We made reservations on resy and I suggest you do the same especially for Sundays where it can get busy. We were greeted by an amazing host who was accommodating. We were seated right away. Our server was very nice. The service I can say is outstanding We ordered the crab meat deviled eggs, the chicken shrimp and waffles. The Asian wings and the pancakes with bacon. To drink we had the mocktails "sorrel ginger beer and lime juice" delicious. The music was great. The DJ had us vibing. Please note that there is a 20 percent gratuity charge for two or more people dining which I've never experienced before but I didn't complain because the service was great. With gratuity it was 143. Located by the train and bus stops easy to get to read more

I like to support black owned businesses... but I despise establishments that lack professionalism and couth. I made reservations for a Sunday @ 5pm, the day before. As I'm heading to the restaurant from NJ, I realized I received a missed call from them @ 4:07pm. I called them back. They are asking me to push my reservation back to 5:30pm because their brunch went over. It would take their kitchen time to switch over to the dinner portion. Idk about you but that doesn't sound like a "me" problem, especially when I booked in advance. For the first 30 mins, I was just going to order drinks and some apps anyways. I told the rep on the phone that I'd like to keep my reservation for the same time. She said see you then. I arrive @ 4:52pm and the music is loud. So loud that people were yelling to speak to each other. It doesn't look like a regular brunch session but an event as there were decorations everywhere. The hostess comes to speak to me and she says "yeah, like I mentioned on the phone, we're still switching over so we'd have to push you back to 5:10/5:15". I looked around and it didn't look like anything was even in the process of getting switched over. It was still packed with people, taking photos, sitting down and eating. I said okay. She said they would call me when they were ready. I walked out and went to another restaurant. I'm not about to waste my time waiting here when another establishment with good customer service is willing to seat and feed me. And guess what? I never did receive that callback. Figures. So everyone saying make a reservation, it clearly doesn't matter if one is made or not. They don't respect others' time. It's businesses like this that make it harder for other black owned businesses. Advice to the business owner: if your brunches are that packed and crazy, consider placing a cap on the table time. You'll earn respect, earn more money and have continuous reach from setting expectations early on rather than having a free for all. They will never get my business and I would never recommend. First impressions are everlasting. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day recently (my 3rd time here). I had a great time for a solo dinner. I had a reservation and was seated right away. My waiter was attentive and got all of my orders correct. I had the shortrib Devil Eggs as my appetizer; absolutely delicious. My entrée was the Surf and Turf which included braised Oxtails and Grilled Shrimp with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and vegetables. My dessert was the Coquito Lost Borough Ice Cream or Sorbet which I didn't enjoy as much as the food. The Blue Dress cocktail is always a must when dining here. A lovely couple from a nearby table treated me to a complimentary Shots. The music was amazing. Definitely a great Valentine's day night. read more

Back here for the Valentine's Day pre fix. Service was a little slow to start but picked up well. Music and vibe was on point. Everyone was enjoying themselves. The short rib deviled eggs and the soul rolls were SO GOOD. Will be coming back for those. Very flavorful. Lobsta pasta was ok but a little on the oily side. read more

Casual atmosphere. Good for big groups. An interesting selection of music is playing on the radio, from country to R&B to rock 'n' roll. $22 CHESAPEAKE CRAB DIP Served with cassava chips was absolutely delicious. So creamy, cheesy and flavorful. Very decadent. 1,000,000 cal. On a salty side, so hydrate well and be aware that you will be drinking a lot of water after this. The plantain chips were light, which was great so that you don't feel guilty for such indulgence. Clam chowder was the night's special so we got that and loved this iteration. It was not like traditional clam chowder, but it was such a flavor bomb that I would return for again and again. Similar spices and seasonings were used in the crab dip. $35 JERK SHORT RIB was a solid dish that could make anyone happy. Very filling. Jerk braised short rib, garlic mashed potatoes , roasted carrots came together in a perfect medley. $36 CURRY RED SNAPPER was the absolute highlight of the night and I would come back for it over and over again. Pan seared whole red snapper, roasted cabbage , black rice finished in a coconut curry sauce. Perfectly crispy skin and delicate fillet were flavor bombs. The curry is on the spicy side so watch out. The cabbage is also spicy. I'm not a huge fan of white fish, but this was masterfully done thanks to all the seasonings. The black rice was superb. Every element of this dish came together like a melody. Huge portion too. Someone ordered a burger and that looked massive and delicious. Definitely will try next time. $10 hot chocolate was the only disappointment of the night. Swiss Miss packet. Skip. I was hoping this would be actual good quality hot chocolate for such price. Should've asked before ordering. Lesson learned. Service was friendly and accommodating. The chefs came out of the kitchen to check on how we were doing and to make sure that we enjoyed the food. That was a nice touch. Great happy hour deals for drinks and oysters. Would return to try other items on the menu. read more

