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

Took my Ex who NEVER has never been because he isn't from NYC there and he loved it! People was good food was the Best DRINKS was the bomb & the waitress she was okay. The only thing that I remember when I was living in New York and going to barbecue this right after you get a treat and I didn't get my treat but it's okay other than that I think it was a good experience the one thing I can say people should always try is the sticky wings does sticky ribs the cornbread used to be the best thing of all it's not how it used to be but it's still good 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. If you're not a drinker and you just want something sweet I do suggest a Henny colada okay that's all I got to say

I frequent there 1 to 2 times every week Nostramd/Livingston. a great chill spot. love seeing the same wait staff. they're amazing. drinks cornbread and wings are my thing. can't get tired of it. the only drawback, not just with this location, which I've made clear to them, and as the wait staff says 4/10 customers think the same, the dallas fries are a waste of money, it is absolute Garbage. compare to fast food chains like Mc Donald Wendy Popeyes kfc and other restaurants dallas serves the worst fries I've ever seen in my entire life and I hope they really do something about it. if it's going to stay like this, it should be for free. besides, I dnt purchase it anymore, but when my friends do it's disheartening. Please fix it.

The food was delicious and came quickly. The server was very courteous and attentive. The restaurant was clean and all of the staff were accommodating to our needs. I would definitely go back again.

The host wanted to move us to a different table because the server for that section refused to take us??? We weren't there to discuss their staffing issues. Also 2 separate people were going table to table soliciting candy, and church services. They shouldn't be allowed in to do that.

I went on Valentine’s day and the service was fast and great; the food was even better! They had a lot of staff to help anyone who needed help and the vibe was nice. I ordered the sticky wings with a side of cornbread and the special Lovin On Me alcohol beverage, everything was delicious!💯💯

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.

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.

Ordered Steak onions with rice and peas... Straight Trash!! The sweet plantains was oily n soggy. ALTHOUGH, the beef empanada was delicious and the ONLY thing I enjoyed! Chicke ln empanada-i'll Pass next time.

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!

Burger took forever to be prepared although there was literally 7 customers in the whole place. Food came in whatever order. It tasted okay, but not as tasty as it should. It's completely over staff. Workers couldn't care less about customers, they kind of ignore them, they're just chatting and making noise instead of working. Sadly this place does not live up to the standards of Shake Shack!
Julia PUJOL - 4 months ago

The burgers here were really well prepared and tasted great - definitely a leg up on your typical fast food. The place itself was pretty clean and had good dine in seating options.
Jarryd Cheso - 3 months ago

They are lovely with service, fast, and friendly. Good is yum as usual for a fast food meal, and location is great for people watching and downtown views while eating 🤩

Super slow service; cashiers with attitude fighting with customers over complaints. The batter on the chicken fell off when I grabbed a piece. Seemed like their frying oil hadn't been changed for a while, so fries looked sad and had a bitter aftertaste.

Shake Shack delivers a consistent fast-food experience known for its burgers, shakes, and fries. While the food is generally good, it doesn't stand out as extraordinary compared to similar eateries. The pricing feels a bit steep for what's essentially a premium fast-food option. Overall, Shake Shack is a reliable choice for a quick meal, but it might not live up to the hype if you're looking for something unique or exceptional in the crowded fast-food landscape.

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.

I ordered their gluten free pizza from Uber Eats and was blown away! As a gluten sensitive person, pizza is one of the foods I miss the most. Their pie was thin and crispy - not crumbly at all like other GF options. It arrived quickly and tasted great. I will absolutely order again!
Ariel Adkins - 2 months ago

I came here on a Friday night and was surprised by how quiet it was. I sat down and ordered their ravioli. Overall I enjoyed it. The cheese filling was a bit plain but the pasta was covered in a thick layer of gooey cheese. The garlic knots were good. The prices are good as well. I'd say this place is definitely undervalued.
Nick Felker - 3 weeks ago

I've got Pizza here 4,5 times always fresh. Stuff alway welcoming and polite. I tried different types of slices. My favorite is regular cheese $3.5
RO_MAN - 5 months ago

This place has the best slice in downtown Brooklyn! The margarita slice is the best with fresh pesto and mozzarella. The staff is so sweet and the place is clean! Delicious pizza!

