Brunch at Shane's Brooklyn was a whole vibe. I went with a group of friends and from start to finish it delivered and I love supporting a Black-owned business that does brunch this well. I had the catfish and grits perfectly seasoned, crispy, and comforting in all the right ways. One friend ordered Shane's Deluxe, another got the steak and eggs, and everyone was genuinely happy with their plates. You know it's good when the table goes quiet for a minute. We all did the bottomless mimosas, and shoutout to Cassie, who was more than generous and kept them flowing without us ever having to ask. Her energy really made the experience attentive, fun, and on point. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. Definitely a brunch spot worth supporting and coming back to. read more

This place never fails. When I'm in Brooklyn and within distance of Shanes, it's a must. I've never had a meal here and thought anything but good things. You know when you start eating something and immediately want to dance? That's exactly how this place will make you feel. The portions are great, the staff is friendly, and the prices are affordable. It's a big deal when a restaurant in this area stands the test of time and is loved by the entire community. My only regret is not ordering the crab cake to go. But I'll be back either by myself or with a friend. read more

Stopped by for brunch on a Monday afternoon and Shane's was still serving up brunch and even offered a boozy option. I love a restaurant that offers french toast with fried chicken and I must say their chicken was fried to perfection. I will definitely be back! read more

We originally tried to go to Tom's nearby but didn't have enough cash on us, so we came to Shane's instead because they accept credit cards. It was not too busy at 10am on a Sunday, but it filled up by the time we left. The place is bigger than you'd think because they also have tables downstairs. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and the Loaded home fries with turkey bacon. The strawberry lemonade was really good- just the right balance of sweet and tart for me. The loaded home fries were seasoned well, but not as 'loaded' as I hoped. I was expecting a little more egg and bacon than what was there. It came in a small but deep bowl, which made it hard for me to mix the components together without making a mess. I would come back to Shane's but try something else next time, maybe the fried chicken. read more

Nice spot I decided to come here with my best friend to have brunch and the environment is cozy. Very chill and intimate. Nice music playing mature crowd not too loud but nice enough to have conversations and not be overpowered by the noise. I will be returning again I loved the spot just may try different. Food options. Food: 3/5 I ordered French toast with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. The French toast tasted a bit dry . Maybe they should use French brioche bread Instead of the bread they used it tasted cheap. My best friends dish was Belgium waffles with turkey bacon and eggs and I feel like her waffles tasted better. Ambiance : 3.8/5 Nice art work, color scheme and vibe. Service: 3/5 Our waitress was pleasant. But kind of slow in taking our order and bringing back our food. read more

Had lunch here with a friend today (it's quite close to the Brooklyn Museum) and I'm mystified as to why its rating isn't higher. We found every bit of it delightful. The service was excellent and so was the food. Large portions for a fair price too. I had the fish and chips (I chose the catfish) -- three big pieces of fish and a whole mess of fries. Both done perfectly. We will definitely be back! read more

We met one of A's friends, who lives in Brooklyn, for brunch at Shane's. It's a tiny restaurant. When I first entered I wasn't sure I was going to feel comfortable there. I have this whole mental malfunction about being in the way, or my wheelchair taking up too much space. (Thanks, family!) But once the staff figured out how to open the double doors so I could get into the dining room everything was fine. We visited Shane's on our second day in the city and were, unfortunately, running low on funds (the hotel hit us with an unexpected $200 security deposit when we checked in), so I just had a coffee, which was delicious. That's saying a lot because I just realized that I don't like most coffee. At home I use flavored creamers, and still end up pouring most of it out, so I stopped drinking it. Shane's coffee was delicious with sugar and cream. Jeremy had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich which was very good. And also probably the cheapest item on the menu at $8. We split the check, and the rest of our party had more extravagant meals and cocktails, which they all seemed to enjoy. We found it odd that even though we split the check, it still came on one bill. I've never seen that before, and it caused us some confusion. We had a great time. The staff was pleasant. I was surprised that there weren't any bagels on the menu though. read more

