This was one of the worst decisions to eat at. The service was horrible, and the waiters have an attitude. The food is bad and overpriced and has barely any options. Overall sucks, would not recommend. read more

Went here with the family and it was amazing the decor of the place is really cool and the food is really really good, the server was nice. Just an FYI to see the menu you have to scan the QR code on the table which was also cool....DEFINITELY try the milkshakes they're to die for. This place gets 5 stars because the food and the milkshakes looks exactly how it looks on the menu. Go check it out read more

This place was the complete opposite of what I thought it was going to be. Food is way too overpriced and tasted like it was frozen . I also asked the waitress if our seat can be moved to the back and it was occupied by her kids . They also force a tip when you pay with card and the tip was way to much for the little service they offer. read more

Wanted to try after seeing milkshake posts on Instagram. Fiancé and I walked in about 7pm on Saturday and were immediately told they were closed. The young lady started ranting all the things they were out of like rice and steak.... Ummm ok. We said we didn't want dinner and another girl said oh you want milkshakes!!! No problem. Have a seat. She was certainly more friendly. I had the cookie tastic and my fiancé had cookies & cream. The shakes looked much better than they actually were. Kinda watery but they tasted ok. The glasses were decorated cute. read more

I would have to give this place 4 stars due to the fact it's a really small place and the bathroom was dirty. Other then that outside of the bathroom it was really clean. Me and my hubby got seated very quickly. The food is amazing & so is the shakes. I will definitely be coming back here w bae also it's a little expensive but worth it ! The food is really good. read more

The service here was terrible. I had to wait for an hour, just for them to tell me I couldn't be seated because they "paged" me but the hostess never did. Never coming here again. read more

Their food isn't bad. But definitely over priced basic fast meals besides their custom made milk shakes

Food was great , shakes were great . Staff needs to be trained a little better . Took forever for someone to come take our order . Brought the food before the shakes by the time shakes came our food was cold because we wanted to take a picture so we didn't touch our food . Should bring food all at once instead of one by one to a table . read more

Comming into the restaurant there was a smell of mold. One of the cashiers was eating pizza in the corner with another male from outside. I couldn't sit down any longer to eat. The place is nice but nooooo. read more

The place was very hot !!! The water and drinks they was giving out had no ice .. the food was ok ! I don't think I would have get a shack again . read more

Visiting Jenavies was on our to do list while being in NYC. We arrived at the establishment at 4:30pm only for them to tell us we had a 90 minute wait. We got back around 6:15pm and the table still wasn't available. We were finally seated at 6:30, I couldn't believe how small it was, and no one greeted us or took our order for about 15-20 minutes. When we started placing our order, they didn't have anything we asked for. When the food arrived, I was not impressed. Our food came out at different times, my sons meal was comped because she forgot to place the order. One set of the chicken wings were cold, they serve canned looking baby shrimp for the shrimp tacos, and no one told us there was a $2 up-charge for adding cake to the already $16 milkshakes. $192 later, that is a place I'll never visit again. read more

I went 11/03/2018 for my boyfriend's birthday with a party of 6. My boyfriend & I were late & they were very nice about allowing the rest of our party to wait at a table. Once we came & I called a waitress over we were able to order right away. My bf & I had the $50 big platter everything was great. I personally just found the chicken in the chicken tacos a little dry. We also had the bacon macaroni & cheese with the Oreo shake. I like that the shake wasn't overwhelming sweet. I would definitely come here again! We also got to meet Jenavies herself lol. read more

Long wait times, and they do not answer phones for reservations . Then when you write your turned away due to over capacity. Workers literally leave you outside waiting to order . Please don't believe the hype . I was really looking forward to visiting read more

Where's Gordon Ramsey When You Need Him?! This Place Looks Great On Instagram Hence Why I Went There But The Food TRASH, Decor Horrible, But The Milk Shakes Are Good. They Just Need To Be A Milkshake Spot if You're Lookin For Good Food and Milkshake Just Go To Manhattan and Go To Big Daddy's read more

