Love this place! You must make reservations for the weekend brunch but so worth it. I've had almost everything and nothing bad yet!

Decent spot, unpretentious cuisine and cozy pretty much, best couple seating inside I think is left corner back wall when entering the dining area (window side and away from service traffic)

Compliments to the Chef. The meals were fantastic. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive but not intrusive. The restaurant is intimate and comfortable. Not overwhelmed by music or conversation. The signature Chicken & Cheddar Waffles were delicious in every way. The crunch on that fried chicken let me know something good was about to go down. More importantly there was a depth of flavor beyond the crunch. The Cheddar Waffles, had a delicate balance of savory sweetness. A friend ordered the Short Ribs, and I was told that they were tender and flavored well, and by the look of the bones left behind I believed them. In addition, the side of buttermilk mashed potatoes were so smooth, and creamy. Just dreamy goodness. All in all a great experience!

Great little brunch spot! My food was very good. Nice service. They take reservations:)

Brooklyn just keeps trying to outdo itself with all these brunch spots, most of which are similar in nature with subtle changes to each restaurant's menu. Talk about cozy! This is a tight spot with only 20 tables, all white tablecloth, a hoity-toity bar off to the side, with another 10 tables outside. When it is a beautiful day, expect a bit of a wait. As for me, to the bar I go, taking my cue to exit stage left towards it. It does not take long for me to know what I want. A sticky bun, some pancakes, and of course, some fried chicken and a cheddar waffle. Yes sir, of course sir, and the order is placed as I wait not too long for item #1 to arrive. The sticky bun is oooey-gooey and has a nice sweet note. It is small, but not too small. Not like the ones you would receive at a Hampton Inn. It has a bit of a crunch as well, but overall not a bad deal, especially for the kids. Items #2 and #3 come not long after, so my stomach has little time to adjust to the new sensations. I try the Fried Chicken and Waffle first. The chicken has a nice fry to it, definitely has a buttermilk dredge to it because of the sour notes I picked up on. It is a dark piece of meat, but has good flavor. A little fatty and a very juicy bird, but it works well because the waffle is soft and cakey. The cheddar comes through subtly and contrasts nicely with the chicken. The side salad is great as a sidekick to the dish. I went for the pancakes last. Would it be a mistake? If you mean that they are massive, yes. Otherwise, they are three plate sized pancakes that are light, fluffy, and delicious. Like the chicken, these were made with a buttermilk starter as I can taste a bit of sour in the pancakes. They come with a dusting of powdered sugar and not much else. Some fruit would have been nice, but I will take what I can get. The pancakes should not be overlooked when looking for a safe item for anybody of any age. After my meal was over, I made sure to walk this off by taking the hard way all the way up to the platform of Smith-9th Street on the F/G train. It is the tallest elevated station in the system, and doing that would definitely burn some of this off. Get here early on a weekend and enjoy your brunch at Buttermilk Channel.

A rare gem that's not too casual/not too fancy and has delicious food I went here on a double date on a weeknight and it was full but cozy. The place is spacious enough and we could hear each other well To be honest, I can't remember exactly what we ordered but it was all delicious. I think there was only one vegetarian entree option and I really enjoyed it. Two people got the chicken and waffles which they both said was perfection. One person got some meat or lamb dish that was not a very big portion but tasty. This is a lovely neighborhood spot for a meal any time of the day. I'll be back for brunch!

Although, the long line is intimidating we were seated within 45 minutes for our party of 5. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was busy but also homey, like a large family celebrating Thanksgiving. The food came out hot and was very tasty. Great brunch spot.

Good brunch spot for catching up with a small group. I would recommend making a reservation if you go during the weekend, since at around 2pm Sunday it was still pretty busy. Portions are large so go hungry! Nothing stood out to me as particularly unique, but I think the value here is better than at some other brunch spots. The pancakes I ordered were massive and fluffy, and I would order again. The rest of my table had yogurt and granola, a fried chicken sandwich, and a pecan pie french toast. The sandwich overall was a bit weak in flavor and could have used a sauce, but the chicken itself was done well. The french toast was giant - half a loaf of bread perhaps?? - definitely the chunkiest I've seen. Service was decent. Our waiter was attentive, checking in pretty often. It's lively inside but the chatter is not overwhelming, so overall vibes are nice. Great experience on the whole!

It's been awhile since I've been to Brooklyn but I knew I wanted a memorable meal while here. Yelp led me to Buttermilk Channel. I'll be honest, I saw breakfast food photos hoping I could get that on a weekday only to realize they were brunch items that are available on the weekend. Reviews still looked great so I went. We had a reservation, but arrived to find there were tables available and we were seated immediately in the cutest window seat. The hostess doubled as our server, but he was very nice and helpful too. Started with an app - the house-made ricotta. It sounded delicious and the server agreed. The portion was enough to share. It was flavorful and the bread was very fresh. I ordered a honeysuckle rose cocktail. It was good. For an entree I went with the beer-steamed mussels. Wow. The portion was huge, the broth was amazing and the bread was fresh. I really enjoyed it. I loved that the broth was spicy and that it had lots of green olives. That was unique and added so much flavor. As I looked around, everyone's food looked good. The burger looked amazing, so did the bread pudding. I was so happy that this lived up to the hype and that I had a chance to visit.

My friend and I had a reservation for brunch here, which we had booked about a week in advance (though there were some time slots already fully booked). When we arrived, we were seated immediately - but note that they don't seat parties until everyone has arrived. We chose to share two dishes and opted for the fried chicken sandwich and pecan pie french toast. There was plenty of food to go around (we couldn't finish everything) and definitely felt we got a good value for the price we paid.
