Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015Love the country fried steak. Served with mashed potatoes, bacon and hot slaw.
Justin CanettiOctober 19, 2016Brunch here is great. Everything is good. Get there at noon when they open if you don't want to wait
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the addictive fried pig tails, deep-fried to order and coated with a sticky sauce made from the sweet-savory braising reduction. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
There are delicious specials. The brunch menu is amazing. The staff are fantastic. Warm atmosphere.
Peter ShumJanuary 12, 2016The biscuits are divine. Great place to share a bunch of items on the menu. Best part is this place isn't super packed.
RickOctober 1, 2013Hot meatloaf sandwich rocks. Bartenders are great. Solid bar. No TV though so if you plan on watching sports head to Brooklyn Whiskey
If you’re super hungry, get the chicken fried steak, if you’re slightly less hungry, get the bacon mac.
Skyler DobinFebruary 9, 2015Solid brunch spot. Chicken and waffles: A+. Same goes for the donuts dessert.
Kale salad is amazing even for those who love fried chicken. Fried chicken and chicken wings are amaze even for those who like salad. Mac n cheese duh.
Lara ZDecember 16, 2015The grilled broccoli salad was my favorite dish from our meal! The spicy margarita is also solid.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Go ahead and drink the Kool-Aid. No, really. The electric-red drink is offered at this Williamsburg restaurant that's imbued with a Southern, cheffy sensibility. Read more
- Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015The buttermilk biscuits are so wonderful. The side order comes with 3. So worth getting and sharing.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013The food is heavy and indulgent, the dark and romantic dining room invites lingering, and “Big” dishes are, in fact, big. Read more
Vinod KrishnamurthyApril 25, 2015Had the prime rib eye steak! Wonderful to share and really amazing!😊
Zack FrancioseAugust 9, 2014If you get lucky enough to catch them when they do popup food stands at music festivals or other community events, they'll be making fried chicken waffle cones, get one or several.
Chicken. Waffles. Also dinner, if you don't make brunch, try the fresh-baked jalapeño corn bread.
Jennifer WeiJuly 10, 2013loved the steak with mash potatoes. Happy hour drinks were solid plussss $1 oyster specials. needless to say I was all over that.
Zack DavenportAugust 5, 2014Here's what you do: Take the delicious bacon jalapeño cornbread, slice it in half, and plop on a massive piece of fried chicken.
Food here is amazing. Try the duck wings and the quail. So tasty. Great for a quiet dinner.
Alyxa LeaseOctober 13, 2014Bone marrow and porkchop was a solid choice. Meatloaf might be an even better one.
Zahrah FadelJanuary 16, 2016Huge portions, which is good because you'll want more of everything. Get the mac n cheese and chili to share, they're both super rich.
ᴡᴡᴡ.Graham.linodxz.ru DavisAugust 20, 2014Good fried chicken dinner served family style with a reservation (although we didn't need one on a Sunday night)
Alexandre StanislawskiNovember 1, 2015Come a bit before the opening to get a seat at the Sunday brunch. People are waiting in line to enter at noon.
Nadia H.VJune 3, 2016Man and Cheese is delightful. I loved the fried green tomatoes and the biscuits were divine- Friendly service, delicious mac and cheese and great specials
Audrey SheppardApril 10, 2016Mac and cheese is DELICIOUS. The biscuits are the best I've had in NYC... almost better than in Texas!
Denise CozierSeptember 7, 2014Loved the duck wings, fried pig tails and mac n cheese. The cornbread was good but not the best i've ever had.
Erin H.April 19, 2017I want to love this place, I used to love this place- to the point that I suggested it for a friends bday meal. We had a great start but the meal and subsequent exp. left a sour taste - poor mgmt.- Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015Fun restaurant in Williamsburg. Delicious Southern Food with good beers and cocktails.
Mike JacobsonJune 30, 20151. Fried chicken (in my NYC top 3) 😍😍😍 2. Duck wings 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼3. Mac n cheese 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 4. Watermelon salad 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Order Lonestars and try to solve the puzzles before your chicken fried steak arrives.
Veyote DaeganMarch 20, 2016Fried chicken and waffles (during weekend brunch only) are out of this universe.
Justin BartonMarch 23, 2014If you love meat like me, you will love this place. Interesting twist on common dishes
Bone marrow, cornbread, mac 'n' cheese, pork chop, chocolate bread pudding, Kool-Aid cocktails. Skip the dr. pepper ribs--generic, not very Dr. Pepper-y.
ConnieDecember 8, 2014Cinnamon bun, meatloaf, best fried chicken, kale salad...everything gets 5 stars!
Andrew Del-ColleJanuary 20, 2014How, how, how did I not know they have a $1 oyster happy hour here? The Beau Soleils, though small, have no grit and are perfectly sweet. I'll take six more.
Katie FlynnJanuary 5, 2012Order with a friend and split the brussels sprouts, chicken wings, and the meatloaf sandwich. Killer comfort food!
Jake FochettaMarch 27, 2016Good fried chicken and waffles. They give you a very cool knife spoon for your grapefruit
Mara LecocqOctober 25, 2014Hearty menu. Good stuff but always more on the heavy side. Really nice vibe though.
Neil SolomonFebruary 26, 2013Come on Sunday or Monday and get the fried chicken family dinner. Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had.
DietrichJuly 2, 2012portions are huge! so be hungry. and dont miss the fantastic cornbread with jalapeño and bacon!- Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Use of Velveeta in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Wash the Velveeta and sharp white cheddar mac with a Dr. Pepper cocktail.
Serious EatsApril 17, 2013An original new spin on Southern cooking Brooklyn-style that continues to delight us.- Lee SimpsonNovember 16, 2014If you're here after 9pm try the Meatloaf sandwich and the Mac'n'Cheese - epic end to the night.
Chet ManciniJuly 15, 2013Meatloaf sandwich is great value--super tasty with the spicy chips and enormous.
The only place I know that forces me to eat a giant bowl of brussel sprouts to myself. They are that good. Also, meatloaf sandwich.
