Bronx Public is a dope spot on the corner of 231st that has cool art, good comfort food, and reps the Bronx Brewing Company with pride. We stopped in on a Saturday night to an almost-full dining room, and private party being set up in the back. Our server was quick and friendly, equipped with a tablet to take our orders efficiently. They have a decent list of classic cocktails and craft brews. To eat, we got the chicken and waffles and the crispy chicken sandwich. The waffles were super fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They were delicious, especially with the syrup. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The crispy chicken sandwich was much like the chicken I had on my plate. I would definitely return in the near future. read more

GREAT DRINKS! Just ate off the apps menu. My only downside is the cold draft that comes through at times. I look forward to returning. read more

This place is pretty lively when we went for the first time. Everything followed Covid-19 safety guidelines from disposable plates and utensils to waiters/workers wearing masks. Food was nothing special but still good. Homemade biscuits- warm and fluffy with honey butter Wish the butter was room temperature to make it easier to spread Dirty fries- fries with chipotle crema, pick de gallo, queso fresco and a side of guac Crispy fries with tons of flavor mixed in Garlic chili cauliflower- lightly fried cauliflower with garlic chili sauce, sesame seeds and scallions Very tasty you can hardly tell it is cauliflower Chicken and waffles- herb breaded chicken with homemade waffles, powdered sugar, and maple syrup Very normal dish, nothing crazy Overall a average experience, unfortunately there's a time limit during brunch time and the water tasted really bad like it had mold in it. Would not be coming back Food - 7/10 Cleanliness - 6/10 Staff - 9/10 read more

So glad I finally got to try the Bronx Public. I ordered via Seamless and my food came in no time. I got the vegan chopped cheese which was so good! It was a decent sized portion and you could barely notice it wasn't real meat. The show stopper was definitely the rosé donuts which I highly recommend! I'm a big donut person, so I was so pleased with this! read more

We drove all over before we decided on this spot.Of course found with the reviews of other Yelpers.We were quickly seated and our waitress was very sweet and polite.Our food was great,everything had a great flavor to it.Seasoned wonderfully!Nice lighting and s very cool crowd. I only needed 1 Rum Punch,it was great. read more

Went to this location twice within last year. My biggest issue is that even if I scheduled a reservation, the hostess has to remind us that we only have a specific time frame because she has the spaced reserved for others. It's happen the two times I been here. Imagine going here for the first time and feeling like you better eat quick coz there going to throw you out the tables are reserved. Making reservation the next time to be told the same thing. Main reason I didn't give it a higher score and have not been back. Other than that, the food was delicious and the drink were great. The music and ambience were good. The waitress was nice and friendly. read more

This is a good hangout spot. We took some of the older kids here. They enjoyed food and I was able to eat here since I'm a vegan. The service was good and prices have gone up a bit, but you got a good portion of food. However, if you have a certain amount in your party, we had five, they automatically add the gratuity but still printed the bill with a space for an additional tip. Nonetheless, we had a lot of fun with their giant UNO cards. The drinks were good according to the adults. Lol! Nice spot in the Bronx. So we don't always have to go into Manhattan. Definitely, will return. read more

Not for me. Rustic, hip hop Bronx ambiance. Which was the best thing about this restaurant. Stool seating in the front part of the restaurant. Rather uncomfortable for me. Not to mention they really pack you in next to others tables. They even tried to sit somebody behind us in like a mini table and both my party and the other party looked at the hostess like are you kidding me? We started off with a round of old fashions for the table. Beautiful presentation, however, we all found it to be way too smoky. I couldn't drink mine, I told my waitress (I won't mention her name for her privacy) she didn't even offer me something different. She wasn't a great waitress, rarely checked on us and being that we were sitting close to the bar and the kitchen we could see when our food and drinks were ready and sitting for a prolonged time before other kitchen staff brought them over to us. They automatically include 18% gratuity on the bill, so I guess she had no incentive to work for her money. Anywho, the menu was limited. No seafood option, I was hoping for some chicken fingers or fried shrimp but wasn't on the menu. I ended up getting the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese and it was yuck. My husband ordered chicken and waffles, he said it was cold and the waffles were hard and the chicken lacked seasoning. He said it tasted like it was fried in old oil. The birthday boy ordered a burger and he said it was good (he'll eat anything though). My other friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich and he said it was okay. Both of their orders came with fries and it was not plentiful. We jokingly laughed and said it looked like they counted the fries to ensure that they each got 10 each lol. Overall, I wouldn't recommend. There are better bar lounges. Drive to Throgs Neck and go to HK or Casa or something. This place isn't worth it. read more