A cold winter day and my sister, niece and mom brought me here ,Brunch was going on. And I see why they returned. The food was delicious (I was starving tho), I had the cinnamon waffles and wings. The girls had some of everything. I didn't know how they'd taste but they were soo good. The French toast wasn't hard and had a lite crunch to it even after adding the maple syrup. That cinnamon texture, flavor and crunch was so present, my plate didn't last long. I Cant wait to go back. The only reason the stars aren't at a 5 is the wait and the unbalanced table and spilled drinks. But our server was so good. I almost look past it. But that has to be taken care of. read more

They were able to accommodate a party of 13 on the whim just like that. Loved that . Customer service A plus. Everyone was so polite smiled and warm. Our serve was awesome. We did the 50 dollar unlimited Mimosa and I had the strawberry flavor. It was delicious. I loved that you can mix and match. I ordered chicken and waffles as the menu was limited with the unlimited mimosas. It was a lot of food. The food was good and fresh. I tasted someone's home fries. Best home fries I've ever had. Area was clean. Close to train station and bus. read more

This is my second time here and I always forget to review it. Cozy family friendly spot with great prices. I didn't get the best picture but the food was good! Hot and fresh. Me and a friend did the $50 unlimited mimosas and entree for one hour. We had pineapple, mango and strawberry. You will feel it so be careful lol It can get pretty busy so get there early in, before 12. Service is friendly and I always enjoy their music. read more

This is the "after Eid prayer" spot. My sisters and I have been going here for awhile. I love that they have beef bacon. It's definitely a neighborhood staple. There's often a wait to sit. The space is cute but I go there for the eats. The staff is friendly. My meal was good. One of my sisters had the fried chicken was a bit salty. I personally can't speak to it because I'm funny with fried chicken and don't eat everyone's. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to some more French toast and beef bacon and a nice sorrel. read more

3.5 star rating..... The phone nor the website to make a reservation was working. Inefficient..... 20 min wait when we arrived for brunch. Not unreasonable but annoying nonetheless. Although an A grade, the place needs to be renovated and a deep cleaning. Esthetically it is lacking big time. The service was slow and inattentive. Asked if they could sell the drink special in a pitcher (like all the other mimosas). Instead of coming back and stating they could not and we would have picked a different drink that does come in a pitcher they just came back with the drink specials without giving us the opportunity to confirm our drink order. Our food and drinks were served AFTER others who arrived after us. They need more staff and need to polish up the entire service and esthetics. Having to pull up to a window to even ask for a table and deal with an apathetic hostess was also off putting. Having said all of that, the food is a solid 3.5 maybe even 4 star. read more

So there was a wait, understandable. But, there is no space to accommodate the overflow so you literally are standing outside. Thank goodness that it was a great day outside. We get called approximately 45 minute later. The place when you entered appeared small nut looks can be deceiving. You go down the steps and there is so much space. The music amazing, the vibe amazing. The food was AMAZING. You should be making plans to go !!! read more

Now I don't know why I have never done a Shane's review before but here it issss!!! I have been to Shane's in the past but decided to come back for lunch and they are still on point food is always amazing. Service is fast and attentive. Warm home like feeling establishment. Went on a Wednesday around 12pm brunch menu!!! Always a yes for me $50 per person bottomless and good music definitely will return. Didn't get pictures of the mimosas but the grapefruit and passion fruit are my favorites thank me later. read more

I don't know why this place reviews are under 4 stars ... but you need to go and try. Normally I skip under 4 star places but I was recommended this place by someone who almost goes every weekend. I'm glad I gave it a try. Get yourself those lemon poppy seed pancakes !!! If I could have it again I would. The fried chicken was also really good and flavorful. Honestly I tried everyone's food at my table lol and it was amazing. Service was great , the people are nice and they kept coming around to check on you right on time. I love the ambiance here. It gave off very comfy which I always appreciate. The music was on point. Old school r&b when I went and I loved that. Overall give it a shot read more

FUCK YALL DUMB BITCHES read more

We got the beef bacon egg and cheese on a brioche with home fries and they were fresh and tasty.