We didn't get a greeting at the door. Not one person said hello or hi. The place is pretty small. They sat me in a very uncomfortable spot by the cashier. So through out the whole time there someone was over my head, which was annoying. Our food came out one item at a time not all together. I had to ask for condiments like ketchup and syrup. I literally waited to see how long it took for them to bring it to me but they didn't. The costumer service was poor. The milk shakes were good. But if you pay $2 for the cake just be advised that it's a store bought cheese cake and not very appetizing. read more

Wow! Definitely not impressed with the service, very tiny establishment. The set up is not comfortable, there is no waiting area, the time frame to get the food is about an hour or better. The service was not good at all, I waited about an 1hr 1/2 for milk shakes, and they do not serve the food at one time for the table, it's as if we all had a different time frame to eat at the same table. The food is mediocre..so the question is will I recommend this place or come back?.... ABSOLUTELY NOT.... read more

Don't even waste your time just because you saw picture of this cafe it doesn't describe the actually experience. The wait was about 1 hour and 30 mins. The cafe was over crowded, waiters don't pay attention to you or your order. Very pricey. read more

I first learned about this restaurant on Instagram, & based on all of the reviews, this restaurant seemed like a "No Brainer".. However upon the entering the establishment, my perception immediately changed. The place is basically a counter with a milkshake machine, and seating for guest. After we were seated, we waited ten minutes before I had to call over a staff member. The gentleman at proceeded to tell me that even though he couldn't take my order, someone would be with us shortly. At that same moment in time, the server was on her cell phone having a conversation, which was obviously more of a priority than the patrons in the restaurant . First and last time I visit this place. We ended up walking out, and heading down the street to Havana's Cafe where we know we'll be attended to. read more

The food is good the service is great the milkshakes are better we went there for my sons graduation dinner

This food was disgusting. So not worth it. A mutual friend of mine got her card scammed. EVERYTHING WAS SO EXPENSIVE.

Ok i enjoyed the food, wecwere a party of 5. i had the sweet chilli wings, mac n cheese and tostones. All food was tasty as well as the overwhelming milkshakes (epic) the thing i disliked was the service, they took forever to come and take our order. Asked did we need any sauces , we said what we wanted and was never brought. we ordered iced tea but were brung half and halfs, ordered a refill and was never brought but was added to the bill. Oh got to the table and there were used napkins in the napkin holder. Asked for the menu for the shakes and were told there are none u have to look at the screen at the desk.....we were seated in a cramped corner booth with any view blocked by a wall so she wanted us to all get up in this lil place and all go over and look at the tv to order a shake smh ordered the shakes by going to yelp and was asked before the meal or after should they be brung? We said after and were never brung till we were done eating along time ago so we just asked for em to go. We werent given our rice krispy treat either lol service needs alotttt of work and then it will be worth the price. Will return again read more

Jenavies Cafe - Menu - Latin American Near Me - Bronx, New York

I went yesterday to celebrate my sons birthday, and when i walked in, the place is very dreary! The oerson working the counter on 2/13 @ 6pm was very unprofessional! She took aboyt 15 minutes to even attempt to come to our table. I asked a customer how was the food, they said nasty!! We walked out, it wasn't worth the stay! Will never ever go back, will go to the store in Bay Plaza for the icecream!! Customer Service is everything, and the lady working on 2/13 @ 6pm had none!!! Ill spend my money elsewhere, and my son picked that place, he was very disappointed!! read more

At first the restaurant doesn't look like much until you are greeted by the sweetest servers. They initiate conversation that makes you feel comfortable and that this is the right place for you. The food was great, I recommend getting tthe buffalo chicken wings and french fries. The sliders that come on the platter were not that great, it just wasn't doing it for my taste buds. The french fries, I can't stress this enough, we're amazing. The Shakes were really good when they finally arrived to my table because there were only 2 workers on the floor and it took long to receive my shake. I paid $16 for a shake that came in a cup that could of been charged as a $12 shakes but the taste made up for the price. My friends and I ordered the platter that had 4 burgers ( sliders) 10 piece wings and french fries and it was $45. It was a little on the pricey side but we split the food and the cost and it was worth it. Our money was well spent and we went home with a full stomach. I recommend going to there with people you're comfortable with because eating gets messy and yea. It was a nice small establishment. And that's on food guru read more

