Food is always AMAZING! Good options to choose from. This place has a very relaxed vibe so if you are looking for a place to chat, catch up and eat great food it's a nice option!
I looove sally's. They truly never miss. The jerk veggie dumplings, amazing. The tostones, huge and crispy. That dressing the greens are tossed in? I'd eat straight greens everyday with whatever that is. Random, but I love their crushed ice. The curried chicken is my favorite but everything is honestly so good. Staff is always super cool and friendly and the music is amazing.
When friends visit from out of town our go to place is always Sally's - whether it's for dinks or a good meal, the quality and consistency is there and it's a neighborhood favorite for me.

Dear Sally’s Management Team,
On Saturday, October 18, 2025, at approximately 7:45 p.m. ET, I had an unfortunate experience at your restaurant. I understand and respect that Sally’s operates on a first come, first serve basis. However, the lack of transparency from your operations team left much to be desired and resulted in a disappointing evening.
Upon arrival, I requested a table for two and was greeted by a host who asked if we preferred indoor or outdoor seating. Given the weather, we chose to sit indoors. The host informed us that an event was taking place in the left-back section of the restaurant and suggested we sit at the bar. Unfortunately, there were no available seats at the bar, so we decided to wait outside.
While waiting, the host returned to ask again if we wanted to sit outside. We declined, as the outdoor area appeared unkept, dimly lit, and overall undesirable. Additionally, there were two parties already seated outside who appeared not to have received water or any service.
A short while later, the host informed us that the entire restaurant was booked for a private event. This raised a question: was only a section reserved, or was the whole establishment closed for the event? The communication was unclear and inconsistent.
What was most frustrating was the lack of notice. There was no signage on the door, nor any notice on your website, indicating that the restaurant was closed to the public for a private event. For a business that operates without reservations, it is essential to provide patrons with clear, advance communication when normal service is unavailable.
This lack of transparency reflects poorly on the management and operations of Sally’s. A simple website notice, social media update, or door sign would have been sufficient to prevent the confusion and frustration experienced by guests that evening.
Additionally, the fact that there appeared to be only two waitstaff on duty further suggested that public service was not the priority that night. Overall, this experience has unfortunately left a negative impression and has made me hesitant to return.
I genuinely hope your management team takes this feedback to heart and improves communication and operational transparency. These are Restaurant 101 fundamentals that can greatly enhance guest satisfaction and trust.
I wish Sally’s success moving forward and hope to see positive changes in how you communicate with your patrons.
Kind Regards,
Patron!

Dejae was our bartender, kind service, delicious drinks.
Food was just what I needed, well-seasoned.
We got the BEC, Fried chicken sandwich, and oxtail/spare rib dumplings. I recommend.
Thanks for having us!¡

Food is decent if you don’t know what to expect. Oxtail dumplings had a kick but that’s from the extra ginger (I did not ask for extra ginger) and it didn’t really taste like oxtail. If you want real Caribbean food I wouldn’t recommend. Food was prepared in a pretty timely manner. The place is nice inside and the workers are friendly.

After seeing this place for months around the neighborhood I was excited to try it. Unfortunately it’s just somewhere I don’t want to come back. Service and food overall were poor; our server didn’t even know the contents of the menu and seemed annoyed when we asked for recs.
Oxtail dumplings were decent and came out quick. Unfortunately the curried eggplant (bland) and dan dan noodles (imbalanced and way too spicy) took an hour to come out and weren’t worth finishing.
Btw, they add an extra 20% gratuity to every bill. Seeing the food and service, I can see why. Hate to hate a place but it’s New York- spend your money elsewhere.

Nothing but The Truth
First time diner at Sally 's. You can dine in or dine outdoors. The wait time was for sit-down was swift. The vibe was upbeat. The meal was delicious. I had the Guyanese vegetable lo main. Holly was our hostess. She was professional, yet very friendly. I would definitely go back to Sally's to try other dishes.

The food is amazing, the cocktails are awesome. Nice service and people. I love this place. I'm so happy to have this place in our neighborhood and it's just 2 blocks from home ❤️
Absolutely loved the food, so so flavorful and a great variety. The cucumbers were delicious, great dumplings too and loved the pork buns! The ambiance inside is also lovely and the service was great! Highly recommend this cute spot in Bedstuy.

First time was a 8/10. The food & service was GREAT. We got seated immediately and the staff was nice which made the experience good. Lamb wontons were Perfect just a lil too spicy for myself but the flavor was on point. Crispy chicken sandwich n pulled pork was GREAT as well along with the fries n salad. The drinks were great too but I wish there was more juice given instead of ice.
Second day coming here was a 7/10 and only because of the service. The food, again, was GREAT. Home fries were good and the Sally burger was good especially for someone who doesn’t eat burgers. The service now, wasn’t so great because it took 30 mins for the server to ask us what we wanted to eat. Also, apparently we needed reservations in order to sit in the booths but that wasn’t the case when we came the first time. Otherwise the food was GREAT, just very spicy.

Really loved this place! Everything had great full flavor and the fusion aspect I feel was really intelligently done! Also I am a sucker for a frose so I will be getting that anytime it’s on the menu. The crab Rangoon were really the main hit and a stroke of genius I think. I’ll be coming back for sure!

The food at Sally’s is always on point. I’ve eaten here several times and always enjoy the food. The slow service can be a challenge if you’re under a time crunch but the food and drinks make up for it.
