Brunch on a Friday! Really cool spot to grab breakfast/brunch #blackowned... Found Shanes while walking down Washington ave. looking for another spot and decided to choose here instead. No regrets! Had the steak and scrambled eggs with home fries and about 3 Moscow mules... lol.. Opted to have them add a splash of sorrel to the mule which was a plus. Idk what they put in their scrambled eggs but it was hittin'. You can tell their stovetop is oiled well. Everything had so much flavor. My steak was served medium well and cooked perfectly. Kudos to the chef.. bc a lot of establishments mess up on flavor and texture of steak. Definitely not the case here. My server was a female and also awesome as she was handling a number of tables and was able to brief me on the history of Shane's. I will be back. Cool atmosphere.. nothing fancy but def a vibe! read more

Came in on a Sunday around 1 for brunch Wait time around 5 minutes The drinks weren't all that good. Idk how you mess up a classic mimosa. Just tasted off. The. Grits were bland. Got them with cheddar. Needed some salt. And butter. Just flavor. Tasted like they just boiled the grits. But if you order from a restaurant you expect flavor. The chicken and waffles were great. Will be back for those. Got cinnamon crusted waffles and white meat chicken. Chicken cooked to perfection. My boyfriend enjoyed his omelet. The service needs some work. Just really inattentive. read more

It looks like they don't have enough space upon entering but after our 20 minute wait, they took us down some stairs and it was more space. Food was excellent! Nice vibe. Will return. read more

What a pleasurable experience here! Solid 4.5 rating.. After working up a sweat in Prospect Park, i worked up an appetite and wanted some breakfast. Instead of going to Tom's, which is only two storefronts over, typically crowded, etc. So, I decided to try a new place, enter Shane's Brooklyn. I walked in, was greeted almost immediately, and had a seat. Within the first two minutes I had three employees ask whether I had been helped. I already knew what I wanted, so I declined the menu. In odd fashion, I'll state two things I didn't like because everything else was positive. I wasn't immediately provided water, but as soon as I inquired they provided it, with a straw-- I only say mention that because while I always want a straw, most places never Do that, especially without you asking for it; they turned a negative into a positive. Also, they didn't give me any napkins, which was odd. (-.5) The restaurant itself isn't the largest space but it is ample. They had a music DVD on in the background of 70's music. you can never go wrong with some old school jams on a Saturday morning! I ordered grits, turkey bacon and eggs. The food came out quickly, contrary to other reviewers who said the food took quite awhile. Not sure, I saw signs stating new management, and maybe things changed for the better. The grits were wonderful, not soupy, enough cheese, turkey bacon was crisp. Absolutely no complaints with the food or service. When I requested a water refill, the owner himself gave it to me. It seems like a real team effort here because my original server, another young lady, and the owner all were helping out. It's a good thing to see when everyone is willing to help out to ensure the customer has a good time. Shane's has found a repeat customer in me! read more

Omg! I came here for a date brunch vibes. It was amazing to say the least. Everything had flavor and was brought out in a good time frame. We tried a few things. Red velvet pancakes with fried catfish and eggs Home fries for the table Grilled Salmon with cheesy eggs and turkey bacon. A carafe of pina colada mimosa. Everything was seasoned with love and time. And the outdoor part wasn't bad at all! I'm anemic so I'm always cold easily. I actually took my coat off and was still warm with just the heater above me. I would recommend anyone to come to Shane's and grab an amazing chill mea read more

Went to Shanes on a beautiful Brooklyn Sunday. There was a liver performer which was really cool. The lowlight here was the service. Our waitress came to our table twice. We had to remind her to bring us our drinks. Definitely lost a star there. I had the cinnamon donut waffle which was amazing. My wife and I both enjoyed it. She had the fried whiting and grits. She said that it was bland. No flavor at all. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but I'm not willing to try again. read more

Great food and vibes. Cozy and comfortable. You can't go wrong with Shane's. Definitely recommend!

I had my birthday breakfast at Shane's. My meal was delicious and the service was great!