Jenavies Cafe - Milkshake - Latin American Near Me - Bronx, New York

The shakes are basic. They taste like homemade shakes with the supermarket brand ice cream. Definitely not worth $16. The Mac and cheese was good doe. the table was dirty and the Shakes were disappointing read more

Small space but well positioned. Staff is kind and attentive. Milkshakes were really great. For food, we had curly fries, chicken wings, pastelillos, & sliders to share between us. The wings were fried to perfection and super yummy. Other than that, the food was good but not great. This place is quite pricey with our whole order coming in at just under $80 for two people. read more

The milkshakes were really good but something made me and my boyfriend had the runs. They are way to friendly. They wouldn't let us enjoy our food. The wings are good and they fries. read more

This place is amazing. The service and food was awesome. My kids and i loved it!! Best 1st experience ever!! Def coming back again. FYI. The Milkshakes are beyond the bomb. We had the xtreme cotton one. Delicious!! We went home very happy and full read more

I found this little spot on Instagram and the mouthwatering pictures definitely made me leave from Connecticut to the Bronx on a Monday afternoon! All I have to say is that the hype is real !!!! Everything was so fresh so flavorful I felt like each individual grain of rice was flavored. It was so delicious the staff was young lively and attentive. The place is very small intimate which makes for great service and attention I would recommend anyone to go here! We basically ordered a little bit of everything because we wanted to try all of the things that we saw on their social media page my brother got the steak and onions and I got porkchops we also got macaroni and cheese plane tans a Dominican Sliders rice and beans salad fried Plaintain's sweet Plaintain's. Everything was delicious even when we save some for the next day I would definitely recommend to anyone! The porkchops were so juicy not dry at all the meet was so tender you didn't need a knife and it seem like it was sitting in marinade for days keep up the great work! read more

I stop by to drink a coffee it was the best I had since forever. Good food and great drinks! I'll definitely be back for more. Really good cafe! read more

Terrible place. Food was over priced and bad quality, no to mention small, had to wait 15 mins outside to get in, then my and friends order 1 appetizer and two entree and some drink. came up to almost 50 for each person !! It looked and tasted like warmed up frozen food. Was digesting and not worth the money. Save your money and don't come here read more

Great place to eat love their food and they are so great at customer service always making sure we good and very polite. Every time I go there I always end up taking one of their very delicious milkshakes home cause always get to full to drink it at the restaurant lol read more

Chances are slim that I'd waste time or money there again. Came across this place when looking for somewhere to get dessert. Never made it to the location until today. The shakes look good, but not good enough for the price. A basic shake is $16. If you want the extra cookie or cake on top like in the pics, that's an extra $2 I was told. Opted to order regular food to go. Prices are a tad high all across the menu. Asked about delivery and was told they don't deliver but they are on uber eats. I indicated calling in an order for pickup and was told they won't take pickup orders on the weekends because they get too busy, but I could come in, order, and wait. The person who took my order was a young male. All the employees I saw (3 - 2 females, 1 male) couldn't have been more than 22yrs old(best guess). He took the order but didnt know how to process credit cards so another girl came to help. She had been making shakes and had on gloves. She took 1 off but the other got some sort of red jelly substance on my card. She didn't even notice. Paid $42 and waited 20 min for an order of garlic parmesan wings, bbq pulled pork sliders, cheeseburger sliders (sauce -mayo&ketchup- on the side), and curly fries with cheese. I stepped outside and one of the girls kindly bought the order to me. That was appreciated. I reach my destination (about 15 min away) and am ready to tear in. 1. Curly fries....no cheese on them or otherwise. Fries tasted good. 2. Cheeseburger sliders...no sauce on the side or otherwise. No big deal, I have mayo and ketchup. Took off the bun and the burger looked dry. Tomatoes and lettuce looked fresh. Took a bite and it was dryer than it looked! I couldn't bring myself to take another bite. Had my boyfriend try his to see if maybe it was just that one..nope. My dog was hoping for scraps but I couldn't bring myself to even give her those hockey pucks. 3. Bbq pulled pork..Eh. Just a drop of bbq sauce. Otherwise ok. 4. Garlic parmesan wings...tasty, but swimming in the grease from the garlic parmesan mixture they use. Won't be patronizing the establishment again. Not worth the cost. read more

