Another covid-era delivery review... We like Walter's- they make consistently great food (you can tell by the long lines for brunch). We don't have them as often as we'd like because the things we like the most here, e.g. the hot wings and the burger, are the same ones where we try not to overindulge. The octopus and roast chicken were also pretty tasty. But yeah- the other stuff that's not so great for us is where it's at. read more

Ventured on my way to the nearby park. Was able to get a table quickly despite not having a reservation. Was even able to nab a quick drink while during our brief wait which was great. Once seated (outside) we received our menus and ordered grub. I went with the breakfast sandwich with avocado and my friend with the huevos rancheros. The sandwich, served on a sesame bun and scrambled eggs was great. Pretty basic but yummy and hit the spot. I don't think the presentation of the rancheros was what my friend had in my mind but the eggs and sauce were delicious. I would go here for a filling-but-not-overwhelming brunch experience. Perfect for a day in the park. Go here fam. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. The staff were friendly and attentive. A bit of a wait for the food, but overall, a fantastic meal. Definitely recommend! read more

Walters is one of my favorites in the neighborhood, I love the kale caesar, the octopus, and never forget a frozen mango marg! Food 5/5 - Delicious and consistent Ambiance 5/5 - Cozy and really nice, but low key and makes you feel comfortable. Service 5/5 - Everyone is really great, quick but not rushing you out. read more

This is in regards to their Walters To Go Takeout experience. This evening we ordered two Walter Burgers to-go and let's just say I'll wait until they are opened for dine in. I feel bad for writing this review because I know small businesses are struggling, but I really couldn't eat this at all. This is my first to-go order and never have I had a burger this inedible. First, we asked for medium rare, but we got rare burger patties that were still raw, pink and mushy. Second, the way it's packaged to-go is not ideal. The plastic container trapped all the heat and made the burger bun completely soggy from the condensation. I've had better luck with fast food burgers. I wished they would at least separately wrap the burger with paper, instead of packing it along with the fries. Outside of take-out, their Walter burgers dining-in are fantastic. If you do decide to order take out, please keep the above in mind. read more

this place has the best shoestring fries. wanted to have brunch but they only serve brunch on saturdays and sundays. got the saigon sandwich instead. if you like banh mi, get this. pickled daikon and pickled carrots and cilantro and a slice of jalapeño makes this sandwich slightly sour/tart with a hint of spice. bread was a good level if crunch. grilled slightly charred chicken was honestly not bad. bf had the french dip sandwich. be warned, theres not much if a selection for lunch, however, he enjoyed his sandwich very much. basically a cheesesteak but better. he said it reminded him of poutine. anyway, yeh, service was kinda slow - short staffed, and the coffee comes in clear plastic mugs (skip this), but the food was quite tasty. would come back. it was packed on a monday (new years day) read more

Decent neighborhood spot for brunch. Burger was good. I appreciate the fact they didn't try to turn the table too quickly.

My first time at Walters yesterday ! What a cute little quaint place . Ricky was amazing . So friendly - made great drinks ! The chicken sandwich was top notch we ordered the artichoke dip as an appetizer , my only complaint is --- maybe chop the artichokes little smaller and use a diff cheese , it wasn't easy to scoop lol. Just a suggestion :) thank you walters for a fun time and thank you Ricky !! read more

Hidden Gem! I've heard many people speak about Walters and finally tried them for myself. They did not disappoint!! I came three weeks in a row after trying it .

This place is a really nice local spot with a real relaxed non pretentious crowd. My friends and I sat at the bar, and the staff, was amazingly attentive and paired wine that matched our courses perfect!! We selected more of a tapas like selection of a few appetizers. Each one was better than the next. We had oysters on the half, from about 4 different places in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Fried green tomatoes, grilled Portuguese octopus which was to die for, and lastly deviled eggs which had a really spicy kick. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. read more

Server was rude and inattentive. Food wasn't bad but nothing worth going back.m for in my opinion

The neighborhood jam. Always love me some Walter's. Some menu changes I wish would get rolled back - namely the kale caesar and the beef burger supplier - but otherwise - always good times and food at W's. read more

Back in it's Williamsburg days, it had an A M A Z I N G French Dip Sandwich. I mean, I'd lie awake at night thinking about it. I'm kind of a lonely person I guess. Anyway, I went to this location with a few friends the other month, and guess what wasn't on the menu? The French Dip Sandwich. Cruel. Please bring it back. read more

Moved to Brooklyn 5 years ago and this was our first restaurant that "made us feel like we were home". Have stopped in time to time and the food has always been great, but the services has started to go down hill. The location and ambiance is top notch. Just wish there was more emotion from the bar. Tonight we felt an "eye roll" feel as soon as we walked in. Felt like it was an inconvience we were there. Hopefully it was just a bad night behind the bar. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! The burger is my go-to but I've honestly never tried anything here that I didn't like.

Good food, bad service. Food wasn't very warm and waiters rarely attended tables. Nice area of Brooklyn.