Decent spot in Brooklyn for brunch and seafood. The place was not too busy when we got there (around 11am on a Saturday) and hadn't particularly picked up speed when we left, so I personally don't think there is much use in making a reservation. They keep it VERY warm in there, I'll tell you that - but it is much appreciated in the colder winter months. Service was great. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Split a large carafe of Bellini with a friend and wow did that do the job. Very tasty too and just the perfect amount of alcohol for the meal. We started with the Chesapeake crab dip which comes with cassava chips. I do not understand their ratios. A whole lot of dip (which I love, don't get me wrong) served with like, five chips. We did request more and that was an additional charge. The dip and chips were delicious, but I definitely do wish it was served with more chips. For my main, I went with the peaches and cream pancake breakfast. I do wish they had more of that peach topping on the pancakes because it was super tasty. I did also ask for candied bacon, which is always such a treat - but I must confess I did get overwhelmed by it after a while. Outside of the eggs, there weren't any savory elements to the meal, so I didn't love it as much as I wanted, but that is very much a personal problem. All in all, I think this spot is good if you're looking for a chill and solid brunch experience. Can't say it is my favorite place I've been to, but I was not regretful in the slightest when I left. read more

I had a bad experience at this place last year and I am just getting to talk about it. This was my second visit and I take my friend out for her birthday. It was a Sunday and there was one other party. There was a woman acting as a host and manager who was very short tempered. Even when a coworker let her know we were waiting she seemed bothered. Hopefully she no longer employed there. We ordered the crab cakes and I had the burger as an entree I don't we recall what my friend had as her main and 2 cocktails . What happened was the woman came over and cleared out crab cake appetizers before we finished. Ok we finished the crab cakes but we were picking on the greens on the side. Overall we had oysters crab cakes and a main course. The service was cold . One young man assisted me with remoulade sauce and that was sweet . The food was good but it wasn't worth going out there and I was going to give them one more try. read more

I recently revisited Sweet Catch and was disappointed with waffle menu item, as well as the grilled oysters. The fried lobster tail was delicious and well executed when I had it during the first few months of this establishment existence. It has been replaced with fried chicken, but the pieces of chicken are not thoughtfully or skillfully butchered. The oysters were extremely small, and there was a lot of grit which can be very unpleasant. The cornbread and the drinks that I shared with my friend were really good. The backyard space is really cute, but the weight staff seemed a bit disorganized. Hoping that this establishment will review and make changes as necessary. read more

I came here for with my friend for an event they were having to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They were serving lite bites and drinks samples. The decor is really nice and chic. I like tge old school shots and the little plants; as well as the hand sanitizer on the table. The meatballs were very tasty, the spring rolls were good, and the chicken n waffel bites were delicious. I ordered the catfish n fries, the catfish was really good: good seasoning and fried well. My friend had the catfish and grits; she said it was really tasty she tore it up. For drinks I had the blacker the berry which I liked very much. I would definitely reccomend this place for dinner, drinks, and brunch. Meeting with friends, a date, or just a good time. read more

