually really like this place! They definitely could use some improvement but I can see the wheels turning and I know they have the potential to get there some day. I've had a couple of their offerings but most recently I went for the quarter chicken with braised greens, Brussel sprouts, and cauliflower rice as my sides. Overall, I do think the food could benefit from more seasoning (simple things like salt, pepper, garlic) to make the food really stand out. As it is, it is healthy food with a "healthy" taste, but with the right amount of oil and seasonings, the food could be just as healthy and with full flavor! read more

This market stand gets a solid three stars from me. I was tempted to go higher but I felt it didn't quite grab that next rung. I've passed this place many a time, but today was the day I decided to give it a try. The food looked hearty and the real tipping point was that everything was local and organic and today, after the gym, I was feeling a healthy move after a weekend of less-than-healthy eating and drinking decisions. I had the ricotta meatballs as the protein in one of their $13.49 combo plates, with sides of mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and a rice-cauliflower salad. All were good, but the mashed potatoes were lacking the enthusiasm and flavor that piqued my interest in them initially. Nevertheless, the portion was reasonably sized (more so than it seemed to be if you took the combo with a piece of chicken), filling, and relatively healthy. I would return, but this is the type of place you go when you need a certain type of meal - reliable, higher end ingredients, filling -, but not when you're seeking something new, unique or exciting. read more

I found their mac and cheese to be a little bland and underwhelming. Their cauliflower rice also doesn't really convey any of the curry spices that gives it its color. I had a great time eating their spicy braised greens! The curry for their curried tofu is a little watery and under-savory, is nothing wow but enjoyable enough. Very kind, quick service here though. read more

Reviewing the butcher. The pork belly is amazing and you should definitely buy it. The sausages are hit or miss. The skirt steak was pretty good. They source everything from Hudson Valley, which is nice. However, like everything else at DeKalb Market Hall, you're paying a premium. If it's convenient, go ahead and buy from them. But I'd prefer going to a place like Paisano's or Esposito's. read more

TL;DR - Wholesome, hearty and big portions. You're pretty much spoilt for choice in this food hall, but Foragers offers something a bit more traditional than some of the other outlets... you're basically getting a roast dinner here - and it's totally worth it! We arrived pretty late in the day, so not all of the items on the menu were available. We had a quarter chicken each, and a selection of sides... even though they weren't our first choices, everything we had was tasty and delicious. Foragers also has the advantage of having some dedicated seating which saves you the hassle of wandering around trying to find a seat with your huge tray of food! read more

Visited the DeKalb Market Hall with two friends. We had a look around and most of the vendors appeared overpriced. I eventually decided to try Foragers Rotisserie. It seemed the staff had not been trained prior to service. They were learning on the job. The staff member serving did not know how much a quarter chicken is and initially cut a tiny piece until a colleague said to cut a half and half again. Having not trained prior to entering service it was not a clean cut The chicken tasted oily like it had been partially fried to speed up cooking and later I was left with indigestion. This disappointed me and particularly given the price. I'd have also liked to see something more about the type of chicken they use, free range organic or battery produced I suspect. read more

Food- The broccoli is extremely undercooked and in need of some sort of flavor- butter, oil, salt, anything. This is not comfort food. The root vegetables were cooked perfectly and quite good. The Mac and cheese was tasty but dry. And last but not least the butcher special of the night was braised pork, and it was quite lovely but could have used more sauce. Service- The young woman who was serving me was coughing the whole time she served me. Go home you're sick! read more

This place was packed the last time I walked by on the way to Trader Joe's. Came tonight at around 9pm so most of the food items were already gone so that I understand. However, the broccoli was slightly hard and the roasted chicken/herb rice was way too dry. The only decent thing were the rosemary potatoes. For $13 the portion was acceptable and could be split into 2 servings for me. Overall, I think the quality of the food could have been better but granted I did catch them 1 hour before closing. read more

For a grab and go place, this vendor is really slow - it's a new place, so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but customer service is a problem. I got the chicken salad. The salad was tasty but was quite pricey for a simple salad ($13). read more

Found this little spot while looking for a healthy dinner option. We were able to try free samples before ordering our food which was nice. I tried the cauliflower rice which I wasn't a fan of, but I did like the basmati rice. I also got the salad, the Mac and cheese and chicken. The food was okay. It was definitely filling. You can get a protein and three sides for about $13 which is not too bad. The food was cooked well. I really liked the Mac and cheese. Would probably return to this location. read more

$13 for 4 sides (tofu is considered a side now). I got the tofu curry, which I would not get again, I felt the tofu was not marinated in the curry for very long so it did not take the flavor of the curry. The mac and cheese was very creamy and delicious. Brussel sprouts were on point and they were topped with what I believed were sesame seeds. The last thing I got were the braised collard greens which were pretty standard. read more

Meh. I've gotten food here a few times, and used to think it was alright but this latest time was pretty underwhelming. Mashed potatoes were soupy. Roasted cauliflower was bland and mushy. Arugula salad was drenched in dressing. And only employee there looked over it. read more

This review is solely about Foragers at Dekalb Market Hall. Overpriced, bland and not sure why they are in part of this food hall. Food Halls are supposed to be curated, specialty food items... not deli hot plates off a buffet. read more

Great, healthy, tasty food options! They have a cool, $12, meal option (1 protein + 3 sides) that's really convenient. I had the roasted chicken, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and Korean zesty cucumber salad. Everything was excellent except the cucumber salad which had too much of a sesame flavor for my personal tastes (it was super fresh though!). They had another daily protein (Italian sausage soup) and multiple sides that looked interesting and good (creamer pot totes, roasted veggies, salad, quinoa, etc.). Customer service was great and swift. Would definitely recommend. read more

