    Grilled Shrimp w/ Side-Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Catherine S.

    Noticed this place while I was at a stoplight and added it to my list to return. First thing, from the outside it's unassuming but once you entered it has a beautiful decor.Faux flowers & grass walls as well as straw decor hanging from the ceiling and lanterns. Also, green celebrity bar stools that give the place a feminine touch. We were the only couple in the restaurant so we were serviced, but I would say she wasnt able to explain some of the dishes and had to refer to the kitchen for explanations. But the food was delicious. We thought the wings were undercooked and they quickly rectified it. Everything tasted delicious. I would go back and recommend.

    Garlic mash Garlic Mashed Potatoes and BBQ Pork Ribs - Full Rack
    Steve M.

    I saw this restaurant on my stroll through the neighborhood on a Sunday evening and decided to stop in. Atmosphere: Intimate small but cozy, nicely decorated with splash of island vibe. The music was 90's R&B which was perfect for the vibes. Drinks: I had the Liar which is Hennessy and grand mariner topped with ginger. This drink is really good and hits. I also had the pineapple ginger lemonade which was really good. It's was a perfect mixup with a delightful taste! Food: I had the garlic mash potatoes and full rack of pork ribs. Everything comes really hot and sizzling. The garlic mash was great, freshly made and perfectly textured. The pork ribs oh my goodness, so soft and falls right off the bone and glazed with the right amount of homemade bbq sauce. The portions is big enough that I'm taking the other half of ribs and garlic mash for lunch tomorrow lol. Service: The service was really good. The waitress was very attentive, provided check-ins, gave recommendations, and always had a smile on her face. Overall: I will return to try other items on the food and cocktail menu.

    Sometimes, you just want BBQ. Well, look here...a BBQ spot on Nostrand Ave. So why not try it. My friend and I went to pick up food b/c I just didn't have the energy to be out after traveling for 2 days. I got the beef rib and potato salad. The rib was flavorful and falling off the bone. The potato salad was a little on the sweet side. My friend said that's how people in the Caribbean make it. I had to doctor it up to make it more southern. All I was missing was the egg...lol. But overall, good! My friend had the rack of pork ribs w garlic mash potatoes. She was satisfied! Saved the other half for a snack lol. The staff was super sweet when taking the to go order. We actually got a drink while waiting for the food. The pineapple ginger lemonade was sooooo good. I will come back to actually dine in. It's cute inside. I'm sure the good would be even better.

    Let me start off by saying if you come here get the mussels in the white wine sauce and also the pork ribs , you will not be disappointed! The ribs fell off the bone and were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also had the lamb chops which were also tender and seasoned well. I was told the mashed potatoes were tasty but needed a little more salt. We tried the Mac and cheese, it was okay but needed a little salt as well. The pineapple ginger lemonade was really good. The ginger wasn't overpowering at all! Our waiter was very kind and kept a smile on her face. Service was really good in my opinion. Music: soca and calypso played at a very reasonable level. Environment: it's small and intimate but the decor is gorgeous! Parking: street parking is available. I would come back for the mussels and to try a new dish.

    Went here for happy hour on a Friday. The ambiance is nice the customer service was good. One drink tasted like juice and the other you can tell had alcohol in it I don't think it was mixed equally well. the overall taste of the guava coconut was pretty good. I also wish that they had a happy hour menu because there was no prices of anything to refer by and our waitress just told us the drinks tht were happy hour and didn't tell us the price until we got the bill (which wasn't happy hour price it was $12 while she stated other margaritas are $7. i do wish she told us that prior but its okay). i think it would be better if they had a menu and also had food on the happy hour menu as well. I will go back again and try their food next time

