NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Jay Street – Metro Tech Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We got stuck in Brooklyn traffic. Got off at exit 29 and went to one of our favorite spots. It did not disappoint. Classic Fried Chicken Wings, Vegetable Tempura, and shared a Bacon Cheeseburger. Texas sized Lime Margaritas. It all went down smoothly. Called our daughter on Whatsapp to gloat!!! She was not happy with us. Look at hubby's face, taking that first sip. It says it all...

I was eager to try the bbq pulled pork sandwich. When we arrived we were seated promptly, our order was taken quickly & we had gotten our drinks. Then the waiter never came back to check on us at all, even after the food was delivered. My friend ordered lettuce& tomato on her sandwich and received none. The fries were cold & the pulled pork & bbq sauce tasted mediocre. We also had to flag down another server to get a condiment. I don't believe I will return, high menu prices, low quality food.

I want to start out by saying that my wife and I have been going to Dallas BBQ’s as one of our favorite places to go for our date night. We have been to this location from when since they 1st opened, and a few times since. It has been over 3 yrs since our last time at the Downtown Brooklyn location. Upon walking through the doorS, we were hit with a smell of old liquor spilled floors. The floors and the entire interior is in need of a remodeling and renovation. Looking at how the neighborhood itself has changed to a more pricier look and feel with high rise apartments everywhere, then this location needs to keep up with the times. The staff was very pleasant and kind. I was disappointed by them not being able to offer the drinks on the online menu, but the drinks we ordered were great nonetheless. The Vegetable Tempura was delicious. I am uoset that the Gluten Free Soy Sauce was not an option for people with Gluten allergies. My wife ordered the Traditional Quarter Chicken (White meat) with Fries and Cornbread. She said the chicken was delicious, but the Fries and Cornbread were not so much. The fries were over cooked and the cornbread is still the same dry recipe that has been used forever. I ordered the Salmon and Shrimp(Grilled) Combo with Fries. I agree that the fries could have been better. The Salmon was way over cooked to the point that is was dry and tough. Our waiter allowed me to swap for an additional Shrimp. The Texas Size Drinks never disappoint! Henny Coloda is a Go! The interior, and restroom could all use a make over.

A bit of a disappointing experience for us. We started with tempura broccoli and sticky wings. The broccoli was good and the wings were actually really good. I got the beef ribs which were excellent and my husband got the smokehouse platter which was mixed. The pulled pork was good, ribs were ok but the brisket. It was the worst brisket I have ever tried. It was so tough you couldnt bite through it. We sent it back and the replacement was not as tough but still so chewy and just not great. If you tried serving that in Texas pretty sure you'd get shot.... Our entrees also came the the table about so fast we hadn't even gotten through a single wing each. All in all I wouldn't recommend this place if you want really good bbq. Kind of like Applebee's level food here.

Delicious fresh food. Have only gotten delivery so far. Tried the Pork, beef stew and grilled chicken breast. All moist and well seasoned. Very flavorful. Good portions. Love the white bean and avocado side especially. Delicious empanadas as well!
Leilani Chavez - a month ago

Great food great seasoning. Only advice I have is please cook your baked chicken I have ordered twice from here for catering to my job. The chicken is still not cooked, potatoes are hard and chicken is still pink. If you are a cuban restaurant I would assume you cook your chicken. Salmon is amazing!
Denise Cruz - a month ago

I had always passed the restaurant but never stopped as I was thinking over thick, slice hero bread with tons of meat stuffed inside, I saw a sign that said Empanadas so I went in and realized I was completely wrong about this restaurant. Ox tails, bake chicken,salads, salmon, and so many other delicious looking meals and did I mention that I love flan and yes they sell that also I can't believe I had misjudged this restaurant for so many years but not anymore. Today, I picked up 3 empernadas, which was good but better with some hot sauce to enhance my taste. I would definitely be back to this Cuban home cooking restaurant. Please go and see what's inside. Don't be like me and misjudg this restaurant for so many years.

Fast and delicious. This location is close to my job and I just love it when I have it for lunch. I usually get pernil with yellow rice, beans and sweet plantains. This is the full combo, gets me feeling so content and satisfied. Like look at this! I can barely finish it myself. Always bring leftovers home!
Jess the Blessed - 3 years ago

Sophie's has the best oxtail in the area. It is falling off the bone and it comes with up to 3 sides which makes for a great meal. The sweet plantain is a very good side, so is the yucca. There are also healthy salad and beet sides so you can mix things up. All of the food is seasoned and has flavor. Their green sauce is nice if you need some spice without being too hot. Order on their website instead of Uber or other apps. Those apps are like $4 more for everything.

