    Huevos rancheros
    Chantal S.

    O M G! If you are looking for some good food come here!! I was blown away with the flavor of everything I ate here. I left so full and so satisfied , you could roll me out of there. To start off , their turmeric, ginger juice was so beautiful and tasted so delicious. Then I had the briscuit biscuits and omgg they were sooooo flavorful. It was so delicious . The hashbrowns complimented it so well, and came with a sort of aioli sauce that was perfection. My husband had the huevos rancheros and they were very good as well ! I can't wait to head to the beach to eat here again!

    spicy sausage breakfast burrito

    Stopped by for breakfast burritos and YUMMM. There's a choice of vegetarian, bacon, or spicy sausage. I did the spicy sausage and added some of the Caribbean Hot sauce. It gave it a nice extra kick :) This stand opens at 8am everyday and I'll be sure to stop by again soon for breakfast and/or lunch.

    Jerk chicken and sauteed greens

    Cool outdoor place on smith st serving mostly jerk chicken. I got the 1/2 chicken and sauteed greens. Both were very good with generous portions. Hot sauce was also tasty. Will be back.

    I almost don't want anyone to know how great this place is. We stumbled upon this spot just walking around and saw this chill vibe of the back yard and decided to give it a shot. My hubby had the jerk chicken tacos & I had the red bean & feta tacos (minus the feta bc Im vegan) with a side of rice & peas and it was all AMAZING! We met Alan (the owner or chef ?) Who was very zen & chill and welcoming. We can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu! What a gem!

    New look. New vibe. Super cool spot. You can now enter the Airstream and listen to music. Watch a game on the flatscreen. Came for a drink on a chill weeknight before I ordered dinner to take home. The food currently offered is Mexican and we were super happy. Great overall authentic.

    Was excited when I saw this pop up. The closest jerk chicken around here is 5th Avenue in park slope and it's an expensive Restaurant that charges close to $30 for jerk chicken. Got the 1/2 chicken and it was quite good. Served with a side of what I was told was jerk sauce but tasted more like hot sauce. was very good- more vinegar base than traditional jerk sauce though but I'm not the jerk police (or am I?). I did drink the remaining sauce if that tells you anything. Wouldn't mind the chicken a bit spicier but I thought it was very solid and saves me the trip of going to prospect lefferts gardens or crown heights for the well known jerk spots. Will go back and try sides next time and the soup.

    See all

    The chicken was amazing. Juicy. Flavor-packed. Cooked like somebody in the kitchen still has…read morestandards and a little bit of pride. Every bite hit. Tender inside. Nicely charred where it needed to be. The kind of chicken that makes you pause mid-chew and point at the plate like, okay, now hold on. The beans were killer. Full flavor. Rich. Comforting. Not an afterthought hiding in the corner of the tray pretending to matter. These had real presence. The kind of side dish that starts acting like it pays rent. Deeply satisfying. Very much giving do not overlook me, sweetheart. And the rice? Stand up. Seriously. The rice came in with backup dancer status and somehow turned into co-lead. Fluffy. Well-seasoned. Actually worth eating on its own, which is rare because a lot of restaurant rice just be there for emotional support. This rice had purpose. This rice had ambition. Service kept things moving and the whole place felt easy to enjoy. No extra drama. Just good food doing what it was supposed to do. The atmosphere had that low-key, no-nonsense energy where people clearly came to eat first and talk later. Exactly the kind of mood a chicken spot should have. it's giving... every member of the group project unexpectedly pulled their weight.

Very flavorful and juicy... the green sauce was EVERYTHING!!!!! I put on my chicken and veggies. Made a 10 star meal turn into a 100 star meal...lemonade was sweet and flavorful just how I like it. Very satisfied with my random visit to the Chicken Stop. My only regret is that I don't live closer. I will definitely visit when I'm in the area.

We got the 9 piece with their not hot sauce and garlic ginger aioli on the side. The extra sauce was delicious but the wings didn't need it! So crispy, perfectly flavored and not too sweet, good to the last drop. Each one was huge!! You only need 3-4 for a full meal in my opinion. The cornbread was fluffy, the mac was solid too but the wings are really the standout. Pretty reasonably priced too for all the food you're getting. Definitely give it a try!

    Knocked another off that's been on my list for awhile and it was... underwhelming. For a fusion…read morerestaurant, I'm not getting a lot of fusion. I ordered the Banh Mi because it was my compelled responsibility as a Vietnamese person but it was a technical stretch. Like all of their other items I tried, the fried chicken itself relies on other ingredients for flavor. I honestly forgot it was there everytime I bit into it. While some of their other chicken items are crunchy, this one gets soft and lost and in the crowd. The bread was not the soft craggly bread that's signature to Banh mis, and that's not so bad, but their bread was a very unique doughier texture. It was even paler. It was an interesting choice. What stood out that technically makes it a Banh mi for me is the pate. It was good and generous enough that I can taste it with every bite. Because I'm dating a Taiwanese woman, I also ordered the popcorn chicken. It was a light coating, not the crunchy craggly kind. Again-- no flavor in the chicken itself. Chicken bits is a more accurate description to me. And finally I order the wings with the cilantro lime sauce. The wing size itself is big and plump. No flavor but the texture was very crispy without feeling greasy. I ate some immediately and had some the next day-- the texture stayed-- minus the parts sitting in the pool of sauce but that's expected. I think the sauce was ok, kind of your standard sweet citrusy glaze. My experience was mid. Maybe it fills a need for the neighborhood.
