Ariana was great! She was so friendly and attentive. She made recommendations and her energy was impeccable!

I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life and grew up going to Pipers Kilt, so I know what good local spots feel like. I've only been to Bronx Public a few times since it opened, but every time it's been the same vibe; it's very clear they only really care about their regulars. If you're not one, the service is honestly just bad. I went when they first opened and it's changed so much, and not in a good way. The service was actually so disappointing it lowkey made me sad and feel disrespected. We still tipped because that's just how I am, but yeah... I won't be coming back. :) read more

Food was fine overall, but the wings were overcooked - though I do appreciate that they let us pick just flats. Disappointed to see they've changed the plantains, they're now thin and taste more like bagged plantains, which defeats the reason I used to come here. The restaurant was clean, but empty for a Thursday night. read more

We were VIP when Joe and his wife owned it, known as Piper's Kilt. Those were the good times. Today the food had changed. I ordered the Salmon dish with . If you have heart burn issues I would not order this. Too much sauce and kind of too grilled. Salad was great. Service was good, only had one person taking care of everything. Ambiance was quiet, not many people. I may return just for a Lychee. read more

Had the chicken and waffles and it was the worst I've had. The waffle was dry and it only came with a little container of syrup that was not enough to save the waffles. The chicken wasn't even the pieces you would think it was just 2 flat thin chicken breasts. It was edible but not enjoyable and not worth the price ($20) read more

It was an incredible experience for me to come here and celebrate a friend's birthday. With decor that accurately captures the essence of the Bronx, memorabilia and artifacts that are emblematic of the neighborhood, and a sign that reads, "If it weren't for the Bronx," it immediately makes you feel at home. The 90s nostalgia is brought to life by the music, which makes you want to sing and dance while you eat. I really liked the chicken and waffles, which come in generous servings and at a reasonable price. There were two large pieces of fried chicken and four waffles. Additionally, waffles were served with a delicious honey butter, which is SOOO good. The waffles were tasty and fluffy, and the chicken was crispy with flavorful seasoning. I had a sangria with this, which was the ideal pairing. It was fruity and refreshing. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the food was served quickly. The service was excellent. Seth, the owner, is super sweet and founded Bronx Public with the intention of providing a place for friends to get together for delicious food and beverages, he succeeded in making that happen. All in all, my experience at The Bronx Public was fantastic. I'm happy that such a space exists and can only hope that more spots like this come to the Bronx. I will definitely plan to be come back! read more

Came here on a random night out. Def a great spot to check out the game via tv or come before/ after the Yankees play. The food was okay - was expecting better since my friend raved about it. But nope. Drinks were good though. Staff were laid back but kind. Typical bar atmosphere, looks like it can be lots of fun read more

I Went Here For Their Happy Hour On My Birthday. The Happy Hour Deals Are Okay. The Flyer I Saw On IG Was Kind Of Misleading/Confusing. I Thought They Had Wings For Happy Hour But They Dont. Other Than The That Food And Service Was Good. Juan Was Our Waiter And He Was Really Good! Honestly, He Is Giving Them Their 4th Star. The Wings Were Good But Nothing To Die For And Then The Shrimp Food Came Undercook Hence Why We Ended Up With Another Order Of Wings. The Passionfruit Margarita Pitcher Tasted Good But Me And Friend Drank The Whole Pitcher And Didnt Feel Anything Lol So It Was Pretty Much Juice. Would I Recommend? Idk Depends On What The Person Looking For. Would I Go Back, Yes But Only On A Tuesday To Try Their Taco Tuesday Deal With The Hopes Of Juan Being My Server Again. read more

It's been two years since my last visit & came to update my review to give them the extra star they were missing. This will definitely be my go-to game day spot. The wings are great and decently priced & the atmosphere is top notch for any sporting event. read more

If you are looking for somewhere with atmosphere to catch a game and grab brunch (or something to eat), look no further. The Bronx Public is a comfortable, familiar sports bar/restaurant with bottomless drink options at brunch on weekends. They offer a variety of 90 min bottomless flavoured mimosas, sangrias and a few other cocktails. After getting word that its gets super crowded once it's game time, my cousin and I got to the spot early because we didn't have a reservation! Luckily it was super quick getting us seated, and we were told we had to wrap up before the next reservation time; which worked out great. Overall it was a good experience. The food and drinks were okay/good... And most importantly you can tell that this is a spot which is a regular for people living nearby. read more

Made a reservation, and first impressions were good. the first seating they placed us had a broken table so they moved us which was nice they let us pick any spot. the place had Good ambiance with good music that set a good vibe and plenty of tvs to watch sports game. The service was good too our waiter always stopped by to check on us if we need anything. they also gave good recommendations on the menu. the beverages like the mule were good and the food was okay, albeit a bit overpriced for the area. we got quesadillas, wings, sliders, and 2 basket of fries with plenty of drinks. they also tacked on a mandatory 20% gratuity for a party of 3. the beverages were pretty good i enjoyed it. i'll definitely come back ! read more