The burger tastes great for a fast food smash burger, it is definitely one of the better ones that I have had. The waiting time was however too long. There were people in front of me taking forever to discuss who knows what and there seemed to be only one person taking orders despite some more people around. This could definitely be optimized. There were several lemonades to order from but I received something different than I ordered but it was ok so I didn't care but if you do, make sure that they get you what you ordered.

Can’t go wrong with Shake Shack. The burgers are cooked perfectly and the portions are solid. My go-to is the Avocado Bacon Burger (adding onion, tomato, and lettuce) and they don’t skimp out on the avocado.

The Hamburgers are so delicious. The customer service is excellent. Everyone is so nice and kind and really and they really try to keep the place clean,I would really recommend! keep up the good work.

I’ve visited this location before, but never have I received such great customer service from anyone. Richard was amazing in his recommendations and customer service. He greeted me immediately upon entering and welcomed me. His personality was amazing and these are things I love to see in customer service. I would rate him a 20 if I could. I am highly satisfied with my experience and will be coming back again. Thanks again Richard. Please remain the way you are AMAZING!!!!!!

We got baked ziti and two slices of pizza for 23$ which is so good cause the ziti could feed three people easy. The owner has such a nice spirit with everyone who comes in, it’s so nice to see. The food was so simple and so good.
Gamila Ahmed - a month ago

Best pizza I've had in a while! (much better than Joe's Pizza 🤫) My favorites are the chicken and broccoli and the margarita pizzas
Melanie A. - 4 months ago

Best slice in New York let alone Brooklyn, went to all the big name places and this one clears them all. Sauce they use is amazing and they’re all very friendly, gave us an extra slice and some cookies as well. Can’t wait to come back next time we visit from Australia. Margarita and Sicilian are must gets.

5 stars solely based on their Margarita pizza. It’s delicious and always hits the spot!

Update!! They saw they reviewed and told me they knew there was a problem with that shipment and have the thinner crust. That’s great! I really love that one. Thank you!! Awesome customer service. This used to be one of my go-tos for gluten free pizza. They had a thin crispy crust. I ordered it today after a few months and now it was a completely different crust that was fluffy and seriously undercooked. I know it is precooked and just needs to be warmed up but there was no browning on the bottom or edges. Bummed, now on to a bunch more trial and error to find a new go-to.

I come here everyday before work for a pink drink & they do an amazing job every single time. These people know how to make the perfect drink & the customer service is phenomenal!

Nice smaller Starbucks. Very clean inside. Staff is friendly and coffee was fresh. The line moved Quickly as well. Not too busy in the afternoon as well so good place to stop in, warm up, and do a little reading or work. Stop on in!

Absolutely love doggie friendly and have puppychinos!!! Depending on staff they can fill your drinks differently. But there's a lot of garbage , possibly clean things out sooner.

Downtown Natural Market is the spot for all the healthy goods. Herbs, soaps, healthy eats, beverages etc. etc etc. Staff at this spot is super knowledgable of everything they sell. Have an issue, there is something for it there. Everyone is beyond friendly. Wealth of natural health products here!! This place has literally everything.

The owner is super knowledgable of all the vitamins and supplements. Very friendly environments. Wealth of natural health products there! There are even Sea Moss gummies!!!!

Don’t sleep on this place! I was afraid it was just supplements and vitamins because thats what you see when you first walk in but in the back there is plate lunch, slamming smoothies, delicious patties! I can’t wait to try more of their food and juices.

Came in looking for some heavy protein green smoothie and they were super nice. Showed me the protein options and gave me a great suggestion for my smoothie. Came out great, will be back.

Disappointed honestly, ordered a sausage egg and cheddar as well as a pink drink, pink drink was off in color and taste, the sandwich was for obvious reasons messy, :(
giovanna acosta - 2 years ago

My favorite Starbucks location. It’s giving Cheers… when you walk in the whole staff speaks to you. My pick up orders are always ready before time. The drinks are always good and aesthetically pleasing. It’s always clean even when busy. The whole location is such a vibe. I go there like 4 times a week.
sharelle robbins - a year ago

