Delicious food, friendly staff. We happened to call last minute on a Saturday and it was fine to stop in. We sat in a side room, felt like our own private party. They had great music. Caribbean flair and food, I would return.

I wish I could tell you about the quality of the food but I can't because I never got it. I came by after being home from deployment and I wanted a little bit of a taste of home so I tried this space that I heard had nice Caribbean food. The servers were nice but I waited over an hour for food and I never got it. The restaurant only had 2 other groups seated in the main area and we only ordered 2 entrees( chicken&waffles and an oxtail hash). Unfortunately we couldn't stay any longer so we had to leave and even upon leaving my meal wasn't close to being completed. They apologized but most places would have at least comped the drink. They did not and made tip mandatory. Do not come here, if you want authentic carribean food please head further down south of flatbush.

Waited 45 minutes after placing the order and had to leave to make my appointments but the food never came! I would give them negative starts if i could. If they had told us that the food would take a while then we could have reprioritized, instead my entire day had to be moved around because of the delay. Extremely disappointing! Would not recommend.

Although the food is great, the service is terrible for the price of the food and drinks. I would not go back.

Great food and drinks. Nice chill atmosphere. My only criticism is there are not enough servers so service takes a while and waitress may forget to bring a dish to the table.

The food satisfies the same way with each visit. The taste makes you want more. The team demonstrated extraordinary warmth and eagerly addressed all inquiries. The menu delivers on flavor promises. I'd love to return to taste other offerings.

The lunch outing with coworkers became a highlight thanks to this restaurant. BK9 creates good atmosphere and draws fun clientele. Staff provides exceptionally smooth dining experiences. Each plate demonstrates good flavor and fresh components. This spot surprised me in the best way!

I am hesitant to leave this negative review because the servers were so nice. Aside from that, I really do not understand these 5 star reviews.
8 of us sat for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We had a reservation, and our table was ready and available when we arrived.
What we enjoyed: Drinks - BK9 Old fashion, Drunken Lust, Dark and Stormy and ginger beer
We did not particularly enjoy the food -Caribbean benedict -French toast was wet (definitely my pet peeve re french toast) -BK9 burger was overcooked -Steak and eggs: steak was overcooked -Chicken and waffles was okay -Rum Raisin Almond Cake: based on the menu description should have been delicious; the appearance and actual dessert were really not good.
There were other items, but our receipt was messed up so I have no record of them. It's difficult to confirm because we ended up with two receipts, but I think we overpaid. By that point, I was just done and didn't even care to figure it out.

I was relieved to find everything as good as described. This illustrates the correct treatment of customers. Their offerings follow expected conventions. Inside, the brightness was just right. My meal was worth remembering.

Relaxing atmosphere with music you can hear but isn’t loud. I had the jerk wings to start that were so good I felt the need to write a review before I even got my main course. The jerk flavor was marinated down to the bone of authenticity. The wings were crispy, not dry. Tender, not chewy. It provided the heat, not too hot that will have you needing water but will certainly invigorate your body. The spices feel medicinal as spices and herbs from the Earth should feel. 10 out of 10. Great plate presentation, next time I’ll take a picture or you can just come see for yourself!
The service was slow and the server was very inattentive ( we had to flag the waiter down to refill our water, provide table wear, get a to go box, etc). Pork chops were bland but well cooked and the spinach was also beyond bland the oxtail empanadas a nice portion of oxtail however they were also bland. On the good side the rum punch takes you were you need to go and the wings were great along with a good atmosphere and music. Never the less I don’t expect to return.

This is by far one of my favorite Carribean restaurants in Brooklyn! The oxtail and rice and peas are so good. The drinks are strong and flavorful. My favorite is the Drunken Lust (if you want to get knocked out by the end of the night, that is the go-to.) The plantains are cooked to perfection, served with a delicious cilantro sauce. I went several times -- during the Holiday season and 3 times casually -- I can say that the setting is nice. The dining area is clean -- tables and cutlery are clean. However, I would say that the space between tables is small. The restaurant can feel crowded at times, even if there aren't many people there. The music is great~ but the service time could be better. I had to wait for quite some time before the appetizers arrived. Overall, great experience. Unfortunately, no photos. Next time, I will be sure to add some.