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!
Robert Young - a year ago

Needs a restroom for customers, staff are kind about it fortunately. I don’t know why there’s no restroom. This Starbucks is very small. One small room really. But always like 60 people at once. And needs to provide slightly better service.

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.

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.

Came here because I saw they had some vegan foods, I tried the ackee, vegan beef, callaloo, and vegan fish patty, all were very tasty, although would have liked a bit more filling. Also tried the regular soy, which surprisingly was my favorite, so tasty. The split pea I had to throw out, the filling had this weird fishy/vinegar/off taste. The bread patty part of the vegan fish was less tasty, but seemed whole wheat, probably a healthier version. Was told all the patty crusts were vegan, and most of the fillings available were too. Place had a good amount of plant based meats, but not a ton of plant based dairy in the fridge.

Amazing healthy protein smoothies made to order and the best staff around. Hidden gem in downtown BK!
Julia Wilkins - 4 months ago

I’m into it. This place has a solid selection of vegan hot foods and the staff is chill/friendly. I’ve tried most of the vegan patties and some are better than others but all serviceable. Additionally they’ve got some solid selections of vegan grocery items, particularly May Wah proteins if you’re not able to hop over the bridge to the Chinatown store. I’m glad to see they’re still in business and hope they will continue to thrive for awhile as this neighborhood definitely doesn’t have a lot of gems like this.

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

Vee was a sweet heart this is the first time I ever had to have my drink made over ...I been drinking the same matcha latte for over 15 years . She understood ,her staff wasn't that friendly a lil defensive .

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!
Crystal Fairweather - 6 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.
Crystal - 7 months 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.

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.
V Mcdennan - in the last week

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

The beef empanadas slap. (fire) The beef stew Monday & Wednesday "special" is my favorite (only thing I order) however I do think the price is a little much. ($18) after taxes. Meal consists of rice beef stew and plantain plus beans if you want. My job orders from here so much they're like family so that's how I was introduced.

I like this location within Brooklyn Commons. It's got a lot of seats and it's easily accessible by public transportation. The food is consistent as I expect from any Five Guys.
Leonardo Torres - 9 months ago

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.

When it comes to this spot the burgers and workers are very nice and professional however when it comes to the customers it's very overcrowded and overwhelming. Can't spend time with the family without needing more space. There are college students so they are a little loud but other than that some people are very generous.
Dequan Miles - 2 months ago

It was an expensive but delicious double cheese burger for about 11 dollars. It was a dollar extra for an extra burger so i went for it. No fries or drink included cost extra separately. There was some seating area. It seems pretty clean. Could sit outside there are benches. I did see peanut was not sure if they were free to take or pay near the front of the restaurant.

Got an Italian sub. Bottom half of the bread was really soggy, like the veggies were dripping wet when they put it on. They also charged me more than what's posted on their menus in the store (aka more that just the listed total plus tax). I'm seeing other comments about people being charged differently as well.

My 1st time & they knocked it out of the park!! I had the southwest omlette with bacon, instead of ham, and a little cheese. It was perfect!! Best omlette I've had in ages! And the plantains were on point too. Support small business!!
Heather R (clevelis) - 2 years ago

I worked in area so visited store 5 days a week. I got coffee in mornings,breakfast & sometimes lunch. I liked going there for the variety offered,sandwiches, hot food & salads. if you were looking at menu posted and omit something or add found pricing grossly different by the time you got to front counter to pay. This happened on more than 1 occasion almost as if pricing was made up as you go along. I paid different pricing on different days for same item. and you have to remember to ask for specials so they can re work close to what is posted up on menu or then you feel like you are getting a better deal.. I was always rushing off to work so i didn"t dispute. This is terrible.... you always have to walk around with cash because this business will NOT accept any credit cards or debit cards.
