Burgers are great, so is the mac & cheese.
Tasha NicoleJanuary 2, 2012
Make sure to get there before 4pm or after 5pm so you miss the dinner turnover when the kitchen is closed.

Eclectic crowd and happy hour deals

The burger to bun ratio is off, too much bun not enough burger. Also if you ask for medium it will be well done, way too dry.

Kale salad, wings and mac n cheez. Please and thanks.

I've been to Black Swan over the past 3 years—unfortunately this is my last time. It just isn't what it used to be. Food is meh now and Bloody Mary's are a sad shadow of what they once were.

This place is a gem! Get a Bloody Swan and anything with salmon. Yumz

On the brunch menu, the lemon waffles and fried chicken is a refined Dixie dream. Can't believe food like this exists in Bedstuy. Bout time!

Was expecting great things after reading all of the reviews, but left disappointed. Had the burger and it was maybe one of the worst I've had for a while. Sweet potato fries were pretty gross too.

If you order the grits ask for them to be topped off with cheddar cheese. Yum!
Simon CharlowMay 25, 2010
Cheap drafts. Burger is kind of ish. Had a great special tonight: pulled pork sliders. Music is inoffensive but not great. Still: go, go, go. We need this place and more like it.
