This is where I want to go after I die. I'm training my soul while I still live.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014
This is a restaurant with focus: smoke, meat, and whiskey. The amber liquor flows freely, with a giant selection sourced from around the world - American bourbon, Scottish Scotch, Japanese whiskey. Read more

One of the few places I've eaten regularly at in NY. Get the pork nuggets, beer/burger pairing, shrimp and grits, pimiento cheese. They also have awesome bourbon cocktails and whisky tastings.
Tim CrookMarch 31, 2014
Amazing whiskey and bourbon selection and fantastic pork products. The crispy fried pork nuggets are fantastic and the cheese curbs with a spicy pimento dipping sauce are last meal worthy.
SierraFebruary 16, 2014
The fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs are out of this world. We got two orders of each, if that tells you anything. Also, their hot toddies are the best I've ever tasted.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014
The bar glows with more than 150 backlit bottles—and they're all available as 1-ounce pours. Cut each glass with an eyedropper of water and match its intensity with smoked and fried pork nuggets. Read more

With over 150 bottles, Char No. 4 offers one of the best whiskey selections in town. Don’t miss the Bourbon Bloody Mary or the Smoked Chicken Wings!

Poached eggs with cheese grits! AHHHHHH!!!! I've never had anything like it. Spicy, cheese, bacon 👊. Small though, share it with someone getting the pancakes. ;-)

The bacon in the Chef's Breakfast is thick and delicious! The brunch special is only $22 for a drink, app and one of three entrees, diggity dank

Pulled pork sandwich -> not too sweet, not too messy, not too expensive, perfect. Tastes so good with one of their house aged bourbons cocktails.

Brooklyn (Carroll Gardens): The brunch potatoes are incredible, or so we hear, and so is everything else! Food is about $10 – $15 or choose the Prix Fixe meal for just $16!
SApril 27, 2014
Brunch is perfect here. Get the pork nuggets, buttermilk biscuit, brisket BBQ, and pulled pork and crispy grits. I didn't even need to add salt to anything.

This place has become a favorite by Jetsetter Lifestyle, the boutique style atmosphere and accommodating staff makes a great brunch. This is definitely JSL Approved. -The Jetsetter

The whiskey/scotch selection is one of the best if seen. The menu is homey and delicious. I can't recommend Char more highly. Glad to have another neighborhood go to.

We love the Classic Cask 20 year, but at $150 for 2oz, it is a little pricey. For something splendid without the high price, try the Woodford Reserve. If whiskey isn't your thing, they also have wine.
Kate NorthwayJanuary 1, 2013
New Years Day brunch was delicious! The fixed price is the best deal. Our waitress was still under the influence of several substances from the night before.
Rebecca ChadwickFebruary 16, 2015
I came here on Valentine's Day with my boyfriend and we got the prix fix menu. It was perfect.
The Food SlutsJune 12, 2012
While there's an emphasis on bourbon-inspired barbecue food, Char No. 4 goes above and beyond. Try the house smoked thick cut bacon and the house cured lamb pastrami. Read more
Mabel ChungSeptember 18, 2014
$1 oysters til 7 during HH, and good whiskey/bourbon selection. Get a whiskey Bloody Mary. Pork nuggets are really good too
Alyssa GreenbergApril 6, 2014
A+ all around. The space is beautiful, staff treat you like royalty, and the food is decadent. Get the BBQ hash or buttermilk pancakes.
J CrowleyOctober 14, 2010
Great spot! Order the bacon and fried cheese curd apps!!! Side of corn bread is very good. Shrimp and grits was good -must like cilantro (?) key lime pie is very strong and flavor quickly gets tired.
Kevin KeatingSeptember 1, 2014
Bourbon menu is great, but do your own homework: waitstaff doesn't tend to be knowledgeable about the list. Also: get anything pork.
Andrea DugganJanuary 18, 2014
Get a side of their house made hot sauce regardless of what you order. Put it on the biscuit with apple jam, if you're brave.