I came here with some friends. It's your everyday sports bar with a handful of TVs tuned into sports. There is a front area and a smaller back room as well but overall the place is not big. The place does have a good vibe and is mostly full of locals. They have games to play as well such as Uno and Jenga. The menu is your standard bar food (burgers, quesadillas, wings). For me, nothing really stood out about this place. As mentioned, it's an average sports bar you see in any neighborhood. read more

The food is wack! Food is basically served cold. I say this because the fries and the chicken were unpalatable due to inefficient heating. The server was pleasant and courteous. I didn't have a drink so I can't speak to that. The interior has a great set up. You can sit at the bar or at a table in the back of the restaurant. The best part for me the evening I visited was the live jazz band with a singer. The band was great and the featured singer has a beautiful voice. I enjoyed the music a lot but not the food. read more

This place I had seen in instant gram. Decided to drive 1 1/2 hours just to experience where I grew up. Nice spot got greeted and seated immediately. The dj was playing tech house music. Love the ambiance ppl were friendly. Service was on point. Ordered chili wings which was tasty and garlicky. Also the Cuban egg rolls were delicious. Drinks are tasty. The interior of this place looks like the 80's with graffiti all over the walls included the restrooms. I will recommend ppl who wants to go back into time THIS IS THE PLACE!! Parking is hard so good luck read more

When I heard that there was a cute cabin in the Bronx that was serving brunch I knew I had to go! Everything was amazing from the decor to the service, we even had a little heater inside of our cabin to keep us warm. We started out with a bottomless pitcher of Bellini's which were ap good and the complimentary biscuits, we got cheddar and regular they came with honey butter raspberry butter and chive cream oh my gosh so delicious. I got the steak and eggs, and my friend got the chicken and waffles we are both on our way by how good the food was! And end at all we had the strawberry shortcake and the donuts cut, I also had the smoked old fashion to end the meal wow so great if you're in the Bronx area stop by! read more

I saw the r&b first Saturdays on Instagram and thought making the trip to the Bronx could be cool with good music and good looking food. It was impossible to make a reservation for the brunch. I tried for November and December and decided my friends and I would just show up and hope to get a spot. We arrived at 2. Parking isn't the best around there. We were able to put our names down but were told we wouldn't be seated until 3:30. We hung out by the bar. Got drinks. We waited the hour and a half and we're not able to get a table. There was a party in the back and the place isn't that large so that could be why we were unable to be seated. We slowly got seats at the bar and maybe around 4:30 we were able to secure 3 seats together. The bartender was confused when my friend order our drinks (which were listed on the menu) so that was like .. what didn't you get? I had the pumpkin spice espresso martini for my drink. It was really rich and tasty. The flavor or spices on top got annoying towards the ending though. The water from the bar tasted weird to me but I think it was all the pumpkin spice flavor I had coating my mouth lol And we ordered food at the bar as well and it was almost like the guy dropping the food off and the bar tenders were trying to avoid eye contact with us so we couldn't ask for anything else lol I mean i guess I shouldn't be expecting the best food service seated at the bar but they could have checked in. The food wasn't bad. I had a veggie burger with fries. They had old bay fries which I was under the impression my friend ordered for me. My fries seemed regular. the veggie burger was okay but since they weren't taking real food orders at the bar it was literally just a patty on bread. The patty was flavorful but no bread/biscuit basket like they advertised in that Instagram and I didn't have the opportunity to make it any better. The spot was cute. Lots of people. It got HOT in there but the 2 DJs were great and the music was a vibe. If I was able to make a reservation for brunch I'd return. The people at the tables looked like there were having a great time lol I'd say we enjoyed ourselves but it could have been better with proper seating. read more

This review is for last night. My family & friends left the funeral home on Broadway & we were hungry. We walked to Bronx Public & asked for a table of 8. They couldn't seat us all together. They could split us up into 2 tables. I didn't realize that the word spread & it ended up being more like 16 of us. The venue worked with us & everyone was eventually able to stay & enjoy the food, drinks, & great atmosphere. I was happy they could accommodate us all. In a time of grief that vibe was just what we needed. Thank you for your amazing customer service last night, it was just what was needed to lift everyone's spirits. The food & drinks were amazing as usual. Friday is ladies night. I ordered a margaritas. My second drink was a rum punch & that was the star of the night for me. I ordered two of my favorite apps last night the sliders & the plantain chips. read more

Loved the decor and ambiance of the place. The music gave off nice, chill vibes. The place wasn't too loud like most brunch spots. The service was great and the staff friendly from the time we walked in. We all enjoyed our food as well. I'll deff bisit again! read more

Love this place. Love their chicken sandwhich on the regular bread, not the biscuit (haven't tried that one). The music is always good there. The crowd is usually good and the staff is friendly. read more

The vibes and music were okay but the food was less than average. The service was average. My stomach has been on FIRE since I had brunch yesterday. The food tasted like it was cooked and reheated. I will not be coming back. read more

Came yesterday for a work party and had a great time! Food was good, music was flowing and the drinks were top tier!