Shane's was very busy during weekend brunch but we decided to wait around 30 minutes for a table anyway. Once seated, our orders were taken quite quickly. I had the chicken (dark meat) and waffles, while my husband had the two eggs any style platter. The food took a very long time to come out, and I asked for a glass of water at least 3 times until it finally came- after the food arrived. Eggs were ordered over easy but were overcooked, and were supposed to come with toast but that arrived after both of us were done with the food. The chicken and waffles were good and cooked well, but the breading was very salty. Overall, the food was ok but the service is why we'll seek our brunch fix elsewhere. read more

Came to visit from South Carolina. This was not a good experience. First 1 of the 7 of us asked for something that was pictured on the site. They said they didnt have it and then after we ordered something else the bought it anyway. They gave the wrong food to several of the wrong people and sais its not their fault because the server doesnt understand english. The whiting was dry and over cooked and the waitress had a bad attitude as well as the mgr who eventually chaNGED HER TUNE. read more

The food is always good , the last 3 times I've been there the service has been horrific & it's the same waitress each time. Kassidy is very rude & unpleasant. I would not recommend this place as long as she's serving . read more

In the words of Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Every waiter here is required to wear a shirt that reads "Fast food isn't good and good food isn't fast; don't judge while you "wait" judge while you "ate."" Sounds defensive to me.... so why the hell was I surprised when it took 45 minutes to receive two plates of overcooked eggs with an undressed side salad? Well, I guess that's on me. It too bad slow food isn't good either, apparently. read more

Food was just "okay". The food in my opinion LACKED salt and seasoning--especially the grits! read more

Food was well made and delicious. The runner was more attentive than the main server. Server did not check on us until when we asked for the bill from the runner. Although I saw other servers, it seems our server was managing multiple guest. Also I noticed a service fee. Is this a new add on to eating out? read more

For 4pm on a Friday, the service seemed AWFULLY slow, hence the 3 stars. I was at a table of two amongst only a couple other parties and it took 20 minutes just to get water. All that aside, the food was good and I appreciate being able to have brunch late in the day!! read more

Arrived at around 11 am Saturday morning and waited for table for half hour when we finally got tiny table for two people waited another 10 mins for waitress to come to the table. They don't give you water unless you ask for it. We waited for two plated of food for about 50 mins. I was thinking how long does it take for them to make bacon and scramble eggs and waffle (?). Food was no better than local diner. I don't know how they got this rating. Chicken was super dry. Kitchen was right next to bathroom. I was terrified with hygiene environment at the restaurant. I don't recommend anyone with children they will get very cranky waiting for food. And the table is very tiny read more

A glorified shed in the street. No dogs allowed on the sidewalk... where rats walk up and down every day. Ok. Snarky lady at the hostess stand... do you want to tell me "sorry not my rules" any more slow or condescending? Food may be decent but delivery only for me. There's no world where I would be looked up and down like I was an extra in mean girls-- and still be expected to tip 20% read more

So so so damn good!! So boom: The manager, Trish, very personable and hilarious. I love her and her conversation was much appreciated. I had the fried whiting with cheese grits. Now listen, my family is from West VA and Alabama. It's hard for me to get some good down-home cooking a lot of times but boyyyyy!!! This was HITTING!!!! I felt like I was in my Nana's kitchen listening to her singing hymns as she fried that fish. I felt so at home when I put that fish into my mouth. *does praise dance* My boyfriend had the shrimp and grits and he loved it. I didn't hear a word from him for about 20 minutes. He was quietly demolishing that delicious plate of food lmao! Then we had to make a decision about dessert. And boom, here comes Trish with a plate of that donut waffle. She said, " this is compliments from the kitchen, we want you to come back and tell people about us." When I tell you I died, went to heaven, high-fived Jesus, then came back down!!! That donut waffle was EVERYTHING!!! The food was so good that I'll be back to try something new on the menu each time I go! Thanks for a memorable AND inexpensive experience, Shane's BK! $33 for 2 people is superb. read more

