    Strawberry Shortcake desert is awesome! It includes vanilla bean whipped cream YUUUUUM! A server brought out some BBQ shrimp that smelled great too. Will try on my next visit.

    Heavy Woods has the most mouth-watering chicken biscuits in all of Bushwick. Constructed with hand-made pepper jelly, cilantro, and Maldon sea salt, they go well with whiskey. Read more

    Chef Simin Glenn's Tchoup Shop serves up some serious New Orleans flavors with a bit of Indochina influence. Start with the pork cracklin. "Beaner" pic attached. Eggs over pork rice and beans.

    Boudain balls amazing ✅ gumbo very creole rather than cajun (free cup w/ entree via yelp)✅ chicken biscuit very savory had to use a fork n knife ✅ I just wish there was more light so I could see food

    When the music is bumpin' this place is the TITS. Good brunch from what I hear. Great happy hour from what I know. Crawfish mac is very good as is the jambalaya, biscuit, & deviled egg (lol).

    Absolutely MUST try the chicken biscuit sandwich. A bigger snack but needs a side of making it a meal. The Crackin are better once they cool down a little but are still delicious!

    Gumbo, Jambalaya and te sausage! The chicken biscuit is good but too sweet for us. One of our favourite places in Brooklyn so far.

    Sausage gravy on a greah biscuit is to die for, and don’t get me started on this pecan bread pudding

    The chicken biscuit will stick to your ribs (and make you stronger). They sometimes show sports on their TVs, so beware (or get there early if that's your thing).

    If you see the Chicken Nuggets on special, get ‘em. Only $7 and hella Nugz.

    Cheap, delicious food and good beer list. Definitely stop by if in the area. $6 for rice, beans, bacon, sausage - can't beat it.

    Well-picked rotating selection of draft microbrews. Get here early if you are rolling with a crew. Seating is limited and the space, while nicely decorated, is small.

    Good happy hour and a good brunch spot. The New Orleans style dishes are just right after a rough night of boozing.

    Order the chicken biscuit. It's the absolute best I've ever had. It's the Drake of biscuits. It's a good grill and you know it.

    No longer cash only. Bring all of your cards and enjoy booze at night and coffee during the day.

    Bar by night, attractive, rustic, light-filled coffee shop by day, Bushwick's Heavy Woods gets its moniker from the Dutch name for this area back in the day. Cafe Grumpy coffee. Read more

    Huge fan of Tschoup Shop's deviled eggs 👌... although pretty much everything else is tastey, too.

    The chocolate caramel walnut pie is delectable. Staff is friendly but a bit spacey.

    The mulled wine & whiskey is excellent in the colder months. Warm, thick, spiced, delicious.

    Great cocktails but a little pricey! If you are on a budget get the beer/shot $5 combo! Can't go wrong either way!

    It's a bar, it has drink specials, and not a ridiculous card minimum. All is well.