Had a belated Father's Day brunch with my mother and daughter here. I had an early reservation, but ended up arriving before they were open. The hostess was extremely welcoming and allowed me early entry. Someone came over shortly thereafter to take our orders. The place was very nice, decent in size and had music in, but not at a level where you can't hear each other and was appropriate for all age groups. Every employee that passed the table was friendly and courteous and wanted to ensure that we were enjoying our time and meal, which is a nice touch. My mother had shrimp and grits. I ordered eggs, grits and home fries. While my daughter ordered the kid size sliders (it's enough for an adult) and macaroni and cheese that we all shared. The macaroni was great, the home fries and grits were good. I did think the eggs were just so-so. Overall, I had a wonderful time here and would return. Just as FYI-- they do charge an automatic gratuity of 20% if you have more than two people. read more

The host greeted us warmly with a huge smile and offered us seating options inside and in the enclosed heated patio. We chose the heated patio as the interior was small and the patio had more seating options. The main dining space has nice blue accent walls and bright lighting. The patio had faux green grass carpet and a few white tables- moreso an overflow area without much decor. More people came in over time but it was warm, comfortable and had nice r&b/afrobeat music playing. On my way out I noticed a dj came. The catfish sandwich was delicious- seasoned well with shoestring fries. The shrimp and waffle was tasty but the waffles didn't have the cornmeal texture that I expected since it was cornbread waffles even though it did have a nice, sweet flavor. Shoestring fries weren't my favorite, but the coleslaw topping made it a little messy but still delicious. Would definitely get again. read more

Sweet Catch. What a phenomenal and delicious experience. The restaurant is a must for your date night or brunch. I'm confident you will appreciate the chic interior and exceptional hospitality. During this amazing brunch, I ordered and thoroughlyy enjoyed the corn waffle with shrimp and chicken. The waffle was filled with flavo,r, with little pieces of corn. The chicken and shrimwereere cooked golden brown and seasoned very well. The crab deviled eggs were to die for. With a touch of Caribbean flair, this meal was sensational. I would highly recommend ytryry Sweet Cat; byy, the brunch DJ was fire. read more

Made reservations, called to confirm, arrived at 830pm sat at the bar and waited and waited. Left pissed! Backstory we wanted to sit at the bar for a few minutes before we had dinner watch them remove two tables for two people and did not even acknowledge that we made a reservation for 915 and they waited until 930 to acknowledge that we were still waiting, so relax. Do not waste your time going here. They're completely unprofessional and not dignify time.. read more

I came here for dinner with my girl. It was Thursday night and there were maybe 3 other parties dining in. Inside is really cute with lots of abstract artwork around. We were seated immediately and our waitress was really sweet and friendly. The music playing was a vibe. It wasn't too loud and we were able to hold a conversation without having to yell. Everything we tried was pretty delicious. It included the following: House cornbread- 9/10 Maryland crabcake- 8/10 Fried lobster and shrimp on cornbread waffle- 10/10 Crispy Brussels- 7.5/10 I definitely recommend Sweet Catch for their great service and will be back for that fried lobster and shrimp on cornbread waffle! read more

I went to brunch at Sweet Catch a few weeks ago with some friends and enjoyed the ambiance and the food. I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles. For my flavor of waffles I got the peaches and cream. It was very delicious, the server explained that the peach compote was mixed into the batter instead of on the side or on top. I appreciated that tid bit of information because I had originally requested the compote on the side. Overall my meal and drink ( some type rum drink) was good. The chicken was moist and the waffle was fluffy and flavorful. I'd definitely come back and explore more of the menu. read more