Cute place. Average brunch. And beware of the recommended auto tip percentages to click on the portable charge machine. They're artificially inflated. I hit 20% on a $47 bill with $4.17 tax. Didn't realize til later that the "20%" billed to me was $12.23. Since when is that 20%? SMH. read more

Before making a dinner reservation here, I checked on Yelp. Generally good reviews, with one recent reviewer talking about the rats. As a long time New Yorker, I thought the reviewer was just being overly sensitive -- how bad could it be, I thought. So I made a reservation for dinner with my S.O. I booked a sidewalk table, excited to enjoy the nice weather. Well, I was wrong. The rats are not okay. I can't believe the city hasn't shut this place down. It is one of the most revolting and shocking rat situations I have EVER seen in my 30+ years as a NYC resident. I'm not talking about a couple rats. I'm not even talking about 10 rats. I'm talking about 50+ rats running around the outdoor dining. They were foraging for food in nasty open garbage bins. Thankfully (or unfortunately) we had an early dinner reservation, so we had already eaten by the time it was dark and the rats took over. Sickening. I will never eat here again. Honestly the mgmt at Walters should do something about this before it becomes a major news story when they are shut down by the city. YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!! read more

The food is great and well priced. Everything else was that of a restaurant too busy to provide a good experience. It's in a great location and has a nice aesthetic, so Fort Greeners flock to it like it's a casual, mindfully-frilled eatery. "A local gem!" Some might say... but the reality is "A local gem being completely run over by an endless stream of customers and managed quite poorly." We went on a rainy day in early spring, not nice out by any means but not freezing. The inside of Walter's was even colder than it was outside and very cramped. We didn't have a reservation (our bad, it was Sunday brunch no less) but didn't mind the "30 minute wait" until it turned into an hour and a half. Their walk-ins system was very strange, they waited for a specific table to become available instead of seating us at the next available option. The table we were waiting on was a group of people camped out for 3 hours, but the host wouldn't ask them to kindly release the table. So I thought, "ok, they don't rush out their customers, good to know in the future, I'll bring my laptop." But once we were finally seated, 45 minutes later we were asked to wrap up because a reservation would be coming in. I understand prioritizing reservations, but we weren't told about a time limit before being seated after waiting for so long. If they're spacing out reservations, usually walk-ins can be accommodated immediately if they're told to rush a bit-- which we'd have been more than happy to do. The host then kept interrupting us to say "actually no rush, we'll give you more time." Then "actually we'll need this table shortly." It was awkward and added to an already unsavory experience. I'm sure it's a great place if it's not during peak hours and nice outside. But if any condition isn't already perfect all on its own, just be prepared to have nothing be accommodated for you. If you enjoy eating comfortably, this may not be the best place for that. read more

Came to dinner here with two other friends and we decided to have a spread that was so delicious. Beef tartare, Caesar salad with white anchovies, deviled eggs with crispy capers and bacon as our shared appetizers, scallops with succotash as our mains( super yum), and a delicious coconut cream pie ( meant for the sweet tooth folks only) for dessert! Our server Zach was really kind and attentive, and made sure our food came out at the perfect time. We also had a gin drink, but I can't remember the name - it was super tasty. Definitely good food and we will return. We all Left out clearly with our bellies FULL, satisfied, and smiling. read more

Nice looking place and pleasant staff but terrible food. Ordered coffee and an eggs Benedict. Poor drip coffee slightly off cream. The 30 mins wait for cold over cooked eggs with almost no hollandaise sauce and unseasoned undercooked potatoes. Nice salad dressing so it wasn't a complete waste of $30. read more

Accidentally ended up there on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. After speaking with one of the nicest hostesses ever, I decided to try the fried chicken and waffles. While the chicken was perfectly flavored and cooked and the brown sugar butter delicious, the waffles were soggy and not really too great. I nevertheless enjoyed it, but I would high recommed they make better waffles. The real winner for me was the cucumber mint lemonade. It was one of the best drinks I have had, it was so refreshing and the right amount of sweet. It would be perfection on a summer day. The restaurant itself had a very retro vibe and decor which I loved. It has a large bar area and the tables are very small and close together, but it was very charming. I will definitely be back! read more

I loved everything about my experience at Walter's and plan to return! I dined outdoors, my waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu offerings, and helped with recommendations. My drink was so delicious. Can't remember the name of the drink, but I ordered raw oysters and the scallop dinner. The only thing I was disappointed in, was not knowing that the scallops were served with a nice helping of beans. I'm not the biggest fan of beans/ legumes. However, I do think others would enjoy them. The scallops were delectable and soo tender! I really want to try the chicken next time. Hold the beans! read more

So the three stars are for the service & drinks. Every staff member - hostess, manager, bartenders, & even kitchen staff that I ran into by the bathroom - were so friendly and kind and helpful. Excellent service. Busy Saturday night and they were all on point. Drinks were strong. My old fashion and hot toddy (so what, Im old!) were tasty and packed a punch. But the food... not good. Maybe an off night? My Tuscan soup was cold and the beans were hard. Wings were salty and my friends mash was cold. Her friend chicken was bland. I'd still try this place again. Vibe was good, atmosphere was cool, staff was kind and accommodating. I'd give it another go and order something different. read more

