My neighborhood staple. Love a place that has a limited menue and makes everything really well. Drinks are on point and vibes for days!

One of the best places in Brooklyn to have a dinner with your friends for a special occasion. I made a reservation through Resy, which initially could only accommodate 8 people but when I emailed The Fly to add more spots they were prompt and very helpful. On the day of our crowd shrunk a little but the team there helped set up the table for our smaller crew despite how busy it was. They continually checked in while people were getting settled in, then they began serving the pre fix menu right away- they also brought an additional veggie friendly sandwhich for our vegetarian friend. The food was abundant and delicious and the servers were so bubbly and hospitable. Our server brought the cake and candles out for our friend’s birthday as soon as they cleared the table (with no additional fee) then they sliced it up and offered everyone a piece. We all had such a wonderful time, the ambience was perfect, we didn’t feel rushed nor ignored in the Friday night bustle. Truly just phenomenal experience.

Our server was incredibly nice and gracious, offering to get us different drinks if we didn't like what we ordered. The vibes in this place were amazing and the food was to die for--simple but inventive and so perfectly executed. Creative and no frills just delicious and quality. Really neat wine list, too.

Some of the very best chicken that you can get in all of New York City! The Fly combines a simple menu and affordable menu with flawless execution to create an amazing overall dinner experience. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and delicious and their white sauce, green beans, and Caesar are standouts on the menu!

Everything was delicious. Menu is mostly drinks with a minimalist food menu of Caesar salad and chicken but delicious specials. Definitely recommend!

What I didn't realize is that it's primarily a cocktail bar, a busy and cool one, with a side of food. However the food, specifically rotisserie chicken just so happens to be fantastic. Potatoes were brilliant. Sauces were delicious (white especially)

quick seating & service, very nice atmosphere. our table of three shared a half chicken, caesar salad, and fries and it was the right amount of food. even after tip it came out to less than $20 a person - very affordable for an excellent and straightforward meal.

Obsessed with this place. The menu is perfect – they do one thing and they do it WELL. Chicken was amazing, fries were amazing, but I especially loved all the sauces. White sauce for the chicken was fantastic, dipping sauce for the fries was fantastic. And if they have the fried corn special when you're there, do not hesitate to get it.

Great neighborhood vibes. The half chicken and caesar salad combo was perfect. White sauce is the play here. Classic cocktail menu is also why I love this place and will revisit often!

Best rotisserie chicken ever. And their fries. Decent natural wine list. Note, they only serve chicken and fries. Staffs are friendly. Plenty of outdoor tables. @foomi_travels_everywhere

The chicken and fries were great. Drinks were great. Service was great. Salad was a bit bland and the rest of the food was just ok. Was not a fan of the pulled chicken sandwich

Chicken is incredible! Other dishes were very tasty too. We sat outside with a dog and they were very accommodating! Wine list is very cool and I’m excited to go back and taste some cocktails… and obviously get more chicken.

I’ll start by saying the food was absolutely outstanding. Everything from the chicken, all the sides, and even the salad was incredibly delicious. However I don’t know that I would recommend this place for large groups. The biggest problem was that it was incredibly loud and hard to hear in there. Like actual shouting to hear the person next to you, it’s really difficult to talk to anybody not immediately next to you (and even then it’s not easy to hear). Our service also wasn’t great, they set down our food and didn’t come back to the table for like 30 minutes and they only refilled our water when asked. All this is frustrating when you’re getting hit with the mandatory 20% gratuity for groups (which is fine but at the very least keep the waters filled and ask us if we want more drink orders).

Came here yesterday for dinner at the bar and it was scrumptious! I really liked how the menu wasn’t overwhelming. I am definitely returning with a friend and getting the half chicken. I decided on the chicken sandwich, fries, and Caesar salad. The salad was lightly dressed, crisp and yummy. Definitely recommend. The seasoning on the fries were unexpected but I felt it paired nicely with my sandwich and the ketchup. I’m not sure I would order or recommend the chicken sandwich. The celery and radish I saw didn’t add to its taste. I expected the chicken sandwich to be as flavorful as the fries but it wasn’t. It tasted good, I liked the bun, and it was big enough for me to take home but not my favorite. From my scan around the restaurant this looks like the perfect place dinner before going out with a group of friends.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, the few times I’ve tried to get a table it’s been extremely busy so I knew this place would live up to the hype. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. While I can agree, the chicken is tender and juicy it lacked flavor. However, the white it was paired with is extremely delicious. The Cesar Salad was alright, had a fishy after taste so definitely wasn’t mg favorite. I truly enjoyed the fries and love place that automatically serves them with mayo. Overall I’d have to give this place a 3.5/5

