Reviews for BK9 in Brooklyn, NY
Ehh I came here with my husband on a rainy Tuesday and it was just alright. Nothing special at all. We had jerk wings and honey... wings. They look the exact same but the jerk wings just had a kick to it. It’s a pretty small spot, The bathrooms need amakeover. The walk over to the bathrooms is VERY slippery because of the grease and oil splattering when cooking and frying. Soladies beware. The bar was packed seating wise. My drink was very bitter… too much lime juice it was the first drink on thecocktail menu. The booth that we were sitting in needed a refresher as I felt like I was sitting on a slope. Lol but the musicwas good. Read more
The vibe: I chose this place, last night got together with my brothers and patronized this very cozy restaurant. We celebrated... my husband’s bday. The hostess is completely beautiful-gave us a choice of seating inside or outside for our party of six- wechose outside- The waitress was slower than I would have liked but courteous. Food: The jerk wings- the plantains-the burger-spicy shrimp. My brother ordered a side of asparagus and had to take it back inside because the waitress just didn’t rememberhis request for salt/pepper because there was none at the table we were seated at. So Chef Brian (hope I’m spelt his nameright)took care of it and came out and served it himself, which I felt was very attentive where customer service is key. Thefood was finger licking good- all of it! Let’s talk drinks Brooklyn LIT has a kick you have to sip-that rum punch hit thespot. Those 2 drink could be served in different sized glasses because at those prices come on $19 for a drink and the glass nobigger than a flute- waitress told me,”it has 6 shots”. My response was of what? I would definitely will patronize againjust minus the alcoholic drinks. Overall great place to eat, socialize, and bring the family. Read more
Good vibes and good music. The Mac n Cheese is excellent and the jerk wings are the best. Big portions too. Drinks are strong,... you get your moneys worth. Can’t wait to go back Read more
Waitress was also hostess. We were there during a sorority party and it was so fun. They still accommodate a party of 10, for us... amazing. Read more
BK9 is a really great restaurant. I visited on a Friday evening at 6pm or so. We decided to go here right be4 the Ladies Night... Barclay Center concert. It was packed. The upstairs section was full from wall to wall. It was out of control up there. When iwalked in, i was worried i wouldnt feel comfortable or have space. However, they have a downstairs. Seems weird at first but itsso spacious. The air was flowing and the music was on and playing all the classic 90's. If upstairs is too full i highlyrecommend going down stairs. Our waiter was a really young man. I could tell he was a teen or really early 20's. He wascharming, tried his best, was very attentive and we loved him. The drink menu was labeled Ladies Night which i though wasimpressive and such a good business move. I do believe that the drinks could of used more variety of alcohol. Only one drink wasmade with tequila. The rest were mostly rum, literally 9 out of 14. My mom ordered a Margarita. I got a jack and cocacola. Weordered the mussels, jerk wings and fried snapper entree. The mussels were delicious and completely different then any i havetasted. They steamed the mussels in a curry sauce. It was spicy but not overly spicy. I really enjoyed it and it was served withtoasted bread. The jerk wings were also really good. The color on them was perfect. They were juicy, spicy, flavorful and nottoo big. The snapper was okay. Out of everything we ordered, it was my least favorite meal. My husband is haitian and I'm use toeating djon djon rice and fish prepared this way. However, the rice needed more flavor and it was really dry. The fish itselfwas okay. It wasn't huge, perfect sizing. It was really filling as well. Overall i highly recommend it here. I can't wait tovisit again. The food, service and vibes here are everything. Don't forget they have a downstairs section. If its too packedupstairs ask to be seated down stairs, you wont regret it. Read more
We decided to eat somewhere near the Barclay's Center before a show it this place had good reviews. The food and drinks were... good. Location was crowded and they sat us at the basement where they have a setup. Overall service was fast and pleasant. Read more
Went here with a coworker for their birthday quick bite. They enjoyed their oxtails. I had the escovich fish. It tasted nothing... like how it usually taste. It was more savory with tomato sauce. The fish overall was good. But my black rice was hard and coldbut the server was helpful and swap out for some fresh hot rice. Will try the place again. Read more
It started out a little rocky but turned out very nice. The food was good and so was the drinks. We tried the mussels in a... coconut sauce, French fries, and the codfish with cassava with aoili sauce as the appetizers. Then we had oxtail, the fried fishwith creole sauce, oh the calalloo and mash potatoes were so good. So definitely give them a try. Read more