After not patronizing since four years ago, & them forgetting my utensils then even though I selected the option for utensils, I decide to order on Uber eats & call the restaurant and ask for them to put the utensils in with the condiments just like I'm at their restaurant eating sitting down. Yes, I need syrup, butter, napkins, fork, knife, AnyWho I called the restaurant the lady like oh you have to select the option ASSuming I didn't select the option and black businesses it never occurs to them. The customer is always right just Give me the condiments & utensils & go about your day. They always have to have the last word so to me it depends on the service I get plus the waffles were trash they taste like cake I like Roscoes chicken and waffles. I'm from LA and Roscoe's got chicken & waffles locked they again forgot my knife and fork. The utensils I called for they gave me the butter and the syrup Tho The chicken taste like crown chicken, but it was decent. Also one Sunday walking with a friend we wanted to try the brunch so we asked one of the outside waitress whats the brunch special she looked clueless, even though she worked at the same restaurant she just worked outside. She told me to go ask again on the inside? Like what you work here & you don't know what the special is on a Sunday so that's why they lost my business if you have a sense of entitlement because you're a black business, get your stuff together and be on point with all your employees cause service & good food is where it counts .. Not coming back or patronizing again. read more

A black owned business, this is one I can appreciate and enjoy because the food is authentic and tastes delicious, from the first bite to the last bite. Look no further if you want some Harlem-style soul food. Nice sized portions, and I will say it again, the food is absolutely delicious. The chicken and waffles are a great place to start. First off, the chicken fry is fabulous and it starts burning off your fingers immediately. That is a great sign of a good fry. Not only that, but it has great seasoning and spice. The chicken itself is moist and has great flavor. Oh yeah, get dark meat. I did. That works best with this waffle. The waffle is great too, but it is a little too sweet. I ate this meal so fast to almost forgot to mention it. Two hunky pieces of chicken and four sweet triangles of tasty goodness and this is a solid brunch spot. Everybody is so nice. The wait staff, to the busboys, to the customers asking what you think of the food. It might be a small restaurant, but it works well being that it knows what it is and does not try to be anything more. To prevent fraud, they do ask for ID if you pay with a credit card. This was nothing more than what you would do at a bar. Do not read into the check too seriously. I would return for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. read more

Shanes Brooklyn - Chicken and Waffles - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I always wanted to try chicken and waffles but always thought the combination would be very weird. Well, Shane's changed my mind. The cinnamon waffles are BOMB and the fried chicken is very seasoned. The mimosa aren't worth it to me. It was my first time trying it and it was a 6/10. Only downside the size of the place is very small. It's no privacy to speak or even move around if need be. Other than that Shane's will always be my spot to get chicken and waffles 1000/10 Btw- perfect place to carry out food comes pipping hot. A lot of food for the price. read more

Don't ever order an Uber eats for their food. They take their phone off Line where you can't contact them. I ordered food at 10:05 AM. My food was supposed to arrive in 30 minutes it took over two hours later and my order still wasn't readt. My food arrived cold and hard. read more

What a hidden gem. Looking for a quick, good breakfast in Brooklyn we were routed to Shanes. We started off as the only guests there that morning but the teeny upstairs of the restaurant with only 6-7 tables quickly filled up. The food was good and plentiful although we were all confused as to why a side salad automatically came with an early morning breakfast. While I love me a salad, I prefer it later on in the day. The breakfast burrito was huge, the home fries were crisp and well seasoned and the mimosas were strong. Shanes was definitely a good Brooklyn choice! read more

Came here many years ago when they originally opened but was in the area and felt for some grits and if you look up brunch spots with good grits they come up as one of the number 1 locations so I popped in to check them out. The food was good, the grift was good to the level which I like them so that was a one for me. Shrimp very flavorful and paired well with my grits. The eggs and French toast were good also. Our server was on point but it feels weird going downstairs to dine it's like walking to the basement for brunch. Dining area would be nice if it was open on the main floor. I would recommend others to try but I am not sure if the seating set up is the best to attract customers. read more

I wouldn't come back because even though the donut waffles were good the chicken had absolutely no flavorrrr! It was honestly one of the worst chicken I've had in a while. read more

