While waiting for dinner at a friend’s house, I decided to stop by The Frog, where I knew another friend was enjoying a lively pool (billiards) night. It turned out to be a great decision—we both had a wonderful time sipping organic wine and beer while meeting fellow neighborhood regulars. The food looked very appealing, but I had to pass since I had dinner plans later. I definitely made a mental note to come back and try it next time. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the rel

Hip, low-key haunt with craft beer & seasonal cocktails, plus darts, games on TV & trivia nights.
My buddy and I wanted to play some darts. We suck at darts. We walked into Moot and there was a league dart game going on. We instantly thought a couple of dart schlubs like us wouldn't be the most welcome on league night. We couldn't have been more wrong. Every single person in the bar was friendly and enthusiastic that more folks wanted to play darts. They let use the practice board with the house darts and we had a great time. This is exactly the type of neighborhood bar you want on every cor

I luckily stumbled upon this place - and what a gem! Live Irish music, great staff, amazing Happy Hour (until 8pm!), and an absolutely *delicious* short rib dish on the menu (just get it, you’ll thank me later). Will definitely be back!

Yeah, finger licking indeed, I saw the head chef pick his nose and then lick his fingers. And he wasn't nice about it either, I've never seen a man shove 3 fingers in his mouth, and my poor daughter had to witness it all. But the egusi didn't have a morsel of sand in it. Best egussy I've ever had in my life, despite the previously described experience. Peace and love to the nation, I'm out.

I’ve been going to this location for years. There’s this young lady in there I believe she is the manager. She is beyond exceptional. I always have issues with papa John’s locations but this one never disappoints. She truly doesn’t let me leave out her store without satisfaction. Whenever I have a problem with others stores and I come to her she jumps on it to fix the problem. On top of that the pizzas are made like they can be on a commercial. She needs extreme acknowledgment. If you guys want

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Flat Out Burger and indulging in their mouthwatering spicy smash burger and fries. Let me just say, it was an experience to remember. The clean and modern establishment immediately caught my eye as I walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and I felt right at home from the moment I sat down. The customer service was top-notch - attentive and friendly staff made sure every need was met with a smile. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - t

This place is legendary. I wanted to give it the classic rating of 3.5 to signal that it’s the classic Chinese American restaurant but I just can’t give less than 5 stars because it’s so damn good. Huge portions and good prices. Owners if you read this, please don’t change this formula because that’s why I will keep coming back. Super fast service and crazy tasty food. Oh I wanna tell everyone, I love my girl, Georgia, thank you for eating with me!

I hosted my birthday party/goodbye NYC party here, we did an open bar for 2 hours. The vibes were great and the backyard space was INCREDIBLE. I had around 50 guests and the place was completely to ourselves. It was perfect for an intimate party and we really got to use the backyard space which was amazing for a sunny spring day in nyc. Definitely a hidden gem in Brooklyn. The owner was responsive and made sure the party went smoothly. Only thing was that for my party of 50 there was one barten

Trust me if I could get this place is 0 it will be a zero. I stopped going here a long time ago pick up food for me because he was being nice he went here and what they gave him was what he did not want to not only that they chose to give the smallest chicken wings as you can see in the picture after paying so much money we asked her ketchup and they put that sweet sauce there's no salt and pepper this place is trash all honesty.

I’ve been coming to this cafe for years, it’s truly a gem! It’s a great spot to sit and get work done, or take a short break in their peaceful backyard. Their sandwiches are great, and coffee never disappoints. The owner is kind, welcoming, and makes the space feel warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

What a find. This fairly small casual restaurant has Indian street foods, dessert treats and delicious drinks. We had Chop (a croquette of spiced potatoes) and Phuchka (small deep fried shells filled with chickpeas, potatoes & onions) and a salad. All were outstanding. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The next morning we had to come back to try their lattes and got a rose pistachio pastry to go. Definitely will return.