I am in this location M-F as it is the nearest Starbucks to my office. The staff is pleasant, fast and always accurate. Though I usually place a mobile order, my items are ready, well prepared and even include the straw and cup of ice I request once I'm in store. When I worked at Starbucks some years ago, the expectation was to have customers in and out of the store in 3 minutes or less. The partners at this location definitely do. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The service would be a lot faster if the baristas weren’t busy conversing with friends who aren’t employees . But other than that omg they make the best drinks hands down
Samantha Rivera - 7 months ago

For over six months I have been going to this location because it is opened early and the closest to my job. My first encounter months back was terrible but due to proximity I stuck it out. One barista is so rude she always has an attitude and hands you your drink like she hates her job. When putting orders for customers they literally touch the part you drink from and frequently almost spill the coffee when handing it over. I think people only say they are the best so they would make an effort with their drink. The fact that I rather walk a few more minutes for another Starbucks than go here again says a lot. This is one instant that first impression was right.

I love this place. Food is always consistently fresh. My go-to order is the salmon and yellow rice, which tastes amazing. Food is a bit on the pricey side, but it's so worth it.
Darth S - 3 months ago

Scrambled egg with sandwiches are amazing and they’re a small meal that makes me full. Good for lunch breaks. I would definitely recommend this place.
Kyler Xu - 2 weeks ago

Nice spot for takeout lunch or dinner. They have a small seating area but would only recommend to use to eat and leave. Traffic is high in and out, which means food is good, but many people around your food. Nice authentic Spanish taste and flavors. Was referred to try this place by a coworker, and we finally went together. The food was so good (rotisserie chicken, white rice with pinto beans and platanos), I almost fell asleep after...lol. Will definitely be back!
Christian Carter-Marrero - a year ago

This was my go-to spot for lunch when I used to work around the corner over 15 years ago, circa 2009. Then, last year, I visited the place and came to tears to find the same delicious, consistent flavors and good lunch deals. It was a great nostalgic experience. The salmon used to be served in steak cuts back then. Now, they offer fillets, but equally delicious.

I'm obsessed, clean tasty food I've had their seafood soup and beef barley 😋 yummy not salty. Rotisserie chicken and pinto beans yummy goodness 😋 empanada packed and filled. Flan good. You can't go wrong when eating here.

The food is inconsistent here, but always good enough! The employees are great. Helpful, patient, quick. Atmosphere is going to take a hit here because all Five Guys are decorated like a giant bathroom. Not at all the fault of the business, but the area is getting a little unpredictable with panhandlers, which ultimately, does affect atmosphere.

I’ve been into five guys in Long Beach, Long Island and I thought it was very very good. Your service was very well done and everything was wonderful. I had a good experience there. I had not back because I wound up in rehab so I’m still in rehab so that’s why I haven’t been back but as far as the food and everything goesit waster I highly recommend it Raymond Joseph Zahn

Pros: The chocolate milkshake was bussing. Lots of seating and windows. Music was at an OK level. Cons: Gendered bathrooms. Busy during 5pm rush hour. Fries under salted— good for the health, bad for the taste buds.
Mia Bedford - a year ago

Burger great, but the were fries very soft. Possibly the worst fries I've ever had. Doublecheesebaconburger plus large fries and large coke: 30$! For fast food plus self service in a very simple environment extremely expensive!

First time EVER eating at a Panda Express. The food was tasty and the servers were very friendly and courteous. The price was reasonable. The only issue that we had was a homeless person coming up to the table to ask us for money!

There was nothing wrong with the orange chicken it just didn’t go with my taste buds. But the veggie spring roll was okay and the pomegranate, pineapple lemonade is 10/10

So gross…..I walked by with my kids and it smelled so good, you could smell the orange chicken..::u go in, it looks okay, not great….then u order. The noodles were gross, had a rubbery taste, the beef and chicken were actually rubbery in texture as well. I got the beef and broccoli, it was literally 2 pieces of beef, and the orange chicken was hard and not flavorful then my child wanted to try something spicy so the man serving the food was like if there is a sweet and spicy beef, we can try, okay sounds good, but the lady ahead of us ordered the same thing, he tells her oh it’s only a little bit, it will be a minute for a fresh batch then proceeds to serve me the cold left over he just told the lady wasn’t enough….like dude wtf. Anyway it’s was gross. None of the food was hot or even warm….the rice was honestly the only thing that was decent ….over all this was horrible and will not go again, I felt gross after the second bite of food and I didn’t even take the left overs, just like toss it. Ur better off going to teriyaki one around the corner or the Chinese spot over on Hoyt and schemerhorn atleast it’s fresher and tastes good, not frozen…. And good luck with finding a seat or clean table.
