Ordered delivery, so can't say anything about the vibes…read more The chicken was absolutely dry and way too charcoal-y -- the flavor was there, but it wasn't enough to save it. Grilled corn was also a miss -- barely ripe, small kernels, totally flavorless. The saving graces: coleslaw that was perfectly creamy with an unexpected kick, solid mac n cheese, and flavorful yellow rice. The sides did their job, but the mains did not.

Not as much food as we were expecting but still very solid for what you pay for…read more The rice is sold and seasoned and the chicken is cooked well done. The extra hot sauce is HOT and the garlic and herb sauce is really delicious, although I wish we had ordered more. Nothing crazy standout from our food from here but nothing particularly negative either. Solid.

(Unfortunately, this place is NOW CLOSED by the City) I've…read morebeen to Ayat several times since they opened in Bay Ridge. But this is the first two times that I've gone to their "NEW" sit down location' across from the original. The decor is really pretty and it pays homage to Palestine. The staff is great. I've gotten the Hibiscus Margarita (non-alcoholic - so good, you honestly don't miss alcohol); Got Muradad: rice/lentil/caramelized onions n some kinda yogurt; Chicken Shawarma salad; the measl comes with pita bread, olives in oil and another seasoned oil dish

Tip: if buying takeout, please make sure u got all your sauces (yogurt/hot sauce) in the bag!…read more I bought take out from here. I ordered the kefta and it wouldve probably tasted better if they gave us yogurt and hot sauce! Without it, the whole plate was dry. There was still some flavor on the rice and meat, but its not satisfying without the sauces. I didnt notice we were missing the sauce until i got home and i was not driving 20 minutes back over there to get sauce

I picked up an order of grape leaves as a snack on my way back to Manhattan a couple of nights ago…read more They were really just average at best and an order of 5 grape leaves rang in at $20 + tax which is insanely expensive. I can't comment on the service since I got takeout, but the place was about 40% full and the ambiance was really nice. Bathroom didn't have a functioning soap dispenser which was concerning! Based on the prices I doubt I'll return but others seems to really love it!

This place earned its spot at the top of my BBQ list--fast…read more I discovered Hometown Bar-B-Que while in the area for my son's soccer game, and let's just say... that detour turned into a game-changing decision. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're focused on family and stumble into excellence. The food is the real deal. Bold, authentic, and done with discipline. Every bite reflects craftsmanship and pride. No shortcuts. No hype. Just results. The open, spacious layout creates an atmosphere that's relaxed, energetic, and inviting--perfect for unwinding, connecting, and enjoying great food without feeling boxed in. It has that Brooklyn-meets-business-meets-community vibe that works. And the pastrami? Memorable. Elite. The kind of flavor that sticks with you and makes you plan your next visit before you've even left.

Happy Juneteenth!…read more Came here not for any other reason than wanting to explore a different neighborhood. Lines at all the big spots (Red Hook Tavern, Brooklyn Crab, and Hometown) were long, but we decided to wait it out and get food here. Lines was not just long but didn't move for a bit. Despite that we were able to get seating. Like many BBQ places, you order at the register and they'll give you whatever is already prepare and then bring over the rest of your order at your table. Best dish by far was the Korean sticky ribs. The pulled pork sandwich wasn't great; not hot at all, just room temperature. The Vietnamese wings had good flavor but the skin is very tight (it's an order of a few whole wings, not drums and flats). Cornbread and dill pickles were great, potato salad was a bit too vinegary for me. They had the US World Cup match on, but not the audio until after they scored a goal. Felt like they forgot to switch the audio. A little disappointing. Overall a good but not mind blowing experience.

Nice location right off the Boardwalk. I came here with my husband and 2 kids. It's a child…read morefriendly place - first time I've ever been to a restaurant that has a built in play place. My daughter checked it out but she didn't have socks to play so she stayed at the table with us. For appetizers, we ordered the dumplings (so cute and delicious), the pancakes and the pizza. The pizza was mediocre. For our entrees I had the shrimp avocado salad and my husband got the gosht burger. Our entrees were really tasty. We also got a side of fries for our daughter which we didn't really have to order. It is a little pricey but look at their location! When we got the bill we were charged $10 for the play place. I asked for it to be removed because my daughter didn't really play there and didn't have socks so our waitress removed it. It's not a big playground area and how long can kids really ply there if they're there for the restaurant? They charge $10 on weekday and $15 on weekends.

DUKKA MEAT. I remember the first time I tried this location when it first opened, it is in a…read moreperfect spot near the beach. The service was a little slow but the food was amazing. I had the dukka meat which was just so good, full of flavor and just perfect. I love to order from here for delivery. The gosht burger is good, but the dukka meat always is my go to!! Worth every penny.

The masala fries... get them!! So much flavor. My second favorite thing is the crispy chicken sandwich. Really crispy and i loved the bun. I thought the burger was pretty good too but we enjoyed the crispy chicken more. I will have to try the chicken & rice one day too. For some comfort food on a cheat day, this will be the spot. Great service with my deliveries, with nice folks on the phone and on time deliveries. Definitely recommend!