AMAZING ! Amazing food and really nice staff. My boyfriend and i found Jenavies Cafe's Instagram profile and fell in love with the pics. I love wings and Mac and cheese. So that's what really caught my eye. We were seated quickly and they took our order quickly also. The wings and Mac and cheese were great ! I would most def. go back ! read more

The food was soooo poppin and the waitress Destiny is dope mad cool !!!! I enjoyed myself and will definitely take the trip again!!!

This place is a fraud. Only good for the pictures, the food is horrible & management as well. Had placed a order of rice beans & oxtails. Rice undercooked , beans had no seasoning. Oxtails hard & over seasoned. Thank you but no thank you. Not worth it at all. read more

Food was delicious. The only problem is their service they took long to give us menus it's like they're on organized and just procrastinate and then they didn't even give you spoons like if you get a milkshake from them, gave you was the straw like you're not gonna eat ice cream out the glass so they don't give you a spoon read more

Creative food items, great for posting pictures on Instagram. -Wait time is horrendous!!! It takes forever to get a table. This establishment is ridiculously tiny. Plan for a 1 hour wait. -Wait time for food and drinks is about another hour, at this point you are ravenously hungry. -Food is mediocre and the quality is cheap. You can taste that the meat is poor quality and the owner is not spending enough money on it. Buys in bulk and probably for cheap. Will never come back here to waste my time I give them 2 stars because the presentation is cute. read more

This cafe was a great little spot. I love the atmosphere and also the the workers were very friendly. The place is in a small area in the bronx and you wouldn't think it would be packed but its amazing service and food, how couldn't this be the spot to grab a bite. The food came at a decent time after ordering. My daughter had a good time. MILKSHAKES!!! Holy cow, they are great. The milkshakes is a meal itself. I loved the food. I wish to return again soon. Its a little pricey but its good food. I love the music they was playing and it was a family/friend/date place. I would recommend people to try them. Two thumbs up read more

So my husband and I ate here yesterday. We both had the yaroa, suggested by our waitress. Neither of us tried or even heard of it before and we are now in love with it. Omg so good! I hardly ever leave reviews but I have to recommend the yaroa to anyone who's never tried it. I got the bistec con maduros and my husband got the bistec with French fries. Both good (maduros&fries) but next time I'll get the fries because the crunch was so good! We also got the milkshake which is what they're known for a guess. Listen I'm not hating but it tastes like a regular milkshake. Good but nothing extraordinary. I'd save a few bucks on the shakes and just order some more yaroa. Also, the service was good. I read reviews that said the service sucked. I didn't have a problem. I thought our waitress was super helpful and sweet. YAROA!! read more

Jenavie's was cute! My boyfriend and i got there exactly at 1pm when they opened because I heard it gets crowded and I wanted to avoid waiting. When we first got there we were the first ones there so we got preferential seating. We got one of the platters and the food was good. It wasn't exceptional but it was tasty. The shake was amazing! That was the best part of the restaurant for me. I'm giving 3 stars because the place was a bit unprofessional. The wait staff was friendly but when we first got there there was someone that you could tell was a friend or a worker that was already eating and laughing with the wait staff. She has bags in the booth and was taking up the biggest section. Kids were running around and the place was small. I would say other than that the place was nice. Go early and order your shake early too so you can have it when you want it. I've read reviews that said people waiting over an hour for their shakes. read more
