Bed Stuy Restaurant Suggestions
A reader emailed us last night pointing out that the number of entries in the Restaurants Guide for Bed Stuy is pitifully low—and she’s right. Of course, the same could be said of some other nabes as well (Sunset Park, for example) and we’re working on that in general. In the meantime, we’d like readers…
A reader emailed us last night pointing out that the number of entries in the Restaurants Guide for Bed Stuy is pitifully low—and she’s right. Of course, the same could be said of some other nabes as well (Sunset Park, for example) and we’re working on that in general. In the meantime, we’d like readers to suggest the next five restaurants in Bed Stuy that we should cover. We’ll take Mrs. B out on a date to the two most popular and report back to you.
SarahJames is very good
royal rib house was great….i remmeber when i used to work downtown bklyn, me and my co-workers would order our lunch there and one of us would have to take a cab to halsey to pick up the food and come back downtown…..sometimes we ordered $160 worth of food….good times
There will be a lot more ‘good eateries’ in Bed Stuy if the locals supports the old and new ventures. The neighborhood also needs to clean up it’s act,and, by doing so more entrepreneurs will invest in this lovely hood!

I don’t know what this poster is getting at either. Its borderline ignorant.
The majority of households in Bed-Suy are of Southern Carribbean descent. Basically every household has someone who cooks – someone who cooks well and somoene who doesn’t mind cooking. As a result, the people don’t eat out much, they don’t like to eat out much. They like home cooked food! They like establishments that come closest to home cooked foods they like ie: Royals Rib house ( 20 plus years of business)and Ms. Ruthies, Soldiers, Ali’s Roti House. It has nothing to do with “cleaning up an act” or “entreprenueril investment” Sheesh!
For those who want good soul food Royal Ribhouse on Halsey off Throop Ave is the place to go. It is still open after 30 something years. There is a line but the wait is worth it. The current owner is a sweetheart and she cooks with alot of love and you can taste it.My family has been going there since the 70’s.Unfortunately it is takeout only although I have long suggested a nice sit down spot but I guess you have to get it and git.
Why are you asking about Bed Stuy restaurants when you dont even have a single Prospect Park South or Kensington place on here.
Go get some Roti.

I’m not sure what your point is with that statement. One of the problems is, that although there are about 6-8 really decent locations, the properties are in deplorable shape and the owners don’t have the money to fix them up. Case in point would be the two buildings between the flower shop and the wine bar on Lewis. It doesn’t really make economic sense in a business plan for the owners of a restaurant to pour that amount of money into the premises either.
Also, some of these landlords are unrealistic as to what the rents should be. So, they sit, vacant.
I know because I’ve looked at all these properties and tried to negotiate to open Butternut Market.
The previous owner of Tavern on Nostrand is planning to open a restaurant at the corner of Macon & Stuyvesant, the location of the old McDonald restaurant. He’s just a bit strapped for cash.
Also, something may happen with the Solomon’s Porch site.
“oooohhh yeah CG…grocery store reviews. Good idea! I’ve got a lot to say about that.”
Snappy, wait until we do a rat count. You’ll be back to eating out every night 🙂
Koala, you take the bus to Bushwick for quality groceries? I nearly fainted when I read that. What are you talking about? I live in Bushwick, and we buy most things in Williamsburg and Manhattan.
I would add Schnitzel House to the Bay Ridge list.
