Great service (thanks, Liz)! Go for the regular old fashioned, the endive or kale salad, and the Mac and cheese sans bacon. Ax#

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.

Brunch here is great. Everything is good. Get there at noon when they open if you don't want to wait

Meatloaf Sandwich, jalapeño &a bacon cornbread, and bacon Mac & cheese
Denise CozierSeptember 7, 2014
Loved the duck wings, fried pig tails and mac n cheese. The cornbread was good but not the best i've ever had.

Serious 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

Had the prime rib eye steak! Wonderful to share and really amazing!😊

Love the country fried steak. Served with mashed potatoes, bacon and hot slaw.

Mac and cheese is DELICIOUS. The biscuits are the best I've had in NYC... almost better than in Texas!
Lara ZDecember 16, 2015
The grilled broccoli salad was my favorite dish from our meal! The spicy margarita is also solid.

Here'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.

They 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.

The 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.

Bone marrow and porkchop was a solid choice. Meatloaf might be an even better one.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013
The food is heavy and indulgent, the dark and romantic dining room invites lingering, and “Big” dishes are, in fact, big. Read more

Fun restaurant in Williamsburg. Delicious Southern Food with good beers and cocktails.
Peter ShumJanuary 12, 2016
The biscuits are divine. Great place to share a bunch of items on the menu. Best part is this place isn't super packed.

Winner 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.

Hot 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, 2015
Come 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, 2016
Man and Cheese is delightful. I loved the fried green tomatoes and the biscuits were divine

An original new spin on Southern cooking Brooklyn-style that continues to delight us.

Cinnamon bun, meatloaf, best fried chicken, kale salad...everything gets 5 stars!
Andrew Del-ColleJanuary 20, 2014
How, 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, 2012
Get the cinnamon bun as a brunch appetizer! Highly recommend to split for two, because you'll wanna save space for the big meals.
Jake FochettaMarch 27, 2016
Good fried chicken and waffles. They give you a very cool knife spoon for your grapefruit
Neil SolomonFebruary 26, 2013
Come on Sunday or Monday and get the fried chicken family dinner. Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had.
Jennifer WeiJuly 10, 2013

Order Lonestars and try to solve the puzzles before your chicken fried steak arrives.
Veyote DaeganMarch 20, 2016
Fried chicken and waffles (during weekend brunch only) are out of this universe.
Erin H.April 19, 2017
I 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, 2014
If you love meat like me, you will love this place. Interesting twist on common dishes

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, 2011
country fried steak is amazing. huge portion. add in some biscuits and you've got yourself a big, delicious, true southern meal.
Nikki WegnerJanuary 18, 2017
Cauliflower is to die for! Everyone the menu is awesome!

Cornbread with bacon and jalapeños, brussels sprouts, tripe chili with Fritos. Bring friends to help.
Sead EmmOctober 8, 2016
Chicken and waffles, old fashioned, you could even have them together.
amooliaFebruary 7, 2012
Get their jalapeno and bacon cornbread- THE BEST. Big plates are ginormous. Come here hungry and by hungry I mean STARVING.

Good fried chicken dinner served family style with a reservation (although we didn't need one on a Sunday night)
Lee SimpsonNovember 16, 2014
If you're here after 9pm try the Meatloaf sandwich and the Mac'n'Cheese - epic end to the night.
