Came in on a Sunday night, place was full and lively. Bartender Wes, couldn’t have been nicer and went out of his way to make us feel at home. We were just visiting for a possible move to the area. Place has a “cheers” vibe where everyone knows each other. Cocktails are top quality to where you would pay $25 for half the price.

Late night find on a Sunday that was amazing. Birthday day night out, and food was the last thing on our minds, but I am so happy that this was the spot. Nice crowd, ambiance, and the staff was amazing and accommodating. From the bouncer , bartender, food runner, and compliments to the chef. I love fried chicken, and that's what got me to the establishment. The reviews don't lie. Healthy serving, crispy moist,and biscuits with honey butter. Finger licking good. My daughter, with her high standards on burgers, went for the bacon cheeseburger, and it was a hit. The chicken club ordered by my mom, who is definitely the picky eater, was a 2 thumbs up. Let me not forget that the drinks were really good as well. Frozen mojitos, Pina coladas, and the Rum Punch hit the spot on all fronts. If you're in the area, this is a definite must try spot. Now, on my list of faves to hit when in the area. Thanks for helping my birthday be tasty!!!

Popular in the industry. I’ve probably had 66 experiences here where I drank too much and ate too much and here we are I’m still standing. Some say best chicken sandwich in the biz. It’s pretty amazing. Never had something I didn’t like. Chilaquiles, soup, salad, all bangerz.

We were walking and stumbled, walking inside to a retro laid back bar. The first thing that caught my vibes is the reggae playing with the retro arcade and almost like you inside an old ship vibes. Once we were at the bar, the beautiful bartender asked what we wanted, but I could tell she wasn't too keen on me and homegirl but whatever. We ordered the Pina colada!!! Also, the Fried Chicken Plate w honey biscuits & sauces The mac n cheese and the black eye peas stew (need some salt & pepper). The fried chicken is a star itself....the crunch, BABY!!!! Juicy fried goodness. I'm definitely coming back. Nah, dip that chicken in the sauces. The hot and hot hot sauces are really good with it. The mac was IIGHT not my favorite. Definitely coming back for that fried chicken and Pina Colada cause it was hitting good.

Dive bar with a killer fried chicken plate. The nachos player is also very good. The drinks are meh. There is an outside patio open during the warmer months. The bartenders are cool. Know what you want before ordering do you don't black the bar. Been coming here for a while now and will always return for the fried chicken it's that good.

The best fried chicken I’ve ever had! So crispy on the outside and the inside is so tender and hot. The biscuit was really good too. Love the outdoor seating in the back!

i’d heard from an esteemed brooklynite that the commodore was famous for its fried chicken, so that’s what i came for. i ordered their fried chicken platter (which came with buttered biscuits) and added a side of mac n cheese. i don’t think i’ve ever tasted fried chicken so divine. i was blown away by how they managed to get the skin so incredibly crispy/crunchy while keeping the meat hot, juicy, and tender. the chicken was also perfectly seasoned and every bite was a satisfying combination of texture and taste. the mac n cheese was also very well made but the chicken was really the star of the dinner. i highly recommend trying! (i still dream about eating this chicken)

Came here in the afternoon just as the kitchen was closing. Debated for a bit and ultimately decided to stay because I’ll not be denied of my chicken sandwich lol. Started off with the Orange Julio, as if it’s the grownup Orange Julius. Two sips in and immediate brain freeze. The vibe is a bit chaotic but the bartenders did a great job making sure everyone is well-hydrated with drinks. Shortly before 5pm, my bartender gave me the food menu as if she could read my mind. I got the mild breast sandwich and a small side of fries. The sandwich came out piping hot and prolly the juiciest chicken breast I’ve ever eaten. Could it be a wet brine process..? However, the chicken was a tad too salty for my taste. Still, I inhaled the sandwich. The fries were okay..? Nothing special but an adequate companion to my sandwich. All in all, I was a very happy camper. I love the Commodore and I’ll be back for sure!

The fried chicken and a biscuit were fantastic! Definitely planning on coming back in for that! Atmosphere was pretty solid, it got really busy in the couple of hours we were there. A little frat boy/ broh'y.

