The place has a friendly environment with good vibes. The music selection was very chill. Their syrup was very unique, a good formula. The waiter was super friendly and attentive to our needs and accommodating. Food is a bit overpriced, but you won't regret the investment after you had meal.

TLDR: There are better brunch places in the neighborhood but worth checking out once I had brunch here recently. It wasn’t too busy when I was there. Got a nice table by the window. The ambiance was pretty dope. I loved the board games and the walls. Felt very welcoming. The drinks & meals were a bit on the pricey side for a neighborhood dive. I ordered a hibiscus mimosa, Bloody Mary and chicken and waffles. The mimosa was boozy but I was disappointed by the lack of hibiscus flavor. The Bloody Mary was par for the course not bad but not great. Chicken and waffles were good. The waffles were stuffed with bacon and their special syrup was amazing. I prefer my waffles a little less done than what was served but that’s just a personal thing. The chicken had a lot of potential to be good. The skin was perfectly crispy, but seasoning had room for improvement. I had a lot of skin left over. That goes for the actual breast itself. The chicken was prepared almost perfectly it was very juicy, however, w/e their brine is could use a kick of garlic or dill. It was bland breast hiding behind alright seasoning. I needed to use the house hot sauce which by the way was very good. A nice fiery low heat. Overall their menu appears worth exploring so I’ll come back to try something else in hopes for a better experience.

This place is outstanding! From the well chosen decor to the amazing drinks that are made by the friendliest bartender and the food is just delicious overload... Every bite was more delicious than the last the place is super clean and all the staff look happy to be a part of this place... I felt so welcomed even though it was my first visit and I didn't know anyone there they made me feel like I had been dining there my whole life... The highlights Chicken and Waffles.... you get white meat chicken breast seasoned to perfection fried to the perfect golden brown and served on top of a flavor filled waffle then a custom syrup with a cinnamon sugar flavor just amazing!!! I asked for the waffle without bacon and they said no problem we got you...Then I ordered the mini mac and cheese that was everything I hoped it be... creamy, cheesy with that nice cheese crust baked on top! The blueberry mojito is definitely awesome if has fresh macerated blueberries, lime and mint muddled together perfectly with rum over ice it is what you also hope your mojito is going to be... I am super impressed and will be back here on a regular basis... You need to see for yourself... Follow them on Instagram: @191knickerbocker and you can follow me as well @thaprofechanel

I really like this place. I really like the vibe, the food and the service. The mac and cheese was great, and so was the sangria. My first time was for dinner, hoping the next visit will be for lunch or brunch, and the atmosphere stays the same.

really friendly service! the mac n cheese is incredible! honestly far better than expected. it is a straight up creamy cheese party that your mouth will never want to leave. also, the veggie fritters are great, perfectly crispy outside but soft and fluffy within no vegetables tho? idk & idc, with a really garlicky creamed spinach for dipping. i love garlic so this is a good thing!! seriously though, you gotta try the mac and cheese.

Man....THIS place HERE! We were headed to IHOP when my wife Googled brunch near us and this came up I think 3rd on the list and it just looked like our type of place...boy were we in for a treat. Service was impeccable, ambiance is really bushwickish..williamsburgish setup. Sunnit who I think is the owner was very warm and greeted us like we were regulars. We had just finished a kickboxing class and eyes were bigger than our bellies..thinking they were going to be small portions, we ordered the mini mac n cheese nutella french toast chicken and waffles and a burger. When the plates just kept on coming I stated to get intimidated LOL... But handled it like a champ. The French toast the French toast the French toast...it's made with cereal crumbles and NOT too hazelnutty. Mac n cheese really cheesy and well seasoned chicken and waffles were good I found that the bacon inside was a bit much for my liking..and maybe if it were just a bit fluffier. The burger was well prepared fresh bacon cooked right with all the toppings. Wasnt TOO crazy about the . But overall for a first time drop-in we're DEFINITELY common back and this time ordering some alcoholic beverages lol.

Great new place in Bushwick... vibe is real chill and picks up weekends! Love the empanadas, beet salad and chicken parm. And great drinks! I will be back...

Fresh, quality food prepared thoughtfully. Everything I’ve tried - the burger, the mac and cheese, the buffalo wings - has been fantastic. Definitely superior to the “typical” bar food experience. Try the homemade West Indian hot sauce in the yellow bottles!

Superb food, fantastic service, and a causal but nice ambience. Easily one of my new favorite restaurants in the area. I went for Sunday brunch and there was plenty of space and the service was prompt. We got the California Benedict, beef burger, Bloody Mary, and coffee—I highly recommend them all. Definitely try their hot sauce!

We had the hummus as an appetizer which was very tasty with warm crispy pita and then the burger. The burger was super delicious, tasty meat on a crispy bun and topped with good quality cheese and bacon. Their hot sauce is really amazing as well. Staff was very attentive and nice. Strongly recommend this place.
