    I got the Brooklyn Tree burger with sweet potato fries. The fries were exactly what I wanted, I wish it was slightly crispier but other than that they were amazing! The burger was good too. Service was good and food came out fast. There aren't too many tables inside but it's a good size. There's a single stall bathroom in the back.

    Originally planned to go to another brunch spot with a long waitlist around 11AM, so we decided to come here as we saw the good reviews and called ahead to make sure they had seats available. We came around 11:15 so just a little after opening so there were definitely seats open! However around noon tables filled up, seats are limited so would recommend coming early. Pretty much everything we ordered we LOVED! We also got the Buy 1 Get 1 happy hour mimosas. The workers were so sweet and giving us other recommendations to do in the area. Would 100% come back, still thinking about that grilled cheese and tomato soup!!

    Such a great experience. Food was great. Service was excellent, well attended, Gustavo took care of us. Definitely will be coming back!

    Seekers of healthy food, listen up, because Brooklyn Tree is a cut above other eateries. You may not expect much from the generic name and no frills interior. Their simple menu of sandwiches, plates, and salads even feels uninspired, but the execution is actually flawless. I'm in the area often for comedy nights and bar hangs, and to offset the effects of the alcohol I often seek out a hearty bowl of greens. The Brooklyn Tree has yet to disappoint me. The roasted pumpkin salad is my favorite on the menu, with its crispy chickpeas, red onion, artichoke, pumpkin, and tahini dressing on a bed of greens. The portion if you dine in is especially large, and made even better with a veggie burger or salmon burger as an added protein. I love pairing this with their amazing sweet potato fries, and in the evenings you can even get a beer, wine, or some simple cocktails to go with your order. You order and pay at the register, and there are only a few tables with metal chairs in the space, so note that the vibe is very casual, but for a quick stop before I head out to the bars in the neighborhood, I think Brooklyn Tree is a solid, healthy option.

    I'm outing myself here, but I was on the hunt for brunch when I tried to go to Champ's around the corner. The wait was quite long, and I was already hangry. We stopped in here as a Hail Mary and became BLESSED. They had just opened on a Friday morning. Very quaint place, with indoor and outdoor (covered) seating on the street. The staff was incredible, which was a precursor to how amazing the food ended up being. I wasn't expecting it to be bad, but I was blown away at how great it was. In sweet, grungy Brooklyn, we had the best brunch/lunch. Ample vegetarian options. Honestly, such a solid brunch option.

    The food was very good and reasonably priced - lots of veggie options, and the service was very nice. We got the pumpkin salad (4/5) and the veggie meatloaf with a side of sweet potato fries and tomato soup (very rich and delicious) (4/5). The ambiance wasnt my favorite - bright lights and basic set up. Might be more of a takeout place, but a solid one at that.

    When meeting a friend in Brooklyn for a Brunch hang, we had 30 minutes to spare and grabbed a seat here at Brooklyn Tree. The Brooklyn Tree had a BOGO mimosa deal and I appreciated its cozy and casual atmosphere. If you want a nice, small spot to catch up with someone over a rustic and simple breakfast-this is the spot. They also offer smoothies, coffee and baked goods but their breakfast is wholesome and simple. Came by a second time and got the Full Breakfast. Ambience could only be improved by having light music

    Meat Loaf Sandwich
    Bre Y.

    The Brooklyn Tree dishes out delicious food with high quality ingredients. I have yet to be disappointed with anything I've had. I have eaten both in the restaurant and delivery. The meatloaf sandwich is my favorite thing. Homemade, moist, flavorful meatloaf, topped with a red pepper glaze, gruyere, pickles, and greens on ciabatta. I highly recommend. The pernil plate is also excellent. Flavorful and moist. The sugar snap slaw compliments very it well. The cheddar mash as a side is hearty and well seasoned. The chicken schnitzel sandwich is also a great option! Crunchy, moist, and flavorful schnitzel on ciabatta topped with sugar snap slaw, cheddar, and a honey mustard vinaigrette! Finally I really enjoy the cheese puffs with jam sauce. Light and slightly crisp with a light ricotta filling. Definitely check it out!