SOULFUL SEAFOOD There are so many seafood restaurants to choose from now but the number of really good spots is limited with Sweet Catch earning its spot on that short list! I have had the pleasure to dine here several times for a variety of reasons and have felt that the current experience better than the prior each time. Here are the reasons why you should stop in: (1) It's a vibe, especially in the summer months! They usually have a DJ on the weekends playing anything from old school R&B to new school dancehall. (2) The drinks are on point! I had a sorrel drink one time that so well crafted that I ordered 2 more after happy hour ended. I am a fan of all of their Caribbean inspired drinks, actually. (3) The food is delicious! I had the best fried shrimp of 2024 here. The succulent shrimp seasoned and lightly breaded then fried to perfection is definitely the shining star for me. An honorable mention goes out to their coconut curry cilantro sauce which is a well balanced, savory and sweet combination that pairs well with seafood and their deviled eggs, which are the truth! (4) Nicely decorated interior & outdoor space with IG photo ops throughout! In the words of one of the wonderful Black women that own this restaurant, Ka-Wana Jefferson: "Sweet Catch is a love letter to our culture, our people, and our love for seafood cuisine; a place of remembrance for what history has erased and a celebration of our spirit." SHE'S NOT LYING SO COME ON DOWN! read more

The staff is very engaged with customers and create a fun environment. Ambiance: the location ambiance is chilled and relax. The tables and seating area accommodate to whatever your party size.

It's right in the mix of Little Caribbean amongst some great restaurants and a vibrant community. A friend and I met up here for lunch before heading to the Rise Up NYC free concert at the (Wingate) park nearby (Lloyd, Jon B and Fabolous performed- be still, my elder millennial heart!). All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We were seated outside in the patio area. It's covered and had AC and a fan it so we were comfortable and not scorched by the sun and heat! I got the crab cakes Benedict and my friend got the fish sandwich. Both were tasty. I'd come back to try their dinner menu. The establishment seemed clean and well maintained. I appreciated how clean the bathroom was as well. It's not a large restaurant, and it's popular. I recommend making reservations if you plan to come. read more

The food was simply ok. Definitely needed more seasoning on everything. Everything g took forever. They ran out of an ingredient for one of the cocktails we ordered but compensated with free shots which was cool.. Ordered appetizers: fried shrimp-was ok, deviled eggs with shrimp- was good, and Asian chilli wings-was not good, under seasoned and was burnt, they had to bring a new batch which was also under seasoned. I ordered mac and cheese, collard greens and southern fried chicken. I expected bone in chicken but was presented with tiny tenders lol..friends ordered salmon with mash and collard- she said it was ok- other friend ordered shrimp and grits she didn't like it, she was accommodated by being allowed to order something else which was black rice snapper and collards..snapper was burnt, under seasoned the black rice y'all lmao the black rice was literally lack and taste nothing like black rice NOTHING lol.. The host tried her best to be accommodating but honestly, they need a new chef..ambiance was good, dj was vibing and it was packed..very, very small interior. Cocktails are excellent! I would tell you go there for the drinks but the bar is so small you may not even get to sit at the bar or the restaurant..we were lucky as we didn't have a reservation and it was a party of 3. Overall, I probably won't go again but try it for yourself. read more

Overall rating: 4.5 I've been two times for their happy hour. One of my friends is a regular & I don't usually go out in the area, so it was a great new visit. I am absolutely obsessed with their mussels & curry. I wish I could buy a jar of that curry The second time I went was about 2.5 weeks after. So I thought it was weird/ interesting that the second time I went, I had a 20% automatic gratuity to my bill bc the first time didn't have it. Maybe I gave the impression that I wouldn't tip? I'm not sure. But the first time I did, so overall confused. Maybe it's because I'm quiet? Hm not sure. Will try again to see if I have a different experience. I really like the community. But maybe I'm too different. read more

I finally checked out Sweet Catch BK and now I understand why people keep talking about it. I went on trivia night which added such a fun vibe to the experience it felt lively but still chill enough to enjoy the food. Started with the crab cake and deviled eggs, then had shrimp with mac & collards, plus the curry snapper with black rice. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the cornbread was honestly dangerously good. If you like Caribbean flavors mixed with comfort food classics, this spot is worth visiting. Perfect for date night, girls night, or just when you want something different in Brooklyn. read more