Good neighborhood spot on the corner of Fort Greene Park. I was feeling snacky so I came here for happy hour the other day to take advantage of their half-priced oysters ($1.75 per). I was still hungry after so I ordered the dry rub chicken wings which were good but not great. Solid location for a date night or happy hour with a group. read more

Walter's - Oysters half-priced at happy hour - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Offering brunch oysters is almost bribery. Little Shems & Wellfleets made my freezing cold morning that much happier. Oysters come with cocktail sauce and two mignonettes, all of them are low key, the oysters shine. I ordered black tea and an omelette with andouille and pepperjack, it comes with a hash brown and lightly dressed greens. The hash brown was delicious, crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. They also serve their omelettes French style, meaning the fold of the egg is thinner, much more delicate, and there is no browning. I think this is the superior way to serve omelettes :) I will say the seats by the door do get cold in the winter. They have two doors and a thick curtain, really there's only so much you can do when it gets as cold as was the day I came. Luckily they have hooks for all your winter spread both at the bar and along some of the walls. The painted white tin ceiling and beautiful floors give the impression that the space has been here awhile and is being well cared for. Great atmosphere, friendly, attentive service even when it was busy! read more

I am new to exploring the Fort Greene area and decided to try out Walters for a late dinner with two of my friends. Upon arrival we were seated right away and greeted by a very cheery waitress who proceeded to provide us with the special for the evening which was a burrata salad. Thank God we were immediately informed because this special was the highlight of the evening. When it arrived it came with a lovely array of roasted vegetables and then we proceeded to ask for bread to dip with. The waitress provided us with a sourdough loaf as well as a baguette. Obviously the carbs were amazing and came with delicious olive oil. For my entree, I ordered the fried chicken. I will say that I thought the breading on the fried chicken was a little thick but the chicken was cooked to perfection and the hot honey was a great complement. Overall I think I'd like to come back and experience their happy hour and brunch! read more

Update 2022 My friends and I are regulars here because the food is really good! Come here on a good night when it's not too crowded (weekdays/ nights). Weekdays are great or summertime on the weekends. Just keep a look out, it's a popular joint! The burgers are great with the fries. The fries are skinny with a crisp/ crunch with every bite. Kale Cesar, octopus also delicious. Normally get the martinis there with olives. Only con is the bartender. I don't know why but every time we are there it DOES NOT seem like he wants to serve us. Slow or busy night. We don't ask for special treatment or customize anything. We like to think we are friendly, order our food and drinks and keep to ourselves. Seems like he could care less if we were even breathing. That's OKAY we enjoy the food and most importantly the company of each other. Will not order martinis there again if he is serving us. Dangerously WAY TOO SALTY, too dirty. Our martinis were brown --others were not, maybe they requested not dirty .. OR maybe some other reason. Anyhow we ate dinner quickly didn't order another round, didn't finish our drinks and left. It was the shortest time we had ever sat down and had a meal there. Wasn't a pleasant feeling to be around. --We certainly will be back but will be selective to what we order drink wise pending on bartender and NOT sit at the bar again. Still would recommend this place for obvious reasons that the food is great, drinks can be good and staff 99.9% of the time are the coolest! read more

This place is so on-point! What a great find! Dropped in here with my gal after seeing a show at the nearby Irondale Theater a few nights ago. Food, music, service, ambiance. Just right. Nice spot for a tasty dinner and the kitchen was open late so we scooted into a booth to feast. Fried chicken, grilled salmon, cauliflower side, and a complimentary slice of key lime pie for dessert. Perfect late night dinner. Heaven. read more

This had been in my list of to try places after moving to Fort Greene as I searched for my lazy/go-to spot but had a less than optimal experience from the start. First off, the vibe of this place is like a new American cafe / modern dinner spot that is popping 7 days a week. Given this, wanted to try it and see what all the neighborhood hype was about. I stoped by and talked to someone (floor manager?) who put my name down for 4, as we waited for the rest of party to show up they gave our table away within 10 minutes. The host had no idea what was happening and basically just said "sorry, I'll add you to our 45 minute waitlist but will seat you sooner." Surprise surprise, she didn't care and multiple groups sat before us despite showing up later. I'm not one to complain but if you say something as a business; do it. Menu: their menu has a somewhat small selection of food and a decent amount of cocktails and drinks. Personally, the verdict from the group was that the food was good in a standard way, nothing special. I enjoyed their drinks more than the food tbh. 1. French Dip w Gruyere - 3/5 - nothing special and the meat itself didn't pack a ton of flavor. I wouldn't get it again but wasn't bad. 2. Old fashioned - 3/5. decent. A bit too much sugar 3. Smoked palomino - 4/5 - light on the smokiness and more booze forward Long story short: I think it's a casual neighbhor spot that has its appeal but the experience left a bitter memory of this place. Id have expected them to comp is a drink or anything versus just being polite after. Actions speak louder than words. read more
