I'd just like to move in here, but they won't let me. I love everything on the menu. The Fried Chicken and Artichoke Dip are my faves, but their healthier stuff is also delicious. Great cocktails too.

Love the vibes at Walter's. Fried catfish was very well-seasoned, oysters were perfect and great cocktail menu. We also were treated to a complementary slice of lemon pie. Excellent service.

Great brunch spot in the Fort Green Area. The hostess was so kind &gave me a complimentary mimosa while I waited for my party.The food was fresh and tasty, and the service was prompt, and attentive.

Excellent raw bar, salads are huge and filling, deviled eggs with sirachi--yum, and the seafood stew --They need to make it with a seafood broth. rare burger no good. Needs improvement. Good drinks

The fried chicken and waffles are amazing. Love the seasoning, the chicken is moist, the waffles are fluffy and I like the choice of sweet or savory sauces.

The pork chops are cooked perfectly and are paired with jalapeño grits that will melt the moment you taste it! The ambiance is dope...soul music on rotation the whole time...repeat!

Chicken & waffles+Sunday brunch= bliss!! Perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection. Pair it with a Bloody Mary or champagne. Leave room for their desserts. Worth every penny.

Fried chicken and waffles are exceptional. Consider getting a side of bacon - it's not necessary, and might even be a bit overindulgent, but it's worth at least thinking about.

Cucumber, mint lemonade...yum, add gin and your in heaven. Catfish sandwich delicious. Chicken and waffles - chicken juicy but waffle abit doughy... And yes the fries are that good!!'n

Yummy burger. Heard the chicken and waffles are awesome but only available for brunch. Drinks: Bramble was good. Hemingway daquari is okay. Opt for the Singapore sling! Wings are sweet and very spicy!

Food was so good. The salad was delicious and I had the steak, which was cooked perfectly. Would recommend this place to anybody. But know you're gonna spend.

Come for a heartu repast courtesy of Walter's raw bar, satisfying main dishes (the fried chicken with garlic mashed potatoes is a consistent winner), and market-fresh veggie sides. Read more

Secret tip-best ribs in NYC. Best items: ribs, fries, octopus, garganelli, steak
Brett JJanuary 5, 2012
Perfect dinner for 2: 2 gin brambles, artichoke dip, French Dip (fries, potatoes great) and brussel sprout side. Runners up: fried chicken and duck bun (spicy,cold like lobster roll.) 2 more brambles.
Mike McBryanDecember 2, 2014
True neighborhood spot. Crowded and energetic even late on a Sunday night. Try the oysters, duck buns, beet salad and brussels with apples.
Woldy ReyesApril 6, 2013
Th martinis and the Brussels sprouts are out of this world the bomb!!! :) also the blueberry cobbler is sinfully delish! Ask to add vanilla ice cream with it!

Newbie offshoot of Walter Foods on Grand in B'burg. Completely adorable. Live old-dudes jazz-jam sounds wafting in from the Fort Greene Farmer's Market across the street makes for a trés classy meal.
Aleah NicholeDecember 21, 2016
One of the great neighborhood spots and our go to when visitors are here. Consistently delicious food and great drinks.
Jamila LoubrielJuly 24, 2013
I find it pretty funny that every other restaurant in Brooklyn and NYC does to go or carry out orders except walter's bc their kitchen staff "can't handle it with the crowds". Please step your game up

The salmon eggs benedict & french toast were delicious! My Bloody Mary was really good too :-)
Veronica RayNovember 26, 2017
Had dinner with my mom here when she visited. Perfect classy yet unfussy place. Not crowded after work during the week.

Helles lager: quite good. Huevos rancheros also excellent. Good booze selection, nice if busy bartenders. Makes a good Aperol spritz. My go-to brunch.
ChristinaAugust 18, 2018
The complimentary muffins are where it’s at
KEJanuary 13, 2018
The dinner food is heavy (artichoke dip, burgers, the carrot app is like a super sweet dessert) and not worth $$$ in my opinion. Cozy, nice vibe to hang out and get a drink though!
Rebecca AtwoodJanuary 10, 2015
Excellent cocktails by a fine bartending staff. Good food and a relaxed yet trendy and romantic vibe.
SSeptember 22, 2013
Oysters are the best I've had in a long time. Briny and meaty. Artichoke dip also amazing but not if you're on a diet.
Peyton SherwoodNovember 2, 2013
great cocktails. nice bench with a view of the park (and street) to wait for your table on if the weather's nice.

Best fried chicken-most incredible drinks and be sure to ask for the chef special. Oh, and the key lime pie...don't forget it.
Robert MJuly 10, 2013
It's awesome great bartender with skills and the burger was great oysters were well picked cold and the mignonettes were perfect I mixed them together :)
Nicole FormicaDecember 28, 2016
The artichoke dip and brussel sprouts were outstanding. Come with friends and share all the sides!

Best place to have brunch post-Saturday farmer's marketing at Fort Greene Park. Plus, even if you don't eat here, they have a very open bathroom policy.
Doctore AguacateNovember 17, 2014
Great salads. Also, the 6$ oyster shooter is a steal. Only on the brunch menu, but they always have oysters......
AnthonyAugust 22, 2016
The Blackened Catfish on the brunch menu is delicious, as is the French Dip on the dinner menu.
HolidayApril 23, 2018
Remains open post brunch, pre dinner weekend afternoons albeit a reduced menu. Always a loud and lively restaurant.
Michelle WendyOctober 10, 2012
Do slurp up fresh oysters and fried chicken and waffles. Don't be deterred by the wait or bustling/cramped space. Its so worth it!
Gianna NebbiaNovember 21, 2017
Burger, bloody Mary, Home fries are all splendid
Peter ShumJanuary 12, 2016
It's just as good as their Williamsburg location. Was there for brunch and it absolutely hit the spot.

The Brussel sprouts are amazing!
Angie SandersAugust 8, 2015
Amazing Bloody Mary (and I'm picky). LOVED the Eggs Benedict with salmon!
Courtney BoltonApril 10, 2014
I come here all the time - excellent cocktails. Excellent brunch, plus oysters.

Don't be surprised when assholes will ignore you when you ask them to move their bags from the bench so you can sit down at your own table.
Katerina AnnaDecember 3, 2014
Great breakfast, great service, great music, FTW!
Tamara GoodmanJanuary 24, 2013
Brussel sprouts are AMAZING! Spicy honey for the fried chicken...yummy! Always consistent...always crowded :).
Rich DanielSeptember 7, 2014
Blackened catfish, pork chop were both outstanding. Amazing cheese grits.