First time visiting, and it was an amazing experience. The food was great, but not the best I’ve had. The chicken was pretty good, but it could’ve been a bit crispier and a little less seasoned. The Potatoes were AMAZING! We went for a friends birthday and did family style dinner which was a great experience. The service was A1 our waitress tended to all our needs and was within arms reach whenever needed. The atmosphere was great. It took about 10 minutes to be seated, there were an influx of people. I had an amazing time here

I found this place on Google maps(explore). From the reviews, the place was a vibe. I get seated at the bar order a drink and some food. I'm not sure, but as soon as I started taking pictures and videos, the vibe changed. I ignored it and just ate my food . All of a sudden, the servers switched side. I go back to eating my food. When I ready to pack up what's left of my food . I Raise my hand to get the servers attention. They look at me and Proceed to ignore me. The other server notice that i'm trying to get their attention. Walks around the other side of the bar. Where this server is where they think that I can't see them and begin to ask the other server questions or tell that server something I guess the first server tells the second sever something whatever the situation the second servers proceed to take my order and service me. Now this server service was up right disrespectful. When i ask for my food to be wrap up they handed me a box no bag . I ask for another drink and this server handle it with such forced that it spill At this point I was like wait . This is my first time here ever, and this is how they treat you. I decided to try a Dessert, when I asked the server. If they had desserts they proceeded, tell me very little about the dessert that they had because it was obvious that they did not know. Didn't name or what to say? The dessert was so I asked if I could try it. They said they they don't give samples. And I was like wait what? I didn't ask for a sample that acts if I could try it. It was too much for me. That pad me at Woodson. I asked for the check. She threw the check at me so I took them only a dollar. The service sucks. I felt like they really rude me. I could be wrong or whatever, but. That's not. I've never had service duncan like that ever ever.

I came in excited to try this place but left pretty disappointed. I am not sure if there is a difference between to go and dine in, but I drove about ten minutes home and by the time I arrived, the fries were completely soggy from how they were packaged. I was not a fan of most of the sauces and honestly felt it was a waste of money to pay three dollars for a sauce, though the aioli was good. The Caesar salad was good and a generous portion, which was one of the better parts of the meal. While ordering, the music inside was extremely loud. When talking to the bartender, we basically had to yell at each other just to communicate. I am not sure why a restaurant needs the music at that level. They could easily keep the same vibe by lowering it a bit. The best thing on the menu was the ricotta donuts, but they were overpowered by the lemon. They would be better off skipping it altogether or adjusting the recipe. As for the chicken, it was fine. Nothing special, not bad, just okay.

our friends and i had the worst dining experience ever! we began the night with a mixup on the chicken dinner, but despite apologizing and being professional, we were treated with such little regard. our waiter was extremely rude and condescending, despite our many efforts to be respectful. we had a birthday, and at the end, after asking her two times if we could get a candle with the dessert (she kept saying she would “check” to see if there were any candles, even though there were multiple birthdays that night), she rushed over, threw the donuts on the table with such force that the candle went out. she saw it happen and walked away. yes, the food was good, but is it worth coming back? no! in a room full of white people in BED STUY, our table of color was treated horrendously. we spent the entire night flabbergasted by our waiter’s attitude. she would throw things at the table, spilled wine, and would shove us while sitting. it was so horrible we didn’t even want to tip, but still did, regardless. 2/10 experience, perhaps even a 1. if you’re a person of color, be weary of going here. the waiter is a short white woman with blond hair and glasses. shame on you.

Walked in and the bartender and one of the host both made eye contact and did not approach me. Both stared like I didn’t belong. When I tried to speak the immediately looked off. I placed an online order and just wanted to pick it up. I’ve heard this happening to other people but I now have the experience for myself. The heavy set Asian female bartender and the white girl in the sweater on 1/5/26 around 730pm. Someone finally approached and apologize but it’s still unacceptable. You’d think being in a black neighborhood your staff would be aware that they’ll have black customers.
