Reviews for Cheryl's Global Soul in Brooklyn, NY
The blackened catfish special was remarkably flavorful, highly recommend it alongside the baked Mac n Cheese if available. The... barbecue shrimp special, on the other hand, left something to be desired. It was hardly reminiscent of real New Orleans barbecueshrimp. In fact, it was more akin to basic garlic buttered shrimp (i.e. little to no necessary Cajun seasoning) and notably dry.The restaurant itself is a cool spot with excellent ambience, I would try it again and recommend you form your own opinion.Maybe we ordered incorrectly with two specials instead of any of their staple items; regardless, avoid the barbecue shrimp.

Got the chicken and pancakes and an omelet! HIGHLY recommend the chicken and pancakes. I?m usually a waffle gal but the jam,... cream, and syrup on the pancakes is to die for and the chicken was perfectly crispy. Just wish the chicken was bigger but atleast it was boneless. Omelet was alright but let?s be real how good can an omelet truly be? It?s just eggs and veggies. Serverwas incredibly sweet and food came out pretty fast. As a southerner, this wasn?t bad for New York. Just wish there were moresouthern options like hush puppies, grits, etc Read more
Went early summer. Saw reviews for this online and through Seated. They had a nice outdoor patio seating with little tables. We... were seated quickly since it was after lunch. Got a Crispy Chicken Sandwich - excellent flavor, crunch and great value at$10++. The problem is the service. Another couple that was seated 10 mins after us got their food first. We waited 30 mins formy sandwich. They seemed understaffed and it took another 15-20min to get the check. We went another afternoon and was toldthey stopped serving food to prepare for the evening service. This was 1 hr before it was advertised online, and was reallydisappointing since it?s a bit of a trek to go here. Their food was great but I hope service / staffing improves. Read more
Better than expected! Brooklyn, NYC fusion Jamaican restaurant across and up the street 2 blocks from Grand Army Plaza and the... main library. "Cheryls Global Soul" is amazing. Centrally located in an upscale neighborhood. Mid'sized with wheelchair roll-inaccess or street and patio outdoor seating. EXTREMELY helpful and pleasant team, who worked together to accommodate insideseating and as a group transferred me to my seat. Service was great, the brunch menu, typical of NYC, was limited but I knewthis from my planning. Slightly expensive for the portion size but it was explained in advance on the internet as due to risingcosts of staying in business. Bacon, 2 small pancakes, a chicken finger that seemed it had been cut into 3, honey mustardsauce, Chantilly cream and a mimosa was $50.00 and I left a $7 tip. The decor was very inviting and clean. The music Jamaican aswas the staff. The accessibility is excellent and the team is attentive, were glad to have me and were not visablly annoyed orconcerned I was a party of 1. I was not rushed, food was hot, tasty, clean and well presented. While they do not have adaptivecutlery, they switched my fork for a tablespoon, with no fuss, upon request! I had emailed the chef/owner to ask if they wereaccessible and she assured me they were. She never let on how great they were. The ambience, food and location are onlyecclipsed by the PHENOMINAL SERVICE on a Sunday Fathers Day morning! Reccomendation is 5 out of 4 stars! #meandmyscooter#bktyontheroadagain #cherylsglobalsoul #Juneteenth #nomadnesstribe Read more
Brunch was pretty good- I ordered an omelette and my cousin ordered the chicken sandwich and both were fine. We got a little hot... sauce for our plates and they weren?t kidding when they said it was hot- it tasted great though. We also got a Jamaican rumpunch which was very tasty and strong. The place itself was very cute and rustic. Definitely feels like you stepped out of NYwhen you come in here. Read more
The food was outstanding. I got a friend chicken sandwich and others I dined with got pancakes. The chicken sandwich was full of... flavor and was outright delicious. The only issue was the service at times. I asked the server 4 times for something and nevergot it. I asked another staff member to bring it. My children never got silverware so we shared ours. At that point , the serverwas busy and I didn't feel like waiting 30 minutes. The resturant is listed as kid friendly but I have three kids under 5. Wewere not comfortable with the size or seating arrangements dining out with our small kids. Read more
Good, filling savory food in a cozy setting with great vibes and good music. It gets busy for brunch on weekends so definitely... plan for a queue if you are coming with a larger group on a weekend and opt for indoor seating unless you like the outdoorseating scene. Indoor needs vaccination status and ID verification at the door. Read more
Cute but really small local place near the Brooklyn museum. Sometimes you have to wait to be seated. I took an omelet with home... fries and it was a bit spicy but still fresh and delicious. Read more