The smoked chicken is out of this world! And there is one shy and one grumpy bartender. Easy to spot. Overall great place. Love it!
Jason KooDecember 4, 2013
The best thing I can say about this already ballin place is they still serve food on Tuesday night after 11:30 when a hungry commuter from CT gets back to Brooklyn craving bourbon & eats
CITY GRITAugust 9, 2014
It’s also one of our favorite spots for brunch. We love the Crispy Grits & the Biscuit Benedict!
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013
really fantastic bourbon selection. ask for drink pairings with your meal. the wait staff and bar tenders are great.
Bridgette RaesJanuary 12, 2014
The brussel sprouts will change everything you previously thought about brussel sprouts. And make room for the pork nuggets.
The Wall Street JournalJuly 26, 2010
Popular brunch options include the biscuits Benedict with house-smoked ham and poached eggs; buttermilk pancakes with marmalade and pecan butter; and the poached eggs with bacon cheddar grits. Read more
Meredith KamudaAugust 1, 2011
If you order the house-cured bacon, espect pork belly. Pass on the buttermilk pancakes, unless you have three people to share the plate with you. Biscuits benedict and shrimp grits are good.
Sandra RubinchikAugust 13, 2014
This is a fab place to celebrate a birthday. Just ignore your babushka when she says not to order her anything, or else she'll be picking off everyone else's plates the whole time despite her "diet."
Saneel RadiaAugust 20, 2011
If you're there for brunch, do the Prix Fixe (add bacon to the grits). If you're not there for brunch, come back for it tomorrow. No, really. Mind blowingly good.
Zach HaleAugust 31, 2014
The smoked pork nuggets are holy crap amazing. Order them as an appetizer while you wait for your brunch.
Matt DorvilleAugust 10, 2014
Great who ices in whiskey and check out their event calendar as they have some cool stuff.
Madeline RJune 12, 2015

Order the Char platter for brunch with a side of biscuit with gravy...move the eggs to the biscuit plate, add gravy then voila: 2 breakfasts.
Tudor LeuApril 10, 2013
Get anything with a side of bacon and sip your cup of coffee -- one of the best I've had anywhere.

Order the grits with a side of sausage. Use the syrup from the sausage and add it to the grits. You're welcome.

Get the Pork Nuggets. That's a no brainer. Go there for brunch and get the shrimp and grits. It's pretty tasty.

There's a reason the lamb pastrami has been on the menu for so long, and that reason is that it is fantastic.
Tom MaximAugust 23, 2014
Louisville sunset- pineapple juice, cranberry, line and bourbon. Also a pic of the ceiling.
Greg PalmerNovember 20, 2014
Try a few types of whiskey while you're here. Trust the bartender's recommendations.
BKApril 12, 2015
Chef's breakfast looked promising, but under-delivered. Only thing keeping this place from earning a zero was the Bloody Mary. And to top is all off the waiter was bizarre and increasingly creepy.
Pesky COctober 31, 2010
The Brisket with pickled cabbage and beer cheese was out of this world! Also pork nuggets and corn bread! Such great food! but MAKE RESERVATIONS!!! VERY popular place!
Elizabeth ZellerSeptember 27, 2014
The cheeseburger is amazing! A must-have. The lamb pastrami is also incredible.
SavoredMay 17, 2011
With a kitchen turning out impeccably smoked meats and more than 150 bottles of whiskey behind the bar, we recommend the delicious Pork Nuggets and Shrimp & Grits.
Kaite KellyMarch 18, 2012
Best brunch in cobble hill, I love the bacon cheddar grits & cheese curds, but I miss the latkes! Those were awesome!
CarolynAugust 17, 2014
The fried pork nuggets, biscuits & gravy & chipotle bourbon bloody are my faves.
Heidi HooverJuly 25, 2011
Yummy crab cake. And if they have salted caramel ice cream, it's not to be missed. Also really like the Noreaster cocktail.
Serious EatsSeptember 30, 2013
Delightful southern food with some nods towards barbecue, plus an excellent bourbon selection.
