Josephine SonSeptember 14, 2014Fun little casual spot in EV. Drinks are good, especially the watermelon gimlet. Get the brisket jerky, shrimp chips and charcuterie platter. Next time I gotta try the fried duck & waffle!
M TFebruary 26, 2015Beans/rice and ribs are amazing! Wings are ok but you could pass on it. Their beignets are perfect sugar puffs. FYI it's fairly small. #eastvillage #foodie #french #nyc #nomnom #foodporn #delicious
Mary Ann Dizon RementillaOctober 24, 2017My favorite neighborhood joint. LOVE the beef short ribs, mussels in chili oil & chicken wings. The food are deliciously messy so maybe not ideal for 1st dates but ideal for everything else.
Smoked Brisket Hash is hearty and delicious and great to split between two people. Get the pumpkin waffle as well to satisfy that sweet tooth!
Katherine ChiuJune 3, 2015Goat neck rice, jerk chicken, and the roasted duck salad were perfect. Delicious cocktails too. They have a projector that screens old school movies onto the back wall. Would come back for sure!
Big WittApril 9, 2017I had they wings i kept hearing about, they lived up to hype very juicy not overcooked well marinated loved it so much i ordered it twice , i have to come back & try the brisket
John WmsonOctober 17, 2014One of the best. Check their "Bites" menu for the Deez Nuts - highly recommended. Their Red Beans ‘n Rice are exceptional... true Southern cooking and perhaps the best to be found here in NYC.
Kimmie OhhDecember 8, 2019Come here on Brisket Tuesdays! Also come here for the goat neck. They serve whole smoked hare, whole smoked pig & New England clambakes when you order one-week in advance.
Tim CernigliaJanuary 15, 2016This Eatery means serious business. Transparently sourced local ingredients designed and prepared by people who are obviously excited about real, good food. Bone marrow & oysters, Goat neck, Brisket:)
CarolineJune 15, 2015Goat's neck curry... There are no words so just stuff your face with it and fall in love. The ribs were also delicious. Great service, too. If in doubt, ask what they recommend.
We ordered about half the menu, and though everything was great, the Smoked Duck (small plate) & Red Beans ‘N Rice (w/ smoked lamb breast + seasoned coconut rice) definitely stood out as the tastiest.
Georgia LuddeckeOctober 21, 2018The goat neck was fantastic. I was a little turned off by how slow the service was, but will likely be coming back either for the goat neck or to try the smoked watermelon
AlexMay 21, 2016crispy pig ear salad and pickles are so good. yakamein soup was delicious and interesting. cornbread was so fluffy.
Bin YangFebruary 20, 2016Smoke mussels, okra to start, then share the smoke whole goat neck (moist, fatty yet not overbearingly so, falls off the bone), served over moist coconut rice and a mild yellow curry.
Serious EatsMarch 14, 2013Though some of the Asian fusion food here is a bit overwrought, small plates like chicken wings, house pickles, and crispy pig's ears are worth sharing.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzDecember 30, 2014Good cocktails, great meats : pig ears, super fatty brisket sandwich and ribs... Lots of food, but totally worth it :)
Andy RosenbergApril 13, 2015Great food, great music, great service. First timers should go with the pickles, chicken wings, Goat's Neck, and beignets in that order.
- DoubleDeuceAugust 25, 2015Tremendous food flavors. Very spicy corn. Delicious pickle jar. Wonderful wings. Cozy--with a little bit of rambunctiousness--atmosphere. Duck'n delicious. Haha.
Meg FarmerApril 30, 2015Love this chill spot in the east village. Good beer, good eats. Go for pig ears for sure. Jerky is also tasty, but on the spicy side.
Melissa D.December 1, 2013Delicious. Not a word I use lightly but from charred head-on shrimp, duck salad, to wings or even their sole dessert of beignets it rang true. Eat here. Often.
Matthew CaldecuttApril 10, 2016There are more meats on the dinner menu, but the pumpkin waffle with fried duck and a side of bacon more than makes up for it.
Cole KennedyJuly 8, 2019Good place to hang with a few beers and eat on the sidewalk patio when it’s nice out, or inside at the bar when it’s not.
Mario MarquesJanuary 11, 2015I loved this place, The food, music and everything. But they didn t give me a table just because I was alone. 5 tables were available for almost 2 hours. I ate at the bat. Make reservations. 6.
David HuDecember 5, 2014Goat neck is the way to go here. Amazing. Mussels also great choice for starter
Alison MJuly 19, 2013Happy Hour best bet! Oysters and cheap beer/wine. For a few weeks in the summer they have crawfish! Don't miss out! July is the month
Tian XieFebruary 24, 2013Its like Southern tapas with a small degree of Asian fusion. Get the ribs, you'll be glad you did.
Jessica FerrucciOctober 9, 2013An unexpectedly amazing spot. Tasty good paired with great drinks. I came by on a Monday night and was pleasantly surprised by live music!
Christina DucruetOctober 14, 2012Complex cocktails and clever menu make for an adventurous dinner to share with friends. Get the white buffalo to drink and try the pigs ear. Delicious!
Amaury TouchyourTrililiApril 7, 2018Chicken wings were real good wings. Meat platter was great!! The rice and beans so so. Great fried artichoke you should share.
Alyxa LeaseOctober 13, 2014Pumpkin waffles aren't just seasonal here people! You also may get a cavity but it'd be worth it.
Giovanni D'PalmaJune 15, 2015Wow! The goat curry was out of this world. Must try! The ribs are also excellent.
Leah SchallerApril 4, 2015Goat neck was delicious! Something I wouldn't normally order - but so glad I did! Really want to return to try the brisket
Graphic AgencyNovember 28, 2013Chef Will Horowitz's turkey double down is a thing of beauty: roasted bird meat piled between two latkes, along with cornbread-oyster stuffing, gravy and huckleberry jam.
AliciaMay 20, 2014Watermelon gimlet is a must in the summer. There will be a round two and round three of drinks, I can guarantee that.
Kev SkinnyAugust 13, 2014Special drinks...ehhh. but load up on small plates any you wont be sorry. Wings and pig ear lettuce wraps are a fucking must try.
Marideny TavarezJanuary 3, 2016They have a goats head on the menu 😯. My fave was the crispy pig ears. Very spicy but so delicious.
mich sungJanuary 7, 2014Goats neck is incredible - very rich, share it with your friends or else you'll run out of room to try the other stuff.
Aileen ChuFebruary 16, 2013Order the crispy pig's eat and smoked duck salad. It's tapas style but after you try it, you may not be in the sharing mood.
Jason O'BrienNovember 20, 2014Wonderful service, awesome food. I can't stress it enough. Also, the bone marrow was AWESOME.
ºDamian White ºAugust 17, 2013They serve the Lobster Benedict with the claws. These guys know what's up!

My favorite neighborhood spot is even better on Brisket Tuesdays. Don't miss out.
Frances SSeptember 7, 2012Pigs Ears lettuce wraps and brisket jerky...yum!! Watermelon gimlet (switched gin for vodka) with lavender, also amazing.
if you're here for brunch, get the trout. fresh, flavorful with a heaping pile of fried hash browns.