To start off we were seated next to the bathrooms which already had a lot to say, I've never been more offended in my life! It's absolutely insane to me that a restaurant has a table right next to the bathroom. There was plenty of empty seats. I had the breakfast burrito and my boyfriend had the chicken and waffles, it was nothing special honestly way too overpriced for the quality of food. American cheese in the burrito??? You're kidding, the potatoes weren't even warmed up, Completely disappointed i do not recommend this place unless you're completely naive and don't know anything about food. read more

It was alright. It was a typical Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn for brunch, the drinks were strong, the food was fast & warm. However, the waitress was a bit off, it took a minute for drinks to arrive which isn't a big deal but that sets the tone for the experience. The service fee was interesting because the waitress wasn't warm or open. So to pay close to $20 for a service fee and it wasn't all that great, doesn't sit right with me. Will I go back again? Maybe - if there is nowhere else to go in the area. read more

I go for Brunch and the food is always good. The cheese Grits w/Salmon is what I usually order. I'm greedy so I order a side of grilled shrimp too. So good. The Pina Colada Mimosa's is my first drink, usually followed by a Sorrel Mimosa. The establishment is definitely taking Precautionary measures through this Pandemic. I go all the time. read more

Went here for Father's Day last year with my Dad and we both enjoyed our dishes. My dad ordered the nicois salad with a big piece of salmon and I got the skirt steak with cheese eggs and hash browns. Everything was delicious and the fresh juices we ordered were delicious as well. I haven't been back since, but I constantly order to my house through delivery till this day. Check this place out, they have plenty of other tasty options to try out whether you sit down in its nice restaurant with historic black art on the walls and enjoy the relaxed vibe or decide to order out. I believe you'll enjoy your dining experience read more

Shanes was and always will be a first taste of brooklyn for me. My wife and I came here when we dated, and we have continued to come here even while being married. All in all we've been coming here for the past 7 years! What has kept us coming to this place was the wonderful chill vibes of ambience. The welcoming faces and the hard working waiters/waitresses. All of them always greeted us with warm smiles and the music set the tone of being back home in my moms kitchen back in the day as kid. The most important aspect of it all was of course the food! My go to favorite was the crispy donut waffle with a side of scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese. ( In my opinion they have the best waffles in brooklyn). However, today I had the western omelet made with egg whites and a side of bacon and sausage. Everything was cooked with soul and delicious flavor. If you looking for a quick bite to eat but something thats not to expensive but also has chill welcoming vibes with cool relaxing scenery then please do yourself a favor and come get blessed with some good vibes and good food! read more

My breakfast at Shane's was one of the best I've had in the area. The staff was attentive and the food arrived quickly. The vibe was pretty chill and the decor is pretty basic. 4.5 because of the ambiance read more

I placed an order at 11:58 at the restaurant Shanes Brooklyn restaurant. I waited In the car for my food which I am currently still waiting it is now 12:36. I went in 20 minutes ago to see what was the problem and they told me my food was coming out. Which it Didnt.. I just went in to see what's the problem again and the guy got my whole entire food order wrong. Mind you the restaurant isn't packed and multiple people came and went. With no apology. I left. The service was inadequate and very unprofessional. I definitely would never order from here again! read more

I love Shane's! Great atmosphere, attentive servers, and most importantly: the food is outstanding. Be sure to get their home fries with whatever you're ordering; they are out of this world. Their chicken and waffles has a perfect crust and seasoning. Their eggs nova is amazing. Just go... you'll get it. read more

Shanes Brooklyn - Eggs Nova - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dined at Shane's on Father's Day and the food, music and ambiance was excellent. The only issue I had was the bill. On top of the bill and NYS sales tax was an additional Surcharge of 15% added to the bill. When I asked my server about it I was informed that 15% was an included mandatory tip. That surcharge goes to the busboy, waiter, and staff. For my server to get anything I would have to tip additional. So if you tip 20% you figure add another 5% for the server but then she's losing money because she's only receiving 5% on the final bill and not the full 20%. This surcharge was put in place during the pandemic and I have no problem with that. But the pandemic is OVER! Restaurants are Packed as was Shane's; indoor and outdoor so whats the reason for the mandatory surcharge of 15%. Toms restaurant down the street doesn't have this surcharge. Wish them well but I will not be back. read more

