MetroFocusFebruary 1, 2012They’re offering 4 different Super Bowl trays for takeout including a batch of 40 Buffalo wings and bacon mac n’ cheese for 12. Find other NYC spots to spend your Super Bowl Sunday on MetroFocus. Read more
NathanMarch 20, 2015Ignore the "small" and "big" -- it's "big" and "bigger." Get the mac n' cheese and the country fried steak, you can start your diet tomorrow.
There are delicious specials. The brunch menu is amazing. The staff are fantastic. Warm atmosphere.
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.
Justin CanettiOctober 19, 2016Brunch here is great. Everything is good. Get there at noon when they open if you don't want to wait
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.
Gentrifried ChickenNovember 6, 2011Serious southern cooking here. If you're not getting the meatloaf sandwich then stop by for the fried chicken dinner served every Sun and Mon. Hopefully lives up to their old brunch recipe (pictured.) Read more
Vinod KrishnamurthyApril 25, 2015Had the prime rib eye steak! Wonderful to share and really amazing!😊
Audrey SheppardApril 10, 2016Mac and cheese is DELICIOUS. The biscuits are the best I've had in NYC... almost better than in Texas!
Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015Love the country fried steak. Served with mashed potatoes, bacon and hot slaw.
Lara ZDecember 16, 2015The grilled broccoli salad was my favorite dish from our meal! The spicy margarita is also solid.
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.
If you’re super hungry, get the chicken fried steak, if you’re slightly less hungry, get the bacon mac.
Ella HaizlipOctober 26, 2011They have a family style rib dinner on Tues and Wed. Smoked Dr. Pepper pork ribs are served with choice of house sides and a rotating pickle plate, for $25 per guest (3-guest min).
Food here is amazing. Try the duck wings and the quail. So tasty. Great for a quiet dinner.- Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015The buttermilk biscuits are so wonderful. The side order comes with 3. So worth getting and sharing.
Chicken. Waffles. Also dinner, if you don't make brunch, try the fresh-baked jalapeño corn bread.- Friendly service, delicious mac and cheese and great specials
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
Alyxa LeaseOctober 13, 2014Bone marrow and porkchop was a solid choice. Meatloaf might be an even better one.
- Gabriel HayesOctober 4, 2015Fun restaurant in Williamsburg. Delicious Southern Food with good beers and cocktails.
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.
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.
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
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
Serious EatsApril 17, 2013An original new spin on Southern cooking Brooklyn-style that continues to delight us.
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.
mich sungFebruary 12, 2012Get the cinnamon bun as a brunch appetizer! Highly recommend to split for two, because you'll wanna save space for the big meals.
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.
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.
Jake FochettaMarch 27, 2016Good fried chicken and waffles. They give you a very cool knife spoon for your grapefruit
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.
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.
Justin BartonMarch 23, 2014If you love meat like me, you will love this place. Interesting twist on common dishes
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Carlo Mirarchi, chef of Roberta's, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Fried pig tails. Read more
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.
Cade WallaceOctober 10, 2011country fried steak is amazing. huge portion. add in some biscuits and you've got yourself a big, delicious, true southern meal.
DamonJanuary 7, 2013Cornbread with bacon and jalapeños, brussels sprouts, tripe chili with Fritos. Bring friends to help.
amooliaFebruary 7, 2012Get their jalapeno and bacon cornbread- THE BEST. Big plates are ginormous. Come here hungry and by hungry I mean STARVING.
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)
Katie FlynnJanuary 5, 2012Order with a friend and split the brussels sprouts, chicken wings, and the meatloaf sandwich. Killer comfort food!
