the fried chicken is great. other tasty dishes- oysters, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. don't let the long wait scare you aware. sit by the bar, have a drink and order some hushpuppies.

Cocktails, wellfleet oysters, veggie burgers and kids menu to keep the kids - quiet. Hooked up with Uber for 10% visa Uber credits. Top experience

Great for brunch, though it gets pretty crowded by 11. Banana walnut sticky bun is delicious - and feels deceptively light!

not a fan of fried food but, the buttermilk fried chicken over cheddar waffles was pretty good. nice ambiance and attentive staff. If you can handle it, order a Paper Moon cocktail. impressive!

How good is their weekend brunch? Well, it opens at 10am. This is the line at 9:45. That good.

There's usually a wait, but it's worth it. If you don't have a large party, try your luck at the bar for an open spot.
Richard RevillaAugust 19, 2014
Amazing food. Try the Chicken and Waffles. Very kid friendly and great service.
Ankireina DjumalaOctober 18, 2012
The fried chicken is completely overrated. But the pecan pie sundae IS TO DIE FOR!!! Ordered the fried chicken and the mussels. But highlight of my meal is definitely the pecan pie sundae!

Beyonce ate here a couple weeks ago which means cue the "urban" crowd and even longer wait times. Delicious food and good service so well worth it.
Jarid KeminkAugust 10, 2015
Fried pork chop and their homemade pickles are my go to menu items! But seriously everything is great here.
Joseph MarchettiJanuary 11, 2016
So good we had to come back again. Fried chicken and waffles. Also the pecan pie Sunday is a must have!
Juan CriadoMarch 4, 2013
The fried chicken and cheddar waffles are incredible... Its just an explosion of flavor... Unbelievable... The Sundae for dessert is also scrumptious!!!

seems like every thing is delicious so far everything I've ever tried is absolutely amazing
jake furstJuly 11, 2011
the roasted chicken for two (only on Sunday nights) is comfort food as it should be. it also answers Napoleon's question definitively: chickens do NOT have large talons.
Alexander RomanOctober 26, 2013
The star of the sea (bloody mary w/ a freshly shucked oyster) was delicious and a perfect way to start off brunch.
Catherine AndreJanuary 2, 2018
Delicious brunch, had oysters, avocado toast and ABC sandwich, all of them to die for
Ah Young KimAugust 14, 2012
Pecan pie sundae is really tasty if it had a little more vanilla ice cream and less pie. Get it as part of the $25 prix-fixe on Mondays!
Joanna FlammMay 19, 2011
Really exceptional food, service, atmosphere. One of my favorite "New Brooklyn" restaurants, hands down. Duck meatloaf and pecan pie sundae are both killer.
Ashley ChristianoJuly 14, 2014
Short Rib Hash is amazing! Worth the wait we had just to sit, and then the wait for food after we ordered.
Gianna NebbiaJanuary 21, 2018
The French toast is unbelievable. Really great Bloodys too
Nilay GandhiJuly 12, 2019
Possibly the best pancakes I've had in Brooklyn
Mary JasenMay 28, 2017
Great place, but today no fried chicken. Walked a one to get there, people were the best. Will return!
Jesse LaneSeptember 24, 2018
Not much of a sweet breakfast person, but the pecan pie French toast looked too good to pass up....and did not disappoint.
New York HabitatMay 7, 2012
Great place for brunch! Don’t come here starving though- it can take a while to be seated. But it’s definitely worth the wait!
Rick ValenzuelaFebruary 1, 2015
Make sure you look to see if you have the vegetarian menu, we were confused that there was no fried chicken on the menu!
Amy WangApril 17, 2021
Fried chicken and pancakes so decadent
Jeanne LaddJune 9, 2012
Vegetarians take note: the court street Bloody Mary has meat in the garnish. An unexpected an unwelcome surprise!
Village VoiceAugust 13, 2010
Try the brown butter, corn, and mushroom linguine-auced in a rich slurry of brown butter and corn milk, which pools at the bottom of the plate, where it's soaked up by feathery chanterelles.
Kev SkinnyJuly 17, 2014
This place is excellent. Brooklyn standards 9/10...rest of the country standards 11/10. Service was pretty slow, but food and drink were worth the wait.

There's a reason there's a line outside for brunch. Definitely worth the wait!
Chris BruceDecember 22, 2017
The fried chicken and cheddar waffle (with balsamic/maple syrup) is out if this world
Mark HimmelsbachMay 12, 2013
Yes, the chicken and waffle and duck meat loaf are fantastic. Don't sleep on the bacon almonds to start.
Randy SimmonsMay 15, 2010
Wow. This place is stellar. Brook trout and duck meatloaf were both spectacular. Chicken liver pate with cherries is a must if u have a taste for it. This could be a regular stop.
Brian MooreMarch 15, 2012
My favorite: make your partner order the pancakes (delicious), and you order the hash (best I've had). Split and enjoy.
The FeastJune 1, 2011
The restaurant signatures are fried chicken and savory cheddar waffles. Drench the plate with maple syrup and order the pecan pie sundae for dessert. [Definitive Fried Chicken List] Read more

Simply everything is delicious. Even simple scrambled egg dish was quite awesome!
Frank RimalovskiJanuary 11, 2019
The chicken & waffles was great! Everything else was just ok to good. Great setting and service.
Dmitry SpikhalskiyJanuary 4, 2016
Buttermilk chicken is delicious and uncommon. One of the best places in NY.
Ms. CoxOctober 24, 2016
Ps if you dont like your french toast too sweet don't order. This is more like cake. The cheddar waffles are the next best thing for you!!

If you can only order one thing from their menu, you MUST get the pecan pie sundae. It's happiness in a glass. Cozy atmosphere and great staff - one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn.
Stacy ScibettaJune 1, 2012
Great food. Wait staff accommodating. Lousy bar service-a bit on the uppity side-no need for that. Please acknowledge your patrons for without us you'd not be able to pay your rent! Loud atmosphere.

You gotta do a short stack for the table along with the strawberry jelly donuts. Oh, and the short rib hash is a monster. Mmm!
AndreaOctober 1, 2011
Pancakes, eggs and pecan waffles are delicious. Pork chop looked good. Remember to get your free mimosa or Bellini @brunch. The waiters won't ask you about it.
Kathy LiuJanuary 8, 2016
The biscuits here are ridiculously good, and come with sweet jam and melted butter. 👍🏼

Very busy for Sunday brunch. Make a reservation or get there early. Buttermilk short stack TOTALLY worth it.
Naeem IshaqFebruary 19, 2017
Heavenly. Must try he pancakes and biscuits!

In creating the menu for Brooklyn’s Buttermilk Channel, Doug Crowell worked with designer Gabriele Wilson to develop a graphic mascot for the restaurant that evokes a sense of history.

Pretty much everything - this is a go-to for out-of-town guests

Dog-friendly! They are chill about your dog being next to you outside as long as the dog is on the other side of the barrier. Duck meatloaf is awesome.