Brown & Butter Creamery has some of the best gelato I’ve had in the area. One piece of constructive feedback relates to the owner’s interactions with customers. Over several visits, I noticed instances where customers of color greeted her and received little or no response, while white customers were met with noticeably warmer and more engaged conversation shortly afterward. I didn’t think much of it at first, but after hearing others share similar observations, it became difficult to ignore.

I just order a large order of more than $50! I paid $10 for shrimp lobster sauce and small rice. Come to find out, they are extremely cheap and sent me a tiny bit of white rice. For reference it is smaller than my small Vaseline and smaller than my hand. I called and told them I did not receive my regular small rice and was sent a tiny portion instead. They said I would have to pay extra for correct amount I was supposed to get!! The driver even kept my changed! I will never order from here agai

Delicious food, sunny window, no rush, friendly staff. It felt homey in there and it’s clearly a beloved neighborhood spot. They would say hello to passersby and chat up neighbors. I got Papi’s Fried Chuleta. Got a good portion that had a nicely crisp pork cutlet that, while a tad dry, was packed with flavor. There was a good rice portion in the center, a small side salad, and a cup of hearty soup. Not sure why, but to be nice, they also gave me the extra treat of sweet plantains. I absolutely a

As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I’ve lived in Brooklyn (and Manhattan) long enough to know that when you find a spot you genuinely love, you hold onto it. Luci’s Cafe on Bedford has become that place for me. I originally wandered in after a yoga class looking for coffee. The coffee was excellent, so I came back. Then I came back again. And again. At this point, I’m there almost every day, whether it’s for a coffee, my daily fresh-squeezed watermelon juice, a breakfast burrito, or lunch. Lazaro

Enjoyed many a night dancing here, I think the energy here is unmatched. Don’t let the size of it fool you, it’s a gem run by absolutely lovely bartenders, always such a good vibe. I find that the DJs who play here are so talented and there are times when the floor is empty and I don’t even comprehend how or why because the music is so good and the DJing is so talented. Do yourself a favor and check out Jade, you might find your new favorite DJ. Drinks are also very yummy and affordable.

I ordered the oyster happy hour special, then the bartender brought my receipt and said “the chef isn’t here yet, it will be about 15 minutes.” That’s information you give someone before charging them, not after. The oysters tasted very off and we didn’t finish them. Gorgeous ambiance, I won’t order food and won’t expect good service if I go again

Should you go out of your way to come here? Probably not. Should you come here if you live in the area? Definitely yes. Excellent value for what you’re paying for, and the food was prepared super fast. Even ”small” portions represent 2 meals for a person with typical appetite. I was especially surprised by the chicken skewers, as they were a bit juicier than I am used to eating at other similar places. Be prepared to pay in cash if you are ordering at the window.

Chun Vegetarian in Brooklyn has become one of my favorite spots, and one of the main reasons for that is their Buddha Bowl. It’s one of those dishes that I can keep coming back to without ever getting tired of it. Whenever I want something that’s hearty, fresh, and still feels good for my body, this is exactly what I order. The Buddha Bowl is a colorful mix that hits all the right notes. It usually comes packed with kale, spinach, sweet potato, avocado, carrots, cherry tomatoes, quinoa, and fre

Just came back from the restaurant and I feel so content and happy. I am not really into fine dining because a lot of the time it can get too intellectual, but I feel Dept. of Culture really made it experiential. The food is very good, I can feel the culture, the identity and the love in the food. I love Chef Ayo spend time explaining the dish, the culture and sharing his personal stories. He is not only a chef but an artist! This is a very unique, culturally and wholesome experience I had in NY

Everything was so delicious! Oxtail Jerk Mac pockets are my favorite & were literally packed with so much flavor! That seafood mac and cheese had the perfect amount of lobster and shrimp with the perfect cheese pull, noodles was actually seasoned and for a small it can easily serve 2 people! Definitely recommend!!!

Great set up to sit on the sidewalk, enjoy some great jerk and watch the master work his smoker! Recommend. I’ll be going back

I’ve loved this coffee shop for years. Today, while I was getting my coffee, a woman walked in with a dog and I was honestly a bit over it. A few seconds later, she left and that’s when I noticed the “No Pets Allowed” sign. It’s not that I hate dogs at all; it’s the lack of consideration from some owners who don’t think about people with allergies or fears. Seeing that sign made me appreciate this place even more. Great coffee and respect for everyone always a win.

