    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.

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.

Orders are made at the register as soon as you walk in, even for dine-in orders. I ordered grilled chicken with yellow rice and red beans and a side of sweet plaintains. The chicken was those flat, paper thin strips with grill marks all over. It was tender but not very flavorful. The yellow rice was good and the beans were fine. The sweet plaintains were the best part of my meal. They were cooked nice and brown and they weren't mushy at all. I asked for hot sauce. I was given a cold bottle of hot sauce from the fridge. The dipping sauce helped to give the chicken a little zing. Chicken Stop is a narrowly built restaurant with decent seating, dim lighting and fake grass walls. There was a large, flat-screen TV hanging from the fake grass wall, showing the news. The satellite music was an awful mix of soft rock and country/western. Menu prices are reasonable. I have business in that area now. I'll be dining at Chicken Stop again.

The chicken was fried perfectly; it crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. The portions are generous, and although I paid almost $30 for dinner with rice, I still had enough left over for another meal. It's definitely pricier than many of the more affordable spots around Chinatown, but they're serving a more niche menu rather than the usual dumplings, noodles, or Chinese BBQ, so I think the price is justified. They also accept cards, which is convenient compared with some other spots in the neighborhood that are cash-only. The main reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the service. There was some miscommunication with the staff, my drinks were brought to another table, and they almost did the same with my food before I signaled that it was mine. The tables also weren't the cleanest and could've used a quick wipe-down between guests. That said, the restaurant is very small, probably only 10-12 seats, so space is definitely limited. Despite the service issues, I really enjoyed the food and would come back. If you're looking for something different from the typical Chinatown offerings, Peking House is definitely worth trying!

    Raising Cane's keeps its concept incredibly simple, focusing almost entirely on chicken tenders,…read morefries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and its signature sauce. I walked into a bright, clean, and energetic restaurant with a fast-paced atmosphere that reflects how popular the chain has become. Even with a line forming at the counter, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the operation felt well organized considering the volume of customers coming through the door. I went with one of the tender combos, which is really the reason most people come here in the first place. The chicken tenders were juicy, freshly cooked, and had a crispy coating that held up well without feeling overly heavy. The coating had a good crunch that stayed intact through the meal, and the chicken itself was moist and tender throughout. The real standout, though, is the Cane's Sauce. It adds a tangy, peppery flavor that works perfectly with the chicken and honestly ties the entire meal together. Between the tenders, crinkle-cut fries, and Texas toast, it is a simple meal, but one that is executed consistently well. The toast is buttery and soft, and the fries are solid enough to hold their own alongside the main event. One thing I have noticed is that the chicken can occasionally feel a little greasy depending on the visit, especially if you are ordering a larger combo. For some people that may not be an issue at all, while others might find it sits a bit heavy afterward. That has varied from visit to visit, but it is worth mentioning because the meal is definitely on the richer side compared to some other fast food chicken options. The coleslaw provides a lighter contrast, though it is a fairly standard version of the side and does not stand out the way the chicken and sauce do. The staff during my visit were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was well maintained. Food came out quickly, and despite the limited menu, there is something refreshing about a place that focuses on doing one thing rather than trying to offer dozens of different options. The simplicity of the menu makes the decision process easy, and the consistency of the meal across visits is a big part of the appeal. Raising Cane's delivers a satisfying chicken tender meal with quality chicken, a great signature sauce, and consistently solid sides. It may not be the lightest meal around, but when you are in the mood for crispy chicken tenders and a straightforward comfort-food combo, it is easy to see why so many people keep coming back. The meal is familiar, filling, and hits the right notes for what it sets out to do.

The bartender informed me that she would come over shortly. Apparently, she was serving drinks and taking customer orders at the table. My order was finally placed and I was able to enjoy my meal and satisfied my craving. The music playing in the restaurant is always good. There are about 10 small table for groups of two people. However, there is plenty of picnic style outdoor seating for those who like to dine outdoors. Other than the long wait, my experience was good.