First time here it's a great local spot. The food was good but please tell kitchen to let the cheese melt for the steak sandwich. I had globes of unmelted cheese that was actually six slices that wasn't melted probably. Great selection of table games. Music for brunch was excellent. Definitely make a reservation. read more

A hidden gem on 231st. If you're looking for bottomless brunch in the Bronx, this should be high on your list! They have good food, vibes, and bumping music. Their homemade biscuits are to die for. Definitely get the prix fixe for unlimited mimosas, sangria or beer for two hours! read more

I actually liked this place. Took my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday - the first thing I noticed on the website it says reservations are recommended so I made one. The have pretty good seating outside but the inside is on the smaller side so I would suggest to make a reservation prior to going. The decor is cute with graffiti all over the walls (including the restroom). They also have TVs in the bar area with a couple of tables - it wasn't overly crowded which made us feel even more comfortable. We were seated immediately and ordered a glass of sangria. The sangria was ok - a little too sweet for my liking and my girlfriend didn't finish her glass either. We ordered a bunch of apps - garlic wings, buffalo wings, dirty fries and cheddar biscuits. To my surprise everything was hot and tasted good. I'm not big on biscuits but they came with a garlic spread and something like a blueberry spread on the side and they were both good. The wings were good as were the dirty fries. I was able to sneak away to ask the waitress to bring a slice of cake to my girlfriend for her birthday which she did and I didn't have to remind her. I'm glad I decided to try this place out and would definitely go back again. read more

Good spot for a drink great oldies Saturday night definitely a little gem in the Bronx good luck guys

We came here as a group for brunch. We ordered a pitcher of mimosa and I was surprised when she brought the pitcher of mimosa with tons of ice in the pitcher. It didn't stop there, she came back with wine glasses filled with ice for us to use to pour our mimosa. I could be wrong but I doubt it but mimosas are supposed to be served in champagne glasses and they are definitely not supposed to be served over ice. Its similar to serving wine over Ice - a definite no. After I got over that we were ready to eat. My daughter ordered eggs, chicken gravy, biscuit. It didn't look appealing and it taste the same. I stuck to a classic burger and it was good/decent I had no complaints. The other people with us enjoyed their food so the food really isn't that bad. The only thing I can say is If they are going to have brunch they should know how to serve a basic mimosa. read more

I had horrible experience here. I walked in on happy hour actually 30 minutes before happy hour finished which should still be happy hour but in this economy, they're trying to get whatever money they can because a few drinks and wings during happy hour. Remind you, it was $300. read more

Great service, food, drinks, and music! Their chicken biscuit is juicy and tasty. Stop by and enjoy!

The Bronx public is a place you want to check out if you are looking for both a good time and good eats. Their biscuits were solid and tasted home cooked fresh! I picked the salmon salad as my entree and boy! I have never had a salmon so perfectly seared and cooked to perfection! Food was wonderful. Music playlist was popping!! Vibe check for sure! Will be back!!! read more

I came here a few times during my pregnancy. The first, when I was looking for wings for a party. I didn't care for their flavors of wings so, we decided to go with another place. However, I did enjoy their other menu items. I met up with friends here on a whom and we all ordered a bunch of appetizers and at the time, I was only drinking mocktails. The servers have always been attentive and we've always left satisfied. read more

Got a Togo order of wings, sliders and fries. The wait was very short! Loved that, and got an order of 32oz Miami vice, which was def worth the price considering you could actually taste the liquor. Our host Delaney was super nice and friendly. Would come back again! read more

Went here for brunch on Sunday. Although it was empty when I arrived I'm glad I made a reservation, as they made it sound like they were full to capacity. The seating area in the back is pretty tight, so if you are a party of two be prepared to be in the middle and tight. Beyond that the service was quick and nice. Had the unlimited alcoholic drinks for $20 + my meal. The French toast was super sweet and soggy from the toppings. Definitely a sugar overload! Needless to say it wasn't bad but very soggy. The mimosa comes in the same wine glass as the sangria. You definitely get your money's worth with such a bigger cup. Drinks are strong, so that's a plus too! They also had games but with the tight seating, it wasn't conducive for games. read more

