Great rotisserie chicken. I have it with mac&cheese and corn. Never fails. Friendly staff. Very enjoyable atmosphere. Great place to eat once in Williamsburg.
All that slow, home cooking done ahead of time so it's real fast for you. Sit inside and watch passersby on Bedford or grab and go. Really good bang for your buck meat and potatoes kind of food.
Katja K. OšljakJanuary 4, 2015Taste of the home cooked meal: beef ribs, slow cooked pork, sweet or mashed potatoes, gravy, spinach and coleslaw + delicious Greenpoint beer. I will be back:)
AnthonyMarch 17, 2016Unexpectedly delicious southern home cooking. Best deal: $24 for a whole chicken and three large sides. Get the Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and collard greens.
Lance LacoffJanuary 18, 2015Delicious homemade dishes (rotisserie chicken, slow roasted pork, etc) and sides that won't disappoint (mashed potatoes, spinach, corn, etc). Greenpoint beers on tap.
Krista marie ImusOctober 25, 2016Drinks specials are great! This is what 2 xlarge beers and a large sangria looks like!
Nick UrsiakApril 30, 2017The pre made crock pot styled meals allows for instant home style food to go with large portions at a decent price. Meatloaf all the way!
Yami AlonsoJuly 6, 2016Excellent southern cooking at an affordable price - fresh home cooked style. Must try!
Adela MouAugust 6, 2014Great comfort food for super reasonable prices. Get the pulled pork and Mac and cheese!
Get their meatloaf with beans and okra as your two sides - if in the mood for carbs go for the Mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The famous Peter's Since 1969 in Brooklyn (and now Manhattan) started as a butcher shop run by a man named Peter. But it was another man who turned it into the restaurant it is today.
David SloneJanuary 27, 2011Ask for the schug. It's a great middle-eastern chili condiment that they serve with some of the brunch items, but it's a great way to add excitement to pretty much everything on the menu!
Gauri ManglikMarch 31, 2012Thought I wouldn't have much to eat bc it's known for its chicken..but I've never had such tasty mashed potatoes, green beans, and mac and cheese. cc @sarahlensing (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Simone ZifferDecember 6, 2014Awesome! the food is really delicious! and its taste is natural! I love Peter's!!!
Kevin GillespieMay 25, 2010i love this place. the dinner menu is great. the staff is friendly and bosomy. although i can honestly say i HATE the skillet breakfast. i hate it like i hate bee stings. stay away from it, dogg
Joey DellatteFebruary 19, 2015Recommended to everyone who want to experience American cuisine (good and cheap)
The lunch specials, starting at $7, quarter piece of chicken, two sides and a soup. meatloaf, beef stew, sausages are a dollar more. highly recommend the meatloaf.
Meatloaf, short ribs of beef - all the homemade sides!
Sit at the window bar on a busy night and try to figure out if you're watching them or they're watching you
Best greens this side of the Mason-Dixon! Okra-collard green heaven. And beer.
Sit-down food without the sit-down wait or price. The Le Creuset red pots hold wholesome hearty goodness that might remind you of a home long gone.
Slow-cooked pork, rotisserie chicken, heck EVERYTHING IS GOOD. Tastes just like home cooking!
Jeremy GalenJuly 16, 2012BEST comfort food in the tri-state area and they're also a Mirth member!
Tilman BeneckeFebruary 9, 2017For 10 Dollars a great tasting entree plus soup and two sides?! Much obliged!
Steve MesidorAugust 25, 2013The winning combo is short ribs, sweet mash and collard greens.... trust me!
Jules HughanJune 18, 2012Check out the homemade meatloaf with two sides. It might even be better than my Mum's and that is saying something.
- Home style cooking in giant portions. Take half home.
Sarah LensingDecember 19, 2011amazing beef stew. go to place for a hearty, delicious meal (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Roadify AppMay 21, 2011Get a seat by the window in the front and watch the people go by. And report any buses u see too!
Ashley RamboMarch 23, 2010Peters Since 19something-good! Bedford and 9th.. Great home cooking! Just had the meatloaf.. Yep, Peters has me eating meat again... ITS ALL PETERES!
- Awesome homemade soups on a cold winter's day or night!
Alex NiedermanJune 5, 2010They have a cherry tree in the garden! You can pick them and eat the cherries during your meal!
