Yawdie is a must visit especially if you have a kid(s). The food is good and appeals to the kiddos. And the owner, Damian, is just a great human who is welcoming to all. I personally love the coconut shrimp and fried plantains here. My daughter loves the coconut shrimp too and the fries. If you know Flatbush Central then you know its spacious with lots of seating. However when it's busy, it's hard to find seating. I went early on the weekend and was able to find a table right in front of the stall. The sandwiches are a decent size but I highly recommend getting a whole "flight" to try different proteins; the musts are jerk chicken and coconut shrimp. But there's also a vegetarian option and a jerk cheeseburger. The regular fries are great here but the sweet potato fries are even better! Something unique that is here is the jerk lemonade. A refreshing drink with a little kick. :) read more

Yawdie Q is a standout addition to Flatbush Central which is a Caribbean marketplace located on Caton Ave. Yawdie Q is being called the "Jamaican Shake Shack" around town and I came here to agree. This spot focuses on gourmet Jamaican sliders, and every single one delivered on flavor. The jerk chicken, fried chicken, coconut shrimp, and jerk cheeseburger (my personal favorite) each had their own personality, with bold seasoning and great textures. The plantain fries were a true highlight for me, they were crispy, never dry, and easily something I'd travel from Queens just to get again. The jerk lemonade was another hit, bringing a spicy, peppery kick that tied everything together. I was also able to try an off-menu Rum & Craisins sorbet topped with sweet and salty peanuts, which added a refreshing, unexpected finish to the meal. Between the quality of the food, the chill vibe, and the great music, Yawdie Q is absolutely worth the visit. This is the kind of place you settle into and genuinely don't want to leave because of the service, the music and just overall vibes. read more

Had lunch at Yawdie and was plenty surprised. I went for the jerk and coconut shrimp chicken sandwich's, paired with a jerk lemonade. The jerk chicken was moist and flavored well. The coconut shrimp was cooked to perfection. What stood out to me moist was the jerk lemonade. Very unique and refreshing. Overall, customer service was welcoming. Highly recommended! read more

They're located in a well-lit mall, and have a nice shack with a seating area. I tried their slider sampler. The sliders were neat little sandwiches with small patties and shredded carrots, with different sauces on the top and bottom. They were delicious, though at $7 each they felt a bit overpriced for their very small size. Jerk lemonade for $5 was too sweet, but pleasantly spicy. Service was prompt and attentive, and they even gave me free fries and aioli while I waited for my large group order. Good experience overall. read more

Aka the Jamaican shake shack. Yawdie Q is serving elevated Jamaican flavors in an American style. Located in the Flatbush Caribbean market. Their menu has something for everybody. I recommend the Jerk lemonade, fried plantains, and coconut shrimp slider. Besides that the food is really good and innovative. The space is decorated really nice to represent their Caribbean heritage and the service was on point. They do a good job at making you feel at home. read more

If you're looking for bold Caribbean flavors in a bite-sized form, Yawdie Q is the spot! They're serving up jerk chicken sliders, coconut shrimp sliders, and my personal favorite the fried plantain. Now, what I loved about the plantain is that even though it was battered, the breading didn't overpower its natural sweetness--it was the perfect balance of crispy and caramelized goodness! And don't sleep on the drinks! Their jerk lemonade is giving spicy margarita vibes with a Caribbean twist. The perfect way to cool down while still keeping the heat! If you're craving Caribbean with a creative twist, Yawdie Q is a must-try Check out more of my reviews on IG & TikTok @butteronaroll_ read more

Yawdie is such a lovely restaurant. Every time I stop by the owner comes out to chat with us. Last time, he even shared a vegan ice cream that he made with us from ingredients in his garden, which was absolutely amazing! My go to order is the coconut shrimp slider and fries, with the jerk lemonade. The food has always been delicious, perfectly fried with a great balance of flavors, and the jerk lemonade is so refreshing with a little kick! I'll be back again and again. read more