They ain't lying about the wait! But the food is delicious. The food comes faster than you expect with the wait. There is a weird disclaimer about "no return on drinks" so really be specific. Their house champagne is Wyclef. Prosecco is a $10 up charge. I had the fried catfish and cheese grits. Lightly fried with perfect flavor. The omelette plate is huge. Pancakes are thick enough to withstand syrup, slight chew that you expect and the grits are on point! It's a seemingly small space that opens up with expansive basement across 2-3 storefronts. There is an outdoor seating area too that I can see gets packed in spring/summer. It looks like they have heaters too! Def a spot to hit when you are near BK Museum. read more

I came here last weekend and before I say anything else I want to thank the entire staff at Shane's for their hospitality and attentiveness. Service hands down was 10/10. Moving on to food my whiting and grits was so good I took some home and I know u not suppose to warm up grits or fried fish but honey when it's that good I will! My companions had the cinnamon bun waffles, salmon and grits and chicken and waffles. The only thing I would improve on was my friends chicken was refried and old but the flavors and taste of everything else was 8.5/10. My friend also couldn't stop raving about her baileys hot chocolate. The GM was short staffed and stepped in to be a server that day and if she trains anyone to work there, they would do superb because Ms. Tisha did a fantastic good. The unlimited mimosas didn't hurt honey lol. I was full, lit and satisfied. I came here 8 or so years ago and I def remember the food always being good Thanks Shanes read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but today's experience at Shane's was just that bad. From the moment we sat down, the service was completely inattentive. Our waitress didn't check in on us even once while we waited over 20 minutes for our food, with zero updates, no communication, nothing. We finally got up to leave out of frustration, and only then did the waitress casually mention, "It's going to be another two minutes." No apology. No accountability. Just a shrug and an excuse that it was taking longer because I ordered a "special" (the Shane Deluxe with French toast). Meanwhile, people who came in after us had already received their food and were eating. To make matters worse, it was clear the kitchen was more focused on fulfilling Uber Eats orders than serving the customers who were actually sitting in the restaurant. That alone made me feel like we didn't matter. The final straw? The iced tea was bitter and unpleasant. Between the bad service, poor communication, and being completely disregarded as a dine-in customer, I left upset and disappointed. This experience seriously made me reconsider ever coming back to Shane's. Do better. read more

I went to Shane's for brunch and it was pretty good. It was the second time I returned to dining out since the pandemic. They are pretty busy on Sunday. However, I waited maybe 10m for a table- not bad. Everyone I came in contact with was super pleasant and inviting. For my meal- I went with French toast and a side of turkey bacon. I had some hot cocoa to wash it down. I enjoyed in my meal! read more

The server took our order. We repeated it several times. We saw server enter order into handheld device. We sat for 30 minutes without food as a table who came in later than us received the food. The server even passed our table several times. Finally we asked where is our food. Another person (hostess) came over and said so sorry server never submitted your order to the kitchen. Hostess tried to offer us a free drink. This is at 2:00 pm. Do not want a drink wanted food. Did not offer a restaurant credit or anything else. Beware disorganized staff!!!! This happened on a weekday afternoon. read more

Went with a friend of mine after visiting Botanic Garden in a beautiful Thursday afternoon. Food was good, service was nice. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they added gratuity to our check (it was three of us). I asked why? The server said it is a standard. Honestly, it is not a standard and I know for a fact since I wait tables for a living. Was it because we spoke our language ? Did we look like European tourists? I didn't wanna make a big deal about it, as a matter of fact it saved me a few bucks because I always leave 20% no matter what and they added 15%. It just didn't feel right. read more

I use to love me Shanes back in the day, but since it's been a least 10 years a was little leery, but I'm happy to say that they didn't disappoint. The Greek Omelette was just like I remembered, tasty and all the ingredients evenly proportioned. The home fries were nicely seasoned with a little kick to them. The pancakes were ok, I wish my bananas and walnuts were in the pancakes. I basically paid $3 for a small banana and a handful of walnuts ‍ All and all I'll order again. read more