Definitely returning back and I hope she is there! read more

The place has become a staple in the Bronx. Great ambiance and food. This is the perfect spot for a local night out. The service is good and the staff are pretty friendly and attentive. I LOVE their mac and cheese among the other dishes. I recommend! read more

This place is pretty impressive and I did like the ambiance. The bar set up is nice as well , sort of as you enter and just walk you would definitely see the bar right there. I am not one to always come to this 231 street area but the nights I did visit, it was definitely worth the trip. Tried the burger one time and it was cooked just the right way and fries were good as well. Drink wise here, margarita was a nice choice and beer flights looked impressive but I did not try it. Staff was friendly and overall price was not so bad. read more

Ordered the mango habanero wings they were mid. Not spicy at all just felt like it had mango purée all over the wings. The vibes there are really cool though, good drinks and they also have games like uno and jenga. Service was good too friendly staff. read more

I recently visited The Bronx Public for a Sunday Brunch. It was easy to make a reservation, and we were seated quickly. The music was great, and so was the overall ambiance. Our server, Juan, was attentive and friendly. I chose the $40 brunch pre-fixe menu, which was a great value for the offerings. It included a bottomless drink choice of sangria or mimosas. Unfortunately, that is where the positivity in this review ends; the food arrived very quickly - alarmingly quick for food being made to order. We placed our order, and it was on our table within 5 minutes. This should have been a red flag for the dishes we ordered. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles, and I had the pancakes. While the food arrived warm, not hot - the pancakes were tough, and my friend's waffle was on the harder side. The maple syrup was very obviously imitation - think Mrs. Butterworth. Overall, our mediocre food choices were not a dealbreaker for us returning to this establishment. It's possible they have options we would prefer. However, the stomach ailment that took place in the following hours after brunch is the reason I will not come back. I will spare Yelp the gory details. The food arriving so quickly, combined with it being only slightly warm and slightly hard, leads me to believe that it was not made to order. This also makes me believe that the food is what contributed to my friend and I's very upset stomachs following our meal and drinks. While the music and service were great, the food was not worth risking illness for, so I will not be returning to the Bronx public. read more

The fried chicken was soggy and tasteless. The restaurant was very cold and uncomfortable. My friend has back problem, but the staff still ask us to move to the bar table to make place for someone come later than us. Because they want to take over the whole place for a birthday party with teenagers. We couldn't move because my friend's back problem. And the other group was very unhappy. I still don't understand why they are willing to ask and move everybody (three tables) to make space for one group that come late. Also the bathroom was very stinky. We had good mode and very happy to try this place and didn't get a good experience. The two starts are for the waiter and waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Bronx Public is a dope spot on the corner of 231st that has cool art, good comfort food, and reps the Bronx Brewing Company with pride. We stopped in on a Saturday night to an almost-full dining room, and private party being set up in the back. Our server was quick and friendly, equipped with a tablet to take our orders efficiently. They have a decent list of classic cocktails and craft brews. To eat, we got the chicken and waffles and the crispy chicken sandwich. The waffles were super fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They were delicious, especially with the syrup. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The crispy chicken sandwich was much like the chicken I had on my plate. I would definitely return in the near future. read more

Went to this location twice within last year. My biggest issue is that even if I scheduled a reservation, the hostess has to remind us that we only have a specific time frame because she has the spaced reserved for others. It's happen the two times I been here. Imagine going here for the first time and feeling like you better eat quick coz there going to throw you out the tables are reserved. Making reservation the next time to be told the same thing. Main reason I didn't give it a higher score and have not been back. Other than that, the food was delicious and the drink were great. The music and ambience were good. The waitress was nice and friendly. read more

So glad I finally got to try the Bronx Public. I ordered via Seamless and my food came in no time. I got the vegan chopped cheese which was so good! It was a decent sized portion and you could barely notice it wasn't real meat. The show stopper was definitely the rosé donuts which I highly recommend! I'm a big donut person, so I was so pleased with this! read more

This place is pretty lively when we went for the first time. Everything followed Covid-19 safety guidelines from disposable plates and utensils to waiters/workers wearing masks. Food was nothing special but still good. Homemade biscuits- warm and fluffy with honey butter Wish the butter was room temperature to make it easier to spread Dirty fries- fries with chipotle crema, pick de gallo, queso fresco and a side of guac Crispy fries with tons of flavor mixed in Garlic chili cauliflower- lightly fried cauliflower with garlic chili sauce, sesame seeds and scallions Very tasty you can hardly tell it is cauliflower Chicken and waffles- herb breaded chicken with homemade waffles, powdered sugar, and maple syrup Very normal dish, nothing crazy Overall a average experience, unfortunately there's a time limit during brunch time and the water tasted really bad like it had mold in it. Would not be coming back Food - 7/10 Cleanliness - 6/10 Staff - 9/10 read more

I had horrible experience here. I walked in on happy hour actually 30 minutes before happy hour finished which should still be happy hour but in this economy, they're trying to get whatever money they can because a few drinks and wings during happy hour. Remind you, it was $300. read more