Fun unique food stand in the central market serving fun sliders such as jerk chicken, fried chicken shrimp , veggie and burger so something for everyone. My favorite are the plantain fries. Service is friendly and ambiance is cute. read more

Was in the area for a graduation and wanted to try something different for lunch since my sons go to is always mcdonald's lol. Found them on yelp and the photos looked great. The host was very nice, gave us the run down on everything including his favs. I went with the jerk chicken slider and tried his recommendation of the cheeseburger slider. both were delicious. fresh. the fries...fresh! we played a little dominoes while waiting (which wasn't long) . We also tried the jerk lemonade. I know...what the heck?! but lol it was actually really good. too much kick for my dad and son but I loved it. drank the whole bottle lol. worth a try if you like things with a little spice! Will definitely be back next time i'm in town. Just a note, it's in a food hall type area so you can't see it from the road! read more

Yawdie Q is located in an intimate food hall that has a nice selection of vendors. Yawdie has the most unique flavors of Caribbean dishes and drinks. The lemonade was delicious, it's a must try iMO. The shrimp slider was well seasoned giving it that island vibe. The gentleman working the register was extremely pleasant and helpful. Give this place a try if you are in the Brooklyn area. read more

5 stars for coconut shrimp which is the standout best I've ever had. It's huge, both crispy and juicy, just absolutely perfect. Everything else is pretty decent. The chicken is a bit on the dry and healthy side instead of greasy, which I like. Every meat order comes with slaw and sauce. read more

Walked into the marketplace with my heart set on eating at the next store stop Bunnan, but Yawdie Q caught my foodie eye. They had no reviews so I've decided to be the first one! I ordered 3 sliders along side an order of fried jerk chicken w/ fries. My sliders were the 1) Cheeseburger slider 2) Coconut Shrimp 3) Fried Jerk Chicken Slider. [Fried Jerk Chicken Slider] Personally this particular slider didn't really taste like anything new to me and I wish it had more JERK flavor but it was still a decent slider nonetheless. [Coconut Shrimp Slider] I love shrimp! So this slider I really enjoyed, I wish they gave more shrimp and less slaw but the flavor of the shrimp was really good! I'd order it again. [Cheeseburger Slider] I can see someone enjoying this slider, but personally it was not my cup of tea. The bread was really soggy from the slaw and again so much slaw! It was taking away from the flavor of the burger, but the slider itself is a good concept, unfortunately I just did not like it. [Fried Jerk Chicken w/ fries] Bought this for someone, and was able to try the chicken, it was mutually agreed that the chicken was lacking in Jerk flavor and was stringy and dry, it left us trying to figure out if it was pork or chicken (it was chicken) but I am foodie to the core and I crave intense flavors this item just wasn't doing it for me. To conclude, my favorite item was definitely the coconut shrimp sliders. Yawdie Q has great potential, especially since they've gotten such good feedback and haven't been open for that long. I hope with this critique they can make some changes with certain items, but everything was enjoyable to eat at the end of the day. I would come here again if I happened to be in the area and craving this kind of food. Thank you to the gentleman that was helping us with our order and being very kind and fun to talk too! read more

I had the unexpected pleasure of trying Yawdie at a pop-up shop this weekend at the Other half brewery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I had both the Jerk Chicken and Jerk Cheeseburger sliders! The flavors were absolutely delicious and authentic! The jerk seasoning is bold and addictive! I have to admit that the burger was my favorite. The jerk lemonade was also surprisingly incredible. I am looking forward to experiencing the full menu at the flagship location sooner than later! read more

