I came here for brunch and was treated to the best Mac and cheese I've had in New York. Creamy and bubbling, the dish comes to your table in a cast iron pan. I also ordered an entree (which was delicious), but I couldnt get enough of the Mac and cheese.
Also, the drinks were surprisingly delicious. I had a boozy coffee drink that gave me the perfect buzz. Would definitely recommend coming here. Be prepared to wait, but know that it's worth it.
OMG THE DUCK WINGSSSSSS
ok ok i'll calm down here.
Came to the Brooklyn Star on a Saturday night around 8pm no reservations but was seated within 10 minutes! Started with the biscuits which were perfectly warmed and served with butter and honey on the side YUMMMM. Next had the fried brussel sprouts OMG cooked perfectly nice and crispy and chopped up like a salad. Next we had the Spicy fried duck wings which I had read about previously and omg THEY WERE SO GOOD, the meat fell right off the bone and the sauce made with ground chili, honey, Coca Cola, fried garlic. Last but not least the roasted chicken was also cooked to perfection, and a HUGE portion could split between 2-3 people for sure.
I loved the atmosphere, and they serve family style which was nice. The service was also so good and waiter super attentive. I would definately recommend if you are in the area.
I think this may be my favorite brunch in Brooklyn. That's saying a lot, because Brooklyn is basically made for brunching. And to deem one the best…well, that's not something I take lightly.
Since everyone seems to agree with me here, I'll just offer up some suggestions: The flapjacks are sinful, and the chicken n waffles are the holy grail of bread + bird. And the cinnamon roll is an absolute must, it's so sugary and delicious that I walked out with a childlike grin on my face.
Now I just need to go for dinner, where I'm sure everything is just as good.
Food: We came for brunch and I have one word for this place "Amazing!" We ordered the shrimp and grits and also the pork chops. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the grits was also. The pork chop was nice and thin, very tender and the breading was amazing.
The decor is very chill and laid back and the staff friendly. This is my new brunch spot for sure.
Brew: Great beers and cocktails, something for everyone.
Winner winner chicken dinner!!! Yeahhhh boy!!
Come here with friends and get the family dinner with succulent fried chicken and a plethora of endless big portion sides. You will not regret it.
Can't decide between biscuits or corn bread? Get both. Can't decide between regular cornbread or jalapeño cornbread? Get both. Can't decide between white or dark meat? They give you both. There is nothing you will want more after having this meal. Aside from the great fried chicken, there is Mac n cheese, mash potatoes and gravy, collard greens, black beans, cole slaw… It is endless. You think you have that extra stomach to pull you through this meal, but it's almost impossible. It's too much food but happily accept the challenge.
Eat here. Period.
ahhh… food is on point here; I don't even know where to begin. We started off with the cornbread and mac n' cheese to share along with some cocktails and beers.
I've been here a few times and both times had wonderful experiences (except the wait time of course). Service is excellent, food is delish, and drinks were on point. Their country fried steak is cooked perfectly; super tender and juicy; also big enough to share.
I'd def. come back here again when I'm out in the area!
Dear Yelp gods,
Thank you for letting me find this place on a random Saturday night. I was in the mood for the best eats in town and this place exceeding my palate's expectations. Amen!
Suggestions: Everyone at the table order these things and share amongst each other. Portions are generous.
-The Mac and cheese– probably the best I've ever had! baked to perfection, cheesy, and flavorful. You can definitely share this with 2-3 people
-Spicy Duck wings– Duck really tasted like a more tender chicken, 7 drumsticks pieces which are huge, the sauce on the wings were mind-blowing (like maybe sweet and sour plus hot sauce?!)
-The biscuits– 3 in each basket, I usually love Red Lobster's biscuits (laced with crack), BUT THIS ONE will put Red Lobster's biscuits to shame. The butter melted on top of the hot biscuits added to the savory taste.
-Meatloaf sandwich–COLOSSIAL in size, had multiple ingredients in the sammich, taste was on point.
-Cornbread with jalapeños and bacon bits- nice size, amazing when hot and freshly brought to the table.
-The MAC AND CHEESE–oh I've already mentioned it already right?? Well worth mentioning again. You can't go wrong with this and spicy duck wings!
-The kool-aid is also legit! It's like authentic kool-aid, made by what appears to me by a southern woman named Mabel (or at least it should be because it's so damn good). We all ordered two, some of us brought shots of bacardi and mixed it!
Bill for 6 people which also included cocktails, the spicy chili (which wasn't that good so I don't recommend it), came up to $170!
Follow my suggestions and you can't go wrong..this place blows minds!
A brunchtime mecca that's surely always going to be a madhouse as long as they're doling out food this good. Yes, the wait time is a bit of a bummer. But all that angst will fade away the minute you're presented with a steaming skillet of homemade bacon mac & cheese. A HUGE skillet for that matter, which can definitely be shared, and is crazily reasonably prices.
The vibe in here is cozy hipster chic, with lots of wood paneling and drinks served up in mason jars. And it's one of those menus that will leave you flummoxed about what to choose, and immediately anxious to come back to sample even more of the offerings.