I came for the fried chicken plate and it delivered. Everything else, maybe not so much. The fried chicken, as promised, is well brined and juicy, crunchy and has a ton of batter (hopefully you like that style). The plate is huge too and I ended up taking half home. The plate comes with biscuits which are ok but tastes like it was cooked a while ago, which is funny since I was there as soon as the kitchen opened at 5pm. The Mac and cheese also seemed to have been made a day ago and was lukewarm. Thankfully it reheats nicely but you don't come to the Commodore to eat food the next day. The atmosphere is that of a typical dingy bar and definitely felt like a low rent place. This feels like a late, late night place. Overall the chicken was great but everything else was eh.

We went pretty late, but luckily were able to find a booth to sit and eat at. It’s an order at the bar and the server comes to your table type spot. The medium spiced chicken sandwich was really good and filling. The burger was good as well, but their fried chicken is what they’re known for. If you’re thinking about sides, definitely get the Mac and cheese and the sautéed kale was also really tasty.

I’ve been coming here for years and I have to say I’m pretty disappointed in what it’s regressed into. I do hope they can turn it around. Starting with the service: I’m not sure why they have a phone at all if they don’t answer it. I spent $30 on an Uber to get here so that I could order takeout food only for them to tell me that their kitchen is closed at 12 on Sundays and it’s not updated on their end. That would have been really helpful to know before I ordered a car from Park Slope to patronize this establishment. The rest of this review is based on the most recent time I went and sat down to eat which was about a few weeks ago. The food: The fried chicken itself is fried too hard and lacks seasoning. The hot chicken sandwich is pretty good I would recommend that and not much else. The drinks: I remember them being a lot better. I think it’s just okay now. Still, I think the rum punch is the best drink followed by their frozen cocktails. The Commodore is not terrible or the worst by any means but it is somewhat a shell of what it used to be. I don’t know that they care all that much about improving, it seems to me they are thriving off of name recognition. Much needed improvements could turn me back into a regular. But right now I’m not seeing the vision.

The chicken sandwich (breast) was not what I expected. definitely a bit dry. The restaurant is pretty dark and loud, you go and order up front. The frozen drinks were pretty frozen that it was hard to drink.

The people were nice and the biscuits with honey were amazing. Bartender was nice too. The only problem is that I came to try their fried chicken and it was too much batter. I will leave a picture if everything that was batter. It was kind of ridiculous. If they could make that chicken with 1/5 of the batter I think it would be much better. It has an alright taste but it just kept breaking and making a mess everywhere. I kind of want to go again but I also don’t want to be disappointed again.

Such high hopes… such a letdown. I was genuinely excited to finally try The Commodore, but unfortunately it missed the mark in a big way. Let’s start with the positives: the ambiance is great. It’s divy with a touch of chic, and the drinks are actually very good. And… that’s where the praise ends. The service was downright frustrating. We planned to grab drinks and fries at the bar, but only one of us could sit because a dog was occupying an entire bar chair. I love dogs. I have a dog. But a dog sitting on a chair at a bar where people are eating? Hard no. As a paying customer, I shouldn’t be competing with someone’s pet for seating. This should have been addressed immediately by the bartender, but it wasn’t. Speaking of bartenders; they seemed far more interested in chatting with each other than acknowledging customers. Long stretches of being ignored made the experience feel unwelcoming and sloppy. It’s a shame, because the space and drinks have potential. Unfortunately, poor service and lack of basic awareness completely overshadow it. I won’t be returning, but thankfully the neighborhood has plenty of better options that actually value their customers.

I've been coming to The Commodore for years, so it's especially disappointing to share this experience. I came in for a food pickup recently and the quality of what I received did not match what I've come to expect from this place or what the menu promises. What made the experience even worse was the treatment I received from the male bartender. I was met with a noticeably unwelcoming and dismissive attitude that felt racially motivated. While other patrons were greeted warmly and attended to promptly, I was ignored, treated rudely, and made to feel like I didn't belong. No one should have to feel discriminated against when they're simply trying to pick up food and go about their day. As a long-time patron who has supported this establishment and recommended it to friends and family, this was a slap in the face. Between the underwhelming food and the discriminatory treatment from staff, I can no longer recommend this place. A bar can have great cocktails and trendy vibes, but none of that matters if your staff makes customers feel unwelcome based on the color of their skin. Management needs to address this it's 2026, and there's no excuse. After years of loyalty, I won't be returning. For the record I'm a Black female.