    It's a great takeout spot, but the ambiance inside is also so lovely, with friendly service and just good vibes. I can't explain why but if you need to sit down and debrief with a friend, this place is perfect. They have smoothies and some canned beer happy hour deals too. My two gripes: 1. The food is DELICIOUS & well priced but I'm not a fan of whatever oil they fry their stuff in 2. Whoever does the chalkboard menu art, for the love of all things good in the world, WHY are the fruit options under the smoothie menu written in the wrong colors?? I mean a pink avocado, green ginger, yellow cucumber, red carrots... I dig the rainbow but could you have tried to match at least some of them?? All jokes aside this is a great spot!

    Coquito

    Stopped by a Brooklyn Tree for a quick bite before closing. The falafel burger is truly was dreams are made of. Crispy exterior with a pillowy soft interior and the sauces are *chefs kiss*. A pleasant surprise was learning that they have coquito for the holiday season. It was some of the best coquito I've ever had. If you're in the area, this is a spot worth checking out. I'll definitely be back for the falafel burger because they have no competition with that one.

The mix of a thousand island type sauce with ketchup made this burger a 10/10. The sesame bun gives the burger a great softness with all the other textures. + the fries gave me the feeling of an elevated mcdonald's fry! caesar salad was perfect. Lots of lettuce, not overly anchovy and just the croutons were soft and crisp at the same time? very much enjoyed how big of a portions all of these items were. chicken parm sauce was tangy and had good flavoring with the perfect melted cheese on top of the soft but crisp edges of the chicken. i'd highly recc all three items we got! service was quick once we got seated and was nice to be outside in the warm weather.

So..... we went and totally understand the hype. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.

I also heard of their $1 happy hour oysters, which is always a draw for me, so dining here was a natural choice. The establishment looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you walk in, you are transported in time to a cozy, vintage themed café with a small bar and a few tastefully scattered tables. I glanced over the raw oysters on another table and was very unimpressed by their miniature size. Also, unlike what their website states, the happy hour oysters are actually $1.50 each, which I found slightly annoying and maybe they should work on updating their website. Instead of going the raw route, I ordered the charbroiled oysters off the happy hour menu to start. I also heard their hush puppies are really famous and so I wanted to give them a try as well. For my main entrée, I saw another patron with a chicken sandwich and I ordered it. The hush puppies were really good, slightly on the sweet side with a fluffy corn batter, crunchy exterior. The dipping sauce that came on the side was actually a molasses butter, which was to die for. I do think that the hush puppies were a little bit on the greasier side, I could see that the insides had soaked in some oil which is never good for a fried item. They should probably work on frying these at a better temperature to keep the dish light and not as greasy. The chicken sandwich I was expecting from the looks of it for the chicken fillet to be meatier and thicker, but, when I bit into it, it was a lot more breading than I thought it would be with very little chicken. The side of pickles that came with the sandwich were absolutely delicious and really held a sandwich together because all that grease really needed a solid pickle to cut through it and these pickles did exactly that. I would love if they served even more of those on the side with the sandwich. The salad that came on the side of my sandwich was bright, well seasoned and delicious and not drowning and olive oil, which I appreciated. The charbroiled oysters were honestly a disappointment. This is a dish that probably would've worked well if they were using larger size oysters, but the topping to oyster ratio was just really off. The whole thing was extremely salty and the sauces on the oysters completely overpowered the oyster flavor. These were served with sourdough bread, which was a nice touch because the bread carries the sauce from the oysters very well. The oysters themselves had a lot of grease and then the toasted bread was also very greasy. I think that's one thing that I really did not like about this place is that their food was EXTREMELY GREASY. Normally food with fried components is not supposed to be this heavy but having this meal actually made me feel ill afterwards, and I only ate half of everything and had mad leftovers. I hope that they can improve on certain things based on my feedback. Service was friendly, it's a small space and it's not too hard to get a server's attention. I think their menu has so much potential. If they could just make a few need changes to elevate the quality of their food, this would be easily a five star establishment.

The restaurant itself has a modern, chic décor with a lively but moderate noise level.