I wanted to try the Chicken & waffles, but the young lady who was at the cash register told me the chicken wasn't fresh so I would have to wait until thirty minutes for fried chicken, so she suggested I try the shrimp and waffles. she was right the shrimp and waffles were delicious and pretty good. "Enijah .V" was the young lady at the cash register she was very nice and helpful and friendly too, she told me she was the manager at the Brooklyn wafflehouse Bedford-Stuyvesant location 434 Hancock street. , there have three locations one in Crown heights on Nostrand avenue, the next one in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn on Nostrand avenue further down, and the next location on Bedford-Stuyvesant on Hancock street. This location is the Flatbush section. unfourtnely this location doesn't have an indoor place to sit down, probably during the warm weather season there is a chair and table to sit outside like a cafe' . the crown heights and the Bedford -Stuyvesant location has an indoor table & chairs & outdoor table & seats (cafe"). I'll definitely be back to try the chicken and waffles !!!!!. P.S. 1.you can always order on Grubhub, Seamless, DoorDash or Postmates, or Uber eats!. 2. There have different waffle flavors to try!.

The outdoor seating looked pleasant. The service was cheerful and attentive. We ordered the Chicken & Oreo waffles and the Baked BBQ Jerk Turkey Wings and mashed potatoes. My wife and I ordered Mimosas, which were fine. The turkey wings were well seasoned and fell off the bone, but there wasn't a hint of barbecue or jerk, which annoyed me. The chicken did not taste well seasoned for Southern cuisine. The mashed potatoes were good. The Oreo waffles were light on the Oreos and came out as pictured, without the whip cream or other toppings that typically adorn a specialty meal. I only mention this because the cost is a bit on the high side, setting expectations up. Our server Kitana was very nice and attentive. It's fine for a low key meal with family and friends. I hope it succeeds even though I won't be rushing back.

Lots of people were coming for takeout, and that was the plan originally, but i decided to stay once i walked in and realized it'll be a cute brunch date with just us in an empty restaurant. The service was great. We were greeted immediately upon entry. Asked if we wanted to dine in or go... and was able to choose where we wanted to be seated because the restaurant only had a few other patrons eating in. I chose a table in the middle of the restaurant. The vibes were good as it was a Pandora playlist of 2000s R&B. We were given menus and ordered our food. The price point is okay. A bit high but not too much. We ordered a passion fruit lemonade and a rum punch for drinks, and then chicken and strawberry waffles for me, and shrimp and Oreo waffles for my date. The shrimp were huge!! It comes 6 to an order, and as you can see 4 triangle pieces that amount to 1 waffle. The chicken was delicious. Juicy, tender and flavorful. Hot sauce and other condiments are available on the table. I had to ask for syrup tho. We hung out for a few after we finished our meal and didn't feel pressured to leave or to pay. All in all, I'd definitely return to try other things on their menu. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 for this one. Because it's walking distance from my home it's an easy choice for brunch for me. A win is a win! See photos below.

The interior is a bit on the darker side, but the outdoor seating looked like it would be a great ambiance. I ordered a grain bowl with grilled chicken. I loved the sauce, which had a hint of chili and tomato. The chicken was super thick, juicy, and tender, and the rice pilaf was the perfect texture too. It felt like a very simple and healthy, yet delicious meal. We considered getting one of their signature pancakes to share, but were unfortunately too full. We will definitely be back to try it in the future!

I usually get savory then have pancakes so a single is perfect for me! The hazelnut syrup is amazing and the texture of the pancake is perfect. No notes! Have never tried any that have a similar taste palette. The closest I would compare to would be Golden Diner but they're still oh so different. I got hash browns as well..crisped up rectangular hash brown made from frozen. So disappointing..I was hoping for real freshly made ones. They tasted like the oil they were cooked in so I had to doze with them with sauces. Their ice tea is on point! Fragrant earl grey.. so good. And overall I appreciate the range of n/a drinks. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the service is great. A little slow but they still take care of you with a smile and I appreciate that!

They were unbelievably moist, fluffy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The blueberries tasted fresh, the pancakes had the perfect buttery richness, and somehow they still felt light instead of overly heavy. The location inside the food hall adds to the whole experience too. It has this cool grungy-meets-industrial vibe that feels very DUMBO, and the views of the water make it an even better spot to sit and slow down for a meal. Service was friendly, quick, and easygoing, which matched the atmosphere perfectly. If you're debating whether the pancakes are worth it, the answer is absolutely yes. I'll definitely be back.

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.

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.

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.
