    Small Stew Chicken
    Imani L.

    My in and out Jamaican food spot. I switch between the stew chicken and oxtail with rice and peas. My grandma lives for It. Perfect to pick up and go. Not much of a super formal dining room, but expect some good reggae while you eat, adding some authenticity to your experience.

    This is a soup I had , very good soup . But look how it's served when you eat in, plastic cup hard to eat that way.

    Good jamaican home cooking . Good jerked chicken and oxtail. The only thing I don't like is they serve you in styrofoam plates when you eat in . Soups are served in plastic cups when eating in too which sucks . There is no bring your own beer. Jamaican food is complimented better with beer. I would have given it 4 stars if plates and real utensils where available upon eating in . This is a larger restaurant not a storefront . I have seen smaller shops serve soups and meal with real plates. Soup difficult to eat on a plastic cup.

    I have been coming here for the stew chicken since I was a kid. It's so good and I always recommend this place to my friends if they are in spring valley & in the mood for Jamaican food. Check it out & support a local business!

    The service has gotten progressively worse. Some of the staff is extremely rude and not friendly at all.

    Korean fried chicken is something you have to experience. This isn't just another stop at your…read morelocal chicken joint, it's the kind of meal that makes you wish you had an ice-cold beer in hand to go with it. We've driven past Don Chicken plenty of times saying, "We have to try this," and on a Friday night we finally made it our date night. The spot itself is simple, with plenty of parking, and fully focused on serving must-try Korean fried chicken. I walked in ready to order one of everything, but the cashier quickly realized I was new and helped narrow it down to chicken, dumplings, and an order of fries. Let me be clear, if you're picturing small buffalo-style wings from a local wing spot, reset your expectations. These were full-size wings. We ordered them plain and soy-glazed, and both were excellent. The dumplings, also soy-glazed, were just as good. From the first bite, the crunch and flavor hit immediately. It wakes up your senses and makes you realize this isn't just chicken. You can taste the care that goes into the prep, and it absolutely shows. Despite being busy, the service was friendly and attentive, which always makes the experience better. When we finished eating, it looked like we barely made a dent, plenty of leftovers that were happily enjoyed by the family later at home. If I could change one thing, it would be having a beer to pair with the meal, but that's a minor detail. This is a quality spot and an easy go-to for Korean fried chicken in the Hudson Valley. 5/5 stars.

    Where do I start? Ah yes! The food quality is remarkably impressive. I will admit I am not…read moreparticularly fond of thigh meat; however, this restaurant knows how to execute making thigh meat taste extremely flavorful and juicy. I love that the owner took creative liberty to have Korean-imported exclusive flavors (both of which I ordered). This exclusivity makes this place unique. I love that the owner cares about the quality and remains knowledgeable about healthy techniques to maintain high-standard food quality. The fries alone are delicious with or without the cheese snowing seasoning. The cheese snowing has a unique subtle sweetness and faint sharp cheese taste, which is impressively yummy. The onion rings have a perfect crunch and great buttery earthy flavor. The purring seasoning is not too cheesy, has a faint nutty, sweet flavor that pairs with the parsley. Okay, enough about the food, haha, the service is stunning compared to some restaurants I've been to. The owner is polite, humble, genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, positive, and has a radiant energy that leaves you feeling happy. I loved the conversation we exchanged. The owner even retains that energy with every customer that enters, which was truly impressive. The above and beyond nature combined with strict food quality standards and care is amazing. So food and service are stellar. What about the ambiance? The energy is a calm, peaceful, positive environment where you are allowed to enjoy your meal in serenity even with a TV on. Overall, this restaurant well earned all 5 stars, and if I could rate above 5 stars, I would! Thank you for a delightful meal and remarkable experience.

The Burg Loft hit me with some lofty burgsquirt this time around. So lofty and luscious that I had to return to update my review. I rarely do that, it's so rare that you'd call it raw. Hit em with a claw. Chomping down at the jaw I roar a raw roar of surprise and roar so joyous in nature that it reminds a chicken that it was once a Tyrannosaurus rex. Always remember who you really are under that grease ball facade you keep. The years have served ya well, Burger Loft. This classic was scrumptious. One of the best double smashed I've had. Not overly salty, not overly greasy, not too crisp, not undercooked, super juicy, great taste, perfect amount of cheese and a nice homemade sauce on a solid but undemanding bun. I love an undemanding bun that deserves some funk and crunk out of some quality meat. Woof woooooooooof. Awooooooo. Oh no. The blue moon beckons me. I must wrap this up quickly - You won't like me when the clock strikes midnight. Simple. Traditional. A classic. Burger Loft - A true BILF. A fine wine. It was nice to see you again, babe, and I hope you thought the same. Price to quality ratio is a 5 star... tastiness itself still a Yelp 5 rounded up. I'm proud of you - be proud of yourself. You earned the uptick in stardom. Look forward to our next disco, be prepared to get groovy.

We shared the BBQ Wings before all getting our own burgers. I went with the Mushroom Burger which I thoroughly enjoyed along with a side of fries. However, their "side" of fries is pretty huge so I ended up taking it home! Didn't love the wings but the burger and fries were perfect -- guess that's why they're called the burger loft haha.

First impression walking in, the place is beatifully decorated. It is tasteful and elegant yet inviting and family friendly. My first stop was to the restroom and I gotta say, the place looked spotless which gives you a sense of confidence in the cleanliness of the environment. I also noticed that it is a very large and open space which would be a perfect venue to celebrate any occasion as a big group. When I walked in I noticed that it was a lively and warm ambiace tha makes you feel comfortable to be there. The food: The food was great! Very tasty and fresh. I had the big boy burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was delicious and tho I knew it included jalapeños, I was surprised at how spicy it was. When I looked, it had big pieces of jalapeños w some seeds. No wonder it was too hot, not the jar jalapeños. I took some of it out and enjoyed the whole thing. I didn't finish my fries because they were soggy. No crunch at all. My date on the other hand, ordered a churrasco with yuca fries. The bartender messed up his order and brought him what is called "Portuguesa Churrascaria" which includes grilled skirt steak, pork chop, chicken, and chorizo with moro rice and sweet plantains. Tho it was not what he ordered, he was glad they served him that. It was delicious. It was nicely seasoned, nicely plated and overall very satisfying. Big serving! The yuca fries was dissapointing as I was expecting more of the typical latin crunchy yuca fries where it is first boiled and then fried. This was more like yuca puree, breaded and fried...think mozzarella sticks. Overall this place is worth visiting. Bring your date, bring your friends, bring yo mama, bring your kids, impress your clients...whatever! just visit, you wont regret it. Staff, very friendly and attentive and Plenty of free parking outside!
