Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014This hopping Prospect Heights café and social club features snacks and filling soups at lunch, and more ambitious sit-down meals at suppertime. Best dish: curried liver and onions. Read more
XboxBrooklyn KinnectOctober 20, 2013Very nice cozy spot with great food and value for your money. Definitely a bookmarked spot in the hood and the service is if you were home. Can't go wrong.
CarolynMarch 7, 2015The pork belly with grits was good, as was the fried chicken sandwich. Portions are actual portion sizes here, so if you're starving keep that in mind.
StephanMay 15, 2017This is very much underrated. If you ever sick and in needed of a good chicken soup check out their soup. Delicious. Honestly this place really grew on me.
the short rib special on tuesdays is spectacular! ask for their pepper sauce and sprinkle lightly over rice! try a sweet and hearty corn cinammon soup called chicheme
Matthew JohnsonJanuary 27, 2014Please try the calypso shrimp. It is truly amazing. I had it with yellow rice.

Sam GilDecember 11, 2016Oxtail is definitely favorite dinner but the chicken soup is so so good on a cold day.
Andrew KimJuly 24, 2014Oxtail is tender and tasteful. Did not disappoint. Service is outstanding as well.
Gayle AlexanderMay 6, 2016Bartender was terrible. I was choking and coughing and my friends asked for water they ignored us.. Terrible bar service we were there for 2 hrs to celebrate cinco de mayo very sad
Dave kAugust 20, 2016Bad food. Worse service. Possibly my worst restaurant experience in BK. Don't ruin your night. Go somewhere else unless you enjoy being ignored and served overcooked, flavorless shoe leather.

"Never had a bad meal there! Portions are generous. The mofongo is spiced just right. Loved the oxtail stew I had - the meat was melt-in-your-mouth. Good place to take a group."
Deb Wunder - 9.1
"Try the Chef's Steak -it hits the table with an expertly charred crust, the interior marbled & juicy. Served with a smoky salsa verde and caramelized onion-spiked mashed sweet potatoes."