Went there for Brunch, now I can say the food was good, I had the grilled shrimp and cheddar cheese grits and I would definitely have it again. The problem is the place is really old and desperately needs a renovation. It has a weird layout and feels cluttered. You have to do down some pretty steep steps into a somewhat gloomy basement situation. The vibe just isn't great. It's kinda gloomy, needs better lighting. They have old signs and other remnants of the pandemic dated 2020 all over the place which just shows that no one even cares to remove it update the signs. I wouldn't go here on a date with someone I just met or for any special occasion. I'd only go here for a quick Sunday brunch and that's it. Wouldn't even bother to get too dressed up. It's not that type of place. It's giving local diner vibes. Nothing more. Service was pretty standard, no complaints. read more

YOU NEED TO COME BY IF YOU ARE IN BROOKLYN!!! The welcome was warm and friendly walking in. Reading the menu there were soooo many things I wanted to try like a greedy person. I asked my waitress Kai, and she gave sooo many options and then ended up helping me choose!! Which was DELICIOUS!! Creamy Tomato soup with grilled shrimp, rice & beans (curry based) & salad. Thank you .. I will be back.. FOR SURE!!! read more

I went here for a friends birthday and everything was PHENOMENAL beyond words!!! So much so that I ordered from here a few times after. I felt so excited to not support an awesome business but a black one at that. This however, was my last + final time. As I was biting into my delicious waffle I felt something stringy in my mouth. I was immediately grossed out & pulled it. Initially I thought maybe it was from a banana (how it strips sometimes) but NO it was an actual STRING! From God knows what! I couldn't eat the rest & threw it into the garbage. I immediately filed a complaint with Uber eats and as always they failed to help and/or reimburse me. I reached out to the restaurant who eventually contacted me back. I spoke to the manager via phone and she was extremely apologetic. She even refunded me via cash app. Although there was a solution (eventually -- after a lot of back and forth), I still can't wrap my head around how this got into my food. I'm traumatized & can never eat from here again. Sorry but I just can't. Awesome customer service and delicious food I just can't get this out of my mind. Like how does something like this get into your food? Please make it make sense. read more

I saw some bad reviews about this place and decided to try it anyway and support black businesses. I arrived at this place at 11am on President's Day and while waiting for my friend I tried to speak to the hostess and she wouldnt talk to me. In fact she purposely spoke to everyone else except me, she was very rude. When my friend arrived who happens to be white she let her inside the restaurant. My friend asked to speak to the hostess, and the same girl denied being the hostess. The customer service is terrible there and we decided to eat at Tom's. Do waste your time at Shane's!! read more

My mother and I ended up here for brunch by accident but it was well worth it!! After going somewhere else that told us a hour and a half wait for 2 people, we called Shane's and they said 10-15 mins. When we arrived we were immediately seated. Our waitress was very nice and gave a suggestion to try the cinnamon donut waffle. Wow it was delicious. I had that and the fried whiting fish on the side. Unusual combo but they were great and I saw alot of other people ordering fish as a side too. My mom had the dark meat chicken and waffles. She loved it. Thanks for the great service and food. read more

Haven't been back in 2 years. Not much has changed besides the space expanding. (definitely not the service). They were the only place we could get into after 1st Saturday. Like Esther A mentioned, they had a very limited menu. No chicken and waffles here. Still there were some appetizing stuff there. I settled for the fried calamari. It came out in good portion but taste was not quite there.... I got tired eating it. My husband had the wings which were decent. Others at our table had the salmon sandwich which was good. Mango Peach lemonade much better than Strawberry lemonade. read more

Came here for a brunch after a nice walk with friend. This place was packed on a Sat afternoon, there was a short line forming by the door. We were seated after 10-15 min, at the side door away from the main dining area in a smaller room. It was my first time visiting, and first time trying donut waffle chicken. I was so expected for the donut waffle, I guess my hope was set too high, it was really okay, just like donut in a form of waffle. The breading for the chicken was not crispy, and the seasoning was on the light side. My friend like her dish. The service was good though, she was attentive and friendly. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the neighborhood again. read more