Let me see......where do I begin? Oh I know...... Bronx culture as most of us know- is often underrepresented. And some people feel the lack of glitz it has- is probably why some skip coming to The BX entirely. But in recent years though, Artists, Developers and even Restauranteurs- are making some nice changes to The BX like you don't even know. And a lot of the new places popping up, are bringing something new and colorful to the borough. You probably thought Bronx Public only has chicken wings, burgers and fries on the menu. Wrong. Whether you're looking to turn up on the weekend or after work, Public offers a real creative spin in their Lunch, Dinner and Brunch options. Some past reviews complain about food, expensive cocktails, yada yada yada. Overall menu is small- but it's packed rather nicely with Vegan, Vegetarian, Poultry, Beef and pork dishes. And based on some of the earlier reviews, Bronx Public took shape right after Piper's Kilt fizzed out and went from that- into what it is now. The concept here recreates a bit of 1970s Bronx nostalgia with Graffiti, metal beams and chains adding a Fort Apache, The Bronx touch (I felt)- but taking it higher with wood plank siding. Service was pleasant during our party of 4 dinner. If anything, that's a 5!!! Garlic Chili Cauliflower was freaking brilliant. My 'Bee Hive' cocktail had some strength and could've used less ice. Hubby's Long Island Iced Tea, was too sweet and lacked proof. His 12oz NY Strip was cooked Medium Well, when he asked for M. Rare. The highlight was my Blackened Salmon cooked Medium and turned out to be very tasty. Just would've liked eating it from a regular plate instead of a bowl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. While Music selection was very good, it was excessively loud and difficult not just for my table- but most definitely sure the rest of the folks in the entire restaurant, having a difficult time carrying on with a conversation. No hard feelings though... Here's a tip: you're not going to take away from The Bronx Public image if you lower the beat just a few notches. So ok...they may not have everything covered, but it was actually alright. Up to now, The BX Public seems like they have a nice track record and has become a nice hub for some folks. Quite frankly, I can't compare BX Public to the previous restaurant (because I've never been)- but it seems to be on the up and up. read more

Definitely recommend if you're looking for good vibes and a place to get together with friends. Not too loud but just enough umph to it to feel like you're doing more than a restaurant service was pretty on point towards the end we had to ask for check, extra drinks but nothing too much. Food was great. I ordered the chicken sandwich. read more

I came to The Bronx Public out of curiosity. I'm always on the lookout for spots in my borough that are against the norm and serve innovative food and aesthetics. I wasn't sure if that's what Bronx Public delivered, but I wanted to find out. That being said, I grabbed one of my brothers and we headed over to Kingsbridge to check it out. Situated on 231st St not far off from Broadway and the 1 train, Bronx Public looks kind of unassuming from the outside, but inside is a whole other story. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a large open space that houses the bar and a few tables, along with a smaller back room with more tables. The decor was a combination of urban aesthetics like graffiti and a homage to the borough - it's over the top in a good way, without being kitschy. Two of my favorite things about the decor are a huge mural by the kitchen depicting the Bronx's designation as an All-America City (which it was awarded in 1997) and a neon sign in the back room that reads "if it wasn't for the Bronx" (which I assume is taken from the Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz song). The menu had mostly what you would find at a casual sit-down restaurant: shareable apps, wings, some salads, sandwiches, and a few entrees. We decided to start by sharing sliders; we had the choice of chicken, veggie, or beef so we chose beef. Additionally, we were given the option to top them with cheese, bacon, and onions so we chose all three! The sliders were pretty good - I'm glad we got all the toppings because they added to the flavor profile, because the beef itself was a little bland and dry. I decided to take a risk and order the blackened salmon for my main, since I didn't really think this type of place would make a good piece of fish. The waitress talked it up when I ordered and I'm happy to say that my suspicions were wrong. The salmon was cooked well and served on top of a generous portion of rice along with some veggies and topped with a garlic aioli. The dish totally exceeded my expectations. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly plus everything was served at a good pace. Overall, I had a great time at The Bronx Public. I'm glad a place like this is here and only hope I see more new, innovative spots like this open up in the future. Their brunch offerings look really good, so perhaps a return visit is in store for me in the near future. read more