I went here on the evening of January 24,2018, I was attracted to the place because of the food being organic. I got the chicken with three sides- salad, kale, and Brussels sprouts. The salad was delicious with the lemon side dressing they gave me. The Brussels sprouts were good as well especially the crunchier ones. The kale had a little kick to it maybe cayenne pepper? The chicken was dry which the server warned me about, but the seasoning on it was good. The portions are huge- I had plenty to eat and take home with me! I did re heat everything (in an oven!!) when I got home and added some extra fat (butter and bacon grease) to the chicken and it was much better - not dry. My friend got the meatballs that supposedly have ricotta in it but she was hard pressed to find any cheese. She had carrots,sweet potato and something else that she was happy with. She also had more than enough to take home. I would go here again but this time during the lunch rush (yep I'm insane!) just to try to chicken when it's hot and fresh. read more

Visiting NYC for the second time I stayed in Brooklyn and came across City Point. Found food court and decided on Foragers. Had the quarter chicken with Brussel sprouts, greens and carrots. I've had greens before but these were different. .Seemed to be seasoned with lemon but whatever it was I really liked them. The carrots were roasted and had some spices which I couldn't tell what they were but again were different. I really enjoyed the meal and if anyone could tell me what the seasoings were on the greens and carrots I'd really like to know. read more

Foragers at DeKalb Market is ok. The format is that there are a couple of proteins (meat) available, and you choose three vegetable sides to go with the protein of your choice, for $13. If you just want a couple of sides they'll give it to you in a container for $5. (I don't know what it would cost to order just the protein.) I had cauliflower rice and collard greens, nothing special, but good enough. My companion had roast chicken which he thought was great, plus three sides, and he was totally happy with the generous amount of food he got, and the quality too. Next time I want to eat something at DeKalb Market, I'll try a different food vendor. There are too many choices to stick with the same thing every time. However, if I want my vegetables, Foragers at that location would do the trick. read more

Being in a customer related profession, I understand that even the best of us don't have a good day everyday, so in that regard, I'll give the server and her not so nice attitude a pass. The kicker came when I asked her for a larger bag because I was taking away my food and she had the gall to tell me "those bags are reserved for delivery only"! Excuse me, what? I just spent a total of $13.49 +tax for above average food. If I want a bag I'm damn sure going to get one. read more

Not bad. Not great. I ordered the chicken with three sides. The best thing was the brussel sprouts. Sweet potatoes, apple w/greens salad, and chicken were all ok but seemed to all be missing something. The food is well prepared but flavor wise there is something that just seems to be lacking a bit. Don't get me wrong like I said it was well prepared and it's healthy but not something I'll be running to get again. read more

We really liked this place. They gave a large portion of food. I was able to eat half at lunch and keep the other half for dinner. I had the meatballs, mac-n-cheese, and brushed sprouts. All were really good. They don't use a lot of seasoning and everything is pretty healthy. read more

So happy to have a great butcher in the area. They just opened recently so they will have more options coming soon but so far everything and everyone has been great. The butchers really took time in explaining and answering my questions. He even gave me some advice when I told him I wanted to make liver pate. I will continue to shop here and I appreciate having such a great place to get my brisket, chicken and lard! read more

Chicken is dry, the sides are bland and all of it is overpriced. The guy serving us assured us that sides were included in the advertised price, but they're actually a lot extra--very misleading. read more

This review is specifically for the young man working today at around 12:15pm - he was an absolute delight! He was friendly and attentive and never stopped working. He even checked on me to see how I was enjoying the food. HE IS A KEEPER! read more

disgusting....the food was very disrespectful to human being because its nasty. 13 dollars for the food is a big rip off. i rather go to whole foods and pay 20 for better food or any frozen food. the cashier however was extremely friendly and nice. would go again just to talk to the cashier but not eat. read more

A small lentil soup that I took back to the office to eat turned out to taste a lot like it had been burned. 'How bad could this be for me?' I wondered. 2 hours later at home I understood how bad it could be as it all exited rapidly. read more

This butcher is amazing. The prices are very fair and the staff are excellent. Every time I've visited the butcher has been very friendly and even offered up a few recipe suggestions. Definitely will keep coming back. read more

The chicken is too salty, chef is heavy handed with the salt! Left there with a headache because of the sodium

oh my god my heart feels filled with love.. amazing, healthy and fresh food!!!!! this is going to be my new spot

healthier option on the floor and good quality of meat and veggies; good for weekday lunch

Pricing and menu signs are misleading and we were surprised while ordering (only 2 sides allowed) and at the cashier after making a choice according to what is displayed. The chicken tasted ok however it was lukewarm. The sides were disappointing because of the lack of flavor. So many great options at Dekalb market that we will definitely not come back to Foragers read more

The chicken is ok, but all the sides are bland disappointments. So many good places in the food hall. Unless they up the quality of their food, I'd give this a miss. Better places in alphabetical order: Arepa Lady, Bunsmith, Eight turn crepe, Likkle More, and Wilma Jean. read more

This was a great little stop. Very quaint. I would definitely go back. Really cool neighborhood. Great service. Tasty bites for pretty cheap. In a cool food market in the masement. So many choices of food in the market. Great fresh food here. read more

Have tried many great vendors in Dekalb market and decided to try Foragers this afternoon for some snacks. Ordered side of kale and Swiss chard along with squash soup and mac & cheese. The soup was ok but the sides were overpriced ($5ea) and terrible. The kale was flavorless along with the mac & cheese which was also under cooked, had something randomly sandy in it, and was dry like it was left out for a while. Staff also wasn't friendly. read more