I recently had an amazing Korean food experience that truly hit every craving. We started with the Japchae (D), and it was absolutely delicious. The glass noodles were perfectly chewy, lightly sweet, and tossed beautifully with vegetables. It had that classic balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors that makes japchae so comforting. The Bulgogi (beef) was incredibly flavorful. The beef was tender, well-marinated, and grilled just right. It had that perfect smoky-sweet taste that makes bulg

Sometimes I’m like “hm I should go vegetarian” and then I have a meal like this and I take it right back! Took pics because I knew it’d be good… Had no clue what I had in store. They were out of jerk chicken and curry chicken, so I got the stew chicken. THANK GOD. Chicken was soooooo good, so soft, so buttery. Rice & beans I swallowed in heaving spoonfuls. The plantains??? Oh my god, soft, some a tad crispy, sweet perfection. The first of many trips

The drinks were strong, the vibes were interesting. If you’re easily overstimulated, this is not the place for you. Was there when the outdoor area wasn’t open, and inside was loud and dark and strange. It’s not meant to be a typical bar, they had vintage videos playing in the back room which were definitely R rated. I recommend this place if you’re wanting a unique night out that you won’t forget, with good drinks, and maybe some funny stories about the weird bar you went to in Brooklyn!

I love the jerk chicken meal with rice and peas, I usually get the small which is only $12 and it’s packed to the brim! This is my go to Jamaican spot in my area, plus good prices for the amount of food you get! Also love the Rasta pasta and the tropical rhythms sorrel drink. I usually order the last hour they’re open and they always still have the items I order. I will say sometimes the food tastes different depending on the day. Friendly and quick service too!

Review: Disappointing Experience – Barely Any Vegetables Rating: ⭐★☆☆ (1/5) Location: Wah Sing — 143 Rockaway Ave #5, Brooklyn, NY 11233 I was really hoping for a solid neighborhood meal, but this vegetable fried rice fell pretty flat. * Where are the veggies? For an order specifically called vegetable fried rice, there are almost no actual vegetables in it. It’s mostly just a massive box of yellow rice mixed with a few translucent onions and sparse pieces of cabbage. It feels incredibly cheap.

10/10! Super friendly staff and everything was delicious. I went in anticipating oxtails but they were out, so I opted for jerk chicken, Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Literally the most flavorful rice and peas I’ve ever had! Mac was tasty and well seasoned and the jerk chicken was the perfect blend of tang and spice. I looked forward to having leftovers but ate the entire plate in one sitting. Will definitely be back :))

I love Dunkin’, but they really need to do something about this branch. It has the slowest service ever. Even though there are enough workers, sometimes only one employee stays at the cashier. Both the customers and workers move like snails, as if everything is happening in slow motion. They take forever. I’ve been there six times, and only once was I able to place my order without getting frustrated watching the slow interaction between the cashier and customers.

The store was filled with Telfar and many other unique pieces. The actual sitting/work area is very tiny so we sat outside. My latte was delicious and her Americano was nice.

From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly welcoming, patient, and genuinely kind. She made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it and had such a positive attitude the entire time. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only efficient but also truly sweet and attentive. Kaylee went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable, and it honestly made my day. Chip

I called the store spoke with a rep and was told I’d received 2 new Philly cheesesteaks from there driver. Currently waiting and will delete this review when I receive correct order.

The cafe is a 20 min walk from my place and it’s well worth the trek. I would typically walk over with my dog, so it gave him a chance to sniff along the way.

Everything arrived looking fine, but the flavor was completely missing.The wings were dry and bland, the fries tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, and the fried shrimp had no seasoning whatsoever. Even the sauces couldn't save it. My family kept adding salt and dipping sauce just to make it edible.For nearly $40, this was one of the most disappointing takeout meals I've had in a long time.