Vegan options for the win! Stopped by for quick lunch and drinks for happy hour. I was pleased. The menu is extensive and a little overwhelming due to the daily specials that are presented. Still found exactly what i wanted. The vegan chop cheese. It is a cuter and neater version of the hood classic. Might try sitting at the bar next time and maybe some happy hour apps. Good way to cater to a wider ever expanding community. read more

All around a good time. Came here for brunch and I had a great experience. The vibes, customer service, food and drink were all pretty great. For drinks I got the passion fruit mimosa ( not pictured) and the iced cafe con leche with Baileys. Both were good, but my favorite was the mimosa. The coffee drink was great, but lost a bit of creaminess due to the amount of ice, but no big deal because next time I will just ask for less ice. For my meal I got the steak and eggs, which came with home fries. The steak was actually cooked to medium and the home fries were actually seasoned to perfection. I don't want pleasantly surprised because at most places the home fries are a bland afterthought. The playlist was great, although I wished there was a DJ. Our server was Natalie and she was so sweet and attentive. All in all it was a nice brunch vibe. Glad I didn't have to make the trip to Harlem or Brooklyn to enjoy a good brunch. I'll definitely be back ! read more

This place used to better when it was under different ownership. We had to send back our burger and wings back because the wings were undercooked, and the burger was overcooked. When they came out the second time, they were slightly better but not the temperature we ordered. The burger was not medium, and the wings were still soggy. And then we were told that we could not cut the cake we brought even though we were told we could do so. The excuse was covid, which makes no sense. The manager was rude, so we just left and will not be coming back. This place is not the same as when it was piper's kilt. RUN FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!! read more

The service was great! I actually went on an off day (Monday evening) 1st reservation to make sure there wasn't a crowd. I felt safe being here during the pandemic. People trickled in, and the seating was spaced out sufficiently. Each table had its own hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes, which helped ease my mind on cleanliness. The staff was kind, patient and offered hands-free menu's. The food (bar food) was prepared quickly and well. For a bar, the menu was vast with multiple salad options, including kale, and novelty biscuits and butters (cheese biscuits with strawberry butter - as an example). I opted for tried and true chicken sliders which hit the spot. Similar to the rest of the bar, the bar's 2 small bathrooms are clean and Instagram-able with plenty of reading material as you handle your needs... The theme of the spot is "The Bronx" and its roots in hip-hop culture. One wall features a huge black and white pic of a B-boy breakdancing. Inside, there is just enough graffiti strategically strewn about and neon lights reminiscent of familiar items and lyrics ("if it wasn't for the Bronx..." & the B-Side of a cassette tape). Outside, features a requisite rona-approved street seating as well as a "Live from the Bronx" graf wall. If it happens to catch your eye as you pass, go in, you won't be disappointed. Spot is located on the west side of The Bronx in the Kingsbridge area (just above Inwood). It's right off the Major Deegan expressway (-I-87) so there isn't a lot of street parking or a parking lot. And the streets are narrow. Fortunately there is plenty of public transportation; Buses # 1, 2 & 10 stop right in front or the No. 1 train, 231st stop, is a block away. The neighborhood is cute with a ton of shopping options. read more

Although the place seems the same since my last visit, it has changed a bit. The menu you now have to scan with your phone to download or see menu, they no longer offer free wi-fi, and the happy hour drinks are only Moscow Mule choices. My food was pretty decent, nothing to rave about because I don't remember my plantain chips being so long and crispy. My sliders were also a bit on the dry side, and I felt like my cheese was American rather than cheddar, but I've always like this place because of the environment and the drinks. I liked the although may not be new but new to me Mule drinks. I brought the Carmel Apple Mule, and found this to be very refreshing. It was sweet but not to sweet, the cinnamon and the ale portion added a real tingling pleasure to my taste buds. I know I would not dine here often but I do feel like it's a really good place for gatherings. Since the prices are decent, I think I would like to return soon because I'm interested in their Ladies night theme. read more