So I came to get food from another spot inside of Flatbush Central (stay-tuned for that reveiw). While waiting, I walked around to see whatever spots my foodie heard would love. I came across Damian at Yawdie. He offered me some food. Let me just say, I am about to be in my foodie place. I had a jerk chicken slider, plantain sticks, and jerk lemonade. I bit into the jerk slider and my tastebuds did a happy dance. It was well seasoned. Exactky what I expect from anyone making West Indian based food. The plantain stick (which is not even on the menu but ABSOLUTELY needs to be) was different but delicious. The plantain is delish. It goes well with the mayo aioli sauce that they pair it with. The jerk lemonade is so tasty. I definitely will be back! Grab your friends and come check them out. The space that ther are is jamming. The ambiance is Afro-Carib and absolutely inviting. read more

Incredible place. Very friendly staff and some of the best coconut shrimp I've had in maybe my life. The house Aioli is . Stop through for a slider on your way to/from the park. You won't regret it. read more

I think everything on the menu is delicious. There isn't an excessive wait and the staff are attentive. Pricing is fair and I hope it stays that way. read more

This gem is amazingly divine! I had the sliders trio, plantain, and jerk lemon-ade! When I tell you this was a 10/10! The fried chicken slider, jerk chicken, and coconut shrimp are fan favorites for a reason. If you're in the area - even if you're not you owe it to your taste buds to come on and try this place out! read more

The food at Yawdie-Q is absolutely fantastic I am so fortunate that I stumbled upon this restaurant because the men is dynamic & full of flavors that are unexpected yet invigorating. I'm definitely coming back here to sample the entire menu. Additionally the proprietor Damien is supremely friendly and knowledgeable. Just a refreshing personality. read more

I ordered via DoorDash, food was amazing! Highly recommend and I'm definitely reordering. My only feedback, you are charging $2.50 for extra sauce and the container is so small and the amount of sauce is enough for one French fry dip. Please either lower the cost of the sauce to match the amount you're serving or add more sauce the containers. Thank you! read more

I wish I'd taken pictures but DAMMMN this meal was SO GOOD. I had the coconut shrimp sliders and fried plantains (a weekend special) and they were both INCREDIBLE. 12/10 recommend. The Jerk Lemon-ade is a 13/10 - so good, so refreshing and with the perfect amount of kick. AND THEN the coconut ice cream with the plantain. Get outta here. 50/10 - sooooo good. The service was amazing, they're so kind! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

If I could, I would order their shrimp sliders EVERYDAY. I stopped by a few weeks ago and they were closing, but the guy at the register was so warm and friendly and he gave me a free Jerk Lemonade. That was brilliant marketing on his part because the drink and the menu were on my mind weeks later. So I finally stopped in and ordered the jerk slider (pretty good), a shrimp slider, a jerk lemonade, and the owner blessed me with some plantain sticks (good). The shrimp sliders stole the show. They were coconut shrimp sliders and you could taste the true essence of the coconut - so authentic. The shrimp were also perfectly sized jumbo shrimp that wasn't that imitation nonsense. And the slaw and sauce that sat atop the shrimp was the perfect addition. After I ordered there, I looked to see if they were on DoorDash - and lo and behold they are. So naturally today I ordered three shrimp sliders and I can't wait to be back for more! read more

Service was impeccable the owner (we thought because he was so knowledgeable and kind) was unbelievable, explained in detail what we should order and why. He even gave us samples of the coffee ice cream. Everything was delicious- we got the jerk cheeseburger, plantain fries and coconut shrimp. That cheeseburger though!! FIRE. And the vibe of the place was super welcoming and you can tell this is a community spot. 10/10 will be back. read more

Bought the cheese burger slider and fries, and it was so tasty. Whatever seasoning they put on the fries just kicked it up a notch. I will return to try the other food on the menu. Will recommend this restaurant. Food is excellent. Must try. read more

This place is gonna be a break out star! The plantain strips are breaded and served with the most delicious dairy-free jerk slaw. The owner of the business, Damien, was kind and informative and helped me as a vegan understand the menu.

The ambiance is date friendly in a Caribbeean market surrounded about pleasant vendors. read more