It's a cute brunch/ evening spot. It's small in there so the tip is get there early if you can and give them time to set up if you gotta a crowd. My party was able to access the backyard. I'm normally not an outside type person but the set up was nice. This review was a long time coming, so can't really remember what I ate. But I'm looking forward to seeing them again. read more

We went to this restaurant for seafood, not for the first time, but this visit was very disappointing. Besides the drinks being overpriced, they brought us a plate of six oysters that I've never seen anything like--so dry the flesh was basically painted onto the shell. I asked the waiter to check, and he insisted they were freshly opened. I'm not new to oysters--they're one of my favorite foods--but these were clearly not right. After a long wait, the manager finally came and admitted they had been opened the day before, though she wasn't very clear about when exactly. She agreed to cancel the order, and we decided to cancel everything else as well. When the check arrived, we noticed a 20% gratuity had still been added. To avoid further fuss, we paid and left. Very sad, especially as PLG locals who used to enjoy this place--we won't be coming back. read more

Came here today to get dinner. My thing is service - Always has been and always will be. Came here tonight for dinner. I came in for a table for 1. I had no reservation. A couple came in after me. They no reservation. The hostess instead of taking me first, took the couple behind me. I was completely disgusted because I was clearly waiting first, while this couple with no reservation was placed before me. I understand the need to support black businesses but as a black woman who's lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years where's the support for black customers - i guarantee I would've spent more than this couple and I would've tipped more. It's their loss - I wish them all the success they truly dropped the ball. read more

I wanted to love this place because the food is actually good but the service left a bad taste in my mouth and I can't give them five stars. The place is also extremely loud for brunch so you can't have a conversation. What's amazing: The mimosas The crab drip with plantain chips What's good: The eggs Benedict Chicken and waffles and shrimp What's okay (can skip): Sandwiches Their crab dip is some of the best so I highly recommend it. I also recommend checking your bill before paying because I didn't notice they overcharged us $17 for pancakes (we ordered it but they didn't have any so they never removed it, I called the next day thinking it would be something quick and the lady told me no worries they would refund me. Days passed and still nothing, I called back and they tell me they would zelle me. More days passed still nothing... I know $17 isn't a lot but it's the principle, don't overcharge people and refund their money. They started avoiding me and making me feel as if I was crazy for wanting such a "little amount" of money back (their words)-- I eventually had to email letting them know I would contact my credit card company to refund me the $17 if they didn't and magically that same day they Zelled me. No apologies, no calls. Nothing. Safe to say their service is terrible so just go somewhere else. There's plenty of good Caribbean places in the area. read more

I was in heaven. The cocktails and mocktails outstanding. Black owned spirits. The coconut cocktails was frothy, pineapple and perfectly balanced. Kindred spirit may be the best drink of the year. Well rounded. The shrimp deviled eggs fantastic. Reminded of new Orleans and Maryland. Crispy shrimp, perfectly seasoned and fried. The cream in the egg. Yes a 10. The mission shells drink was unique. Lavender light foamy creamy tropical pineapple. Outstanding. The black ink pasta with lobster, crab and champagne sauce. The sauce was saucing. Im Italian and rarely like pasta out. Im craving it. Outstanding. The blacked salmon perfect. The vegan gluten-free free smoky collard greens sweet n smoky. Really good. Garlic mash great.

I came here for a 90's themed birthday dinner with about 15-20 people. We got the private area in the out door are out back which had fans and a speaker for our personal music. We pre selected our meals which made everything much easier. We were told that drinks weren't included in our meal package which was no biggie. I ordered a Dussé Sangria which was yummy. For appetizers we had Deviled eggs, Ceasar Salad with Cornbread Croutons. The Ceasar salad was good. I could taste the anchovies in the caesar dressing. But it was nice and salty. The cornbread croutons complimented the dressing. I wish the croutons were a little more crunchy and they felt just a little soggy. I just like the contrasting textures. For the dinner portion I had a seafood pasta and my friend had the short ribs and mashed potatoes. they were both good. Although the pasta was just a bit overwhelming, I would definitely get the short ribs next time. I would definitely recommend and be back. read more
